Al Ewing and Donny Cates straight up switching books with each other is weird.

on the flip side pumped for Ram V/Al Ewing Venom but uh Bryan Hitch would not really be my first choice for art on a Venom book

Is there any other comics writer who's torched their own reputation in as short a time as Cates?

Ehh, Brubaker on Daredevil after Bendis was good, as was Nocenti after Miller and Seoule and especially Zdarsky after Waid. Whedon was the major X-Men book after Morrison. JRSR taking over for Ditko on Spider-Man was a masterstroke.

I actually "like" Cates in the "turn off your brain" summer blockbuster mentality, I know it won't be Ewing quality but maybe it won't be so baquote:[Cates and Ottley] will helm a bold new era of Hulk that begins when Bruce Banner discovers a radical way to control the monster within. Could this mark the final end of the Green Goliath? Or will the extreme solution create something new—with massive consequences?

The radical way? It’s a symbiote. That said, given where Immortal Hulk is I can’t see Ewing finishing this with anything other than the complete destruction of the Green Door system so giving Banner/Hulk a new hook is to be expected. I just don’t see Cates doing well at it.

Who changes their decision about whether or not to buy issue 7 of a series based on reviews when there's been no major changes in the creators? I guess I could see bouncing off a series early and reading "oh it really turns poo poo around at issue #X" But if I bought issue six and after reading it still planned on buying issue seven after reading it, I don't know what someone could say to change my mind about that unless there's some out of the blue racism or homophobia.

I'm loving Hellions - has Zeb Wells had any other runs that are worth looking into? Based on Wiki it looks like he's mostly done one shots here and there with a few brief runs.

Carnage USA was good, Zeb Wells is one of those names where I've never read a bad book written by them, but yeah it's mostly one shots and minis until now.

I really enjoyed how the story arc ended in Black Cat, as well as the Iron Man Annual. Can't wait to see how Felicia steals the Infinity Stones.

I honestly don't understand giving Ewing a property like Venom when Thor is right there and floundering, but perhaps he asked for it. I can't believe after Ultimates and Hulk and recently Guardians there's a lack of trust in him from anyone.

I don't care about Cates getting Hulk now, but to be honest, writing Hulk after what Ewing has done on Immortal Hulk is such a difficult task, I probably can't think of anyone that could actually be a good choice.

cates' job is taking over after amazing complete runs and writing a new (inferior) status quo. that's pretty rough, though it certainly doesn't excuse shoving the most boring space dracula into everything.

Based on Wiki it looks like he's mostly done one shots here and there with a few brief runs. Carnage USA was great. Made the Life Foundation symbiotes into Agent Venomesque super soldiers, each with their own special ability. Like, one shares their symbiote with a dog. Also, Venom Ape vs Carnage Lion. Zeb also did the first Young Avengers/Runaways meeting during Civil War, where they fight Noh-Varr in his first appearance outside his original mini series.

The Wells issues of Avenging Spider-Man were good. It was a team up book and Joe Mad drawing Spider-Man and Red Hulk fighting monsters together was fun.

Zeb is a great talent, you just haven’t seen much of him because Robot Chicken and whatever else he’s doing pays more. Amazing sense of humor, but can go dark without tonal whiplash. The perfect choice for Hellions. Big props to whoever set that up. His time on Spider-Man ruined his name for me. I always see “Web Sells”.

I've never really been an X Men guy before the current run so it's been my introduction to Mister Sinister and I love how Wells writes him. The sending a clone to Avalon gag was great.
