Avengers totally owns but if you're not feeling it by #18 I don't think what comes later will change your mind. Maybe stick with it through Infinity and see how you feel then. The problem is that it becomes heavily intertwined with New Avengers later - you can't really read one without the other.

muscles like this? posted:While not bad art I did drop that new Bucky series after the first issue because the art was so incomprehensible. Gaz-L posted:I've been too lazy to click the cancel subscription button in Comixology, but... yeah, I'd possibly like the book a LOT more if I could tell what was going on (though the whole 'Winter Soldier IN SPACE' thing isn't really my bag anyway. ). I'm fairly sure the letterer can't even tell. At one point in the first issue, there's a conversation between Bucky and Daisy, and I'm pretty sure the speech bubbles are assigned randomly. I added the series to my pull when it was announced because I like Bucky a lot, but then about a week before #1 came out I heard it was a "Bucky in Space" series, and was pretty disappointed. I had similar feelings about the first issue as yourselves, but I actually kinda liked the 2nd issue a lot.

Moonstar's powers changed a bunch, she went from being able to show people their greatest fears, to being able to see an image of Death over people who were going to die, to just being able to create illusions based on a person's desires or fears. Then she lost her powers, obviously. Psylocke's powers kinda changed too, when she originally appeared in Marvel UK comics, she was more of a Clairvoyant than a telekinetic. She's obviously changed a bunch further over the years then.

The Gillen/McKelvie/Norton/Wilson et al Young Avengers was great. They did 15 issues and wrapped up what they wanted to say with it. It was a really nice self-contained series.

I know the Clone Saga was long, but I didn't think it was 12 tpbs long. I guess 4 books a month for several years all ads up. Also I love how everyone forgets the single most stupid thing about the whole story. Norman Osborn kidnapped Aunt May and hired an actress to pretend to be her for an unspecified length of time. The actress was so into her role that even when she was on her loving deathbed she didn't break character. Osborn had literally no reason to do this considering he kept Aunt May alive the entire time. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Jul 19, 2015 |

Define "disaster"? As I understand, it sold really well (at the beginning, at least), and I think it was popular at first also. The problem was when they started drawing it out for longer and longer, and kept changing their minds about how it was going to end.

Skwirl posted:What are some of the longest delays in comics. Like, off the top of my head Planetary took forever to finish, Neil Gaiman's run on Miracleman still hasn't technically finished, that dude from Carnivale (or Lost, cn't remembr which over rated show he wrote for) wrote a five part Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine series, but their was a multi-year gap between issue 2 and 3. Kevin Smith took about a year to finish his Spider-Man thing and I know their was some delay for Bendis' version of Secret War. I'm basically asking if I've forgotten one. The Bendis Secret War had some delays but I don't remember them being too serious - months, rather than years. Astonishing X-Men was plagued with delays, even though they took a scheduled break after the first "season" to let Cassaday get ahead. My favourite is Daredevil: End of Days. I'm pretty sure I quit comics and picked them back up again at least two separate occasions between that getting "announced" (to be fair, it was never actually solicited at the time) and it actually getting published. It's a different situation because it was actually published regularly once it came out (I'm fairly sure it was all done before they solicited it, though), I was just struck by just how long it took to come out. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Aug 27, 2015 |

OldTennisCourt posted:I understand the point, I guess it just feels like there are tons of other heroes too and you'd think they'd get lumped in to with the whole 'incredibly powerful heroes who could basically take over if they wanted' thing. I understand mutants have that fear of evolving and replacing humans in that respect, but I can only recall Civil War where the general Marvel heroes as a whole got the same treatment on some level.

Secret Wars is doing the same, switching from 8 to 9 issues. To answer the OPs question, you're not going to know without checking really. Some series are launched as ongoing, but because of sales effectively turn into mini-series. Other ongoing series (particularly Image books) will be ongoing but with a defined end point. Others will just be launched as mini-series. The best thing to do is check the cover, check solicitations, or if you're still not sure just ask in the store (or Google if you're not buying digitally). Marvel are usually quite good at labeling their series as mini-series if they are launched as such.

The Spider-Totem stuff I enjoyed. Even if you don't like it as a story, it's not even in the same league as stuff like Chapter One or Sins Past. Having said that, it was kind of messed up by The Other, which was just bad. I don't know if it would have been ok had it not been turned into a crossover, but who knows. The original story from ASM v2 #30-35 was pretty great.

Wheat Loaf posted:It's kind of weird that, in Claremont's second or third issue on X-Men, he'd already decided to kill off one member of the new team, and it came down to a choice between Wolverine and Thunderhawk. Imagine how different things may have turned out if it had gone the other way. I reckon he would've been back before too long.  Also I believe the story goes that Claremont didn't really like Wolverine at all, and Byrne convinced him to keep him on the team later when they were working together. I think once they started developing his character more, Claremont became more attached to him. I do like the subsequent story that Claremont basically convinced Miller to collaborate with him on the Wolverine limited series while they drove to SDCC.

Wheat Loaf posted:He wrote X-Men on a bi-monthly basis for most of the late 1970s; I think he had his run on Iron Fist around the time he started and then wrote some of Team-Up while X-Men was still coming out six times a year. He didn't write Avengers regularly - he only wrote Annual #10 off the top of my head. He would have written some Captain Britain around this time as well, although I believe those tended to be shorter stories for reprint in British anthology titles. He wrote a couple of X-Factor stories (including the one where Apocalypse infects Baby Nate with the T-O virus) right before the early 90's X-title reshuffle. I think they were co-written with Jim Lee though. But yeah, he was never the regular writer on it. I mean, he was pretty sore when the book was launched in the first place, and then Simonson took over and wrote it for a lot of its early run. I think his biggest output would have been when he was working on both Uncanny and New Mutants (he wrote up to #54 or so of it) plus whatever else he was working on at the time (usually some other X-Men minis).

Millar is a very nice person but I generally do not enjoying reading his books. People who are saying that they don't like his work aren't saying he's an arsehole or anything. Just that his humour and I guess to an extent his personality seeps into his work a lot.

Sinners Sandwich posted:I've been reading the X-men through Marvel Unlimited and now entering the post Muir Island era. Things seem to be getting complicated with a lot of backstage stuff like the Image Exodus. Could someone give me a little primer on what things are going to be like both in story and outside stuff like Claremont/Lee creative differences and Talent stuff? I haven't read much of that era, but basically you're heading into a lot of crossovers (X-cutioner's Song, Phalanx Covenant, AoA, Onslaught etc up as far as 1996 anyway). I think the above-mentioned book plus another one, Comic Creators on X-Men, would clue you in more to the behind-the-scenes stuff, since it's all straight from the horses mouths. I haven't read Marvel Comics: The Untold Story but the other book has some really insightful interviews between the individual creators and Tom DeFalco, all the way up to the likes of Morrison and Millar in the early 2000s.
