The Namor stuff in Avengers doesn't seem to square with what's going on in X-Men Red at all. Almost makes you want a continuity editor!

I love, love LOVE Namor. He's one of my favorites. And yes, he is a beast underwater, but even I feel he was a little overpowered in Avengers #9. He basically no-sold hits from the entire Avengers roster.

Nova and Darkhawk are in. I don't know who that is with the white hair. Is that Phyla? https://twitter.com/marvel/status/1050488890946142210?s=21

I'm guessing the last four of this Guardians team is Quill, Surfer, Warlock, and probably Groot.

Sad there's no Kosmo, Ronan, or Super Skrull.  Especially KosmoEdit: I can still be sad that there's no Ronan to be insecure on a team when it comes to power levels! Jiro fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Oct 11, 2018 |

It's DC, but in Red Hood Jason is told by Bruce his best friend died and his reaction was "huh. well so did you once. And me. And Damian. And everyone in our business. I'll be sure to give him poo poo next time I see him once he comes back"

I'm still not sold on Cates' schtick and am not very fond of wacky Ghost Rider, so I'm a little biased, but this line-up ticks off a lot of boxes that usually bore me. A) It's huge. B) It's overwhelmingly male. C) It's a lot of characters with nebulously overwhelming power. D) It's a lot of characters who tend towards grim-faced stoic soliloquizing. E) If we only count humans/Earth-people and there's not a big surprise under the Darkhawk helmet, is it all-white? F) Personally I have never cared about Silver Surfer, Gladiator, or any Nova except Sam, and I think both Adam Warlock and Beta Ray Bill are deathly boring under anybody but Starlin and Simonson respectively. Ditto I think the Darkhawks, plural, work as an antagonistic force in Cosmic Marvel but no Darkhawk as a single character in a protagonist role has ever been anything but a wet wheeze escaping from a rubber bladder labelled "1991" to me. Granted the "classic" post-Annihilation Guardians team, especially in the wake of the movie, has some of these same problems, but I liked the ramshackle, dysfunctional vibe that went along with it that seems like less of a seamless fit with this group. I liked the anarchic, almost screwball energy of Gerry Duggan's run, which made the universe feel truly alien and bizarre in a fun and unpredictable way, this seems like just a bunch of buff people and Groot being mighty near a galaxy. Maybe this is just my way of sulking and muttering "where's Cosmo." In full disclosure my dream team for a GotG book at this point is PAD and ChrisCross with the Captain Marvel reunion tour nobody asked for, so feel free to dismiss this post as the depraved grunting of a nostalgia-poisoned space perv.

Chuck Wendig fired from Marvel because of political tweets. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/marvel-fires-star-wars-writer-chuck-wendig-1151966 https://twitter.com/ChuckWendig/status/1050822080130895878 From his Twitter thread so far it seems like there was a sizable online campaign against him for putting LGBT characters in his previous Star Wars novel.

Hey I understand. It's not for everyone. I just love cosmic Marvel so this gets me excited. I especially love Richard Rider. This book might not work and I'm not a huge fan of Cosmic Ghost Rider. I feel like he's about to be the new Deadpool shoved down all our throats. But if this book jumpstarts cosmic stuff like Annihilation, then I'll be content. I love DnA's Nova and Guardians. I don't like the movie roster at all...especially when it comes with wacky stuff. But I did enjoy them when they were joined with Bug, Mantis, Warlock, etc. This roster definitely needs Cosmo and Mantis though.

I liked most of DnA's Guardians stuff but I felt-- and I'm realizing now what the Cates team is largely, perhaps a callback to-- like a lot of momentum and frisson was lost during the Annihilators stuff. I'll co-sign desperately wanting Bug and/or Mantis back though. Whatever happened to Drax's sidekick Cami? Did she just vanish after the Avengers Arena poo poo? I'd also be interested to see if a more versatile writer could successfully give a personality to the Nick Spencer-created Quasar. And while I'm just wishing, if Al Ewing isn't using her surely nobody has dibs on Monica Rambeau, who has not to my knowledge ever had a shot on a real space-faring team.

Lmao, why did he even bother creating her if she was going to be introduced, shuffled off to the sidelines, and then almost immediately blown up? Presumably nobody in editorial was clamoring for her death one way or the other.

I imagine it was just another instance of The Colossus Effect. A heavy hitter gets killed or taken off the board just to show how deep the poo poo is our heroes are in. Kind of of like recently offing Magus and then Thanos immediately in the current Infinity event.

Presumably nobody in editorial was clamoring for her death one way or the other. Well she was both created and killed by Nick Spencer, and opinions on him are... awkward, to say the least, but presumably he had her death in mind from the moment she started. However you could also apply that to like half of Hickman's Avengers lineup (hey guys remember Starbrand? Or Nightmask? Or what's-his-name the gold creation guy? They sure had... like one moment each) TwoPair fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Oct 12, 2018 |

Right, she came about in the aftermath of his stupid Brainwash Village crossover, muddled around in the pages of Captain America as it built up to Secret Empire and didn't really appear anywhere else, as far as I know. I think the comparison to some of Hickman's weird high-concept characters is apt-- she made a nice reveal but I feel like Spencer hadn't considered how to make narrative space for somebody that powerful in a fairly low-power intrigue-type book, in the same way that I feel Hickman introduced these very powerful new characters whose abilities and backgrounds almost demanded pushing the Marvel Universe in a more speculative direction, but backed off when he realized he couldn't or didn't care to do that.
