That's actually pretty great.
Second this so much. I take it you didn't get the Majora's Mask New 3DS XL? I've ordered it twice now and had it cancelled both times. Only bright side is I've gotten $65 in gift cards now because of it. =D
I just ordered Trees off IST. Not sure how it is but I guess I'll find out.

Didn't mind Gillen's Darth Vader. I really don't like Larocca's art, but it's not too bad in Star wars with all the aliens and such. Hate hate hated it in Iron Man though.
It's excellent. More like present day Indies than your standard superhero book. You don't really need to know a whole lot, except it's about the original Starman, Ted Knight, who has retired, and his two sons, David and Jack. It brings in versions of the characters from Starman history (and previous Starmans) but Most references are easy to pick up along the way.

One of the best cape runs of all time. It's a book that embraces the DCS history and the aspects I loved of pre-52. Emphasis on family, legacy, and the notion of passing the torch. It along with JSA made me really love the DCS universe, not just Batman
you don't need to know anything about the character before hand. They explain it all along the way.I was looking at Comics Alliance's Best Art Ever (This Week) and it made me wish Marvel would do something more like this for a new Spider-Man book... it feels fresh even though it's not that original of a way to draw him. It makes me think of a less distorted / more accessible version of what Filipe Andrade did with Captain Marvel.
edit - Speaking of Spider-Man, I'm still really disappointed that Marvel went for a renumbering with Dan Slott still at the helm... I get why they did it, but I feel like it would have been way cooler if they'd have waited until after Slott was gone and someone new was actually doing something refreshing/interesting with the character. I'll be happy when Nick Spencer finally gets his shot at writing the franchise (you know it's happening sooner than later).

Yeah. If it wasn't for the delay and complete lack of clarity in what was in stock or not, it would be a perfect experience. Even with those issues I was really pleased.
Have you read those McKeever/Miyazawa Spider-Man Loves Mary Janes? Not really a "pure" Spidey-book but I think you'd dig it

Get X-23's solo by Liu. Jubilee guest starred for one arc. And the X-Men all female featured Jubilee and was one of the few good parts of it.

I will be reading this starting this weekend. Am going in blind, without any pre-knowledge of the character. Will post thoughts as I go along.

I just tried watching Ultimate Spiderman for the first time, with the Deadpool episode, and holy shit, the backgrounds look like someone google searched things like "city" and "foreign country" then slapped filters on them.
Come on Marvel, you're better than this.

No, I haven't... thanks for the recommendation! Are they on MU? I'll have to check those out this weekend.
They aren't, you should see some gifs from Avengers Assemble.
yeah, just search up "Mary Jane" and just read it in order

Man, fuck cbz. PDFs it is, space be damned.
I tried to watch Avengers Assemble, I really tried. But no Wasp and a boring Hawkeye and Black Widow... I couldn't do it.
Here's hoping Wacker does something out of the box. Or by some miracle spectacular spider-man comes back and Weisman gets his wish. The shit I learned about that series through AskGreg, damn

I never got the appeal of EMH tbh, I never really liked the voice acting or animation or the stories either really. For some reason I watched like 20 episodes though

Well USM has improved since Wacker became head . We just have to see how good the new GotG cartoon is.

Marvel animation is almost universally terrible. Even EMH was just "OK".
Who thought it would be cool to make them all hate eachother?
I agree about Marvel animation but EMH was good. Wolverine and the X-Men however was OK, and by OK I mean the absolute textbook definition of average. I felt empty after every episode I watched.

WaTXM got good later but the show was too little on big plot points till halfway through the season.
Remender.
I only say that because most of his Uncanny Avengers and AXIS involve arguments within the Avengers and violent passive aggressiveness.

But they all didn't hate each other. Only select ones did.
The team still fell apart like jenga.

There's always drama in the Avengers. I'm in the middle of Busiek's run and there's stuff like Carol hiding her powers weakening and becoming an alcoholic, Wanda's relationship with Vision, Clint wants to be hardcore but Steve won't let him, etc.

You just jonesin the second volume as much as everyone else will once they buy the first! Hopefully they will pump them out fairly quick since the series is complete. Maybe like 1 every three months?

I'd say it's pretty good. It started rough but then it started to have fun bringing in comic story lines, interacting with other marvel, chRacters, etc. Marvel animations history isn't great but I'd say Avengers:EMH is the second best marvel animated show behind spectacular spidey. Both died to be replaced with trash shows
And BP was badass in the show and lived up to his status of "the batman of marvel" status

Marvel is ashamed of the comic
