The latest Howard is quite something. I kinda want to call it self felating meta nonsense, but that would imply that I didn't totally enjoy it. Chip Zdarsky is an interesting writer...

Chipp may have literally killed Howard off.

Just read it, I quite enjoyed the meta stuff

Zdarsky also wrote a story for this week's choosing sides that features a boxing match between iron man and Justin Trudeau

They'll have planned to essentially reboot the character in time for the movie anyway, so I guess they don't care that much how she comes off right now.

I hadn't thought about that, it's possible

Is Civil War II like Civil War I in the sense that the tie-ins are going out of their way to make one side look worse, but the main title looks more neutral about it? (I've not been following CWII.)

In the newest issue of the main cw2 book Carol brings the ultimates along to arrest a woman Ulysses says has a bomb but it's really just an empty briefcase. She still detains the woman and when other members of the group tell her to let the woman go Carol tells them to gently caress off and orders shield to find evidence to keep the woman locked up.

Civil war 2 will roll into the global initiative which will roll into secret invasion 2: We warned you about Badoons which will roll into dark rule

What in saying is everything after civil war 2 will show how bad carol and co hosed everything up and how stupid they are.


lol zdarsky said this exact thing is the choosing sides short

I liked Hyperion but it was a pretty WTF story to open with, and the premise was really weird too.

"Hyperion, you just died fighting the beyonders with Thor, were resurrected, beheaded Namor, what are you going to do now?"
"Drive a semi-truck around America."

I get that Marvel was going for diversity and all but is there like a contingent of loyal Marvel reading truck drivers of America out there?

And the baddies for the god-tier entity's solo debut were evil carnies

X-O posted:

Maybe don't continue to read books you don't like? That's a waste of money. I on the other hand really enjoyed that book and will miss it.

I want to see Hyperion stories though :(

I really wanted to like Nighthawk but it really seemed confused tonally in that it clearly wanted to be a Punisher book where the bad guys that get killed are corrupt cops but Marvel was like lol no way and so they just skirted the line as close as they could and then complained in the dialogue that they couldn't do the story they wanted.

If you're trying to differentiate all of the different Super Scientists from each other, having Hank be the one who goes "I WONDER WHAT THIS DOES?" and then does it without thinking out the consequences isn't a bad direction to take him in, given that the only reason he's blue and furry is that back in the 1970s he pretty literally made a serum and went I WONDER WHAT THIS DOES and whoops, mutated into a blue furry dude.

Wait so it wasn't even like in first class where he was trying to cure himself and the serum just didn't work, but he just took some random poo poo to see what it did? lol

It was originally a temporary transformation that could be reversed if he drank a counter-serum within a certain time limit and Beast thought it would be a great idea to run around in his new form. He immediately chanced upon a break-in, and a guard bust in and saw a big monster so shot Beast like 12 times in the chest, which led to the amazing dialogue of. "Stop.... shooting... me!"

Hank then passed out in an alley and woke up past his time limit, and thus was stuck as a blue doof forever.

Poor Cinderella

At least he's now somewhat iconic and not generic beefy white dude though

Lisa Halloran, who's studying to be a paramedic.

I was just thinking that if this is a Miss America book, that Gillen keeps Lisa around. She hasn't shown up much, but she's fun when she does.

I would hope so since she's even made an appearance or two in ultimates, it's not like it's been a while since we've seen her...unless they somehow kill her in cw2 which I dunno why they would

TwoPair posted:

I thought Kate was already getting a solo after CW2 or did I just imagine that?

Ummm I dunno but sounds good to me!

Google says you're right, so I will switch to hoping this Gillen project is a Ms America book!

Only because Paul Rudd laughing like an idiot while being a giant dude and Spidey dropping Empire Strike Back references as a "really old movie" was hilarious.

A Kamala (or Miles or Sam) movie is something I would kill for but god knows we'll never get one.

I'm still surprised the new spider man wasn't miles

Is the Sony deal for spider man tied to Peter Parker specifically?
