Absolutly. Brand New Day has great stories.
We dont speak about the bullshit recons. But the stories are overall great.
COMICS! |OT| January 2015. So many variants you'd swear it's 1995 instead.

I enjoyed the stories but I'll be goddamned if people miss out on JMS' stuff.
Substitute Peter Parker married to MJ NEEDS to be the status quo.
In that case, can I just start with JMS' run and go from there?
wait wtf just happend in Uncanny... Magik absorbs all of Limbo into herself, goes to the past to get help from Dr.Strange and next issue...shes fine and they act like nothings happened. I feel like I missed an issue 
edit: also, wtf are the Stepford Cuckoos supposed to be, Emma clones? Either I missed some special where they explained it, I dont think its been covered ever sicne way back in new x-men, but they are telepaths, they look like young emmas and they just turned to diamond so....what?

There has been some Batman stories with an older Bruce Wayne/Batman. Has there ever been an older Peter Parker/Spider-Man story that was good?
Read Phoenix: Warsong.
I can only think of Spider-Man Requiem. I liked it but it seems like the Internet hated it.
thank you! how is a guy supposed to know about these off shoots lol. Dat encyclopedic knowledge. What about the Magik thing, was that covered in a annual or something?

X-Men Legacy is weird and great.
The anniversary story "Happy Birthday" (ASM #500) had an older Spider-Man.

Whether you like BND or not, it really is a good jump on point for new readers looking to get into recent spider-man comics.

Thank you for posting the little synopsis, Kipp. I was deathly affraid nobody would like it. Yall brahs receptiveness to it means more than you could ever imagine. Wish I could find that special someone to pitch it to Image. I gotta know if I'm good enough. I gotta know......
Well, when I returned to comics Ive looked a lot of stuff up on Wikipedia and read it afterwards
Regarding Magik I am sorry, I think I remember a Annual, but I am not sure...

that not subtle way of telling me to stop fucking asking things in the thread >_>
It's only like another 40 issues or so. It's worth it for Back in Black.
Eh, sorry. I really didnt meant this. Feel free to ask everything you want. Sorry, I really had this not in mind while answering.

Just assume she's regularly time travelling to train her magical stuff.
If I'm not wrong it gets mentioned a couple of times in the coming issues.
Yeah it does.
ah cool so i didnt miss anything. Im trying to catch up all the X books up to this battle of the atom, because it seems to crossover with all of them. I still need to start X-Men (with all the ladies) and Cable & The X-Force.
the good part: Im starting to feel good and caught up, at least with the X stuff. After im done with that and I can just wait for the weekly MU updates, ill move on to catching up with Avengers stuff, which will be another handful
And by catching up, I mean after AvX until now (well, whatever "now" means on MU, pre-axis)
its fine, I know I ask a lot of questions I could just read in a wiki

The correct series title is Spider-Man: Reign by Kaare Andrews. I did not like it but you can find your radioactive spider jizz questions in there. It's basically Kaare Andrews attempt at making a Dark Knight Returns out of Spider-Man

Personally I say yes. Keep reading up til the last story that has John Romita Jr. as the artist.

Abnett's doing JSA too!
I hated it. The bolded is correct, it's a desperate attempt at doing a Batman story with Spider-Man that falls flat on it's face. Kraven's last hunt does the same thing better.
I really hope it has ALL of the JSA. I need Cyborg Superman Squad in my veins.

So many of those comics hit my nostalgia feelings! Shazam, Oracle and the question are my most interested. And Jade is back. Wooooooo

Ultimate Spider-Man, the original run is complete at 160 issues. Available in just about every format, though they have only printed one omnibus.
I actually saw an "Ultimate Marvel Omnibus" listed on Amazon recently. They're hardly going to print ALL of it in Omnibus form, right? RIGHT?!?
Going to wait on recommendations from ComicGAF for all of Convergence. I have no idea what will be good, so I'll trust you guys. Except GrandHarrier, he's going to buy all of it because of course he is.
Question: If that jizz is radioactive, how has his testicles not melted off?

When it comes to Spider-Man I always recommend Ultimate Spiderman by Bendis. You can get the trades, the omnibus, the ultimate collections or the hardcovers or read it on Marvel Unlimited. Unlimited is your cheapest option
You really questioning things like that with Silk in your avatar?

Listen bud, he's got radioactive blood. By that logic, he should have melted as soon as he got bitten.
The lesson here is never apply real science to comics. You'll only be disappointed.
I lead a dangerous life.
Woo! Have fun!
I couldn't wait until Absolute Batman Inc got released to start my Batman re-read, so I already re-read Batman & Son through Final Crisis a few months back, but I'm so excited to re-read the rest of it. Not to imply I don't love the first half of the run, but Batman & Robin and Batman Inc were definitely my favorite parts of the run. I wonder if I'll enjoy The Return of Bruce Wayne more the second time around. It was one of my least favorite parts of Morrison's run when I first read it.

Buying and recommending are two entirely separate things breh.
hmmm this X-Men #1 and #2 have me...confused. Mainly because its involving people Ive never heard about. Who the fuck is John Sublime, and who the fuck is this Karima that is now possessed by Subline's sister.
Or I could just wikipedia them I guess
great art tho

Karima appears in X-Men:Supernova a.k.a. the book with the best lineup in X-History. But that wasn't her first appearance I think.
Sublime appeared in New X-Men I think. Not really sure. Should wiki it.

I just read the premise for Convergence...it sounds absolutely bonkers and a tad ridiculous. While I get that the premise could work pretty well, when you say it out loud it sounds almost too crazy. I do get that comics are a great medium for exploring this sort of thing, I can also see why non-comic readers can view comics as nonsensical or too dense and often inaccessible.
