SG seems quite safe. She's probably in a better spot than Silver Surfer.

SG seems quite safe. She's probably in a better spot than Silver Surfer.
I was listening to an interview with Kate Leth about the book and she said she was trying to leave behind most of Patsy's dark past and that her Hellcat is not the same as the Jessica Jones series version. She also talked about being horrified by a story from years ago where Patsy commits suicide. I don't know what story that was but it sounds fucked up.
I do like that she keeps having Patsy reference how she has died many times before.
I think Squirrel Girl is very safe. That book seems to be doing great.
Isn't it one of Marvel's more popular books?
Oh, so the Shitty Childhood part was actually from the books? Didnt knew this, I thought this was made up by the TV show
Reached 700 issues read. The highlights for April have been Dan Slott's She Hulk, the Astro City Family Album trade and BPRD Plague of Frogs volume 2 (Daimio's introduction has really kicked things up a notch, the interactions between him and Roger at the start was so good).
I'm planning to be done with the challenge by June now which is pretty incredible to think about. I kind of want to catch up on some "proper" novels after that because that's all taken a back seat to comics this year.

Yes.
There is also The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up The Marvel Universe as an OGN, which should be oversized as well.

Went through all of Spider-Gwen last night and it isn't bad but like... why is it so depressing? Why can't it just be high-school hijinks but with Gwen as the spider-person instead of Peter? It just isn't very enjoyable to read.
The truth hurts
The light moments with Jessica are the best part of that book. More of that. But no its gonna be depressing instead.
Are any of the current Inhumans books any good?

Most of the color work on this cover is very nice but it looks like they have their light sources mixed...
They are both really good.
I am a little bit sad that the Inhumans Movie got delayed, the setting I wanted with the Game of Thronesque Political Monarchy thriller would be cool. Also I really want to see Black Bolt on the big screen, one of my favorite never actually read a thing about character. Medusa with her CGI hair would have been cool, too.
Totally forgot it was sunday LIST!

This is actually releasing? I would've thought the hiatus put paid to that. I'll get it anyway. One more for the road. Then the tears.

in the context of "MJ knew Peter was Spider-Man since the beginning" retcon, MJ is supreme bitch numero uno after this shit
He said this arc is finishing as expected. I think this is the end.

Started reading Spider-Man today. I read Dying Wish to prepare myself for Superior Spider-Man. I enjoyed the hell out of it, didn't realize how much I'd missed reading Spidey.
I almost pulled the trigger on the first volume of Doctor Strange when I was making an IST order. Just seems silly to buy a book only for the art. I miss looking at Bachalo art.

That seriously makes my skin crawl
It's not worth the hassle. I like seeing the new artist on each issue but the writing isn't there. I am considering dropping it.
Not me am I dead inside?

You're a comic reader, you've been dead inside the whole time and just not realised it.
Or is that just me?
Hmm that's disappointing to say the least. I just had a look at the previews for it and yeah the changing artists seems to be the only interesting thing about it.
Is there any ongoings you would recommend instead? I'm only pulling what is out this week and All New Wolverine.

I'm sure you're reading Black Widow, but you should try Mockingbird if you haven't already
Doctor strange is a good book

I'm looking forward to Mockingbird. Why did Marvel have to release all the books that really interest me 3 or 4 months after ANAD started?
Black Panther, Power Man and Iron Fist, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, and Silver Surfer are all very good.
add in Black Widow and Mockingbird and you have a nice list

Mockingbird so good. The art is still great, even though they went with a different artist than the one-shot.
I don't think they were counting on that Mockingbird one-shot being as popular as it was.
I'm going to miss Secret Six. Again.
Is it cancelled for Rebirth? that's a shame it was one of the DC books I was reading before I took a break

MJ can be such a frustrating character to like, just read the latest ASM preview and it has
Peter acting like a chump in front of her.
Maybe it's just Peter I'm frustrated with and the power he lets MJ hold over him.
There hasn't been a peep about whether or not it's carrying over into Rebirth. Writing's kind of on the wall.
Gail said she isn't writing a book in rebirth right now. Its over.
There's only a couple of books carrying over to Rebirth that are not getting relaunched: Gotham Academy, Earth 2, and Dr Fate. After the colossal failure that was DC You, Rebirth is DC doubling down on the main line and legacy characters. Sadly there isn't a whole lot of experimentation with the first wave of titles.

Yeah, I've read generally positive things about it. Not sure why I'm so apprehensive about jumping in.
I'm loving Superior Spider-Man so far. Ghost Peter haunting Octavius is really fun and interesting to see him struggle with how Spider-Man is composing himself. I can't wait to see how all this works out. I'm definitely going to be buying more Spidey books in the future.
