This makes me sad. 😔
There's a reason I haven't said much about it compared to Ant-Man, Hellcat or Strange.
Cumbersnatch Strange, yeah, yeah, yeah but by that logic, Spidey would be retconned to a kid again.
Why, you already have Miles for that

Replace the brown with white and it's a significantly better costume.
Can someone explain to me what that book is? Everyone says it's shit, but I have no idea what it even is.
If that.
Ultimate End is the 616 heroes (but not really because the actual ones are either dead or in the rafts) and the Ultimate heroes (again, not the actual ones as we know) together trying to figure out a way to stop the incursion (but Rhaknar that already happened...shhh) and then they start fighting for no reason, and then The Punisher is randomly killing a bunch of people in something that has nothing to do with the actual story. Its a domain (Manhatten) that makes no sense at all from a battleworld perspective, and as a story is completely senseless. I can safely say its the worst thing Ive ever read from Bendis, it feels like he had this idea of how the ultimate universe should end, but then Hickman had his thing going, and Bendis decided "nah fuck you ill do it my way anyway because im Bendis" so we have this book.

Hell yeah! I'm going to try and watch as much of it as I can today.
Well, shit. I guess I don't have to now. Thanks, man.
Yep, that is my weekend too. Sounds delightful.
I'm pretty sure they were trying to fix the breach in their domains before Doom found out rather than trying to stop incursions.
Except none of that is made remotely clear. We're thrown in this like we're supposed to know what happened beforehand and it doesn't make sense.
And incursions? We're talking about Battleworld not Earth.
Rhaknar brought up incursions lol.

Oh my goodness, those feet. How is he supposed to sneak up on anyone with those clodhoppers?
Both of Waid's Daredevil runs were probably among the most consistent series around. There' wasn't a bad issue. I read two issues of Soule's run and wasn't a fan, the huge change in tone from Waid's run to this just didn't do it for me.
Finished Superior Spider-man last night. I had read about the first half of it or so in the past, but this is my first time all the way through. And it's not perfect, but I certainly enjoyed it quite a bit. I think I may actually MU the stuff that comes after when I get a chance, as I'm curious enough for that, though maybe not enough to buy it as well.
BTW, for is Superior Spider-man Team-up? An actually good supplement to the series, or just a money grabbing tie-in thing?
Oh, and no spoilers on specifics if so, but has Ock come back since this yet? Feels like a really awkward position for the character to be in, in terms of what they can do with him in the future.
Actually, for that matter, how many characters have had a heel-turn back to villainy after a decent sized stint of being a hero?
. Feels like that's a lot harder to justify than the reverse (ie a villain becoming good) in the world of comics. I guess Magneto has flip-flopped to some degree at least?
Also, the biggest weird thing for me here: the huuuuuuuge dissonance between 616 Phil Urich and Spider-Girl universe Phil Urich. It's funny how much they diverged, as Spider-Girl was building on the character of the time as a washed-up hero, but by the time Superior roles around in the main timeline he's a petty, pathetic thug, pretty much. Just really weird to see the character like that after reading 100 and some issues of Spider-Girl.

Which, yeah, of course a large part of the point was that Ock was doing a bad job of things, but in the end it legitimately ties together as him really trying at least

Looks like Marvel are doing a Rogue One min-series in October before the film comes out.

Zombine already on the wayCapullo is selling his Batman Court of Owls pages at C2E2. If the tweet is to be believed it seems like the debut of skin mask Joker will be 5 figures.

Almost caught up on Batman now. Snyder's writing is certainly not free of flaws, but damn if he doesn't make consistantly entertaining blockbuster style arcs. Plus, Capullo the God obvs.
Do we know who is taking over Batman after they leave?

I've been having a hard time getting into any Avengers after Secret Wars. I read the first 1 or 2 issues of all the books, but they all seem so different. What's actually good? Excluding Uncanny Avengers. I can't stand Deadpool.
I'm really not into Amazing Spider-Man either and I've loved Slott's run so far. I loved Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Verse. I just don't like this Spider-Man with a Spider-Man bodyguard thing. I stopped reading it after the 4th issue I think.

When they stop having Bendis write his solo, I think Miles will get better.
I don't know, maybe Walker can stretch his schedule a little more, or find another up and coming black writer.
Oversatisfied with this shit. I dont need 900 people with Spider-Powers. Morlus should have killed them all.

Started Miller's Daredevil last night. Always forget how dense older comics are. It's pretty crazy that we got Matt and Elektra's college relationship handled in a single issue while still having time to focus on the present. That's normally like a full arc nowadays.
