Has Gillen ever written Dazzler? I'm thinking that a mini with him as the writer would be amazing. It probably wouldn't sell a single issue, but imagine how great it would be to see a sequence in which she introduces Longshot to Pulp.

Any good, ongoing Doctor Strange series worth reading?

At least until, during an official ball, the classical inhuman music act is disintegrated. Others follow. Dazzler realizes that it’s here, somehow, to judge art. Her band – with Black Bolt guesting on backing vocals – don’t have to just play the gig of their lives – they have to play the gig to save everyone’s lives. Oh my God

The idea of Dazzler using Black Bolt's backing vocals as power to get on a Celestial level loving owns bones.

It's like his missed arc on Journey into Mystery where Loki would've led a rag-tag team in a game of Mayan Ball Game to prevent the apocalypse. Even if it didn't, strictly speaking, happen, it happened, more than a lot of arcs that are actually real comics.

srypher posted:Any good, ongoing Doctor Strange series worth reading? Dr. Strange has had trouble the last several years actually maintaining an ongoing series. That's why he's always part of a team and he gets a mini every now and then. Dr. Strange: The Oath is a Vaughn mini with some really good loving art. It is basically Wong and Strange go on adventures. There was also a Mark Waid/Emma Rios mini a few years back, shortly after Strange was no longer Sorcerer Supreme, called The Doctor Is Out. I haven't read it in a long time, but I remember enjoying it. Someone else might be able to recommend the early era of Marvel stuff, but I'm not as familiar with it. I think Strange has a few of those Essential Collections which are pretty cheap.

I've heard that Roger Stern wrote Dr Strange for a while; I've not read it, but it's Roger Stern, so I assume it must have been quite good.

I've only read the Ditko stuff but the Englehart (I think?) stuff after it is supposed to be very good.

Rhyno posted:There's contracts saying what can and can't be done that we'll never know the full details of. One thing did come to light, Disney can never release IV-VI in their original theatrical versions on any format. Does Gillen really like Star Wars? Like, enough to just sit down and do the rough equivalent of a JJ Abrams Star Trek / Geoff Johns Everything soft reboot of it? Because I can't imagine Disney is looking to revamp the Star Wars Comics line with anything less than a story where All Your Favorites appear in Very Marginally New Ways. And that really doesn't seem up Gillen's alley, unless they made him an offer that will allow him to buy a second home to store all his 45s in.

The ideal situation for Star Wars comics would be for Marvel to contract John Ostrander to do it, since he's consistently proven to be the best Star Wars comic writer of them all.

Edge & Christian posted:Is there a source for this? Didn't Lucasfilm (while still fully owned by George Lucas) put these out like five years ago? Never is a strong word, basically how it breaks down is that Fox still has distribution rights to the OT. They have ESB and ROTJ for a couple more years but they have the rights for distribution for ANH in perpetuity. So they could make a deal but it would require Fox cooperating.

Chortles posted:Disney/Lucasfilm Story Group already did the 'soft reboot' insofar as all of the existing comics (like the rest of the Expanded Universe) are shunted off into the "Legends" brand, while all future Star Wars comics under Marvel and all future licensed novels would be as canonical as both trilogies and The Clone Wars and Rebels animated TV shows.

d00gZ posted:Merry loving Christmas. Kieron Gillen posted:Dazzler starts her set. It’s old school Dazzler, but merged with the her more modern take, her classics reinvented – it’s populist, crowd pleasing, communal, a world away from the austere chamber music of the people. You can dance to it. You can cry to it. You can live to it, y’know. And - as Black bolt sings - Allison absorbs all the energy into the biggest lightshow on earth, her body growing in energy, growing in intensity, just growing… until, at the song’s apex, she’s literally the star she’s always wanted to be.

Greetings, true believers. I'm sort of getting myself into Marvel comics again, catching up on old favorites and introducing myself to those I should have read in the past. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some "definitive" Captain America stories I could bite into.

Waid's Man Out of Time mini-series is a really good retelling of Cap's origin story if you're looking for something like that, as well as being the best thing Waid has written in years.

I was wondering, what are some of the best essential collections? I was thinking of picking up an entire run of books, but after reading a few reviews here and there, the printing quality seems to fluctuate and not all of them are well-considered in terms of what issues they collect. And I'm assuming the black & white look doesn't benefit every book they put out. I was mainly considering X-Factor, since I've never read it, but apparently it looks like crap? Either way, I'd be glad to hear some thoughts.

Essential Moon Knight v. 1 & 2 Essential Man Thing v. 1 & 2 Essential X-Men v. 1 through ??? depending on how much you like Claremont's X-Men (I like it a lot), at the very least 1 & 2 Essential Doctor Strange v. 1 I just got Essential Power Man & Iron Fist v. 1 and I haven't gotten very far but I like it so far. I think the look benefits the pulpy '70s Marvel stuff really well (seriously, get those Moon Knight books).

I have the first two Essential Amazing Spider-Mans and I would recommend them always and forever. I have the first three Punisher Essentials and I will also recommend them always and forever but only if you like the 80s and action movies. It looks fairly decent and it is really stupid, but in a fun way.

irlZaphod posted:Yeah, for the past few years they've been putting out some fantastic, lower-profile books. If you're liking X-Force, you should check out Spurrier's X-Men: Legacy book which concluded just prior to his X-Force starting. They're not related at all, but it was a great book. Ms. Marvel is really a joy to read, though. And X-Club, possibly the best X-Men limited series in the last decade.

Ugh.A lot of the characters involved are really interesting, and I just don't see the value in killing them off, even if they hit a big reset button at the end. Has anyone ever given a poo poo about Arcade? He's only really useful as a foil for video games.
