I'm not saying the book won't be good, but what demographic was chomping at the bit for a Shatterstar solo title? Like, the Domino one, I get. Zazie Beetz was great in the new Deadpool movie, so synergy, but Shatterstar?

Blockhouse posted:Tamaki's Laura is actually a bit more of a middle ground between old New X-Men/X-23 solo Laura and All-New Wolverine Laura. Still has all the development of the latter but is way more terse and less snarky than Taylor's take. It's an interesting shift. I dunno, I can hear a LOT of sarcasm in all of her lines in the pages X-O posted.

twistedmentat posted:Goons were right 100% about X-23, it feels like a continuation of Taylor's book. Tamaki is real good and she can absolutely do lots of differing tones. I think people got worried because of the covers and the fact that her She-Hulk book was about trauma survival, but it also had cute stuff like Jen's coping mechanism being watching baking videos on YouTube.

Nilbop posted:It's not really worth looking at unless you want to see an iteration of She-Hulk that only existed for that short run, where she's characterized entirely by her problems reacting to her trauma. And also she's got big glowing green scars. Hard disagree, I really loved that run. Maybe it's because I dislike the 'make Jen in Hulk form just like the Big Guy/Savage Hulk' approach, but I was very prepared to dislike Tamaki's run for that reason, and then it tied into the whole gamma powers as a writ-large means of externalising mental health stuff by having it be her response to trauma and giving her her own grey Hulk form. And there was a good dose of the humour that a good She-Hulk title should have, with a whole plot about baking YouTubers and an issue where they went back to the Jen-breaks-the-fourth-wall conceit for a blind date. Lord_Hambrose posted:SWORD is a ton of fun, so Al Ewing just knocking it out of the park again. I pray it leads to a ton of Peeper speculation! Ewing doing cosmic is great, because he just fuckin' goes for it. His run of Ultimates ended with a massive battle across like 4 different tiers of reality (and had Black Panther literally fighting gods alongside Galactus). site posted:The king in black tie in you mean? It was cute, and the silent conceit was done well, but it was very lightweight. On the other hand, the Immortal Hulk proper was really good, and kinda makes me want Ewing to do more with the FF.

Edit: ^ I'd say yeah, the set up is basically "Felicia and her crew are doing a job when Knull attacks" and you're not really expected to know much about the greater plot than she is, barring a cameo from what I assume is a supporting character from Venom's own title.

How Wonderful! posted:I loved how he handled Ben Grimm's Judaism, actually I've tremendously admired Ewing's engagement with theology and faith throughout this entire run. Charlene also remains one of my favorite current Marvel characters. The moment where Joe asks "You keep callin' me Hulk?" was so good. If not the FF itself, give Ewing a Thing miniseries or solo book.

TwoPair posted:He's also great at keeping building off little things in his previous works. Like for example in that god fight in Ultimates, Black Panther is using the White Tiger's tiger god which is a concept he started playing with a full 4 years earlier in his Mighty Avengers. He can go the other way too, bringing big concepts from his other work to add texture. In Valkyrie he had a story about Death being terminally ill and had the Living Tribunal explain that the Green Door from his Hulk run is partly to blame.

I know Psylocke put them in an impossible position, and the compromise they hit on was probably the closest you could manage without the luxury of, say, being a movie that can just cast a British-Asian actor as her, but have they managed to make anyone give a poo poo about Revanche?

On a possibly similar note, I just went through Chip Zdarsky's Peter Parker run (plus the Waid OGN that he based off) and how do people feel about Peter's sister being a for-real thing now? I know a lot of people don't love the Parkers being CIA/SHIELD agents but can mostly ignore it because it never really matters, but Teresa kinda throws that stuff front and centre. Plus it seems like Chip's got a thing for retconning siblings, considering he apparently made Mike Murdock real as well?

Codependent Poster posted:I like Teresa. I hope other people use her. Chip kinda zig-zagged this, but her dating Johnny Storm seems like it'd be the perfect set-up for a little running soap-opera bit and let her peek out from Spider-Man titles a little. I also really like the idea of Jameson being in on the secret identity changes almost nothing about how obnoxious he is regarding Spidey, just the tone of that obnoxiousness.

More likely they had no idea if the book was getting pushed back or delayed by the pandemic. A bunch of upcoming Hulk issues have been shunted back a month or so, and TNC's Black Panther run had it's ending pushed back.

Al's actually really good at taking these lovely event crossovers and making them work in his titles. I think the Ultimates was the closest Civil War 2 came to making Carol's side make sense, even if his answer was basically 'she's applying the sunk cost fallacy like a woman possessed'.
