Does anyone know if you can retroactively upgrade your Marvel Unlimited subscription? I want to get a Plus account as buying comics digitally has become a bit more enticing.

there's a part in the previous issue where marcus tells her to look out for billie so i figured she just caught on to something but apparently not!!

They have an upgrade to plus option on the website, but buyer beware. You almost always have to call them to get it done correctly. In my case, I used one of the discount sales to try and renew my account for an extra year, even though I had three months left on my current sub. Instead of adding it on the back end, they immediately charged my credit card and started the new membership. Bye bye, three months of current sub.
I had to call them to get it sorted out.

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up.
BPRD: Hell on Earth - The Broken Equation
How the fuck is Hell on Earth so good!?
I'm waiting on the trade for Hellboy in Hell, so don't spoil it for me, because I hear that Hell on Earth, Hellboy in Hell, and Abe Sapien kinda meet at the end, I hope Hellboy comes to fuck shit up at the end of Hell on Earth.
Probably not but It'd be the hypest shit ever.

I dont think so. I believe its the same thing with Hickman. Probably a combination of burnout and success at Image leading to better income potential long term
I really hope they get some big names back when Marvel Now starts. Really afraid because their current line up lacks AAA writer.

Remender's not coming back any time soon
I have a feeling he is in no rush to come back
I love the folklore.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Going through that reading order that gets posted in here, currently on Library Edition 4(?) I believe

I think I remember both of them saying they'd come back for Star Wars. Not a spin-off, but basically the book Jason Aaron is writing.
Not in Overwatch m8
I am ok with everyone else. Just get someone who is AAA.

Which AAA writer would you like to see at Marvel that hasn't already written for them?
In the last decade, Marvel's been a great incubator of writing talent. Almost all the top writers at Image came out of Marvel...Actually, which Image writer with success didn't start at Marvel? John Layman (Chew) and Tim Seeley (Revival)?
I'd rather see them bring in newer people. Those old guys are happy at Image.

Are we discussing batteries or writers?
I think Marvel should have picked up a couple of 9-Volt writers the last time they were at the store.
The community just seems toxic to me.
Marvel was going to put him on more stuff, but he's friends with Snyder and DC gave him Batman.
Not that bad compared to here, even vanwrinkle post there
Since the couple of Image OHCs I buy but never read are mostly Ex-Marvel Guys I have no idea.
I just wish Marvel would buys a couple of DC guys, I would like to see what a Snyder would do with Marvel Streetlevel folks
Daredevil
The only AAAs that they have left are Aaron, Waid and Bendis...
Will be interesting to see what is for example going to happen with Amazing Spider-Man when Slott really leaves the book in fall. I dont want another maybe good but not really known writer on that book. Its like with the art, the current dude is good but its a so big title that deserves a artist that has big reputation.
That's what Marvel did with Lemire and Soule lol.
I think Marvel has been smart to hire up-and-coming writers while sales numbers are hot and being helped by Star Wars comics as well. Hopefully they're putting forth a considerable amount of effort to help some of these younger writers grow so they will be in OK shape when the bubble inevitably bursts once again.

Who would these young up and coming writers be other than Kate Leth (whos book is struggling)
Yeah, I dunno, they arent really in the same league like a Snyder or a Hickman or a Brubaker IMO. I was speaking if a really high profile writer.

Agreed. Even if he aint ever worked for the CIA
Facepalm
Al Ewing, David Walker, Nick Spencer, etc... not saying they're brand new to writing comics but Marvel is at least giving some of these guys the ball and letting them run with it to see if they've got what it takes to become writers people will follow no matter what title they're put on, like Aaron, Fraction, Hickman, and Remender.
The guys you mentioned built their way up through the work they did at Marvel and DC and the trend for those guys seems to be Image for obvious reasons.
I post in the collected edition forums, though I admit I don't think much of the community there. A generally negative tone that I'm not huge into.
Ah gotcha. I only browse the collected editions myself.
As long as the current structure of American comics is around, you're not going to see guys like this (that can sell a book on their name alone) working with Marvel or DC unless they really want to do so. They make more money, have far more (likely 100% or close to that) creative control, and get to own the rights to the things they create at Image. Why would they ever want to go back to Marvel, even if Marvel throws money at them?
Oh I wasn't shitting on you. I am actually curious. I would love to see what female writers they are pushing. Becky Cloonan is one for sure.
You should join the omnibus collector Facebook group. Very active, very positive, very informative. A few of us here are on it.
Because when they have good contracts they still get good money.
My other point would be that they could work with characters they like and adore, but maybe thats a little bit naive to see it.
