She is the perfect character for kids of that age. She really should be the face that Marvel pushes out to kids.

Yup. I've said it once or twice already, but it's my daughter's favorite book.
Though now she's into A-Force too which is terribly exciting for me.
Basically a Marvel version of what DC announced a few weeks back? Yes! But who else would be in the roster?
Widow
Carol
Doreen
Drew
Wasp

It has Throg in it? Sold.
Yo, not even close. Apparently you missed my lament that the Thor Corps in Secret Wars isn't a BRB Corps.

Sorry to hear that brother
I can't remember, are you reading Deadly Class? If not, you should. Sex Criminals is also great.
Hope you get back on your feet ASAP.
I really want A Force to succeed. If only so we can get more America Chavez and She Hulk

I really enjoyed Gail Simone's recent Red Sonja run. #1-16 which just concluded.
Manhattan Projects!
Zero!
God Hates Astronauts!
Sex Criminals!
Casanova!
ODY-C!
Fear Agent!
Hellboy!
Seige is more relevant to America's success. Gillen will probably keep her around as long as he can.
Jen really should just take priority over Carol.

He can transform his face to look like other faces. And his skin color. That's just his true face.
New 52 Question is terrible. I like his dialogue quirk though, where every single piece of his dialogue is, in fact, a question.
Hrrrrmmmmm
It seems that Anka, Wada and Quinones are working on a hipster version of Guardians at pheonix comic con lol
need this in my life
loved this to pieces.
Remender's Fear Agent and Hickman's FF/F4 both blend this heady sci-fi stuff with a grand scale of adventure wrapped around themes of fatherhood and it just works perfectly.
It also helps that it is a neatly wrapped up story from start to finish. No cross overs, tie ins, cancellations/reboots. Just a great, complete story.

So many cancelled series.
Gails run is over?
America is in Siege?
I agree that it should be Jen over Carol. Carol has her own book to be promoted in.
Didn't want to be the one to say it. Not that it is any indication of their quality. Zero is fantastic. As are Sex Crims and God Hates Astronauts. I have not read the rest.
I would add in Chew as I love it and it is great. Lots of volumes to but it is an easy read.

Yeah. Johns said he'd like 1 Volume every 12-18 months but considering he's a higher up at DC and Frank is a hard working artist in his own right AND Johns wants to do a Shazam ongoing with Frank...basically other things get in the way.
If you wanted to branch out from Batman a bit then I'd recommend Wonder Woman by Azzarello + Chiang, from the New 52 as a new reader friendly but still very good run. Heavy use of greek mythology etc.
Yup read A-Force 1 first before Siege.

Squirrel Girl and Gotham Academy are both great series that I'd like to see more of from Marvel/DC. They're great for all ages and are legitimately good comics. They're the kind of stuff you could recommend to anyone.

Spoilers for Siege's awesome cast:
Abigail Brand is joined by an eclectic cast for Siege, including Miss America Chavez from Young Avengers, Leah of Hel from Journey Into Mystery, Illyanna Rasputin from All-NEw X-Men, a medieval version of Kate "Hawkeye" Bishop, a number of UNITs from S.W.O.R.D. and an army of clones from Mr. Sinister called the Endless Summers.

I'd read Secret Wars Journal #1 before Siege, too
Sorry Messi, I forgot you said you were mid-Infinity. Thought you'd read it.
Well shit. lol

Not my fault people have bad taste and don't support good comics.
when you like a really good comic and it gets cancelled
when you like a really good comic and it gets cancelled
I feel like most of my favs live on the cancellation line and each month I have to hope they don't dip below it. Bar the one exception of Harley which sells silly amounts multiple times a month

Pretty much anything Valiant: Harbinger; X-O Manowar; Archer & Armstrong; The Death-Defying Dr. Mirage; Ivar, Timewalker. Those are just some my favorites, but I'm not sure how they're putting out such consistently great comics across the board.
Deadly Class
Lazarus
Sex Criminals
The Walking Dead
The Fade Out
Saga
Revival

Everything I want to do well, like Superior Foes or New Warriors, ends up getting cancelled :/

Wasn't Superior Foes just kinda done though? I remember reading that it wasn't planned to last any longer than it did
I'm starting to feel naked with no twix in my avatar
If it's any consolation, they said America was a Seige mainstay from the minute they announced the book, so they never really treated it like a huge plot point.
But yeah, A-Force #1 is primarily about her exit. You'll see soon enough.
Todd Nauck did the Gamora, Nick Bradshaw did the Angela...not sure about Rocket.
I've thought about getting a jam piece like that done but get paranoid that it'll get destroyed/stolen across multiple conventions.

Convergence: Booster Gold: Well that was pretty awesome. I had literally no knowledge of who Waverider was.

I feel like I've already said Marvel had a new post-Hawkeye standard of getting a creative team to do exactly 15 issue runs and bail, beucase it just keeps happening.

Convergence: Nightwing and Oracle: This was really good but I don't understand why Barbara went out to fight Hawkgirl and had Black Canary doing the hacking. Like, wouldn't it have made like 1000% more sense for it to be the opposite? Lol?

I've read a lot of stuff around Zero Hour but I don't think I've actually read the series itself proper. Based on your enthusiastic endorsement how can I not?

Probably shouldn't have used Superior Foes as an example, but still, Marvel did some annoying things with that series (and my heart) before it did end. Their justification for raising the price per issue was to help it live longer at its current sales IIRC, which was kind of a load of shit.
The series was scheduled to have just 15 issues, and it technically was if you ignore the two random filler issues.
I miss it :'(
I feel like Quinones did that Carol at a different con. Thats kind of a cool idea for a team piece.

Me too
I'd love a vol. 2 with an all-new cast of ridiculous Spidey villains...the Spot would shine in a book like this
Of course they'd need to bring back Shocker
edit: dream cast - Shocker, the Spot, Stegron, Kangaroo, Swarm

That would at least be giving her some due measure. Instead you'll never see her and she'll never be mentioned again.

And it worked really well for Superior Foes and Kot's Secret Avengers. I say let em. It sucks when the books end but at least they go out on a high note.
Nah, at best she'll be in trouble again and leave when shit hits the fan leading to potential love interest #12
