We did get a couple of Batman/Daredevil crossovers, at least. They aren't bad, really. I kind of like the one with Two-Face because Murdock and Dent went to law school together.

Heavy Metal posted:Gotta love toku. I know people enjoyed the nutty Godzilla Marvel comic back in the day. Speaking of licensed stuff, other than Star Wars (also Disney), I wonder if they'll do any unexpected great licensed runs at Marvel again. Though IDW seems to have the niche of licensed stuff mainly covered. The Warhammer minis have been really solid. It's a shame Marvel hasn't made them much of a priority. I really hope they do some ongoing series and some non-Imperium stuff. Lelith Hesperax and Lucius the Eternal were made to star in comic books! It's also a bit odd that they haven't done an Age of Sigmar comic yet.

Heavy Metal posted:I always thought of Daredevil as the Batman of Marvel. With them both having Frank Miller redefining runs in the 80s, very hard boiled noir influenced avengers since then. And that particular style of noble gravitas, peas in a pod those guys. In fact apparently his editor would often tell Miller "this is a Batman thing not a Daredevil thing."

Related to the Hulk discussion a few pages back, I've been using Unlimited to dip back into various bits of Hulk history and I think I'm a Hulk guy now. I read basically all of Tales of Suspense (which had the side effect of exposing me to a lot of Namor, who rules) but felt myself burning out on the stories which were fairly one note, especially once they lost the bonkers "we have no idea what we're doing with this character" energy of the first few issues. I've instead jumped forward to Peter David's run which I've really enjoyed alongside dips into more contained stories like Planet Hulk and Future Imperfect / Maestro. I would kind of like to join up the dots between issues 100 and 330 but it's a lot of comics and all of the write ups about the history of the character kind of skip over that period - it usually goes original run, hey did you know this was the first appearance of Wolverine, Peter David - which makes me think it might be pretty thin on good issues. On the other hand part of my delving into Hulk's past was a desire to find out more about how characters like Doc Samson and Sasquatch were introduced so I feel like I'm going to do it one way or another. Anyone feel like this is a terrible idea? Oh and here's a Todd McFarlane panel that made me giggle at Leader's seven foot long legs and teeny pointy feet

Yeah that might be where I look next. This issue (345) rules by the way, Leader spends the whole issue in that chair ticking items off a to do list and right after he reassures his henchmen that they won't be caught in the bomb he's set for Banner he ticks off "lie to henchmen". It ends on a huge cliffhanger as well

That highlights one of the reasons even though it's such an enormous task I like the whole "read Marvel from the beginning" project I've been doing off and on, since I'm jumping between multiple series in each lump of issues I do it means I don't have to deal with any flaws a given series has in too large of a dosage at once, like if I had had to read the original 6 issue Hulk run(which as my reviews point out is mostly pretty bad after the first issue) in one sitting like if I had done a "Hulk only" thing I probably would have given up then and there

It wasn't even that the art changed much JRSR is a great artist, but it became very clear very quickly how much writing Kirby was doing on the book also.

Anyone feel like this is a terrible idea? One thing I do if I want to get into a character with a lot of backstory is find a wiki page on them and get a quick overview of their history. Then I can just pick out the bits that sound important and/or interesting to actually read and let the wiki fill in the rest. Like, look up Doc Samson appearances and jump around.

I'm like a year late to this news but I only today found out that Zdarsky wrote an encore issue of Spider-man: Life Story, about what Jonah was doing all that time. Am still midway, but so far it's great, of course.

Party Boat posted:Yeah that seems like a good approach. It’s one of my favorite runs but that Jeff Purves art can be a bit…. off at times. His first issue is full of people that look like mannequins and some bizarre faces. He did some awesome action sequences but otherwise it was a real crapshoot. I know it’s “stylized” but even as a kid, seeing that after McFarlane and then seeing Keown right after was jarring. It was so weird that he came out of animation to do one of marvels biggest characters after NEVER having worked in comics before, did 18 of 19 issues, then NEVER worked in comics again.

Misleading covers (and solicits) aren't exactly new...in this case, the cover doesn't represent the contents of this specific issue, but seems to reflect their current status.

Misleading covers and solicits aren’t new but they are usually about the issue in a way even if it turns out not exactly in the way it implies. Which is not the case here, rationalize it how you want I guess.
