I'm sure he'll be back when there's a project he wants to do. He's very much in a place where he can do what he wants as he wants.

I actually like most of Gillen's marvel work way more than his creator owned work. The more of a darling of his something is the less I seem to like it. I have zero interest in W+D, and vaguely more than zero for phonogram.

Odds of Marvel pulling the trigger with a fill-in artist before this is over?

So what do they do with all the post Secret Wars #1s? Delay the entire line for one artist?

No. The in universe time gap lets the new books roll out with fresh story lines instead of focusing on the aftermath of Secret Wars.

I suspect only characters that were on the rafts plus Doom and maybe Strange (he's dead, so who knows what he'll remember) will even know Secret Wars happened.

Spider-man gets on the Spider-mobile and tells Mockingbird how crazy it was when Reed and Doom finally made out in order to revive the multiverse.

I agree that these tie-ins for the most part have been pretty great. Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde, Civil War, 1872. I even liked Renew You Vows. Spider-Verse is good but the art isn't my favorite. Does anyone know wtf is going on in Ultimate End though? Also, that's CRAP that the main series is delayed again.

Ultimate End has been poo poo because Bendis was secretly replaced by a terrible writer 2 years ago, maybe 3.

I think Bendis has like an assistant he gives books to that he doesn't really want to write so he can focus on the one he actually wants to. That explains why he's so inconstant.

I think Bendis is better at writing books that tell a story from mostly a singular character's perspective. All his best books are solo series.

I also don't think he is great at writing big events. I don't think his big team books are usually bad or anything, I just don't think they are nearly as good as his other stuff.

I've just noticed that Bendis has been sucking so bad lately but I attribute it to him being spread too thin. Guardians of Knowhere sucks too. If Old Man Logan weren't drawn by Andrea Sorrentino I probably wouldn't bother reading it. Endless Mike posted:It's not really hard to figure out: 616 and 1610 were shoved into the same domain, unlike all the other realms, so the various characters are directly interacting with each other, making tensions high. They're not happy about it, and so they fight. It's just kind of all over the place and not very well written. But are the 616 characters just Doom-created copies, and the real 616 people are on the life raft? I don't have it in front of me right now. Also, for Civil War's ending, I bet Cap still ends up dying for whatever reason.

The only *actually* 616 and 1610 characters are those who were on the liferafts, and of the latter, only Miles and Reed actually made it on-board. So at the end of #4, is that the 'real' Miles, and that's why he's the one who 'can change everything'?

I need to go back and reread the main series again because I distinctly remember my reaction to UE #4 being "Okay.. BFD it's another fake Spider-Man what's he gonna do. There's also a fake Peter Parker." For some reason I didn't know it was the real Miles, or as Kitty Pryde would put it, a "Living Anomaly."

Okay he was not shown to be there, but its pretty obvious knowing what happened in that issue, that its the real Miles.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing since issue 2. Issue 1 was good, but since then it's been the same every issue. Really makes it no big deal to travel from place to place without much problems (for a super hero) when you've gone to like 5 locations in 2 issues.

Old Man Logan and Godzilla in Hell have the same story and it's not story you're there to read. The art is gorgeous and it's a simple enough concept so art is all you need.
