A lot of this stuff only came out years after it happened. You won't find many freelancers badmouthing editors or whatever. There are rare occasions, like Waid with Didio, or Rucka with both DC and Marvel Editorial (although he's back freelancing for Marvel now). irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Feb 28, 2014 |

I know they split into the official and secret teams, but every time there's a huge event they split or change the Avengers books, it seems. irlZaphod posted:If you want to go back further, Brian Bendis has a long run as main Avengers writer/architect. In my opinion, it had some highs, but really was the victim of too many event books (and constantly changing status quos), and later bendis kinda phoning it in. Here's a recommended order of reading stuff (Event books are marked with a *):

Yeah she still turns invisible. She was having trouble controlling it during Fraction's run, leading to parts of her skin (but nothing below the skin) turning invisible.

Simonson wanted a new mentor for the New Mutants, to replace Xavier/Magneto, but someone a bit more hard-edged or militant, so Liefeld came up with Cable's design. They had no real backstory for him, though.

Senor Candle posted:I think they are a lot better now at letting some books just go without the tie-ins and keeping the damage down. Hawkeye has no place being a part of any major event so its been left alone. I also think Hickman is basically doing what Kirkman wanted to do. Other than starting out of Dark Reign his FF didn't cross over with anything that I know of. Infinity was his event and a core part of the story he's telling, but we'll see how Original Sin goes. El Gallinero Gros posted:Peter David quit books over it, so yes. Kirkman could have wrapped all his Marvel work and focused on his creator-owned stuff without being a big baby about it but whoops

He wrote Marvel Team-Up too, which was pretty good.Alien Rope Burn posted:Is there a source for this? It feels weird that you'd have tie-ins as numerous as Civil War had without some amount of arm-twisting. And there's the classic bit there a comic has to wind up or wind down centering around a crossover, as well.

Alien Rope Burn posted:Of the crossovers New Avengers bumps into (Civil War, House of M, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, Siege, Fear Itself, and Avengers vs. X-Men), Bendis had a hand in five out of those seven crossovers. So while it's a fair criticism, a lot of them were his babies, with only Civil War and Fear Itself being written by others, and Avengers vs. X-Men being written by committee with Bendis on board. If anybody had the ability to plan around the crossovers being written, it should have been Bendis.

Metal Loaf posted:Were the Power Pack a really big deal in the mid-1980s? I've never read their series but they seem to show up in a lot of crossovers, and in some of them they seem like kind of an odd fit - off the top of my head, Katie Power shows up in a Barry Windsor-Smith issue of X-Men where Wolverine spends the entire story getting slaughtered by Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers I don't think that there was anything to it other than writers wanting to promote Power Pack, the Mutant Massacre tie-in was because Simonson was writing X-Factor, the Thor tie-in would have been because (Walt) Simonson was on that book, and Claremont and Simonson were good friends so he would have wanted to help out her book. iirc Power Pack was one of the first books available exclusively in the Direct Market, so I do think Marvel wanted it to do well, too.

It was great, she was hunting Skrulls in Madripoor and the art totally owned I do think they put a lot of love into it, they were just putting it out with the intention of turning it into one of those lovely gimmicky motion comics, then they pulled the plug because sales weren't great or something. It was a good, if short-lived, series though. Like S.W.O.R.D., it was too good for this lovely world.

I started reading comics at the tail end of Mackie's Spider-Man run, just as JMS was taking over, and Romita Jr was artist on it. I really liked his art a lot through that whole run, and he was one of my favourite artists at the time. I did the same as you and read through Claremont's X-Men stuff, and I love his art on that too. On his recent stuff, like Avengers and Kick rear end, I've really gone off it a lot, though.

BadAstronaut posted:Hey guys. Just how far back do I need to go to get the most out of House of M? I wouldn't really read much outside of the main House of M mini really, either. A lot of the rest of it was pretty crap to be honest. I think Mark Waid did a HoM: Spider-Man series which wasn't bad. The one-shot Brubaker did in his Cap run was pretty great too (that was actually what got me reading his Cap, funnily enough).

BadAstronaut posted:I thought there was a ton of back story and it was a major event with loads of comics and tpb's spinning out of it...? Maybe what I'll do when I get home later is post the x men and avengers I do own and you guys can suggest a reading order, or one or two purchases that would enrich the experience? I have 15 hours of flights on Thursday and Friday and look forward to diving into this... Like I said, there were a lot of tie-ins (which fleshed out the world of House of M), but most of the ones I read were not very good. The Spidey tie-in was pretty good because it had a great premise. Also, at the time there was a book called District X, which was about Bishop being a cop in the Mutant ghetto. During House of M, there was a tie-in mini to that called Mutopia X, which was also quite good from what I remember. After HoM, District X was cancelled though. The fallout from it, Decimation, had a couple of interesting moments, but sort of sucked in general. It only really affected the X-Men too. There was some post-House of M stuff in New Avengers (starting in issue #16 I think), but again it wasn't great.

If you're looking for something to read then you should read Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers through to Infinity, because it's about a billion times better than House of M.

I wouldn't say "stop with Bendis" after House of M, I still think New Avengers was mostly fantastic (Vol. 1, at least). It's just a problem because as soon as there's an interesting status quo for the book, another event comes along and changes it, and the event books get worse as time goes on. House of M itself though, outside of the main mini, is nothing remarkable. It's worth reading, sure, but if you're looking for a long epic with a lot of lead-in and fall-out to take up a 15 hour flight, you're not going to find it there.
