Bleeding Cool posted thoughts on issue 0 with a basic outline of what happens and it's sure something al-right.

I read it and if I'm understanding it correctly....

Spoiler

The Allies had always lost WWII and it wasn't until they used the Cosmic Cube to rewrite reality that they won.

am I understanding that correctly?

James Harren is taking over art on Seven to Eternity. Opena getting too much of that sweet storyboard money.

I'll probably drop that one then. Nothing I hate more in comics than an artist change. Also Opena now has a permanent spot on the list.

Also does this mean Rumble is done?

 

[Sandfox]

That SE teaser opens up a lot of possibilities for the ending.

Interview with Roy Thomas, the creator of Iron Fist, about the Iron Fist controversy.

I just think some people have too much time on their hands, I guess. They have an infinite capacity for righteous indignation. By and large, that tends to be misplaced quite often because if you’re becoming all upset over things that are just stories, and if you don’t like it, instead of trying to change somebody else’s story, go out and make up your own character and do a good job of it. That’s just fine, but why waste time trying to run down other people’s characters simply because they weren’t created with your standards in mind?

Because I did want to reach out to all races. Marvel has always pioneered — for years — in having people of other races in the comics, from Black Panther through Luke Cage and a few others. I made up the concept for another group a little later, I think it was in one of the kung fu magazines we had, “magazines” being the black and white comics, as we called them. I made up a concept — I forget if I made up the name — called the Sons of the Tiger. It was three people: one white, one black, one Asian. I turned that over to other people and let them handle it. I figured if that doesn’t hold, people are just too damn particular, they’re just too damn sensitive for their own good or anybody else’s. But then I really don’t have much sympathy at all to trigger warnings or any of that crap. I think it’s overdone and nobody but a baby needs it, an intellectual baby.

Tl;dr, Roy Thomas is an old man stuck in old ways.

Woah, don't hit the panic button haha. It's just a guest spot, I tweeted Harren and asked. Opena is back afterwards, I think it's more of a different artist for a lore centric issue or something, and probably gives Opena a bit more time

That Secret Empire thing is kind of awesome.

Also the Thor words are a kind of let down considering how long it's gone unrevelwed but it definitely makes sense in the sense of Aaron's story arc from the very beginning. No need no drag it out this long though. In that sense only is it underwhelming.

No digital readers looking to dive into Aaron's Dr Strange run then?

 

[Kanhir]

So I just took the plunge and signed up for Marvel Unlimited (free month, man). I'm eventually going to work my way through old Spider-Man stuff, but other than that I'm pretty overwhelmed by the amount of choice.

What do I absolutely have to read, no questions asked?
(Also, what should I avoid like the plague?)

Hawkeye by Matt Fraction is a must read.

I'd also recommend:
Daredevil (Miller, Bendis, Waid all have great runs)
X-Force / X-Statix by Peter Milligan
The Superior Foes of Spider-Man
She-Hulk by John Byrne
Uncanny X-Force and Uncanny Avengers by Rick Remender
Vision by Tom King
Avengers by Busiek

Should keep you set for a while. None of them are crazy to commit to and they're all great. Hawkeye, Daredevil by Miller, and X-Force are my top three if I had to narrow it down.

these 2 are must reads, imo. short, self contained and so so good.

I really like Secret Warriors by Jonathan Hickman. I'd recommend that.

When is shield supposed to come out?

Is it worth staying spoiler free for Superman tomorrow.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

When is shield supposed to come out?

Just as soon as Marvel have something else to troll us with forever haha

 

[PsychBat!]

I really like Secret Warriors by Jonathan Hickman. I'd recommend that.

Arguably the best work he's done at Marvel. Arguably.

 

[Freezasaurus]

FYI East of West Year Two is up at IST for $25.

Back to Mass Effect.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Every time I think about it it reminds me Aaron put Fury on the moon I mean i don't mind what he did with him, it's a novel idea but no one has done anything significant with him since, bar a few cameos. Fury needs to be on the table. He could have been an exciting part of Secret Empire.

 

[jon bones]

putting Bloodshot Reborn on hold... gonna run it back and finish up one last event before moving forward with my read order (Bloodshot Reborn, Rai, 4001 AD, Bloodshot USA)


forgot i got all of this ages ago and never read it:

 

[Ross61]

Remember Hulks two sons?

 

[Brian Fellows]

No digital readers looking to dive into Aaron's Dr Strange run then?

Already gave it a shot a didn't like it at all.

 

[shingi70]

Remember Hulks two sons?

Thought he had a son and a daughter.

 

[jurgen]

I gave it a shot. It felt like Aaron and Bachalo were just doing a Dr. Strange-themed take on their Wolverine & The X-Men.

We get it, there are wacky rooms in your house.

 

[Sandfox]

Thought he had a son and a daughter.

Hulk has two sons and two daughters.

 

[jurgen]

Thought he had a son and a daughter.

Two sons. Skaar and Hiro, from the Planet Hulk storyline. His daughter, Lyra, is another one of those alternate future children that Marvel loves to throw out there.

This isn't helping guys I already like the series, I just have codes that came with my HCs that I don't need. Then you all come along saying how much you dislike like it! Haha.

I've dropped DS now Aaron has left

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Yea, I'm not sure what I'll do. I really loved Niko Henrichon back in the day on the OGN he did with BKV so I'd love to see that work. Probably have Hopeless a volume to win me over.

 

[BKatastrophe]

No Bendis maybe we have a chance and it might run smoothly. At least the Cap books were building towards it, worried about the Elwing books though i'm wondering if some books will pull a Spider woman or Power fist and Iron man

Also reading Mike Carey's run on X-men, guess Mystique being on an X-men team isn't unprecedented. Not sure how i feel about Bobby banging Mystique, something tells me it's not going well.
Really good run so far by the way

I loved the team alone in that run, let alone the actual storylines. Haven't finished it though. Only read the Supernovas hardcover.

Lady Mastermind is my favorite member. Love to see her on a new team:

Storm
Armor
Lady Mastermind
Dazzler
Laura Kinney
Warpath
Hijack
Dr. Nemesis

Bigger team than I'd usually make, but I think it's solid.

Marvel be forgetting about kids. I wonder how Rachel summers lasted it so long.

Skaar appeared somewhat recently and all of the Hulks showed up in the Duggan run.

Rachel is simply a popular character.

The tweet was a joke. He also took a shot at people tweeting him about the book.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

I just thought it was funny since Shingi was asking at almost the exact same time haha Hickman reads gaf confirmed?

 

[BKatastrophe]

Do I want to know the Thor words, or do I want to wait? Not gonna be able to pick up my books until later in the week anyways. Unless I wake up early enough to grab my books before I work at noon...

Decisions decisions

Gorr was right. The gods are a plague and humanity would be better without them.

Man, tommorow's Action Comics. People are going to flip and good luck explaining this to anyone.

Talk about convoluted.

I don't think it's that crazy or convoluted, considering the past decade or so of DC continuity.

I guess I should say it's a convuluted way to get to point X when point X is what should have been the norm to begin with.
