Cloak and Dagger would be great, but I think the artist would play a big role in my interest level.

Well, I've been keeping up with it on the sales so I had up to 150 and after I caught up on Invincible I figured, fuck it, and just bought the most recent 6. I'm on a vacation with lots of time on my hands in the uninhabitable heat swamp that is South Florida and it's a PokeLight zone, so I have lots of reading time in my hands. I was really stuck in all the prison stuff. I had read the Compendium ages ago in print so trying to get through that again was such a slog. Now that I'm past it it's such a breeze. Kirkman, for all his faults, is super good at stringing together compelling circumstance, even if the charac beats are thoroughly one note.
Birdie can't get enough of the TV show.

Down for New Runaways, and Hawkkate. Was she in anything besides that terrible hawkeye book?

Yeah, in hindsight I can see how the prison story would be a bit of a slog to get through. But the series gets much better after they finish that arc.
I can. I mean, it started getting better recently, but the last season or two before that I found terribly boring.
The failure comes when the book comes out.
The good Hawkeye book and the Duggan Hawkeye stuff, dunno why Duggan didn't do AN Hawkeye, he clearly gets Clint/Kate.
Ultimates to be renamed Avengers and Captain Marvel removed from the team to be replaced with someone decent.

God damn. Savage.
Avengers Undercover was kinda like a new Runaways book lol.
Kate was also in the good Hawkeye book and she has made appearances elsewhere.

The end of Fraction's Hawkeye was so perfectly set up to segue into a run dealing with her family and Clint being the mentor.
Well, we got something slightly different...

That's the way I want to remember it, but I'll never be able to purge "You're a real hawk-eye." from my memory.

Yeah, I knew that bit. And Both Young Avengers runs, I just couldn't remember if she was on another team or something during ANAD. Her solo,adventures in LA were great in Fraction's stuff.
And nice avatar, Freeza. Jasper's a boss.

Brother Voodoo.
She was in an issue of Ant-Man.

Oh yeah, that was nice. It also helped to figure out what was going on with Cassie's age in that book.
Amazing book. At least Viv lives on in Champions

Let's not forget the time when Marvel thought it was a great idea to slap a huge #1 on every first issue of a new story arc despite the issue not actually being #1 in the series.

Got my hardcovers of Infinity and 1-13 of Hickman's Avengers today.
They're so pretty I could DIE.

Another thing Adlard doesn't get enough credit for is dressing the zombies. No rags here, they wear real human clothes, really gives a sense of the people lost.

Honestly, that's how I think the future of comics may looks. They'll have each arc numbered desperately with a much smaller running total going. That way they get a new number 1 every four to six months.
Freezasaurus

It's not a bad way to go. I know Dark Horse does it with a lot of books. Instead of having an ongoing numbering system, they subtitle each arc and number them #1-X for that story. The problem comes in with Marvel because they seem to have trouble being consistent in anything.
Hoping for an Ant-Man and Maggot team-up book.

It's a high school comic set in the 1980's. A high school for assassins. That said, it's an excellent book. Plenty of humor, but a lot of serious stuff too.

It's a comic about an orphan joining a high school for assassins.
It's fantastic. One of my favorite comics every month. Remender's angsty writing works really well for a group of fucked up teens and Wes Craig's art is just fantastic here. Great sense of motion and paneling. Incredibly stylish.
I didn't know Love and Rockets was part of the Marvel Universe now!

Some of you may recall I started up a D&D game based heavily on Time Runs Out. Well my players just blew up their first planet and man oh man it was sooooo rad. Felt so much like the comic and none of them have read it.
They got down there with their bomb and suddenly the consequences of what they were about to do hit almost the entire group like a ton of bricks. They had a half hour debate on what they should do while I just sat back and watched them squirm.
SO FUN

That sounds awesome.
I may have forgot a t but don't do Maggott like that. Marvel may be trying to erase mutants from existence but we can be better than that.

Those two should be the same book just like in the SW tie-in.
They feel more like network shows than cable shows to me. Mostly low quality trash written for the lowest common denominator,
Tell us how you really feel lol.
Also, main universe Cloak and Dagger in Runaways makes zero sense.
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
Why? Have they appeared in anything yet? If not you have no idea who or what the main universe Cloak and Dagger are about because this is a new universe.
They were in the first arc of the current ASM book.

That's the Miles-man book, right?
The Peter one. It picked up on the story from their Spider-Island tie-in.

I haven't read the Peter one in a while. Think I read for a bit just after Superior when Messi was shipping Peter x Anna Maria.

I'm up to ASM #6 and I don't remember them in the first arc. Can't have been that memorable. Could easily be ignored to put them in the Runaways.
Because you dont care others dont care, too.
