My favorite parts from Stryfe's wikipedia pagequote:Stryfe battles Cable until the latter opens a temporal rift by detonating a self-destruct system, destroying his body.[17] Stryfe's consciousness, however, enters Cable's mind, in which he stays until he voluntarily leaves.[18] several paragraphs later quote:However, Stryfe ultimately regrets the path he took and the choices he has made in his life (stemming from his perpetual identity crisis as a clone), frees Bishop from the entity and sacrifices himself to save the Earth from La Bete Noir. Gambit, however, is suspicious that Cable may have telepathically forced Stryfe to sacrifice himself.[25]

Didn't Venom: The End literally conclude with the symbiote recreating The Entire Universe? It's Knull all the way down.

On more Al Ewing news: Guardians is a mad trip and I am here for it. Ewing has such range it almost puts other writers to shame. Also the art and colours on this one are so much fun.

Rise of Ultraman #4. Jesus Christ. I am astounded. So this entire loving 5 issue miniseries exists to set up for some future Ultraman series why the USP acts in the open and why the monsters are giant. Two things which literally every Ultraman series just has as the basic premise. Giant monsters exist and there is an organization to fight them. But no, not Marvel Ultraman. They need a five issue miniseries to explain why there are giant monsters and an organization that fights them. And the explanation is, well the monsters used to be small and the organization used to be secret but then stuff happened and the monsters got big. This is the dumbest loving thing.

Did the title "Rise of Ultraman" not tip you off that it's setting up the world of Ultraman?

Endless Mike posted:Is this your first time reading an American comic? Did the title "Rise of Ultraman" not tip you off that it's setting up the world of Ultraman? Yes but it's setting up stuff that only needs to be set up because they established something else in the first issue! Like, the first issue established human sized monsters and a morally ambiguous USP. And three issues later, it seems like the whole point is just to get to giant monsters and good guy USP. Which they could've done in the first issue! "Why are the monsters big?" is not a question that needs to be answered if they hadn't introduced the monsters as small to begin with! This doesn't feel like an introduction to the world of Ultraman, this feels like a justification of it. It's like, "yeah yeah we know giant monsters are silly, non-evil organizations are corny, we know, we're sorry, but hey it's justified by plot contrivance!"

But the Marneus Calgar series continues to be OK. Very violent, nice little dashes of grimdark. It's a decent start to a Warhammer 40k comic universe, but I do hope their next series is about something a bit more interesting than Ultramarines. Give me an ongoing series about a Wych Cult, or Lucius the Eternal!

It was pretty ballsy to have an entire issue of Venom take place in the time it took Eddie to fall from the top of a building and end before he even hit the ground.

I just want ASM to be done with Kindred. Though the last few issues have had good moments, they are too decompressed and it feels like we are treading water until we get to issue 60

Wanderer posted:Harry Osborn is back, he's got unspecified demonic powers, and he's decided to really gently caress with Peter this time. We do not yet know where he got the powers. The implication is that he got them from going to hell after dying in Spectacular #200 (given he takes credit for Mysterio's resurrection which happened prior to OMD), and that his return in BND was actually related directly to the OMD deal, which is presumably why he's actively loving with Peter in the way he is at present, which I'm fairly certain is not coincidental with the fact he appeared in his Kindred guise at the start of this run right when Peter & MJ got back together. I've seen speculation that while last Remains is wrapping up next issue, the upcoming solicits & covers (which seem kind of generic) are actually cover for a third act that will be addressing OMD directly (if you assume Sins Rising & Last Remains are acts 1 & 2). Speaking of misleading solicits, turns out that Abrams Spider-Man mini wrapped up this week, if anyone cares.

It was a pretty long, dour road to get to where it's going, and in a rich recent tradition, has way too much Tony Stark. I have discovered I'm a total sucker for stories where Mary Jane has powers, though, so I'd be curious what they'd do with a follow-up.

Why didn't anyone tell me that the current Iron Man run is basically just Hellcat continually dropping hard truths to knock down his ego a peg? I'm not a fan of Tony, but I'm really into that storyline. And she's really good with that, give her personal experience and the fact that she had to support Jen, when she came out of the coma. Good choice for a supporting character there.

Was the post coma She-Hulk series good, I think that's the one where it's just called Hulk, cause Bruce was dead at the time.

I think it was okay-ish, but suffered from decompression and Trade Pacing. The first six issues feel like they could have been three issues, and from there it just sort of peters out. From memory the run is just three short story arcs, and the last one is maybe the best.

The Hulk series is only two arcs, and then it got renamed She-Hulk with legacy numbering for the final arc. Annoyingly Unlimited doesn't really do anything to link the two.

The scene where she looks in her mirror and realizes that everything in her life is just She-Hulk and not Jen is pretty effective. Just putting a mirror too high to be practical.
