I mean it's FINE, and a capital-I Important work, but the series is way too long, suffers entirely from adopting only one arc of the comic, making Jessica Jones an explicit rape victim just makes her a weaker character overall for absolutely no gain over how Bendis approached it, it has the worst line of dialog I've ever seen in a television show, the third act is really bad and predicated on one character lacking basic common sense so Kilgrave can escape again, and the supporting cast is varying flavors of unmemorable besides Trinity who again, gets deep character assassination so act three can happen and also her black neighbor.

Like Alias is one of the best comics made in this century. JJ the tv show is a perfectly competent FX style tv show with a Deeper Message, that has serious, serious structural and executional problems

Inhumans: Judgment day was a really good epilogue to the kind of mixed bag that Ewing's Royals was. Packs some extra emotional punch if you've been following Black Bolt's solo as well.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

There wasnt anything about the impetus for the flight itself, just a flashback to ben, reed and victor in college in 1998 which uhhh is not cold war era

Btdubbs the infinity war movie prelude might be worth a look, shuri is the one handling bucky so there might be a fun friendship there later???

Calling the annual renumbering/relaunch #1 craze a series of "reboots" is something of an abuse of the term. It's sure hard to follow, but it's not a New 52-style "reboot."

Sometimes the renumbering even happened in the middle of a story arc, and it simply continued on in the new #1 like nothing happened. No wonder the gimmick lost it's power over the last 5 years.

the rest of the page is thanos saying he doesn't know the name and walking off, with Frank saying "figures"

The preview for next issue says it's gonna explain how king thanos finally killed all the avengers and how Frank became the way he was so that should be fun

Eh. Without any context, just from reading those panels, it kinda comes across bad to me as well. What's the point of having Frank Castle as the spirit of vengeance if he's not actually recognizable as Frank Castle? What's the draw of turning Frank into some quippy weirdo who went craaaazy in the future because whatever? It'd be one thing if you read that page and was like oooh, it all makes sense now, of course this is Frank. But here it feels like namedropping the guy just for the sake of having a twist.
