What about Spider-Gwen?
Not Spider-Gwen but I think he has enough game to perhaps get a date with Ultimate Gwen.
But he wouldn't do that as he knows his friend Ganke is hot for her.

Spider-Gwen would be amazing with Jean.
Also this, how did I miss that. Shit.
Gwen was pretty into Ganke's Legos- Miles'd never throw a bro under the bus like that.
10/10 would read again
I finished the first part of Gillen's Thor run. The ending to JMS' story was satisfying, and I also liked the Disir arc. The issue where Thor descended into Mephisto's hell was great, loved this moment. The Siege arc in between was pretty bad though, didn't get anything out of that. Except for this:
I can't get over the look in that final panel.
For Thor I now have a couple of options:
- Fraction's run: there's World Eaters first, then his seperate run. I've read some reviews and they're pretty mixed across the board. Is any of his Thor stuff worth reading?
- Gillen's JIM: most intruiging, since this focuses on Loki and I thought he wrote him well. Is this story seperate from Fraction's series, can I just jump into JIM
- Aaron's Thor: easiest option, but I'd rather try out one of the above first.
And I ordered 'Trials of Loki', which is supposed to be really good.
Also finished Uncanny X-Force a while ago and even though I was a bit down on it before, I'd have to adjust my opinion on that because the big final arc was just excellent. Everything that was set up in the past, got a good payoff. This is one of those stories I may reread down the line.
It did push me into getting the first two trades of the current Deadpool series. Just wanted to get more of him after I was done with UXF. I loved the extra fat camp short story at the end of the omni:

I'd go straight into JiM, cuz Fraction's Thor is pretttttttty Birdie tier until the crossover with JiM at the end, Everything Burns, and Aaron's Thor can be saved for later.

That Uncanny X-Force is basically one of my favorite comic stories. I've read it three times in the last few months and can't believe it took me this long to get to it. Also, the best portrayals of both Deadpool and Fantomex that I've read so far.
This series actually made me care about mutants in comics. Which was something of an accomplishment, since the whole mutant thing always seemed like too much of a mess to dive into. But a nice, self-contained series like this, with only a few protagonist characters, was just my speed.

World Eaters had some neat ideas but also a lot of really poorly explained scenes. Like stuff happens and you don't know why / how. The arc after that though (The Galactus Seed) was pretty cool.

Check out Uncanny Avengers if you haven't already. Remender's current stuff at Image, like Deadly Class and Black Science, is really great too.

Skip fraction Thor. Just soooo boring and a waste of time. Read JMS Thor, the JIM, then Aaron Thor

Read JiM with Sif too

Much as I want and will eventually pick up Hickman FF, I decided to be responsible and hold off rather than jump on now for the discount on the second omnibus.
Also, got in my shipment from IST today. Now up to #3 on the Powers Definitive, Exiles Ultimate, and Hellblazer new printing stuff.

Oh, that is excellent. Is that collected anywhere?

yeah!! I didn't read any of that other Thor or JiM stuff(except the New Mutants crossover stuff and Mighty Thor) so I can't say its better but I'll just say its better.
Already read JMS Thor, enjoyed it even more than the Simonson stuff. Incredible book.
I guess it's pretty clear I should just dive into JIM, thanks.
No ._.
Edit: Shit. It looks like all the Dark Horse Star Wars Omnibus collections are drying up. It's pretty sad.
Hail Hydra!

wish I'd bought those...oh well
It really is a shame. You know Marvel won't even reprint any of that shit either. Some of those stories are what kept Star Wars alive for years before the prequel trillogy.
Aww, lame. That looked really cool.

The callback to that in Young Avengers is GODLIKE.
AND SO IS YOUNG AVENGERS I WILL ACCEPT NO DISSENT ON THAT.
Cam Kennedy is the shit. I bet I'm the only dude here that obsesses over Rogue Trooper
Is that graininess there because of it being scanned or because the art is like that? It's cool if it was done on purpose.

Of course they are. Dark Horse is losing dat SW license soon. End of the year, isn't it? I don't think Star Wars is ever going to be as great as
it once was. Not even with Disney milking the shit out of it and telling us how great it is.
This is your reminder that Gillen is writing a Darth Vader book that's an Empire prequel about Vader going all House of Cards on everyone. Okay Larroca is illustrating whatever it's going to rule.

How kind of them. They get to take all of the work Dark Horse put into the franchise and cash-in.
Man, fuck Marvel.
Better than everything falling out of print.

I hate to break it to you and ruin your poorly-justified outrage, but this is how practically every contract for licensed comics is structured.
IDW reprints DC's Star Trek comics and Marvel's Transformers and GI Joe comics. Marvel reprinted BOOM!'s Disney comics for a while. And Dark Horse? They reprinted Marvel's Star Wars comics when they had the license, and more recently, they've reprinted the Marvel Conan series as well.

Just read the first few issues of Preacher and starting to understand why this run is so well recieved. Already ordered the next volume with the Seven Soldiers of Victory books on sale.
Whew, I thought you were legit outraged and about to send an angry worded letter to your congressman.

Not when there's more serious shit to worry about. Like pre-ordering new statues.

Yeah the colors really popped in that run. The reds on Sif's outfit, the blues in monster blood, etc. all looked gorgeous.
And nice Nichijou gif Freeza

Yeah, I read that one (in preparation for Axis), but I didn't like it as much. I'm not entirely sure why either, but I think it's just a personal preference thing, where I like stories to have a more personal angle to them and it just felt like the story took over the characters, if that makes any sense.
I'll have to take another look at it to see if I can't pinpoint my problem with it, but it just didn't grab me.

They've done a few podcast appearances together, you should track them down. Both of them are excellent speakers.
Batman Beyond is amazing after you go past the TV adaptation stuff. It becomes more dark and mature compared to the Cartoon Network feel the original show had. It includes remnants of the Batman Inc storyline in it and Hush makes a comeback. I'm currently reading the 2012 series now.

So I am wondering if I can get away with just reading Amazing Spiderman for the Spider-Verse story.
I really don't want to buy all the other books.
I found this so I am assuming I can get the main story just through ASM

Kreisberg and Sokolowski's Green Arrow run is a love letter to early 2000's cape comics.

The one good thing about removing the old canon is that Mara Jades' bullshit death never happened.
I am hoping that we honestly get some of these characters on screen. They print money with the older crowd.
