We don't know that this isn't her ultimate goal. For all we know, she's prepping a buyer for toon Wolverine.

Ragnarok Valkyrie barely gets anything more than "drunk, traumatized, has honor" as far as characterization.

I read avengers 280 and exiles back to back and Hercules in avengers could've been interchangeable with her Marvel rising was good enough to keep my interest and Thanos annual was fun And for Thor on one hand it's nice that Jane is alive on a feels good level, but I also have to admit feeling a bit cheated on a narrative level cuz we SPENT SO MUCH TIME BUILDING TO JANE DYING and like it doesn't even last the issue wth site fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Apr 26, 2018 |

I think it should be subtitled "Fun Short Stories of Thanos Being the Biggest rear end in a top hat Possible" as that's pretty much exactly what it is. As far as I'm concerned "Thanos Helps An Old Lady Cross The Street" is now part of the Infinity Gauntlet official canon.

While Jane is at the gate to Valhalla saying she's not ready to die, Thor and Odin use their combined strength to channel the storm that was previously trapped in the hammer to shock her back to life, like doctors using those electric paddle things

Well, finished Infinity. That was awesome. Makes me want to go through all of the Hickmna era Avengers stuff. I've been holding off on reading post-Secret Wars stuff until I was satisfied wrapping up pre-Secret Wars and I thought all I had left was Daredevil but maybe not. But yeah, Infinity. The series started off with Jim Cheung, who I usually like, but after a steady diet of Deodato, Leinil Francis Yu, and Jerome Opeña (whose work I had never seen before), it was kind of disappointing when Cheung came back to finish the series. His work seemed a lot simpler and cartoony by that point.

I really didn't care for Marvel Rising #0. The story and character's where a bit too generic for my tastes. That said, it was free, and the next issue will be written by North and Wilson, so I don't have much to complain about. I was also disappointed by Exiles #2. It suffers from the same weakness a lot of team books have, where the characters don't have enough room to showcase more than one note, and unfortunately those notes are pretty blah so far. I'm also not sure why they would hype up basing Valkyrie off of Tessa Thompson, and then giving her a generic "jovial asgardian" personality. Hopefully the characters will come more into their own now that the team is together, so I'll give it one more issue at least.

This was me getting whiplash when it jumped from Yu's awesome design on K'Lrt (and the rest of the Space Council) taking down Black Dwarf to Cheung's goofy cartoon Skrull face when showing the same scene an issue later. I love Jim Cheung's work for the most part (I think he draws my favorite version of The Thing), but man oh man was that a weird transition.

The comparison was all the more striking with the next panel, which was a recap of the killing blow to Black Dwarf that kept Black Dwarf's shattered head out of view. I'm not one to say that violence and gore are intrinsically better or more mature but when the art already seemed cartoonier that choice not to show the impact made it seem like even lighter fare. Which, again, is not necessarily worse but the difference is striking.

Every issue that comes out I feel more and more like Russell Dauterman just might be my favorite artist working today. His art on Mighty Thor has been consistently amazing. The first time I'd ever heard of him was a few years back on Rucka's Cyclops series, but his Thor stuff is just out of this world. I'd kill to get him on a cosmic book where he could go even more crazy with it.

I know comic books are collaborative and planned out and everything, but Invincible Iron Man finally got interesting and it's going to suck if Bendis goes away and in the end it all boils down to just Tony Stark and his Evil Secret Dad go Frankenstein on Rhodey

Credit has to go to Matthew Wilson as well. His colours on this book are just lovely. The panel of Valhalla awaiting Jane from the final issue positively leaps off the page with its colouring.

Invincible Iron Man started really well then meandered in the weeds for a long time with its "search for Tony Stark" arc. Riri increasingly began to feel like she was entirely peripheral to her own book.

Riri increasingly began to feel like she was entirely peripheral to her own book. Riri has so much potential as a character but she really felt forcibly shoe-horned into the Iron Man mythos. I really wish Bendis had spent more time actually working on her personality and character before BOOM she's the new Iron Man. I hope they pull something together for her in the future because "super genius 16 year old who reverse engineers the most advanced weapon on the planet on a dare" is too good to toss aside.

Riri increasingly began to feel like she was entirely peripheral to her own book. This so much. As much as I'm completely over "teen/kid supergeniuses" I really like Riri. But for at least half this series, it just felt like she was keeping the seat warm for Tony. Really compares unfavorably with Jane Foster as Thor. For both those series, we KNEW the original character was going to step back into the role eventually- Thor because Jason never made a secret that Jane was going to die, and Tony because of standard Comic Status Quo Snapback- but Riri felt like a placeholder in a way Jane never really did, for at least since Iron Man dropped back to one title. Maybe Bendis didn't have the room to include "what's going on with Riri", "what's going on with Doom", and "what's going on with Tony" in one book, fair enough, but he really did a disservice to his own character by making the book mostly about Tony for like half a year before bringing him "back". e: I do wonder how much was editorial and how much was Bendis wanting to wrap up his story in a certain way before leaving, but I could really have gone for another year of Tony existing as an AI, and Riri and Doom both trying to fill his shoes in different ways. Such a cool direction to take the book, in my opinion, and it's disappointing they felt it had such a short shelf life. Did sales tank or what?

Yeah, Riri was a teen genius character written well and not as a "spunky hacker" stereotype, she was standoffish and socially clueless, which girl versions of the teen genius archetype especially don't usually get to be. Then the book just sort of stopped being about her. It's a real shame.
