Anyone know how to change credit card details for a marvel unlimited subscription? The account page seems to just be a blank white screen.

site posted:thats...quite a lot -The initial teaser got people hyped up for a Raimi Spider-Man 4 adaption -Then they lied by omission to make people think it was happening in 616, including in solicitations, which naturally upset some people, especially when it was pointed out a lot of the same story beats have already been done. -Then they fridged Mary Jane on literally the first page after the preview in issue #1, which caused a whole other backlash. -And now it's delayed like crazy.

Dawgstar posted:Are they still pushing Miles and Gwen? Not really. They both still have books of course, but they are both almost back where they were as far as sales. Bumps from movies rarely last more than a month or so, and then everyone goes back to reading what they were reading before. Moving Gwens book to the 616 definitely cut away part of what made it a cool different read. I wonder why Marvel thinks we need another Gwen Stacy mini series coming up. The MJ one is a delightful read, but locally it doesn't get much traction. Marvel gonna Marvel though.

It is almost certainly his kid doing all of it while JJ Abrams is on the cover to help it sell. The plot has been about Abrams' self insert trying to live up to his famous father while dating his ideal manic pixie dream girl.

site posted:okay so is it civil war 3 or secret empire 2 or both I can't figure it out. Empyre. The Pyre implies fire and ruin, but what big cosmic villains use fire? Dorammaru? He wouldn't have anything to do with an Empire. We aren't getting phoniex. My best guess is the Pyre is just there for ruin. So, its a ruined Empyre? Is it a sequel of Secret Empire dealing with the fallout? Unlikely, the original was too controversial. Empire makes me think of Kingpin because of Empire the TV show. I doubt it. I got no idea what its about. This is my guess, though:

Hydra Cap takes over all of America, again! But this time we get the long awaited introduction of Tiger Wylde... Who later is involved with this summers huge Doctor Doom event! Honestly, I generally like the Marvel events but at this point why would anyone bother buying a tie in.

I like the idea for a meta character trying to maintain relevance, but doing it in an industry where the story is laid out slowy over a period of weeks and with an audience that s fairly fickle and may not follow you all the way to the tone shift seems...risky?

The Empyre thing is supposedly spilling out the Incoming thing we've had teasers for. Some people have theorized Incoming is tied to the Kree/Skrull story with Teddy Altman being at the center of it. One of the teasers has a figure that looks like him that says "One will unite them" and that's been said to be his destiny being that he's of both the Kree and Skrull Empires. https://www.newsarama.com/46695-hulkling-future-of-the-marvel-universe-teaser-excelsior.html X-O fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Dec 15, 2019 |

War of the Realms and Secret Wars both had a lot of fun tie ins that were great reads. I much prefer a tie in miniseries than issues in an existing book (for ease of skiping). If you can't tell me the entire story in one miniseries and I need to read some particular tie in to understand what is going on? You hosed up. Tie in can be great, but they need to never be necessary by design.

The worst part of tie-ins is that they derail the story of other series. Oh, you're enjoying this 12-issue series and want to see where the author is going with it?

It kind of feels like other writers trying to handle Gwenpool read Hastings' run and got the entirely wrong idea that she's all about wacky 4th wall jokes.

Well that return to the classic costume lasted all of five minutes. I guess this means Strikeforce is over, since the writer specifically reverted Jess back to her old costume out of her personal preference.

I like the costume, but it seems like something that Peter would make since it kind of takes after his style. Don't know if that's right for Jess.

Yeah, I feel like it really turned a corner the last two issues and became pretty good. I really hated the first issue, but this last one I felt was pretty heartfelt and genuine and I liked it. Gwen retconning her own origin to stay relevant seemed pretty clever.

The constant hunger for the shot you get for a first issue is a little frustrating. The Agents' story is continuing in Atlantis Attacks. Ewing's Guardians starts in January.
