"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


The rumor is a Spider Women movie spinning off of Spiderverse with Cindy, Jessica Drew, and Gwen.

Can't believe zub put a bunch of z-listers on the champions and then nonchalantly says oh yeah honey badger and silk are on the backup roster. YOU DON'T PUT GABBY ON THE BACKUP ROSTER SHE IS YOUR A-LISTER

It's perfectly in character for Gabby to join as many back up rosters as she possibly can. :colbert:

Conan was fun, but it's very much a transplant of Aaron's Thor ideas, or more likely his Thor ideas started life as dreams for the Conan run he couldn't write at the time.

I knew Aaron was gonna nail Conan, and of course he did. But holy crap I was not ready for Mahmud Asrar to come with that kind of art. I’m a big fan of Asrar but I absolutely did not expect him to be that perfect for Conan. I can tell I’m going to love this book

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.

X-O posted:

She doesn't need to be on The Champions. Gabby theoretically should be everywhere because she's great but in reality we need to keep her in as few hands as possible so she stays great.

She's the daughter of Wolverine. She should follow her Father's Footsteps and be in a billion books at once with greatly varying levels of characterization and writing quality and art quality and yet somehow still become a fan beloved character despite how many terrible stories she is in. That's the Logan way. :colbert: /joking

I only have excellent ideas
I have a huge soft spot for Ms. Marvel's solo title, despite a few lulls in pacing and momentum, so it always bothers me that when she appears in other titles she tends to be written as a completely different character. Champions is especially wild-- inter-title continuity is always a tricky, quixotic thing, but I find it really difficult to square the generic Cyclops-type holding court over an international team of superheroes on some sort of high-tech vehicle/base thing with the panicked kid taking three issues to deal with the Shocker in her own title.

I like everything Saladin Ahmed has written so I'm confident in his ability to write a good Kamala, but it's sort of a shame that in her own book she occupies an interesting and novel niche, but elsewhere writers seem bent on making her a stock type that's easier to plot for but much more boring.

Yup. I’ve only ever seen the movies (and, uh, the 90s cartoon) but I was immensely satisfied.

Echoing what X-O said, I knew Aaron was a no-brainer for this and I stull came out of this pleasantly surprised.

I’m now also going to be following Mahmud Asrar, however, because I’d no knowledge of him at all before and holy crap did he come out of the gate swinging.

Thor: God of Thunder

I'm a big fan of his Ghost Rider run, too, which doesn't start at #1, but you can just jump in and read if motorcycle nuns with machine guns interest you.

Cheers mate. Rewatching Thor 3 and going to see Spiderverse kinda got me to sign up. Finding Miles and Gwen series was easy. Thor and Pete have a... few more options.

I was also gonna check out that new Hulk one after someone posted him eating demonic investment bankers.

I don't hate Slott and thought "Go Down Swinging" was a lot of fun, but the BEST modern Spider-Man is definitely Zdarsky's Spectacular run.

Well that was quick and unanimous.

Also the first issue of Immortal Hulk owned. Too bad that's all on Unlimited so far.

"You had best not do that, Avatar!"
The first issue of Conan was pretty well done, yes. I hope it can keep up the quality in all respects.

I am not a huge expert on the character, but I've read some of Dark Horse's early material (specifically, the Busiek - Nord run) that adapts the original stories and those were quite good too. Marvel is going to start reprinting some of those issues as epic collections, so interested folks might want to check those out.

Lipstick Apathy
Conan is one of the most consistently good characters to ever appear in comics. I haven’t read King Conan or any of the 90s stuff that might have come out, but he had more than a literal decade of greatness at Marvel, a superb run of stories in the Savage Sword pulp comic magazines, and has been consistently good with Dark Horse.

Haven’t picked up my books this week yet but that’s definitely the one I’m most looking forward to.

Clint wrote comics for a while in the 90s, and they all collaborated on their (not very good, unfortch) adaptation of The Adventure Zone. And Griffin wrote a cute little story about a Jawa in this Star Wars short story collection from last year, so there's more than just video games journalism to go off of. I feel like the quality of this could go either way!

Also holy poo poo, that team lineup is such a weird grab bag, I kind of love it.

Story-related. About an issue or so ago, Absorbing Man hopped up on hulk-roids leeched a bunch of his gamma out.

It is the Hulk, most of his gamma energy was siphoned out of him by a possessed absorbing man in the previous issue. They showed that by having Hulk look emaciated, which is cool visual choice.

You should be reading Immortal Hulk.
