It's an incredibly strange ending for sure, and while it isn't the best book I've read, I still really enjoyed it. Although Pym was especially mopey

Not all of them. The intention was to have a bunch of fun side stories to actually reflect the state of the MU. I made a list of all the tie-in stuff that has come into ANAD earlier, but I'll just do it again:
-A-Force, Old Man Logan, X-Men '92, and Renew Your Vows all are/have gotten ongoings/minis.
-Old Man Logan was explicitly to tell how he got from his timeline to current 616.
-Thors showed Ultimate Mjolnir making it in to 616
-Attilan Rising actually set up for the current Inhumans situation, with Medusa as queen and Black Bolt having his own set-up with the Quiet Room
-Siege obviously had Thanos making his play for the Shield and convincing Ben to rebel in the main story
That's the ones I remember and only from the ones I read.
My friend read it, and he really likes Poison Ivy, but he thought it wasn't good. Not terrible, but definitely not good.

I can't believe 3D Cowboy killed Charles Soule!
I had just came off from Avengers A.I and was all "huh...you're doing this?" it just didn't feel natural to where Hank was and even then on the whole I didn't enjoy the writing too much. Maybe I should read it again see how I feel about it now.
I thought they might do something interesting with PymTron in Avengers but it just turned to the most obvious route. I think this whole thing should have been a bigger deal than it was, missed opportunity.
trades don't seem to come out very often, and i'll forget everything if i read it over years

It probably would have had Remender stayed at Marvel.

Inferno Madelyne Pryor
-Red Wolf
-Captain America 2099
-Ultimate End had like one page worth reading for story purposes
I get what they mean though lol.
I'm ready for the Overwatch sequel.
Imagine a new Ultron event that doesn't suck.
I think a lot of them were fun stories and that's all I am looking for.

It's hard to say it's pointless when things actually come of it. The ultimate intent was for fun stories, which is what most, if not all, the ones I read were.
The only Ultron-related story I recall ever reading before RoU involved the Avengers crew going back in time and fighting Jocasta. Cap had his energy shield that could also turn into a staff, and Tigra was also part of the team.
By pointless I think they mean the books didn't directly tie into what the 616 characters were doing, though it was already mentioned that it was done like that for a reason, and you could argue in favor of books other than Siege in that regard.

Two big thumbs up for Power Man and Iron Fist #1. What a fun book.

Apparently she had one issue that was some sort of analogy of her encounter with Eddie Berganza.

Even then, some of them did. Thors also did, as it had the process of Jane causing the uprising, which we don't get to really see in the main book.

Alright, I'm convinced. I'll buy the first few issues with my weekly haul tomorrow and see how it goes.

I might get the Sanford Greene variant if it doesn't cost extra.

That's a mighty strong declaration there, friend. Also, it's only your favorite ongoing until Marvel decides to cancel.

Better question - Is any Cyborg any good?
Well it's not an ongoing then lol.
Yes. Wish DC would have let him have creative control.

Much like his Hispanic heritage, his faith in Catholicism was never explored until this comic.
Went through and tried to sort/catalog all of the blank covers I've accumulated over the past few years. Feel like I have a few more stashed somewhere. Think I'm missing some of the GI Joe's with the retro cover and Finch Wonder Woman that got super cheap. I know there's a few of those Harley gallery variants around here too.

God damn. Do you actually get sketches on these or do you just collect the covers
I get sketches on them depending on the artist...some people don't like working on them due to the paper used on some of them...some just prefer their own paper.
Dynamite's covers are the worst and I wouldn't subject anybody to using them. Waxy glossy bullshit that fights pencils pens and markers. Marvel's have gotten much better from around AvX forward.

Damian is the son Bruce always wanted, while Dick is the son he never wanted.

Jesus.....at least it didn't say anything about grappling tanks up building to press switches.
OVerall, or just in terms of Marvel? Did you not read the lazarus spoilers? xD
Overall. Lazarus is a book I still need to give a try.

Wow, that's a pretty tall order man. I had it down to check out from the positive impressions anyway, but now you got me even more interested. Haven't read anything by Walker before.
This is just my personal opinion and I don't want people going into the book expecting Saga or something lol. You should definitely check it out though.

Haha, yea, fair enough. Also - BUSTED. I went to use our HANDY DANDY list of QUESTIONNAIRES from last month for a little more context on what you read man, and guess what - you didn't do it!!! You get to fight deathstroke in a climactic tank battle for this.
there's nothing climactic about fighting fucking tanks

It's really hard for me to write up my favorite series. I like PM&IF because:
-The dynamic between Luke and Danny is great
-The bok can be funny at times
-The story is good and can tell serious stories, while still being fun
-I'm a big fan of the art
-Cool cameos from old characters

Sandfox likes the X-Books. Especially Uncanny X-Men because he's a huge Greg Land fan.
Quite a few people actually seem to consider that book to be some of the best work of career lol.
