The Ultimate characters can come to 616 and we can have 2 teen-Jeans! And then AoA Jean can come over as well. Who needs the real Jean Grey anyways? 3 is better than 1.
Heh yeah, I read Thanos Imperative now and got out my Infinity Gauntlet comics out to read too. It's destiny.
But ANX Jean is the real Jean.

I don't think marvel should do another event by committee again

The real Jean before she got a personality.
Yeah I hope she gets over that "waaaaah I'm dead and a psychic" shit really soon.
AvX was a huge money maker, Marvel can pretend that it was a quality book and the blueprint for future events.
We are doomed.

That Kickstarter was such a mess. Disgraceful.
Didn't someone in here say they saw a copy in a comic store?

Yeah. There are in shops and Amazon at one point. I ordered one just a few weeks ago. Sucks cuz I like both Stokoe and Mark Andrew Smiths stuff. Some brahs just need to stay out of the business side.

But, she's dead. And a psychic.
Seriously though, I'm betting this issue or next she starts turning the corner.
nice joke
Yeah I like both guys, and I really do think they meant well but the problem with Kickstarter / self publishing is that you have to handle every aspect of the process - many of which you probably have 0 experience doing.
It's really soured me on Kickstarters that are for actual products. I'll still donate to the occasional cause, but man, I feel like I'm just getting screwed.

I wouldn't include Stokoe in that. Vibe suggests strongly that he was involved on a work-for-hire basis and had nothing to do with the kickstarter. So, not really a "they".
I don't get it?

Maybe he's not a Nick Spencer fan? I'm willing to give it a shot but I haven't liked his Ultimate X-Men stuff.
Yes! SUch a great book from the early 90s. It was definitely Marvel's Teen Titans but I think I was a bigger fan of New Warriors because I was too young to appreciate TT in its prime. Those first 50 issues of New Warriors are just excellent.

PArt 2 of Bendis Avengers Retrospective
really cool stuff
also mentions the HEros for hire is not even a book yet, still in the concept stage

It's pretty shitty that backers don't have it yet but stores and Amazon do.
I hope it does become a book, I kind of like the characters and it's obvious he does.
Daaamn. Reading that and the piece at guttersnipercomics about Mark Andrew Smith, if it's true what he does. So glad I passed on the kickstarter, the main draw was Stokoe.
I feel dirty for having bought the first trade of Gladstone's

Daamn. That sucks. I see what everyone is talking about now.
That's filthy fucking horseshit right there.
He's one of the only artists I'm not mad about filling in for Hawkguy.
You really ought to. So good.
just finished up Flex Mentallo and some Sigur Ros. my brain is done for.
woof. at least my love for Stokoe remains untarnished.

What is an omnibus, a hard cover with the full run?
Also, I saw on tfaw.com that Uncanny X-Men is starting this month and it says it's the "flagship" of all the X-Men series. Do you guys expect it to be good? Jon Bones sent me an extensive list of older X-Men titles to check out, but if I was going to subscribe to one currently ongoing X-Men should this be the one?

It's really up in the air whether or not it will be good. The writer, Brian Bendis, is known for being VERY hit or miss. He's done well so far on his other X-Men book, All New X-Men. I think most people here will be picking it up and it's definitely the flagship book.
Not always. They usually are hardcovers with a really high page count. In some cases that's enough to cover a creative team's full run on a title. In others, that run might be split over a few volumes.
Insufferable Spider-Man #1 was mediocre, i did laugh at the rape face otto gave while on the phone with MJ. Insufferable Spider-Man #2 was even worse with
And lastly, Carlie is a bad detective.
Ghost Parker on every page complaining. There's a reason why body switching stunts are typically one episode long, they are annoying. This book is annoying.
That's pretty terrible.

I just hope now that Bendis is off Avengers I'll never have to see Deodato on a book ever again in my entire life.
