Dang you're right I should've ran 4 concurrent teaser threads for a few months before merging them into a return of the marvel thread

I was really hoping for a 2099 thread

Now where am I gonna talk about Ravage?

I'm sure someone could correct me on what the top consistent sellers generally are.

People cannot seriously be saying that the better version of a character is "time-displaced teenager that ignores 50 years of story" can they?

Murder the time-displaced X-men and feed their spirits into my nefarious soul-engine so that original Scott can come back and knock some sense into you. I want the Scott who did nothing wrong, not the Scott who did nothing wrong.

Domino having Major Kusanagi's hair in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is incredible.

Miniseries giving lesser characters a chance and fun projects like this are an excellent direction to take.

Also, echoing the X-23 love. Just a fantastic comic, and some of the little touches in the art and lettering really set it apart beyond it having an intriguing plot and compelling characterisation.

Illuminating Comics, who does text edits of Marvel properties (currently doing Secret Empire) put out a review of TLofCM, because despite what people think, they really like Carol. Their review was... interesting.

Is Sabretooth still trying to be Pepsi to Wolverine's Coca Cola or is he bad again?

Does Kelly Thompson just straight up write everything at Marvel now? She gets to write a series about one of the mayor characters during the time their movie comes out. That's huge!
Remember when Hawkeye was canceled and people speculated that she wont be around anymore?

Seriously, how many concurrent comics are that? This, Mr. & Mrs. X, West Coast Avengers, Jessica Jones, I think there was another upcoming X-men book, the Nancy Drew book. Am I forgetting something here?

I feel like this even happens on the bigger/richer characters, I've lost track of how many times that Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Lex Luthor, or Bruce Wayne have lost their fortune and had to operate leaner and smarter and oh wait someone got bored with this status quo, they're a multi-billionaire again.

Speaking of which, did anyone read the last issue of Slott's Tony Stark: Iron Man comic? The entire comic was built around the idea that some shadowy company launched Tinder, except the way this Tinder worked was that a human would fill out a profile and (unbeknownst to them) the Tinder company would build an incredibly lifelike AI robot/life model decoy that was their perfect mate and then I guess they'd just seed the world with hundreds/thousands/millions(?) of these perfect AI soulmates until one of them got security clearance to a big company like Stark Industries and then they'd immediately transform into Hivemind Thief Robots and try to steal all the technology they can to profit!!!

Think of all of the technological advancements they could steal, all for the mere cost of seeding the world with countless perfect human duplicates that could initially fool even the world's greatest technologist! That can't cost that much money, right?

I think I'm in the vast minority but Greg Pak's whole Weapon X/Weapon H/Weapon X-Force run has really threaded the needle of clever-stupid in an enjoyable way. Weapon H as a character is ridiculous on the face of it but is done with just enough of a straight face, and the book itself draws in a bunch of stuff I enjoy (Dario Agger trying to profit from the natural resources of Weirdworld and hiring Weapon H, Korg, Titania, etc. as private contractors, weird Hulk/Brood/Wendigo/etc. hybrids, etc.)

I assume that Pak is wrapping this all up with this final mini-series, and not unlike Sabretooth leading his Weapon X-Force of every C-list 1990s X-Villain (Omega Red! The Nasty Boys! The Original Next Wave ft. The Original Agent X!) into Hell by getting killed by a bored and louche Azazel is a fitting ending to that series, a big dumb Hulk & Wolverine vs. Hulkverine should be a fun wrap-up.

I love Pak's Planet Hulk and Red Hulk stories but have fallen off the Marvel train these last few years... If I want to check out that stuff, do I need to start with Weapon X? I just looked it up on Comixology and noticed it's got Greg Land's name attached to it.

Hi! I letter comics for Virtual Calligraphy/Marvel. We use a few dozen fonts developed exclusively for VC (there isn't really a standard font anymore). Unfortunately, they're not available to the public or anyone outside the company.
