The Priest/Sears one? No, not really. Priest has gone on record about how much he didn't like what Sears did with that and blamed his art on the series never going anywhere.

instead I think it's just funny that any time someone mentions nick spencer you swoop in with a hot take ready to go

What's the point in anything? Why point out the "hot take" of bringing up a writer's tics when discussing a writer's book? Why would anyone possibly be discussing a Marvel Comics Crossover Event in a Marvel Comics thread?

better to meta-post about how posters are dumb

I enjoy Ant-Man and Sam Wilson Captain America, for what it's worth. But I imagine that Spencer is something like Whedon to a smaller scale. You're either going to like his style of humor, or won't. People have different tastes in what comedy is (some people like Larry the Cable Guy).

God yes gently caress that series so much. I really liked the first 3 trades and then it just goes loving nowhere, sadly I'm the type that likes to finish things so.... gently caress me.

I've only read some Spencer, mostly his funnier Marvel stuff, which I enjoy, but thanks everyone for the heads up on Morning Glories. I've read the first two trades and decided to read some other stuff in the meantime becuase it seemed to spin its wheels between big reveals in a way that made me really skeptical. Now that I've heard other canaries go quiet deeper in the coal mine, I'll stay out.

I hope I never read too much Spencer and get sick of his voice.

That's usually like the very first thing recommended when someone asks about the Inhumans. Yeah it's good. And I'm not even really a fan of Jae Lee's art.

They've been good since Infinity under Charles Soule, IMO. Uncanny Inhumans has been based in Black Bolt's nightclub for the last several months. It's great.

We weren't but I've never seen it come up as a good book ever. Anywhere. It was a nice surprise

Yeah his faces look weird at times, but it is my only complaint. Real interesting book diving deep into the Inhumans.

I like the look into how messed up the Inhuman societal structure and how incompatible with human society it is. Maximus was amazing too.

the 2000 Inhumans mini seems good so far. The art is gorgeous.

the Kirby concepts need more love by the comic public at large. It is a shame that Inhumans and Eternals never sustain a book.

The sales numbers on them as far as we can tell aren't that bad. Uncanny is solid, All-New is on the lower end but not cancellation territory yet.

Plus cancelling Uncanny and All-New would basically mean Marvel would have to stop doing any major Inhumans things in the Marvel world on account of there being no Inhumans books to tie the Inhumans goingons together.

That said though I'm not a fan of either series so if they went away and maybe lead to other Inhumans books launching instead or if Marvel changed creative teams on them I wouldn't mind.

Paul Jenkins' and Jae Lee's Sentry mini was also good, regardless of whether or not you like the concept. That whole Marvel Knights era doesn't get talked about much after the Ultimate era took over, but there was some drat good mini series by people like Jenkins and Morrison.

The Sentry was Bendised pretty hard. First he was a mentally broken wreck because of one of his villains hiring Mastermind, then he was actually a drug addicted abusive husband all along who mainlined some super serum.
