CMX added a whole bunch of classic Captain Marvel, classic GotG and Spider-Girl issues today.
Iceman suddenly being gay out of nowhere is still so bizarre.
And kinda insulting to be honest. Someone doesnt just become gay one day after years and years with no hints at all.
The only way it makes sense to me is if Jean Grey fucked with his mind.
Strange i would think they would already have Carol Danvers
Making him bi probably be better but it's too late now
May Day Parker Spider-Girl? That was the best comic.

I still think it should've been Illyana. She's more popular, hasn't shown much interest in either men or women, is Kitty's soulmate and Claremont and a ton of other writers already teased her with Kitty. Her being together with Leah in Battleworld was also well received.
They still probably could nothing to stop them except from the anti-sjw groups but otherwise sure. Too bad Leah is gone and is with thanos now.
I could see Illiyana being gay or bi. That makes a whole lot more sense than Iceman.
Fucking Marvel have all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Actually, that Leah showed up in Queen of Hel and left in a car with Thori before Bendis/Marvel could ruin Angela and Sera's happy ending.
These people in the comments thinking that Mr. Sinister being sassy would be something new.I'll just find any excuse to post Sinister London
Sinister London was dope as fuck and between that and the Manchester Gods, I wish Kieron Gillen would get back to the big Social Commentary Comics because he's fucking great at it. There's some of it in WicDiv, but it's not what it's about and I really miss it.

I'm hoping Ludocrats might have a bit of it.
Both
Adult one revealed he was a closeted gay guy, tough with the reveal that O5 are from another universe that can be retcon.

General rule of thumb thought, of course there's exceptions but: Superhero comics have been so bad in the past at giving their casts long term significant others, normal relationships or giving panel time to normal every day life stuff like whether a relationship or having kids can work under any strain, nevermind super hero weird life styles (a good modern example is Lemire putting it front and center in Animal Man though). In that sense, I'd find it hard to be surprised or put off by any marvel or dc character comkng out as gay or bi bar a few cases. Of course in previous publishing eras no character would have previously gave you the idea they are anything other than straight. Iceman feels like as good a choice as any if you want to work it into classic characters oppose to always making a new character. Now whether the creative team and Marvel at large can put out a good book that brings in these elements, that's another matter haha

Oh I know they are sticking around I just dont know why.Haha Ive got bad news for you
What purpose do they serve anymore?
It's just confusing, especially when there are other versions of two of them knocking around.
I just want kid Apoc and Idie back
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
Haha Ive got bad news for you
Saves me the the cost of having to buy a Marvel book ever again I guess. So there is that.
I'll never not laugh at how terribly this was handled especially now we know they aren't even from the past but it is what it is. I'll check out the 6 issues his series will last.
It's called having your cake and eating it too.

What's the difference between these two Ultimate series? Is the second one a reboot? If you can answer it without a spoiler... =P
Ultimate Spider-Man (2000-2009)
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (2009-2012)

Ultimate spiderman would be such an investment at this point, my wallet would cry. I'd probably just start at Amazing Spiderman or Spiderman (miles) that started after Secret Wars. Only a few volumes to catch up and entirely written for folks to be able to follow. That, or hold off for the new spectacular spiderman book, will be even more accessable than amazing. Then again, I haven't actually read a regular spider book in ages. Renew your vows looks fun though. It's the Spiderman book I thought the future would be as a 90s kid reading the clone saga lol

I'm not sure that's how it works. Also, I would assume they went that direction with Iceman because people were already speculating that he was gay. Bendis didn't handle it well though.
I'm expecting good things from this book.
Or just go to Marvel Unlimited and read everything there. The current Amazing Spider-Man is not something I can recommend to someone who wants to start with the book.

Haha that's true, I didn't even think of that. I still don't really consider MU when thinking about catching up on stuff. The last Amazing I read was worldwide vol. 1. I found it fine and I hadn't read since Spider Island before that but it's moot, the MU idea is a better one.
I wonder who the replacement will be.
With ASM I think where to start really depends on the person.

Just going on the art of Dead Orbit I completely agree with number 1.

Stokoe is only underrated relative to how much Orc Stain he gave us. Draw more and they will come.

I've bought yesterday the Masterworks vol. 1 and 2. I'll read 'em first and than I will consider signing to MU.
MU seems pretty awesome, my only issue with it is that I also like DC, and in my current situtation it may be quite rough to my wallet. lol
Maybe there are some collections or story arcs that are more economic and will suffice what's necessary to catch up the new comics?

I was trying to answer this with my post before. Spiderman vol 1 by Brian Bendis for Miles Morales spiderman, very simple jump on. Amazing Spiderman worldwide vol 1 by Dan Slott for jump on to Peter Parker. Calls more on past continuity but it's the cleanest recent break. There's only a few volumes of both at the moment, so if you like, it's easy from there. There's an even more accessable spiderman book starting soon but thats awhile out for your own purposes.
He needs to release a new Death Vigil before he deserves to be on another list
Does he count as underrated?
Shaner on the list reminds me I need to pick up Future Quest at some point now the trade is out.

I guess you mean those?
Spider-Man: Miles Morales Vol. 1
Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide Vol. 1
I was recommended to read: One More Day and Brand New Day as well. Maybe they're good to get the relevant past events?
Donniewahlberg
Banned
Those are the ones, yea.
Those books are quite a ways back now, one more day and brand new day, nothing wrong with reading them or anything, but you'd have quite a lot to wade through afterwards if you wanted to catch up from there. The last major jump on before worldwide was probably Amazing Spiderman vol 1 the Parker luck I think the arc was called. Still Dan Slott, was started fresh after Superior Spiderman, and runs for 4 volumes including Spider verse, which was a quite well received event. After that Secret Wars happened, rebooted marvel's line and Worldwide began (and introduced Miles into the main Marvel universe, he existed in a separate what if type universe before hand)

Marvel Unlimited's probably the best route. It's worth it, it's a great run.
I bought the final trade to finish my collection recently because I wanted them physically
and make poor choices in life.

Ahaha. Well for the sake of simplicity and helpfulness I refrained mentioning that I would do the exact same, I'm too stubborn and attached to physical trades at this point. MU is a great idea, but for me, I would probably settle in for the long haul and buy how ever many trades it took. I also make poor decisions
Villalobos was having fun with that last week and over the weekend on Twitter

I don't it's too late. Being bisexual can be confusing. Coming out can be something you need to do over and over again. Given a writer who has insight into this, they could certainly reveal that he's bi at some point in time.
This is the first I heard they were from a difference universe. Makes sense, I guess?

MU always seemed like a good idea to me but every time I got it I forgot I had it after a while and kept paying for it even though I wasn't using it. Least with trades they sit on my shelf judging me until I read them.

Thanks! =)
I will keep that in mind, I think I'll start with Miles Morales!
By the way, out of curiosty. Are Marvel movies related to certain events, or they're [partially] independent from it? I ask, cause it seems to me Homecoming is an Peter Parker begin story, but at the same time quite distant from the original events (Uncle Ben and stuff).
He's working on it. It's am OGN now instead of issues. Out later this year.
Absolutely
I read and ended up getting the first tradeback of the Miles Morales run. I digging it a lot, and the art is really good. I can already see that it does go quite slowly, but still good stuff, and well going by the trades, I don't think it would be that big of a deal, instead of waiting by the issues.
Anyway bout time I was giving Miles a round. A while back I had gotten a small lego set that was him vs Carnage, and I thought his suit look pretty cool.
