I love the trend in Immortal Hulk of characters reminding Bruce that he’s the pinnacle of a privileged white man and Bruce doesn’t try and one up them by listing off his struggles. I went into Immortal Hulk thinking it’d be the most insufferable version of him but it’s by far my favorite interpretation.

Also I just caught up with the last 3 months of Daredevil and holy poo poo who'd have imagined that goofy-rear end Chip Zdarsky would be this goddamn good at writing dark? Like it takes chops to write Kingpin as being actually believably scared and I think he really pulled it off.

Cap and Namor are both currently depowered! Invaders is good and you all should be checking it out, but then again it's by Chip Zdarsky so you should all know that already.

The OP makes it look like this is the general Marvel thread so gently caress it  I haven't followed Marvel since life happened and I stopped buying books shortly before Hickman's big final Avengers event ended but I want to poke my way back into a few lines and don't know where to start. So if anyone could point me in the direction of where to start for: Cosmic Ghost Rider The new stuff with Venom Hickman's X-Men (does it have leadup before his issues went live?) Can I just start reading the Doctor Doom series or again is there leadup? You would be the best

the new Venom stuff all starts with the first issue of Donny Cates' run on the book IIRC, so the current volume should have everything you need. There was no leadup to Hickman's X-books, start with House of X and Powers of X, the two concurrently-running miniserieses (that can't be the right word) that just wrapped up. The only real leadup to the Doctor Doom mini, so far as I can tell, would be the introduction of the character Victorious in Dan Slott's first arc of Fantastic Four. Having said that, if you go in with the knowledge of 'she has superpowers and she is Doctor Doom's faithful lackey' you should be covered. Cosmic Ghost Rider got introduced in a recent Thanos miniseries and just sort of randomly pops up every so often for no good reason that I can tell, there doesn't seem to be much through-line

Len posted:The OP makes it look like this is the general Marvel thread so gently caress it For Venom, you could start with the 2016 series by Mike Costa (+ the crossover mini-series Venom Inc.). I didn't like it all that much and I wouldn't consider it mandatory reading, but it does provide some background on how Eddie and Venom got to where they were at the start of Cates' currently ongoing run. As for Cosmic Ghost Rider, he was introduced in issue #13 of the 2017/2018 Thanos series, which was also the first issue by Cates, so you might as well start there. From thereon, the reading order is Thanos > Cosmic Ghost Rider > Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History > Guardians of the Galaxy (2019). Like DCB said, the new X-Men can be read without reading any prior stuff. Do note that House of X and Powers of X were published in parallel and need to be read alongside each other, though.

Vazquez particularly killed it, especially with the fluid combat scenes and expressive faces, but it's a team effort of course - as Boris and Bruno demonstrate.  Spidey almost recognising them was such a great bit!

That was a fine finale for Squirrel Girl, but if I'm being completely honest, I could've done without the Doctor is regenerating speech Galactus gave in the middle. It was just a hair too on the nose.

Genolet is doing good work, but I'm glad they got Anka back for this one. Really curious for the big Doc Justice reveal... USG was a bit schmaltzy in places, but it's earned it and heck yeah Doreen and Nancy.

Shocker's last few non-crowd-scene appearances were pretty firmly in "hard luck guy who barely even wants to be a supervillain" territory, whether it's trying to open a bar in Chip Zdarksy's Starlord or trying to give himself superpowers while also trying to lifecoach Ms. Marvel at the tail end of the Wilson run. He was apparently trying to set up a cat shelter in a pre-Cates issue of Venom from a few years ago? I'm just sad that he hasn't ever tried to form a Silk/The Shocker team-up.

I am so sad to see that comic go, I was there day one for this, and it never had a bad issue. I hope Marvel gets Ryan North to do a Power Pack comic or something in the future.

Longtime Spidey artist Tom Lyle passed away following an aneurysm. His work on Spider-Man and Robin in the '90s was some of favorite art on those books. https://twitter.com/mattsinger/status/1196832404515758085

His work is what I think of when I remember the Scarlet Spider and 90's Robin. He also drew the bulk of the 80's Starman series. I met him one time, wonderful man.

I haven't thought about it in a long time but yeah his Scarlet era stuff was rad. Didn't know he created the outfit. What a great look. More than just a superhero costume designed in the 90s it incorporated 90s fashion.
