Vision was loving unreal in its quality. Tom King is incredible Al Ewing needs to be writing New Avengers forever (and if you read CWII 1 and wanted more context for what happened in the Celestial fight, read the most recent issue). He's just killing it every issue on NA. After a rocky first issue (with a pretty surprising twist ending that everyone knew how it was going to be resolved), Thunderbolts has really found its footing in its second issue. I'm really digging CWII Spider-Man so far. It addresses a bunch of the hypothetical applications of Ulysses that everyone here was bandying about when he was first introduced, so if you want the more philosophical questions of "man who can predict the future with perfect accuracy" addressed pick that up. Howard the Duck was surprisingly melancholy while still being very effective. Not used to that mode, but it works - and the Lea Thompson reveal is pretty interesting. All in all a pretty great Marvel week.

Wow, Victor Mancha was actually pretty interesting for once.Trast posted:Cyclops turning into a totalitarian rear end in a top hat is a natural evolution of a normal rear end in a top hat given super powers. Wasn't there someone who said "really? Mr Stick up the rear end became a power hungry rear end in a top hat?" in one of the post AvsX issues?

Nothing about Cyclops is power hungry, even with the most uncharitable interpretation.

I don't think they were consistently drawing parallels between him and Magneto for no reason. He went from a superhero team leader to head of an independent nation-state to the field commander of something he persisted in calling the "Extinction Team" within a relatively short time, and kept making bolder and more worrying moves in the pursuit of mutant freedom.

That was on purpose yeah but everything he did was completely sincere towards those goals.

I was wondering how they'd end up writing out the Black Vortex power up but 'it wears off after a while' is basically the most boring way to do it, especially after you've just time-skipped forward.

Doesn't Angel still have his? Also, wasn't the person originally powered by the thing affected for several millenia?

Angela's first solo run was fine it when was dealing with the Heven stuff, but the Secret Wars and recent ones I dropped quick because I didn't care for them. I think I've liked the character most in Guardians so I'm glad she's back there.

Did Vision mix the two or something?

Oh speaking of "how things work in the marvel universe" I recently read that movie Iron Man's repulsors are compressed air, but in the comics, they seem to be more beams. I'm sure this fits somewhere around "How Cyclops's eyes work" in explanations.

Toxxupation posted:Vision was loving unreal in its quality. Tom King is incredible I really liked the Spider-man tie in because, like you say it does nicely answer questions about Uyleses. Like if he's telling you "big space monsters are going to eat New York" that's a fine tip off to work on. When he's saying "this super villain that you have given a second chance to is going to betray you" it becomes very dicey. Now I suspect Spidey is going to be paranoid of the guy and his mistrust will make it a self fulfilling prophecy. As for Thunderbolts I was really turned off by this issue. Like I am a huge fan of the OG Thunderbolts. I thought that I would love this series. But this issue was nothing more than the Bolt's straight up graphically murdering Inhumans while cracking jokes. It was like some issue out of the Extreme 90's. It was such a bizarre direction to take the story.

Where the narration boxes always red in Vision? I've got a weird theory that we've had a narrator change since the reveal of the original, which would cast doubt on the current foreshadowing.

Pretty much everything Iron Man related back when the comic started was "transistors." Transistor this and transistor that. Transistor rollerskates which also charge up his batteries.
