It's a terrific character study with a nice, slow burn. The CWII issues were one of the best parts of the whole event.
The mighty captain marvel #0
yea I do not care for the story at all. never was a fan of her, but at least I gave it a try. plus alpha flight hasn't been interesting to me in a while.
The biggest sign was that if I didn't like her in a team book I probably wasn't going to like her in a solo.
sorry guys.
I think Gamora is the only book I am going to continue with for a bit.
Great lake avengers and Wakanda are my danger zone books. Giving them till the #3 issue to convince me.

Putting Alpha Flight on a space station was a wild, fun idea with all sorts of potential that they totally failed to tap into
Haha, nah, second hand prices are insane.
My wife is actually the statue collector in our household. She has the Robert Valley Wonder Woman, the SDCC Super Best Friends Forever set, and the SDCC SBFF Poison Ivy.
I think the new run is actually supposed to be playing with Alpha Flight more.
That's good to hear,
the spoilers of #1 may have been unavoidable, but looking forward what else the book has to offer
I put on my list

I think the only way to fix it is to bring in the characters with more interesting powers and put them in situations where they're on a planet or fighting in the space station so they can actually use them. Using two of the most recognizable characters, Puck and Sasquatch, might have seemed like a good idea but they don't have great power sets. Aurora is such a nobody up there I often forget she's part of the team. (Was she in MCM at all? I think so...?) Get Shaman and Snowbird up there. Where the fuck is Northstar, the character with more personality than the rest of the team combined? They messed up on the character select screen, badly.
And MCM was more of the same, same characters relegated to fighter pilots, that's a textbook example of underutilized characters. So I doubt they're planning on putting Alpha Flight to work in a truly meaningful way
Edit: you know what. I bet Northstar isn't up there so Carol doesn't have to live in his shadow
listen the spoilers in #1 are nothing compared to what else happens in that book.
I think what they're are planning to do is bring in new members and make Alpha Flight more important to the overall plot, but it's still a Carol book so who knows.

Don't worry. You'll get to spot the flaws in your new statue in no time.

What are you talking about. That was the only highlight of the movie.
Random question that pisses me off to no end right now: Why is Comixology&Amazon, i.e. books you buy at Amazon show up on Comixology, only available in the US?
I'm sitting here on Amazon credit, I want to spend them on comic books, but I don't see why I should buy any if they're not available for me at Comixology. Germany by the way.
Edit:
At least that is what I assume, given that Comixology is not mentioned anywhere on German Amazon.
Edit 2:
Apparently it...works nonetheless? Man, couldn't they just tell me that on their website?

Yessss DC sale
Bleh, that was a bit of an undertaking. I've finally banished to the "Archived" section all the random single issues of crap accumulated under Comixology's "Free Comics"->"Add All to Cart" that I had done plenty of in the past. Admittedly a few of those may come back at some point as a good chunk were from when Image gave away literally every issue #1 they had on the service, and some of those may still turn out to be something I'll want to check out. But yeah, if I didn't recognize the title and it wasn't a significant chunk of something (IE there's some random stuff in there that's probably still trash, but I allowed it to stay in that section because the one thing I had of it from those freebies was like, 200 pages or so), then it got punted.
My library on Comixology went from having over 800 series to 517, which is a lot more manageable to browse through.
Edit: Though I did accumulate a lot of crap this way and thus created some busy work in having to shove it aside, this was still totally worth it btw, as I've had plenty of times where I'll find I already own an issue or two of a series and thus save a couple of bucks when picking it up.

I don't remember seeing that in the movie. Was it one of The Joker's cut scenes?
Awful movie.

Did you buy the version that came with a prequel comic?
There was only one version I could get and it was discounted fairly heavily it was like $10. I also bought
Batman vs Superman
I'm not up to speed with new comics. What books are you talking about that have Alpha Flight in them?
Cap Marvel.

Maybe I'll give her a try since it just started. I don't know squat about Captain Marvel but I don't want to miss anything Alpha Flight.

Mighty Captain Marvel? #0 was alright. But it also requires some foreknowledge of Civil War II.
Dread levels increasing. Someone on Amazon said theirs was broke in two places but their review was removed.

It's obviously a conspiracy. Mine came in a box with 3 other statues from DCBS and everything is fine.

I haven't read the most recent issue, but that's kind of part of it all: the team is falling the fuck apart. Everyone's going nuts and it's AWESOME
I really feel they didn't push the concept enough.
The first arc and Spectrum arc seem to be the only arcs that felt like a Squad book.

I like the shit with Warrior Woman and how Power Princess still managed to fuck her up, though
I can understand what you're saying, but it's the natural progression of a group that got together to kill Namor and for no other reason, no matter what they tell themselves. Naturally they'll fall apart once that goal is fulfilled. Especially since Nighthawk has plans of his own and Warrior Woman ended up evil

Even Moon Girl and Ms. Marvel get no mercy. lol
Okay, it took some doing and a few customer service reps but they're going to ship me a new Harley from Amazon first party and refund me the difference between their price and the lower 3rd party price.
I think they expected me to just pay 20 dollars more for the same statue even though they would both be fulfilled by Amazon.

Best part of the movie. And I enjoyed Suicide Squad.
