Spider-man had a decade long smear campaign run against him by JJJ.
I suppose I see your point. But due to said continuity, those once in a lifetime accidents happen pretty often. Look at all the current and former non-mutant teen heroes.

I know this is true, but actually having someone actually type it out is just really funny. It's like one of those things that we all know is true but no one really bothers to say out loud.
You've also got people kicking up anti-mutant sentiment. We don't always hear about it, but we still know it happens since we'll hear about it every now and again.
Without having read the issue (I didn't really feel the two issues of UA, and with all the delays, I haven't gotten back to it), I believe part of the issue that the story of the X-Men has been for so long to learn how to be proud of being different. Part of that is owning the word mutant and not being ashamed. The whole "M-word" thing as I'm understanding it flies in the face of that for people on some level.
Hmm, I want to read this issue now. Could I understand it without having read all the previous issues?

Yes. Red Skull wrecked some stuff and incited mob violence against mutants before being defeated (and escaping). You are now caught up.
EDIT: There was a couple of epilogue pages in #4 that will be important later, but not for #5.
Thank you kindly. Gonna check this out.

They cost more, sucks holding them to read sometimes and the the dumb slipcover over the top. If anything put the hardcover and paperback out at the same time
Yeah, this. I hate that Marvel and DC just randomly will release some books as hardcover and some as trades. Trades are too thin to be hardcover imo. Plus the extra $5-$10.

Thousands? If anything I think the number of loved non-mutant heroes (I don't think anyone really likes the Inhumans) is pretty small and particularly small in comparison to the number of non-mutant villains.
The Thing has an explicit in-universe explanation for non-Yancy Street humans liking him: Reed actively markets their team as a positive.
Back from my ban, really enjoyed Batman Inc #9 (BAT COW!) as usual...but from the other half of Grant's evil insane mind I dont think I've ever wanted to stop reading a book more times in 40 pages than I did in Action Comics #18. Glad to be done with that.
Uncanny Avengers #5, the call backs to Lord Archangel/UXF and where the next arc is headed made me giddy. Didn't care much for the m-word one way or the other but Remender could have used alot more restraint in how he handled it on Twitter.
Age of Ultron works pretty good as a weekly book, given the padding these events get

Self-contained? All Star Superman.
edit: longer running? Maybe Astro City or Tom Strong?
Yeah, he said that was the specific reason. He didn't like how marvel took the punisher away from him, seemed like he had a longer story arc planned.
This?

Is it worth the 19$
The Spider Island stuff in Amazing Spider-Man maybe? It's a light affair with Spidey fighting for all of New York!
Underwater welder.
Oh man, that 3-page spread.

Best Marvel super hero team-up story ever. Classic.
It's the only Superman anything I've ever read and I enjoyed it a lot.
Dunno, Human Torch/Spider-man: I'm with stupid was pretty damn funny.

Yes.
Er, no. Unless you are Bizarro. In which case Underwater Welder Am Happy Story About Man With No Father Or Abandonment Issues!
I'll veto the shit out of that. Because of REASONS.
If you want to get pretentious and heady and weird and grandiose and wonderful, get Flex Mentallo. It's required reading if you want to live life, pretty much.

Damn, forgot about that. Tie game, or a very close second.

Both are must-reads
Although the collected edition removes that killer ending line from Wolverine's monologue on the three-page spread. "Like I've seen it all before"
Also, speaking of things that made me happy, Deadpool #7 is gonna rule so fucking hard you guys.
Oh god, I was dying. That art just made the whole thing even funnier.
I'll probably buy this issue but I dropped Deadpool in favor of FF. No regrets.
Srsly, consider Astonishing Spider-Man and Wolverine

Huh, the collected TPB doesn't even have the title or credits from the image I posted, just the art. Three different variants, strange. Great line, though.

Is Astonoshing Spider-Man a small book, or is it a long running series?
And is Wolverine what the upcoming movies based on?
Edit:
Just googled
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0785148906/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It's actually one book? Sounds interesting.
It's a self contained, six issue series called "Astonishing Spider-Man and Wolverine." Sorry, wasn't very clear there
. It's super entertaining and touching.Mac the KNife

Wow this would have been a great time for Marvel to put the Black Panther Secret Invasion tie-in with the Skrull Invasion sale on Comixology :/.

Ok so I got Superior Spider-man #6 only to find out it deals with Ultron, good job warning me Marvel that I should read Ultron. >.>^
Someone let me know in a PM what happened and why Doc is in a post apocalyptic world please with Ultron bots.
On the DC side I have Superman and Teen Titans.
Superman was ehh, could have been better. I don't like the new gig Cat thought of honestly as a job but I am liking the prophecy with Superman. Orion and Superman throwing down is the event to look forward in the next few months and how Wonder Woman fits into that mess.
Teen Titans, whoa some weird stuff going on. Robin seems to have become unhinged. At least Superboy is back so the team is kinda complete.

Astro City - Life in the Big City
Sounds like you picked up Superior Spider-Man #6AU which came out this week and is an Age of Ultron tie-in issue. Superior Spider-Man #6 came out last week.
As did mine.
Finished the second ult collection of New X-Men and loved it. The only downside is that it makes me think less of All New X-Men's first six issues, I liked them initially even though they are the typical bendis-slow pacing, but in comparison now they just feel so shallow and make me wonder if Bendis had an idea for this series past " wouldn't it be neat it..."

I think Remender said the second Fear Agent omnibus is being delayed. I want to read the second half of it now.

So glad to see Uncanny Avengers finally picking up steam amazing what a great artist can do for a series can't wait for dat BASED ACUNA. I want to see the reactions from other mutants on Alex's stance on the "m" word could lead.
GOTG was a good start always love Mcniven but I really dont like Starlords new mask :/ .
