Hickman's FF run is still the best FF run that wasn't Mark Waid's and Kirby's.

It shouldn't. That panel was presented without any context and for people unfamiliar its meaning is completely alien.

MTMTE #50 is one of the most gutwrenching things I've ever read, though, no joke. It's a rollercoaster of emotions and the culmination of a really long run.

I'm going to edit this post post underneath in a few minutes with a couple of panel choices from that issue just after I install something that can cut images.

All right, so it starts pretty. Our heroes take a detour, save some alien race.



And Megatron, the franchise's villain, has pretty much redeemed himself by now. Turned into a pacifist, works hard to build a new future together with his ship's crew.





And of course just when things are looking good, the culmination of several issues of plotting comes crashing down. Betrayed, attacked by their worst enemies, that crew can do nothing but send a final message (in fact, it's implied they are forced to at gun point but don't let that get in the way).





I've said this before, but MTMTE is the best book you are not reading right now. Go change that.

Well, we don't know their fate yet, as it's part one of a six-part storyline. All we know is that Optimus Prime got a message three weeks after they said they would be dead in six hours and that Things Look Bad.

On the one hand, this is true. On the other, it's Transformers. Nothing happy ever happens to Cybertronians. I'm happy Megatron is happy, but I also know it won't last.

That and Captain Marvel should never say "What the Hell?" ever. That whole thing calls to mind the alleged quote from Greg Rucka about "If you make a Superman movie that you can't bring your kid to, you've done something wrong." That movie was pretty PG-13, but par for the course for the modern DCU which borders on Image bloodshit territory.

In defense of that scene, WW hears the admission and says something like "You should feel powerful. I feel powerful when I wear this" to somewhat normalize the effect of the confession.

The bit I remember about that scene in the movie is the kid with the ice cream. In the comic version, the kid (and the ice cream vendor) are both black. In the movie, they're white.

You’re telling me Peter Parker is ...... Spider-man!?
X-O Manowar 35
X-O is a Visigoth who was captured by the Vine, brought to their planet and enslaved. He escaped with the help of the most holy of the vine artificts (X-O armor) and returns to earth to find centuries have passed. He attacks the Vine homeworld, but leaves on good terms with the remaining ones. After a couple of things happen the vine homeworld is attacked and this happens.

Those ships were the last of the vine. The planet was attacked by the Dead Hand and they cause their sun to go supernova.

Faith. She is a sci fi geek who discovered that she had powers, and after they were activated she helped start a rebellion. The fall of books show the fates of all of the Valiant characters, and this is fates. She is a really fun character and her series is really good.

Agreed :( As much as I'm enjoying Redeemed Megatron, I know that comic books love the status quo too much to set my heart on his staying good. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for this change to stick, but...
