But what if you are? What if this is Earth 2 where Wytches was a critcal failure for Snyder?
Nope, I loved it.

Blue Beetle is horrible. I mean, the art is okay. And that's the only positive thing I can say about it. The dialogue is incessant and it's all terrible. I'll straight up read the Green Lanterns intro page over this.

I am now up to speed with Civil War, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, and Captain Marvel.
In the span of one event, Carol has lost her:
Lover
Best friend
Protege
and currently in the process of losing Alpha Flight
if she doesn't somehow become the "victor" in all of this...Jesus Christ.
@how much that convo with Magneto in the latest Captain Marvel was in poor taste

Just finished Deadman: Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love #1. Liked it a lot. It's a nice 50-page issue, too. No wonder it was $4.

I blame Marvel. She was a decent character before they decided to turn her into Queen Bitch.

In WWE logic, she's John Cena.

What kind of game is it if we have to wait like, six months to get the answers? Do we feature them in the March 2017 OT?
Dude, people in Vegas already betted on the Patriots to make the Super Bowl already.
Only because the line relaunched with a lot of safe titles. Basically Rebirth. Oh, you mean Marvel Shattered Dreams.
I'm happy with the first week. We'll see what happens though.

Slow your roll there GP, it is week one man
Next week is GLA, Mosaic and Green Gunman. I'm trying all of them but they could easily all be terrible.

Seems like Marvel Now is a success/that their week 1 books are very good?
I dunno, I still need to read Jessica Jones and it sounds like that's one of the better ones but overall kind of mixed for me? Death of X was kinda bad, Cage was cringe, Champions was reasonably good but not out of this world or anything.
Room for improvement. Gonna read JJ now I think.
I'm expecting the latter two to be good and I remember Dan Slott saying that the new GLA book is legit.
I read Champions, Jessica Jones, Doctor Strange, and Mercs for Money with all of them being good in my eyes.Seems like Marvel Now is a success/that their week 1 books are very good?

How easy would it be to jump into Mercs with the new team? The old one is dullsville but I dig the new lineup
It would be very easy to jump on and everything you need to know is in this issue.

It's a good trade off for them since I don't buy issues anyway.

No takers </3 I didn't expect so though, I think literally everyone has read those issues. I'll keep the code in my back pocket. Someone at some point will come along interested in reading them, and I'll be waiting to pounce. Or maybe it's the hands...
Nah, I liked it too man. A good bit in fact, a problematic Snyder book is still a well constructed story with something to say imo. I do remember there were a few things that bugged me, but honestly it's been a good while, and the details escape me. I think I enjoyed it, but thought it ended up feeling a little crushed or a little poorly paced? I'm not sure.
Also, I ended up skipping a bunch of games because Dragon Quest VII took much lnoger than expected. And I actually haven't finished Deus Ex yet....but Recore, Forza, Gears, should I buy these?
I'm rewatching Independence Day 2, I beat you!
I haven't seen that yet, I expect good things.

Ahem, the buddy movie with Dennis Quiad the washed up dragonslayer and Sean Connery the washed up dragon, that Dragonheart?
That is a delightful film.

CWII: X-Men is the worst Marvel book since Hyperion

The solicits for
Mighty Captain Marvel #1 point to Carol winning, but having to struggle with all the shit she did to get there.

This sounds pretty much like civil war 1 right, except the shoe is on the other foot this time. Which is a pretty decent idea for what was probably the premise in the writer's room. People just don't seem to be digging it that way.

Re-reading Whedon's Astonishing and I have a question:
the flashback with Emma talking to Cassandra Nova about a plan: did that actually happen? Later on they say that Nova latched on to Emma the moment she was killed at the Xavier Mansion, so that would've been AFTER Genosha. Plus, Nova refers to triggering Emma's secondary mutation to survive Genosha. However Scott mentions that Nova has actually been using Emma's guilt to control her. So is Nova just convincing Emma that she's responsible for the secondary mutation, or is she actually responsible? Or am I misremembering the first arc of New X-Men entirely?
It was terrible. Only good things it did was remember that Rachel Grey and Dewoz exist.

Amazing Spider-Man was brutal this week, I feel like we hardly ever see
so emotionally vulnerable, but when it does happens it cuts deep to some realities a lot of people have to deal with. It seems like Slott can get serious when he needs to, haven't had an issue like this since No One Dies. Hopefully he's able to keep the quality up.

I know Clone Conspiracy is coming up that could potentially make everything in this issue not really matter, but this was some classic Spider-Man writing in this issue.
