I was organizing my unsorted comics that were sitting in piles into my boxes, and just the Secret Wars titles I picked up would fill about 75% of a short box. I'm actually surprised how big the event was, but how generally over all was fairly good.

I hope Angela gets a new series or gets put on an existing team. Maybe A force or even better joins Alpha Flight. Though I would like to see her and Serah trying to deal with living in the normal world.

Loki running for president feels like it'd fill an arc or two at best, not an ongoing series.

I was thinking today that its' the torch bearer for the crazy high level stuff that was prevalent in Secret Avengers. Even thought there is an Illuminati, I feel like the Ultimate are the heirs to the Stark/Richards/Xavier/etc Illuminati. It's weird seeing Squirrel Girl not done in some crazy exaggerated way like by Henderson or whomever the artst on the first few New Avengers issues was. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Mar 24, 2016 |

Oh yea, I mean the idea of something dwarfing Galactus in such a way is amazing, and the idea there's something else even bigger its crazy. Hah, I want to see Sunspot punch Godzilla, and I wonder what is up with Simmons chi being messed up. And Hawkeye is weed dad of the New Avengers. Well crap ANAD Avengers, I knew starting off the book all happy and sunshine was going to go bad places. Ah, AN Hawkeye, why are you so boring with stories that aren't interesting? twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Mar 24, 2016 |

If you like Squirrel Girl, i'd highly recommend checking out Hellcat. What I'm getting that I enjoy - ANAD Avengers, Hellcat, Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, AN Wolverine, Ultimates, Old Man Logan, Scarlet Witch (though this is super biased because I am almost as big of a Wanda fanboy as I am a Carol one. I know) Stuff I'm still getting but I'm hoping they improve - New Avengers, Spider-Gwen, AN X-men Stuff that is literally hanging by a thread - AN Hawkeye, Extraordinary X-men (though that thread is basically as long as Magik has a part of the story) Stuff I dropped - Web Warriors, Uncanny Avengers (though I kind of regret it). Stuff there's only been 1 issue but I've enjoyed still - Mockingbird, Black Widow. Looking at that, it seems if you want me to buy a comic, its make the main character a women and make it a big off beat. I work at a story PT so when its slow I do get the read recent comics, so I've kept up on the Vision, and I'll be 100% grabbing the trades.

Yea, but the group is literally made up of people who are objectively good, save Songbird. Is SHIELD really worried about Squirrel Girl, White Tiger, Wiccan, Hulkling and Sunspot, all people with histories that are nothing but positive?

Hah, yea, I remember thinking about trying it because it was so recommended, and looking at the mountains of pre game stuff you had to go over and just said forget it. I bought my very first statue today, the Magik ArtFx one. Basically, all I've wanted have been either way to expensive, or just non-existent. This is the first time one was in my price range. Though now I feel obliged just to get Cyclops and Emma to recreate that Uncanny X-men cover.

Does that mean Kate's going to be running around with Logan some more? Because I'd love to see her just hanging out calling him out on his poo poo. Looking through previews for the civil war covers, looks like Kamala is going to be on Tony's side, because there's a mention of her finding her idols tainted and she's clearly tearing up a Captain Marvel poster.

Yvonmukluk posted:It seems to me you kind of bought into Gwenpool's view of the world. It's meant to be weirdly atonal, because on some level she's supposed to be an audience surrogate (she's literally a Marvel fan dropped into the 616). She knew she was in a comic, but she rather misjudged what the tone of that comic was. Maybe she figured she was in a more consequence-free story - but she forget she's spun off from Deadpool, who is in the top 10 of 'comic characters with the shittiest lives'. Playing with our expectations makes total sense that way. Yea, this is exactly my take on the situation too. Obviously this is intentional to lure the reader into not expecting the swerve.

I've always felt that America in Battleworld was 616 America. She just saw the world ending and kicked a hole in reality and went to Battleworld. Though that implies that there is a 1602 Kate out there somewhere. I dunno, Kamala would probably function well on a Young Avengers team, being the heart of the team that calls everyone on their poo poo.

site posted:After reading some squirrel girl i wanted to read some more funny meta stuff so I picked up Gwenpool even though I don't read any of the spider or deadpool books and I actually ended up really liking it. I normally would think the art would be kinda too cartoony for my taste but it fits the tone of the book well. I guess she's a brand new character and I know nothing about the writer so hopefully it'll stay good. I will also highly recommend Hellcat if you want more stuff like Squirrel Girl.

I felt KSD wrote Carol excellently, it's just she didn't do that good of a Captain Marvel. If it had been a smaller book about Carol going about her life outside of punching things for the Avengers it would have been fantastic, but we got what was fairly boring adventure stories. Though I will hold up the arc where she teams up with Rocket as actually being quite excellent. But yes, this run has been fantastic and I love seeing Carol and Brand interact. Also makes me want to see more Puck. The fact they kept the footnote commentaries going in Howard the Duck was fantastic, though I'm so used to the way Henderson draws Doreen, when I see her in another comic I get weirded out. Though what comic had her at a convention dressed as Howard? The fact Howard literally put on the Justice League was fantastic, and based on sales, "My less interesting, less powerful suit" would describe it perfectly. Beast constantly going on about how he's an original X-men was pretty drat good too, along with Weapon II.

The handful of issues of SHIELD I read were pretty good, the first one where Fitz asks if Valkrye is the new Thor, then the issue were Simmons goes undercover as one of Kamala's teachers, and then the ones where everyone was being turned into Mindless ones and they hung out with Scarlet Witch.

I feel like I'll forget to ask this tomorrow after Angela is actually out so I'll ask it now Is the Leah that is living with Angela and Serah the one from Battleworld? She says she's alone because Magik isn't there, and she didn't reform like she did, and we know the two of them ran off to rule the demons beyond the Shield in battleworld. I guess a being like Leah would be different than a regular human, in that she would remember what happened in battleworldteam overhead smash posted:Cammi. She appeared in and apparently survived the terrible Avengers Arena. And was in the worst Spec Ops for Avengers Alliance ever, and they're generally really good.

Decius posted:In Angela, they had people remembering the whole 1602-esque thing either as play or directly. They even had the Witch Queen Angela turned into as the big baddy of the arc/series (I think it's cancelled) and made here queen of the afterlife for angels. Leah is also the Leah that was on the Wall, and remembers all that stuff that happened there. I was wondering if that Leah was the one who ran off with Illyana. So it was, drat I wish they kept that relationship going.

Does this Ultimates happen before the FCBD one shot? Thanos is very clearly holding one of the Shi'ar's guns when he arrives. Also like Carol seeing what they're doing and going "Wait? What? No gently caress that, shut it down now."
