I haven't been loving Spider-Man Beyond, but this week's issue is worth picking up for a fraction of a Nextwave reunion. I guess it's wrapping up next week - do we still not know what's happening afterwards? Edit: oh, it's Zeb Wells. I remember hearing about that but I think I misinterpreted it as him running Beyond and leaving after. Chinston Wurchill fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Mar 16, 2022 |

To be fair you aren’t missing much, they already socilited the first issues of Zebs run and 900 and to be honest none of them sound interesting at all

Mutant Sex Island sounds like Krakoa going around banging the Hawaiian Islands. Also it's really great to see Nextwave again. Even if it's just part of the team.

The X Men thread might be able to be more specific but most of the fallout is unsurprisingly in Excalibur. On the subject of Marvel accidentally overlapping with real world stuff, I decided to check out the recent World War She Hulk event in Avengers and uh awesome timing for a story that involves Russian false flag terrorism and establishing a nation of vampires in Ukraine

X Lives of Wolverine abruptly wrapped up a plot where Mikhail Rasputin had created a parallel mutant government inside Russia in what seems like might have been a reaction to the invasion. Wouldn't want to suggest that Colossus' brother had spurred the siege of Kyiv. It's what they get for using one of America's Designated Enemies as the bad guys, though. Like, nobody is accusing X-Men of Anglophobia because they're using the UK government as the bad guys. It's fiction! Also, the BBcode for the creepy lettering is a hell of a thing to see, be sure to quote that post or this one. quote:f̵͙̒u̷̦͉͓͒̇͝c̸̦̱̫̼͉̄k̴̤̤̮̠̓̂͜͝i̷͓̐n̶̢̢͎̥̞͋͒̈́̆g̵̨̼̥̭̻̉̈́̃̈ ̶̹͕̏̓̂͘͘m̵̘̫͘i̸̼͚̔̍̐͘s̵̬̯̾̄͋s̷̡̬̦̺̒

Endless Mike posted:What I don't have the issue in front of me, but from memory the gist of the political stuff was a text box saying like, "The Russian government put an end to Mikhail's mutant state and is back to normal," which is a simple hasty rewrite. It feels like an abrupt end to the parallel mutant Russian government plot after not doing much with it. EDIT: I checked, Rasputin uses the phrase "the new Russia" in the first half and then there's this data page.

Because this comic had a physical edition, it's been written and done for at least a month, because that's the kind of lead time you need for a print edition. The timeline doesn't quite work.

It's referring to the win/loss percentage that was put on the cards before they began putting the power rankings, which where done mainly to appease the baseball card company helping produce the cards. When they switched to power rankings, they put in more work, starting with the guidebooks Gruenwald had written, and talking to the comic editors for newer characters.

^^beaten, but I quoted the relevant part from the article They knew what they were doing with that quote tweet to get people to click. The very first line of Marvel cards had a win % that was made up, but if you're like me and you were thinking about all the RPG-like stats of each character that were the hallmark of the later lines then those had actual care and thought and consultation put into them. quote:In 1991, Budiansky and his team decided to abandon the fake stats and move directly to power rankings. They had more concrete citations in mind for the second set, using the Marvel Universe Handbooks put together by executive editor Mark Gruenwald in the ‘80s.
