Did she kill the Senators, I can't remember.

Iirc they were shown laying on the floor dead.

Mark Waid? Get ready for the blandest, corporate at of corporate comics. He's Marvels Lobdell.

Yup

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Mark Waid? Get ready for the blandest, corporate at of corporate comics. He's Marvels Lobdell.

Waid still salty Marvel wouldn't let him front X-Men in the 90s?

Reading LOW, and man.. I can't help but to notice (and disliking) Remender's tendency to use sexuality of female character as device.. starting to remind me to Japanese VN writer style.

Are you talking about the slave bikini Tajo wears? I think some of the sexuality fits the exotic alien style this book has.

Lobdell has no sense of pacing or continuity. His DC work has been abysmal.

 

[Rhaknar]

What's the most risqué marvel ever got in a comic? Ant-man going down on Wasp probably?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Is that risqué?

He probably just climbed in there and did the charleston.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

How's Waid's other book doing?

Is anybody reading SHIELD?

I'm still waiting for Hickman's SHIELD to come back. Man that book was amazing.

 

[Drayco21]

Is anybody reading SHIELD?

I've been thinking it's okay, but it's also super forgettable.

 

[Owzers]

Waid's hulk did scare me off being hyped for waid books.

 

[Rhaknar]

This is going to end with Tony being a Skrull or something isn't it? He is just treating people like shit. And don't get me started on Hill. How would any of these people ever work together again after this?

Edit: this atlantean in this CW Wolverine tie-in has both a skimpy bikini with full on underboob and a mini skirt with her ads hanging out. Why would you wear a miniskirt underwater? Good lord Ramos...

 

[KoruptData]

Batman and Robin 40 was amazing. That put w smile on my face that won't go away.

 

[JTripper]

Are there any reliable sources regarding the release date of Batman #40?

Comixology says it's releasing next week but DC's site says April 29th. That seems insane but then again it's the main site, and comixology changes stuff around sometimes.

 

[Serpentine]

Chris Samnee carried that motherfucker. Yall glorifying the Western front when it was the Eastern fron that was more crucial. Mark Waid can't write two books like the Nazis couldn't fight two fronts. Go read twenty sentences of his Hulk run.

I wasn't sure after your initial post, but you've convinced me with this one

 

[Drayco21]

Eight years later, and the Marvel Universe is still gripping the "Heroes fighting heroes" stick with both hands, so they kind of... don't.

Hear me out for the 2016 Marvel event.......... Fantastic Four vs Spider-Men. Hold on don't leave, we'll tie it into EVERY book. Where are you goi-

 

[Rhaknar]

This Young Avengers / Runaways book is another bright spot in Civil War, makes me want to read both books

 

[Bii]

So Darth Vader #3. My store sold out of it 30 minutes before I got there and it's no longer in stock at Midtown. Maybe I'll just wait for the second printing. *sigh*

 

[Sandfox]

Do the F4 even get events?

 

[Rhaknar]

Do the F4 even get events?

Hickman's F4/FF is one giant event

 

[Tizoc]

How's Waid's other book doing?

Is anybody reading SHIELD?

Is he still the writer on SHIELD? I should catch up >_>;

I've enjoyed much of Waid's work, but I'd say of his recenT mARvel work, Daredevil's the one I enjoyed the most.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

At least we get the original looking Iron Man armor back.

 

[PsychBat!]

It has been a while since I've seen the red and gold armor in ink.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

He was gone since Marvel Now because of Iron Man 3... Three years.

 

[tringworldso]

Batman Eternal and Worlds End have been great.

Not really. They've been very uneven and wildly varying in writing and art.

Batman and Robin 40 was amazing. That put w smile on my face that won't go away.

It will when you learn that it's been cancelled for a solo Robin title not written by Peter J. Tomasi :-/

 

[GrandHarrier]

Not really. They've been very uneven and wildly varying in writing and art.

Of course there is varying art. No one artist could do a weekly. It's great to see all sorts of different takes on the characters. And Worlds End has broken up art duties by story beat so the same artists have been doing the same story beats.

But agree to disagree. I think they've been fantastic.

Issue 40 of Batman, Superman, and Justice League as well as the final issue of Multiversity were delayed to April 29th.

 

[Hellers]

Miles and Kamala together at last? I'm in.

 

[Sadist]

.

Oh lol, I've never seen Matt with this much swagger. Which Daredevil series?

