Probably because that's the same design as their Ultimate versions.

And Hickman gave a much bigger poo poo about Jamie (and told almost the same self-sacrifice story) in his Ultimates run than he does about Brian.

Here's some interesting news on Secret Wars & what comes after.

They seem to be hinting at a revival of Exiles with that comment about heroes from dead universes. That, or they'll all be emigrating to 616.

OK, as long as Blink is around. :colbert:

What I mean by this is that Reed will most likely find a way to fix universe up better, because Doom made a mistake of some sort.

Will Doom say no? Like he did the when Reed first offered his help? The scarring of his face that started this whole long lasting feud?

How the gently caress did no-one see that coming? Of course this is ending with a callback to Doom's original act of hubris.

(If it's revealed it's the actual Exiles Blink and she somehow survived the incursions... my wallet will be very sad.)

Haha so they'll not revive wolverine after all but he'll be some other dimension version? That's actually really clever. Ok so I guess I'll look into the series, thanks!

Laura Kinney/X-23 is going to be the new Wolverine once SW ends.

Honestly, that reads like Bennett has a bone to pick with people that get mad at bad parents. And also that perhaps she needs an editor or a Kieron Gillen to say "Hey, maybe cut like half of this monologue and let Mike draw... anything?"

Oh, he straight up said when the book was announced that it was basically going to be paradise vs Mega City One, featuring Luke Cage as Evil Judge Dredd.

I really liked She-Hulk with a Mjolnir gavel, though.

Yup, Captain Britain owns, She-Hulk's hammer owned, Judge Cage owns (but he's totally gotta get his arse kicked, that's a given), Frost of PSI(onics) Division breaking out the Claremontisms owns...basically, Al Ewing owns.

...OK, I only had a chance to flip through the first few pages, but why did I not work out that Emma Frost would be the Anderson stand-in?

Advancing the plot-wise, no. On the other hand, Devil Dinosaur killed a loving Abomination/Sea Hulk so I feel I got my money's worth. With Doc Green talking about the gamma, I can't help but think it's building toward a climax where Cap hulks out.


Also n-thing the praise for Captain Britain. I was not expecting to see Parker's Dredd knockoff return, but I can't wait to see where things go. Kinda curious to see what kinda world Faiza is from because her memories make her seem like straight up 616.

Speaking of 616, if anyone was curious, Nomad in Hail Hydra is another straight-up 616 refugee. The text crawl at the beginning explains that he escaped from the last place he was seen (trapped in an exploding Zemo base in All-New Cap) through some interdimensional portal and wound up in Hydra-land so lucky him I guess.

I think Ewing said this Faiza is from Age of Ultron, because that's where Brian passed the mantle to her.

For all the people touting Jason Aaron as a guy who lets his artists draw album covers, I'm not sure how "Two girls with medieval weapons making out while riding a solid steel werewolf that is battling a zombie army from across history in a dystopian wasteland" could be made more metal. So I think Gillen and crew have Aaron beat.

The marriage was originally just a sales gimmick, right? It wasn't a long-term goal like the Superman one was (that DC had to derail WITH a sales gimmick because the TV show wanted first dibs)

The thing I find most interesting about SW as an EVENT is that cool stuff is allowed to happen in the tie-ins and it actually matters in the whole tapestry. Like Thanos setting up the invasion of the stuff beyond the wall as a feint to distract Doom, and recruiting the Thing. That was SO COOL to see happen in Siege and then the exact same scene showed up in the main book and it blew my mind. Like, these are tie-in minis! They're supposed to lead to pyrrhic victories that leave everything unchanged for the main story!

The cover for the first issue of Red Wolf has him in old-timey sheriff gear leaping on a modern looking redneck scumbag with a gun. I think he's just in the modern day, doing the man out of time shtick.

Fix this. Now. Agents of Atlas is very near the top of my favourite comics ever, and I've been begging them to bring Jimmy Woo into the MCU forever.

Do comics on Unlimited go up six months after they were supposed to come out, or six months after they actually came out?

If you're Hawkeye, both. (The final issue went up on Unlimited for like a day right after it shipped before they realised and took it down, if I recall)
