Metal Loaf posted:I like Bagley; I believe he pencilled Thunderbolts for a while and I liked that a lot. Personally I love Mark Bagley's art; I find that he excels at telling stories. I very rarely read a Bagley-drawn book and spend any time wondering what the gently caress is actually happening on-panel, which is something I wish I could say about more artists. Mileage, of course, varies. My perceptions may be colored by the fact that he was the original New Warriors (v1!) artist and I love that book beyond all healthy reason.

Yeah, as much as I adore Hickman's writing, I'm not sure he'd be the right fit for Spider-Man. Like, at all.

Codependent Poster posted:Did you read FF at all? Yes, and that story was brilliant, but it wasn't a Spider-Man story. It was a Johnny Storm story that had Peter Parker in it. Unless you're talking about a twelve-issue story arc where the Centaurian lady comes back to Earth trying to get Spider-Man into bed and Wacky Hijinks Ensue, which I would, granted, buy the hell out of... but something tells me that's not the kind of book Marvel's gonna get behind.

Waterhaul posted:Yeah fridging is a comic book term and used by a specific audience. Fridging is a comic book term, but in recent years I've seen it referenced more and more in other 'fandoms' such as those for TV shows; it's a useful shorthand that's grown beyond its original context. That doesn't make the line any less clunky - though admittedly I laughed at it - but to say "only comic nerds know this turn of phrase" is a little myopic.

Skwirl posted:Did anyone like Hawkeye that much before the Fraction/Aja book? Personally, I always liked him in that way where you find yourself liking a character for no real reason. The way Buseik wrote him in Thunderbolts helped a lot.

Lurdiak posted:Well I liked Hawkeye before it was cool.  One of the earlier comics I owned was that West Coast Avengers annual where Hawkeye saved all of creation by conning the Grandmaster and Captain America was looking at him like he couldn't decide whether or not he approved, it was glorious. Always dug him since then. That said, if I had to point at a reason for his recent popularity it'd be threefold: 1) Buseik's use of him in Avengers and Thunderbolts, which really solidified his characterization in the modern age; 2) Bendis killing him and bringing him back, which did the whole "absence makes the heart grow finder" bit, and 3) Fraction and Aja's solo series, for obvious reasons. Like, I don't know that the later reasons would have happened without the earlier ones, is kind of my point.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Okay, the pokemon references in Silk have been cute so far but Johnny Storm and Peter playing an original Pokemon game on a huge flatscreen with PS4 controllers is too much. ...I do appreciate Peter looking smug since it looks like his squirtle beat Johnny's bulbasaur somehow. Dude, it's the Fantastic Four. Reed probably got irritated that his kids kept demanding new games that were on new-gen consoles so he just up and built a FantastiBox that plays every kind of video game ever made. Then Val made it even better, somehow. ...dammit, I want this to have happened.

I'm guessing that once he went back to the Flash and it was terrible and no one liked it his opinion might have soured a touch.

Tato posted:It's neat to see some 2099 characters like Venom and Goblin return in the new arc, I've been a bit disappointing in the "Miguel's 2099 is corrupted" story as it has kept us from having any fun cameos like the Punisher 2099 one during Spiderverse. The new Spidey 2099 custom still sucks though. Tell me you've been reading Contest of Champions.

Wanderer posted:I don't think Marvel is trying to sell May as hard as DC is shilling Jason, either. May is more like this vaguely-neglected continuity corner that nonetheless has some fans. Mayday is this thread's Squirrel Girl. Forgotten, raised only as a joke, unknown to most fans. But there's hope! Once a writer comes along who makes her an Avenger's go-to babysitter, Yvonmukluk will be deluged in books and be so happy.

Yeah, Clone Conspiracy managed to underperform expectations. Which, given how low expectations were to begin with, is pretty impressive. It was at least pretty-looking.
