Not sure if I should be worried or excited.

Yeah man. This book reminded me a lot of my dad. I'm 33, my mom jetted on us when I was 8. He never remarried, never really dated. He just devoted himself to me. He went to Apokolips for me. They say you don't know how much your parents do for you until you have some of your own. Nah I know, made him my best man at my wedding.
Sorry I'm gushing about my dad but the point is Tomasi nailed it. I think it's so cool, that my hero, the most popular hero in pop culture, is an amazing single parent father. That's why Bruce Wayne is my Batman.

Spider-Man is the most popular superhero internationally by a landslide

Culturally? Maybe but Im not good at reading these things. Spidey was in cross media hell for so long

Yeah the ending was perfect. I wish every run ended on a note like that.
Convergence seems like it will be a fun event but I can't help but feel that Darkseid War will be the real major event for DC this year.
That's a hard question to answer. I think kids love Spiderman more (especially now a days). Adults its probably more equal, I've heard The Dark Knight quoted so many times in the past 5 years. Just about every pop culture reference to comics usually involves Batman in the US. I guess a good way to measure it is maybe find the costume sales for each.

I think that chart is outdated, last I heard avengers were selling quite a bit more. Either way it seems about right for the US sales. DC's presence seems to be very obscure outside of the US.

Haven't tried the new writer but Ive heard its as disapointing as the all the rest of the series. Great team that squandered all potential
It sucks, and I love X-Men. I think I read the first 17 issues before dropping. If you're interested in it I'd gladly sell them to you though!
There isn't really too much focus on Rogue either. It's more about Jubilee's baby, Monet, and some other very random, b-list mutants I don't know anything about.

The worst part of the event. Millar butchered reeds character and had him do shit for no reason. Especially when I was reading the FF4 book. I uh..for registration due to uh...things. Here's a clone thor...for the kids!!!

And that was the only good thing to come from civil war.
And that was the only good thing to come from civil war.
43 books in, about halfway, I've been digging the Frontline books, the young avengers/runaways book and Wolverine (evwn with the ridiculously fanservice-y atlantean art by Ramos lol). Oh and Cable & Deadpool tie ins have been good too.

Wow, and here I thought DC was always the popular one.
EDIT: Oh wait, derp, it's global sales. That's makes more sense.

But don't forget that there's no wrong side in this war.
Sure there is, the dick twins are wrong. I'm still waiting for the reveal that Tony and Reed are Skrulls
When the event was starting there wasn't supposed to be a right or wrong side which Marvel clearly screwed up.

Things like that make me hate a lot of the Avengers.Soooooooo...like AvX?

Great post. Caught me in the feels.
Apparently Marvel were concerned that the pro-registration side's case was too strong to divide people in the way they wanted, so they decided to make them behave like absolute assholes to try and balance it.
And you're reading some of the side issues right? Because at the time several of those weren't around and Marvel rushed them into print after the reaction online was overwhelmingly that they'd literally turned Reed and Stark in to supervillain fascists.
Its a Grant Morrison Comic aight.

Well this'd be the first time I'm lost when reading a Morrison comic, I almost always get what's going on, but this felt like the ending of Batman RiP, and then you find Bruce alive and well during FC.
I'm still wondering what significance Ultra has on the Gentry traveling to other worlds.

Daredevil #14
I am LOVING DD's new look, the hair not so much but I love it.
The Goon: Once upon a hard time #2
I have now learned of the Island of Dr. Moreau.
Transformers Windblade V2 #1
Ah Sarah Stone is back as the artist! Also how'd Hot Shot get there, they kept cameo-ing him in various story arcs lol.
An overall nice issue with even more creation myth tossed in heh. Starscream got punk'd too.

Invincible #118 was weird. The resolution to that
subplot was forced and pretty corny. It literally amounted to this:
Kirkman please...
rape
"I was raped! She forced herself on me! She looked great though so I think I liked it. Let's cry it out and move this other shit forward, okay?
Kirkman please...
Absolutely 100% agree.
