Yes, let's all read Usagi Yojimbo because it is pure genius.

Besides the gorgeous art, obv.

I think they have three of them out right now. How many of the TPBs does each one of those beasts contain?
Click to expand...

I am not sure how the TPBs are broken up. I am even having some trouble demarcating "chapters" in the book. There is a large variation in the length of each story.

My plan is to read each of these omnibuses as they come out. And then also get the Fantagraphics box set that comes out later in the year. (Chronologically, that box set happens before the first Dark Horse omnibus but it isn't essential to read it first).

Also the gorgeous art only lasts like 6 issues or whatever it was, the replacement tries to be similar but...yeah...

Also, is that every Marvel book now, officially?

And if not

Marvel, Magic User team up book.

Do that and you're the real MVP.

Hrm

Secret Wars Journal 2 managed to have two very nice stories.

Secret Wars 2099 2 managed to continue being absurdly uninteresting. Also, that hulk design *did not* age well at all.

Loki 15

Like, how does he manage it? Ragnarok? Balls to the walls action? Odin with a vulcan? Sure son, you can have that, but i`ll also tell you the story of Verity Willis, and i assure you: you'll find it more interesting.

So re-reading the description of the Invincible reboot, it probably isn't an actual reboot. For one, the teaser image says "Reboot?" And the storyline indicates that Mark is going to have the opportunity to travel into the past to a key moment (singular). So maybe he realized the mistake he made by
not marrying Dupli-Kate instead.
Either way, it seems like tjis is just a new storyline that's going to change some established things.

I can picture the next issue directly after it:

"Great place to start!"

My only issue with where Invincible went is that basically after
shit hit the fan and just about everyone died and eve had her leg ripped off, they left Earth and were like "Hey man! Isnt it awesome being a happy family? Oh shit, Eve is upset about something, she's gonna make this face again:

Amazing X-Men #14 - even tho its a Axis tie in I liked this. Good Mystique tries to stop evil Nightcrawler from killing some folk. I'm a big Kurt fan (Mystique is alright aswell) so this was easy to enjoy. Nice art too.

Ms.Marvel #10 - awesome issue with Kamala finally facing the Inventor. Dat art, my god. This book doesn't work without Alphona imo. And Lockjaw should be a permanent sidekick, they are too cute together.

Eh, Mark made the right call. He was like, "You know what, fuck this shit." Let Robot take over Earth. But man, that Anissa thing....

Let me paraphrase that whole ordeal:

"So yeah...that whole rape thing? I kinda enjoyed it."

I called that shit from the start.
