The Question IRL posted:Well with a phrase like that I kind of have to know what it's about. What happens in it? Gerry Duggan Deadpool run finale spoilers: Deadpool wants to turn himself in via climactic fight against the Avengers and buys some black market thing from space that's supposed to give him the edge. He expects it to be lasers or super strength, but instead it just makes him incredibly toxic to the point that everyone nearby is forced to vomit in his presence. We get sight gags like a police dog puking, eating the puke, repeat or the horror of vomiting Giant Man. Later, Deadpool is pursued by Cap and Agent Preston in a car chase. Deadpool goes to Butler's old hideout and injects himself with all of his memory-scrambling medication. He's found comatose and we see inside his head as he destroys various moments from throughout the Duggan run, including his wedding and his memories of Ellie. He ends up finding himself in Hell, being attacked by the good people he killed or got killed. He's pulled out by an angelic woman (his mother?) who tells him to love himself. Deadpool is judged as being too mentally incapable to be tried for Coulson's murdered and is thrown in a mental institution. He remains in a coma until a new inmate insists on being Deadpool. Deadpool wakes up, says the last thing he remembers is the Daniel Way run and escapes. A stinger shows 2099, where Wade is happy teaming up with Preston and his two daughters. Teenage Fansub posted:Donny Cates' Venom was pretty interesting. I liked how they finally called out the fact that the symbiote should probably have its own name.

Being a reader of just Spider-Man as a kid, then not really touching current comics for over ten years until the last Secret Wars, I finally read volumes 1 and 2 of Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D. series, and... I don't mean to low-effort post, but... what? Holy poo poo.

Also, holy poo poo I can't believe that kind of cliff-hanger lasted for seven years. I wasn't really looking for any feedback. Also, reading it interspersed with Hickman's first FF issues made it even better. I've finished reading the giant reading-list for modern cosmic Marvel that includes Annihilation in '04 though The Annihilators in '11, and Hickman's work seemed like a good place to start since it hits Infinity and continues through to Secret Wars. And, since I finally know the differences between things like Beyonders, and Celestials, and Elders, I'll have a much better understanding of what's going on.

Covok posted:I think it was just temporary. Like "I can find him easy, let me find out what's going on first, then come back with a game plan so I don't accidentally give the mob boss/mayor something bad. Easier to get back from Boomerang, than Fisk." I get the logic, especially since Boomerang isn't like Carnage or the Goblin. Letting him run loose for a day will, at worst, result in a gas station getting held up. Much lower risk when Wilson Fisk recently almost blew up the city because his insurance plan for being found out was a statue made out of a substance that explodes worse than nuclear fission. So God knows what he could be trying to steal from Captain Boomerang. Boomerang is a murderer who killed Jackpot's husband in front of her and her daughter. And Spider-Man's whole origin is that letting a robber go ended up with the robber killing his uncle. Why would he let him go? Rhyno posted:When did Marvel take Thor from his "Warrior Born" personality and turn him into the Norse Party Boy? Reading back through old Thor comics there isn't really a lot of him getting drunk as poo poo as Aaron writes him. Is there a specific point where that changed? I don't even recall it being a thing in the JMS run. Matt Fraction's loving terrible run where he decided to give Thor the same personality as the Thor he wrote in his Ages of Thunder books and reduced him to a raging, drunken idiot. Then the first Thor movie came out and basically cemented Thor as being a dumbass in the the eyes of most writers. Unlucky7 posted:I thought that it was always canon that Thor was an arrogant prick until Odin had enough and cast him out into the Donald Blake identity. Originally in Thor #159 Thor was cast out so he could learn weakness and feel pain as a mortal since Odin wanted him to learn humility. The events leading up to the exile really don't paint him as an arrogant prick at all, first he trespassed into Nifleheim and nearly broke a royal truce but only because he was hunting down a deadly monster that would have gone on to kill Asgardians and giants alike. And later Thor gets into a fight after somebody he was arm-wrestling accuses him and the Warriors Three of cheating and attacks them. Then Odin summons him for a talk and even tells Thor his honor is unsullied before casting him down to Earth.

I was unaware about that with Boomerang and when you mention that last part you made me realize that yeah that actually was really loving dumb and indefensible. Like that's actually a really loving good point. Like that's a really good point.

