I'm kind of surprised they set aside a section of Battleworld for Doctor Strange and yet he hasn't get his own book. On a related note, anyone noticed Mightygodking (of 'I Should Write Doctor Strange' fame) hasn't been posting on his site lately?  As for me: I'll try out Renew Your Vows, Get Spider-Island (I'm there for the MC2 stories above all, though), A-Force, Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders, Secret Wars 2099, Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars, Thors, X-Men '92, and Captain Marvel. Plus I'll keep getting Ms. Marvel & the other books carrying on/doing Last Days I'm already reading.

Len posted:I wonder just how long he's been planning all of this. Since his Ultimates run? Maybe back with Fantastic Four? I think Brevoort stated in interviews that Hickman come up with it back when he was starting out on Fantastic Four. Of course, that could all be a load of bullshit, but considering the length of the lead-in, he's had plenty of time to map things out. One thing that bothers me, though: why do they keep referring to the Marvel Universe in the memorial as starting in 1961? They just last year had a 75-year anniversary celebrating Marvel Comics #1, where the first Human Torch showed up-not to mention Cap showed up 20 years before FF#1. Did that get erased from Marvel canon when I wasn't looking?

The only completely original think Ultimates did was a thing called Ultimate Adventures, and that was a Batman pastiche. Still, it was pretty good for what it was. It was actually part of a bet between Jemas and some other guys over who could make the most successful new series series. Jemas' contribution? Marville.

Lurdiak posted:I kinda miss when something could end without the cast just getting nuked. You could just imagine they were still having adventures together, they just weren't being published anymore. That's not always safety-Avengers Academy ended pretty well, and then they decided to revisit them in Avengers Arena. Spider-Girl had ended years before, in an 'The End' one-shot no less, and then Dan Slott ruined everything. If you can't do anything good with a character, writers, don't do anything at all.

Here's some interesting news on Secret Wars & what comes after. They seem to be hinting at a revival of Exiles with that comment about heroes from dead universes. That, or they'll all be emigrating to 616.

Barry Convex posted:Marvel has pretty much confirmed, more than once, that there's a new Dr. Strange book coming after Secret Wars. (Presumably, it was originally going to launch earlier, given that the character is on the Avengers NOW! preview art from last year and that every other book represented there has since materialized, AFAIK.) No Mightygodking, no sale.

Dacap posted:Ultimate End was also kind of confusing in that Bagley drew a lot of people in the wrong costumes. Not to mention, Scott and Peter should be on the Illuminati's life raft, while 616 Tony should be dead.

ElNarez posted:No it is, it literally reminds you that there is only one America Chavez in the entire multiverse God, I hate the idea of there being only one version of a character in the multiverse, especially for such a low-level character like America Chavez. I mean that makes sense for the Anti-Monitor, since he wipes out entire universes, but America isn't exactly anything special. Why SHOULD there only be one of her? The marvel multiverse was theoretically infinite, why is there only one of her? It's right up there with 616 somehow being magically unique. It's the one we read books about, dammit, that should be enough to make us care instead of making it the focal point of the multiverse.

Sentinel Red posted:Inferno was terrible. The original was no great shakes but this felt like the writer had spent 30 seconds on Wikipedia to get the gist and knows sweet F.A. about the actual details. It's Dennis Hopeless, that's par for the course.

Elucidarius posted:I mean, I guess in the grand scheme of Battleworld I didn't see how it fit. Why couldn't these people just ask Doom to move them to a new kingdom? I'll probably buy #2 but I just felt like it would make more sense on its own not tied into anything. Endless Mike posted:Chris Sims talked about it on Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men and in he and Chad Bowers' original pitch for X-Men '92, they talked about sending them to all those '90s locales like Genosha and Madripoor and editorial nixed it, explaining that they're not on a whole planet, so I wonder if different editors are using different sized sections. I recommend everyone listen to that episode of Rachel & Miles, it's amazing.  Albeit with very mild spoilers for X-Men '92.

Lurdiak posted:Spider-man's wall-sticking powers were explained as bioelectically-generated static cling in the handbooks. Probably due to a combination of finger hairs being super gross and painful and how Spidey always has gloves on. Yeah, they actually had Electro once figure it out and manage to disrupt his powers. Also Spider-Girl developed the power to repel stuff and stick other people to the same surface she was on.

I'll be honest, I kind of liked Peter's interaction with MJ & Maybelle more than RYV. Also Tony's kind of a dick to not let the family reunite for 6 loving years.

TwoPair posted:OML is so good I literally cannot believe it's Bendis writing. Like, it must be some kind of Jekyll and Hyde thing where he goes to sleep, writes Old Man Logan, and then wakes up shocked to find a finished script on his desk when he sits down to bang out some terrible X-Men comics. I think there's a similar thing going on with Dan Slott and Renew Your Vows.

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.

Only thing I'm not 100% on is why, in-universe, the Ultimate Universe got destroyed. Like, at all. I mean I get that they wanted to import Miles over, but what exactly caused the Ultimate Universe to bite the big one, if 616 got restored at the end?
