Just read Standoff Alpha.

How the fuck can event book actually be good?

Also Maria is perfect in this.

Right? Standoff is off to a fantastic start; I still can't believe they made the Thunderbolts reveal work a second time in this age of all times. Hopefully it doesn't start losing steam when all the other Avengers books get involved.

Unrelated but your favorite character showed up in the season of USM. I got a whole review ready of that shit.

Oh shit, really? Was it awesome? I should give USM another shot.

Hot damn got me with them Thunderbolts at the end of Standoff.

Maria Hill is overloading on sarcasm. she's going to overdose if she keeps that up.

It's definitely something you should see if you were curious how Scarlet Spider would work in a mid 90s toy commercial. He's a mainstay now, comes in at the first S4 episode.

That was a real turn off for me. Every one of her speech bubble had a joke in it, that felt way too forced.

I thought so at first too but she's having the time of her life here. She named the damn place after her.

It's the first time everything went right in her world. She's Willy Wonka showing Charlie her factory.

I hate to double post but it's finally fucking happened, fam.

A good Carol Danvers book. I got tears in my eyes, I swear.

God damn Ultimates hits me in all the sweet spots. Cosmic level stuff, Thanos, mmmmmm mmmmmm.

That we have this and a new Jim Starling Infinity series at the same time is too good.

In the Ultimates, were they actually teasing an explanation for
Marvel's shifting timeline
or was it just a vague way of saying
too many time travelers are changing the past
?

I took it to be an explaination for the continuity changes. It was pretty good too.

Trying to follow everything that's happening in Comic Books is almost impossible. It feels like a full time job.

I was around during the beginning of Secret Wars. Lost interest for a moment and now I just can't come back, it's overwhelming...

You guys in the US are lucky you have Marvel Unlimited at least.

I think no one in France can actually follow it all.

You have to focus on one series and be done with it.

Well, I can. Marvel Unlimited is not US only.

If waiting six months bothers you, Comixology is your friend.

I haven't read anything ANAD yet, still catching up Marvel Now books.

I thought Marvel Unlimited was US-only...

Edit : Well it's english-only then ... so my point still stands.

You didn't mention this (I assumed english is not your problem though). Urban is doing a good job with DC stuff, but yeah, you can't count on Panini to handle a decent delay between US and FR releases.

The translations from Panini here in germany is the worst shit.
Best decision of my life to switch to english books.

I wouldn't bother with Panini editions if you can read English, which you can otherwise you wouldn't be here ;). You'd only have a selection of stuff, late, with less content, and more expensive. Even UK Panini isn't worth it.

I do my weekly reading online, and get a bunch of TPB via bookdepository.com or Amazon.

Pretty sure I'm done with Daredevil - Blindspot is awesome, and the art is consistently gorgeous, but even at its best the book just feels so... bland. It's, like, bare minimum Daredevil. And coming off of Waid's run stings even more - I'm actually pretty mixed on the past few years of Daredevil, but it was always interesting if nothing else.

Yea I agree. I stuck with it long enough for them to finish their first arc and it's clear that Charles Soule just doesn't get the character and was a poor choice to write this book.

A Cosmic Cube fragment turned into a little girl was used by Shield to alter reality and trap villains into alternate fictional lives. Shit went wrong but Rogers made friend with the girl and in return she turned him back into his younger self.

As soon as they showed Kobik in Standoff Alpha, I knew that's how it was going to happen.

How much you want to bet it's temporary. The end of Standoff will involve Kobik undoing everything she did and then fucking off into space, which will leave Rogers an old man again. I've got even odds on that.

I'll bet a lot.
Let's make this official.
It was already confirmed he's forever young following Standoff.
He's getting a new series.
