X-O posted:I mean yeah, there's some stuff there that makes you go "Oh wait was that... oh" in retrospect. Like Prime and the whole child fantasy part of it really sets of some alarm bells. The child fantasy thing isn't particularly eyebrow-raising: that goes back as far as Captain Marvel, at least, and around the same time as Prime, you had Rage, who actually got kicked out of the Avengers when they learned he was way underage. That said, just outta curiosity I read Prime #1 and literally the very first thing that happens is Prime beating up a gym teacher for molesting one of his students. In theory, people are innocent until proven guilty, but however this shakes out, a smarter and more qualified person than I could probably do a worthwhile reading of Jones's work through this lens.

I'm gonna say something I never thought I'd ever say: The show is better. Like, I love the comic, and there's stuff I miss from there. But holy poo poo is the show good. Great chemistry between the cast, an actual plot, minimal relationship bullshit (at least compared to the rest of the genre). The third season just dropped on Netflix. EDIT: Oh hey, I should have read the next page. Maybe my opinion isn't so out there

I got the Hickman Avengers omni and it seems to be in a proper reading order, though I forget the specifics exactly. Avengers 1-3 New Avengers 1-6 Avengers 4-6 Avengets 7-9 Avengers 10-13 New Avengers 7-12 Avengers 14-17 Infinity 1 Infinity 2-5 Avengers 18-23 Infinity 6 Is how it's listed.

That can't possibly be how it's actually printed can it? That totally messes up Infinity. Edit: This Reddit post suggests this is the order (not including the additional content): Avengers #1-3 New Avengers #1-3 Avengers #4-5 New Avengers #4-6 Avengers #6-13 New Avengers #7 Avengers #14-17 Infinity #1 New Avengers #8 Avengers #18 New Avengers #9 Infinity #2 Avengers #19 New Avengers #10 Infinity #3 Avengers #20 Infinity #4 Avengers #21 New Avengers #11 Infinity #5 Avengers #22-23 Infinity #6 quote:So what's changed? Marvel has settled the issue over if Avengers 1-3 or NA 1-3 should be read first by placing Avengers at the forefront of everything in the omnibus. Although Avengers 44 pretty much settled this debate in my opinion given it's closing lines and that was change I had made back then. A few list thrown around still place NA1-3 in front you can now all laugh at them and tell them how they are wrong. The only real change from my old list is combining Avengers 4-5 and New Avengers 4-6 into their own chunks. I had originally placed each 4th issue next to one another and dividing them from the rest of the series but the ordering here works just fine when reading if not better than my own.

You're right, the previous order is how it's listed on the credits page, but I'm not familiar enough with each issue to know so I'm glad someone else did it for me. It's hard to check since the issues are not marked in the actual omnibus, but I picked a random issue, did the research and can confirm that Infinity #4 leads into Avengers #21, which seems to match up with the official reading order that came out when the book was still running.

omfg quote:March 28 brings the first issue of The Seeds, which will surely be of interest to comics addicts due to the legendary creative lineup. The writer is former Daredevil and Catwoman scribe Ann Nocenti, and the artist is Hawkeye and Immortal Iron Fist veteran David Aja. The story is set in “an imminent America where fact-based reporting is gasping its last breath” and “flora and fauna have begun to mutate.” In that world is a journalist who comes across a massive story that she, for undisclosed reasons, can’t report on. In lieu of that, she pitches “the biggest myth of her career.” “Ann is a brilliant writer,” Berger says. “And David is an artist’s artist. David doesn’t draw that much, but when he does, it’s like the world stops.” this is going to be so incredibly good

And yeah, David Aja - remember that Daredevil story she did with him a few years back? Magic. Lightning Lord posted:Aja will bring the best out of her and we'll get 80s Nocenti Right, yeah, my fingers are crossed for that pure angry empathy and humanism. And too, I think it's extremely cool that Karen Berger is going to EIC her own line of comics. She's a legend.

Honestly, Waid's Archie has overall been disappointing for me after a really strong first issue and some fun moments. At the very least, it hasn't been as fun as Jughead under both Chip and North. So, earlier in the year my employers decided that after I spent months ringing the alarm that things were going poorly, getting salty at me for pushing back against their poor decisions, then decided when their bad decisions actually crumbled to throw me under the bus. I lucked out and literally found a new job immediately, but I'd invested a lot and it was pretty devastating. Anyway my wife was amazing and let me put my severance towards finding an artist and working on a comic project I'd have bouncing around for years. It's really helped keep me consistent and focus myself away from dwelling on stuff. Anyway, I'm putting it online if anyone wants to check it out.

"However, Omega Red soon attacked the building, looking for the carbonadium synthesizer." What the hell is the carbonadium synthesizer? It's mentioned like 4 times on Maverick's wiki page as something Omega Red has been looking for since the 60s. Is it just a macguffin?
