Rare colour issue of Usagi Yojimbo and the colourist did a stellar job! Tom Luth, also does the colours for Groo.
On to Grasscutter next!

Chadwick Boseman's sexy ass.
Honourable mention goes to the
Dora Milaje who told Black Widow to move as BP was going to his car

Ehhh, i'd er on the safe side and count that as a spoiler.
Thought I was going to read some Spider-man, ended up reading Villains United. Maybe I need to have a better knowledge of C and D list DC villains to enjoy this book. It is very far from bad, but I feel like I'm having tons of fan service thrown at me and it is having no effect. It also seems like it is heavily affected by Identity Crisis? I imagine it came out sometime shortly after that. The book itself is very well drawn, and I'm sure if I were more of a DC fanboy, I'd be really loving seeing all of these folks on the same panel. As for now, I'm only two trades into Suicide Squad, so I recognize Deadshot, and that's about it.
Hopefully Secret Six proper is enjoyable with less need for background knowledge. Maybe I just need to set this book aside until I read a lot more DC stuff.
I also read the first 8 issues of Star Wars by Aaron. Much better than I expected. I enjoy the EU stuff a lot more, Star Wars Legacy in particular, but this absolutely nails the voice of Han, Luke, and Leia. When I'm done catching up on the MU stuff with this, I'll probably jump on the Darth Vader series. I've heard that is Vader being treated like a little kid as he fails the Emperor. Really into that. Also, it is nice to see some force powers every now and then.

That was the best move in the film since
they were suddenly and stupidly introduced like halfway through act two and suddenly like super important out of nowhere? Lol fuck that. Zemo better than that. And T'Challa better than Zemo.
Grasscutter is such a interesting arc of Usagi because Sakai goes full on Japanese history/Country legends

That was definitely the best comic book line that week.
Also, don't get me wrong, I love that book, but Spider-Woman is my favorite ANAD (after Vision, maybe.)
So pretty
I liked the "same reason Black History month is the shortest month" line as well. This is everything I want in a book with these two characters.
I have read Spider-woman or Vision yet but they are on my list.

It's alright. It's kind of dogging Ennis' Marvel Knights style, and not just because they're both drawn by Steve Dillon. I'm going to stick with it through the first arc to see where it goes. If you've never read Punisher, it's probably not a bad place to start.

I actually really liked everything art wise in Punisher, except Punisher himself.

What's the difference between the Daredevil by Miller Omnibus and the large paperback volumes? It seems going with the large volumes is cheaper and there is more content?

His coloring can put me off, it's why I have a hard time with his Punisher and preacher work.

They cover the same content for the most part. I believe the third paperback includes two of the one-off issues but those are in the Daredevil Companion Omnibus along with Man Withour Fear and Born Again.
The paperbacks are a much better deal. The omnibuses are overpriced.
decidedly meh I'm dropping it till the first arc is finished then I'll gauge whether it's worth going back to.
Someone is getting assassinated at that wedding. He's one of my favourite writers I'm actually reading through his Winter Soldier run right now and it's great. Love how he writes Natasha and Bucky together.
That run has a killer ending. Hope you have lots of tissues.

I don't think he usually does his own colors. I know he didn't do them on Preacher.

whoooa, colors
You're not wrong.
I have the flu right now so I'm swimming in tissues. Hopefully the machine gun toting russian gorilla makes it out okay.
Frank Martin is doing the colours for Punisher. He's doing the current Invincible Iron Man arc as well.

Steve Dillon's art doesn't do anything for me. I think it's ugly.
Punisher is also probably my least favorite Marvel character so it's a double whammy. Easiest pass ever.

Not crazy at all the artist left to do Civil War 2 Electric Boogaloo. Marquez drew the shit out of the issues he was on so Civil War 2 should be cool.

Dillon does dark comedy well but uh not much outside of that. Parlovs Punisher > Dillons

Hopefully he comes back after Civil War 2. I'm getting used to the new guy but I definitely prefer the old one

I'm sure it works for Preacher (I haven't read it) and the older stuff, but every modern Marvel comic I've seen by him, like Thunderbolts, looks bad IMO.
Not a fan of how Deodata draws Doom to look like Vincent Cassel. I'd really like Marquez back on the book as well.

Villains United is heavily tied with other arcs as a combination of aftermath from Identity Crisis and a lead in to Infinite Crisis. So yes, there's a bit more to it than it just being a standalone. That said everything after that is just gold
Henderson hate bothers me. It's not so much that people dislike her art, obviously art is subjective and people have different tastes. My problems begin when people call her a bad artist and begin to question if she's qualified to work at Marvel. It's really weird and I see it happen quite frequently.
I think Brubaker might be one of the most consistently great writers to date.
The guy rarely if ever writes a bad issue.
Both him and Greg Rucka.

Secret Six Vol. 4 not disappointing in the least.
The general opinion that I've seen seems to be that it's pretty not good. I can't speak for that, however, since the only part of it I've read was the crossover with All-New X-Men, The Trial of Jean Grey. I really enjoyed that.
I'd marry Giganta

So, I was reading the new Thanos/Adam Warlock series, and I am confused:
The white explosion that destroyed everything was also the one from the incursions? Did Adam explode 616 in a cosmic level and we perceived it was because of the incursions? Is the Thanos he revives the same one from The Ultimates?

It does make me rather annoyed. Any artist that has a slightly off-beat style seems to attract so many negative emotions from the audience. I would rather see a different art style that I dislike than another Jim Lee clone.
If Kirby was working today, I think there would be a bunch of "what-is-that-face" comments like the ones Pulido seems to attract.
Pretty but boring. Even if you've already read Abnett and Lannings run I'd just read it again instead of going down that hole.
