Every time I think of the Sentry I remember the big reveal that he was the first guy Rogue had ever slept with, because his powers meant hers didn't matter, or whatever . And Jenkins never quite seemed to grasp why that irritated folks.

SilverSupernova posted:Agreed. On that note I am overjoyed that Infinity Countdown is giving us a Deaths Head/Darkhawk team-up in the coming weeks. I'm buddies with one of the co-writers on D-Hawk (as its fans call him). This is the second time he's gotten to use Death's Head, the second being in X-Men '92. Basically if Marvel gave him the chance to do a DH ongoing he'd doing (almost) for free.

Android Blues posted:The idea of, "we're doing something really interesting...his claws, they get hot now", is hilarious. It's like if a DC rep was like, "a lot of stuff has changed for Batman, and we're exploring some exciting new territory in his new ongoing. For instance, Batman now has a kite." Now I'm having The Other flashbacks.

Is the presence of Skurge who stood alone at Gjallerbru enough for me to give the book a try, with additional Angela and Valkyrie and Thunderstrike because why not? Yeah.

site posted:Cullen seems to be the mediocre guy marvel jobs out to for the books someone in editorial or sales demands but none of the real writers want to deal with Boy, that sure speaks volumes about what the current thinking about the X-men was at the time. That whole giant relaunch just to tread water. Although Blue was much more inoffensive than Gold, so points to Bunn.

Codependent Poster posted:Bagley is an incredible comic book artist, Spider-Man is his best character, and that was him at his prime, so that's no surprise. I still remember being amazed at how good he was penciling two books at the same time. Spidey and New Warriors off the top of my head, but I'm sure he's done it more than once.

I read the first couple issues of Nadia's last series, and it didn't grab me so I hope this one is better. In general because I like good comics and spitefully because it'll get up the right nostril of YouTube pundits who rail about enforced diversity.

Gaz-L posted:The book got much better by the last couple of issues, ironically when it became more about Janet and her dealing with her ex-husband's daughter and her gaggle of child-prodigy friends. It's also the only time I recall the 'infamous' Hank Pym moment being explored from Jan's perspective, which was really interesting and well-done. I keep forgetting just how much stuff I have access to thanks to Marvel Unlimited, so I tried it again after I dropped it and it does get a lot better. quote:(Also are you the dawgstar that posted WAY too many words about Avatar on another forum?)

Having been given the key to the banana plantation with Marvel Unlimited and catching up on, like, everything I do have a question I can probably an answer. When did the Guardians - I guess especially Star-Lord - go from the DnA version to Chris Pratt in space?

Thanks to Marvel Unlimited which is truly my key to the banana plantation I have come around on Gwenpool. Admittedly the most I'd read of her before was appearances in other books like Champions and I don't know if other writers quite 'get' her.

Covok posted:They did not. Waid and Bendis' interpretation sucked. Too much hate for the audience, too little celebration of the medium. Don't know what it says when the new writer gets a character who is literally a comic fan from are world and writers her story as a celebration of the medium...and the old writers who have been writing comics for years and dealing with fans for years make her an rear end in a top hat. At least in Champions it felt like Waid wanted to write the big 'chill out you're in an actual world with consequences' scene with Gwen and she already has that in her own book.

Covok posted:Hastings also did it so, so, so much better with her attempt to be like "let's just ice this bitch-rear end kid because jail means nothing in comics and he will keep committing crimes because lol branding" leading to her favorite superhero, who she was teaming up with to this point and it was all like her dream, arresting her, causing her to tear-up and cry. How do you think Thompson will do with Gwen in WCA?

Thanks to MU, I've been catching up on the current X-books. It's a little gross how Guggenheim has Colossus Nice Guy his way back into Kitty's pants, and also that Kitty is suddenly super into it. Unrelated but irritating, Shadowcat is a fine codename. Just use it again. Although I guess it's either no codename or have a dumb like 'Prestige.'

To say something nice X-related, I'm kind of liking X-Men Bliue, although it was super weird Emma kept talking to teen Scott like he was adult Scott. Mostly I feel bad for all of Emma's character growth over the last, what, twenty years got reversed hard.

Metalshark posted:I'm a huge Kelly Thompson fan and am dying for her to get an X-Book, which will hopefully be announced in July. Check out Rogue & Gambit when they're all on MU, though it still works monthly if you want to check out the first issue, which came out in January. The first issue features some set up at the mansion, and just uses supporting characters in such a wonderful way to convey the X-Men's shared history, familial companionship and incredible gossip tree that so many writers can't get across. Cool. I'll check it out. quote:Oh man, that weird Tykeclops and Emma moment in the Secret Empire issues. Bleh. More recent Emma general direction spoilers: They're seemingly awkwardly pivoting her back to a less villainous/more grey position after the IvX mess, but it's unclear how things will shake out as you could argue that they've swerved hard from having her be a full Mega City One Judge helmeted villain to awkwardly trying to redeem her without making it *too* obvious a pivot. Speaking of vaguely age-inappropriate, there's also this bit where teen Angel looks like he's going to try and start hitting on Sheriff Kira Lee. (If Kira Lee supposed to be somebody? I feel like I missed something with her.) Also X-related, I am genuinely a little disappointed that a plot development that at the same time while being kinda dumb I also liked has been undone, being Jubilee as a vampire. I rather enjoyed Single Vampire Mom Jubilation Lee, at least in theory if not often in practice.

I just caught up on Black Widow myself. I could look at Samnee drawing Widow doing her laundry, to say nothing of superspy hijinks. Since I was on a bit of Waid kick, I also read MU's selection of Champions which didn't go as well.

Onmi posted:Them wanting Carol to be an A-Lister does not equal them knowing how to write Carol like an A-Lister. They write Carol like Roman Reigns I feel like I've given Carol a pretty good shot over the years. The DeConnick stuff was talked up endlessly but I never cared for it. Her book with Alpha Flight is... okay, but it doesn't feel like an A-list book either. It all very much feels like they want me to like her just because I'm supposed to, and that sucks because I do want to like her.

Lobok posted:Speaking of Beta Ray Bill (cross-posting from the animation thread), I just started the Simonson Thor run and man, that thing moves. At the end of the very first issue Bill has already become Thor and been ported up to Asgard. I hate that the issues up on MU are the digital recoloured versions but oh well, I'm still liking what I see so far. Especially after reading about 30+ issues prior to get some pre-Simonson context. You are in for all the treats.
