Who is he and why is there a thread
They also have their own expo. Disney doesn't need SDCC, so by extension, neither does Marvel.

good luck breh
pretty crazy that Kipp misses work for a day and they're already about to hire his replacement
i think it's a typo and he means "Humberto," as in comics superstar Humberto Ramos

Hilariously, that is included, but I just looked at it and dismissed it as a dumb tie-in. I guess I'll give it a read when I get home.

Internet writer, he said that Marvel wasn't going to SDCC because "DC is better". It lead to the MCU vs DCCU thread of the day.

when are ya'll gonna learn to stop clicking on comic threads in OT
some asshat who pulls reports out of his ass saying this and that regarding news about the innermost secrets of the MCU and stuff.
There's a thread because Umberto "reported" that Marvel Studios are not showing up at SDCC cuz DC is better or some shit to get the fanboys riled up.

makes sense. Marvel knows DC is bringing the heat and they're motherfucking SCARED, so they're taking a forfeit L to prevent further embarrassment

I'm being absolutely legit when I say it's an amazingly crafted experience. Look forward to your thoughts on it.

Umberto Eco should write a comic. Drawn by J H Williams III.

I'll make sure to report back. Thanks for enlightening me thus far.
ms.marvel is one of those books that I think falls apart when that guy isnt drawing it (like during those wolveirne issues for example)
some books can get away from using whatever artists (usually team books) but some are too attached to a specific one (like the latest silver surfer for example)

I liked Miyazawa's artwork, I want him to be the main artist. AAs art kinda bugs me at times.

It's always so weird to see people get up in arms about Umberto/Latino Review but don't show an ounce of skepticism towards Josh Wilding/CBM, CosmicBookNews, 4Chan, or any of those other sites.
And the best farewell issue of all time (at least on Marvels side)

Alright, I'll say it. Ms. Marvel really shines because of the art and the slice-of-life portions of the book. I think a lot of times the action segments are largely hampered by a dull cast of villains. It definitely hurt the second arc of the book.

But why cant she just date Bruno?
Cultural differences? Friendzone? I'm sure they're going to drag the plot-line out for a bit.

I thought the Inventor was an appropriate villain. He was kind of silly, just a bit menacing, but that's wholly Ms. Marvel's style. So far, I think it's worked great, but I've yet to catch up.
Yeah, maybe. Maybe they will ship them later.

Nah i still don't know what Futures End is but that issue was good.

So will Spider-Gwen be the fastest back to #1 for a Marvel book ever? Or have they done it quicker than issue 5 or 6 or w/e.
Gonna approach that renumbering singularity where books are renumbered back to 1 before they're even number 1 and the entire industry just collapses in on itself.

I'm getting there slowly. Few more volumes to buy and I'll have the set as well.

My issue with him was that he just wasn't interesting. A villain has to be just as captivating as the hero whose book you're reading, otherwise you're not going to care. I love the slice-of-life content, but the actual super-hero'ing could use some improvement.
Yeah, it's always a bit jarring when they throw a different artist in for one-shots and annuals. Especially when the regular artist has such a gorgeous style.

Aren't Annuals sometimes used as a tryout for new talent? They put them on a book adjacent to a big selling book to see how fans react.

You know who I liked? Ben Oliver. He worked with Morrison on Multiversity: The Just. Loved that issue.

A few of the original run's trade paperbacks and I don't have any of the second run's trades yet.
Why does Kamala have to be with somebody?
WanderingWind
Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
Reed Richards is the best villain Marvel has made since...uh....a while.
Which one?

The one on the right.
Why do lead characters from a single book always have to end up together?

BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH OTHER CHARACTERS IN LIEU OF OUR STAR-CROSSED KATE AND MAGS.
Thanks DiDio.
you can say it because I agree. A lot of my favorite books would quickly stop being my favorite books (or in fact, did) if the artist changed
Rocket and Ghost Rider are 2 easy examples. Nor do I think Surfer would work without Allred's wonderful quikyness

Red Hood/Arsenal #1:
An ok start but nothing really important happened other than catching up with what Arsenal is doing nowadays. Very Arsenal focused. Arsenal has no trucker cap. Forever miss the trucker cap.
Constantine: The Hellblazer #1:
Lovely legs. That descent in the 9 circles of hell was cool. It's nice to know hell demons are huge fans of
and
Constantine isn't that much of piece of shit......so far. Just has his shit locked down.
RUNLOVEKILL #1:
Very cinematic. Eric's art is just great. THE HANDS! Lot of mystery though and not too much info is given about this walled-in city. Reminded of Mirror's Edge.
