Eh, nothing surprises me anymore. People getting busted for this stuff seems not that uncommon.

Yup. He did 47 issues of the 90 GL series, all of the GL: Mosaic series, the first 8 issues of the Guy Gardner book, and a lot of Justice League stuff in the early 90s.

Yeah, and the first "free" issue is CWII #0. They've turned it into just a promotion system for volumes so the next two are the first issue of Captain Marvel Vol 2 CWII and Old Man Logan(the original).

McFarlane must be rich from all these homage covers.
I'm not 100% sure that's how it works.

I lurk enough in here I may as well start posting.
I'm pretty much all Marvel. I used to read DMZ back in the day, and have a few trades but I stopped. I've dabbled in an MU subscription, and one of the only games I play these days is Marvel Puzzle Quest (still, after 3 years). DC just doesn't interest me, and I would only be reading comics at all because of my interest in the MCU and then me playing MPQ.
Fortunately, I have a really great local shop, and I only get floppies. I have some trades, but with Civil War II, Coates writing Black Panther and the Marvel Now relaunch, I figured it was time to get some ongoing books.
Currently I subscribe to:
Black Panther
Avengers
Great Lakes Avengers
Unworthy Thor
Star-Lord
Hawkeye
World of Wakanda
There might be another one or two I'm missing, off the top of my head. I also recently picked up the #1s of Gamora and Hulk, but I haven't actually read them yet, so I may wind up adding them to my list. I tend to take my time getting to my books, so I also might join in conversation about various titles a few days/a week later.
Also I'm in Canada so things cost more here
Enough about me, though, this is becoming a short story itself.
Happy to stop lurking!
I think I'm going to start Black Panther as soon as I'm finished The Omega Men. I also need to get caught up with Aaron's Thor. I read one issue of The Mighty Thor and I really like what he is doing.

Finished Omega Men. That was damn good, pretty much every issue was a stand out. Not sure how I felt about the
though...felt kinda on the nose. But with this and Vision, Tom King seems to have a knack for taking some of the goofier sci-fi heros I never really gave a damn about before and make them really compelling and haunting. Good stuff.
Now I'm gonna start Morrison's Doom Patrol run which I can only imagine is a good decision.

I knew Jones' name sounded familiar. He created Prime in the Ultraverse. I never much cared for Prime though.

Okay, I'm confused. I'm sure this was explained somewhere, but if so, I missed it:
Miles' mom, dad and abuela are the original Ultimate versions, right?
How did they come over?
Where are the 616 versions?
Where's 616 Miles?
Uncle Howie, who is now Peter's decoy/right hand man is the 616 version, right?
So he and Dad aren't technically brothers, right?
Do any of them know they've switched universes or anything? Miles seems to, but what about say, mom or grandma?
Has any of this been explained? (disclaimer: I'm six months behind thanks to the MU buffer)

Miles and the rest of his supporting cast got merged into the main Marvel universe as a gift to Miles from Molecule Man at the end of Secret Wars. Nobody has referred to it so it looks like their history has been altered so Miles' family thinks they were always a part of 616. Bendis probably won't explain any of their new history so don't worry about it.
616 Prowler is Hobie Brown, Miles' uncle was Aaron Davis. They're completely different people.

Bendis specifically set the book 6 months after the change so he wouldn't have to explain anything. He said this in a interview when the book launched.
This way he can do whatever he wants without explaining how people met, Miles got in a school, how he and Peter met etc.
He still says everything that happened to Miles before Secret Wars is canon but it pretty clearly isn't.

Is this the most Bendis thing ever? I think it might be.

I see, so Miles is probably the only one who remembers 1610 at all (other than Evil Reed or whoever). And if there was a say, 616 Ganke (I just remembered, he's another transplant), we'll never hear of it.
So Comixology is having a Kodansha line wide sale, so that's plenty of mangos that can be had at a discount. (Also includes a ton of great stuff that's from Vertical in particular for print copies). So that's cool.
Also apparently there's a line-wide for whatever Aspen is. Looks kind of Zenoscope-y, so eh. But if I'm wrong and there's actually something great in there, I'd love for somebody to speak up and correct me.
And man, I really wish those line-wide sales would get a banner in the "sales" page on Comixology. It's a minor gripe, but I tend to check there to more quickly figure out what sales are on, rather than the slower front page scroll, so it's kind of easy to miss these things.

Yeah, I had no idea. Some highlights from Kodansha people should check out?
The ones I can definitely personally recommend are Flowers of Evil, Mushishi, Mysterious Girlfriend X, Ajin, and if you're up for something that goes really crazy (in my opinion in a really brilliantly over the top way, but some people can't stand it for that), Air Gear. (On that last one, it starts as something akin to a sports series, focused on essentially some amped up rollerblades, but eventually hits a point with
a mech powered by them, essentially Obama switching bodies with a high school girl, and a battle that takes place on top of freaking fighter jets against guys who dress like they're from a JRPG
There's a number of other ones there that I know are well regarded (like Parasyte, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and Vinland Saga), but I don't really have as much experience with those. Plus popular stuff that I still enjoy like Attack on Titan, but that admittedly has plenty of detractors.

Between this and Marvel's news I'm pretty disgusted, tbh.

I'm sure this has been asked here before but search doesn't help much.
Anyone have a good guide for House of M? Which tie ins are must reads and which books before house of M should be read for the set up?
On a different note, how is Snyder's AD: After Death? Haven't heard anything about it till today. Does it stem from another series or is it completely new?

It's an original book. It's very, very text-heavy. I tried the first issue and didn't like it. It's more like a light novel than a comic.
