With ish 13 being one of the most stellar comics I've read in a long time. The fact that you could feel that a guy with a window on his head and a curtain as a cape is a hero and that you could seriously feel for him is a testament to the strength of the story.

I wasn't impacted by the death in AA. Read like a campy death scene from a B horror movie with the way it was drawn and written.

Ya, Luke Cage is just Luke Cage now.
The new Powerman:
Thanks. I knew about Luke Cage being Luke Cage, but I didn't know somebody else picked up the Power Man thing. Blech.

God, the art in Avengers is so beautiful, Mike Deodato just continues to amaze me.
With all the talk about this foldout being used to show an immense villain or something, I'm very surprised that Superman himself takes up a full half of it. I was expecting him to be small in relation to some kind of gigantic force, with the huge foldout still allowing Superman to be detailed and distinct. Weird.

Which Avengers book are we talking about? Just the vanilla Avengers one?
Also, read Age of Ultron #9. Meh. I feel sorry for the people who are waiting for the hardcover. It's like you'll be paying $75 for Bendis to shit in your mouth.
East of West 3 was great. Loving this series. It's moving at an up tempo MP pace and not an Avengers crawling pace. I get what people say about the cold writing but I think it fits this series. The characters are all very cold, grim, and aloof. The regular humans he writes show enough emotion to be believable.
Superior Spidey 11 was good. Should be a fun arc but I feel like we're just killing time until 2099.

Typically I roll my eyes when books I read become involved in big crossovers, but I am actually quite excited for Avengers to start its Infinity tie-in phase, if only so that the central plot can start moving at a little quicker of a pace.

Just the current regular Marvel Now run, most recent being issue 13.

Speaking of Spider-man 2099 how good is the tradeback ?
As is the case with all 60s superhero comics, you can't go in expecting anything similar to modern books. If you are completely fine with the goofy dialogue, cheesy story lines and tons of exposition, than it's a nice little history lesson with sweet Kirby art.

I just looked at the preview for WatXM for next week and I can't believe what they've done to Mystique. Sociopath super spy turned school teacher. sigh.

Sounds like a callback to the original X-Men animated series.

These first few issues of Dial H are a pain to read. Feel like im reading something and I missed something earlier when I didnt. When does it get better?

Was confusing at first, but its opened up the last three or so issues, its good.

The writer of it is leaving DC this fall and there probably going to get Levitz or liefield to just take over or cancel it
I think you mean Lobdell. There are still books he isn't making boring, DC can't have that.

Even going in with those expectations, it's on the lower end of Marvel silver age. Doesn't compare to Spider-Man or Fantastic Four.

Older than you, I'd wager. But the one I'm talking about isn't as old as you're probably thinking. This one started airing in 1992, I think.

Is this from the latest Ultimates? If so I need to check it out
Is that the Hulk with a pair of Infinity Gauntlets? If so someone is fuuuuuuucked.
Freezasaurus
Member
I don't know what that's from, but the gems are just divided between two gauntlets instead of having them all on one. Plus he's missing one, there.
Either way that can't possibly end well.

Yup its the hulk, that issue alone should be awesome, just need to know what its from lol

I dont remember Mystique being a teacher in that one. She was a teacher in the X-Men Evolution series though which is why I asked how old you were.

It is known.
Shit, I think Fear Itself was better than this. And I fucking hated Fear Itself. And pretty much every big Marvel event since Secret Invasion.
This shit is why time travel is fucked.
It didn't even make sense. Wolverine is going to "kill time" if he keeps time travelling, but over in Uncanny Avengers Kang is time hopping all over the place. Same with the Fantastic Four in their book.
Maybe next issue, Angela will be introduced as part of the Angelic Time Police.
It's just excruciatingly clear now that Bendis only had two ideas for this story and is stretching them as thinly as possible so that they can connect and last over 10 issues.
Also, the ending for DD: End of Days was stupid, which is doubly disappointing because I actually thought the beginning of this mini was the best he'd written in years.
Dear god I completely forgot that this was happening next issue. How the hell is that going to fit in?
On that note the warning makes sense, the Marvel books have been messing with time a lot since NOW started. I fully expect that to be some sort of big event in the future, the Avengers trying to fix time or whatever.
Agreed. They should have just done it in three or four issues and just been done with it. It didn't need to be a huge event.
