Marvel's summer event is a Thanos story by Hickman
Skeptical about what they could possibly have Thanos do now, but it's Hickman, so I'm in.

It's really good, but nowhere near as good as Remender's run. I really enjoyed the Messiah War and Second Coming tie-ins.

I'm excited about Hickman writing Thanos. I don't think anyone does Thanos dialog well other than Starlin (of course). Starlins recent stuff has been horrible though. I think Hickman can do the dialog and obviously he can do large scale stories.

I knew the Age of Ultron shipping schedule and tie in situation was too good to be true. Hope this event changes the Marvel U forever.

where is this preview????
Cheung on art? Hrm. I like his clean style, but his faces tend to look too young, like everyone's a kid.

On the 3rd issue of UXF: Apocaplyse Solution and it's been pretty cool thus far. Only problem is I don't understand half of what's going on in the comic. It seems like quite a bit of backstory is needed to understand the envents taking place(Apocalypse being a kid, the EVA stuff, Archangel and apocalypse, etc.) what issues/volumes do I need to read to understand the backstory of UXF?
You'd probably be safe just wiki'ing stuff.

Apocalypse being a kid is new
Eva- read new x-men/wolverine the list. she is a AI(think EDI from mass effect)
Archangel- Warren lsot his wings , so Apocalypse made a deal where he became a horseman to get his powers back
Apocalypse being a kid is something Remender created for UXF. There's no backstory there. Apoc turning Angel into Archangel is ancient history. Can't you infer enough about it from just reading UXF? I was 100% unfamiliar with stuff like Fantomex, Dethlok and The World before reading UXF and I didn't have any problem.

That's just their FCBD book. I very much doubt he's writing the entire event.
Yeah, it's good. It's kind of homage to Valiant/Lion/Thunder stuff from 60s UK but you don't need to know any of that.
ah, thanks. I'll just wiki the rest then.
And that worlds will collide, that's always key to any event.

You could probably beat Kingdom Come with something, but overall great.

Haven't read JLA one million but the other two are wonderful selections.
Green Lantern #16 and GLC Annual #1 Third Army Conclusion:
It saddens me to see the green lantern books in such shape. They had one great crossover in Sinestro Corps War across two highly involved books and now DC is strangling that success. These new crossovers are terrible, Johns doesn't even care about them in his book, Green Lantern, which for the most part tells his own story ignoring the Third Army. How do you have a "big event crossover" where the head of the Green Lantern franchise doesn't want to be bothered with it. And if Johns didn't want to tell this story, then don't do it at all. What's going on with Jordan/Sinestro is also ridiculous reminders that those two characters still exist, occassionally having a panel saying " hey guys, we are still characters in the green lantern franchise, don't forget about us as we send you a message"

Where is that from??? #cyclopswasright
Variant cover for Uncanny X-Men #2.
Why would he be writing a one-off for an event he isn't writing?

Yeah I read him wrong, thought he said only plays a passing role.
Well Spidey is involved, wonder if he's still an Avenger.
I picked up the first three issues of Fraction's FF, it's really delightful! Going to add it to my pull list to take Multiple Warheads spot.
in Hickman we trust.
I'm glad marvel is giving him so much work, if there's one person i think can handle an event and two crisscrossing ongoing series' - its based hickman.
i don't really care about any of bendis' work right now but as long as it's hickman -> bendis' world and not vice-versa, i think we'll all be OK.
you ain't about that

"the entire event" - I expect this to be a braintrust thing a la AvX
So why wouldn't they just release all the names now?
Because they aren't announcing the whole event just yet. Also Cheung's probably too slow to do an entire series in anything resembling a timely manner.

Sam Humphries is setting up an Ultimate Infinity Gauntlet storyline, and is doing a secret project titled Ultimates: Infinity. Crazy theory: perhaps the Ultimate Universe will be a casualty of this event?