I know it wasn't like Deadpool would be labeled a hero forever but Captain America getting a pass after NaziCap and then like one issue later he's tracking down Deadpool for things he did under the reign of Steveil just seems so wrong to me. I don't feel like Cap has had to atone or earn back his reputation at ALL in any of the books he's in and now in his own book, he's lost in time again. Waid is a good writer overall, I'd rather have seen him making up for Spencer's bullshit than handwaving the Nazi stuff and just pulling another time travel bullshit story.

Yeah, this I have to agree with hard even though I like Waid's stuff. The fact that Deadpool has to redeem himself but loving Captain America doesn't have to redeem himself after what his alternate self did is stupid.

Well Steve was forcibly changed against his will when his past was tampered with. Deadpool did what he did of his own volition. He knew it was wrong and he still did it. I think that’s a pretty big difference.

Guys, please refer to Supreme Hydra Leader President Steve Rogers by his proper name, Nazsteve, or just as Captain America, since the person calling themselves Captain America right now is a magical creation of a little girl remember an idealized Captain America.  Stevil is already taken by Urkel's sentient evil ventriloquist's dummy

It is kinda amazing they allowed most of the major earth based heroes to get poo poo on so heavily in a main continuity book EvilJay posted:I know it wasn't like Deadpool would be labeled a hero forever but Captain America getting a pass after NaziCap and then like one issue later he's tracking down Deadpool for things he did under the reign of Steveil just seems so wrong to me. Honestly I think they should have just killed Deadpool off(by letting him succeed in his suicide by Avengers plan) and have him be replaced by a clone or something, would have achieved much the same result although I just realized a bit of a plothole, Deadpool clearly wanted to die, and since the issue started off with him on Nowhere that means he had some sort of access to a spaceship, so why didn't he just fly it into the sun or something? And don't give me a Doylist answer, those are always obvious and boring, and don't point out the obvious Watsonian answer of "he just didn't think of it because Wade is a moron" either

Gavok posted:The possessed Carl Winslow dummy was named Carlsbad. I WISH I remembered that. As much as I love to stir poo poo up and walk away, Deadpool did NOT know about Nazsteve being a Nazi when he killed Coulson and Preston. Should he have questioned it, yes but when Captain America says "Do this, for America" when it makes it into Wade's demented brain, you kind of have to side with Deadpool; he really didn't know. Also, I was going to post that we are pretty close to the concentration camp books as we are to Secret Empire but holy poo poo, ""The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" was loving 2013...

Wanderer posted:The first few pages of the book are a flashback to a previous arc where Wade was in space for a while. I'm prefacing this by saying that until the more recent books, I really do not overall care for Deadpool as a character. That being said: None of this--and I know this was not your point-- explains why Deadpool is suddenly an rear end in a top hat to everyone and Steve is just not only forgiven but tasked and OK with tracking down the man who only carried out the orders he thought came from the REAL Steve and not Stevil or Nazsteve (both are great names). From Deadpool's POV 'Captain America' gave him a job and he did it without question. I think it's messed up that Wade has to be tried in court for his actions when Steve is not only automatically exonerated but somehow cleared to testify against him.

Not really a big fan of Venom to be honest, outside of Flash Thompson which I still think is infinitely more interesting as Venom than Brock has ever been, but I went ahead and picked up the first issue of the new series pretty much solely because it was written by Donny Cates. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Surprisingly so, or maybe not since Cates has pretty much hit everything he's touched at Marvel out of the park as far as I'm concerned. I think I'll hang on for an arc or two and see where it leads.

Speaking of a Thompson, after finishing Rogue and Gambit, I wanted to see a bit more of what Kelly Thompson has written so far. Unfortunately, aside from the spectacular Hawkeye, there was only A-Force. That series was fun and good, but since featured Captain Marvel and She-Hulk it obviously kinda suffered from the whole CW2 derail. I felt the same way when reading Ultimates. That stupid event ruined so many great story lines. I'm curious what's in store for Thompson.

Oh sorry, I meant specifically with regards to marvel comics. But I can totally see her writing Nancy Drew. It's basically a less fighty version of Kate Bishop. Maybe she'll slip another reference to Kate Beaton in there.
