Which is about all you can say about it other than Cap and the Avengers sat on their asses for 5 issues and then were marginalized for the rest of the book by Wolverine.

Eh, from the previews i saw I don't like the artwork. Plus I usually prefer to wait on new stuff and see how they go. Plus, she stole DC Captain Marvel's name and now he's cursed as SHAZAM
Do you mean the latest Ms.Marvel run as captain Marvel or something different? Might take a look at Zatanna. Looks like there's only two trades. does it end in a cliffhanger?
Oh, I just remembered there was a She-Hulk run I heard about before. How good was it?

Ah sorry I meant the Brian Reed run of Ms. Marvel!
She-Hulk had a great run by Dan Slott, one of his better series IMO.
Other titles to check out:
Batgirl Year One
Batgirl by Bryan Q. Millar
Batman: The Bat and the cat

If that isn't just an illusion, there's next to no chance that Marvel would have released it as a preview page.

Byrne's run on She-Hulk is also generally well-praised. Like you, I enjoy reading titles with strong female leads. As there are few to be found, I often find respite in ensemble series with good female characters.
In other news, I was hoping to drop Cable and X-Force after #10 but dammit, I've grown rather fond of this team. Domino is particularly badass.
Someone please explain how ANXM works in light of this sliding timescale of continuity thing.

Sounds like the article is asking for a huge Marvel Zero Year type arc. Although we did sort of get that already with the Ultimate Universe.
Keep in mind the X-Men are a whole other thing since they're like the only book that has had the characters age a whole lot. Cyke went from 15 to 30.
So since I only read ANXM and UXM I will just ignore this. Works for me!
Pretty much. Continuity timelines don't really matter until they do and Marvel doesn't seem interesting in updating their origins, that said none of their origins would be changed by placing them in a different decade.
Origins, no. But trying to fit the X-Men history into 8 years or whatever gives me a headache thinking about it.
I don't even see how it's possible. It's 15 years worth of shit at least.
Exactly. So like I said, I will just continue to ignore such things.

It really doesn't, best just not to think about it too much.

Something tells me this issue's gonna be a heartbreaker.
If Bendis was a better scenario writer, he'd have done some basic math and realized that the original X-Men would have been pulled from the mid-late 90s based on their age vs the age of the future counterparts. You can't keep them in the 1960s and not have their current counterparts be senior citizens. I roll my eyes whenever one of the ANXM characters is mystified by a cell phone, or other piece of technology that was widespread 15-20 years ago. I'm around the same age as the current X-Men. We had cellphones in when I was in high school. They were just less common and obviously not the minicomputers of today. The same jokes could have been made with more suitable subjects like tablets or youtube.
Other than that small quibble, I have been enjoying both ANXM and Uncanny.

Oh man, that issue of Avengers Arena. Feels will be had.
I'm really surprised by how much I like this series. Hopeless has made it more than the meatgrinder I thought it would be.

It's been 10 years old for like 20 years now. They can't bring themselves to make it any older.
Can't wait for the retrospective articles when Loeb's groundbreaking run on Marvel Animated Television ends as well...
Anyways, super pumped for Hawkeye #11 and Pizza Dog being the star. I hope Fraction does cool things with Kazi in future issues as well, he did a hell of a job making a sympathetic "villain" without any superpowered hi-jinks at all.

Honestly Marvel is going to get a ton of insults and bad press with the help molly hashtag. One of the highest voted ones is an insult.

Pffft. I'm closer to 30. Fuck. But that's almost everything I read.
I only have one book coming out the week after, so I'm going to split it down the middle and just pick up the rest then. Because fuck buying $100 worth of comics in one day.

X-Men Legacy, I don't read it but I've heard nothing but good things about it.
And Six Gun Gorilla. Both are great. Legion+Blindfold is the best relationship in comics.

After watching the Dark Knight Return again, i was wondering how come the world trusts Superman while he is an American soldier? It does not seem that there is any problem trusting him. At least like 90% of nations in comics trust him.

People tend to trust those in power or with power quicker than their equals. Like wise people tend to turn against those in power or with power quicker when they misuse them.

I think it's one of those things that you have to just ignore that is part of comics. When you actually break down most comic tropes they wouldn't survive a conversion to realism.
In comic terms, alot of the other major super powers end up creating their own super teams; DC has stuff like China's "Great Ten" for example.

Finished Remender's run on the Punisher and then dove straight through the entire Shadowland event (with all the tie-ins).
Shadowland was pure poop, and that's coming from a lifelong Daredevil fan. Poor pacing, weak plot, bad character interactions...you name it. The only positive was DD looks killer in the all black getup. God bless Marvel Unlimited for saving me cash on it.

Just got of the PAD/Todd Nauck Young Justice issues off ebay today, that'll have me occupied until i get to one of the issues that the lot didn't include, after which i'll have to track down the back issues somewhere. Wish my shops out here had a bigger back catalog.

I always wanted to go back and get the ones I'm missing from that comic.
In the real world, we have figures who have managed to cultivate an image of trustworthiness and being "good" people. Most successful political and religious leaders are this type, regardless of who they are behind closed doors.
Example: Reagan, with his "affable old Grandpa" role, is still beloved, despite, like all presidents, having dirty hands and lots of lives ruined on their watch.
Or Mother Theresa. Or Bono from U2.
Point is that there's lots of people who are scum or could be scum, but their public image is so powerfully done that people will make them beloved gods.

Controversial opinion: I REALLY don't like Francavilla's art. It feels so... Sloppy. Like he can't be bothered to do more than a rough single pass.
Really hurt Batwoman for me this week.

I just finished reading Uncanny Avengers #9 and I really hate Wanda as a character anymore, I wish they would make her dissapear she is really just a terrible character.
I also really dislike Captain America in that book as well, just really bad especially when in his own book he's way better.
