Air is lava! posted:No, it's even better. He convinced himself, that it was a false flag operation to prove that female oriented comics are always awful. In other words Marvel produced an awful book, just to point at it whenever someone demands something more progressive. What are you talking about? Dan Slott has nothing to do with this at all. It was SirDan3k the poster in this very thread.

I'm sorry for shortening the name of SirDan3K and causing this confusion. It shall not happen again and apologies for Dan Slott blocking us all on twitter after his 10th vanity search of his own name today. Assuming anyone here isn't blocked already for having opinions of Spiderman on Twitter.

I don't get why Squirrel Girl causes so much drama with people. Like, I don't find it funny, and think the art is hideous looking, but it's really inoffensive to me.

I really liked his writing at first but now I'm sick of him. I'm waiting for someone else to take over before I buy another Spider-Man comic. Unless he miraculously does something that draws me back in, which I doubt but I'm not entirely ruling it out.

The current Amazing Spider-Man comics have all been really mediocre to me. The best thing I can say about it is that it ironically reminds me of Len Wein's run on Blue Beetle.

BrianWilly posted:Beast has barely done anything in Uncanny Inhumans. I'm struggling to recall if he's appeared in the last five issues at all. Not that I recall. He talked a bit to the team in issue 1 and occasionally tags along for team-leaping-to-action shots, but he hasnt had any involvement in the plot. I would not be surprised if he was included out of some kind of show of "Inhumans are not replacing mutants, look at them being chill with Beast!", and then Soule just didn't have any plotlines planned for him.

Kang the Conqueror and Ahura Boltagon (long story) are going around in the past killing Inhumans' ancestors so in the middle of a conference, Gorgon just disappears from existence, and Beast is the only one who notices, explicitly because time travel related shenanigans are like just another day at the office when you're an X-Man (and especially for Beast, current master dumbass of loving with time). Then he deploys a little force bubble device to keep everyone in the room from being Marty McFly'd, because again, he's hosed with time enough to actually plan for countermeasures in case someone decided to kill him in the past.

He has doctorates in Time-Fuckery AND Chrono-Fuckery. I love how the X-Men held an intervention to tell him to back off on the super science, and they don't even know about the poo poo he got up to with the Illuminati.

Largely because this is the internet, and one group is insistent that the art is bad and you shouldn't read it, and the other side is insistent that the art is actually great and you should read it, with neither side willing to just let the other read/not read the comic.

The art is kind of bad, but you should read it, it's very entertaining! I mean, you don't have to, "should" is a figure of speech in this case. But, it's cool and good. Can't categorize me!  (I tried a somewhat similar tack with the Xbox One and see what it got me.)

That pretty much sums it up. Heck even just commenting "I (don't) like it" or "I think the art is (good/bad)" and moving on to another topic will get the one side defending their stance with fanatical zeal even after the topic changed.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:It's weird, becasue I love those two! Not a huge fan of Squirrel Girl's art. I am not saying that they are bad, but they both have a very stylistic art style. Compared to how different some of the main stream Marvel artists are, the art in Squirrelgirl just doesn't seem very controversial.

Yeah me too. It's a great book but issue 3 I had the impression that it was an unrelated filler issue after they had been upgraded to ongoing. Or maybe it was just supposed to be 5 issues that low key work in any order rather than a WHAT A TWIST.

I love Jason Aaron's dedication to using Oubilette. Grant Morrison's Marvel Boy ending with her shooting up Disney World is even funnier with Disney owning Marvel. Right up there with Howard the Duck wearing pants still.

Also Gerry frickin' Conway is going to be writing a Spider-Man story which is a follow up to Renew Your Vows, so there's finally a viable alternative for people who want their Peter Parker fix (other than Spidey).

Current favourite Silver Age Marvel nugget - when he had solo adventures in his hometown in suburban New York, the Human Torch had a secret identity, even though he was a major celebrity as a member of the Fantastic Four, so Stan handwaved it by having Sue explain to him that he kept acting like he had a secret identity so everyone in town decided to humour him. I also enjoy that one early FF issue where Reed loses all their money on the stock market and they have to make it back by starring in a movie about themselves financed and produced by Namor, who used sunken treasure to buy a Hollywood studio.

I was a bit surprised by the revelation in that issue of Ms. Marvel that Zoe is gay, and majorly crushing on Nakia. I've been really enjoying how tactful the writing has been so far, and trust that it will be handled really well.

It was definitely handled a lot better than when Spider-Man 2099 had a lesbian reveal that was more or less her shouting it at everyone loudly and obnoxiously as if anything less would be too subtle for the reader. Even with all my hang ups for the premise of the last Ms. Marvel, I still greatly enjoyed the book's writing.
