LORD OF BUTT posted:Yeah, this is literally the first universe reset Marvel has ever done and they've been building up to it for quite a while. Also isn't the DC a reboot so they can pay less attention to continuity? Like I don't mean that in a smart rear end way, didn't they actually say that?

Deadpool posted:Except it's not almost definitely not even going to be a reset. That's the point I think people keep missing. I mean they definitely want you to think it is. But it won't be. The fact that there are several titles that won't even tie in and other comments that Alonso has made about them not needing to fix or abandon their continuity. It's just going to be a fun giant crossover with a bunch of really weird alternate universe tie-ins. Which honestly I think is a bigger draw for me than the main series itself. I'm going to waste so much money on tie-ins here. It's like they created an event that caters directly to me as I love wacky alternate universe stories. That said is there any way to salvage Old Man Logan? Everything else sounds so goddamn fun though. Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 02:34 on May 6, 2015 |

I'll probably give everything at least a once issue chance, but that's because I usually get all my comics from a code seller for $2 each (even stuff like Deadpool 250) so ymmv.

head58 posted:Also Namor on account of dat sweet blonde rear end. Yeah I was thinking about Namor too, but he is kind of a weird broken man and I feel like him and Black Panther are the ones destined for a big and (intentionally) pointless massive death battle because at this point they are pretty much those two dudes from that Star Trek who are the last of their races or countries or whatever. I also agree based on Franklin being on board that they're going to be fine. I mean we already know what a Reed without a family is like...well it varies but being a sociopath is a common occurrence...although he did have Nathaniel so it's an odd variable. If anything it makes this Reed now truly unique...I'm predicting a Doom Reed team up on U. Reed as 616 Reed may be more disposed to vengeance now (no idea why just family variables do tend to affect Reed a lot).

I'm going to post a different opinion on Cataclysm. I liked it along with the whole Ultimates run with Hickman and Filakov. I will say Hickman's stuff is most certainly better, it actually kickstarted my move in Marvel superhero comics after reading only Ennis depressed the poo poo out of me* , but the rest of the stuff is all good and enjoyable too. The goddamn similar titles for Cataclysm was a pain in the rear end to piece together initially. I'll be honest I never read anything beyond Millars infuriatingly and yet at times good Ultimate Avengers stuff. *Crossed was what did it. After that I just needed something less loving bleak as poo poo (Fall of Cuthulu, not Ennis but depressing too) and the Cap Returns issue just brought me right in.

I'm also more willing to give Loeb a break due to him having to deal with really horrible poo poo around that time period. I mean it might be awful, but I'm willing to give it a pass. Also Agents of SMASH is fun.

Ultimate Blob was not an acne covered grotesque cannibal until he got ahold of him. Pyro was an xmen until SUPRISE he's evil now for some reason whatever. Yeah, I'm not saying it was quality writing just that I give him a pass on it vs say Millar.

That's why you buy each for $1.99 from a reliable key seller each week...especially when that's a flat fee (saving 8 bucks on Deadpool 250 was nice and so was paying 4 for both issues of Secret Wars). Of course of you want the floppies you're kind of hosed.

I actually liked Years of Future Past a lot, but I suspect I'm in the minority on that one. I enjoyed the world and it's expansion on the ideas and themes present in the original Days of Future Past. Little AvX was fun, with the cavet that you enjoy the setting and concept, and the art is rather enjoyable too. Battleworld was a okay, not great, but perfectly serviceable. I liked the last part of the Blade/HtD story. I didn't realize X Tinction Agenda was also a tie in. Oh is it me or does incarnations of the Punisher really seem to be a force for Law Enforcement (even with the Thors) on Battleworld (even pops up in the Civil War preview.

Elucidarius posted:I mean, I guess in the grand scheme of Battleworld I didn't see how it fit. Why couldn't these people just ask Doom to move them to a new kingdom? I'll probably buy #2 but I just felt like it would make more sense on its own not tied into anything. I don't really think there is a way for the non nobles to petition Doom for redress, and as mentioned a few times, travel between kingdoms is rather hard (unauthorized travel even gets the attention of Strange). And like any oppressed people what's to make you think that any other kingdom wants them? Related to that how big are kingdoms? I swear a couple of them seem like they're the size of the all US or even the whole earth? I mean I'm sure there is a sliding scale or loose rules for story purposes, but they all seem huge compared to an incursion point.

Infinity Gauntlet was really drat good in both the story and art department. Inferno was okay, felt like a bit of a slog and poorly paced, though I'm find with the story overall. I thought the Scott as Xavier art was neat. The Inhuman tie in was good too. X Men 92 was awesome if you read it in the voices of the cartoon characters. I still have a couple of others from the week and last week to finish, but man most of the tie ins are pretty good and not making things easy for my wallet in the future.

SynthOrange posted:Just cut it down to the ones you're interested in. Well truthfully that's the floppy copies. I normally buy mine for a flat $1.99 from my code guy. So as a rule it's a lot cheaper. Problem is after buying floppies for the first time in bulk for a long time, well I kind of enjoyed it (granted space puts a kibosh on it anyway, but I may get Secret Wars and one or two other books as floppies). My concern is more that I won't want to drop anything* plus you got Lando and Darth dropping on the same day. *Maybe 3 titles at best looking at the list I might drop.
