He pretty much gets completely sidelined for the second arc. He pops up a couple times to troll Tony's girlfriend and then fucks off.
That's pretty much what happens at the end of Bendis' Uncanny X-Men. Basically, everyone goes "the fuck bruh?" and he goes "y'all fuck off now." Then he comes back and unites all of mutantkind for one shining moment so we can see Bachalo draw his Cable that has that star on his fucking shoulder that makes me think it's a Sonic the Hedgehog bumper that you'd find in Casino Night Zone or some shit.
Cyclops' idea was basically no more mister nice guy. Don't do what Magneto did, because that puts a bad spotlight on mutants. But don't do what Xavier did and be pushovers either. He was training mutants to fight because in his mind that was now the most important thing. I liked the idea, but I do agree that the ball was dropped rather unceremoniously.
Cyclops attempted genocide on the Inhumans. Sunfire and some others helped. Cyclops was killed during it. We know, we just don't know the details and they keep dancing around them.
Didn't they "die" during the Brood saga as well?
So she's just a space ninja now? I can dig it.Kitty's the one in blue.
Now, I should hope this is a list of bad/completely mediocre comics, because I otherwise I lack the comprehension as to why that would be on there.
I like that. She doesn't really get drawn thick like that a lot.
You are referring to Captain America: Steve Rogers, yes?
Red Skull is the one behind it. Zemo's just been a tool. Post Civil War, Cap was assassinated, which prompted Bucky to take up the mantle. Then was brought back because he wasn't dead. The bullet suspended him in another dimension or something. More recently, he lost his super soldier serum and was aged. Not having the physical capabilities anymore, he handed the shield to Sam Wilson this time. As detailed in #2, an event called Standoff occurred (which was quite good), in which Cap received his old body back (SSS and everything) and his memories are rewritten so that he was a member of Hydra all along via the Cosmic Cube a.k.a. Kobik -- the little girl who is apparently now pals with Red Skull (who I cannot for the life of me imagine sounding anything that isn't Skeletor-meets-German-stereotype).
Here, you'll need this
I'm intrigued by at least three of thoseIron Man:
Captain America Sam Wilson:
Kingpin:
Batman:

@Digital: Yep, as said before it's pretty much the only way you can read comics in Sweden. This is the only physical store in town and they're 99% old collections:
@No PoC creators on Marvel books: It's easy to find creators but Marvel doesn't seem to care.
Btw, do we expect Marguerite Bennet to be on a Now! 2.0 book or do we think she's done with Marvel for now after the way Angela was cancelled after the first arc?

Angela wasn't cancelled after 1 arc. It was around pre Secret Wars and during Secret Wars. She seems to have her plate full writing 3 books.

I meant the Queen Of Hel part. It got to 7 issues which is a really strange number to cancel on when it had higher sales than books like Drax and Hellcat which are still ongoing. Makes it seem like Marvel didn't want to even give the book the chance to maybe be a hit in trades.
Yeah it got cancelled due to terrible sales. But it's all one story. I'm sure these creators understand how cancelation works. No point in blanking one of the big two over a cancelled book. They gave Angela more time than most books.
They just haven't gotten to cancelling Drax and we don't know what Hellcat is doing digitally. I'd assume that book is on life support too
Sadly yes. They should have cancelled 2099 instead

Looks a bit damaged to me.

Yes I've heard that as well. It was hard not clicking on all those spoiler tags yesterday.
I've also heard that Deadly Class #21, Revival #41, and Shutter #22 are crazy too.
Those will be the last 4 issues I read.
The Reapers are coming!!

Had time to read a couple of comics before going to work:
Flintstones was waayyyy better than I expected. Never read Prez, but Russell did an amazing job of capturing all of the character's voices, it was just like watching the cartoon as a kid. Pugh's art was also much improved from his work on Animal Man. Larger, more detailed characters and the colors really popped.
Bounty was pretty much the opposite of the Flintstones. I'm more forgiving of comics than most people here but this was just weak. Bland story and characters, decent but not inspired art. Probably won't stick around for issue #2.

I heard it pranks your GI Joe's by pulling their hands off. It's such an edgy figure.

I actually really liked this issue of Batman. After re-reading #1 and reading the new one I feel like King is trying to do something different with the structure of the twice a month issues. It seems like he's going for the bigger faster paced issues while slowly sprinkling in the elements of a bigger story.
It kind of reminds me of ANAD ASM a little with how the first big arc developed. It may not be exactly what I expected, but I'm thinking if it works out it could be really good.

It's a good likeness for sure, but I'm not really sure I'm a fan of this Joker design.

I should hopefully receive my first set in the next couple of weeks. I used Houchen and the process is fairly straightforward. And their FAQ section is comprehensive.

You haven't always wished that Joker looked like he sang for Buckcherry?

Unfortunately, the Sandman omnibuses also have the same problem.
A lot of people are getting rid of the Preacher HC sets to upgrade to the Absolutes. So maybe you will find a deal there. (There's a set for sale for $110 on the facebook group).
Batman #2 is the first King batman book I've connected with. The setup definitely had me intrigued.
I continue to enjoy Superman. I really hope it maintains this pace and doesn't go off the rails.
I still need to read green arrow/lanterns, Han Solo, justice league, and the flinstones...too many books!
I think I'm gong to scale back on the off weeks to action comics and Wonder Woman.

I'm still surprised how much I am liking Green Arrow. It went from my most hated book that I was hate reading during DCYOU to possibly my favorite book of Rebirth. The more it heads towards being similar to the show though kind of makes me pessimistic for the future. Hopefully it's done in a decent manner though.
GA and Batman were the only 2 books I had time to read, hopefully get to more later. I had way too many books this week. I need to start trimming my list with having less and less time to actually read.

Especially when they were having trouble getting it out on time. Luckily they haven't had any trouble since I started reading monthly.

If someone wants to make a new thread for it they're welcome. Of the variant covers they've revealed for the Death of X cover month I just remember Wada's Mystique:
posting it now

I'm gonna pass. I have no desire to see the X-men job to the Inhumans or see Cylops die.
What if Cyclops saves the X-Men from the mists? Because that is totally how this ends.
