The first part of the Squirrel Girl/Howard the Duck crossover is the best thing.

Mockingbird was a lot of fun this week. I like that between it and Black Widow Marvel has an action thriller lady spy comic and an action comedy lady spy comic. I also really enjoyed Ben Grimm: Orbital Bombardment in GotG

Gaz-L posted:You should read #6 anyway, though. And buy last month's Squirrel Girl to catch up beforehand. It has Kraven's airbrushed panel Kravan. That's really why I read comic books.

This month's Howard was the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Zdarsky's take on Spider-Man is so good.

Christ, I'm just going to ignore this Captain America bullshit and instead focus on how great Squirrel Girl was this week. I also really enjoyed Mockingbird.

Along those lines, Spider-Woman was phenomenal. Rodriguez's art is just so good.

bobkatt013 posted:My biggest irrational problem with Civil War 2 was it showing Carol drinking. It could have been sparkling grape juice in a champagne flute. Although, when was the last time anybody referred to Carol's old baggage like the alcoholism?

SW might not work as baby's first Marvel, but if you have even a passing familiarity with the characters you can pick things up pretty quickly.

The thing that gets me is that at the moment I don't get the sense that there are sides being formed. It's just Tony lashing out, and everyone else going settle down buddy.

Viridiant posted:The latest Ms. Marvel is finally touching on the themes I was expecting when they first started pitching the idea for Civil War II. It's a little hosed that I'm getting that from one of the tie-ins rather than the main series, but oh well. #CanadianNinjaLivesMatter So far I've read Power Man & Iron Fist, Ms. marvel, and Gwenpool, with Ultimates left to go. And of those three my favorite might've been Gwenpool? It's somehow meta without being cheesy about it.

twistedmentat posted:MRA/GG/Redpill shitheads will be making an issue out the next SG issue no doubt, they can't take a joke. Mole Man going full m'lady(mole'lady?) was a good punchline. The page explaining his deal was equally fantastic Mockingbird also continues to be great, of course Bobbi was dosing Clint with trace amounts of neurotoxin when they were married.

Toxxupation posted:This is a pretty fair examination of Ditko, Kirby, and Lee and how important they all were to the foundation of Marvel. Abraham Riesman wrote a fantastic profile of Stan Lee for Vulture earlier this year. quote:And yet, Lee has no superhuman resistance to the aging process. “My eyesight has gotten terrible and I can’t read comic books anymore,” he recently told Britain’s Radio Times in a rare moment of departure from his usual cheerful, product-promoting talking points. "Not only a comic book, but I can’t read the newspaper or a novel or anything,” he said. “I miss reading 100 percent. It’s my biggest miss in the world. … It's awful to feel a thousand years old."

Circutron posted:Ugh. I was enjoying the whole Carol and Alpha Flight team-up aspect of the book, and Agent Carter's writers were really making things work. Why'd they have to mess with the best she's been for a while now? Are Fazekas and Butters still the writers now? I noticed the most recent issue was written by Ruth Fletcher Gage and Christos Gage.

Anime_Otaku posted:I haven't finished it yet but the ANAD Avengers annual #1 is a pretty nice distraction from the seriousness of Civil War 2. The fanfic extravaganza was good, the only one I didn't care for was the Duck Amok She-Hulk. And ANAD Avengers was the best sort of CW2 tie-in, one that had gently caress all to do with event.

I really liked having the one two punch of Black Widow and Mockingbird this week. Both spy stories, but one is Jason Bourne and the other is Burn Notice.

It's real bad, but the most hilarious thing is that it's not drawn consistently between CW2 #5 and GotG #12, which are taking place mostly simultaneously. Civil War Guardians

Viridiant posted:In the new Captain Marvel, I don't understand why Carol is placing all of Alpha Flight under arrest. Her book was till now doing a pretty good job of making her look better, and especially earlier in this issue I was happy with the standards she was setting. But then she just went over the top again. Her book does a good job of showing the pressure she's feeling, but are her actions are still pretty bogus. She's essentially priming Ulysses pump by feeding him information about the "bad people" isn't she? And she still trusts Ulysses's vision implicitly, which results in the blows in high orbit.

Rhyno posted:about to read Jessica Jones. Hopefully Bendis can rekindle that magic. Resetting Jessica to zero is not the only way to write a solo comic about her e: though the implication that randos from other universes got plopped into 616 when Franklin rebuilt the universe was both amusing and horrifying. howe_sam fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Oct 5, 2016 |
