Was the post coma She-Hulk series good, I think that's the one where it's just called Hulk, cause Bruce was dead at the time.

It's not really worth looking at unless you want to see an iteration of She-Hulk that only existed for that short run, where she's characterized entirely by her problems reacting to her trauma. And also she's got big glowing green scars.

Has anything been announced about when Tom Taylor's Marvel Dark Age is going to be coming out? It's transparently Marvel's attempt to do a DCeased and I'm all for it.

Isn't DCeased just DC ripping off marvel zombies already? :psyduck:

Nah it's more like 28 Days Later. Marvel Zombies has the characters act like themselves, only crazy zombie assholes. DCeased has the characters completely loae their minds.

was there anything aside from the mini comic where Tony Stark loses a leg that came out to promote Dark Age that gave people any kind of impression that it would be like DCeased or are people just assuming it will be because its Tom Taylor

I meant DCeased in terms of trying to capture the cachet of the event by having Tom Taylor write an AU story.

Hard disagree, I really loved that run. Maybe it's because I dislike the 'make Jen in Hulk form just like the Big Guy/Savage Hulk' approach, but I was very prepared to dislike Tamaki's run for that reason, and then it tied into the whole gamma powers as a writ-large means of externalising mental health stuff by having it be her response to trauma and giving her her own grey Hulk form. And there was a good dose of the humour that a good She-Hulk title should have, with a whole plot about baking YouTubers and an issue where they went back to the Jen-breaks-the-fourth-wall conceit for a blind date.

SWORD is a ton of fun, so Al Ewing just knocking it out of the park again. I pray it leads to a ton of Peeper speculation!

Ewing doing cosmic is great, because he just fuckin' goes for it. His run of Ultimates ended with a massive battle across like 4 different tiers of reality (and had Black Panther literally fighting gods alongside Galactus).

It was cute, and the silent conceit was done well, but it was very lightweight. On the other hand, the Immortal Hulk proper was really good, and kinda makes me want Ewing to do more with the FF.

I only have excellent ideas
I loved how he handled Ben Grimm's Judaism, actually I've tremendously admired Ewing's engagement with theology and faith throughout this entire run. Charlene also remains one of my favorite current Marvel characters.

Two questions

1) I feel bad that I forgot screen name, but it's still the same goon writing it, right?
2) does it work if I have absolutely no intention of reading anything else involving King in Black?

Edit: ^ I'd say yeah, the set up is basically "Felicia and her crew are doing a job when Knull attacks" and you're not really expected to know much about the greater plot than she is, barring a cameo from what I assume is a supporting character from Venom's own title.

If you mean Black Cat, I think that was a mistake because it's now not even showing on the series page, so I think they're trying to fix it

Hard agree with your disagree, it had some fantastic moments. Made me really like a character I'd never paid much attention to before. Wouldn't have even thought about looking at it if not for the creative team.

The moment where Joe asks "You keep callin' me Hulk?" was so good.

If not the FF itself, give Ewing a Thing miniseries or solo book.

He's also great at keeping building off little things in his previous works. Like for example in that god fight in Ultimates, Black Panther is using the White Tiger's tiger god which is a concept he started playing with a full 4 years earlier in his Mighty Avengers.

He can go the other way too, bringing big concepts from his other work to add texture. In Valkyrie he had a story about Death being terminally ill and had the Living Tribunal explain that the Green Door from his Hulk run is partly to blame.

I think Kelly Thompson might be the only writer who has ever heard an actual New Orleans resident, much less the cajuns who live in another part of the state, speak. She also had accurate accents in Deadpool when he was in New Orleans.

I love Gambit because he's from my home. I also hate Gambit, because there is no French accent in Louisiana unless you brought it there. Even the french words that are used are pronounced differently.

"I'ma geaux make groceries at deh Rouses, I'm outta red graveh. Y'all want some Purpleaze?. Maybe some rum while I'm deh?"

The closest you might get on average is a les bon ton roulet, sheh. That's mostly for tourists though.
