Wow Iron Cat continues to be so good. Really hoping Mackay takes over Iron Man after Cantwell.

Oh boy Savage Avengers is so fun every issue, loved this week's. The new Dan Slott Spider-Man series seems really promising too! Had a great time w/ #1

Great week for Marvel Comics! Ryan North kicked off his run on FF w/ a really strong #1, and Moon Knight continues to be one of my favorite ongoings. Was really surprised with how much I liked Sentinel of Liberty this week given I had really lost interest in the arc.

Great issue of Strange this week, love what they're doing with W.A.N.D. and the Blasphemy Cartel. Director None has an awesome design!

My FLCS usually doesn’t order enough to get ratio variants, but saw they had a 1:25 for Dark Web and splurged. Really nice wraparound cover by Stegman.

Did Marvel Unlimited change their release schedule or something? I see X-Men #17 and Immortal X-Men #8 available to read on unlimited - could just be a bug I guess.

Story seems to be heading in a direction where Beast will be getting his comeuppance soon, but it also has felt like a bit of a stretch that he’s gotten away with so much already.

The story is also about Sage hitting her own rock bottom, but building herself back up from it. That's been playing out in the background of the issues since the start with her drinking intensifying and came to a head the other issue where Domino died because Sage was passed out on monitor duty.

Yeah I’ve actually really enjoyed what they’ve done with Sage’s story these last couple issues. I guess I just mean things seem pretty untenable with Beast having a outer space black ops station where he tests biological and chemical weapons, and also (seemingly w/ Hope’s knowledge and cooperation??) lobotomized Wolvie because he got fed up with Beast’s necessary evil bullshit. My assumption is Percy’s overall story with X-Force and Wolverine is going to climax with Beast getting what he deserves.

asking in advance of the new Timeless one-shot dropping tomorrow: in spite of last year's tease Miracleman never showed up anywhere in the Marvel Universe, did he? The variant covers from a few months back don't count.

So far they’ve been reprinting stories from Gaiman’s run, should start with new stories in an issue or two. At that point that promise might materialize.

They should just go all in and have Arcade hook Tony up to a breathalyzer that’ll blow up Manhattan if he blows below a .15 like that Jason Statham movie Crank

The current Namor miniseries Cantwell is writing is really solid too. I liked his Iron Man run a good amount, one of Tony's better runs since Fraction

Given the content of the latest issue and the fact that it's not in the March 2023 solicits, I'm guessing Savage Avengers might be ending again. Alas, I am always a sucker for a trip to 2099 and enjoyed the last arc if it is indeed the final one. Considering picking up the Omnibus later this year due to the weird legal situation of this comic.

It's been such a fun ride. I really like Pepose's narration, I think it makes it gives it a very golden-agey tone. I think it'd be a stretch for him to write the main Avengers title, but the timeline does seem to match up a bit if Savage ends in February.

I thought it was dumb at first, but I've decided to just have fun with the current Punisher run.

Frank vs Ares is such a cool concept, to me it’s way more fun than the main Hand storyline

Is Scarlet Witch a mini series or ongoing? It's an neat set up and I'm enjoying it but I don't know how much staying power it has.

I think it’s an ongoing - that’s what the Wikipedia page for current Marvel publications says at least

i enjoyed her ironheart but unfortunately her next gig was supposed to be champions but she got saddled with the both lovely and ill-timed (covid hit right when it was supposed to get off the ground) outlawed event, so it died unceremoniously. tbh i haven't actually read photon yet so i don't know how that one is :ohdear:

she's taking over bp? didn't the other guy just start a few months ago?

Yeah current run is going to end with #15, I've enjoyed this run quite a bit so I'm a little bummed. I didn't realize Savage Avengers was ending either but it just wrapped up with #10

Has the new creative team for Hulk been announced yet? I saw David Pepose is writing an annual and I feel like he'd be a really solid writer for the character.

Also just saw some promo art for the new Avengers run and I love Vision's costume, very classic.

I’ve enjoyed the current Deadpool run but it’s kinda feeling less like a Deadpool comic and more like a springboard for the creator’s John Wick assassin organization ripoff. In the DC world Hawkgirl feels the same way, like the creator wanted to do a story with their OC from the YA comic they did but had to also use Hawkgirl.

I believe Hickman said Peter gets his powers as an adult. in the ultimate universe one shot the spider that bit peter is part of the trove of superpower origin mcguffins the new ultimates (?) team recovers

I feel like ASM hasn’t been as bad as some people online grumble about for awhile. I thought the stuff w/ Goblin Peter didn’t feel like it had a lot of payoff but was otherwise pretty enjoyable. I think Norman’s characterization has definitely been a high point through the run. Caught up on the gang war stuff that’s been released so far and I really like the setup there, Luke Cage’s new costume is pretty slick.

Yeah I think Jack of Hearts and the fight club stuff was a lot of fun. Totally agree on cap as well, the Kelly & lanzing stuff was excellent & their thunderbolts is looking promising.

My top ten looks something like:

1) sins of sinister by gillen
2) ultimate invasion by hickman
3) moon knight by mackay
4) fantastic four by north
5) immortal x-men by gillen
6) captain america by lanzing & kelly
7) daredevil by zdarsky
8) doctor strange by mackay
9) incredible hulk by pkj
10) avengers inc by ewing

Picked up my pull list for the last 2 weeks today and the shop owner told me A covers for USM #1 are already going for ~$50. I saw some listings on Ebay around that price, but are copies of a comic that came out just a week ago really going for that much already?
