Pike might be hard to find searching by name, the author is Benjamin Whitmer to narrow things down
And interestingly A Single Shot got a movie in 2013 starring Sam Rockwell
Catching up on Star Wars stuff, read Darth Vader #9-12, its so good. I loved the stuff with the investigator and Vader subtly keeping him off track, and I was sure
was going to die at least twice lol. Apparently it continues in Vader Down so hopefully that one is also good.

We couldn't even get 27-year olds on this website to read Hawkeye, how you hawking this shit on kids
(pun not intended)
Im still waiting for a book with reformed villains as superheroes but as a proper second chance and not as government dogs.
Like Titania was just trying to live her life in Illuminati #1 for example
Clayton as a reformed villain is a researcher for Parker Industries iirc, Cardiac's a doctor I think now. It's been handled better in Spider-Man than other books tbh. There was some guy with magnetic gloves that robbed banks and had his life destroyed when he left jail and Peter offered him an entry-level position on probation at Horizon Labs.
Porcupine in Spider Woman!
That too. Spiders are the only people to get the villain reform down. Except for Grim Hunt when Peter told Kraven to go be a dentist or something- I don't think that took.

It's the best. Just a terrific series.

I'm reading the new Heavy Metal and I'm digging it so far but I just got to this ugly comic with Microsoft Word effects on the text and panels and a meme just pasted into it and I don't know if I can keep going
Jesus, I forgot how good this recent Martian Manhunter run was/is. I'm on issue #9 after a small hiatus and it's like I've never quit reading.
My goal is to finish all of Cyborg, Constantine, Black Canary, Doctor Fate, Grayson, Midnighter, Gotham Academy, and Batgirl before Rebirth. Wish me luck brehs.

Saw Captain America: Civil War. Thought it was pretty fantastic. I felt that Scott and Peter were unnecessary though. Only felt like they were there for the big fight., though they were still extremely entertaining. Peter and T'challa were both on fucking point. Felt the CG was a little spotty at points.
That said I fucking loved every moment.

I will fight for Squirrel Girl as hard as I fought for Pulado's She-Hulk. There's nothing wrong with art that's out there, especially when the writing is so fun. I'm more than happy to see some goofy looking ladies, not everyone has to be house-style boob socked supermodels. I will say I don't care anything about Koi Boy or the other guy though.
Maybe not necessary to the plot, but definitely necessary for the film. Brought some levity to that scene as well as some much needed variety in terms of powers, and both of them walked away with the whole sequence. The film is arguably more fun for having them included.

A Justified reference in the first issue of Superior Foes? I'm in love already!
Oh man, are you reading Superior Foes for the first time? I envy you. Great book.

I fell off of Cyborg and Doctor Fate pretty hard, thought both were pretty bad.

I really like this Black Canary costume from the new 52 Birds of Prey. I wish DC kept it tbh.
Best show on the CW. The second season is leagues above the (pretty good) first season.

You must not be watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend...
I'm not, because I can't legally watch the show in Germany as it is not available anywhere, not even digitally.

Damn, well that shit sucks.
Honestly I don't believe you. When we go to her table I'm telling her what you said.

I'm kind of surprised how heavily Deadpools story is relying on continuity and pre-SW stuff. Seems weord to be in Deadpool of all books.

Hickman Avengers prologue
New Avengers (2010) #7-#8 - Started reading this by mistake. (Thank you, Marvel re-numbering). Looks like fun, might have to revisit this run.
New Avengers (2006) #7-#10 - Nothing special in its own right but introduced an interesting new character. Lets see where this goes.
The Road to Civil War: Illuminati - This was a little more interesting. T'Challa being the only sensible one. Reed Richards and Tony continue to be dicks. I finally see how this connects to sending Hulk off world, where we get Planet Hulk.
Civil War - I think someone hacked marvel.com and replaced the 7 issues with some Zach Snyder re-writes of the comics. I need to track down the originals.
Still deciding on whether I want to read AvX. I might just look up the summaries on wikipedia or something.
Thanks, I've been doing this and it seems to work.
echo knows what he is talking about. AoS is like the group of kids at school trying to act cool by dropping names because one of them got invited to a popular party once.

