MagnesiumB posted:Would really like this. Generally, I feel like I could really enjoy a shuffling around of some of the bigger guys at Marvel to titles they haven't tangled with before. Question, has Fraction ever written any Spider-Man? I feel like he could really nail down the humor and the balance between the mask and Parker's personal life. To be fair, they basically just did this in late 2012 with Marvel NOW!: Bendis: Avengers, New Avengers -> All-New X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, Uncanny X-Men Fraction: Thor, Iron Man -> Fantastic Four, FF Gillen: Uncanny X-Men, Journey Into Mystery -> Young Avengers, Iron Man Aaron: Incredible Hulk -> Thor: God of Thunder Remender: Uncanny X-Force, Secret Avengers -> Captain America, Uncanny Avengers Hickman: Fantastic Four, FF -> Avengers, New Avengers Etc.

Slott will write Spider-man until he dies, though

Fraction wrote a really good Spidey story in an annual around the time of Civil War.

Fraction is doing less books, not more. He's not going turn things around to do multiple issues of one book a month.

Oh, yeah, I mean we've got Slott at least until 2015 it looks like either way. I was just wondering because he's a writer I could see doing really well on the title, even if there's no chance of that ever coming to pass.

In pretty sure Hickman is planning on killing Strange or at the very least putting him out of reach for a good while. He's going down a very dark path and there's just no way he gets out of this incursion business without losing more than he has. Which is a loving lot considering he sold his loving soul

Nah, Hickman's always been pretty clear in interviews that he's not entirely comfortable playing in other people's toyboxes. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back to work-for-hire from time to time for a bigger paycheck, the way Ellis or Garth Ennis will, but I'd imagine his output will be chiefly creator-owned once he's done with Avengers.

I felt like NA this week was a bit predictable, but that's ok because we are gonna get to a fun fighty time comic soon and Avengers was fairly brilliantly done. Though I find the timelines of the two Bruces to be a bit confusing. I might have to reread those issues. Avenger's World had absolutely nothing happen, big shock there. I don't want Hickman to ever stop.

I mean, I assume Avengers is teeing to up a "twist" where evil Bruce is took the place of regular Bruce and lobotomy Bruce is 616 Bruce?

I used some of the $5 that ComiXology gave out to buy the first issue of Elektra. Really nice art and the story being set up is interesting. Having said that, I don't know or recognize any of the characters beyond Elektra, whose wiki page I skimmed.

The dude in the SHIELD facility was Bullseye, the expert marksman, and killer of Elektra. He's paralyzed and blind. The new villain was there to eat his hand, and gain his super human aim. There's really nothing else you need to know. Glad you enjoyed it!

With the exception of Elektra and Bullseye they are all effectively new characters so you don't need to know them

Bruce just clubs other Bruce, we get green eyes, and then we cut to that. There's just an unreliable narrator vibe to the whole thing; none of Bruce's switcheroo is shown to us, it's all told told to us by "Bruce." nah thanks fucked around with this message at 17:54 on May 1, 2014 |

Well I really doubt the other Bruce got launched into space and therefore wouldn't really have a reaction to getting called the Worldbreaker. Not to mention he wouldn't know anything about the Illuminati since it would be ridiculous for that world to have one.

The entirety of #27 is based around Banner using previous information (from events in 616) to unveil The Illuminati / New Avengers. Unless there's ANOTHER scene (not shown) showing fake Bruce swapping with 616's there's just no way that's happening.

Habit makes us want to assume that Hickman was pulling a switch on us, when really it was SHIELD/Avengers getting duped. Using the alternate Banner, the real Banner can now operate exclusively with Tony and company in New Avengers.

But it REALLY doesn't mesh well with Waid's Hulk. Unless the reveal is they're actually using fake-Hulk there, or Banner's time in the Illuminati is really, really short, they probably could've delayed Waid's Hulk a few months so it makes some amount of sense.

In what universe do you think that telling Mark Waid, "We are going to delay your book by a few months so people don't get confused" has a good outcome. redbackground posted:Someone fill me in on what exactly is going on in Waid's Hulk.
