He killed all of them. The big guys. Osborn, the Red Skull; Kingpin, Etc
And then the final Incursion happened

All offscreen, right? Took place between SW #0 and Final Days of The Punisher IIRC.
Still want to know how he killed Sandman.
It was a final fuck you
Same way he killed Ghost rider and Doctor strange in Punisher kills everyone
Nope. Onscreen in the Mainseries.
It's very *sigh*. Not grabbing me, but I'll give it time.

If you watch Agents of SHEILD, you owe it to yourself to read this week's Deadpool.

You will have to find a page. Clearly remember him walking into the bar at the end of one issue and walking out of it the next.
I'm really starting to lose interest in a lot of the characters in Saga. I also feel like BKV held back in this issue for the sake of creating a jumping on point. This book being down still means it's better than most books though.
I see what you did there.

So is this week the end of a Saga arc? Same question for Gwenpool.
This week's Saga is the beginning of a new story.

Gwenpool was fakeout ending. The title still has solicits from going through August.
I think this current arc will be ending next month since in July has her back in the Marvel universe.

Yay! Thanks. I've been waiting for both Saga and Gwenpool to wrap their arcs. Want to buy their new trade collections and then start picking up the singles.
Didn't Rowell write that one YA book that caught Tumblr heat for its apparent racism? Elanor & Park, I believe. I like to think she learned from that, if so.
Sorry if i'm skeptical on what caused tumblr heat what was the criticism

Long story short, Korean fetishism, racist quotes and apparent examples of not doing research on Asian-American culture.

That doesn't sound great what with Nico and her new design.

I read through the post, and I don't know. When you cut anything into bite-size pieces devoid of context, it just makes me wonder about all of the things that their leaving out.
But I haven't read her books, maybe she sucks.
EDIT: I did a search on Tumblr, and the Kevin Wada Carry On cover is crazy pretty. He's good at art.

The next Gwenpool volume doesn't release until August!?!? Ugh. Can't wait that long. Moved the book to trade because it's a much cheaper way to read it. Goddamn $4 books. Wonder if Marvel will have another BOGO sale soon. Anyone have any idea?
And googling tells me that Saga volume 8 will not release until January?? That can't be right. I don't know how you trade-waiters do this. Trade waiting is for the birds.

It would probably be cheaper and faster to just buy the floppies after they drop in price the month after release.
Jesus Christ I have so little fiscal responsibility. So I have Flintstones volume 1 right? Loved it. Have the floppies through the current release 7-11 I think. What do I do at my LCS? Buy 1-6. Why? I don't know. The covers are so great though....
Good thing I signed ups for DCBS. Can't keep doing that. 😋

Don't feel too badly. It's people like you (and all of us, here) that keep the comic industry alive.

Sagas new arc only started today lol for $0.25 too
They need to have a timeskip and just focus on Hazel and a new cast or something. All of the other characters are played out and it might just be my memory failing me, but the overall plot seems to just be treading water. Also, the new arc is just weird conceptually.
I could understand if it was commentary on abortion laws, but she's 8 months pregnant and the baby is dead.
To add onto this:
I kinda think
the way BKV is treating the dead baby by turning it into some good/holy thing and making an adventure out of abortions in this situation is in poor taste a bit. I might just be overreacting though.

I don't think so. I love it.
I still like it but it needs to shake things up and i usually like bkv though Paper girls even if still don't get what is happening is more exciting

The red room team > Champions. Sorry Kamala.
What is Paper Girls even right now?

DC has too many damn collections I need this year.
Eh ii'm sceptical about bits out of context bits especially on tumblr but it seems to be a common criticism from quick google glance though i'm not a literary person so i'm not sure which are reputable.
Though i haven't read it i hope if true she moved away from that or there is none of that with nico

I want them all.
Thats because Waid isn't writing it but and red team is written by a young adult author (marvel) so he knows how to write kids i bet
Paper girls is something to do with time travel and apple *shrugs* i'm just enjoying the ride and hope it makes sense or i understand
I read what was online (on MTV??? it used to have a webcomics portal for some reason I think) but like early Copra the print stuff had limited print runs sold on Etsy and maybe cons so I never read that
heck yeah
BKV has always been batshit

Ever since Rebirth started, I've felt that DC has been leaps and bounds better than at least 90% of Marvel's output.
I dunno, Flash and Titans have bored me.
Then again, Teen Titans, Arrow and Batwoman run circles around Stevil.