I questioned the quality of the art.
Well Deadpool has been all one long story.
Eaerh-2 Society is pretty dope book that no one really talks about. It's like All Star Squadren where they've been doing their own thing and it's less about superheroes as it it is Different factions with heroes backing each one. Jimnez kills it on art with his Cartoonish yet still realistic proportions, and the cast is super Diverse with an ample mix of different races, Genders and Body types.

Ah, I ended up giving up mid Posehn writing and was just jumping back on.
More pages for me then m8
I'll already have bought them all at Cincy Comic Con in September.

Yeah it's not a vital read for Hickman's run. I'd read a summary too if I were in your shoes, because I re-read it again recently and didn't like it that much at all.
I'm still salty they didn't give more time to develop Hawkgirl, GL, Flash and Dr. Fate before bringing back new versions of the Trinity. <.<
I don't even remember if Alan's fiance's death was ever fully explained. It's been so long since I read the series, and I didn't even bother touching World's End.

"There is something seriously fucking wrong with you."
Yup, The Fix is great.
Yup, The Fix is great.
The book has slowed down and been able to give most of the cast ample spotlights and going some interesting places with the Earth-2 citizens starting to hate Wonders as they're called. Then you get guys like Flash who's just tired and just wants to stop because so many people beg for his help.
So ended up reading a bunch of ANAD Marvel comics last night, which was interesting since it'd been a while since I sat down and read anything recent after burning out to a degree a while back.
Read:
Ultimates: Really digging this one so far and I like the team a lot as well as how it's not too large. The stuff with Galactus is very cool and the meta commentary about bringing change in comics was something I enjoyed. The big problem going on is also a really awesome one for how out there it is for them to really solve.
This is only the second book I've read from Ewing but I'm really liking him thus far. The other thing I read by him was Loki: Agent of Asgard, which also dealt a lot with the concept of change and how hard it can be in comics (sort of a recurring theme since Gillen's handling of Loki). Liked the direction he took Loki in there too.
Moon Knight: I'm really digging this one so far and didn't even feel that lost despite knowing next to nothing about the character. The whole notion that none of it might be real and just in his head is an interesting one. I'm leaning to it being real but with perhaps some of it being in his head.
Also found out Ellis did a short run with the character not too long ago. Is that worth checking out?
Karnak: This was pretty cool and Karnak's ability is a pretty interesting one for how simple it sounds at first. I like that he's not a nice guy or anything at all, but that it's just sort of part of his nature with how he views the world.
The fact it's Ellis also likely means this will likely be a short run, which I can always appreciate.
Power Man and Iron Fist: This one's pretty fun I think and the banter between Danny and Luke is fun to read. The interactions with the various villains have been pretty fun to read as well.
Doctor Strange: For the most part I like this one, though some aspects to Strange seem off in some odd way. The whole thing about what food he eats was a pretty weird thing to retcon in there (I'm assuming it's a retcon), though one of the themes here seems to be about the price of using magic at all and how there is always one.
Villains are alright though not that complex. You can kind of see where he's coming from based on his backstory.
Invincible Iron Man: Only about three issues into this one, but I like it so far. Like the new armor design and him tying all the different modes into it makes for a logical upgrade. The stuff with
is pretty good too and I like the banter between them.
The reference to
was much appreciated too.
Black Panther: This one seems a bit slower thus far but you can kind of see where these different stories will intersect. BP's challenges are good ones to face and sort of show how for all its advances, Wakanda is no stranger to corruption and unfortunate measures.
Very curious to see where it all goes.
I do sort of wish some of those covers that feature action figure versions of the character were real. Like in Marvel Legends form.

I feel like there's going to be another shoe that drops that makes it so what the villain has been doing is actually a very bad thing. I mean, without magic users, who is going to defend the world from the likes of Dormammu and Shuma-gorath? Unless his weapons can take them down too.
