Mockingbird is pretty much my favorite Marvel series of the last 10 years. I'd love to have more if Cain could be convinced to come back.

Co-creator of Captain America Joe Simon? Wikipedia says he died back in 2011 at the age of 98. Are you thinking of someone else?

I think the soul singer Joe Simon would be around 75.

That'll teach me to go against my first instinct. I was pretty certain he kicked it but I googled it and got pics of captain america and "Joe Simon - 75."

If he was 75, he would have co-created Captain America at the ripe old age of negative 2. Child labour laws back then were lax!

How is it hard? Spider-Man and Mary Jane are a couple. They have couple problems. Mary Jane's personality was defined in the Steve Ditko/Stan Lee run. Make her that but grown up. Have her involved with his life, like spouses tend to be. Have her have her own problems. Have them intersect like Peter and Spider-Man's problems do.

Also, give them a kid. Because that way parents can relate and kids can relate.

No, nobody could possibly relate to a married Spider-man, let alone a Dad Spider-man.

Oh that part. I disagree, he was terrible up to G-Mo, Whedon ran with that but after that yuck. And they doubled down on it with Bendis.

Order it, there's always the chance that they restock and the price goes back up over $100. They did reprint the Kirby FF omni #2 when #3 came out so you never know. Plus IW was heavily based on Hickman's run so they're more likely to reprint it.

it sucks trying to find an omnibus after its release. I managed to find Fraction's Hawkeye and FF at a con for decent prices, but that's about it.

Target's website is good if you're trying to get new ones. Got the GMo Batman one for $45, and the Seven Soldiers one will be the same price in August, compared to $63 or so everywhere else on a $75 cover price.

I've long warned people not to snooze on any OSHC they might be interested in. Just looking at the pricing history on so many Marvel Omnis is enough to make me preorder any and all books I'm even vaguely interested in.

Nah, it's been in the works for almost two years. I think I posted about it in the old thread. First IDW got all those Disney licenses, then the SW kiddie book. Those have been very well received and this is "phase 3" of that plan. Nobody at Marvel proper wants to do all ages stuff and IDW thrives at it.

IDW does the best job with All Ages books on the market. Marvel already have existing agreements with them on other properties. Plus Disney has a working relationship with IDW for the Disney Toon and Star Wars books. If you have a relationship with a company that does the best work in a demo that sometimes is hard for you to reach it would be foolish not to utilize it. I'm actually surprised it took them this long. Marvel Age/Adventures were a long time go and were legit good books (Seriously they're up on Unlimited now, Spider-Man is the best but they're all worth reading), but not a lot of people read them. The deal with IDW will put them in the place where they can be done right and even has the potential of attracting some creators that might not otherwise fit or be ready for a main line Marvel book. I see no way this isn't advantageous for them.

This. All of this. IDW is the best all-ages publisher in the industry. Their AA bookstore presence is fantastic and they add licenses to their library constantly. A lot of people are taking this as another positive hint that Disney is going to acquire IDW at some point.

The problem with Carol is that Marvel's already convinced themselves she's super popular so they don't put any effort into actually making her likable.

It's like they all read that page from House of M where bea us over the head with how popular she is in that reality and they just took it as how things actually are.
