She ain't no Sana Takeda, tho. That new issue of Monstress today was so amaze.
Completely different artists but ok...
Comics!
Planet Hulk #5: Alright ending, I don't mind the
. Overall it was still one of the best SW tie-ins.
Giant Size Little Marvel AvX #4: More Skottie silliness, with Guardians of the Galaxy and Inhumans joining in, but with a ending that looks like it would have a 5th issue but apparently it doesnt. Oh well, its a silly book that is all about the art so ill give that a pass. And chibi Medusa is great.
Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows #5: Feel good ending with the Parker family vs Regent. Ending felt a bit rushed but thats a pattern im seeing with most these tie-ins, that and the lack of urgency. Im reminded of Age of Apocalypse (the original) and how every book had something happening towards the main story, each team had a mission or whatever, but here because of the nature of the event I guess most are self contained and this most so far end a little too neatly. Still, I enjoyed the series more than I thought I would especially after not feeling issue 1. Kubert art was great as usual.

WOW that looks incredible. Can't wait to read more of Gotham Academy beyond the first trade. I'm such a big fan.

Do you still read Monstress, Messi? Fox girl was totes adorbz today.
Wait are you sure about this? I just started reading Thunderbolts on there this week and the first issue is the reveal that they're the masters of evil. Is this not the original run?
Yup sure is. Now go search for the issues... #1, #2, #3, #4, so far so good...wait what's that, it jumps to #42 for no reason? And then jumps from #44 to #75 again for no reason? Alrighty then!
Anyway, Ms.Marvel #18: One of the best "last days of" stories as Kamala's brother gets temporary powers from Kamala's crazy inhuman boy toy, Kamala and Carol share a touching moment, and so does Kamala and her friend as she tells her the truth before the world ends. Art is fantastic as usual (annoyed Kamala face is hilarious) and the writing is really well done. This ended up being a fantastic book (with some lows dont get me wrong) well worth the hype unlike a certain other new female superhero. Good stuff.
Yup. It's lovely. She used to work for Disney. Worked on Wreck it Ralph and Big Hero 6. You might have seen her work in paperman
Read the second issue and didn't feel where it was heading so I haven't read more. Still bought them.
Wow this is sad to know. Great.
GET HER TO DO SILK!
She doesn't do regular interiors. She is new to drawing comics stuffs. Seems she is sticking to mostly covers. I'd love her on Silk but she could only be the odd fill in here or there. Looks like interiors take her some time.
I would say sorry but misery loves company.
Secret Wars Battleworld #3 - two short stories. First is an awful battleroyale with a bunch of wolverines and a zen wolverine in the midst, which has no ending and feels completely pointless. Then we follow the 1872 Deadpool and his steed Lockjaw, as Deadpool wants to capture and tame Devil Dinosaur to ride him. This was pretty fun as expected from that description, but not so fun that it makes up for the awful first story. Man, Devil Dinosaur sure made quite a comeback lately huh?
Her and Jess still have their Spider-verse universe hopping gadgets. They use them to hang out in a Spider-Gwen issue.
Cute moment
Also Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman and Silk are crossing over in a mini event very soon. It's called Spider-women.

Sorry to hear about your situation Psych. I wish the best for you.
Read some comics:
Power Man and Iron Fist #2 - Only two issues in, but this book is everything I wanted so far. The relationship between Danny and Luke, and their constant bickering, is handled so well here and it's just a blast to follow. I tried the last Iron Fist run and I was very, very unhappy with it, so this is a great return-to-form for Danny. Highly recommended if you want a good street level comic.
Daredevil: The Road Warrior - Solid little story, although nothing really special and ultimately kind of bland. The stuff with Matt and Kirsten was cute though. Not a very big fan of the Infinite style for these digital comics. The blurring effects used between the "pages" looks really bad at points.
Daredevil #1 #2 by Mark Waid - This is what I like to see! Fun issue with my favorite creative team at Marvel. Very excited to continue on with this.

