lmao reading comics
Spidey 2099 is really fun, I'm enjoying the book a lot. Unfortunately it's stuck in event crossover status right now so I haven't read the last few. Been craving for my Miguel fix...

Some of those books are sequels from a previous run,
Remender's Captain America leads to All New Captain America
Avengers Arena leads to Avengers Undercover
Avengers World takes place after Infinity
Just added Dark Reign Fantastic Four, Dark Reign Cabal and Fantastic Four #570, time to see what the fuss about hickman is
My queue/library is ridiculous right now, I don't see how I won't resub... you won Marvel Unlimited, you won

Good to see T'Challa being a bad ass again....
All-New Cap is only three issues in- just started.
Avengers World is a supplement to Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers, set after Infinity. It's mostly side stories focusing on lower level team members like Sunspot, Smasher and Shang Chi. It's solid, but unremarkable.
Avengers Undercover is a garbage sequel to the garbage Avengers Arena, written by the garbage Hopeless, built on the premise that killing niche but loved teen characters would bring in the Hunger Games crowd.
Superior Foes is even more comedy oriented, but the style is very similar. If you enjoyed Ant-Man, you'll probably get a kick out of Superior Foes.

Though I don't have as deep a comics background as most in this thread, This run of Comics is my absolute favorite and I could not give a single fuck about the Fantastic Four before I read it. It may start off a little slow, just stick with it, the pay off is absolutely amazing. AAAAAND it then goes into the amazing Avengers/New Avengers run that is currently happening now.
Speaking of which, just finished reading Avengers 40....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That was pretty cathartic.

So... Superior Foes #1 was fucking amazing. Is that like a established fact? Because it should be. Holy shit.
Also, I love this down to earth, every day, "realistic" vibe sone of these books have. I loved it in Hawkguy. I loved it in She Hulk. I loved it in the 6 issues I read of Waid's Daredevil. Why isn't there more shit like this? Why in Galactus's name isn't Spider-Man like this?
Also thanks for the Hickman guide Psych
I saw S.H.I.E.L.D and Secret Warriors when I searched for Hickman on MU but you guys didn't mention those so I didn't add them. I will now correct that

It was pretty much exactly what I was expecting it to be, except it was even better. The writing was actually pretty good (though still just cheesy enough, which is obviously what you'd want it to be) and the art was excellent. It reminded me of a slightly more mature Batman '66 (mature in tone and plot, rather than inappropriate content or something), which was exactly what I was hoping for.
I'm definitely in for any other volumes of it that come out. Highly recommended.
Oh, and the book itself is really high quality. Really thick paperstock and just a quality package overall.

EDIT: Kipp, you read (Pre-New 52) Batman Inc?

Glad to see you're enjoying it, I've really dug what I've read so far. I actually need to read more lol
I already made a post about it, but I think you might like Henshin if you're ever looking for another manga. It's a short read but it's good stuff.
pre-ordered the Majora's Mask LE statue thing set, even though i don't like the statue
pre-ordered the Majora's Mask LE new 3ds, even though i rarely play my 3ds as is.
Yeah, this is a bunch of good ideas totally not driven by supply/demand and buying limited edition things because they are rare.

This is pretty sweet.I made this for Rhaknar and this will also help anyone wanting to read Hickman.
I'd somehow reference Avengers/New Avengers "simultaneousity"
Quality over quantity, brah.
Unless you're John Cassaday. The man can draw on-model spaceships, but ugh, his faces. God damn. Almost ruined Star Wars.
Me too. I mean I watched all three prequels ffs!

I dropped that shit after like, #3.
Yes I have! I think that's where I first learned about Batmanga. I'm really excited to re-read that Japan Batman issue now.
Is this the Henshin you're talking about?
Your post really interested me in it, and then "I Kill Giants co-creator" in the description pretty much sold me on it. I'll definitely try to pick that up sometime.
The pages varied in quality. Some were colored (I think those pages were from the Batmanga hardcover that was released a while back), some were black and white but still really good quality, and a handful were noticeably lower quality but still very clear. Overall, the image quality wasn't an issue at all.
You better be back.

This book man...
Edit: please tell me these are actual Marvel villains and not made up just for this. Because there's a guy with a giant bell helmet and a hippopotamus dude, this is amazing

Speaking of Spider-Verse, how much backstory on Spidey does someone need to know to enjoy the event? I was thinking of buying the hardcover when it comes out, but I don't want to be completely lost.

It's just that good. I've gotta buy the trades to spread the superior love to my friends.

I admit, I didn't stick with it all the way through. Art is slick, but the story didn't keep me hooked.
I'm gonna wait until the last trade comes out, then scoop it all up at once.
Nick Spencer finally gave me a Miami superhero.
The book has so many fantastic easter eggs like that.
The Hippo was in some Amazing Spider-Man stories before this, he was a Hippo transformed by the High Evolutionary cuz :lol comics, and was a member of The Menagerie.

What does a dude have to do to get a Superboy '99 ongoing. His design was too ahead of its time, imagine it coming out now what with tumblr and all that
