Not that a lot of value was lost there

Kot constantly brings up poo poo like this on twitter in veiled speech and never delivers the smoking gun he always promises. He's also kind of an rear end in a top hat. The type of person where even when you agree with him there's still a feeling that he needs to dial it down like ten notches.

This was a stupid retcon. I wish Nick Fury would come back.

Is Fury Jr. even in any comics at the moment?

Agents of SHIELD, I believe. He's also in Amazing Spider-Man when the Zodiac stuff comes up.


Sentinel Red posted:

Has there been anything to indicate yet which Nick Fury is on the scene post-Battleworld? Is it the hilariously hamfisted son of Nick they conjured up a few years back or the actual Ultimate version? Either way, it wouldn't surprise me if this latest Hill led clusterfuck is simply an excuse to get her out of the picture and put Fury back in the top job, pretty much no one can stand her at this point.

It's explicitly Nick Fury Jr.

It's funny looking at it in historical context like that because except for Hudlin's Black Panther and arguably (I'd argue against it) Marvel Zombies all those contemporary books E&C listed are way better than Nextwave

When they "killed" Johnny, did they do that whole "Oh he's dead for ever and for sure" marketing stuff?

Not really. Hickman was pretty explicit that he knows death in comics is never permanent and was more interested in telling the story than he was trying to convince people that no guys he was TOTALLY dead.

Ms. Marvel, Ms. America, Kid Gladiator, Kate, Mettle and Hazmat (happily together). Though on second thought, Kamala might not fit in that team so well, she's way too nice.
ETA: Which reminds me. At the end of Siege, Ms. America kicks her way out of the universe. Does that mean the Ms. American in ANAD remembers Battleworld etc.? Forgive me if my MU-delayed reading is causing annoying questions.

Loeb got a lot of slack by the people at Marvel because Loeb's writing got lovely after the death of his son. It's not [I[wrong[/I] per say and I'm not unsympathetic, but drat, it's some bad product.

Yeah, and in the tie in issues that is made more clear. In the main series he gets mad about his friend dying in a battle and extrapolates that to "whatever led you to have that battle is wrong even though it saved millions of lives and your superhero friend knew the risks"

At that point the precog is literally only being used to react to world-ending threats, they aren't thoughtcriming anyone yet. Now that may change next issue, and retroactively make Tony right. But for now he's a giant baby.

The thoughtcriming's already begun

Like I'm not even that upset about Banner dying. He's been out of books for a year anyway and this will finally pull the trigger on Cho going full berserker Hulk, which is something that the book's been teasing since the start

Vengeance was an awful book and this totally reads like sour grapes that nobody cared about their character until a competent writer/artist took her over

No, it kind of has to, for the same reason all the other marvel legacy characters are using the same name. You make it clear that this isn't on the same level as Hawkeye r Hulk or Ms. Marvel, especially when the hero in question already has multiple counterparts, and double especially when you have Doom in his book using the Iron Man name.
