MJ's boobs are as big as her head who the fuck fights in their let's be generous and call it nightwear what the fuck is happening Ramos. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Yeah, I love big titties, too. The cover of ASM #671 during Spider-Island also had MJ in her underwear, but she was fully clothed inside the book.

Ha ha. He said "titties" when he was talking about her Bing-bongs.

ASM had some sexy covers around the issue 600 mark.

come at me bros

I've got:

Thunder
Pax
Ultra
Guidebook
SoS
Multiversity #1
Mastermen
Just

That might change when I re-read it as a whole.

(I'm a huge classic Captain Marvel fan, so I'm biased. Morrison of all creators got the essence of Captain Marvel. Made Johns' version look generic and tacky)

Seems legit TBH. I think most people would swap Thunderworld with Society, not me though.

I was really excited for Morrison and Stewart doing a totally straight-faced Captain Marvel comic and then I read it and was like "wow this sure was a straight-faced Captain Marvel all right" and nothing much more than that
 
I'd put Mastermen at the bottom rather than The Just. First time read for both was disappointing but a second read of The Just is better than the first.

My ranking is just first impressions as well but I think me rereading this as a whole is gonna depend a lot on if he sticks the landing. Though in all honesty, I don't expect Multiversity #2 is gonna be that satisfying narratively.
 

Dead

well not really...yet
I am going to collect All New in OHCs. The second book is already preordered.
Already bought the first volume. DAT Immonen art in oversize. Yum.

Found a brand new comics shop that just opened near my home, went in and got a copy of Jem, had to pay for the variant tho.

The way I figure it, if Morrison could make Seven Soldiers work, he can land Multiversity.

Futures End 47

What in thee fuck is this shit? DC wasted my time something fierce. It's not even over yet and I'm pissed off.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT:

Tim Drake convinces Brother Eye to stop the bad future by telling him the Earth 2 refugees will bring a Parademon invasion to Earth.

Obvious pothole: Why would Brother Eye believe Tim because Tim planted explosives? This technically doesn't stop Future's End because Brother Eye is still there and has the database of alien DNA.

Obvious pothole: There's an entire city of people living underground in upstate New York that Brother Eye apparently never found.

Obvious pothole: Grifter, Lana, and their adopted daughter have Brother Eye's DNA database.

Obvious plothole: If Future's End accounted for Tim Drake's disappearance then that means Future's End still takes place no matter the outcome of the series.

Writers missed some rather obvious discrepancies in this series. Feel free to add on obvious plotholes.

Only a real dirtbag would ever want a Kaine book tho

Kaine is Spider-Man for grownups that watch M rated movies. Scarlet Spider is Spider-Man without the moral fuckery. Scarlet Spider is the comic equivalent of the Man of Steel movie in the sense that it's the ideal version of the character, in my opinion. How's that for hate?

Gotdammit Marvel save some of these special events for the fall.
Why are they retconning everything? Spider Island doesn't need a retcon. Spider Verse was great. Civil War doesn't need an alternate take. Leave One More Day alone. I'm about to go full nerd rage at Marvel. Disney is starting to look like Activision with some of their business decisions as far as mandating yearly special events, in my opinion.
 
Just finished infinity #6

that was kind of anticlimactic.

I dont have a huge historical past with the workings of thanos and his kind but...

Ms Marvel turns all binary (awesome) then gets smacked before she does anything, and then his son has a secret power that he can put thanos into some jello?

the black bolt "reveal" was interesting though

Where do you got this information that Disney makes mandatory events?

I edited "in my opinion" into the original post. However, it does make sense for yearly events from a financial perspective. Disney requiring this is the only way yearly events make any sense, in my opinion.

Having Abnett write the current Bendis team felt so weird. It was like a blast from the recent past. And when Rocket said that Major Victory was part of their team for a bit, I was just sad. Where did he go?

I thought they were just revisiting things, not rewriting.

That's it what it seems like to me. It's just a playground for writers/artists to have some fun or explore new ideas. I don't think anyone at Marvel was like "We have to retcon Armor Wars I & II or else all our plans will fall apart."

bad gameplay lol
Probably the closest I'm ever going to get to Werewolf by Night #32/33:


Found these in an eBay lot in which the seller mistook them for 28 and 29 of the 1980 MK solo series. Incredibly lucky find (they're MK's first two solo books ever). As a Moon Knight fan, I'm super happy to have these. :D
 
I didn't know She-Hulk vol. 2 came out when I went to pick up Low. I now have both volumes to read and expect the lawyer stuff to be as realistic as Phoenix Wright.
 
Hulk vs Thanos# 4

Pure shit another writer who love ruining Hulk. Making him run like a bitch just to promote lame ass Pip. Hulk needs to go MIA for a while because nobody can write him. The animated series better than the trash comics. Hopefully Maestro arc be good.

There's a direct correlation between the number of pages Banner gets in a Hulk comic and how good that comic is.

Also Jim Starlin will always pimp cosmic crap over terran stuff.

Yearp. No reason whatsoever to think that these events are from 616.

I don't think any media could ever hope to be as realistic as Phoenix Wright but considering that Soule is a lawyer irl and one of the early stories deals with his speciality I think they do a pretty decent job.

Secret Avengers #14 is something special, god damn. Love and empathy saving the world from righteous nerds on a path of vengeance.

That one panel from Loki made gamergate mad but man, meanwhile Kot and Walsh are just blowing the charges they planted left and right all up in their entire fucking ideology.

It's great comics.
