So Bendis continues to write Hawkeye as an assassin even though he was one of the Avengers who more disliked the idea killing?

Yeah, Bendis always goes "I DON'T GIVE A gently caress!" and writes whatever he wants because he's totally trying to gently caress over other writers! Considering this was an event where it was planned out and discussed what was going to happen with other writers and editors, and Bendis actually had an idea shot down, this dumb poo poo needs to stop. If you don't like what happens in an event, blame the editors for allowing it. You can blame the writers for how it's written, but no one writer is just doing stuff because they don't give a gently caress.

Rhyno posted:No, it's the editor's. The editing for CWII has felt particularly bad. I remember before it came out, Bendis was saying CWII won't be Minority Report and there will be good reason to back either side, and in the main series Marvel has only talked about using Ulysses to prepare for world ending threats. But then in every tie in, she's going full Minority Report, arresting people for precrime even while everyone keeps telling her Ulysses' visions aren't objective, perfect looks into the future.

To be fair if there's any one writer who has the pull at Marvel to override another writer's wishes it'd be Bendis. But you're all ignoring that being the architect of the event he would be the one dictating the story's flow, and not Pak, and if Pak was really actually upset or overruled he wouldn't have written multiple TAH tie-in issues including both a road to and Civil War II tie-in issue. I mean come on, it's Totally Awesome Hulk, it could've gotten away with not being a CWII tie-in because it's very clearly a second-string book. Pak has written absolutely excellent CWII tie-ins so far and it's not like there's a dearth of CWII tie-ins (and at worse if Pak threw some kind of fit about it they'd have done a CWII Hulk one-shot to address the immediate ramifications of this issue if Pak refused to do it). There's a whole bunch of options here to keep both writers happy and I really doubt Pak is dissatisfied or his story is directly at odds with Bendis' since so far he's arguably done the best job of tying in his ongoing with the event, depending on how you feel Soule did it on Uncanny Inhumans.

Actually ironically Pak's feels most of a piece with the event itself so far of all the ongoings that have tie-ins, and considering I've read nearly all of them there's no real ongoings that have tie-ins that feel wildly inconsistent, and certainly nowhere near to the level of CWI. Also in general the CWII tie-ins have been pretty good so far across all ongoings except for, ironically, invincible Iron Man's road to civil war issues (which just feel really superfluous if giving decent context to Tony's motivations going into the event)

It was okay. I've been pretty happy to ignore the event otherwise since it features a bunch of characters I don't care about. Ironically I'm looking forward to the Daredevil tie-in with Age of Apocalypse because it amuses me how his interaction with the X-Men is always so limited and yet he keeps getting eaten by their shenanigans. I kind of hope that Marvel never changes that.

Daredevil #9 was loving awesome. I love team ups and Soule made Spidey just as annoying and he was bad rear end. Fill in artist was really great too, some really cool and different layouts. I'm hoping the last 2 issues are indicitive of the rest of Soules run.

Not ALL of the Now 2.0 previews leaked, apparently. There's a few covers/promo pieces in the final catalogue that weren't in the leaks I saw. Kingpin and Bullseye are explicitly being tied to Daredevil as a 'family' of titles (ironically, the only member of the usual suspects on the big splash promo was Elektra, who's nowhere to be found). Hawkeye looks pretty drat great as well. And they're seemingly pushing either Bendis' run on GotG ending, or the book itself being relaunched in the new year, presumably to coincide with the new movie.

I think CW2 will read a lot better in trade/collection that it is now. Issue 3 was actually quite good, it's just the weird timing of tie-in issues coming out out of order and issues 1 and 2 not really defining the sides well enough.

It says that, while Banner hasn't been The Hulk in a while, he's been experimenting on himself with gamma cells, which has never been good news ever. Hawkeye made a judgement call based on the available evidence, which is supposed to be an indictment of Carol because her way made it so he went in thinking the worst was gonna happen, but really, in this specific case, in this specific context, it's way more of a "Clint is terrible at decisions" thing.

Is Daredevil good ? Because I stopped reading when Waid was taken off the book/ stopped writing it. Just read Civil War #3 and I liked it. I'm pretty sure that the Inhuman's ability is just some weird self fulfilling prophecy type thing.

Oh Killstrike was kind of on the nose for my taste, but Worst X-Man Ever was fun. Wasp: Jeremy Whitley has a creator-owned book called Princeless which has won some Eisners and other awards, and is the regular writer of IDW's My Little Pony comics, which I have not read. Kingpin: Matthew Rosenberg wrote the Ghostface comic 12 Reasons to Die, and a couple of indie crime books (We Can Never Go Home, 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank) that have been well received. Bullseye: Ed Brisson has also written a number of crime books (Comeback being perhaps the best known one) and has done some fill-in work at both Marvel and DC in the past few years. Prowler: Sean Ryan has written various stuff over the past few years, most prominently the last year or so of Nova. Slapstick: Reilly Brown has been drawing books for Marvel for like ten years now, including decent chunks of Cable & Deadpool and Incredible Herc, and some of the recent Deadpool stuff (mostly the Digital mini-series for some reason). Feel free to give a poo poo or not about any of these no-names.

All this because some old robo-racist ghost decided marriage was between a man and a woman not a toaster and a toaster. The Vision book is embarrassing the entire Civil War II crossover, here I am yawning at the deaths of the Hulk and Rohdey but misting up over a character that's been around less then a year and both lynch-pinned on somebody predicting the future and starting down a bad path.

But the original 616 Cyclops fathered Cable, and X-Man and Stryfe are alternate universe Cables. Baby Cyclops was also never married to Madelyne Pryor. You've got me on Rachel, though.

The Vision was great (albeit so very cruel). Gwenpool was great, and it'll be hilarious if this is the start of some kind of Batroc renaissance. New Avengers wasn't too shabby either, ah love me some Guthrieisms. X-Men was kinda soul destroying, poor Evan. Poor En Sabah. Just doomed sweet kids all down the line.

Every line of that book was vetted and approved by multiple levels of Marvel editorial, and every event in it was workshopped months and months ago at a writers retreat. Bendis doesn't just randomly do poo poo unilaterally as a surprise because he doesn't care.
