Yeah it made me realize that I need to read his series at some point. Waid is really good, and so far this event looks like it could be worth it.

Nova is the first good thing Loeb has been involved with in a long time!

The red and black Fantastic Four outfits are garbage. It's cool that they're trying something different, but they just look like poo poo.

He's really not that involved with it now. He did start it off surprisingly well though.

Edit: I think I asked this in the old thread, but does Inhumanity even count as an event anymore? Did it ever become one? Fraction dropped out before it even got going, and as far as I can tell the only books that even deal with it anymore is Soule's Inhuman and a little bit of Ms. Marvel.
To date Ms. Marvel hasn't mentioned anything re: Infinity/Inhumanity except an opening-caption mention of #2 being set "12 hours after the Terrigen Bomb" on what #3 retroactively identified as a Friday night, although #3 (set on the weekend and Monday after) has media snippets where at least in Jersey City the Terrigen mists are still publicly identified only as "the mist" or the "Manhattan mist".

Outside of the comic, the only (recent?) reference that Wilson has made was noting at the 2014 Emerald City Comic Con that once Kamala identified the origin of her powers she would seek out other Inhuman-descended whose powers manifested, though I believe this was only to be after her origin arc concluded, but if what you guys have been saying about Inhumanity is true then Wilson should be able to completely write around Inhumanity if need be.

Is there an Original Sin thread? I only ask because I want to see if it's worth dropping the $5 on.

And the topic title says this isn't the place and all.

I love how she called New York a cage that's done nothing but give her bad memories. Honestly it's great seeing more marvel heroes leave NYC and go elsewhere.

Edit: I also checked out Original Sin #0 and it's a surprisingly nice read. Honestly it makes me want Waid to quit Hulk and work on Nova instead.

Yeah this is one instance where her actually going "well maybe I hate New York for more reasons than my ex-boyfriend lives there" was a perfectly justifiable excuse to have her globe trotting.

Bendis Daredevil run is considered a classic and Waid is building off his.

It is nice to read about the Fraction situation as something that was handled without a lot of drama. "Things didn't work out, it happens" instead of say editorial driven by insanity crashing an entire project.

Malekith being a bad arc didn't bother me. We had a clear hook on what the next arc would be with the SHIELD scientist, so it was obvious that Malekith was a forced story because movie synergy, a hiatus to the real comic if you will.

When the hell did the Malekith arc become bad? It was right up there Rat Queens for best D&D comic ever.

Did I miss something or was there a reason why Venom's character design changed between pages in GOTG? He traded his gun in for new ones, then he looked completely different on the next page for no reason I can tell.

He just took off the weird vest thing he was wearing, then put on the Venom "mask."

It's certainly a slightly different mask than the one he usually has, but it isn't a dramatic change.

It's more different than that. The page before he has his normal look with the kinda spiky shoulder pads and larger shin guards. On the next page the shoulder pieces are gone, the shin guard design changes, the spider logo is different and he has the new mask with the spiky mouth. He looks much more "streamlined" and less like a dude in black tactical armor.

Waid should always do a prelude or epilogue to an event. Uatu & Nova was amazing like his Hank Pym comic.
