Mover posted:I feel like they should just make Magneto have superhuman longevity as part of his mutant powers. Secondary mutation or whatever. Let's them ignore the Magneto-baby and such and also plays up his distance from humanity/ability to convince himself that he understands how history moves and repeats itself, however true that might be. I thought magnetism already gave him that? I also know in the cartoon, falling from orbit let Earth's magnetic field recharge him and make him super healthy.

TwoPair posted:Also it raises like a bunch of questions about Secret Wars that I'm like 90% sure Bendis doesn't actually know the answers to. I guess Miles knows his whole universe is gone? Even though nobody else seems to know this, including other carryovers from Ultimate? So does he remember that his mom died and is now back? I haven't read Spider-Man in a long time, and Bendis isn't super strict on continuity anyways. But I remember Miles having that awesome cheeseburger scene with Molecule Man, so it would make sense for him to know things about before Secret Wars.

Inverted Tony and old Steve died at the end of Avengers/ beginning of Secret Wars. Then there was a small reset to 1 year ago. I suppose the writers really wanted to bring back original Tony but keep around old Steve. It makes sense because then Marvel got to publish Captain America: Sam Wilson and Captain America: Steve Rogers concurrently.

Alls i know is that the prediction people made since like a month before this even started will be true. Hydra cap will slowly break down from being too evil and good cap's spirit will take over to redeem him. Like exactly what Rick Jones said in his video message. It's just funny how simultaneously boring and edgy this is being. Sidenote: I think hydra punisher wasn't talking about bringing his family back, but bringing back all the heroes that hydra killed. Like they get to take over the world, kill heroes, then use the cosmic cube to resurrect them so it's like hydra did nothing wrong. Again it's dumb and boring, but it at least gets halfway to interesting.

The thread title is a wasp quote. I don't know the sales but the book was wonderful enough that I expected at least 12 issues. How will the trade even be collected? Will it really get an extra thick paperback?

Happy fantastic 400 pages, you guys! With all this sales talk, I've had a burning question about why comic book shops exist. Like, none of the ones I've gone to have sold regular books or coffee or anything that would naturally bring in the casuals. Larger bookstores I've been to have a pretty sizable and popular section for manga volumes, and another for comic trades, but of course I won't see floppies for sale there. It just doesn't make sense to me that a comic book shop isn't naturally just a corner of a regular bookstore. Is it a hatred of filthy casuals and fake geeks?

Wanderer posted:They used it to get Sam's message past the shield and into the Darkforce dome, didn't they? I thought that was the whole point: to get around the barriers via a message that had secretly always been there. Yup, the point was to have everyone use their best moves at the same time. The cosmic cube, Strange's spell, Hill's assassination, Quasar's blast, and Rocket's bomb. 3/5 of those plans failed. What I don't get is how captain america Sam Wilson is still OK after getting shot. Did the cube heal him? Did he just decide to Also will the dumb kobik stuff get an even mildly satisfying conclusion? My guess is it'll be lame but not offensive, a solid C- in storytelling.

Secret Empires is like if you were writing your first comic and just barfing all of your ideas out at once. It's dumb and badly paced and only a third of it makes sense. But I wouldn't call it terrible, it will have the obvious and boring and happy ending. I started Cosmic Marvel by reading Annihilation and that's the start I recommend for everyone. There's like 8 years of follow up stories and most of them are enjoyable. Nova is still one of my all-time favorites because of it. Ultimates 2 was amazing  . How many books does Ewing get to juggle right now? I know about Black Bolt and USAvengers.

I love that Secret Wars is just a consistently meaningless term made by putting the two most popular words for twelve-year-old boys together. No real hiding, and most fights are just slightly larger than average. Or powerful people talking. Even if there is a war, it's mostly off panel. BTW the fallout for Secret War was Nick Fury going in to hiding, which made his job in Secret Invasion more complicated.

Archyduke posted:I guess technically but wasn't a huge chunk of the lead-in to Secret Wars about the Illuminati becoming increasingly more and more morally compromised, and wasn't, like, the last page before reality was remade Captain America and Iron Man murdering each other? All the super heroes teamed up at the end of both Avengers and New Avengers, except Steve and Tony. Hell, even Thanos and Mr. Sinister pitched in to fight Doom at the very end.

There's a market for people who love to read digital books. And another market for people who hate comic book stores. Like you could put the books on a 2-3 week delay if you're worried so much, but there's definitely a lot of potential profit in doing the online thing. gently caress, even give people an Amazon-integrated wishlist for the trades of what they're currently reading.

TwoPair posted:Well the first storyline of ASM post-Secret Wars ended with Peter shoving Zodiac through some portal to the future so I guess this is when he comes out. Makes sense, I couldn't afford to keep reading after that, but zodiac discovered 1 year of top secret information about hydra and Osborne and all kinds of things. So spiders sent him 1 year into the future so that knowledge would be useless. Except having complete knowledge of the most important events in the past year is pretty darn major. He should be aware of all secrets involving civil war 2 and secret empire and legacy/generations. Edit: that weird m logo is the zodiac for...Scorpio?

If I was a reviewer, I'd give Death of Wolverine a strong B+. It's nice and covers a lot of the character history in just 4 issues. I do wonder why original Wolverine is coming back already. Was Old Man Logan less popular than expected?

The first half of original sin was way better than the second half I think it's all the parts involving nick fury that dragged it down Edit: I still really miss old nick fury. I wish the movies would do what the Avengers assemble cartoon did, bring back the entire character in WW2 and just rename him Joseph Fury

Aphrodite posted:They did, yes. One of the more convincing rumors I saw was that Marvel was trying to downplay mutants, but wanted to absolutely gut fantastic four. The reason being the fantastic four movies were extremely embarrassing to the entire industry. Hopefully that's over now. Or they'll hire writers to end it now, so new books will be out in..... maybe half a year?