The new Avwngers line-up is cool; I agree with some that putting Kamala on the team is a bit quick, but her geeking out on stuff could be interesting. Oh and I can totally see Miles and Sam fighting over her lol. Miles needs some healing.

... ... ... man the Ultimate universe will die a painful, very painful death right?

 

[Zombine]

Next week is Kanan: The Last Padiwan which is very clearly going to be the first trainwreck Star Wars book. I can't wait.

At least the art looks good:

I am going to buy everything Star Wars this far... But this will the first book I wont buy.

 

[Mindwipe]

Man, that Avengers lineup looks hella dull. And doesn't seem like a good fit for a team at all.

I meant with the writing, not the art of course. That's the excusable part. The writing has been all over the place with both of them and especially in Eternal, it's been too decompressed.

But yeah, like you said agree to disagree. All have been mediocre in comparison to 52. Nothing tops that.

Man, that Avengers lineup looks hella dull. And doesn't seem like a good fit for a team at all.

They are clearing pandering to the tumblr crowd with that Avengers-lite-lite-lite team. Poor Vision the mentor.

 

[Zombine]

With the exception of Silk and Spider-Gwen, all of my Marvel purchases have been Star Wars.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Hah. You know you might hate more comics than sillymonkey. Waid isn't always great but he has enough great stuff to be given a chance.

 

[GrandHarrier]

So Disney/Marvel is full on ignoring the part where Vader hunted down and killed all the Jedi except for Obi-Wan and Yoda, huh?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I can't imagine that Waid wrote "and then Daredevil gets to the other side of San Francisco somehow, I don't know, you think of something cool" and it was 100% Samnee's idea to have Daredevil, who is blind, drive a convertible through a car chase through San francisco while standing on top of the seat and steering with his billy club.

I mean.

Lol.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I think everyone ignores that part.

Are you going to buy the Star Wars Epics?

 

[Shin Johnpv]

I haven't even had a chance to touch this weeks comics yet. That said though the GF and I checked out the first two episodes of iZombie this week. Damn good shit. I'm really enjoying it. I've never read the comic though (I will change that), but I wanted to ask how close the two were. Is the show pretty spot on to the comic, and its story or is it like other stuff where its loosely based on an awesome comic?

 

[Zombine]

Are you going to buy the Star Wars Epics?

Probably. I'm kind of over everything else Marvel is putting out. It's all just to move the MCU forward for future movies.

It has next to nothing to do with the book save for running with the idea that she can eat brains. That was a minuscule part of the book. Show is still amazing though.

Ahhhh, are there at least the same characters in the book?

Good to know the book is so different before buying it and expecting something else from it.

 

[Tizoc]

OK WTF is Falcon doing with Cap's shield and when did he become Captain America?

Next week is Kanan: The Last Padiwan which is very clearly going to be the first trainwreck Star Wars book. I can't wait.

At least the art looks good:

Art looks nice but why the lack of interest? Is it because of this

Cuz honestly, I don't give a fuck about SW continuity much, if the story's good and fun I'll read it.

 

[basic_text]

I wasn't bothered when they first were announced but all this talk of them is making me want to pick up the Star Wars titles!

Would I be ok just picking up the main Star Wars title or are the others integral to the story?

 

[Messi]

He became cap about 6 months ago. He is cap in All new Captain America. He is awesome.

 

[fertygo]

I despise All-New Caps tbh, all the shitty thing from Remender felt unfiltered there.. the hammy melodrama n narative, fuack.

 

[Busaiku]

Oh lol, I've never seen Matt with this much swagger. Which Daredevil series?

It's the current run with Waid.

Nah, I never believed that shit that every Jedi was hunted down. It wasn't even really implied and it's pretty damn impossible to do that. This book just screams "wacky EU book" to me and it's either going to be amazing or garbage.

Ahhhh, are there at least the same characters in the book?

Good to know the book is so different before buying it and expecting something else from it.

Gwen isn't even called Gwen in the TV show lol. I'm hoping the show digs into the supernatural stuff of the book once it gets comfortable.

Every Jedi is not the same as every force user. That the Jedi were all but wiped out was a pretty large part of the Canon (thus the whole "Return of the Jedi" being a big deal). Ignoring that seems particularly bizarre. Like, we're supposed to believe these Jedi didn't have an impact on the Galactic War, such that even the Rebels weren't aware of them?

 

[Tizoc]

Goes to show how little interest I have in Marvel books outside of Daredevil lol.

I think I'll give Waid's run a try, based on someone's else's input on the comic I might not enjoy the book
