Also: you're wrong.
He's the next Ostrander. What he's doing in both his books is some of the most clever repurposing of narrative loose ends since the 1987 Suicide Squad series.

There's a Punisher War Zone arc written by Remender that does a pretty good job of explaining why he's treated differently. Involves Metal Gear Frank fighting the Avengers.
Never even heard of the guy. Generally avoid DC. Gimme runs to track down.
Can you spoil me the reason?

So I really haven't gotten much sleep for the past few days, but that entry/comic/literary piece is super sobering. It's excellent, and drops a hell of a fucking bomb in that last panel. Ron Wimberly is an incredibly intelligent dude (go read Prince of Cats, everybody) and one of my favorite artists. This is another reason why.

As bad as some of these books were I'm going to miss a few of them.

Jason Aaron's run, including the Heaven's on Fire miniseries.
Sunstone is great.
Amazing Spider-Man is gone? Oh fuckshitty Highschool Peter incoming. Fuck Marvel and their shit movies
That seems extremely unlikely.

If none of y'all picked up Deadly Class Vol. 2 you messed up. I feel bad I got the last copy at my shop.
Comicvine is your best option. Their format is like Giantbomb in terms of doing 5 star reviews and heavy video content but they do a lot of articles on getting people up to speed on who characters are and what they have been doing. Their podcast is decent.
Whenever I peak in this thread I never see any love for the guy, glad to see I'm wrong.
Ok serious question for Comic GAF, is there a decent news site for following US comics (for a casual like myself)? I once asked on twitter and got recommended Comics Alliance, so please don't make me regret asking GAF.

It would've been easier for them to just tell us which books are still going.
Wolverines died on its' arse it seems, but LOL $3.99 WEEKLY.

ya, same. comparisons to 80s Ostrander grab my attention for sure
yup. Punisher would get shit done in Gotham.
huh.
Silver Surfer lives on!
Oh fuck. I really didnt expected them to clean the plate completly. Oh fuck fuck fuck, I hopes for a fake and marketing stunt when they announed all of this now everything is fucking gone. Oh man,
At least it seem that Miles dont take over. But oh boy RIP my precious 616

RIP my precious 616 I am in panic mode now.
In the article they say that the Last Days books are ending too but the teams are being given more time to either wrap up their stories or do something Secret Wars related.

I buy the floppies, I'm just hoping that they do a hardcover release since the series really deserves one. I would love an HC as good as the Casanova ones.

Woah, Winter Soldier is still alive, I guess if they do relaunch it with regular espionage (and include Natasha please) it will be after Secret Wars.
Time for me to pick up All New Cap in trades soon. Steve hopefully only has one more year as an old man and then maybe we can move on from depowering him.

You mean to tell me people can grow and change? That's far too reasonable for the internet. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Seriously though, this was good stuff.
Its annoying shit. We will never reach ASM 800

I agree that people can change, and I believe he has but how do you even deal with it? Like, there should be some consequences, yea? But I don't know how far that should even go. Idk. it's hard to gauge
Did not know about the campaign threatening to "expose" him though, sounds like some 4chan shit

Remender said on twitter that when Vol. 3 gets released their should be a hardcover collecting all 3 volumes. If that happens Black Science might get one since they are sharing the same success.
Its annoying shit. We will never reach ASM 800
Marvel would just renumber the books in time for 800 so they can make money.
Eh, I think of them as first drafts for future movies.
Its annoying shit. We will never reach ASM 800
They still do legacy numbering internally. Like how they did with the "last" issue of Fantastic Four.

I mean, we know most of these are coming back Marvel Now style.

Of course we will. Comic companies love going back to the old numberings for big anniversaries. DC might have skipped Detective #900, but you really think they're gonna pass up Action Comics #1000? I don't think so. Same thing with Marvel, we'll get to All-New Amazing Spider-Man #83, then #800.
We already know about All-New, All-Different Avengers yet Avengers is listed a book that is ending.

Yes. This is good.
Yeah, at the very least they'll have BIG text on the cover reminding us it's a big milestone like they did with Guardians and Captain Marvel.
We know quite a few of them will be back, but they will probably be different whether its the creative team or something that changed during the event. The books that don't return will also leave room for new ongoings so that's somewhat interesting as well.
I'm pretty sure that book ended up being A-Forces since it was dated for May 2015.
I see you

Fucking A.
Yes. And every Spider-Man and Avengers title. Even Captain America. Marvel hates Spider-Man, X-Men and Avengers.
