The SHIELD comic just before Secret Wars wasn't itself in the MCU, but took like everything from Agents of SHIELD.

It's not perfect or mindblowingly good or anything like that, but it's solidly entertaining. Believe me, I wanted Web Warriors to be good and have some legs, I really did. If only to get something halfway decent for Spider-Girl out of Spider-Verse (other than the Frenz/Defalco stories - which let's be honest were bandaids). I'm kind of wondering how Web Warriors is going to handle (Spider-Women/solicitation spoilers) Spider-Gwen losing her powers - is it even going to come up? That might be an issue.

Yvonmukluk posted:The thing is though, by making it specifically all about Spider-Men, you're inherently limiting the whole thing when you compare it to, say, Exiles. That was willing to harvest from all aspects of marvel continuity - Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four - and you had a mix of characters with different powers and skillsets. As opposed to the Web Warriors, who all have more-or-less the same powerset (and to a lesser extent the same skillset). It's just not as interesting. And it kind of illustrates a team of alternate-universe Spider-Men, in and of itself kind of has a limited shelf life, especially when there's already a bunch of different Spider-titles that all have the more popular Spider-folk. It's like that issue of Exiles with the team that was all Wolverines. Spider-Verse was a good idea (on paper, if not in execution) for a story with a fixed ending - but making an ongoing series? That's not really feasible. I don't disagree with anything you've said. It does have a rather narrow focus, but I still enjoy it. I don't read very many superhero books these days, and that was one of the few I liked. If they rework it into a more general Exiles type book, I'd still enjoy it. I've always been a sucker for multiverse stories since Excalibur's Cross Time Caper from way back when.

Civil War is the first line wide event post SW right? I'd bet Ewing gets a shot at the next one which we'll probably start hearing plans for right around when CW2 is wrapping up.

It definitely was better with Waid. The current run is alright, though admittedly there wasn't much time to do anything before Standoff started.

The handful of issues of SHIELD I read were pretty good, the first one where Fitz asks if Valkrye is the new Thor, then the issue were Simmons goes undercover as one of Kamala's teachers, and then the ones where everyone was being turned into Mindless ones and they hung out with Scarlet Witch.

Much like Web Warriors, I don't think it's the best book Marvel is putting out right now, but it scratches an itch. Plus, seeing Jake Gallows pop up anywhere is always awesome.

I love how Al Ewing answers typical questions in a way that is intriguing, yet humble, while showing off his wonderful grasp of Marvel history and and how he looks at it and uses it: http://marvel.com/news/comics/26075/declaring_civil_war_new_avengers?linkId=23841744

That's almost definitely David Mack's style, and he did all the Alias covers. Only other thing I can think is Black Widow, but that seems a little bit of a stretch and doesn't seem to match up with what Waid and Samnee are doing. EDIT: And glad I said 'almost' because CBR say it's actually Stuart Immonen, which I would not have guessed at ALL. Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Apr 26, 2016 |

Considering Jessica Jones (the TV show) got a Peabody I could definitely see this pushing Marvel to revive Alias. Probably retitle it "Jessica Jones", though.

Al Ewing is on the most recent Jay and Miles, along with G WIllow Wilson, Kris Anka and the guy who draws deadpool. It's pretty fantastic.site posted:The top piece reminds me of the scarlet witch's head gear thing. Cap finally gets a chance with Wanda that isn't a mental illness created illusion.

It was the 75th Anniversary thing, and it was certainly frustrating in that it was clearly setting up Jessica re-opening Alias, and then it went nowhere. (Well, until her guest spot in Hellcat next month, I guess)

It's pretty fantastic. He also apparently helped them whip up the new cold open for the latest episode (about Nextwave - the cold open, not the episode). Although I feel it would be remiss to point out that he talks about how nobody has ever timed their schemes to coincide with a big Hero vs. Hero fight, when Jeremy Briggs did that exact thing in Avengers Academy during Avengers vs. X-Men. Some days it feels like I'm the only person on the planet sad enough to remember that book existed. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Apr 26, 2016 |

That's random. I know he's got a couple of fans, but nobody's really done anything with him for a while. Are they just trying to set up a new cosmic book since Sean Ryan's Nova isn't doing well?

I think they've come out and said it will be a new character because obviously what Marvel needs is more Quasars and obviously a Kree lesbian doesn't have enough political cache.
