Wait, we are talking about actual sharks, right? The animal? You capitalized it so I have to assume you're talking about San Jose Sharks. The hockey players.

Because hockey players are pretty sweaty and gross and their games go into overtime so I'd have to disagree with you on both counts.

Honestly, who gives a poo poo anymore? DC is killing it with fun issues coming out constantly and Marvel for me only has Punisher. I like their characters, but their terrible business practices and boring stuff for the past few years needs to stop. Zdarsky I heard is doing great now, but I'm not a Spider man fan.

DC only has New Superman and Superman for me, nothing else really was able to keep me interested. Marvel isn't what it was back 3-5 years ago, but it still has a dozen books I read and enjoy a lot.

I'm glad to hear that Jason Aaron is going to keep writing Thor, but :lol: at yet another title that only recently moved to legacy numbering getting renumbered again.

Thor carrying around a magical inventory full of different types of maces and hammers sounds cool, though.

It's pretty blatant the Legacy numbering was only done to get titles to a benchmark number to charge extra for that issue.

Benchmark numbers get a sales bump (from whom? Idiots that think the issue will be worth something?), #1s get a sales bump. Repeat until the end of time. I don't mind at all when they start a new run/story at #1, but the legacy numbering drives me nuts when a run goes from 14, 15, 16, 596, 597. Well, okay, maybe "mildly irritates me" would be better. Some people totally freak out about renumbering and I like that, reminds me that I'm comparatively normal.

Also I think I'm the only person here who dislikes Del Mundo's art. I don't like what he does with light. Everything in the universe is laminated. Hurts my fuckin' eyes.

I like Del Mundo - on specific titles. He was awesome on Weirdworld because his style fit the tone of the book. I couldn't stand him on Avengers because that ethereal dreamy quality his work has, really doesn't fit what's, ostensibly, Marvel's flagship superhero group. I'd love to see him on Moon Knight, not so much on Thor.

Yeah, I agree with Del Mundo being good on certain things, and I think the right kind of Thor stories would be great for his work. Check the early cosmic Thor stories and I think Del Mundo would be fantastic for those.

It's not Robbie Reyes. It's Frank Castle from the recent issues of Thanos.


quote:

Thursday Marvel Comics revealed to Direct Market retailers that the recently introduced Cosmic Ghost Rider will star in his own limited series this summer written by his creator Donny Cates - no artist has been named.. Here's a first look at a new teaser image introducing the series from Marvel that Newsarama readers get to see first.

An alt-future Frank Castle, his transition into Cosmic Ghost Rider is being revealed in this week's Thanos #16.

Originally introduced in Cates and Geoff Shaw's debut on Thanos back in November's #13, Cosmic Ghost Rider has proven to be one of the most popular new characters (or new variations on an older character, rather) in recent months.

Why? Robbie's original series was nothing special and his follow up was garbage. Agents of Shield did more for the character than Marvel Comics ever could. This new versions at least resonated with fans.
