Hey, man, you did a cool job with the story and you really surprised me with the Killraven stuff, but I gotta say you totally scored with the artist. Stylish and dark and cool is definitely what a Ghost Rider book should look like, even if it’s half Black Panther too

Tell me about it. Jefte's art was such a great fit, it really made the whole thing shine- he really gave it some moody weight.

Just read Ironheart, thought it was a pretty solid first issue, but nothing amazing. The conversation between Xavier and Riri at the end was pretty fun.

Still, definitely a better comic than what many long time writers of comics have put out. Almost like maybe Marvel and DC should be giving people other than straight white dudes a shot at writing comics?

I've noticed that a lot of people who are new to comics from some other writing medium will do a bit of what Ewing did here, and will just overstuff the hell out of their word balloons. Beyond that, though, this was a solid setup issue that tried to establish some supporting cast members that are uniquely Riri's, which is never a bad call.

So The death of Daredevil story line ended pretty much how I thought it would, considering the first part to the story. Like, zero surprise. Kind of disappointing, honestly. I still liked Soule's DD run overall, but it ended on a wet fart, especially considering we already know a new Daredevils series begins in February.

Whew, I haven't thought of Sleepwalker in . . . . . . . . . a very long time. I should read Gwen Poole, it sounds like it's up my alley. I tried to read a series on Unlimited a few years ago though and it didn't make much sense.

MEET THE SKRULLS
The Warners are your typical family. Dad works at Stark. Mom works in a Senator’s office. Jennifer and Alice are students at Stamford High School. The only thing that makes them different is that they’re shape-shifting Skrulls and have infiltrated our society to pave the way for a Skrull invasion. Robbie Thompson (SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL) and Niko Henrichon (DOCTOR STRANGE, Pride of Baghdad) bring the Marvel Universe down to Earth with a bold new look at the Skrulls that will test even YOUR loyalty.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Synthbuttrange posted:

While I agree, I really have faith in the new war of the Realms storyline. Jason Aaron began that story line during his awesome run on Thor god of thunder in 2012. Over the last 6 years, he has built that story in the background. Everything that has occurred in his amazing run of Thor has been a part of that story line. So if he wants to have the Final Act be a big line wide event, I have faith that he can pull it off. If nothing else, everything leading up to it has been a blast.

counterpoint: Gerry Duggan's Guardians of the Galaxy was a banger but Infinity Wars has, outside of the Warped minis, been bad and forgettable, largely due to external circumstances (the art, the obvious shift in direction from a GOTG storyline to a linewide event, Duggan's plans for characters clearly being changed for him)

Like once an event becomes an Event the book's creative team doesn't really guarantee anything because more than ever they exist at the whim of editorial and corporate

Yeah, gonna Nth this. It clearly establishes her as a character along with her supporting cast and her place in the Marvel Universe as well as having a solid *actual story* and a fight sequence throughout, and leaving a cliffhanger for the next issue. The art was solid for the most part, if a bit "house style" and didn't get in the way of the story at all. I felt it got a touch wordy at times, but that's a minor complaint.

I still don't like the armor design, but that's whatever.

I bet she gets new armor in an arc or two, or has different suits for different things, what's the point of being on an iron person book if you don't get to design a bunch of cool armor?

Unless you need to see the origins of main baddie Malekith, just Jason Aaron's Thor.

Thor: God of Thunder (2012)
Thor (2014)
The Mighty Thor (2015)
Thor (2018)
+ some optional miniseries here and there.

Technically, the War story only starts midway through GoT, but you might as well read everything.

And don't forget Secret Wars: Thors which sets up precisely one thing in the 2015 series, but more importantly, is entertaining as gently caress.

And also the Unworthy Thor mini which is also kind of skippable but features the grand return of Thori the hellhound.
