I like the Punisher that shoots knives and the Punisher that becomes Frankenstein. That is the best Punisher.

rkajdi posted:I never read Frankencastle, but it looked sort of interesting and different. Given that I pretty well liked all of Remender's other Marvel stuff besides Uncanny Avengers vol 2, would you say it's worth picking up as someone who doesn't otherwise enjoy the character? Yes. Most of his books that are set in the main MU since his return in Civil War have been enjoyable. That is my opinion though since the books are very comic booky and that is what I like in my comics. Instead of buying them get Marvel Unlimited to see if you like it. They do have that special going on and usually have some free month trial somewhere.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:So, I might as well ask here I guess: up to where should I read Amazing Spider-man? I know Lee's run is good, and apparently Conway as well, Wolfman's solid too? do I keep going 'till the DeFalco run? all I know for sure is that Mackie is where it truly goes stale. Read it all friend and become a True Believer. Excelsior!

Lurdiak posted:Yeah, Howard Mackie is probably the only writer who's as much of a nadir of Spider-man as Dan Slott is. Which sucks, because some of his issues have amazing John Romita Jr. art. Bryne wrote issues #13-14 of the relaunch. Really it is read the entire original run, crap and all, Since the only really horrible stuff is the clone wars slog. The clone saga still pales in comparison to morlun, Gwen Stacey babies, and the other. I would add BND to the mix of things that are poo poo.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:So all the way to "Final Chapter"? I dunno if I want to go through the whole Clone Saga... I'll be honest the clone saga is a bit of a mess, but it has some good stuff scattered throughout. The biggest thing you may find annoying is they so not have the complete Peter Parker, Spetacular Spider-Man run up yet and that ties into Amazing a couple of times.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Eh, I guess that's fair, plus knowing the story behind it will help. I would say read it all. The biggest problem you will have is burn out so think of another series you will want to read. It really is astonishing to see how little of it was absolutely horrible story wise. Art can dip into eldritch horror territory during the '90s. Also annuals are not all up yet, but the biggest annual stories are up so not much to worry about there.

MonsterWalk posted:So, I'm thinking of jumping back into comics after taking a couple of years off (I stopped buying comics when Secret Warriors ended. (Goddamn, how good was Secret Warrirors?)) I have Marvel Unlimited and I'm catching up. I haven't read any of the new stuff but from what I've gathered reading people's posts you want to pick up the Vision, Deadpool (Duggan written), and the three Avengers. Other good books seem to be the other two team books, captain Marvel, and lady Thor sure. These are also the books i am eagerly awaiting to arrive in MU.

WickedHate posted:Plus SHIELD themselves are morally in the negative right now. They're not exactly GI Joe anymore. Suffice to say being a good guy is not sufficient reason for them to not gently caress with you. Hell, OG Nick Fury would have splattered Spider-Man's brains across Manhattan if not for a random gut instinct. This was a stupid retcon. I wish Nick Fury would come back. Is Fury Jr. even in any comics at the moment?

I've been wondering as I read old silver age Marvel, did Stan Lee have a ghost writer? Or is it just coincidence that a lot of the books he was writer on improved significantly in '64 and 65? Edit: I actually just answered my own question. The "marvel method" explains what happened. It seems Lee also became better at writing in general too.

Die Laughing posted:By that point it's hard to tell if Stan was even involved with FF or Thor at all. Kirby's later work shows that he can follow Lee's style almost exactly. My favorite era of Thor, 160-169, you can tell that Stan only polished some dialogue because the plots are the sort of sci fi god stuff Kirby did when he went solo in the 70's. I hate had a chance to dig into FF, Thor, Iron Man, or Hulk yet. I just noticed that Avengers and Spider-Man change in quality about the same time and it is just odd. It looks like a combination of the "marvel method" and Lee becoming more hands on with the scripts. A lot of the early books he plotted, but had a scripters writing the comic. At least this is what I'm gathering from scanning wiki and a few articles. I'm in no way a marvel historian. So my first question is probably wrong from the beginning.

Lurdiak posted:Were we talking about Paul Jenkins? I lost track. But yes, Son of M and Silent War are very very good books, and it's a shame nobody knew how to follow them up. We weren't but I've never seen it come up as a good book ever. Anywhere. It was a nice surprise X-O posted:That's usually like the very first thing recommended when someone asks about the Inhumans. Yeah it's good. And I'm not even really a fan of Jae Lee's art. Yeah his faces look weird at times, but it is my only complaint. Real interesting book diving deep into the Inhumans. I like the look into how messed up the Inhuman societal structure and how incompatible with human society it is. Maximus was amazing too. the 2000 Inhumans mini seems good so far. The art is gorgeous. the Kirby concepts need more love by the comic public at large. It is a shame that Inhumans and Eternals never sustain a book.

First he was a mentally broken wreck because of one of his villains hiring Mastermind, then he was actually a drug addicted abusive husband all along who mainlined some super serum. That is what I thought from various bits i have caught over time. Haven't had a chance to read dark reign or siege stuff yet. It sounds like a complete mess.

X-O posted:You mean the mini series about that zombie like plague? If so that was a prequel to The Avengers vs The Marvel Universe and The Punisher vs The Marvel Universe. They were released in weird order though. The end of it (Punisher) came out first, then the first part (Wolverine), and then the middle part (Avengers). I'm pretty sure they're intended to be read in that order though. Yeah I'm just figuring this out as I'm reading the Punisher story. They are good minis, but I really like Jonathan Maberry. His Joe Ledger books are entertaining reads. The zombies in this are reminding me of the Slow Burn series which is another dumb, but fun read.
