Really hope this book's writer shows more cosmic competence than the hack who brought him to space in the first place. Maybe something will be done to redeem anything about the awful turn that they've taken Agent Venom down.
Like letting him have his actually good costume back at some point.
Or remembering that surrogate daughter figure he promised to take care of, and then abandoned while a bunch of demons and super criminals are hunting her to tear out her heart.
Art seems good at least, but no one can make his current costume look like anything but awful.
I'm hyped for Nova to start back up.

Not sure if I'm going to keep reading Cap. #1 was enough to bring me back for the second but something about it just feels.........meh and same goes for ASM. I'm hyped for DP and Strange 2 though.

Getting Vision for sure, and maybe Hercules or Nova
I don't much give a damn about Hercules as a character, but in Abnett I trust. Just wish he was writing Nova instead.

I have high hopes for Vision with Tom King writing it. Love his work on Grayson and Omega Men has a very devoted fanbase as well.

I'm trying hard to cut back on Marvel books and rely on Marvel Unlimited. I don't mind being six months behind, as it'll give me time to catch up on my ever growing backlog. Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America and Invincible Iron Man have been absolutely solid thus far, however, making it harder to not follow their release schedule.
I'm cautiously optimistic. King has yet to let me down, but I constantly fear that he'll be another one of those "great DC creators" that transitions over to Marvel only to just underwhelm.
My wallet is going to hurt this week.

Is there a list of every title and when it releases?
Eh-the best thing to do is just look at Marvel's site every week.

Uncanny X-Men was a huge "Cyclops was right" coda.
I assume something happened in-between then and now, because otherwise, I got nothing.

Vision was a real plesant surprise, was not expecting that kind of dark tone.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Read Uncanny X-Men 600 because, y'know, 600. Despite not following the X-Men side, wasn't too lost since Neogaf threads did a pretty good job of keeping me up to date on the big stuff. However, I have no clue what the last section on Beast was about. Read like a cliffhanger, but no clue what was revealed.
So was the whole Bendis's arc one big Xanatos Gambit by Cyclops? If so, is there an issue where his plans all started coming together?

Uncanny ends with the ultimate #Cyclopswasright, Extraordinary starts with Cyclops doing something that made the world hate mutants more than ever.
There must be balance within the force.

There was supposed to be a goddamn explanation. This was supposed to make Secret Wars #1 make sense.
Yeah I don't get the reason for the delay.
That's giving Bendis too much credit in assuming he had an ultimate plan and thought these things out ahead of time. He can't even be assed to read books he's writing sequels to, much less have to think about what he's going to do down the line.

Bendis' entire run is Cyclops doing press conferences and saving mutants, while the world hates on him because he killed Professor Xavier while high on Phoenix.
Otherwise he did jack all during the run to justify the hate.
Uncanny's ending was just
Bendis giving Cyclops a feel good moment to end the issue. He was still a criminal and nobody forgave him.
Not that much time actually passed in Bendis' run post AvX because his books are paced extremely slow.
It would have been interesting to see the phone calls between Cyclops and
Every mutant on earth.
"Excuse me, is this Sabretooth? Hello-Scott Summers, remember me? Look if you're not busy on Wednesday the 4th-could I possibly have you swing by Washington DC for a little get together I'm having? Oh great! And if you're driving, could I have you pick up Polaris on your way?

Vision tops Cap as my favourite #1. Tom King absolutely shattered my expectations tonally, to the point where I'd say it was a borderline troubling read. The art really complimented that impassive, eerie narration too.
Can you prove all these allegations? also second time you insult bendis in 1 page... you can not like his writing but a hack he is not....a little respect comes a long way but whatever i guess.

Vision #1 truly impressed me out of all the ANAD marvel books out now. After seeing that cover for it the first time I know it would be special.
It's really really good.
It's really really good.
a little respect?
He's literally admitted to not planning ahead, which made his decade of Avengers feel so over the place and full of forgotten plot threads, nonsense retcons, and inconsistent characterisation. He's also admitted to not reading the DNA Guardians or Thanos Imperative before writing his own book directly following.
I've complimented him multiple times in this thread- Iron Man is great. He has a niche, but rarely writes in it anymore. You're right though- I'm mostly just venting because he's so clearly half-assing it, and on the books that matter the most to me.
well just respect in general....anyways i personally taught uncanny 600 was alright and extraordinary was pretty good. Just a shame as the alst page was spoiled a long time ago. Would've been an awesome reveal.

only thing with Extraordinary is...we just got done coming back from the effects from House of M, give it some damn time before yet another extinction event.
god it would suck being a mutant with all the bullshit that keeps happening, almost as bad as being an inhuman.

Well there's always going to be something leading to mutants being persecuted.
Given Iron Man, we'll probably get another one on top of this.
No, he's absolutely right. I have the comics he wrote and, yeah, he can't even spell the names of some of the characters correctly.
His run on Guardians of the Galaxy, and his handling of Richard Rider (or, ahem, "Ryder" as he spelled it) was beyond embarrassing and could have been solved if he had read a single issue of the comics that directly preceded his run.
