I'm behind on Immortal Hulk, I know she showed up early when the Avengers took him down and gave him to the guy who vivisected him, but has Jennifer Walters shown up since? It's being written by Al Ewing, so it'll probably be great.

Yeah this sounds like a continuation of what Ewing’s been doing and I’m not getting off this ride.

I'm already getting all those books except X-Factor, simply because it's not out yet, though Cable and Hellions have only had1 issue each, so maybe they'll turn into crap. Hickman and Tini Howard are the main writers for the event, so I bet just their books are absolutely essential for the event, (X-Men, New Mutants, Excalibur).

A flat rate means an event that's a bazillion issues doesn't matter to me and a lot of them are organized in the app so you can go to the next issue right away even when it switches titles.

Hellions #1 was extremely good. Excalibur isn't, so I wonder how Tini Howard is going to do with it. She has way more misses than hits, but at least her Marvel work has been fun. I mean, I am probably going to read it all regardless of what I think because of course. E: if they stick to one x-book a week like house and powers I would be so down.

That's good to know as I read through Claremont's X-Men. I'm sure it's good to read on Unlimited, but I have a HoX/PoX themed box that I'm keeping all these X books in. I'm a big fan of having a massive run (with tie ins and crossovers) in one box. I have a Bendis Avengers box and a Geoff Johns Green Lantern box that I sometimes go through just to look at the covers, and kind of relive the memories of reading those sagas that went on for years.

Angry Salami posted:Spider-Man thinks he's incredibly witty, throwing out wisecracks through his fights. His enemies just hear a guy mumbling all the time. It's canon that Spidey's mask makes his voice unrecognizable as Peter Parker's, and the possibility that it's because it's incomprehensible remains.

Happy Hippo posted:edit; I know he cut short several storylines or just abandoned them outright (Beyonder is a mutant Inhuman! Hawkeye is a figment of Wanda's mind and is still dead!) during his Avengers run, but I never read his X-Men or GotG. Did he do similar stuff there? There were small handfuls of things that were never followed up on, like a whole big mystery about what exactly happened to Tempus -- a character he created -- that changed her personality so much when she spent a stint time-traveling. But ultimately that didn't, like, break the book or anything. To me a bigger problem with his X-Men stories is that pretty much everything left you with a sense of "Wait, that's it? What was the point of all that then?" when they were done. Like there were these huge sprawling dense-rear end manifold crossovers about time-traveling disasters that literally ended with all the characters going "Eh whatever, I'm tired let's just go home," or there were series-long intrigues about some secret mastermind pitting X-Men against SHIELD against other X-Men in some sort of epic shadow war and then that mastermind would turn out to be some random character that hadn't been seen up to that point. The entire premise of Cyclops' glorious revolution (which he was right about  ) ended on a flaccid whimper for him to just decide that his head was probably not in the right place all this time and then send all the recruits that he had gathered to the X-Mansion anyway. Cool, glad we spent all this time and money following along with your little gang and rooting for the entire premise of the book, I guess.

BrianWilly posted:For the most part, I don't remember that being a huge problem, unless you count him bringing the teen X-Men to the present as something that he personally should've resolved. There was a two issue Uncanny/All-New crossover that story that completed that story A more bothersome thing was his final issues of the main books kind of poisoned the well on Eva's character to the point she was just not really usable by anyone until Hickman finally brought her back.

To see it recommended by many people on Twitter but not on this list of free comics is very telling.

I have a question: what kind of age range are the marvel Oz books aimed at? I started the first bit of the first series, and I like the art. I wonder of these would be ok to read with my daughter, or if they're too much for a 3yo? We're reading Bone together right now, and she's enjoying it. A lot goes over her head, but the physical comedy bits crack her right up.

Seriously, the Skottie Young Oz books are a delight for everyone.

So good to have Immortal Hulk back! Mostly a place-setting episode, but as someone with little knowledge of past runs it was nice to get some history on the Leader.

Kieron Gillen is down to write Warhammer 40,000: Marneus Calgar for Marvel. Positioned as an entry point for people new to the universe apparently. Think they could have done a better job on the front cover but it does stand out I guess.

Orks have a gestalt aura that seems to make technology that can’t possibly work, work. GW do do more overt satire / played for laughs stuff (see https://regimental-standard.com/ ) but this is aimed at people newer to the setting, so they’re probably not going to do that. It’ll likely be played fairly straight, especially as it’s Ultramarines. Calgar is definitely a much more nuanced character these days. His Primarch, who is his gene-sire and one of 18 Demi-Gods that bestrode the galaxy before tearing it in two in a bloody civil war, is back on the scene, and he’s been usurped and feeling unsure of his place.
