Ladies and Gentleman. Just got Marvel Unlimited recently. Haven't read comics in a long time. Do I even bother at this point with starting with Marvel Now 1.0? Do I jump on All new all Marvel which I think is 2.0? So freaking confused. I want to get current at a semi decent point. Should I maybe bang out Secret Wars and go from there?

Thanks guys. Love the thread. I'm so out of the current limbo but love reading the comments about the latest stuff.

If you want to get caught up for Secret Empire:
Captain America: Sam Wilson
Avengers Stand-off
Captain America Steve Rogers
Civil War II (or read a wiki entry to save time)

Thor, God of Thunder
Deadpool
Young Avengers
Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers

are the standouts in the Now 1.0

Some of those books still connect to present era.

Marvel Now 1.0 is the beginning of Modern Marvel in a sense(though some would argue that it's Avengers Disassembled). That was back in 2012 though so if you want to catch up more quickly you can start with start with the post-Secret Wars universe.

You could also just pick the books of heroes and catch up on them.

We were talking about floppies? I follow about a dozen titles in floppy. It's how I collect my MVPs.

Yeah, she's getting a new costume as well. This is also the first time we've seen her pop both claws.

Yay! Love Gabby.

What Boom and IDW books do you guys recommend?

Jonesy! Slam!

The first Marvel NOW relaunch is a good place to start, but it really depends on what you're interested in. Are there any characters or teams you're interested in?

 

[BrightLightLava]

What Boom and IDW books do you guys recommend?

***BACKSTAGERS***

Yep.

Giant Days (this is their best book)
Goldie Vance
Lumberjanes until Stevenson leaves
Backstagers

Yep.

Haven't read the others they recommended, but I believe them.

In fact don't bother with Civil War ii just read a synopsis you aren't missing much.

After I finish pleasant hill on MU I'm going to avoid civil war 2 despite the hype for disasters and read some mockingbird. Pleasant hill is part of why I didn't resub to MU in the first place, just another mediocre cape crossover.

I liked Standoff lol.

That's because I made comicsgaf a place where everyone could just like books and be happy.

Which also makes it better than a lot of forums.

Never read it myself

Did I miss anything?

 

[ElNarez]

Did I miss anything?

have you seen the television show "wayward pines"

it is that, except with superhero fights and bad political commentary and it made Captain America a nazi

 

[Sandfox]

Never read it myself

Did I miss anything?

It was basically a celebration for Cap's 75th anniversary with good moments throughout. It also lays down the foundation for Spencer's current story.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Oh my god Lost Girl is such trash. Cross-dimensional incest? Really?

I'm so close...so, so close...

You did your best to keep it afloat, but selling one copy at a time just isn't enough.

I thought JLA Rebirth was just okay. Good enough to warrant checking out #1 but I didn't think there's anything special about it. Lobo grates, as expected. He's a bad fit.

The conversation with Choi sold Lobo as a good fit for the team as far as I'm concerned.

This cover!

YES!

Some punk's about to get wrecked.

Yes.

Greg Land's Weapon X cover is really cool as well

Aaaaaaaaaaw boy

Sam vs Steve. Bout time

Sam is gonna get wrecked harder than he did with USAgent

I liked Standoff lol.

I liked it a lot, too. Especially the Illuminati issue.

Didn't you see all the retailer talk? Marvel is selling as well as Valiant in shops!

(Aren't Valiant starting a event soon?)

Edit: Holy shit that's a lot of books.

@jasonaaron

Know that I will miss writing Doc Weirdo. But I am insanely excited about everything that lies ahead for me at Marvel.

I wonder whats coming next from Aaron, Unworthy is finished next month and his strange run ends in May.

Next Marvel event, Odinson ongoing or a new Series?

If he is no longer unworthy i'm guessing another Thor book considering his thor is popular

He has been writing Thor for a while so I expect him to move onto another high profile book.

I'm not sure.

That's that weird team with Hulk, Wolverine, Spider-Man and sometimes Ghost Rider, right?

I heard Black Panther was part of a fantastic group or am i thinking of Ultimates

 

[Messi]

I could see Aaron being put on Cap. I hope he doesn't leave Thor.

Isn't snotgirl on break until the end of summer?

Wow Dying and the dead is back

 

[tim1138]

I Hate Fairyland comes back in March but is missing in the May solicits, weird.

Dat Scottie Young timetable

Sex Crims solicited 3 months in a row. Maybe they do actually have issues banked. Also Annie Wu XXX.

Bruh that is way to long. For some many unfinished plot threads


Also I love how the old guard will have 3-4 issues while Lazarus is not in the solicits

 

[LordOfLore]

Newsarama has reached out to Marvel for a comment on the missing titles. Nothing said yet.

Everyone talking about Rebirth and Generations but no one talking about 2017's biggest push.

Last year he did the Saga schedule, release an arc, take a break and release the trade, then do another arc.

What exactly is ICONS

What exactly is ICONS

http://www.newsarama.com/33236-valiant-s-big-2017-publishing-initiative-icons.html

"In 2016, Valiant successfully opened up many new frontiers of our universe with successful new properties like Divinity II, Britannia, Generation Zero, Savage, and more. Now, in 2017, our biggest and most iconic characters will be mounting a seismic return to the forefront of the Valiant Universe – beginning with the new X-O MANOWAR #1 by Matt Kindt and Tomas Giorello on March 22nd," says Hunter Gorinson, Valiant's VP of Marketing & Communications. "That series will begin the ICONS initiative in force and is just the first of many new titles of similarly huge scale and ambition for Valiant's most iconic characters that will follow throughout the year as we build toward the previously announced HARBINGER WARS 2 event in 2018.

 

[Messi]

Yup. Maybe he missed a deadline due to the fcbd issue?

They know you will wait.

Solicits mean nothing to Rucka. Lazarus is solicited but keeps getting delayed

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Hella good sale on Valiant collections going on at CMX. Some of the deluxe collections are $6-7!

 

[tim1138]

Oh you know what, I bet the FCBD issue is the May issue.

 

[LordOfLore]

Grabbed a bunch of books at a book sale. Probably going back for some GL and Cap collections tomorrow.

 

[Pandora012]

So far the only marvel comics I pick up are Uncanny Avengers and She-Hulk. I think I might pick up the trade with the female thor. It looks interesting from the few pages that I've read.
So any must reads from Marvel?
