Got an email for the Comixology #1 promo. They're giving download access to users starting Thursday. Hope it works this time as I was only able to get 50-something issues the first time around.

I kinda like the Raven outfit. It's got a "Blind Seer" thing going on that I dig. Let's be honest, her old outfit was kinda a one piece bathing suit and a hood/cape.

Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez working on a cape book for an unknown publisher. That will be interesting to see. Locke & Key is fantastic.

Yo, ElNarez, Uncanny Avengers will most assuredly be shit. Look at that preview. More knockoff Claremont narration than ever before. At least the art is good.

The knockoff Claremont I don't really mind, especially when it's something as Big and Crazy as Apocalypse. But it's gotta stay on the super nutso crazy train, because as we've seen in #5, when it seeps into down time slice of life stuff, it's The Worst.

Huh, really? I found that Coipel issue (dumb shit at the end aside) much more readable than whatever the fuck was happening in the Cassaday stuff.

I think the Cassaday issues were gloriously crazy and stupid, in an extreme B-Movie kinda way - I mean for fuck's sake THEY STEAL XAVIER'S BRAIN, how fucking nuts is that - and when it switched to more regular stuff, it felt forced.

Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
Trumbull_Didio_Ashbury.jpg


Followed by, “Back home from the Asbury Park Comic Con. Lots of fun bits to the day, but the definite highlight has to be this: Dan Didio and his wife came back around to my table and bought a copy of my New 52 piece. It will apparently be displayed at a place of honor somewhere in the Didio household.”

Even funnier: Trumbull shared that Didio’s wife is a Donna Troy fan, and it’s part of the reason Dan bought the print. To which Trumbull quipped, “Oh so you have a mixed marriage.”

The Red Skull parts, yeah, but the rest of it? Ehhhh. I liked the fifth issue because it actually kind of felt like an Avengers comic, which I guess gets a lot of good will from me.

e: especially after Bendis' prolooooooooooooonged run and the stuff Hickman is doing now, which I find to be pretty tedious.

whoa whoa whoa you find Hickman tedious? It's straightforward Avengers stories, except there's something brewing in the background. Also, everything is fucking huge. And that's kinda why you read the PREMIER TEAM BOOK of the Marvel Universe, I think. It's because it's the biggest book, with the biggest heroes fighting the biggest threats.

Ain't shit happening in Hickman's books. Avengers are in a worse place than with Bendis.

Also, I agree that 5 was the best issue of UA. The cheesy ass Red Skull arc was so bad.

you guys are so fucking wack it's like I've opened a portal to the Wackverse (not to be confused with the Wackerverse, in which everyone just takes potshots at DC Comics and Spider-Man fans all the time)

I think as a writer, Hickman had really bad tendencies that get reinforced by a lot of people. Like, I get that positions me in the minority (I guess?) but his love of Three Year Plans or whatever makes his single issues as well as his arcs suffer. Avengers especially is really unsatisfying on an issue-to-issue basis.

That's my view as well ^

Hickman can do these long arcs, but he focuses so much on the big end game that the issues leading up have way too much nothing. Morrison and Claremont also did these big build up stories, but their individual stories have been great.

Plus he doesn't seem to realize that he is working with great artists instead of his PowerPoint comics. So that prevents him from the echelon of comics superstar.

What about Manhattan Projects? I just got Volume 1 a week ago, but I've been reading it an issue at a time and it seems to work really well.
