You know damn well the Thor thing is just cover trickery.
Yeah. You're right.
Zombine said Brevoort said it was legit. And Sam
says he's not into Misty like that.
I'm just putting 2 and 2 together!
Unrelated but the preview for Uncanny Inhumans looks surprisingly good and the redesigns are pretty great as far as 'Tacticool' goes.
I would put Spencer on that list as well.
Definitely
The only reason I hesitated there is because I thought Avengers World was just kinda forgettable. Superior Foes and Ant-Man were both fantastic, and his Cap is off to a really great start, so I'm guessing Avengers was just a fluke- he's pretty damn great too.
Ino why you crush my dreams like this

Nah. That dancing thing isn't real. Stop Photoshopping stuff guys. Geez.
I knew people would react to that as soon as I read it lol.
If anything I would say Marvel is more penetrable now then ever with their current model.
Yup.

This week's reviews from me.
Ewing's New Avengers felt like Grant Morrison Lite, Uncanny Avengers was still pretty bad, Cap America is someone finally delivering on the promise of Sam Wilson as Cap, and Spider-Man 2099 was all setup with little payoff until the end.

Remender confirmed Rage of Ultron was post-Secret Wars back when it was first published, so it and Ant-Man annual definitely are supposed to be; especially in light of
Hank Pym showing up in Time Runs Out as a human and not a hybrid Ultron-person.
Putting it in the time skip months is probably the smartest way to smooth the transitions from that to whatever differences there are in the final status quo (like Sabertooth and Peter not being core Avengers anymore)

:X I wasn't that far into the secret wars so this is a lot of new information that ...well....I hope I.....*slightly crying*
Lol! I see though. I was still in the "Time Runs Out" segment before the actual Secret Wars begin but I see what happened here. I definitely need to see whats next now
They already did that with the Ultimate Universe 15 years ago. By Year 7, it was barely simpler than the current universe. Hell, DC nu52 was just 4 years ago and most of the characters went through some big changes. Unless Marvel and DC reboots their line every five years or so, canon/continuity is something that all comic readers have to deal with.
They're going to try to assassinate Galactus?
Um...I don't recall this scene...wow...
Heh.
Not having a multiverse wouldn't help penetrability at all, because it means every story you want to publish has to be in continuity. DC figured that twenty years ago by making exactly that mistake.
Having lots of multiverse crossovers might be argued to be too complicated. But that's a different thing.
Also Spider-Man 2099.
No it doesn't have to. Marvel and DC are the only publishers that care about keeping a continuity into everything they publish. They don't have to. All the alternate stories, the what if, don't have to be in a continuity of alternate universes that can be visited by their heroes somehow. I'm fine with having Old Man Logan in his own future, or Spider Gwen in her alternate version of 616. They don't have to be part of an overall multiverse, forcing them to interact with each other for no reason other than "maintaining continuity" is ridiculous. The overall continuity also force them to do crazy things in regard to dates and time passing in real life, like how they can deal with characters being around for 60 years. No one cares why Bart Simpson is still 10 after 19 seasons, or how Asterix has had all his (36 and counting) adventures in 50BC.

Deadpool merchandise
goes with the theory that Marvel is propping up Deadpool to get some hype for their MCU and to spite fox.

Why does he wear the mask!?
The art in Uncanny Avengers is absolutely atrocious.
Like a melted toy soldier.
I'm already bored of everyone treating Deadpool like shit too. I'll keep going with it, although it hasn't hooked me yet.
New Avengers was pretty dull. Might give it another go for Maker.

You need Sam Wilson-the best book so far.
I'm actually surprised by how involved the multiverse is in the post-Secret Wars 616. Prior, the Marvel multiverse was like a toybox with old plots and weird ideas that occasional story arcs and niche series open once in awhile. Overall, though, 616 tends to be kept separate. Compared that to DC where, especially post-Infinite Crisis, the events of the multiverse are often the seeds of the main universe events.
I actually really like this direction. It gives the out-of-universe stories that same weight and significance. If those two things can inform each other that's exciting.
I'm still unclear on what "Universe 8" really is, which I imagine we'll find out after Secret Wars. However, it is exciting that the multiverse is a part of its story.

It was identical to the cartoon TV show that's out. So it was either adapting it or the show is an adaptation of the comic (unlikely).
Unless of course there is a second guardians comic series out.
wait what?

The comic I read was identical in that it uses the same artwork and story.
But that one was out a while ago so it seems more like a companion comic than a new series.

He was buff again (and even fighting) after the timeskip in Avengers/New Avengers before Secret Wars. I don't think it was ever explained anywhere how that happened.
Yeah... I think you picked up the wrong comic.
That's "Marvel Universe Presents Guardians of the Galaxy" a part of the Marvel [Animated] Universe of comics related to their animated series.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 that came out this week has different art, and is led by Star-Lady (Kitty Pryde).

Doctor Strange #1 was perfection, and everything I hoped for in the comic. I love the artwork, humor, and the doctor's demeanor. Definitely will be reading this series, and I might not even wait for the MU drop.
Uncanny Avengers is unreadable garbage, and is instantly dropped. Same for New Avengers. Just not good.
I still need to read Amazing Spider-Man and Captain Sam. The former looks good, the latter I'm taking a flyer on as I don't care for the character much.
