I'm guessing Gwenpool did not get trade saved like Wasp and Iceman. That makes me sad.

Gwenpool got more issues than Iceman and Wasp combined. It was a great comic, and I wish Marvel was still publishing it, but you can't say they didn't give it all the chances in the world to succeed.

How many issues is Marvel rising? Its numbering has been really confusing, and the way the last issue ends makes it sound like it all ties up in the next issue.

Seems to be two more issues, Ms. Marvel/Squirrel Girl, then marvel rising: omega.

So apparently the Milania Vaynthrub Squirrel Girl character is animated. On the plus side it includes Spider-Gwen. For some reason I thought it was a live action show.
Vayntrub's doing both, assuming New Warriors ever finds a home.

Anyone happen to check this out today? I wouldn't have otherwise been interested in it but I don't often see Willow promote books like that.

I read it this morning, it's fine, mostly set up for the rest of the series. My guess based on the end of the issue is that the series is going to reveal that Carol's always been half-Kree, and that's why she got her powers when the Psyche-Magnatron exploded, or not but something like that seems likely.

I like X-Men Red, but Cassandra Nova is a stupid character and she's really dragging down my appreciation of the book.

"Carol Danvers was always part Kree" (or at least that's my guess for the big reveal the series has been teasing) is a five issue miniseries.

Thompson is one of my favorite writers at Marvel so of course I'm excited to see what she can do with Carol, and bringing Jess Drew back is just the icing on the cake

For reals though, I think it's fine, makes sense, and let's Carol stand as her own hero more completely.

I've never played future fight but from that tweet, it just sounds like it's a costume you can use, but not the only one? So you can still be sexy Emma frost and not not-as-sexy Emma frost if you want?

The Avengers Halloween issue was all about retelling gruesome/macabre stories with Marvel characters, and no it wasn't my cup of tea either. The final ghost story was alright though.

I didn't grab any Infinity Warps but seeing covers kind of made me wish I had. At least seeing Weapon Hex and Magik teaming up intrigued me. Are they any good?

Iron Hammer was extremely good, with a solid Silver Age feel, but then again Al Ewing wrote it so what else would you expect?

Is ASM going to get dragged into Spider-Geddon? Because I think I might skip those issues...I only got Spider-Girls because I like Spider-Girl classic and RYV. And I'm super bummed that might be the last time I see either until Spider-Pocalypse or whatever Spider-Verse 3 is going to be.

Spectacular is the Pete focused series with the Spider-Geddon tie-ins, and it's been not half bad, I really dug this week's issue.

So, I wound up buying the Spider-Girls miniseries (I wanted to support Houser/RYV, OK?) and actually quite enjoyed it (probably because it seemed to primarily avoiding the Inheritors plot and focusing on their interpersonal interaction).

I'd love to see a Spider-Girls ongoing. I enjoyed the dynamic between Mayday and Anime.

yes

Not wiped, locked away until they get back to the moment the young x-men returned to their original spot in the timeline.

I'm fairly certain this is the almost-100% rumor. Along with heavily featuring the women of the Spider-Verse, it'll introduce Spider-Woman as well.
