He's talking about Ewing's run from before Secret Wars. So it's Falcon Cap, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, She-Hulk, Blue Marvel, Monica Rambau, that younger Power Man and a female White Tiger. Luke and Cap start inverted from Axis, but that's done with in the first 3 issues or so.

They probably saw the guy, and then kicked back into the bathroom to change, and then left it in panel four. I didn't notice in the third panel that they probably went back into the bathroom, not exiting the little hallway they were located in panel 1. I bet the coloring will help differentiate the hallway/room.

Panel three would have been better served if you were watching them enter the bathroom from behind, showing that they’re making a temporary retreat, and it makes the next panel with the costume reveal look more triumphant.

so in my constant adhd reading shifts ive moved over to re-reading hickmans avengers and yesterday i finished infinity. the whole builder war thing just still feels so epic and it's so much fun to read, and i LOVE leinil francis yu's art in avengers. but, and i dunno why i didnt seem to pick up on this before, the whole thanos story seems...not really that good? like, its gets so pointless i read this panel from when the intergalactic avengers are returning home and couldnt help but bust out laughing at how even hickman seems to have just thrown up his hands and said whatever to the whole thing i vaguely remember here once saying that it was like hickman wrote in that whole plot as an afterthought or because editorial wanted it and he had to figure out a way to cram it into this other thing he was doing and i now i get that sentiment a couple of other things spider-man and wolverine just like disappear completely about halfway through the story lol iron man has some real ugly armor at some points if you can find the digital hardcover i would definity recommend that, it combines all of new avengers, avengers, infinity, and the silver surfer backups in correct reading order it's real solid, i just wish it had the variants in the back to look at yu draws some serious badonk site fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 16, 2019 |

I agree with the rest, but I thought the Thor thing was well done, with the evil hammer and him and Hyporean facing the Beyonders and him dropping the evil hammer.

Write six really good issues of something as a re-launch then have someone else take over (Iron Man, Moon Knight, I guess he did 12 issues of Thunderbolts). Unless they're canceling Uncanny or moving Hickman to it when the minis are done I don't think it's going to be as defining a run as his F4 and Avengers.

Hickman might stay for another event soon after this, or he could be getting a longer run at the start of, say, a new adjectiveless X-Men title.

The beginning of New Avengers was originally written with Professor X instead of Beast being in the team. And since an important plot point is Cap being mind wiped, it kind of shows. It would have been fascinating to see how the series would have gone with Charles present instead of Hank.

Ellis/Granov's Iron Man was announced in the summer of 2004 and then took well over a year for those first six issues to come out. Iron Man #1 - 11/10/2004 Iron Man #2 - 12/29/2004 Iron Man #3 - 01/26/2005 Iron Man #4 - 08/10/2005 Iron Man #5 - 01/04/2006 Iron Man #6 - 03/29/2006 To put this in perspective in terms of "shared universe/creative summit" Marvel stuff that is a big part of planning/publishing if you're trying to do shared universes/align big story beats with movies coming out/etc. (which for good or ill, largely ill, is how Marvel has operated for the past 20+ years) Iron Man #1 came out the same month as the first issue of Ed Brubaker/Steve Epting's Captain America and Brian Michael Bendis/David Finch's New Avengers #1. By the time that Extremis wrapped up, Captain America had reintroduced and deprogrammed Bucky, House of M had come and gone, and Bendis had introduced the Illuminati and "The Road to Civil War" banners were popping up on comics. Everyone had to kind of write around the resolution of Ellis's story/Iron Man having Extremis armor forever. Then the book went to the Knaufs which seemed out of nowhere and also as you can see from this announcement call (which is happening in the midst of pre-production of the Iron Man movie, the first project from Marvel Studios that everyone thought was really risky because who cares about Iron Man?) there is a palpable sense of kidding-on-the-square about how they just want someone who can pump out a monthly Iron Man comic to have on the shelves until they figure out what direction they really want to go in. Thunderbolts is another one that in collected form looks like a short little cohesive run but actually went: Thunderbolts #110 - 01/10/2007 Thunderbolts #111 - 02/14/2007 Thunderbolts #112 - 03/14/2007 Thunderbolts #113 - 04/11/2007 Thunderbolts #114 - 05/09/2007 Thunderbolts #115 - 06/27/2007 -First arc out and on time! Thunderbolts #116 - 08/08/2007 Thunderbolts #117 - 10/24/2007 Thunderbolts #118 - 01/04/2008 Thunderbolts #119 - 03/12/2008 Thunderbolts #120 - 05/14/2008 Thunderbolts #121 - 06/25/2008 Then the delays kicked in for the second arc, Ellis was announced as taking some time off while Christos Gage wrote the Secret Invasion tie-ins (Gage was also writing the fill-in one shots that Marvel threw together to fill in the gaps in the publishing schedule created by Ellis's Thunderbolts effectively turning bimonthly) and then afterwards... Ellis was gone and Andy Diggle was re-revamping the team. The other thing about all of these -- and I know this is the Warren Ellis Party Line, the whole Mad Scientist Reinventing Characters and Unleashing Them Into the World -- is I don't really know how much of any of these reimaginings extend that far outside of Ellis's run. Outside of some gorgeous Declan Shalvey art, what did Ellis add to Moon Knight? What has carried through to the comics featuring Moon Knight that have come since? The closest thing to an actual example of this that I can think of was Ellis's "Counter X" thing from circa 2000, where he really did co-write a few issues of those C-tier X-Books before letting other people do the remaining issues.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVB3gSnuXM/ Looks like Scotty Young is done with Deadpool now (if "wrapped" means what I think it does). Which is fine by me, as I thought it was one of the worst runs after Way's back half of his writing. I love Young's work in other stuff (I hope you all are reading Middlewest), but he didn't see to be able to pick up Deadpool well. I haven't looked at previews in a while. Does anyone know who is writing after him?

I’m appreciating Logan just going about his life as normal, everyone asking him why he’s not dead anymore, and him just going nah. It’s happened in a few books and the simplicity of just not giving a poo poo this person was dead for a while just really sells that this is normal in the Marvel universe.
