Just started retreading Morrison's X-Men. Where was the foundation of the nation of Genosha laid out?

So there was basically no development of the island for ten years between that and the destruction?

The big thing related to Genosha prior to Morrison's run was that Magneto had gone there while the population were suffering from the Legacy Virus (mutant AIDS). When that was magically cured, Magneto suddenly had a large, healthy mutant army at his disposal. That was the Eve of Destruction storyline from Uncanny 392-393 and X-Men (Vol. 2) 111-13.

Locke & Key takes place in a town called Lovecraft, so it's certainly wearing its inspiration on its sleeve.

North 40. Definitely North 40. And Fatale, though that's not strictly a horror book.

I liked Boom Studios' Fall of Cthulhu series. If you do check it out, just a note: the second-to-last arc is actually the end of the ongoing storyline. The last few issues/last trade are a miniseries about, for some reason, the Secret Atlantis Origins of Nyarlathotep's Pet Cat.

There was an early Dr. Strange story that was basically him in Shaddow over Innsmouth. I want to say it was the first story after Strange Tales became Dr. Strange.

The first volume of Fall of Cthulhu is outstanding, definitely one of the best Lovecraft comics I've read. The art takes a serious nosedive after that to the point of ruining the whole book, but that first one is loving great. The art in the Dreamlands sections is enormously creepy.

I've completely avoided Secret Wars thusfar, but I picked up Civil War on a whim (because the film, and also because Soule writes good funny books), and it's gotten me interested in the rest of the Battleworld books. Are any of the other series' absolutely essential? In terms of quality, rather than importance to the main plot.

I enjoyed E For Extinction the most (I'm sure being a fan of Grant Morrison's New X-Men helps there.) Old Man Logan was good and sets up the ongoing series. It's Bendis instead of Jeff Lemire on the mini, but Andrea Sorrentino carries over for art, and he's great. Lemire and Sorrentino killed it on Green Arrow together previously. Attilan Rising was just okay, and I loved Soule's Inhuman. I gave up on everything else I tried (slash waiting to pick them back up on Marvel Unlimited), but Weirdworld has incredible art.

If you're looking just for quality, I'd recommend Thors, 1872 and Siege. Are you going to read the main series? Some of the tie ins (especially Siege) rely on the setup/premise and events of the main book enough that you might be a little lost if you haven't followed it.

Yeah, just finished Weirdworld and it was fun. Abrupt ending, though. Looks like it's going to be an ongoing. X-Men '92 if you have any nostalgia of X-Men in the 90's. Does Groot count? Cause that was fun as hell. Hank Johnson, Agent of Hydra.

I was reading a decent amount of Marvel before the dumb Axis thing stepped in and started ruining all my storylines. Is that poo poo and whatever multiverse fuckery that happened done with? I was really digging the "fun" titles (Ms. Marvel, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Loki: Agent of Asgard, Superior Foes of Spider-Man). Are those or something similar still going? Also any gritty street-level stuff on the same wavelength as Daredevil before the move to San Francisco?

Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl are both relaunching with the same creative teams. Loki is done, Superior Foes is done. You might like Howard the Duck. The Daredevil relaunch *might* be what you're looking for, also.

Yeah I knew Axis was only a while but didn't it immediately flow into a new secret wars or something? Massive crossover events just murder my interest in following my favorite stories so I stepped out to let all that poo poo resolve itself. I'll check out the ones you mentioned. Any of the Spider-people doing anything fun?

The art is beautiful, the plot is straightforward but competent, and the series does indeed manage to present a weird world. And it's not related to any main plot in any relevant way, so it's basically a cool little 5-issue sword and sorcery mini.

Axis finished in December 2014 and in most respects was forgotten almost immediately afterwards. Secret Wars launched May 2015 and disrupted about 90% of Marvel's traditional line. The books that continued to publish were bannered "Last Days" and all of their plots revolved around how the heroes in the book dealt with the events that kicked off Secret Wars. If you were enjoying Loki and Ms Marvel, I would highly recommend reading both series through to their conclusion - they had great endings and were/are some of the best comics around. The main Secret Wars series was scheduled to conclude in late September, but its conclusion was delayed and is currently scheduled for December, but in all likelihood it will drag into January or February. Marvel's regular line has resumed publishing and there have already been a ton of new #1s with more to come in November and December. It's a good time to jump in on anything you think sounds fun.

Just read through the end of Agent of Asgard and IT'S GREAT. Reminds me of everything I loved about the Journey Into Mystery run of Loki. Bummed that it's the end but I also don't know how you could keep a story that's so necessarily meta running full-time. Nehru the Damaja fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Nov 7, 2015 |

Everyone talks about how great Cyclops is, but he's only been a jerk in the runs I've read. What are some good story arcs that show off why people like him? I have Marvel Unlimited, and I haven't read much of the X-Men.
