I'm a big fan of The Black Mirror, so it's no issue for me. Big fan of that Bloom issue too actually, forgot about that for a moment.
Plus I'm gonna be honest, anything would be a step up for me from JRJR, and I've not even read the book yet lol

Good. Black Mirror was the shit. I hope it's better than this current arc. The road trip thing is cool but outside of the old batman tv series I'm not a big fan of this campy and colorful look they're throwing around. And the art is terrible too half the time.
Give me that gothic horror batman snyder/jock plz.
This sums up everything wrong with Carol and how they have tried to push her. Sweet baby jesus I don't think I've read a worse solicit in my life. The Greatest? Yas Queen? Earth's mightiest and favourite hero? People have been joking about a Secret Invasion 2 but I think we have some solid evidence here that points in that direction. I find it hard to believe that after Civil War 2 this is how she ends up.
In happier news this cover is my everything

I'd go in with reservations. To be honest, I think the art is a huge hit or miss. When it works, it's great but when it doesn't... it really doesn't. The action scenes in particular are the stuff that suffers the most from the art. They are just... not good.
Actual plotting wise, I like what's going on in the book. But the big problem is how the story is being told rather then the actual story itself.
Based on interviews with the writer it seems like she will in fact struggle after CW2, though this solicitation doesn't mention it.
Bucky has been in the shitter ever since Bru left. The Kot stuff wasn't very good and Thunderbolts isn't that decent even as a throwback to the nineties. He's one of my favourite characters along with Natasha so even if he's only in the book for two issues it should be great. Black Widow has been fantastic so far, Samnee is on a different level.
I'd hope so. I want to like her as a character but her books since taking the Captain Marvel mantle have mediocre at best.

Hahah I don't really know what they were thinking. I mean, I guess I do, the sale figures have been fantastic, JRJR is still a name for a lot of people, but just fucking eh with him now. I don't know if he got worse though, or if his style has just totally went out or whatever. I'm not sure what I liked as a kid, I just know I did like him.
So true man. Did you read the Latour volume? That's basically his depression afterwards, I really liked that arc. But yea, what the fuck, especially when he's such a star in the movies. Really excited for the book to hit trade, I think it'll be a real marvel highlight for me alongside Vision & Aaron's books. I hope he's in it for longer though, I'd like to hope Black Widow's book basically becomes his home as a support character until they want to do a formal duo book or give him his own or whatever. Thunderbolts is a no though.
haha glad I'm not the only one. I thought we'd be getting something similar to what happened to Tony after the first Civil War when Fraction basically built him back from the ground up after being such a shit stain but no such luck. She'll be President of America before her next Captain Marvel relaunch.
Wasn't Tony sitting pretty after CW? What they are doing is having the civilians love Carol while the heroes hate her.
Sure, but not for long and not without scrutiny from every side.
This is it.
I forgot that Worlds Most Wanted was the second arc. Fractions run didn't just erase all the shit from Tony's mind it even did the same for me. Invincible Iron Man was so good.
I edited my post while you were typing lol.

What "solid evidence"? What are you all talking about?
I actually haven't read the last arc, I stopped when Brubaker left. I do have it though so if you say it's good I'll have to give it a read. Might be a good time to go through the whole run actually. It would be cool if he was in it for a bit longer but on the flip side I don't really mind because they are doing such a great job with Natasha I'm happy just going along with her. I think you'll enjoy it, the book is a visual treat.
Damn talking spoilers here but
sorry it was a joke
I don't have time for Hickman, I have to get through all these civil war 2 tie-ins.

Remember, the in-universe sentiment is pre-crime is good and Hawkeye killing Banner was great. Both of those ideas are laid at Carol's feet.
The solicits seem to point to a Carol who is publicly loved, but privately and personally in shambles.
Also this relationship
between Miles and Spider-Gwen
You hating on my boy Miles??
Not a weird feeling, it is something they are thinking these plots will become. Joe Q admitted that back when CW2 was announced.
It's out of nowhere
It's a shame, because it makes me feel like the well has run dry. There isn't a whole lot that excites me anymore.
Stories by committee, heavy editorial presence, it's really kinda lame.
Wait till Monsters unleashed to pull you back in,
Admittingly, what else do they have? Secret Wars 1? Secret Invasion? Siege? Assualt on Avengers Mansion?
Problem is while I can buy Monsters Unleashed. the recent events are...meh. And no one is gonna do Nova so Annihilation is out of the window.

I love Miles. I like Alt-Gwen. I'm just not seeing the connection. They have to sell me on it. The idea of Miles/Kamala or Miles/Bombshell feels better.
Standoff would be cool.
What network do you think will get that TV show?
With the 4 villains they have in the MCU?

The things I enjoy most from Marvel are the self-contained books that don't tie into whatever event Marvel is pushing this quarter. It's not just about needing to read five books to keep up with an event. The Marvel Universe is constantly in peril. It's okay to have a big event once every year or two, but they've just been jumping from one to the next for some time now.
I read and enjoy the self contained titles. The others are legit hard passes.
I was thinking more for one of the animated series lol.
I feel like that crossover was going to happen at some point and it makes sense to do it now.
lol do not read Mosaic.
The Weather Channel
I knew it was probably going to happen, but that solicit just rubs me the wrong way.

Yeah...it would be pretty damn hard to pull that off as written, though to be fair they don't stick too close to the books for any of the adapted stories. You'd really only need a couple super villains in a mix of normal criminals deemed too dangerous, really.
I actually liked Morris as a character lol.
