The best part is when Doom is chilling out in his dressing gown and Kang shows up in his room. And Doom's response is
"God drat it Kang. Get your Time Machine fixed."
Because Doom is OG enough that when a time traveller shows up in his house, he just rolls with it.

I'd read a Nauck-drawn Power Pack book, even if I worry it wouldn't do better than Future Foundation.

Those are really good. Nauck's faces are a great fit for lighter, more optimistic characters, I would just personally recommend making Katie's hair into a proper fishtail plait to differentiate her further were I an editor. I think it would be a nod to her pigtails without being too childish since she's 14.

Someone call Jeremy Whitley to get back on a book again!

(I really enjoyed the recent one-shot of Power Pack. It was really charming.)

well, goddamn. Kevin Feige is now overseeing Marvel's publishing as well as animation and live-action television, with Dan Buckley now reporting to him instead of to Perlmutter (edit: only on the creative/editorial end, Buckley is still apparently reporting to Perlmutter on the business end of things, don't ask me how that's supposed to work)

it sounds like Perlmutter still has some say over the non-creative aspects of Marvel Publishing's operations, which could result in some... interesting friction

unsurprisingly, I'm seeing a lot of cynical takes predicting this, and while I can kinda understand them - I'm a fan of the MCU, but there's no question that Marvel Studios does have a house style, even if it's not quite as homogeneous as its detractors like to claim - I honestly don't think this is going to happen.

there will be changes at Marvel, but let's face it, superhero comics are not an enormously lucrative business in 2019. their main value is as an IP farm for other media, and I think/hope Feige would understand that heavy-handed interference to make comics more like the MCU would be completely counterproductive

The biggest difference is that the heads of Marvel now will know "So, 5 years down the road we're doing the Night Thrasher movie, so we need to start bringing him into the comics" instead "Oh poo poo Night Thrasher is coming out next year, time for 5 minis and 3 teams books featuring him out of nowhere!"

Marvel always pushes titles at the same time as movies, but I’ve never seen them successfully match settings. I think Black Panther had amnesia in space when his movie came out. The new Spider-Verse comic is specifically for the movie fans, and even that features completely new worlds like the punk universe and black and white manga universe.

I do believe he still has amnesia in space. At least last time I checked he did. The comic was so good before that crap.

He no longer has amnesia in space, though he is still dealing with some of the fallout of that story.

Coates and Coogler discussed their respective book and film while both were in production It’s why the suit created by the comic’s artist showed up in the movie before the comic was released.

I very strongly doubt that Green Arrow Rebirth would be as fondly remembered if it weren't for Otto's fantastic artwork on the series, so I think he could do the same thing here.

He and Juan Ferreyra, and Steven Byrne alternating pretty much gave Green Arrow the best art team in the business during that time.

Honestly I think I prefer the latter rather than the former. I think gradually introducing them might be good overall, it won't help the problem of the character's increased presence feeling forced. At least in the current "system", so to speak, if the movie's bad or a character is just written poorly, they can just go away after those minis and team books. But if they are brought in gradually, well then, they're just gonna be stuck in the comics all over the place for a while. Like, remember when the Inhumans were everywhere for a while, even after their planned movie turned into a TV show and then that show got canned for being loving awful? That time period was weird. (pretty much all the Inhuman comics were good though and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise)

Of course, I say all this knowing that just recently there was an event that ended a multi-year build up storyline of Thor fighting Malekith, the villain of Thor 2, well known as one of the least-liked MCU films

Very much enjoyed Sea [Scorpia] Hunter and the Sirenas she's in lesbians with in the backup story in Aero #4. Wave & Aero's reaction was very cute. :3: The main story is pretty cool too, with the dual narratives.

Captain Marvel #11 was really good. Genuinely impressive superheroics, and another drat good twist involving Star.
