Is AXM #38 the first time Lockheed has a conversation the issue where he has a reunion with Kitty after she comes back?

When they kill off a character, does that decision come from editorial or a writer typically?

Metal Loaf posted:I think it's pretty rare for editors to mandate a character death. I guess the biggest example is Jean Grey. Which time? So like for say Nightcrawler it was just Mike Carey going, hey I wanna kill this guy off for story/character reasons, that cool? And then the writers on all the other X-books get a memo saying, "Oh BTW, this dude is about to be killed in this crossover event, so I hope you didn't have any big plans that involved him. How much communication/collaborations goes on between authors of different but connected books?

So is that the reason Shooter and Byrne had mad beef? Sounds like he had beef with Claremont too. I tell you reading the wikipedia pages on a lot of the creators, it seems like people in the business don't really like each other very much.

How do people in the industry feel about Axel Alonso? It's just odd to me how vocal people can be about their colleagues. In other creative media, usually people try to put a good face on relationships and what not, but in the comic book industry, it seems like people will talk out of school all the time.

I was reading the Invincible Iron Man Reconstructed run and it had Don Blake turning into Thor. What's the deal there, I thought they retconned it so that Thor was just Thor now? Explain to me how Thor works!

irlZaphod posted:Well he was technically dead from 2004 until 2010 Huh, so there were zero Thor comics during that time or did they have like robot Thor and Beta Ray Bill comics. Also, I read the Cap Reborn stuff this weekend, and even though it was pretty obvious that they wanted to bring Steve back pretty quickly, were people mad that they brought him back so soon?

Teenage Fansub posted:I really enjoyed that era, especially after Secret Invasion. Just catching up on Remender's Punisher now, I like it even more. Nah, I'm just reading through stuff like Iron Man and Captain America and I keep running into this giant wall of Dark Reign and Siege and that's usually where I'll stop and go read another book until that point. I figure I'll read the core Siege series at some point and then move beyond it. Now that I've read all the X-books up to AvX I figure I'll catch up to AvX in the other "main" titles and then read AvX all at once. Oh as for a question what are the main Avengers books post Civil War? I know they split into the official and secret teams, but every time there's a huge event they split or change the Avengers books, it seems. zoux fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Mar 3, 2014 |

Len posted:Secret Warriors really was pretty good. It runs into Dark Reign for a couple issues but most of it is just Nick Fury saving the world one last time before retirement. Yeah he showed up with his team in one the Secret Invasion books and I remember reading a Dark Avengers where Ares gives him permission to train Phobos, but I didn't know what book that stuff happened in. When and why did Fury leave SHIELD anyway?

Secret Wars was specifically made so that Mattel could have new costumes to put action figures in which is why Doom gets a new costume and Spiderman and loving Charles Xavier as well. Doom's new costume was specifically because toy making company executives said old Doom looked too medieval to market to children. It's funny to me that the huge amount of Spidey canon involving symbiotes all came because they wanted a black costume for an action figure.Jim Shooter posted:We went through a number of ideas for names for the toy line and series. Mattel’s focus group tests indicated that kids reacted positively to the words “wars” and “secret.” Okay. / Mattel had a number of other requirements. Doctor Doom, they said, looked too medieval. His armor would have to be made more high-tech. So would Iron Man’s, because their focus groups indicated that kids reacted positively...etc. Okay. / They also said there had to be new fortresses, vehicles and weapons because they wanted playsets, higher price point merchandise and additional play value. Okay. / When time came to actually do it, I realized that only I could write it.

Yes, quite. I prefer the long form, I guess, since I don't know if I've ever read a comic outside of a trade/Unlimited medium. I can see how it would be frustrating for events like that to play out over a year or so. I'm about to be current on all the Avengers and X books, so I guess I'm gonna find out first hand.

Skwirl posted:Amazing Fantasy 15 contains the origin of Spider-Man and another, complete, story about a dude who gets super powers from his dad being exposed to nuclear radiation. Ultimate Ben Parker doesn't die until the fifth or sixth issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. Who's the other guy? So, was there a notable first decompressed story that played out over a few issues, or is it something that's always been a part of comics that's just used way more now?

I thought it was pretty well accepted that Watchmen changed the game as far as what comic book creators could do, but also as evinced by my questions in this thread I am a raw comics dilettante who may just be laboring under false information I read in a buzzfeed article.

Oh hey, I'm reading Avengers books but not single character books at the moment, and Carol just became Captain Marvel. There wasn't a power change or inciting incident was there, just Carol decided to change her uniform and start calling herself Captain rather than Ms. Marvel, right?

Aphrodite posted:Cap recommends it earlier in the issue, I think. Yeah I went and read the very first part of that #1 to kind of see what the deal was, but she was already in her new costume and Cap's like "You should be Captain Marvel". Is there a comic where she decides to get the new uni or does she just show up in it? Also, did this have anything to do with the brief return of Mar-vell in that weird AvX New Avengers storyline?
