Season One was a weird thing, they weren't explicitly setting up a new continuity, and they weren't really tying into anything going on in the ongoing books. I think the concept behind them was basically to put out something with a contemporary sheen they could sell in bookstore for people who wanted the "origins" of their movie properties. A lot of them were pretty forgettable. The only ones I have positive memories of: X-Men - Dennis Hopeless/Jamie McKelvie: I like McKelvie's art, and it's interesting in the sense that all of the original five X-Men (and Magneto and Xavier) have changed so much since 1963 and it had some fun playing with how these characters presented and saw themselves in the original series versus what we/they know now. Doctor Strange - Greg Pak/Emma Rios: Really nice art, fun little story Hulk - Fred Van Lente/Tom Fowler: Also very good art, and a fleshing out of everything to do with Hulk's early days through the lens of modern interpretations of Bruce Banner. Had an odd but earned Breaking Bad vibe with Bruce/Rick as Walt/Jesse.

Rios is probably the best artist for Strange that's currently working, and it's a shame she's not doing the ongoing.

The current series is good, and you can jump right into it. It's also worth going right back to the start in Strange Tales. The Ditko comics are great.

Yeah, I'm seconding the original strange tales run. The stories really stand up, lots of cosmic weirdness, art is gorgeous, and you get to actually see the character develop in permanent ways that's unusual for superhero stuff. He actually has to earn the cape and the amulet--they weren't part of his character at its conception. The whole sorcerer supreme thing is even a later development. For a long time he's just a very tablets wizard who happens to live in New York where all the action is. Triumph and Torment is one of the Marvel Graphic Novels, and is a Doom/Strange story that's is def worth reading.

I am organizing comics and I'm on my X-men box, and I gotta say, Anka is the only one who draws Illyana as if she's slavic in the modern era. I like Bachalo's art, but as is said a million times, he has one woman's face and one can only tell them apart by haircuts. Also makes me wonder if Rachael Grey has shown up lately. I feel like she wouldn't have been like Emma and followed Scott into a stupid attack on the Inhumans. Though I'd have to say Anka is probably my favorite current Marvel artist.

You should buy the event-specific minis and one-shots,I've read all of them outside of SS and Gods of War (think that's what it's called?) and they've all been really excellent. Especially Choosing Sides, The Accused, and The Fallen.

Meanwhile, in Uncanny Avengers, Cable to about to crank some Inhuman skulls. I'm hoping it's not a coincidence that the children of Scott Summers are about to pick a fight with Inhumans.

How is Hyperion the comic? Premise sounds very like Superman Grounded, but looking at the issue synopses it seems decent.

Could've been more. Better than Grounded (not much isn't, frankly). The super-carny story should've been shorter, and probably would've been if it had been a mini rather than abruptly cancelled. Here's a sample (note the teenager calls herself "Doll"):      I like it, but I really got into Hyperion during Secret Wars.

Thundra is awesome. I recently read the Lady Liberators She-Hulk issues and she's just so much fun in them. She's cool in Hyperion's solo too after she shows up; hopefully she'll start shining a bit more in Squadron Supreme.

Hell yeah. Her and Powerless Princess are great. I'm enjoying Squadron Supreme more than Justice League, although the former has a dozen issues out so far and I'm still giving the latter a chance. As another poster pointed out in another thread (sorry, don't recall who), the body count in the current JL arc is absurd.

I just got to the issue of Alias where JJ reveals her past with Kilgrave and the page-turn for when she finally tells Luke Cage what happened into the splash page might be the best poo poo ever.

Having just finished Alias/the pre-Secret War issues of The Pulse I gotta say Bendis' run on Alias is up there with my favorite runs ever. It's amazing how good it is and how well it ties everything up while still placing JJ in a spot where her integration into the 616 not only makes sense, but feels imperative.

I'm reading through the original Luke Cage comics and it's interesting that "Sweet sister!" is his main exclamation early on. I just finished an issue though where Señor Muerte is defeated and Cage goes "Christmas!" twice in the span of a few moments. Makes it seem like originally it was a very PG way of having him yell "Christ!" maybe. Eagerly awaiting when Englehart finally fuses the two!

Are you being a poo poo or ignoring the fact that she is literally Patricia Walker and played a character called Patsy on a television show? It's literally a plot point she started calling herself Trish instead of Patsy to differ herself from that?

I dunno what series of Hellcat you'd even adapt, though. I guess AKA Hellcat? But it's barely got like, a good half-dozen issues. Also reading Alias makes me realize that they basically find-replaced Patsy Walker in JJ with a weird bad version of Carol Danvers.
