I only bought 6 comics today! I am cutting back.
You are not entirely wrong. I find there are still a decent number of books I just buy out of habit instead of actually wanting to read them, so I'm trying to stop that.

I'll just tell you then
Do you remember how in the last issue, Wizord
had his magic cut off by the big bad guy
Well, in this issue the talking koala takes him to
see Titanic. It restores some of Wizord's power, because Titanic is magical
Hmm I think I'll just catch up with Superman instead and give Deathstroke a try, that looked cool.
I get that sucks as a fan but she's probably dodged a bullet.

I'm like 70% sure Rich follows these threads after the CW2 thing.
Sure. But please don't lie to fans. Say nothing. I bought this fucking event to see her comeback and nada. It's infuriating.
I know she is never coming back but they gave me hope with no intention of ever following through.

Not to defend them, but it's Marvel. That's like trusting a horse-thief with your horse and expecting to ever see it again.

Joke is on you, I have not bought any issues of Curse Words ever.
Oh what a shame
I'm like 99% sure
Doesn't make it right.
Pay me now, Rich.
ACO Fury preview.
This looks actually pretty good.
I agree with this it is bullshit for those who would be looking forward to her appearance.

Please tell me it's the good Robinson and that it doesn't tie-in to SE.

I may get to it now if I can keep up buying so few comics every week.

ACO Fury preview.
Somebody put forward the argument last night that Vision is the most influential Marvel comic in recent history, or something to that effect.
I look at pages like this and wonder, is it really Hawkeye? This kind of page design, all the zoom-ins on little details and stylish flourishes, I feel is highly prevalent in current Marvel comics. And the modern usage of this design was popularized by Hawkeye, no?
These books often have writing styles and approaches to characterization that are similar to Hawkeye as well.
The original Nick Fury ongoing was the influence on this book when I remember correctly.
Yeah this is ACO channeling Steranko
dafuq. who would say that.
I hope it doesn't tie in and Robinson is kinda eeeeeeehhhhhhhhh
Prices fitting of a person with a large obsessive twitter following.

Remember that issue of GOTG where Captain Marvel was on the cover and she didn't show up until the very last page?
I know the man has to eat but $250 is steeeeeep.
ACO Fury preview.
Now just convince Marco Rudy to stop experimenting with watercolors and we'll be good.
The Shield (DC) was such an under-appreciated title.

Rich, is that you??
That was my thought when I saw the art, Steranko through and through. Shame I just can't get behind what I've read of Robinson
the book looks great fun otherwise, but Ive had trouble warming up to what I've tried of his. I think it was All New Invaders.Like most people liked Civil War II here in the beginning.
I think even when they would do a really good event, people would hate it and be super negativ and I can even understand why.

There is reason to believe that all bendis's editors repeatedly do is tell him he's awesome and can do no wrong. Also that he has great hair.
That was my thought when I saw the art, Steranko through and through. Shame I just can't get behind what I've read of Robinson
Scarlet Witch is decent, but Robinson hasn't put out a great book in 15 years.
Hot take. You're right. He caught me off guard on Batman & Robin Eternal and I've enjoyed him since.

I will read Starman one of these days! I'll do that at least.
Most people actually hated CW2 from when the leaks started happening because of what happened with War Machine and She-Hulk. Here I think some people simply thought it wasn't bad rather than good in the early issues.
I loved it. That Coipel issue was glorious.
I remember people explict saying it was good.
I'm probably remembering wrong. I remember the general reaction people had better than the one here.
Starman is legit top tier comics
I think pretty much every big Marvel event outside of Axis (because it was shit from the get go) started off okay before falling into mediocrity. Secret Wars has really been the exception for me as I loved it all the way.
X-men used to do good events on a regular basis but now it's only Slotts death grip on Spidey that produces the goods.

Marvel events should have ended with Secret Wars.
Well it looks like Jim Cheung will be the artist on Astonishing X-Men. That's a strong choice.
Events are never going to stop. The real issue is them interrupting a ton of books.
Slott hasn't had a good event since Spider-Island in my opinion.
Before that, the Annihilation events (Annihilation, Conquest, War of Kings) were the last good Marvel crossovers.
So... four issues max?
They were left with as clean a slate as possible for Marvel, the sky was the limit! But yet we get heroes vs heroes, heroes vs heroes and heroes vs heroes who wait were never heroes? or maybe were but timey wimey kobik nazi cube?
Least I got all new Wolverine post Secret Wars.
Spider verse is flawed as hell but I love it. Waiting for Clone Conspiracy to hit trade if it hasn't already before reading it fully.
Never did read War of Kings.
