Np. Just shows that Scott takes the initiative and is the best X-Man.

But I won't say anymore. Read Secret Wars, man. Best event Marvel has ever done.

I gotta read the back issues first to understand the story

 

[mreddie]

I'm willing to bet that AoS won't end until the moment the show is cancelled. How bad are the sales for it by now? Last I checked they were kinda bad.

Yep, it's bad but Marvel has let low selling books keep going for awhile.

Infamous Iron Man sounds fucking dope and not shocked Strange is getting a team book. But Solo? Marvel, you gave a bunch of jabronis books last year and it failed! WHY TRY AGAIN?

Oh god the NEWSRAMA comments. "Not my Marvel! Mutant Lives Matter."

 

[Messi]

Infamous Iron Man(Tony or Doom/International Iron Man season 2), Solo(urgh) and Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme that'll probably fail like the GotG team-up book.

Dr Strange is cancelled at #12? Wat... Aaron and Bachalo better be on the strange team up book. Or have another book.

maaaaaan

Not even Aaron's name helped much.

just delayed a month dude

 

[PsychBat!]

just delayed a month dude

oh thank you

 

[ViewtifulJC]

oh thank you

the cancellation, that is. They're delaying the final issue a month and then its being cancelled.

 

[Hagi]

What is Solo? I'm guessing it isn't the Han Solo book getting bumped up to an ongoing. Thor sounds pretty cool even if I was enjoying Odinson not needing a hammer.

oh damn it!

he's one of the gun guys

 

[Owzers]

[Freezasaurus]

THE Gun Guy.

 

[Hagi]

he's the green gun guy...hmm well I guess anyone is fair game these days for an ongoing

hey JC, how are you ranking these story lines? For the thing.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

[PsychBat!]

oh uh yeah the ranking that we talked about

for the thing

is that how the ranking goes?

 

[mreddie]

oh uh yeah the ranking that we talked about

for the thing

yeah I got it riiiiiiiiight here

Batista, why are you pointing at your dick?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I go by the SavageCritic.com scale which roughly translates to:

Excellent (9/10 or 10/10)
Very Good (8/10)
Good (7/10)
Okay (6/10)
Eh (5/10)
Awful (3/10 or 4/10)
Crap (1/10 or 2/10)

Is he going by that ranking too?

 

[TheFlow]

Sa about Doctor Strange ending at #12 when it feels like it can go on for a while but oh well :/

 

[ViewtifulJC]

We can hope, Psych.

We can pray

I don't think it's getting canned, isn't it well sales wise?

it ends at 12 and then becomes more of a team book .

 

[VanWinkle]

Man, Blackest Night is great. Loving the Green Lantern issues that are interweaved as well (the event and the GL issues are in proper reading order in the Johns omnibus which adds some context and story over the event proper). Having a blast reading it.

 

[mreddie]

it ends at 12 and then becomes more of a team book .

So Black Panther gets a solo and team while Strange gets a solo which then becomes a team book.

No Marvel, no bueno.

 

[Sandfox]

Dr Strange is cancelled at #12? Wat... Aaron and Bachalo better be on the strange team up book. Or have another book.

We know the issue is getting delayed, but we'll see if that means the other book is replacing it.

What is Solo? I'm guessing it isn't the Han Solo book getting bumped up to an ongoing. Thor sounds pretty cool even if I was enjoying Odinson not needing a hammer.

Solo is a Spider-Man character from the 80s/90s that now works for Deadpool.

pretty much, but I gotta see how they execute it.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Is Marvel going to keep rebooting their line until people start raving about their books like they did for Rebirth?

 

[mreddie]

So Marvel marks are mad Marvel is replacing some heroes even more despite the fact 5 years ago, the same fans were complaining that Marvel kept focusing on the same heroes and doing nothing.

Basically DC if they didn't botch 52.

 

[TetraxShards]

Is he a good gun guy or a bad gun guy?

THE Gun Guy.

 

[Busaiku]

I still don't get why Marvel decided to keep Regent as just an Amazing Spider-Man villain, rather than something like an event villain.

 

[TheFlow]

they have a lot of great books that I would put above the majority of DC just nobody cares.

 

[mreddie]

Remember when Wolverine was in 2 X Men books, 2 books of his own and was on 2 Avengers teams?

So the marks want that back?

 

[Freezasaurus]

They do, certainly. But their insistance on the $3.99 price-point is definitely hurting them.

 

[Sandfox]

Marvel clearly has their own method that they've been using since arguably Heroic Age. Certain books just get retooled.

We just had RYV and Slott has probably been planning Dead No More for a while so it makes sense imo.

 

[VanWinkle]

Got a beautiful little stack of New 52 books.

Retooled constantly, which is the thing. In the time DC went from the old DCU, to the New 52, to Rebirth - how many times did Marvel revamp their offerings?

 

[TheFlow]

guys real quick. was there a old man logan mini series released around secre wars 2015?

Got a beautiful little stack of New 52 books.

nice! I think it is the definite aquaman run. enjoy

I mean, it's been working.
They've been selling like 2x as much as DC, getting almost 50% marketshare.

 

[Sandfox]

By that I meant certain books get changed up during each initiative.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Guys, stop. I don't even know which Pokémon I'm talking to anymore.

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Theyre canceling the one marvel book i was considering going monthly on once my Rebirth list died down? Marvel is so strange.

Also, got around to Aquaman. I dont really understand why people were smashing this issues art. I mean its nothing special but I didnt find it actually "bad."

 

[TetraxShards]

The Heroic Age
Shattered Heroes/X-Men Regenesis (happened around the same time, SH was more Avengers)
Marvel Now
All-New Marvel Now
Avengers Now
All-New All-Different Marvel

So half a dozen times. Seven if you count Secret Wars replacing the entire line for half a year.

 

[TheFlow]

Old man Logan #1-5 Secret Wars Tie in.

damn this was great. Old man logan is such a cool character. Now unto ANAD OML


edit: ANAd OML is not on MU yet :/

 

[Sandfox]

Heroic Age was before New 52.

Marvel basically does something every year where they either replace or relaunch certain books with changes.

Man, I forgot about the Heroic Age.

 

[TetraxShards]

"Year of the X-Men", and this was only five years ago. How times have changed.
