Standoff has been decent
Standoff is really good so far.

His Thunder agents run was awesome. Too bad it didn't last long.

That Jimmy Olsen one-shot was legit great though.
I'll always wonder what his take on Inhuman would have been like. I think he said that elements of it made their way into ODY-C.
I would be down for Star Wars: Tales of the Rebel Alliance as an anthology series. I'm hoping we see more stuff like that post-Rogue One.
Scott's still a idiot but after this issue, things are gonna get insane...and yet, WHY IS SCOTT IS JAIL?
He probably spent too much time with Silk.

I can't believe that was one of the first books I picked up after I got into comics.

Is that the weird Moon Knight / Taskmaster Secret Avengers? Please say no, I havent read that yet and the team is cool and weird
Taskmaster's in it, dunno about Moon Knight, I quit after the first Marvel Now trade.
Man, the tone is all over the place. It tries doing the invoking real-world issues by name like a grown-up serious comics for adults, but then it drowns it in JOKES and goofs like it's nothing. The Maria Hill in Standoff doesn't give a shit about anything, and doesn't even act like what's happening is important, and that kind of transparent cynicism is a) some straight up cartoon villain shit and b) completely erases all the cool bits of character development that took place in Secret Avengers
This was my joke
I knew you were joking, just like the Rockets know winning isn't everything. Rockets/Clippers espn tonight.

Oh my goodness, shit went down in Low this month. Clean Room as well.
Haha. I red the first couple issues, then I stopped picking it up. Who was the artist?

WAT, I always thought Anka was solid. He's too busy consulting with Sideshow on the Captain Marvel PF to consult with himself when drawing her. :O

I grabbed the last three issues of Omega Men today, too. Figured it's time to catch up. Now I immediately remember why I loved this book in the first place.
Spoil me pls, last thing you huys told me about it was the half hybrid Cyclops. I need to live through you guys for another 6 months and you are failing me >_<

Glad I am not the only one who hates Anka's art.

I like Ramos. His Peter Parker usually looks like a fucking psychopath, but he's a good artist.
Y'all got too used to Lopez, Quinoes and McGuinness

We've grown fat on all these amazing artists.
I liked those character study things Anka did awhile back, and he did some nice redesigns for a CBR article. His stuff in a regular book looks a bit stiff and lifeless though.

This particular page is set 1,000 years in the future. it looks like Colossus is Apocalypse and Deadpool, Moonknight, and Venom are his horsemen. I'm not sure why Moonknight is a female, maybe the mantle was passed?and I'm assuming Colossus is not the 4th Horseman because of the fact that he says "to me my horsemen."
Basically in the present day Storm sends Colossus and the young mutants to Japan yo investigate what appears to be a lot of mutant activity. When they arrive Colossus and the rest find Sugar Man (a villain from another dimension I guess never heard of him) who has cultivated 600 mutant embryos and plans to transport to the future so they avoid the Terrigen Mists plague. Obviously the catch is that he plans on enslaving these mutants in the future. A battle ensues between Colossus, the young team, and Sugar Man. This causes his machine to fire out of control and sends em all to the future. The rest of the Xmen are informed about what happened via Cerebra and they embark on a mission to save their friends from the future. Cerebra somehow bends space time and sends Storm, Logan, Kurt, Jean, and Bobby whIle Ilyana is ordered to stay behind to protect the school. When they arrive in the future they find a desolate and destroyed NYC. They bump into grown up versions of the young mutants that disappeared but Colossus was still missing. That leads to the reveal with the Horseman.

I've got Ramos in the same tier of JRJR, which is that I recognize they can be good/great, but their style falters when they prioritize speed.

I agree completely. I really wish they'd just make their own characters and have a huge adventure story without having to worry about fitting it into the movie continuity. There is so much potential for greatness and they are just playing it safe.

Oh, shit. I know how it feels to have to suddenly go out and find a new place to live, it's an awful feeling. Good luck dude.

Fuck man, are you guys in your late 20s? I hope you guys have the finances.
Fuck man. Sorry to hear that.
Good luck. Seems like kind of a rough situation.
Ant Man:
Cassie/Kate have good lines and man, it's refreshing to see something outside the WAHHHHH LOSER HERO stuff.
Silk: Someone call Marvel to ditch Ford, unless she works cheaper than Lee, STOP! Lee's covers make me sad that it's the only decent art in it.
Power Man & Iron Fist: Psych's Shawn and Gus get superpowers and have mischief, they even have the Blueberry but red!
Scarlet Witch : Very good, Emerald Warlock ad Scarlet Witch finally fight and
CASSIE HAS POWERS AGAIN! YAY!
Silk: Someone call Marvel to ditch Ford, unless she works cheaper than Lee, STOP! Lee's covers make me sad that it's the only decent art in it.
Silk hinting that heel turn!
Scarlet Witch : Very good, Emerald Warlock ad Scarlet Witch finally fight and
Wanda meets her momma.
