Can't comment.

It's okay? I guess?

Wolverine and Moon Girl are alright, the others are meh, and Star-Lord's a burning dumpster fire.

All New Wolverine

Surprisingly pretty decent. Reminds me of Orphan Black in a way.

A-Force

Pretty good-Not great.

Uncanny X-Men

Awful artwork-just seems aimless.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (?)

My 7 year old daughter likes it-it's pretty basic.

Star-Lord

Pretty forgettable in my opinion-but some decent artwork.

Wow thanks for all the comments yall

Looks like its New Wolverine, A-Force, and Moon Girl for me. Sucks to hear Star Lord is terribad.

 

[Lashley]

Star-Lord is trash

 

[Hagi]

Wow this BOGO is killing me I just bought everything for A-Force, Iron-Man, Spider-Man/Deadpool, Poe Dameron and the first two issues of All New All Differeent Avengers. Out of those I've only actually read the first 3 issues of Iron Man before so this should be fun. Is there anything else worth looking into? I heard vision was good and I'm sure the first issue is included with Spider-Man/Deadpool. Thinking about reading Uncanny Inhumans and catching up with Captain America.

I haven't really been following Marvel since before Secret Wars ended so I'm out of the loop to what's worth following. I did buy Dr Strange when that was on sale last week and I'm subscribed to Black Widow.

 

[Drayco21]

Standoff ended about as great as it started; this has been a real rarity for Marvel event books.

Shame they're going to throw it all out for fucking Civil War 2. Cool.

Also, not really a fan of

Spoiler

new Quasar, but at least the way they go about it is more classy than 90% of the other forced as fuck legacy characters Marvel's been pushing lately, and it's probably better to have an Earth-focused Quasar in the hands of the people at Marvel who can actually write, than to put them in space where the book belongs but have it picked over by Bendis and Humphries.

 

[Dalek]

Old Man Logan is the book of the week. Really well done. This is Good Bendis writing this while Bad Bendis is off on GOTG.

That's probably because the book is Lemire's. Haven't gotten to it yet, but I'm looking forward to it; the last couple issues have been a lot of fun- probably Lemire's best Marvel work so far.

Shit! You're right-I was thinking of the Secret Wars team. That makes total sense now why this book is so good.

And yes-Standoff ended great-setting things up in a good way for the future.

Yeah, I made the same mistake too, until last issue.

Pizza dog and Hawkeye were the tip off.

 

[Lashley]

Standoff was fantastic.

Marvels on a good streak with events, Civil War II might actually be decent at this rate.

Does Tony make another Thor clone, or do something equally horrible?

Ms. Marvel #6 (2015-16): A solid end to the latest arc for Kamala and one that struck a bit of a personal chord with the difficulty of balancing out one's various aspects of their life. That said, these last two arcs have felt a bit rushed in terms of how their respective conclusions play out though it isn't as noticeable this time around on account of how much the events make you feel for Kamala and what she got herself into.

Spoiler

Also, giant dinosaur to eat giant Kamala Khan that's stopped by Loki and Carol Danvers. Comics books, everyone!

 

[Palette Swap]

Haha, the OML thing is like that time I thought I had read a good Millar book, except it was Morrison. To be fair though, Bendis has written good books. Hell, his current Iron Man books are okay.

Overall, I really liked Standoff and some of the things it set. In particular, having Zemo and Skull in the wild could lead to great things in both Cap books.

In a vacuum, having Bucky lead his Thunderbolts team is a great idea, as I love both, it just sucks that the book itself looks really awful and probably won't last beyond ten issues, if that.

Also, Standoff had a great

Avengers Assemble

moment.

 

[Sinatar]

So Night Thrasher is officially resurrected and kicking in the Prime universe. I know that'll make some folks around here happy.

 

[Dalek]

I honestly can't get past the art in New Avengers. Just atrocious.

And I don't get how Al Ewing can write Ultimates which is great and also write this which is just pointless and dull.

 

[CazTGG]

Moon Knight #2: A vast improvement on the first issue, albeit it still suffers from a bit of a rushed pace. Like the first issue, the penciling and coloring are worth the price of admission alone, though this time the writing is clever enough to justify picking it up beyond the visual storytelling at play.

 

[Khaz]

I just received my ANAD Avengers TPB, collecting #1-6, the FCBD short story and Vision's prologue. Frankly it it reads much better that way, I felt a bit let down by the pace of the first few issues but it does a good job at assembling the team and exposing the generation gap. I love the youngsters.

 

[Dalek]

I'm really enjoying Moon Knight. I have no clue what's really happening but I'm loving being along for the ride.

 

[Voror]

How's that Dr. Strange series been thus far? First issue seemed a bit weird in how they depicted him.

