My favorite "event tie in" was during Inferno, where Spidey saw the New Mutants walking through NYC and they told him they didn't have time to explain.

That stuff's at least funny, like I don't really need to know about how loving Captain America is thinking very intently about doing something no one gives a poo poo about while the world is ending. The only good event tie-in so far has been Superman Beyond.

The Squirrel Girl War of the Realms arc was how to do a tie in story right.

howe_sam posted:The Squirrel Girl War of the Realms arc was how to do a tie in story right. The Immortal Hulk issue of whatever the last Carnage event was (Absolute?) was really good. I was wondering when they'd update the release list as the one in Empyre #0 Avengers indicated that the event was almost over. I didn't particularly care for the issue but it's Al Ewing so I'll give him a chance.

fear itself had some great tie-ins, which was good because the main book was garbage.

One time something was happening in Thor with the cask of eternal winter and it had a "tie-in" with Spider-Man that consisted entirely of it snowing in a single panel and Spider-Man saying "that's weird" with an editor's note saying "buy Thor to find out what happened."

They did the same thing with a blackout happening randomly, and them telling you to read Uncanny X-Men.

Originally read that issue of Spider-Man when I was maybe sixteen or so. Finally read that Thor story last year and remembered the editor's note.

There's always at least one great tie in because so many books and creative teams get dragged into these events, but they're still overall just pointless disruption for the precious few issues of a comic many creators get to work on.

Right now the only Marvel I'm reading is the X-books, so I'll definitely get the mainline X-Men that ties in, but I haven't figured out if I'm getting the Empyre:X-Men books.

I'm re-reading most of the Secret Wars minis and that's the good stuff right there. Bit different to what's being discussed of course! I'll give it up for War of the Realms though, I remember the Spider-Man related tie-ins and Giant Men being tight, plus the new Agents of Atlas are cool.

Empyre X-Men has a rotating writing team of almost all the current X writers. I think it may also tie into the X-Men issues that are part of the event. Secret Wars is easily the best event that derailed every book. So many good tie ins. Marvel just went nuts, and it paid off.

Open Marriage Night posted:Secret Wars is easily the best event that derailed every book. So many good tie ins. Marvel just went nuts, and it paid off. Secret Wars was good for the same reason War of the Realms was good. There was no pretense anything really important would happen in any tie in, so everyone just got to do cool short stories. The Iron Fist secret wars book where Marvel heroes were just reimagined as martial artists was rad. Stuff like that is why I have akways preferred Marvel to DC. They just get to have more fun, and way more often.

Two of the Secret Wars side books actually had a pretty major impact on the main story, but no way to know which two before hand. It's readable without those, but it's two pretty big revelations with no backstory if you don't read the side books.

And didn't the one Old Man Logan mini directly explain how he ended up in the main universe after the event? Vvvvv Sounds about right, I've lost almost all sense of good/bad since switching over to Marvel Unlimited almost exclusively. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Jun 28, 2020 |

You mean Renew Your Vows? I just felt like Slott didn't even bother with tying it into Battleworld and desperately tried to make it fit at the end/try and give his extremely boring and generic villain an actual motivation. Looking back that mini was yet another Slott idea that was compelling in theory that he executed poorly and it took other writers to express its full potential.

site posted:Can't believe you don't want to spend 250 bucks on 50 event issues I'm old enough to remember thinking Secret Wars 2's tie-ins were 'a bit much.' Although even then most of them didn't have multiple tie-in issues and I think the biggest things that happened were the Beyonder turning Heroes for Hire's building to gold and killing the New Mutants.

And somewhere along the way Spider-Man taught the Beyonder, an omnipotent and omniscient being, how to poo poo in the toilet.

Last week the released the first four issues of Cates' new Thor series, 3 of which would be ahead of schedule, and this week it's the December 26th books, of which there are 4 total. And no back catalog stuff. Release the extra Thor stuff on the light week dumbasses. I'd put even money there just isn't going to be new comics for the month and a half shipping stopped.
