Has there been a company wide crossover that's been as well received as SW?

Also I've been inspired to read the Korvacs saga, expect my hot takes on how stilted and unnatural comic book writing was in the past imminently.

They're waiting for me to catch up on the Battlefield thread. Issue #7 has major spoilers for the fate of YOSPOS and they want to give me the chance to tell my part of that story first.

I've assumed that it's mostly delayed because of Ribic, but I cant know that for sure obviously. If that is that case though, wouldnt people rather have it delayed and not have multiple artists?

I mean even with the delay, we get 9 issues in 8/9 months. Sure it was delayed but considering past events were delayed to be less issues in more months, in hindsight this is still successful, no?

This will probably be a backlist seller for a looooong time. Look at how well COIE sold in trade, well over a decade past its original publication. Not that I know what goes on in Brevoort's or Alonso's mind, but I'm pretty goddamn certain that keeping the SW trade attractive and coherent takes precedence over preventing (relatively) short delays.

Hickman's Av/NAv run made it clear thatan incursion-ended reality is erased, not stopped: its entire timeline exists, past and future, until the incursion annihilates the universe. At that point, the entire timeline, past and future, ceases to be. I assume that, as part of the same big saga, the same rules apply here to a universe's creation—that the whole of time exists for Battleworld, past and future.

We've already seen Kang, and he didn't say "btw everything more than like a decade ago is a yawning void of horseshit and screaming ghosts", so.

I also like how time travel itself has different rules depending on which device you use to travel. Like Doom's time travel machine is unique in one way while Kang travels in another way and it just gets weirder and weirder.

When people :nono: about a Marvel time-travel plot not following the Grunewald Rules, I imagine them flabbergasted whenever they see an airplane, shouting "THAT'S NOT HOW BOATS WORK!" toward the sky.

Layla Miller did at one point get her future knowledge from future Doom so maybe she'll make another big comeback!

I bet she's pissed that she now knows all there is to know about the future of a dumb broken universe that no longer exists. :rip: 616, you made Layla Miller useful.

P. neat that Hickman worked the offhand destruction of the X-men into his longform dissolution of the Fantastic Four.

What do you mean by this?

Hickman's whole saga, most especially the Fantastic Four and Avengers bits, built to the Fantastic Four breaking up so that the Richards family can be explorer-gods while Ben goes to space and Johnny makes out with his ex's mom. That's the longform dissolution of the FF.

The X-books right now are dealing with the terrigen mists wiping out mutants. As part of Hickman's Infinity event, which is one section of the saga mentioned above, Black Bolt released the terrigen mists into the larger world. This wasn't a key part of Hickman's saga, so I described it as "offhand".

And that's :thejoke:

I've looked at a lot of religious artwork in my day, so I give comics a pass on any badly-drawn child that looks better than baby Jesus usually did.

Salvador Larocca traces a bunch, as well, but he actually puts effort into composition and keeping characters' appearances consistent, instead of rearranging the same 20-some pieces of jackoff material for every job.

Land is bad. Might be a lovely human being, but as a comic artist, he is a lazy motherfucker who churns out hack trash.
