Chinston Wurchill posted:I was surprised that the reading guide at the end of each issue indicated that the event was ending in December after KiB 2 but it turns out they just didn't include January, February, or...possibly later, I don't know. More likely they had no idea if the book was getting pushed back or delayed by the pandemic. A bunch of upcoming Hulk issues have been shunted back a month or so, and TNC's Black Panther run had it's ending pushed back.

Question: When Gambit uses his powers to 'charge' an object, like a playing card, does it become heavier?

All the big moments seem ludicrous to me, and Spidey is so often written to be stupid to make Kindred work at all that it takes me right out of it.

Nick Spencer is easily one of my least favorite writers currently working in comics so I can only interpret him directly following Slott's endless tenure on my favorite character's flagship book as a direct attack on me from Marvel.

Ok I'm on Vol 10 now. IDK what issue. But man it IS dragging. Kindred is a power ranger level villian right now. Just "hehehe I will get you" in the shadows over and over. I suppose when he finally does something it'll be fine but jeez way to drag this for reasons....??? JJ is really cool. Spidey is a little too Deadpool like at times. The Absolute Carnage vol was the most useless thing i've ever read. What the gently caress was that? I had no idea what the hell was going on and I'm usually not the guy that has trouble understanding stuff. Like Nilbop said alot of this is... disposable. Which is fine but I've been reading a lot of Batman at the same time which makes some faults stand out. I like the other villains. Just wish they could do more. Hunted was REALLY good. Boomerang isn't annoying either, he's great! I grew up during the clone saga and the animated show period and that's the Peter I love and nothing has really come close since. Blue was really good. Might be my fave Spidey thing so far since I came back. I stopped reading a bit after Spider-Girl first started back in the day (I might still have #0 and #1 somewhere....) So...where should I go next? Spider Geddon? Spider Verse and it's horrible layout in the HC and TPB?

If you haven't already read it, the JMS run is also really good (and is referenced quite a bit in the current arc of Spencer's ASM). Maybe skip over Sins Past & The Other, though, they're not really necessary and both pretty bad.

I'm one of those people that like to read physical books of I can so the only thing holding me back is money. It's a pain cross referencing what's collected in what and constantly seeing ' Out of Print' or ' $250+' for Omnis is annoying but it's my own fault I guess. Collecting X-men is the worst for this.

It was something they dropped at a retailer summit, Alt MJ and May were going to bounce over to 616 and Peter was going to have clashing sets of memories like he had post HoM for like, half an issue. So he'd be torn between the MJs and yeah, drama.

I went back and skimmed the issue, and it's a little vague. It doesn't have her explicitly on Loomworld stitching the web back together, but she does say she is the Patternmaker and somebody has to remake the Web so it's a pretty easy inference. The main point of the scene was to tease the resurrection of Mayday's dad, so there's easily room to do whatever they want with Anime in the future.