It's pretty solid. It's expanded into a companion book about all the various major Magic users on Earth and is building towards some kind of biggish event.

Yeah, I noticed they had a number of them in the first issue and was curious if that would be recurring. That's pretty cool as it feels like we haven't had too much magic stuff as of late unless I've just missed it.

 

[CazTGG]

I'm really enjoying Moon Knight. I have no clue what's really happening but I'm loving being along for the ride.

I've heard a theory that what's going on somehow involves Stained Glass Scarlet (an old Moon Knight villain that took part in some of the better Moon Knight comics during Doug Moench's original run) due to the doctor's similar appearance, the prevalence of red throughout the first issue and the constant bits flashing back to the classic Moon Knight comics albeit with a new art style, plus Lemire has commented on his favorite run of the character being Doug Moench's so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise if he took one of the better elements from that run.

Either way, I feel this page is a clever commentary on how most people reading it feel thus far i.e. it's hard to know what's real but they should still trust Lemire in where he's taking the character during this 5-parter that's supposed to lead into an ongoing series (which, given he's written arguably the best run on DC's Animal Man and the acclaimed Essex County series among other works, he's definitely earned that trust):

The artwork for this is spectacular, I love it.

 

[diaspora]

The art for Moon Knight is nothing short of fucking incredible.

 

[BBboy20]

How's Punisher in both solo and with Daredevil?

 

[Manmademan]

I tried to block that out.

It's really stupid how all of that stuff went absolutely nowhere. Bendis just gave up about halfway through. What happened to Storm's daughter from the future who stayed in present day? The evil Mystique/Xavier son? The evil Mystique/Wolverine son? Is evil Jean Grey/Xorn even still alive? And did they ever explain why the young X-Men could never return to their time? What a dumpster fire. Just "erase" all of them except for Jean since that's really the only reason that entire plot happened was to bring Jean back into continuity.

As someone else said, the plotline for the X books got royally screwed by AXIS then Secret Wars. All that stuff was pretty much abandoned because of it.

In universe, Eva Bell retconned all of that when she traveled into the past to speak with young Xavier. As a result of that Xavier's "last will" was changed to Scott, and mystique was never left anything. Presumably this means future son of Xavier was never conceived and the future X-men stuff didn't happen.

The canon future now being apocalypse wars seems to back this up. As for future Jean, it was implied before the Eva Bell stuff the current jean's actions were writing her out of continuity. Her existence wasn't a certainty.

The time displaced X-men still can't go back because time is still broken even after secret wars. I think ultimates mentions it but don't quote me

 

[Khaz]

Eh, I would think Secret war breaks time travel too. At most you could travel back up to 8 months ago, but not before, as the Universe didn't exist before that.

 

[Manmademan]

Doesn't work that way. Universe 8 has the same history as universe 7. (Edit: outside of a couple of changes. Star Lord's history is totally different) You can time travel just as you could before.

Squirrel girl went back to the 70s or something equally ridiculous.

It was the ultron stuff that broke time. Secret wars didn't affect it.

 

[Palette Swap]

Yeah, the way I understand it, Reed has been recreating entire universes with their own spacetime each, and that includes the complete timeline.

Obviously, there's a necessary suspension of disbelief, because taken to its logical conclusion, it implies Reed is essentially an Augustinian God, with a perfect knowledge of how each universe began and how it ends, being on the outside and all.

For all intents and purposes, it's just "there's a new 616, where 99.99% of past shit happened and moving forward, anything can happen".

I'm sure Busiek would have a great explanation for all this.

The Squirrel Girl time travel story was amazing.

Come on stupid work day, stupid end al-stupid-ready.

 

[Drayco21]

The new Wasp is awesome.

I was expecting some awful unrelated character that uses someone else's codename for no real reason like half the other new legacies, and instead got some really good continuity work that manages to balance obligatory MCU synergy with really good classic comic roots, and a good set-up to reunite the fucked up, scattered ANTS family.

I'm excited for what they do with her in the future.

I thought the new Wasp would be

Just read about 24 issues of back issues and new stuff like Moon Knight.


Came in here to Say that Doctor Strange has the best story going right now and is easy top 5 out of ANAD. yah gotta get in on this

 

[BSherrod]

Vision is still so, so dope.

 

[Lashley]

Just read Vision #7, and while it was good I don't get why people were hyping it so much

 

[Fandangox]

Finally started reading the ADAD after finishing Secret Wars starting with Ironman. Read the first 5 issues, it was alright. What's the deal with doom, how has that been received?

They haven't really done much more with him than what you see in the first few issues. He shows up and is charming, debonair and seemingly wants to help Tony with the magic stuff.
