You don't want the guest-stars to outshine the main character of the book you're reading. I guess?

You say that like Spider-Man shouldn't be able to take on the entire team including Thor on his own.
Nice. I was hoping the new Punisher would be good so I'll have a look. Been awhile since I've been Punished.

If a comic is out of print would you guys buy a volume in a different format to compete your collection? I just got The Punisher Max Vol 1 in hardcover and saw the fourth one costs $200 dollars...
Once I get up to that point in the series I may consider buying it for that much.

I was actually surprised how often they're in this series. I was just expecting them to be in a few issues in the beginning and call it a day.
Should've been more of these scenes.

Just read Black Widow and Punisher, it must be croc week.
Black Widow continues to impress me, had no idea a BW series could be so good. Glad to see Noto's artwork remains consistent.
Punisher was something else, it read good and looked good, but the story was so condensed it's hard to call it a best new series yet.

read.....Immortal Iron Fist or Runaways by BKV. :O
At least hit #26 before you say that.
I have it pre-ordered through 30, i'll probably get 31 but am deciding if i should not pre-order Amazing Spider-Man #1 and wait until it hits Marvel Unlimited to read it. Depends if i can still sell my issues with no problem and care about having a digital code.
Love Runaways. Will definitely check out Immortal Iron Fist. I was thinking about jumping into Young Avengers or just working my way through major marvel events. When was the last real reboot?
Just read both Ms Marvel and Loki. Holy shit. So good. I really don't know what i love better. That last page of Loki though. So good.
So my bro's bday is coming up and he's mostly been a DC guy due to how many non-continuity or classic stories there are in trade (like All-Star, DKR, Red son and the like). I want to jumpstart him on marvel Books and Marvel Unlimited seems like it would be perfect. Is there any way to see what's on the service? I would love for him to finally be able to know what im obsessed with Runaways, Nova (anything with DnA attached really) and Daredevil

I'm still debating on whether or not I want to jump on board the Amazing Spider-Man.
I guess it all depends on how Superior ends. I do like Slott's work on Superior, so we'll see.

OMG yes. The Brubaker / Fraction Immortal Iron Fist was an amazing run. Can't wait for the new series.
I was thinking it wasn't that bad so checked Wikipedia for a synopsis as I only seem to remember a couple of series. The first half of her stories are as far as I remember, there is no way I've read the latter ones, and yes, they seem to be pretty crazy.

Hateful hateful shit. Why Spaceman but no Trillium
I suppose though, all my other Lemire books are softcover, so it'll sit in with them better.
This is something Spencer started with Secret Avengers, which I guess makes for a more sensible stream of thought. Secret Warriors -> SA picks up a few characters -> Spencer keeps his own threads going in Avengers World. Daisy obviously appears in SA, and there are cameo's from
Sebastian and Gorgon
Gorgon
There's a marvel book this week actually that features a group from SW, but I don't want to say it haha since it's kind of a surprise in it.

That's because everyone is dull when they are compared to the motherfucking SUPERIOR SPIDERMAN!
Too be fair no one is as awesome as Peter is either. He's just the best.

Everyone should get Defenders #4, it's the only worthwhile issue from the first arc but it's REALLY GOOD

The Howling Commandos PMC has been hired to hunt Frank Castle and finish him off
It actually makes sense Edmondson would be interested in writing them, if you consider his previous creator owned work in The Activity, and the stuff they like to get up to.
Didnt even make that connection. Forgot all about that subplot since they kinda disappeared at the end of the book to focus on the SWs themselves

New Avengers just started to reference a few things Reed did during Hickman's FF, Infinity has some very very slight references and Avengers 24.NOW takes a note or two from his FF run. But neither New Avengers nor Avengers need any FF knowledge to be understood, nor do the spoil the FF run in any way. It is more or less one or two eastereggs for us Hickman fanat *ahm* ... fans.
Yes. You can find evidence that Dan Slott doesn't care enough to read other books before doing cameos and he's willing to manipulate characters for the sake of his own story.

Jesus man it's nowhere near that bad. The last issue of BotA is a bit poopy, and the first few were a little shaky. However, there is a point in the middle where everything is firing and there's
a new future x-team popping up every issue
Speaking of crossovers, I read Forever Evil 5 last night. I'm starting to really hate the narrative style of "Caption boxes telling a story from youth" PAGETURN "I'm LEX LUTHOR and I blah blah blah". Johns catching Synder disease or something. The issue itself was OK, I liked Sinestro ripping that brah's arm off (SO METAL). But this felt like it should have been #2, not #5. Nothing has happened yet in this story.

As I mentioned last night, experiencing the same with Preacher HC 4 right now too (what is it with 4th volumes??). I think the only sensible thing to do would be to buy it in a format that it's available in. It's only a story - formats are nice, but is maintaining OCD uniformity worth $200 to you? Because it sure as shit ain't to me. Protip - nobody is ever going to judge you based on mixing trade formats up on your bookshelf.

You're in the wrong thread there with that. (in regards to the poster above me talking about buying 2 PS2's for the haul thread on gaming side)
Back on topic with comics Action Comics was damn good this week. Pak has been nailing it. Forever Evil Arkham Wars was mostly MEH, it seems really out of Sync with the main Forever Evil story. It talks about a time frame of weeks, and days and in the main Forever Evil book it's been 48 hours and some big bad is showing up. It just feels not very thought out, not very connected. Argus and Rogues Rebellion are definitely much higher quality than Arkham Wars.
Detective Comics I'm not sure on yet, mostly cause I'm not sure how I feel about Gothopia yet. This was what the 3rd or 4th chapter in the story and I'm still just not feeling it.

Axel Alonso. Just be patient brah, he had the same reaction to the pitch but he said it's going to change the Marvel U forever. Just wait until September for issue 13. I think Cornell Morbuised Wolverine though.
Interview with Ellis about Moonknight. Not much to say or of note. I dont like it when he says he doesn't know how long he will be in the book or that he only does one project a year. For a character like this we need a brah to come out and say "i am going to do the definitive run on this character and ou will have to kill me in gjis ring if you want this belt."
Ah, well, I already put in my order for it, so I'll give an update on how those later stories end up being. Haha. Couldn't resist 600 pages of Frank Miller for $13 shipped.
Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
So Wolverine as a character is fucked for 2 years straight then after all the interviews I've read. Marvel-ous. After Aaron and Remender had finally transitioned him into a sense-making core of the universe, lets just turn him into a random asshole instead.
All because Paul "my entire publication list is a trainwreck" Cornell wants to write some total wank. I apologise on behalf of Britain.

Between the Red Skull and Age of Apocalypse and [GAME OF THRONES SPOILER REDACTED BECAUSE LET'S BE LIKE THEM, INHUMANITY, RIGHT], there's no earthly way the BIG SEPTEMBER WOLVERINE SHOCKFEST isn't his hand getting cut off.
Is Bendis still too over valued at Marvel?
Then yes, it still sucks. I bought the wake collected volume and it's horrid. No sign of a synopsis on the back either, just an advert for that new Frank Darabont tv show.
Dumb. Just dumb.

Woah, Paul Cornell did some great stuff for DC. Let's not get crazy here.
Right, like his run on Action with Lex, that was a pretty great read.
Same with Saucer Country, and however many issues he did on Demon Knights.

I think Cornell is just depressed brahs. Misery loves company and its affecting Ryan Stegman. He is going to be the fourth artist on Inhuman.
