I dunno if this has been guessed at to death already, but does anyone wanna bet that everything in this series after the party, or meeting the Inhumans ends up being a vision, and he solves it himself by walking away? That'd be an easy way to have as many deaths as you want with no consequence. e: And wasting everyone's time taking back whatever happens for months in the series' tying-in would just be hilarious.

I like that idea and hope it's true. And it's not wasting anyone's time any more than say Infinity Gauntlet wasted anyone's time since everything there was reversed and only a couple people ever remembered it. Or even more recently Secret Wars which was reversed as well.

Bleeding Cool predicts an upcoming reboot with almost zero evidence. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/06/01/everything-you-knew-about-the-marvel-universe-was-wrong/ Seriously, that promo could literally mean just about anything.

Brocktoon posted:Bleeding Cool predicts an upcoming reboot with almost zero evidence. That's just the new Fall books almost certainly. Like when a year or so after the original Marvel Now you had All-New Marvel Now with books like Ghost Rider, Invaders, X-Factor, Loki and Ms Marvel pop up as a second wave of books. And then a year after that you had books like All New Captain America, Silk, Ant-Man, and Thor. Marvel does a line refresh every year without rebooting.

I think the shattered NOW in a Marvel NOW suggests that new comics will be launched based on divisions in the fallout of Civil War, like Tony's Avengers #1 and Carol's Avengers #1.

(Current event here) is going to lead to a reboot because it makes the Marvel universe too complicated.

I think I'd have enjoyed the latest All New Wolverine more if not for the whole "Logan up to his waist in stomach acid" thing. It means that squad of SHIELD agents they were looking for "disappeared" because they got slowly digested by Fin Fang Foom. Yikes.

It would also be funny if Bendis did the whole "make it so that the event is reset and never happened" thing because that's what he did in Age of Ultron.

Hasn't Bendis pulled the "And in the end, time got reset so nothing actually mattered" ending like three or four times by now? That either means it's really likely in this case...or really unlikely. Honestly, I thought CW-2-1 was fine until the second half where the plot started happening. The actual moral dilemma was set up fine, but then it didn't have anything to do at all with why everything went FUBAR, which was itself super forced and irritating.

There's actually a really kickin song playing on Peter's in-suit stereo (powered by WebTech), so he's throwing up the horns as he headbangs. He doesn't even know this is a big superhero fight, he thought it was like the Avengers annual softball meet.

In less depressing Civil War news, Contest of Champions is the best book you're not reading. In more depressing news, it's getting cancelled. I blame all of you.

Can't recall where I'm remembering this from, but sometimes sometimes he does that pose, and "throws" the web. I think a lot of people do a similar motion when they imitate Spider-Man. EDIT: When did A Force get good. The first two issues were a snooze.

I've liked A-Force since it started but most people didn't like the first arc since it took so long to assemble the team - and, to be fair, they're not wrong. That being said, I still think the character work is really great and the first arc is only four issues long anyways.

It's a crime that Contest of Champions is ending. There should be more Al Ewing books not less. Also I didn't know anyone actually still read A-Force. The Secret Wars tie-in was not good and neither were the first several issues of ongoing. It was an easy decision to drop that book. Give Al Ewing a New Warriors book. Do it Marvel.

I'm actually wondering, now that I think about it, if they're planning to 'cancel' Contest of Champions, and then relaunch it with a #1 for Marvel NOW! The dates would sort of line up. Avengers Arena got a sequel, dammit, so should this! Actually speaking of Avengers Arena, I kind of wonder if they might actually revisit it (or were planning to), since it seems to be a recurring theme that shows up in the letters pages for Contest of Champions. I'd actually genuinely be looking forward to Ewing's take on that. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Jun 2, 2016 |

All I'm saying is that Al Ewing needs to be writing a book with Night Thrasher in it. Whether it be Ultimates, New Avengers, or a revamped New Warriors.

It was always good, got off to a bit of a rougher start post-SW, last couple issues have been really good though, new artist and new post-setup arc have really made the book go from "good" to "everyone pull this book now".

Al Ewing needs to be back on Loki, firstly. Also we need a Loki solo book again. From now until the end of linear time.

My favourite thing in CWII1 is it just hard cutting into the aftermath. Now I don't think I want to read the FCBD issue to see it actually happening.

That's ironic, given that Rich actually quite sensibly and correctly insisted that the Secret Wars reboot talk was untrue, even when more normally-credible people like Graeme McMillen were misreporting the initial Battleworld announcement as confirmation of such

Glad to see that other people were reading Contest of Champions, I Didnt think there were any. It's been really fun, the issue today feels like the start of a five issue arc and now the next issue is the end. I'm not sure if there will be time to wrap things up at all even with a double issue. I'm sure Maestro will show up in other books as marvel has spent a lot of time in a lot of books building him up and bring him into present 616 continuity. But I want to see more Punisher 2099 and Night Thrasher!

X-O posted:There's one coming, from the same writer of Gwenpool. I know, but from everything Gillen and Ewing have said it's more political satire than Loki, God of Stories and conflicted maybe-hero. Which is great, because Gwenpool overcame a rocky first issue to be genuinely really good and I'm excited for Vote Loki, but I really really want Loki's story with Verity Willis to continue in some form.

So basically like Next with Nicholas Cage where half the movie is him seeing the future failure and then it cuts back and he's like "Yeah, K. Let's do this instead." What I'm saying is cast Nicholas Cage or put him in the comic.
