I'm not even sure how they would work bringing Miles over. He's what 15?
If Spock lasts longer than a year I will be surprised.

ASM2 comes out next May. It will last a bit over a year.
That's the absolute longest it'll last. I doubt it'll last that long.
EDIT: Unless they decide to do a play on the

Green Lanterns: New Guardians was great. On board for the moment.
BoP is really getting better? I keep hearing how terrible BoP and Batgirl are and it sort of swayed me from buying the trades. How's Batgirl currently?
They're both fine. Batgirl started off weak but by the time they got around to the tie ins it got better.

You guys, ULTIMATE X-MEN is one of the best xbooks right now. Stop reading Miles Morales nonsensical and boring ass baby drama and get on the xtrain.

Both titles have been getting better. Batgirl was always see-saw for me. Sometimes good, sometimes not, but lately... say the last 4+ issues, have been very enjoyable. To be fair, 1-2 of those were a different "fill in" writer. But I think it's going someplace interesting.
BoP has very hard swings. I actually liked what they had going early on; I liked Katana on the team over Strix, but that's more from the limitations of a mute character. They've been building the series back up and I actually like Christy Marx as a writer.
If you are someone who buys the trades I don't know how I'd recommend it to you.

Personally I've been a fan of Batgirl since the reboot.
That first arc was so meeeeeeeeeeeeeh it made me drop it. Maybe I'll pick up a trade sometime.
So in your opinion, Batgirl > BoP just a tiny bit? Yeah, I prefer to collect trades.
Yea the first arc was by far the weakest.

Ive come the conclusion that the big 2, Marvel and DC have the worst paper and tactile feel of other publishers ive read. I bought some Star Wars books today which introduced me to Dark Horse and its a joy to hold and turn the pages.

Ehhhh. It's a solid book, but I don't like it as much as some of the other X-titles. Also because it's not even 616, so it doesn't really count.
Word. I think Marvel is slightly worse.

Marvel uses the cheapest paper known to man. Shit isnt even tqo ply or toilet paper grade. Oni, Darkhorse and IDW have great paper. Image is sometimes up in the air because the creators choose the type, East of West has great paper.

I Love Trouble uses the best-smelling paper ever.
Better yet, kill Rogue. She's awful.
I was onboard for UA the last few issues, but this one looked ugly and was really wordy without having much of anything to say.

Considering how awful Rogue was before Marvel NOW!, this new Rogue is a welcome change I say. Girl's got a chip on her shoulder and f*ck anyone who tries to knock it off.

Went today just to get Ultimate Spidey 24 and walked out with that and X-Files S10 #1, and Star Wars Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin 1,2,3.
Ultimate Spidey was a let down. Still enjoy the character but this issue didnt really feature him.
X-Files was fun. Played out just like an episode in my head. Title song even played in my head. lol
Star Wars was a real suprise. Quality art and story so far. Made me order the other Vader trades off Amazon.

New Avengers 7- Everyone on notice

Just finished Brother Lono #1. Good stuff. It reminds me of the things I liked about 100 Bullets. 
I know we had the silly World War Hulk shenanigans which clad the Hulk in the strongest of plot armor, but I can't think of many groups that could go toe to toe with the current New Avengers lineup. Reed and Strange are so overpowered in their particular specialties that Marvel conveniently downplays or leaves them out of most crossovers.
The East of West paper is the same as the Manhattan Projects paper right? Love that stuff.
Yeah I loved the way they made Dr Strange sit out Civil War.

Sooo, AoU 10 / New Avengers 1-7 / Avengers 1-14 Spoiler:
Okay guys - long story short: So now we have the complete picture - Wolverine carshed the Space/Time-continuum. This leads to a colapse of the system, the bleeding and the incursions. We know that the Ultimate Universe is hit by the events of Infinity and we know that Spidey 2099 is coming back as well as there are many storylines with messed up timelines - Captain Marvel, Fantastic Four, Hulk etc. coming up or running. Why does my nerd sense tingle and tell me that we will get a bit more interaction between timelines and parallel worlds in the next year? Maybe a Rebooted Ultimate Universe as hinted before? Damn it all flows so well and all this build up right under our nose - it seems like infinity will be at least well thought out

LOVE Scalera on Hulk. Perfect fit.
I think they are arrogant because they know that they collectively outclass doom in about every way. What can he realistically do about the situation? Blackbolt, Namor, and Black Panther are all monarchs of very powerful nations/peoples. Dr Strange and Reed are his equal in magic and science. And then you can throw in Iron Man and Beast for good measure. I think that the council of Reeds was a good demonstration of what would happen to Doom if Reed was less noble, and more like him.
Not to say the arrogance won't bite them in the ass. I'm expecting Cap to figure out what happened to him at some point.

What gets me is that they really could have told this story in four issues. And issue 10, while being the most entertaining issue of the series, somehow managed to feel rushed?

The problem with AoU is that all the implications could have happened at the end of any of the other currently running books that feature time travel in some form. The last few pages could have potentially exciting payoffs, but are completely disconnected from what actually happens in the book, which makes the whole thing feel rather pointless.
Same issue as with Flashpoint - the ramifications are that "time travel fucks things up", but none of those ramifications are connected to the specifics of the altered reality in the story.

I'm still a little baffled as to why so many bought into AoU, if we already knew going in that it was an event that had missed its chance at relevance but one that Marvel felt it had to put out because of the work already sunk into it.
How does that sound appealing?
(has skipped more Marvel events since 2000 than you'd probably think.)

Because Bryan Hitch drew half of it. For me at least.
Once I got through those issues, I just wanted to see what happened, and more incredible moments like "Luke Cage Died On His Way To His Home Planet".

I did that with Johns' Green Lantern for waaaaaaaaaay longer than I should have, simply because Doug Mahnke was drawing it. But I don't think I'll be doing that again any time soon; in fact I'm trying to think of an artist that would make me do that again, and so far I'm coming up blank.

Dude if Miles
came over and dawned the OG Scarlet Spider suit
In my defence, this was my first Marvel Event since Civil War so I guess I gave them the benefit of the doubt? I dunno... I'll be a lot more wary of future events now though.

I remember my last Green Lantern. That awful fill in issue after Nu52. That's when I was like "Oh wait. This is a terrible book. The book I loved is gone."
