So this weekend I finally got around to reading Hickman's FF run and as someone who hadn't really read any FF I actually really got into it. But the reason I'm posting about it is the memorial for Johnny issue and the scene where Thor and Hulk take Ben out to the desert so Ben can let out his anger on them, plus the way Hickman was able to do it without any dialogue, kinda got me in the feefees a little, which I'd say is an accomplishment since I had no prior emotional investment in the characters.

Squizzle posted:Twice a year, the managing editor for the X-office flips a coin four times to determine if Xavier spends the next six months alive or dead, with the X-men or off to find himself, paraplegic or ambulatory, and powered or powerless. Ah, the star trek style of plotting.

Continuing my campaign of stuff I should've read last year, I slammed through all of Alias last night and it was really good. Compared to the JJ show it was cool seeing her actually just work on random cases. Kinda makes me respect JJ even more now, since they managed to get a whole 13 hour season out of what ended up being just a 4 issue arc. One thing I wondered about that I wish I had taken a screen of since I can't remember the issue, it seemed as if in her time as Jewel she may have ran into Thor after he did... something to a woman, which is sketchy af.

After reading some squirrel girl i wanted to read some more funny meta stuff so I picked up Gwenpool even though I don't read any of the spider or deadpool books and I actually ended up really liking it. I normally would think the art would be kinda too cartoony for my taste but it fits the tone of the book well. I guess she's a brand new character and I know nothing about the writer so hopefully it'll stay good.

Ultimates was sweet. Al Ewing is definitely carrying the Hickman high-concept torch. And I am officially rad at being squirrel girl! site fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Apr 27, 2016 |

Perhaps I am using the term incorrectly then, I mean like the story taking place on a really high level cosmically, or whatever. It's dealing with outside the universe and the nature of reality itself. If that makes any more sense.

Okay so I got curious and checked the marvel site and it does have Gurihiru listed as the artist for the next two issues so maybe it was just a guest artist

Xinder posted:Wait that's an actual established thing about his character? I thought they were just using weird comic book liquid time where the world gets progressively more modern but nobody ever gets any older except when sometimes they do. Actually thinking about it he may just look however he wants cuz there's that scene in ff i think where he's talking with Galactus at the heat death of the universe and I don't remember him looking super old

I wanna say i saw her briefly in something soon after sw ended, like an avengers book or something, but i could be wrong Toxxupation posted:Franklin and especially Valeria Richards both rule and you should absolutely, at the bare minimum, read Hickman's Fantastic Four/FF run considering it's probably the best run of comics that Marvel has put out this century. Young Valeria is awesome but i kinda got the impression that upgrading Lunella to smartest person in the marvel u means that we won't be seeing V return any time soon

Squizzle posted:It only seems off to me because why not use one of the other Hyperions already running around the Marvel universe? And the obvious answers are that Hickman's story wanted an incursion refugee there, and the other Hyperions all have some baggage. Weren't all the previous incarnations of Hyperion villains? It seems to me it would just be easier to grab an alternate u good guy version at that point. Tbh I'd rather just see the miracleman u that already exists get more issues. I was reading the reprints marvel did last year (?) and just the stories about the people living in that place were cool, so was the art. Plus wasn't he kind of an rear end in a top hat dictator by the end? I guess they could've made him a bad guy or something, but it would be weird to bring him in as a hero.

Rhyno posted:Well the last issue of the reissue series reprinted the original #19 so there's 5 finished issues ready to go as well as #25 that was written, penciled and inked 20 years ago. Buckingham said he was ready to tear into the series when Fables ended and that was over a year ago. Something is clearly up since the reprints have gone on hiatus. Hmmm my completely baseless guess would be that they're holding off on putting out the rest of what they got till Gaiman actually sits down to start writing the last issues.

Once issue 4 came out and Carol was well on her way to totalitarian shitbag I'm not really interested in the story itself so much as curious as to how bendis and/or the capt marvel creative team is gonna try and salvage her character.

Okay, just now getting to this and Gwen accidentally killing herself with Laura's claws was pretty funny. Tato posted:Yeah, I've actually read quite a bit of the tie-ins and every one that isn't Captain Marvel makes me detest her as a character more and more. It's really a remarkable bit of character assassination, I can't fathom how anyone at Marvel thought she would come off well in this. It is kinda weird that (it feels like) marvel has been building up Carol as like the superheroine of the mu and they decided to just throw all that away. I wonder what brought them to the decision to use her of all people.
