I cannot believe how quickly the thread was resurrected after it died. Just cheapens the whole idea of threads being closed when readers know the threads will be brought back right away.

Real talk, I've put off reading current Marvel for so long because with Marvel Unlimited and a few trades that I have yet to read I wanted to get caught up on pre-Secret Wars first. But I finally admitted to myself that catching up on all the pre- stuff I want to read and then also the post-stuff simply to catch up is really never going to happen. I didn't want to skip ahead for silly completionist reasons, but if for most of my life reading comics meant having to constantly fill in the blanks of what came before then I can do that again. And I had been reading Coates' Black Panther run so really I was being inconsistent anyway. So I just said gently caress it and started reading Zdarsky's Marvel 2-in-1 a couple days ago. And it was great! Screw waiting to get to the good stuff. I hear the most current run of Doctor Strange is awesome?

Wow. Ditko. The past couple years I've been expecting Lee to go and didn't think about how Ditko must also be getting on in his years. Spider-Man has meant a lot to me, but it's weird to think that if I had ever expressed that to him (Ditko, not Spider-Man) he wouldn't have given a crap.

Wheat Loaf posted:Mary Jane is a rich and famous supermodel at the start of the run and Peter was employed in this high-tech R&D company with other geniuses, but they were keen on making Peter poor and single again, so Peter loses his job, MJ is seemingly killed when her stalker blows up her plane, then her agent absconds with all their money, so Aunt May moves back into her old house in Queens, Peter is evicted from his penthouse and ends up sleeping rough (where his costume and webshooters are stolen by a passerby and eventually sold to Jameson) until Robbie Robertson arranges for him to move into a swinging bachelor pad with his son, Randy. Right at the end of your summary is where I dropped out of comics.

Sinners Sandwich posted:Was MJ's plane death presented as an obvious red herring, something fishy going on for a couple months or was it a complety bizarre way to shelf a character? I read the issue where she comes back but no idea when she died. Guess it depends on how familiar a reader is with the whole notion of "no body". We didn't see her actually die or ever see her dead body so it was suspicious to me. And while it may not have been bizarre for any character, for someone so high-profile it was definitely weird.

site posted:The followup on how jj is gonna work is kinda interesting I know the brick & mortar stores always get brought up in discussions of changing the distribution model but each of these three points is something I've wanted for comics in general for quite a while. Each piece of the story is larger, the collected trade can come out faster, and there's time out between "stories" so that readers can use the same amount of time and dollars to read something else while they wait.

The redesign of spiderlings costume on the spider-girls variant specifically so you can see the cleavage of a teenage girl is pretty gross too pubic works project posted:Infinity Wars looks loving confusing to me. I generally don't look through solicits so it was kinda shocking how front-loaded it was just with alternate versions of heroes.

X-O posted:I was going back and looking at some older stuff in my Comixology library and opened up the first Marvel Point One issue that came out a little while before Avengers vs X-Men and found something really interesting. The framing story is about two people sneaking into the Watcher's place on the moon and trying to view his secrets while he's in a sleep like state. They talk about how their boss sent them there and with the data collected he will be able to take out the Watcher and get all his secrets. They even refer to their boss as The Unseen. This came out in 2011 and Original Sin was still several years off at this point. I had no idea they set that story up so far in advance. Did anyone remember that, though?

Kraven isn't wacky. He's a very self-serious aristocrat who jumps around rooftops in flats, animal print tights, and a bifurcated lion's face as a vest over top a bare chest while making murderous threats to a teenager who gets the best of him every time. It's important that he be treated with the proper respect.

Dawgstar posted:Yeah, but you can have that and also have Kraven's Last Hunt. You're right, I should have said "...a teenager who gets the best of him every time except for once when he dressed up as and pretended to be the teenager and then killed himself." Seriously though, there is room for Kraven to be both. Spider-Man's villains, simply by virtue of being Spider-Man villains, are prime targets to be taken down a peg but we should just let readers appreciate the tones and styles of different books and stories because a character can go from serious to silly and back again (or the reverse). Shocker's a good example. I like serious, dangerous Kraven and Shocker. And I like funny Kraven and Shocker. I'm also reading Howard the Duck and Spider-Man is presented as a hilariously broken, sobbing do-nothing but those stores don't take away from him being Marvel's premier superhero elsewhere, like in Spectacular Spider-Man written by the same author!

Pitwar posted:I still don't really get the point of the hot claws. It's not like the standard adamantium claws aren't deadly enough. Seems like putting a hat on a hat. It's so we can get cool panels of him out in the cold with steam rising from the claws. Or to lower the amount of blood in his comics since all the wounds he inflicts are instantly cauterized.

Android Blues posted:Gothic eyeliner Cannonball is pretty hilarious. Also, because his eyebrows are drawn in the exact same shade and texture as his eyeliner, it looks as though he's naturally hairless and painted them on. What's going on with you, Sam? Maybe he was born with it. Maybe it's the X-gene.

Blockhouse posted:yeah Hobgoblin and Doctor Octopus were basically been the #1 Spider-Man archnemesis during that whole gap Green Goblin looms large in hindsight because of the death of Gwen but in the stories before that it seemed that Ock was treated with more reverence and fear. Norman was important to Peter as a villain because of the secret identity issues and because of Harry but I always got the sense that Ock was the more dangerous foe. Norman had the big girlfriend killing moment but then of course also immediately died afterwards. It wasn't until Hobgoblin where I'd say it was the first time Ock stopped being #1. And then in the years after that you have Harry as Goblin, Venom, and Norman's return.

It's relatively easy to manage the secrecy of a comic book plot point. Movie plots still remain pretty secret and parts of movies are often filmed out in the open, involve thousands of people, and need the plots literally written and printed out as physical copies.

They finally return home after being across several dimensions like the Negative Zone and Microverse and have had their powers for years at this point so it's already a fully formed team used to their abilities. "You're saying I can't call Sue "Woman" anymore? Can't tell her to get back in the kitchen?!" "Reed, you disappeared from 2008. Not the Sixties."

You don't need a multi-verse full of other Spider-Men if it's just Morlun by himself so an entire Morlun Squad had to be created.

Four different Cyclops' are duking it out, there's a time vortex roiling untended in the foyer, children are doing aerial donuts with the Blackbird, half the school are phasing in and out of existence, someone's screams of pyschic rage keep going off like a fire alarm, the rest of the school are fighting Sentinels that are pouring out of the Danger Room and Sinister is there just creepily chuckling to himself.
