nemesis_hub posted:Wow, now that I’ve read the whole thing, I can confidently say: Last Remains was terrible! Absolutely nothing happened after all that build up. Might stop reading from here on tbh. I just want Spider-Man to be good again, for an extended period. More Zdarsky or Taylor, less Slott or Spencer. I must have missed something because I thought Norman was rendered un-evil by the Sin-Eater. Maybe that wore off when I wasn't paying attention.

Barry Convex posted:Eternals #1 is real good, you guys I have no familiarity with the characters and I'm here for Gillen and Ribic, but it seemed okay to me. A lot to take in for a newcomer but a promising start. Some of the art on Spite's face was...questionable though.

How Wonderful! posted:Al Ewing is really going all in on the King in Black tie-ins. S.W.O.R.D. was a fun way to use the event as a pretense for showing his team in action, and Immortal Hulk I'm not sure about. Maybe I'm misreading but it seems like he's tying Knull into the overall sweep of his narrative in a pretty fundamental way? I guess the red text could be a Knull reference but I didn't read it that way initially and I expect there would have been more visual cues if that was the case.

I'm not particularly into King in Black, but Si Spurrier has a fun Black Knight tie-in this week. He's mostly taking the piss out of the character which I found amusing, but if you happen to be a big Black Knight fan you might not appreciate it.

Yeah, it's Daniel Warren Johnson - he has a pretty distinct style and he's one of my faves in recent years. Check out Extremity too if you haven't yet.

X-O posted:The Marvels is the kind of book I've been hoping for as long as I can remember. I thought the concept was too close to an anthology book to be viable in the modern market and it might be. But having a book with no set roster where literally any Marvel character could pop up at any time for just one page or for a whole storyline is a great idea. Well it's a great idea provided you can get someone to write it that can actually write pretty much everyone well. Fortunately they've got one of the few people I'd trust to do that well in Kurt Busiek. I don't know if it'll last but it's going to be one of the books I look forward to the most as long as it does. Not surprisingly it kind of reminds me of Astro City, with Threadneedle in place of the Broken Man from the last Astro City run. I hope Busiek can stay healthy enough to keep a regular schedule with Marvels.

Bulgaroctonus posted:Yeah, me too. I was reading it on marvel unlimited and once I heard it was going to be an even fifty issues I decided to just wait for it to be done and binge it. It was by far my favorite current title, but I’m glad it’ll have a definite conclusion as opposed to just petering out or get taken over by a different writer. I know some dipshit, I think Cates is taking over Hulk but they’re not going to be still calling it Immortal Hulk, right? It’ll be some status quo revamp? Brace yourself for the Inevitable Knullk.

I didn't much care for King in Black, but 200 had some funny bits and some good ideas, so the series ended on a relatively positive note. Now bring on the Ewing!

cant cook creole bream posted:Honestly, that run has had a lot of build-up with no real climax. Yeah, I can't imagine how all the Kindred stuff will be resolved by September. Speaking of, I worry a bit that Immortal Hulk will feel rushed based on where things stand now but Ewing's been planning for 50 issues all along so I'm reasonably confident that we'll get a satisfying conclusion.

Gaz-L posted:Seems like Ewing hit a triple this week, because any Hulk fans shouldn't sleep on Gamma Flight. I thought it was gonna be another one shot, but it's def at least a mini, because there's some interesting subplots set up (and Titania and Creel are actually very sweet in their own way). The redemption of Crusher Creel starting in Saladin Ahmed's Black Bolt is one of my favourite storylines running through multiple comics in the past few years. I also dug Gamma Flight, and I think it was listed as a 5-issue mini so we have more to look forward to. I fully agree that all of the Ewing books were great this week. It will be fun to have SWORD more directly connected with his cosmic stuff than the other Krakoa-related X-Books.

Speaking of space marines, Marvel just reissued a chunk of Dark Horse Alien comics. Colonial Marines was terrible, Music of the Spears was wacky enough to be interesting with a really chunky Alien design, Stronghold was surprisingly good for a book in which one of the covers featured an Alien smoking a cigar, and Salvation was a pretty standard story but worth checking out for Mignola on art.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, they were married. I just realized I read most of the books leading into their relationship and marriage and while Clea, even in 1970s writing, never struck me as the kinda girl that would take her husband's name, I'm not sure if her last name ever came up. According to today's issue her people don't have last names so she went for it. Weird of this week's Elektra Daredevil to spoil next week's Devil's Reign, but I guess that sometimes happens with events.

I haven't been loving Spider-Man Beyond, but this week's issue is worth picking up for a fraction of a Nextwave reunion. I guess it's wrapping up next week - do we still not know what's happening afterwards? Edit: oh, it's Zeb Wells. I remember hearing about that but I think I misinterpreted it as him running Beyond and leaving after. Chinston Wurchill fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Mar 16, 2022 |

This is in fact directly addressed in She-Hulk! Or...in the process of being addressed, anyway. I didn't read the original story but he flew into space after siphoning She-Hulks gamma.
