I love it so much. Ryan North is a treasure.
The Button was 4 issues in as many weeks, JL vs Squad was a 7-issue weekly with four tie-ins.
Metal is the big one, and it's 6 months, plus two if you count The Forge and The Casting building it up.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Barf barfing that up was a fitting metaphor for this event, and those two issues
hahahahaha
That's fair enough. Plus I suppose this Venomverse stuff is actually weekly
Are you kidding me??
Injustice 2: I like this take on Barbara Gordon. Actually I think I like the character of Barbara Gordon more than the concept of Barbara Gordon. Like, I read and enjoy her in books a lot, but at no point would I say "yeah I'm a fan of Babs". Damian still is a little shit. This is some great lore for a game I'm not interested in.
Jean Grey: I'm revising the list. This is easy the top Ongoing X-Book and it's not even close. I love that Young Jean has completely different powers manifesting than Pheonix. Also, Olivia Munn was probs the biggest miscast in the X-Men movies.
Mister Miracle: Maybe it's because I don't have a great DC frame of reference, but I really didn't "get" most of this. That being said, the part I got was fascinating and I wanna see where this goes.
Rocket: I probably should have dropped this last month, but I didn't. Who knew that a Deadpool cameo would make Rocket one of the best books of the week? It was more or less a standalone issue and I strongly recommend it. Shockingly good.
Secret Empire: I think for all its flaws, Secret Empire is still an interesting concept. I think that it could be redeemed via a different medium (audio drama, novel, movie). That being said, fuck off Spencer re
. I have thoughts about the last page reveal, but they are loose. Something along the lines of energy can't be created or destroyed and in parallel
Also, I'm glad
so the tie ins can drop the event.

Black Panther
the souls of Steve, Kobik, and Skull can never truly die, which in turn leads to an extrapolationary theory about the metaphysics comic book death and why no character who dies stays dead
Also, I'm glad
Darkforce and Planetary Shield are gone
So are they now DC exclusive?
Amazing Spider Man: Has Peter showed up in Secret Empire at all?
Mr Miracle was an interesting first issue.
Miracle and Omega Men spoiler:
Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Miracle and Omega Men spoiler:
clearly Scott's 'escape from death' mindset is a 'beheading Kyle' type misdirect but I am definitely wanting to know more, especially with Oberon and Godfrey in the fray. Felt very Vision for me, though not quite as unsettling.
Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
I really hope not. I'd hate to see Magdalene Visaggio have to give up Kim and Kim, Quantum Teens to go DC exclusive.

He was in the FCBD issue but I think that's it.
Wait, Scott Synder has Image books, I doubt they would have to give up their books.
Yeah, Peter has spent two months doing nothing?

DC exclusive just means no Marvel work.

In my head canon the two month time skip didn't happen because it doesn't make any fucking sense

I wasn't... hugely impressed with the one issue of Kim & Kim: Love is a Battlefield I read. Weird plotting decisions.
No idea. Was anybody actually brave/foolish enough to read the new Hal issue?
HYDRA America = Springfield from Simpsons Movie.
Inhumans = Inhumans in comics, bueno.
Inhumans in TV, AY CARUMBA
Ms. Marvel = Oh, that CW2 tie in makes more sense now.
Secret Warriors =

Ms Marvel Continues to be the best comic running. The last 4 pages was also one the the best and most succinct explanations of how, scores of young white men have been radicalized into racist fascist shit Lords
Nah, only person from the workshop that went exclusive was Joelle Jones.
They should really be clearer with that term then.
I wish Tom Kink never went exclusive

I was hoping for a much different take on Mister Miracle from Tom Kink

Even higher ones have a lot of potential. I think a Spider-Man book by him could be very interesting, especially with a focus on relationships like in Vision/Mister Miracle.
Secret Warriors: Can I just say right from the start that the who's who page can fuck off? No one thinks Lunella is dead. NO ONE. I will support this team if they remain this hilariously dysfunctional. Karnak is such an ass. People really don't know Hawkeye is deaf, huh? Karnak is fucking ruthless!
I want a Karnak Deathstroke book.
Doctor Aphra: this book has no chill at all. Chelli seems to go from bad situation to worst situation every issue. I love her so much. I hope she's the new Sloane.
Cassian & K-2SO: is this a one shot or a series? The cover says 001 but it ends with no preview or to be continued. Well, I like it well enough and I'd read more if it happens.
Suicide Squad: Waller is a complete monster. Also, Harley Quinn is a surprisingly effective leader. I've always said she's more than she gets credit for, but this just proves it. That being said, it's completely impossible for Suicide Squad and Harley Quinn to both be happening. It's just not possible to rectify that continuity.
Ms. Marvel: Holy shit. This is so consistently excellent. It's weird though, because the arc of the story in Ms Marvel is a better Secret Empire tie in than the actual tie in that Secret Empire is using Ms Marvel for. Also:

how the fuck do people not know that that's Kamala? I'm head canoning that she slightly changes her size while heroing.

oh wow, good to see Joey Esposito is still writing comics. Good guy, listened to his IGN comics podcast years back.

Characters I would like to see King write, off the top of my head: Moon Knight, Daredevil, Jessica Cruz, Wonder Man, Hyperion, Alfred
Spidey doesn't make my list but I'd take him on a Kaine book.
Not me. SupOck is the best

Doctor Aphra and Cassian & K-2SO are both really good, hopefully the writer of Doctor Aphra brings the same goodness, and a good artist, when he takes over for Jason Aaron who honestly doesn't feel like he knows what he wants to do with the Star Wars comic anymore.

I wish Cassian & K-2SO was an ongoing. I want more stories with those characters.
I was so pleased while Reading Clone Conspiracy, just to see Otto becoming this ugly, laughable looking Parker Fake.
How the current Issue of Spider-Man, anyway?
I heard Parker Industries is finally done and gone for good?
Yeah, they work so well together.
I liked the Jean Generations issue. It was a fun little story that makes me want to read more stuff with the character.
Yeah, I prefer the new version.
I think this arc probably had the best conclusion Slott has had in ASM in a while. I liked it as a whole.

I am waiting for Marvel to release "K-2SO Kills the Marvel Universe."
Thanks.

Fucking Finally.
People on the Facebook side of Spider-Man Crawlspace complain, that
Spider-Man cant have Character progression and stay the bad Tony Stark Ripoff forever.
The question is when.
If the speculation about Peter's new job is true I would consider that to be a more fitting way to progress the character.
What is it?
