Last week: MARVEL Broken NOW is gonna suck
This week: Nevermind, that Dodato art sucks balls though.

Lol I was saying that a few days ago.

 

[Sandfox]

Deodatos art is amazing, I hope he gets a great book I actually care about.

I'm guessing he'll be on the book with Doom in it.

 

[mreddie]

Did IDW have anything out this week?

 

[TheFlow]

Riri's iron man costume looks nice. Basically a more feminine suit

 

[Messi]

I'm in for the creative team, and I hope The Mighty Thor continues on.

Coming this Fall, The Unworthy Thor, by Mighty Thor writer Jason Aaron and artist Olivier Coipel, will follow the god’s escape and captivity—revealed to be at the hands of none other than cosmic archiver the Collector—and his journey to becoming a hero once more. But he’s not taking Jane’s place: Unworthy Thor is expressly a companion series to Mighty Thor. The Odinson is forging his own path, and will even wield his own hammer... one that actually has some pretty huge connections to the Pre-Secret Wars Marvel universe.

It's staying

Something from the current Transformers event but nothing else of interest really

[GAMEPROFF]

But when I can open the toilet, is the toilet worthy or is it not?
Or is my toilet then a elevator?

 

[echoshifting]

The toilet lid should totally open and knock the hammer onto the floor imho

I had to hold my nose while carrying that in here.

That gave me cancer

FUCKING YES

Aaaaaaw that's cute

 

[Lashley]

Totally Awesome Hulk was good this week, imo.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Speaking of, how is Jane doing? Health related I mean.

Still dying of cancer

Every time she morphs into Jane-Thor, it reverts all the "good" the chemo has done

Ouch.

 

[Messi]

Ouch.

Oh no. Tell me these weren't in the works and cancelled

 

[Neoxon]

Ouch.

This is the kind of shit we missed out on, & not just because Disney Infinity went tits-up.

Oh no. Tell me these weren't in the works and cancelled

Fan-made, the video game ban is still a thing.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh no. Tell me these weren't in the works and cancelled

I am sorry.

Speaking of mutants in Disney Infinity, Avalanche pitched concept art for a Wolverine figure before it got shot down by Marvel.

Marvel burying x-men in these kinds of things constantly bothers me and upsets me. They deserve much better.

Indeed they do. And sadly, with there being so little awareness of what's going on, Marvel's getting away with it.

Ike Perlmutter is ass old.
Sorry when this sounds like an asshole, but just give it time.

If Feige manages to reach a deal with Fox, Perlmutter will either be forced to hold that L or resign.

 

[Sandfox]

I would like to see X-Men figures, but it wasn't going to happen with Infinity either way unless they had a Marvel cartoon or movie.

The movie devision doesnt matter in that case.
Perlmutter is the one who most likely enforced that no Fantastic Four or X-Men rule, he once yelled at one if the office worker because he had a Fantastic Four poster on the wall an forced him to take it of.
Also he is head of the Toys Division...

 

[Neoxon]

There was apparently concept art of Wolverine in his Astonishing X-Men costume (the one used in the MvC3 games). But again, shot down by Marvel.

Spider-Gwen says hi.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Thats cool. They want me to buy thier books but thats shot down by Spider.

 

[echoshifting]

I feel like the death of Wolverine is still keenly felt in the X-books, and really across the entire Marvel line. Yeah he was overexposed but he was also a pillar of the universe. OML is nice to have around, as is Laura, but it's not the same. Never thought I'd say this but I miss him.

 

[GamerKingFaiz]

Cool little setups in all the mini stories. I think I'm gonna enjoy this series. It'll be a nice side story alongside the main event, just like Frontlines with the first Civil War.

I loved seeing Robbie's progression into becoming Penance.

Man, I really hated it. Not worth the high cover price imho.

The Night Thrasher story was especially lame. I really don't need to see the

Edit: damn why is that such a corny ass name

They are the Champions, my friend
And they'll keep on fighting 'til the end
No time for losers, 'cos they are the Champions
Of Marvellllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Also he is head of the Toys Division...

Did they get these out without him noticing or something?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Celestials seem to be on earth like two times in 6 months.

 

[TheFlow]

Ouch.

Omg I would pay big bucks just to have this sitting on my shelf

What are you expecting from a cross over series? Of course there's going to be inclusions of past scenes, albeit from different perspectives.

Engaging stories and decent art? Worth the high price tag?

We just had very different experiences of that comic it seems, which is fine. Opinions and all that, ya know. Nick's story was okay I guess but I thought the latter two were terrible. The Damage Control story was boring and lame. It dragged on forever.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

art is abysmal

this post is bad

Transformers: Till All Are One #2 came out, I don't think there was much else.

When Logan comes back you know shit is going down

I can definitely agree that the art is not up to quality with the main event or even the other crossovers.

And yeah, sure the construction crew story with a sentient bulldozer hero is a bit weird, but I think it can potentially lead to something cool. It was all set up like the beginnings of Civil War: Front Line, wasn't super interesting from the get go, but all the story arcs ended pretty nicely, especially Robbie's story.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

When Logan comes back you know shit is going down

And with him Scott. Boom.

 

[echoshifting]

I can't believe Logan, Scott, Xavier and possibly Emma are all dead. Man. Take out Storm and it's all over. There's no leadership for the X-folks.

100 percent they are not dead. No way. You can serve crows.

 

[LordOfLore]

Had a big post about a couple of things but it got swallowed by bad internet.

@Unworthy Thor: Not picking up the issues, waiting on trade. After how long it took for the obvious pre-SW twist to be revealed despite promises that the reveal was happening the next issue every month, how we still don't know what Classic!Fury said years ago and how Agent!Loki is gone I was skeptical Mighty could win me over in two issues and it didn't. I'm trade/sale waiting all Thor books.

@Toys: Big post about how mad I am that we can't even get things like good LEGO sets. Original post had me write so many "I'm mad" that I would probably get a tag.

@Choosing Sides: We couldn't even get a good Night Thrasher story and I was looking forward to that after Ewing brought him back! I expected way more.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Necrosha 2.0?

Yes, but worse.

Nah the one they are talking about is written by Becky Cloonan.

God dammit, my new cell phone is still changing shit that I type. I'll get it trained properly. It already recognizes the word waifu.

Omg I would pay big bucks just to have this sitting on my shelf

No you wouldn't. They're like 3" tall.

 

[echoshifting]

Who isn't dead? Xavier and Logan are deader than dead. Scott is almost certainly dead. Emma is the question mark but if she's not dead I expect a heel turn which would be even worse.

 

[TheFlow]

Yes, but worse.

I would. I don't even own the game but bought severs of the figures. I would easily pay 60-70 bucks for that set.

 

[LordOfLore]

Just got this in the mail:

Guess we know some books that aren't ending with Now! 2.0.
