If we're doing this, my female Avengers line-up absolutely would include Spectrum, Boom-Boom and Elsa Bloodstone. I don't care who else is in it.

Superior IM #2 was pretty disappointing for me. I was hoping they'd stick with the meat of the setting rather than go for superheroes trying to beat each other up so quickly.

Well, it is Iron Man being a supervillain, so a superhero trying to beat him up is par of the course. That said, if we get other heroes after Daredevil then i'll get suspicious of this comic.

While I realize that there is now a Spider-Woman ongoing and I'd really rather her not be "Spider-Girl", could you really not come up with a better name for the title than "Spider-Gwen", Marvel?

I did some checking (so I'm probably on an FBI watchlist now), if Wolvie went all the way, he'd be guilty of both statutory rape (since he's way more than 4 years older than the 15-year-old Mary Jane and rape by deception (since he was in Peter's body and pretending to be Peter). Of course nothing actually happened, but he probably had it coming when Magneto killed him in Ultimatum.

PaybackJack posted:Smartest Good point. I can't believe I forgot about Valeria. She'd be perfect. I want a Valeria and Franklin adventure book so bad. So mine would be Carol Danvers, Storm, Angela, Phoenix (replace her with Emma when she dies. HA!), Angela, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Scarlet Witch, Spitfire. Let Valeria be the one who makes the team and gives missions with funding from the Fantastic Four's b.s. I'd read that book. Emma might make for more fun reading and interaction and her diamond form can allow her to be in a fight. Gatts fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Nov 28, 2014 |

Gatts posted:Good point. I can't believe I forgot about Valeria. She'd be perfect. In addition to Invisible Woman and Valeria I'd go with: Faiza Hussain, a.k.a. Excalibur instead of Spitfire. I like having a different religious view on the team, and her powers are strong enough that with a writing boost they could be omega level. She also wields the sword Excalibur which is rad. Carol Danvers is definitely on the team as field leader, and I'd throw someone pretty new like Smasher. Izzy is a new mom and a fairly new superhero; so I like the growth potential here as she learns how to be both from women like Carol and Sue. I really like the Black Widow/Spider-Woman pairing in Avengers. I'd keep them because they'd be the closest to regularly working class people, who've been to the rodeo before, and have that "Once more into the breach, dear friends?" kind of thing going. They're the 'everyman' on the team and would ground the stories on occasion and have some fun jokes where needed. They're mostly background pieces but they fill in those in-between moments and have enough depth already that if you need them to step up to the plate they can handle the role. I'd round it out with Magik instead of Scarlet Witch just to have someone who's a total outsider but also I think Valeria and Illyana on the same team has about a zillion easy storylines to write no matter which direction you take it. tl;dr My final lineup for Women's Avengers Club Invisible Woman - Susan Richards Valeria Richards Captain Marvel - Carol Danvers Excalibur - Faiza Hussain Smasher - Izzy Kane Black Widow - Natasha Romanov Spider-Woman - Jessica Drew Magik - Illyana Rasputin PaybackJack fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Nov 28, 2014 |

Castomira posted:I'm thinking about getting into New Avengers, since I keep hearing about all this Incursion poo poo and want to know where it's going, but... judging by the little I've read about it on Wikipedia, is it as much of a sausagefest as it looks like it is? I just want to echo what someone else said, but I would 100% read Avengers, and buy the Infinity trade since Infinity ties really heavily into the Avengers/NA story. I started reading both books during "The Prelude to Infinity" and I just kept on going from there. I've eventually read every issue of Hickmans run and my God it's fantastic.

I have to say I am really glad that this sale happened. I have been wanting to get back into comics, and Marvel Unlimited looked great, but I just kept pussyfooting around it. I've started off reading the Hickman New/Avengers leading up to Infinity, and it's great. I also fully intend to dig up all those recommendations from earlier in this thread, so thanks in advance for those.

I picked up the deal today myself (still on through tomorrow I think). I never really read any Marvel before (or really that many comics in general. Just random comics I've been recommended over the years like Scud and Chew ) I'm just aware of Marvel because of TV shows / movies / video games etc. I also just recently played Lego Marvel and now want to dive into trying to read more about some of the more obscure characters and events that the game referenced. I don't plan on renewing it but I could easily see myself doing so if I get hooked in any way. So it really is a devious idea. Billy Gnosis fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Dec 4, 2014 |

http://www.comicvine.com/articles/first-look-the-unbeatable-squirrel-girl-1/1100-150564/ Preview of first Squrrel Girl. The art has a distinctive style that fits the book. Also, I though the tail was actually part of her.

I love Inhuman but I feel like going from issue 8 to 9 I missed something. After (spoiler for issue 8) they found Black Bolt they kinda just shrugged and moved to a different story line. It was kind of jarring. I love the whole Nur, Inhuman detective story line.

I think the art is great because she looks kind of fugly like she did when Ditko drew her. I don't think it's bad art so much as a deliberate design choice, which is neat when most other lady heroes look like they were drawn to be fuckable first and everything else second.
