I kinda like the Ascendants from this week's Avengers World. Glad to see somebody got around to doing something with the Monkey King from that one-shot during Fear Itself.

Every time I feel he's not using Namor enough Hickman goes and does something like today's NA

I do love NA's increasingly futile attempt to cram all the relevant backstory into the one-page paneled recap.

The events of this issue mean that the guy standing at the back of the New Avengers #24 cover is probably Maximus right?  I can't think who else it could be, unless maybe The Norn or The Rider survive the fight with the Illuminati and make it to the 616 universe.

That trenchcoat and the pattern on the outfit makes it pretty clearly Maximus, I think.

I wonder if we'll see Thane and Ebony Maw again in Hickman's run or if they're stuck over in Inhumanity.

So this book is a metaphor for how DC is using New 52 to save their dying world but then Marvel NOW comes along and wrecks them, right?

And that they're really guilty about dwindling marketshare but only one Earth can survive and it will be the one with Namor, right.

Soonmot posted:Goddamn, when will they get to the fireworks factory!!!! Haha yeah. This arc does definitely feel like a permanent case of blue balls, but then I think of how frequently we get issues of Avengers/NA without delays, and even in build-up issues there's enough interesting elements or interactions that it doesn't feel like filler.

I don't get how people complain about how Hickman never does character work while at the same time people complain about three straight issues of character development in New Avengers.

New Avengers has been fantastic from start through now, imo. The Avengers also pretty good. I loved Infinity. This whole run is the best event I've read in Marvel or DC comics.

"We have hope." "Well... I hope you can come up with something better."  Namor you glorious bastard. That panel alone was worth the price of the full comic.

I was hoping it'd stick around longer.

I was honestly expecting the Great Society to attack the Illuminati because on their world, they are the not-legion of Doom. Also, BP telling namor "Shut the gently caress UP".

This issue has convinced me that the Bruce Banner in NA is the evil duplicate. Banner: Hey Hank, look I fought my evil, sociopath alternate dimension counter part and put him in a prison so I could go off the grid and help you guys out. He was just like me, only he had a device installed to allow him to change into Hulk at will since he couldn't trigger the change itself. On a completely unrelated note, I need your help to build a device I can use to change into the Hulk at the press of a button. It will really help us stop the Incursions.

Watch it not even be a metaphor and that that's the other way they used to save the universe that they wouldn't dare talk about. Also Namor was amazing this issue.

The Question IRL posted:This issue has convinced me that the Bruce Banner in NA is the evil duplicate. No, I just think Hickman is covering his bases. Unlike the others, who can go back and forth with the Illuminati, Bruce is pretty much there full time. So if he's spending a lot of time cooped up in a lab, it makes sense to have some control over his transformation. I'm really glad Hickman took his time into getting the Illuminati membership down. Bendis would've just nonsensically rushed Banner into the Illuminati, have Namor make a joke about shooting him into space, and just handwave any of the obvious questions of why Banner would join the Illuminati.
