first half of that book was sooooooo over the top and not in a good way. tempted to buy the second issue now that all the stuff I hated are mostly gone.
DnA NOVA had 4 tie in runs during the 20 ish issues.

That reminds me, I was watching Civil War for the first time the other day, and I'm wondering... other than the Avengers, who the hell do they have on the Raft? Not really anybody left standing who'd warrant that kinda treatment, other than Loki I guess.
I assume the Thunderbolts and maybe Abomination but who cares at this point.
And Loki is currently pretending to be Odin.

Who else?
Zemo was just a chessmaster, he really didn't do much physically.

I just saw all that as superficial stuff that he would realize isn't important as he started to experience more lives. The thing that stood out to me is his need to
please his father with that even being the first thing he brought up after noticing his abilities.
I'm mixed on the book because I think Morris is interesting, but the way his powers were shown kinda made it hard for me to follow early on. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if this book was canceled and he ended up getting pushed somewhere else or something.
guy from ant-man. crossbone.
I also couldn't follow along when it came to that. it was jarring. Yea it will definitely be cancelled before this time next year.
Von Strucker? they killed him off in such a shitty fashion as well. He should have been something special instead of the shit they went with in Age of Ultron.

Not to sound like an ignorant dick, but can someone explain to me why Carol is considered the Greatest and Mightiest Avenger? Or is this a Hal Jordan scenario where it's mostly tell and no show? I don't really have a lot of experience with her aside from mainly Ultimates, A-Force, and now Civil War 2, and I can safely say she has an incredibly boring personality. Save for CW2, where I actually find her interesting

Because Marvel says so.
I am waiting for CW2 to finish so Slayven can write why she ruined Marvel. but yea she brings down every book she is in. I can't see Ultimates staying together long with her on the team.
Her popularity in-universe from when she became Captain Marvel came out of nowhere lol. Her popularity in her new ongoing will be coming from how the public feels about her after CW2.
Okay, I'm confused. Reading through Gotham Academy, and I hit issue 8, having read 1-7 and the kinda meh fluff that was Gotham Academy: Endgame #1. And now all of the sudden
It feels like I missed something here, so what exactly am I missing? Or is it just a weird jump or something?
Olive's mom is dead?
I wouldn't worry about Ultimates staying together with her. I'm sure Marvel is sharpening that axe right now.

That is all a fallout of the events in Civil War 2. That's it.

They built if to contain powerful people, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have anyone. Pretty much anyone who'd they imprison is either dead or too small of a blip on the radar: Yellowjacket, Whiplash, Aldrich Killian, Strucker, Kilgrave, (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spoilers)
Hive, John Garret, Mr. Hyde, Jiaying, Lash
So it is the Hal Jordan scenario. Good to know.
Busiek/Perez Avengers gets a lot of praise. How is she in that?
Lol! I would normally boo this but if the art is going to terrible like I think it is then yea cancel it.
Where would blue marvel and spectrum go though?
The same place as X-Man.
I love the book but the art change tells me exactly how marvel feels about it.
They will likely put them on the shelf. PMIF might take Spectrum as Sanford loves her.

Conquest- Seeing Groot talk is weird. And is Mantis always this weird and flighty?

What have you collected edition guys been reading? I finished Batman by Neal Adams Omnibus today, which was tough to get through. Early 70s writing is not for me, that's for sure. I'm about done with Tales of the Batman: Alan Brennert, which was very good.
I want to start something more modern, so I may read the Superman American Alien HC now.

Ewing is better on smaller books where he controls everything imo.

Reading Vol.9 of the Tokyo Ghoul manga. Goon Library Vol.4 and the Empire of the Dead hardcover are next on my list.
Blue Marvel is the kind of guy only Ewing would look to use tbh.
From Sanfords sketch book.
Hey can you take a few pictures of the Goon Library for me, if you have a camera? Would love a few pics of the interiors.
It's still not on IST.

Yeah, I'll do it tomorrow when I've got better lighting.
Following up on this question, is it the Annual? That's the one bit I'm missing of the "first part" or whatever. And if not, do I need to grab the annual, or is it more like the Endgame issue, aka something non-essential?
Joelle Jones does an issue
I know, and it looks amazing! Can't wait to read it.
Will be buying.
Velvet is awesome too

Yes, it's how I save money for the most part.