Secret Wars Battleworld #4 - I liked this one. Two Silver Surfer stories, first one in the egiptian domain (the one from that awesome X-Men Moon Knight short story a few issues ago?) as Surfer teams up with Juggernaut to kill Fing Fang Foom to use him as substance for Galactus's head that is stuck in his village, where Galactus hunger is too big for a small village. Second story is basically Surfer making Maestro look like a bitch as he retrieves his board from Maestro's possession. Art in the first story is pretty cool, not so much in the second one. Cool issue tho.
My sister doesn't believe that we can make enough for the both of us. Even for a studio.
How did you cope? Because I'm just at a loss for words.
If not, we'll probably stay put for a couple of months. But the passive aggressiveness from our dad is just unbearable. He antagonizes us with mean jokes that serve to make us angry and amuse him. Then there's the mood swings, which are bizarre as he turns from extremely angry to having a good time as if nothing happened. And it's not like he forgets how he's behaving, he's fully aware he's being an asshole the entire time.
Thanks.
I hope we can make it.

real talk for a second
it baffles me how little we talk about comic related things (shows, movies, what have you) which would be fine in a "rhaknar this is the comic BOOK thread", but then the amount of wrestling / anime / videogame / whatever bullshit that happens completely kills that idea so...whut
Motherfucker I talk about comics on the regular. Reading Ellis/Bianchi's run on Astonishing X-Men right goddamn now.its not the off tipic talk that I find weird btw, its the lack of comic book related stuff. I would think comic book enthusiasts would be more...enthusiastic about comic book related things lol
It's not that we don't like wrestling, it's that Roman Reigns and Big Show are straight garbage.
Dude joing the two-person hype train of me and ReiGun in our attempt to get a Mera/Diana/Barda book.
Same, but I really liked Soule's run a lot.
Why won't you love that book as much as I do?
No one likes SirynI give you an Irish lass to commemorate St.Patrick's Day
Axe Cap was from another domain right from the start. That was the whole point of the colosseum: different warriors from different domains fighting for Doom's favor. Doc Green's point is that there's "A Hulk within us all," and that all he did was let his loose. Basically he's saying Cap will eventually become a monster just like he did, especially since the gamma in Greenland brings it out.
I personally disliked the ending a lot. It was a dumb twist, though I do like the Doc Green reveal as the string puller, I wish there had been a reason as to why Doom would bother with it, unless it's stated and I don't recall.

At the end of the day, I just had to buckle down and find a place. In the meantime, I stayed with some friends for cheap. There's definitely nothing so disconcerting as finding out that you're not welcome in your home, but eventually you learn to... cope, I guess.
In my case, it was some roomies (one of them my best friend from HS) kicking me out because one of them (said best friend's GF) couldn't stand me for some reason. Not 2 months after I got the book, they broke up because she was cheating on him with a coworker.
There was some catharsis in that I'll admit.

I'm late to the party, but after Vision, Mighty Thor has to be the best book of ANAD. Look at this art (removed text to avoid spoilers).

Spider woman #5.
How much $ does she have? She complains that she used to just sleep all day. Maybe catch a film in the afternoon or go to the park but now she has a baby that takes up all her time!
Boo hoo. Trying having to go to work at a 9-5 everyday, Drew and then have a kid.
It was just so rich people problems it blew my mind.

I've not read any of the Thor before ANAD. I've been kicking myself for not picking up those 7 issues when they were on sale a few weeks before the relaunch.

My favorite ANAD comics so far are Squirrel Girl, Vision, and Power Man and Iron Fist. Mockingbird and Black Widow had good first issues too and I'm sure they'll stay good.
Thor looks good art-wise but I haven't read any of it so...

Interview with Brevoort and Hickman about Secret Wars.
http://www.omnivoracious.com/2016/0...evoort-on-secret-wars-amazon-book-review.html
Looks like major changes were made for issues #7-#9 in the hardcover.

Since topic came up kind of regarding MU gaps, I checked it again the other day since the character came up in Superior Spider-man, and... they still don't have more than like the first 10 issues of Spider-man 2099. How the heck did they fail to fill that in when they brought him to 616?! (I think everything else 2099 is also missing, for what it's worth, but I didn't really check too thoroughly).
Are they at least still trying to fill in the holes at all, or are updates pretty much just the 6 month delay stuff now? Don't really keep up with what's being added...

Its the most exceptional thing about a comic book that aims to be as unexceptional, unexciting, unfunny, and unrewarding as legally possible in the year of our lord Grant Morrison, 2016
All of Aaron's run is straight up FIRE.
