You’re telling me Peter Parker is ...... Spider-man!?
So what the gently caress was Howard the Human? It was one of the craziest things I have read in a while and I want more.

Also, in a move that was predictable from issue #1 of Armor Wars, turns out Tony Stark was the badguyyyyy ohhhhhhh. God Robinson, I certainly hope Squadron Supreme doesn't suck like this.

So once all this SECRET WARS stuff is over, can Noelle Stevenson start writing Runaways for real? Not necessarily with these characters, but maybe some hybrid of the older team with a couple new people? I just think her writing style is the closest I've come to enjoying Teen Characters since the original BKV days.

:fake edit: also the art on this book is solid gold

:real edit: just realized the robot they fight in Weirdworld is the Leapfrog from the original series.

I like it, but i'm biased. I did enjoy that Scott calls Colossus on all his poo poo and the fact he's literally let hundreds of mutants and people die because of his obsession with rescuing Illyana.

It's not Armor Wars bad but it's not all that great either. If you're a fan of any of the characters it's fine but otherwise skip it.

Inferno features Colossus and Mike Norton on art. So at the very least it has that going for it. Those are the two things that almost tempted me into getting it. But in the end it was a casualty to better sounding books.

Or was Mike Norton on one of the other X books I didn't pick up? Either way Inferno had good art whether it was by Norton or not.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I am really liking it. Lumberjanes is a book with a really nice feel to it that I thought might be lost in a mainstream story but Runaways is equally really pleasant to read.

Besides the ones I mentioned earlier, I noticed

Storm/Logan
Psylock/Angel
Cap/Rescue
Beast/Brand

I can't identify who Kurt is with, or who the couple directly behind Carol are. It also looks like the Monarch is there.

Don't miss Cap and Tony too.

I told my wife "Ya this Summer Marvel is doing an event, and most of the titles don't really interest me so I won't be spending that much this summer!" She's like :toot:. Then I started reading about all the tie ins and how awesome they sound and I was like :aaaaa: and now I'm spending between 20 and 30 a week. If this even goes on much longer divorce might be in my future, but it would be worth it!
