The Fade Out wasn't a limited series until it got to the end. Brubaker has said that all his stories have endings, but he won't commit to a length because he wants to tell it naturally until it concludes. Was wondering if people following Velvet have an idea if it's getting there yet! Sean Philips is a good artist, but I -love- Steve Epting.

Yeah, she's gone at it pretty hard. It cuts even harder because Hark A Vagrant isn't usually NSFW so this really stands out.

Hey GAF, I'm new to comics and I've been needing to find a new hobby to spend time relaxing on. I've read a couple of comics here and there but I feel like getting deeper into the game. My pops has a huge pull list and he's collected the entire new Secret Wars run, but I don't know which ones are quality worth reading. Any tips or pointers?

Squirrel Girl, Power Man & Iron Fist, Black Widow, and Mockingbird are all worth reading

It depends on what you're into or interested in. Specifically regarding Secret Wars, I'll just throw out the ones I really liked:
A-Force
Attilan Rising
X-Men '92
M.O.D.O.K. Assassin
Thors
Siege
The Infinity Gauntlet (I think is what it's called. I don't remember).
And that's all I remember because it's been so long since I've read any of it. If you want some pointers: find something that you think looks dope and read it. If you like it, find more things similar to it. If you don't, then do the opposite. If you have more specific questions, It'd be easier for me to answer you. I'm bad with general questions SOMEONE HELP ME

Sounds good. Squirrel Girl, Spider Woman, Black Widow, Thor, every Gwen, and Ms Marvel. Seems like Marvel is doing pretty alright with female super heroes.
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
A-Force
Inhumans Attilan Rising
The Infinity Gauntlet
Korvac Saga
Marvel Zombies
Runaways
Siege
Squadron Sinister
Thors
If you're looking for good Marvel runs to read, I'll certainly recommend Hickman's Fantastic Four run before he got into planning Secret Wars. It starts at around issue 570, and runs through to 600+ and 20+ issues of Future Foundation. Fantastic stuff.
If you're just looking for Secret Wars books though, Infinity Gauntlet is the best one.

I forgot Black Widow, too. Too many good books.

I feel like Velvet still has a ways to go before they get to an ending point. I'd expect a lot more twists to come out of a spy story. Though they would probably get there quicker if they would release an issue once in a while. It feels like it's been releasing every other month at best
Loveeeeeeee Epting. I have an Epting page and his original art is even more impressive in person. Velvet doesn't seem like it's there yet though, so I feel like we should get another 10 issues or so.

So, my thought on reading the new Deadpool book was that I'm not really interested in reading a Deadpool book where he doesn't murder people and break the fourth wall all the time.
Seems Gwenpool has me covered.

The one dude changing his hat constantly was making me laugh but other than that it was pretty lame.

New SG solicit. They should have all the solicits in the OHC as extras at the end.
Haha
Can we be a civil war 2 tie-in too? $5 isn't that much when you think about what you're getting.
I get comics-cringey when i see solicits full of tie-ins to something i don't want to buy.

(Not that it excuses it but) They have a higher page count right?

I read the first two or three issues of each and they are trash. Uncanny Avengers has a paper thin plot and trashy art. The New Avengers are comprised of everyone's favorite B or C-listers and Mindy Cohn impersonating Squirrel Girl.
You've made a wise decision.
CW2 won't bomb even at $5
Where is Angela in the solicits... Oh
Guardians LOL

Double shipped $5 books incoming!
I'll be over here in the peasant MU corner saving a fortune.
This man speaks the truth. BKV is the best.
For some reason I can't get into that art.

They really did it, didn't they? :|
Thats a Prequel about Johnny, Ben and Reed before Susan joined?
I posted one a few pages ago
But they didn't do the telling thing of marking Wierdworld as Wierdworld TP. Its listed as Wierdworld vol 1.
Small glimmer of hope. Can't wait for Del Mundo on hulk though. That will be pretty if his Planet Hulk covers are anything to go by.
The reading order is basically to just alternate between TPBs for both books, so every 4-5 issues on each side forms a semi-self contained arc, and the timeline moves forward that way. Wasn't a huge fan of Avengers by the end of it. The themes just fizzled. New Avengers was baller as fuck though, and actually matters more going into Secret Wars.

Civil War II spoilers:
It's funny... when the first Civil War happened,
Okay, it's not that funny.
It's funny... when the first Civil War happened,
Shulkie's solo series was basically the only Marvel book I was still reading back then. Ten years later they're doing a sequel, and how do they start things off? By killing Shulkie.

Holy crap, an updated chart. The one I've seen always only goes to Infinity. Nice.

Why hasn't Marvel released an omnibus (or two) in this order yet... :/

Honestly though, I think you could just read New Avengers and ignore Avengers completely and get a pretty complete story. A better one too.
P.S. Infinity SUCKED.
I confirm the Illuminati stuff in New Avengers is where it's at. The other series was merely okay.
