I don't trust comic reviews unless BenjaminBirdie is the author.

This is hilariously absurd. When is the Clone Saga getting announced?

 

[Tyrant Rave]

When is Age of Apocalypse?

Yuck.

 

[tringworldso]

Does Marvel not know that we have FanFiction.net for such things...

 

[GAMEPROFF]

When is Age of Apocalypse?

I dont think that we will see Age of Apocalypse in this Secret Wars Thingy since its a more established Universe.

Old man logan? Gross

I can't get my comics until Friday. Someone read Harley Quinn and tell me it's awesome.

 

[8bit]

Just finished reading the X-Statix Omni (minus the dead girl solo stuff in the back). I enjoyed it, but something happened maybe halfway through the X-Statix run. The tone changed a bit. It started to feel detached, I suppose? I think it was when Henrietta showed up, it felt like it became solely a vehicle for satire, the characters didn't feel quite as human as they did before. I'll have to go back and re-read it, but something felt different about halfway through the X-Statix run. I also took a break from reading it right before this point, maybe that could be affecting how I view it, but I don't think so. It was still very enjoyable, but it no longer seemed all that concerned with the characters and instead just wanted to tell some funny satirical stories. Anyone else feel this way?

Henrietta was originally supposed to be a resurrected Princess Diana, this didn't go down well with the press and probably killed Milligan's momentum/interest on the book.

One of the central tenants we tend to push here in comicgaf - some of us, we're hardly a hivemind - is that, at the end of the day, any comic can be picked up and enjoyed free of context, and I like to poke and prod at that now and then. I love virtually everything Hickman is doing in the Marvel universe, but I think there are some flaws in this "you must read twenty issues to understand this" approach that are worth examining.

Honestly, with my short time in the comics world, I gotta say a good 90 percent of all the comics I've read can't be picked up and read with no context, unless you're starting with a first issue for a new ip.

So guys I've managed to get a new tablet so I can get back in to my comics I'm up to date on my image stuff (Chew, Saga, Sex Criminals etc) but I need to get back in to marvel. Is it worth picking up the new Defenders Of The Universe stuff or is it a poorly written lame cash in due to the movies? Also is it worth getting up to date on X-Men? I enjoyed a lot of the Wolverine and the X-Men stuff.

I'm sorry if these questions get asked almost every week, I had a quick flick back and couldn't see anything.

 

[slightconfuse]

I love old man Logan so much. It's like marvels version all star batman .

So ridiculous

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Defenders of the Universe? Are you talking about Hickmanns Avengers and New Avengers?

I havent read them personally, but the word is, that booth series are great.

Guardians 3000 and Rocket Raccoon are good books.

Deadpool continues to be great

This cover looks the closest to the original story out of the covers released.

Nah. This is just teasing some Marvel "look how fucked up our multiverse is!" event.

Hey is that a new artist? I hated the recent art in Deadpool so much that I dropped the book.

Guardians stuff? Read the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning series.

Avoid the current Bendis' written Guardians series like the plague. Sam Humphries Legendary Star-Lord too.

Rocket Raccoon, Guardians 3000, Nova and Silver Surfer are all pretty good as far as current Marvel Cosmic goes.

 

[Messi]

I've really enjoyed Legendary Star Lord. For what it's worth. Didn't like Guardians 3000 at all. I guess it was pretty to look at.

 

[fertygo]

I also very unimpressed with Guardian 3k

Btw back to new comic, LOL @ Hickman's curveball in Avengers 37.

 

[KoruptData]

Holy shit! Catwoman is a book of the month contender! Who the hell is this Valentine woman coming out of nowhere and writing such smart dialog. What a great start!

It's Mike Hawtorne. He's been a semi-regular artist on the book.

[Zombine]

Holy crap that Harley #11 variant cover.

My mind is telling me no, but my body is telling me yeah.

Embrace the love of Pee Gee. It's OK to love again.

The werewolf variant is terrible tho

Oh the Amanda Conner variant of Harley wearing Pee Gees outfit is adorable. But it's like 1-25 no?

This one

 

[echoshifting]

Wow, am I actually thinking about picking up Catwoman? Wowwwwww

If I have no interest in Batman Eternal, I can skip the preview issue that pops up in the middle of Zero Year right? #28 if I'm not mistaken?

Anybody bite the bullet on Axis Hobgoblin yet?

 

[Kikarian]
