Inhumans are exploring the part of being a minority where you find yourself part of something with a history and social structure you didn't know about. When Morrison tried setting that up for the X-Men monumental levels of bitching occurred everywhere but here.

Pardon the newcomer question, but I'm reading again for the first time in many years: Why do some books use the mixed-case of the old Ultimate books and others don't? It's odd as heck.

It's odd as heck. In the case of Al Ewing's New Avengers, the mixed-case font is literally meant to indicate some kind of "Ultimate accent," as the Maker is from that universe.

It's odd as heck. Post-SW 2015 it seems like it's basically up to whatever the letterer feels is best for what case they use, whether that be mixed-case or not. Usually it's still all-caps, but it seems the younger skewing, more humorous, or breezier titles will use mixed-case. The only exception is, as aforementioned, New Avengers, where the difference in font usage is meant to underline that the Maker is not from the current universe.

In the store yesterday I noticed that the 2nd printing of Steve Rogers #1 has a slight change to the cover art. It's the same picture but they added a "Hail Hydra" word bubble to it.

Well, uh. CWII #4 certainly was a comic. Weird that the Guardians came in on the side of Carol, given the promo art. Was it just a bait and switch? They don't really seem like the team to jump aboard the Thoughtcrimes Train.

Thankfully didn't have to buy it! I work at a game store, and there's usually some quid pro quo. In this case, it means I give them a discount on Love Letter, and when I went in to buy Saga Vol 6, I got to read it.

If Civil War 2 is an exercise in Bendis ruining everything he's ever worked on then he's doing a fantastic job. Seriously Carol what the gently caress are you doing?

I thought CWII 4 was the best of the run...right up until the last couple of panels.

So people were talking about Shazam and Captain Marvel in the BSS Movie thread, and it reminded me. What's the status on MiracleMan? I only found an article back in March that said it was delayed, but couldn't find any more info. I'm starting to feel like this is S.H.I.E.L.D. all over again.

I am not buying that Kamala would let things go as far as they've gone in her books. Her supporting this incredibly sketchy setup with a homemade prison does not feel believable in the slightest. I completely get why people don't like events now.

So basically the only way this works out in Carol's favor is Ulysses being infallible and dead by the end.

I'm curious as to what's stopping them from going "Hey so our guy here had a vision where you do this bad thing at X place at Y time. We'd like to discuss why you would do this and to play it safe we're going to ask you to take a vacation or leave the state until Y time happens, thus preventing the vision from occurring. Also don't do try doing that." So there you go. You can be proactive on poo poo like Thanos (which Carol was right to act upon but she should have called EVERYONE) but stop dumb poo poo like the teenage gestapo we have on Ms Marvel.

SirDan3k posted:How does that end in the required punch em up? One of the visions show them all fighting but not why so they get in an argument over what they could be fighting about, leading to a fight about why would they fight about a vision of them fighting. Then it turns out it wasn't a real vision and it was just Ulysses pulling a prank for YouTube.

But Bruno was incredibly impatient.

The paint will eventually be scratched and Angel will replace it with organic self-regenerating, possibly-sentient micro-blade paint that can expel technoviruses at opposing vehicles or pedestrians.

Hey, who's the Transformers-looking bloke/she-bloke in that widescreen panel with all the Team Tony folks? Looks like a real cool design. I don't think this issue was as bad as the second or third issues, but this may possibly contain the worst characterization of Carol Danvers that's ever existed, so that's saying something.

I believe you're referring to Riri Williams. Also good to see that Kitty Pryde continuing the running joke of having the worst costumes ever conceived of in that panel of the Guardians.

It might be an interesting twist if Ulysses had a vision which revealed that Carol was going to be the cause of some nebulous catastrophe and she had to pre-arrest herself.
