This mostly reminds me how many Marvel books I'm not reading and how many I started but dropped. I kinda feel like ANAD Marvel is the exact opposite of AN Marvel for me.

muscles like this? posted:Yeah, I started a bunch of books but the only ones I still care about are Vision and Karnak. Invincible Iron Man International Iron Man Ms. Marvel Vision Black Widow Doctor Strange Power Man and Iron Fist Howard the Duck Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! Spider-Man X-Men '92 (when it starts) Karnak Black Panther (when it starts) Moon Knight (when it starts) That's more than I thought, honestly, though a bunch of those have one issue so far, aren't actually out, or barely come out.

I'm curious how long it takes for Karnak to get to six issues and then canceled. Ellis just needs to stop working with all these slow artists! Just so many slow artists.

Like all things X-Men, ESPECIALLY X-Men of that era, it builds on everything that came before. 17 issues isn't really a lot.

Superstring posted:Goddamn, I didn't know blind people could use SA. While I realize this was a joke, they totally can! I believe there was an A/T thread (or maybe just a thread diversion) awhile back with a blind person who posts/ed here. There's machines that hook up to your computer and output Braille for blind people to read. We even played with various formats to see what it could do. Spoiler text, for instance, just showed up as regular text to him.

The implication seems to be everything happened as we saw it right up until the final incursion and everything was reset at that point and the heroes won and there was no end of the universe as far as most observers are aware. Not unlike how the original Crisis was supposed to have happened. Granted, I haven't been reading the post-SW Avengers titles, so maybe Ultimates has brought up something else since it seems to be dealing with the fallout from SW.

JoshTheStampede posted:Has Marvel more or less discarded the idea of continuity between books except when it comes to crossovers? The x-books seem to be aware of each other's general goings-on, and everyone is aware of Pleasant Hill and stuff when it's convenient, but you also have books like A-Force where Captain Marvel and Medusa, people who are involved in serious world-ending poo poo in their own books, or who are expressly out of the universe for months on end, are running around having lighthearted wacky adventures as if nothing is going on.

bobkatt013 posted:I read OML and I found it to be really good with amazing art. If you are reading his current book which is really good you should give it a try. If you like Morrisons New X-Men then you should give E is for Extinction a try. I read it and it was a fun miniseries/homage to Morrisons awesome run. He said he read E for Extinction and didn't like it. Anyway, of the SW minis I read, only Siege and Thors really fed into the main plot. There's some good ones in there, but few are what I'd call essential.

Hercules actively insulted readers for enjoying the Pak's Incredible Hercule, so if you enjoyed that, this is probably not for you.

Yes, "actively insulting" was the wrong term, but it was pretty heavily distancing itself from prior versions of the character, and even ignoring that, the two issues I read just weren't very good.

The last time said child brought back a bunch of heroes from non-existence they were all the iconic versions of themselves. I really doubt he would make Cap a Nazi.

Claremont was a fantastic plotter with a great sense for characters and their interactions. His dialog was very purple and of the time, but that's hardly something to deride him for. He was far from the worst offender (for lack of a better term). Largely it just didn't fit in well with where 90s comics were going. When people refer to "Jim Lee X-Men," they're talking about the period where Lee was the main (but not only!) artist on the title. While not the writer, he still had plot and design input on the series. He created all the costume designs that were used in the cartoon (with the exception of Beast, I suppose). As for Lee, he's tried some somewhat different styles. His work on Bloodshot was notably different than his other work, though that might be as much due to the heavy inking as anything.

I didn't claim they didn't do well or that it wasn't influential. I'm saying it was only for a short period of time. That they've completely gotten rid of it an integrated the only truly successful portion into the main universe is pretty much all the proof needed.
