Mr Hootington posted:Scott and Emma was much better  Codependent Poster posted:Just please don't put Jean with Wolverine. That poo poo needs to be over, too. I'm hoping - and I know this is a novel step but I'm keeping my fingers crossed - that they don't feel the need to "pair up" Jean - a character who has for virtually her entire existence been defined by the characters around her - with anyone. Let the poor girl stand on her own two feet for a bit.

As stupid as dual-numbering can be (and I'd argue that it's possible to do it right... maybe), it's still preferable to straight up renumbering, IMHO.

Lobok posted:Just seems weird with Beta Ray Bill having his gold Stormbringer. Hell, after Jane maybe they should have made Bill Thor or made him the main character. Stormbringer actually is why Gold Mjolnir works for me; it makes it seem like "newly-cast uru metal is gold, and it's only after centuries that the finish tarnishes to the grey that Mjolnir was." Which is as headcanon-y as it gets, admittedly, but it makes sense, so I'm gonna stick with it.

You're making my theory not work and I hate that.  Also everyone should read Luke Cage #170. Just read it. You will thank me later.

X-O posted:My point wasn't that Hickman wouldn't get to do Eternals, it was that he's not coming in just to do Eternals. If they get him back they're going to want him on a big title in addition to whatever little ones he may want to do as well. Pretty sure that if Hickman went to Marvel and said "I wanna write the Eternals" and Marvel replied with "okay but you have to write the X-Men too" or something he'd probably shrug and say "well, it was nice talking to you, bye."

Teenage Fansub posted:Her aim is completely different from Gurihiru's and it's not through some ineptitude. I dunno if she's waking up every day cursing her inability to go cloyingly cute with the character. Using a standalone piece of art as an argument against hiring that person to do sequential, story-based art is kinda ridiculous, my man Like, of course that piece is aggressively cute, it's pretty clearly meant to be aggressively cute. That doesn't mean Gurihiru is incapable of drawing SG any other way, as site's example demonstrates; all it means is that that style matched the aims of the piece they were trying to do.

Android Blues posted:Lee undoubtedly stole the spotlight and was repeatedly unfairly typified as the "creator" of the Marvel universe, but yeah, saying that he was just leeching off Kirby/Ditko's work is really unfair. Kirby's solo joints tended to be quirky, strange and wonderful, but they often lacked the human element that Stan used to centre the early Marvel universe and give the comics their soapy, melodramatic edge. Ditko's solo stuff meanwhile was gorgeously drawn libertarian ranting that was closer to The Illustrated Fountainhead than Spider-Man. As Chris Sims notes in the column linked above, even if all Stan Lee did was keep Spider-Man from being an Objectivist Randian Superman, that in and of itself is pretty damned great.

Doom's time machine stops Spider-Man from changing his past for the extremely simple reason that if it didn't, we wouldn't get a story about Current Spider-Man teaming up with Past Spider-Man to beat up all his baddies before they could do all their nefarious poo poo while double-quipping all the time like the world's most spider-y stand-up duo. Stop overthinking this poo poo, Jesus EDIT: Yeah, definitely we should make our Spidey Time Travel story reduce to "oh no I must not let anyone in the past know I'm here or have knowledge of the future, who knows what kind of dire consequences that could have" like every other comic book time travel story in recorded history, Christ

Synthbuttrange posted:Hows the Immortal Hulk avengers issue? okay? meh? must see? I actually quite liked it, but this felt like a pretty Ewing-heavy issue (lots of U.S.Avengers bits, too), so YMMV. It was certainly a cleaner and more character-driven story than I'd expected.

Skwirl posted:Sauron is an X-Men villain. That panel is from Spider-Men and the X-Men. And yet the one who wants to turn people into dinosaurs is Stegron the Dinosaur Man, an Spider-Man villain. So, y'know. (the whole gimmick of Spider-Man and the X-Men was that each issue had a Spider-Man baddie and an X-Men baddie teaming up)

Covok posted:So, let's actually talk about Marvel Comics. How does everyone feel about Spectacular Spider-Man? I finally read the first three issues and while I do like the series it does feel all over the place. It feels like it keeps jumping to a new tone and adventure. It started out as just dealing with some people using stolen Tech and a hacked phones. Now he's dealing with alternate timelines and it's all the same storyline. I actually really like the pacing; it feels like the way Spider-Man's life must feel. We start off looking into hacked phones and all of a sudden we're in way the gently caress over our head and there's alternate timelines and everything is fuckin' crazy and yet here's Spider-Man, muddling by with virtually no long-term planning ability and getting by on talent and a snarky attitude. Always, always in over his head and racing to try and catch up with the pace of his life, never really getting a chance to get his feet under him and take a breath. It feels really appropriate to me.

site posted:Okay tell me why they're good Because the Internet has limitations, for one thing. Like, if I want to know about some story Doctor Octopus was in 20 years ago I can read through wiki articles and try to ferret out the details... or I can look at a little box that says "It happened in Amazing Spider-Man #162" and then just go look for that issue, you know? Unfortunately using the Internet to catch up on that kind of little story reference basically requires you - given the way the Comics Internet has decided to compartmentalize information - not just to look up a reference but to immerse yourself in the entirety of a fictional character's biography, and while that can be fun and all, you're not always in the mood. For another thing, it provides a sense of shared continuity and books co-existing with one another without actually requiring a bunch of effort on the part of the reader. If I see a little note saying "It happened in Amazing Spider-Man #162" then I know, just from looking at that box and nothing more, that this is a story that draws on past continuity that I might not be familiar with, and that helps me to feel like I'm reading an installment of a long, ongoing story even if - I'd argue especially if - I never get around to going back and looking at Amazing Spider-Man #162. Just by that little box's existence I know that this is a writer who'll reference past continuity, and presumably has affection for and knowledge of that continuity, and I know that there's an editor somewhere who cares enough to make sure I know that the writer isn't just pulling this story beat out of his rear end. Editor's boxes and footnotes are dumb if you're already a big comics nerd, but not everyone who reads comics is a giant nerd and I don't think it's a bad thing to throw those folks a proverbial bone. EDIT: I do like it when books supply the referential info in backmatter, like Teenage Fansub just mentioned; especially when it's books that are continuity porn like Busiek's Avengers Forever. If more books did that there'd be less need for footnotes, but not many do, more's the pity.
