Book of the Week isn't the greatest idea when so many people are firmly in one camp or the other. Book of the Week by Publisher would be better, imo.

Seriously, wait until you see the cover for next issue. SERIOUSLY.
SERIOUSLY.
HAHAHAHAHA FUCKING YES.
Serious question, when has Jason Latour ever drawn a bad comic?

UXM #3 was great. Still need to read Thor though.

Nonsense. Someone's book of the week is their book of the week. It's their "FAVORITE" book. You think their "camp" (tt!) means that's somehow not valid? That their seven minutes of enjoyment wasn't "REAL" enjoyment because they're just a fanboy?
That is totally gross to think that way.
Look at me. Everyone's like "HERE COMES BEN. HERE'S THE ULTIMATE MARVEL FANBOY. DON'T LISTEN TO HIM BECAUSE HE LIKED FEAR ITSELF. I BET IF MARVEL RELEASED THE OFFICIAL MARVEL HANDBOOK OF THE QUEENS COUNTY PHONEBOOK HE'D BE LIKE 'OH WOW, SO MUCH BETTER THAN GRIFTER' BECAUSE HE'S SUCH A MARVEL ZOMBIE. I BET THAT'S TOTALLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN JUST YOU WATCH. OH WAIT HERE HE COMES, SHH SHH SHH -- LET'S WATCH."
And what's my book of the week?
Nowhere Men #4.
BOOM. OPINION CLOBBERIN' TIME.

a phonebook probably would be better than Grifter though
Oh, the paint brush hair? I know!
By publisher is a much better idea.

Is it really a good idea to train a woman who is a host for the Phoenix Force? The Phoenix is dead but thats what it does. It rises from the ashes!
Opinions, how do they work
Flameshield needed from Hickman zealots ITT after I opened that can
That's why you train her so maybe it doesn't turn out badly this time. That said
Jean is going to have a psychic conversation with Emma at the very least and hear about how she used to spend so much time in Scott's head. Then probably proceed to try and do that because powers.

nah its cool, I've liked FF forever(I'm blocking out the 90's) but I have way disinterest in Captain America and Iron Man.
This is a lie. X-Men Legacy is the best X-Men book on the shelves. Not to dismiss the extremely enjoyable work of Bendis, but Legacy is the giant pisstake on the shenanigans of the X-Verse that we needed after the big stupid drama of AvX. It's a book all about how wrong Xavier was, and seriously, he was super wrong. Like, "Joseph Kony but bald and with superpowers" wrong. And it's all done under the pretense of crazy mutant adventures. It's the most imaginative X-Book, and therefore the best, and I love it to death.
i actually agree with this!

I am the resident Hickman dick sucker, so I'm sort of obligated to insult you after you say stuff like that.
this very well may be true, i only read a little bit of Legacy
ANXM:
Jean is going to cause all kinds of trouble for every side in this. I imagine she'll do a "NO ONE UNDERSTANDS" thing and goes off on her own. She'll then have a weird vision of Xavier giving her some sacred advice about not letting her future define her now or something. This is all after she switches sides for a little bit.

Work has been absolutely nuts, so I haven't been able to read a funny book since Sunday. That's unacceptable, so I read a few on lunch. Just some number grades for now:
Injustice #9 - 8/10 (Great!)
Ultimate Wolverine #1 - 3/10 (Ugh. Horrid.)
Avenging Spidey #18 - 7/10 (Anything Thor is awesome.)

Age of Ultron is so bad. Nothing has happened in that book.

I read that issue now, it was really good and yeah it showed a bit more of the relationship between Spidey and Wolverine. I like that Logan actually caught on that something was off about Otto-spidey in the recent Avenging Spider-Man as well.
They had put him through hell for a couple of months, they were also responsible for The Lizard killing his son, and they killed Madame Web, Mattie Franklin and Kaine. Needless to say that didn't sit very well with Peter.
What do you mean? Captain America was sitting down, and now he is standing up. Next issue maybe he will walk or run.
Lots of stuff happened...off panel. Cause apparently, "Hawkeye raids a crack house" is more important than Ultron taking over the fucking world.

Ah, interesting. For some reason I figured Harley's introduction was earlier, given how popular a character she is. Then again, I guess it's Cass Cain's intro as well. I mostly picked it up on your recommendation, and was happily surprised at how good it was. I really don't expect much out of novel adaptations of comic events.

Age of Ultron 2 is literally identically to issue 1
How the fuck does Bendis get off writing something like Age of Ultron? Half of it is no dialogue, the other half is completely banal dialogue with plot developments that can be summed up in a sentence. Two issues in and nothing has happened beyond the logline of the story.
I know this is 90% of all Bendis comics, but fucking hell man.
"They were going to sell you?"
"To Ultron."
"They were going to sell you to Ultron."
SAY SOMETHING!

Glad to hear AoU #2 wasn't any better.
Easier to wait for the trade at this point.

AoU is changing the Marvel U forever. Comics superstar Brian Michael Bendis can do no wrong at this point.
Well, the entire point is that Ultron went back in time and took everything over, so everything just snapped into "Everything is fucked" mode.
So you're saying the problem is that the guy produced Lost? How is that an issue?
I never saw that series, but it was a big success right.
At least this means that The Sixth Gun will get a decent budget.
I would have liked if the comic told me that.
(I haven't kept up on any of the news or stories leading up to this. I thought I'd give it a shot just cause I like Ultron.)

i skipped AoU so far but i'm still buying All new x-men, uncanny, and GotG.
All New is fun so far but not much happened the first six issues and i'm going to be hating myself in a year when i stare at all these bendis books.

oohh so it just drops you into something with no explanation like Age of X did? That makes me sort of interested. Age of X was pretty cool.
Yes well AoU isn't. I can't say I care all that much about it. It reads like Bendis before he started working on X-Men books, so basically all his worst quirks are represented pretty heavily.

Yea age of X is really under rated I feel . It was really good. And it is like that basically the MU wakes up and ultron rules the world

Except imagine Hitch drawing it. Great stuff.
Well this time there's a mythos and plot to work with already so there won't be much of a chance/necessity to make up as they go along too much. Cuse is not incompetent as a producer and I'm liking the cast so far. I remember Lindelof being more on the defensive in interviews than Cuse regarding what worked and what didn't in Lost too. I see where you're coming from though (I'm also a Lost fan who recognizes its shortcomings), but we'll see.
As the producer what sort of input the guy had on Lost story? I thought Lindelof was responsible for this.
Because frankly they just need to follow the book for the series to have a great story. Obviously there will be differences, but if they keep the main plot points and characters intact things will be OK.
Everything the guy does following Lost is going to be tarnished because some fans didn't like the direction their favorite series took?
I really don't understand this.
As a guy who has been reading The Sixth Gun since the beginning, and that tried to get more people interested in the book for a long time I'm just glad this producer guy is giving it a chance.
I mean, as much as I love it I doubt it is selling more than 15K, 20K tops each month. It's probably less than that. What are the chances someone would pick this up for TV?

I'm just uneasy about him being on it. I want to be proven wrong and have the show end up being great.
