To be fair, Bendis got the ball rolling on reverting Doom with how he finished his Infamous Iron Man run. Which was total bullshit because IIM was loving awesome up until then.

I'm not loving the way he seems to have ignored everything that happened with Doom over the last few years and just jumped him back to :doom:RICHARDS but at least he writes a good Ben.

I enjoyed his Thing series some years back, and Ben is clearly a favorite character, as is right and proper.

Looks like Eve Ewing (ironheart) will be doing a second as of yet unnamed series

The two issues of Ironheart so far have been good - she did one of the best intro issues I've read in awhile - so hopefully whatever she get is something I'm into.

E:

Anyone else get Marvel Comics Presents? The Wolverine story was intriguing and I'm looking forward to more of that. The Namor story was really good but between that and Invaders I'm curious if there's some weird Namor-In-WW2 push going on for some reason. The Cap story was decent but needed a better artist. Cap's motorcycle changed every panel it was in.

So I'm reminded now of the all time saddest Daredevil story (and given that this is Daredevil, that's saying something.)

So Matt's life is always poo poo. And he showed up on a five part crossover series about Captain Universe. (In each issue a different hero had that power.)
And Daredevil gets the Captain Universe powers, only they are broken.
And more so with Matt as his radar senses are not working with cosmic senses.
But the one thing is his sight gets restored. So he can see for the issue as he tries to help Captain Universe.
And in the B story Foggy learns that Matt can see and he knows it will be temporary.
He is chasing after Matt and he finally catches up with Matt. To show him a photo of Matt's wedding to Millia. So he can know what they looked like.

Only by the time Foggy shows up, Matt's back to being blind.
And he just lies to Foggy and tells him that he see it.


Somehow this little, minor loss stings worse than any of Daredevil's big, classic hits.

What comic was that? It sounds hearbreaking, but somehow I missed it.

Jul 15, 2017

Rob was briefly in the Back Issue Magazine group on Facebook, but was run out because people couldn't stop making GBS threads on him for ruining the comics (that they don't even read today). During his time there, I did discover two things - that he's really a super nice guy and everything he likes is the best iteration of whatever it is.

There was a bigger version with the pencils and script on Comixology, that’s probably the print version of it.

The cover price on the comic is right there at $3.99. I guess the shop marked up the variant.

edit: Which it's self is an ad for a mobile game. Imagine paying a premium for that.

ee: Maybe he's not in the US atm (or whoever he got the photo from isn't.) That's pretty much what the issue would look like with the NZ price stuck on top at my local place.

I'm not a fan of the guy and how he behaved at a few retail industry events. It's all just my personal perception of the guy though, I'm surey negative experiences are giving me a negative perspective.

In New 52 days, I remember something about him having some stupid beef with Scott Snyder, which nobody understood.
Also, he posted a video inking a page of Hawk and Dove while driving. Gag or not, I think that got him fired.

I did kind of want to like Web Warriors, but I think I was still holding on to lingering resentment over Spider-Verse (and that it just seemed like 'Exiles, but all Spider-People'. The fact they seemed to use Mayday as an afterthought didn't help. Not to mention that they seemed to make Gwen the most competent and de facto leader (despite her own book, by her own creators, establishing that she was still pretty inexperienced). And Noir was made randomly racist?

But there were still some great bits. Spider-Ham 2099 was one. And that bit where they wind up on a movie set (not realising it was a movie set), and the actress playing Spider-Gwen just decides to join the fight since she took martial arts classes, and everyone else is like 'OK cool, welcome aboard!'

Honestly, I think that Into The Spider-Verse has laid to rest basically all of the misgivings I had with Web Warriors as a concept, and if they brought it round again I'd give it another chance. Unfortunately I feel like Spider-Geddon didn't really cover the Spider-comics in glory (well, except for Spider-Girls and Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider).

It's not that unusual.

Also Eve Ewing is an African American woman who grew up in Chicago and Al Ewing is a white guy from the UK, so if there's a relation it's a distant one. They're both working for Marvel in 2019 but prior to that had career paths that never overlapped at all.

Looks like lots of good stuff, but yeesh, Age of X-Man sounds like a hard pass.

Anyone else read Invaders? The first issue was good, but I'm curious if there's some intention to remind everyone that Namor fought in WWII, since Marvel Comics Presents ALSO had a story about that. Could just be coincidence.
