Another one?

http://marvel.com/comics/series/18472/she-hulk_2014_-_present

Tom Brevort already teased already a new one.

 

[Dunbar]

Did you also read everything leading up to Infinity as well? In any case, I think only now a lot of the bigger questions are being answered and things that didn't make sense before are starting to. I think I'm really gona enjoy rereading the whole run after Secret Wars is done.

Oh, yeah, I started with Avengers #1 and New Avengers #1. Didn't make much difference in understanding anything though

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Also did they do the announcement yet.

Nope. About an hour from now.

That one is being cancelled after issue #12, unfortunately. Fun series but the sales weren't there apparently.

She-Hulk always sneaks in with those fun little runs. Marvel should really do an anthology book.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I think for issue 12 she should do the old John Byrne jump rope routine as an homage.

This is something I brought up in another thread while talking about Hickman's FF run. While his stories themselves tend to be contained within the larger arc he is writing for any given event or series, the problem for new readers is that he doesn't shy from using a lot of references and homages to the long history of whatever he is writing about while building the story. This can be very satisfying for long time fans, but can be utterly confusing for those not familiar with the elements he brings together.

I started reading Hickman's Avengers without having read his prior work (nor am I a longtime Marvel reader in general) and I didn't feel like I was missing anything. All in all, I feel it is pretty self-contained.

This She Hulk run was stopped cause some people didn't like the artist and fell even further with the current artist... while Captain marvel has been low selling yet still has a star artist and such.

They cancelled it but it's been implied they're doing a new one

 

[JCreasy]

Sorry, hella lttp.

What the hell is happening?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Sorry, hella lttp.

What the hell is happening?

They're going to make new comics with new creators.

 

[JCreasy]

Ok, cool. Thanks dude.

Whatever they do, I want Coipel involved.

 

[Mudcrab]

Marvel Comics has outsmarted all the Hollywood lawyers and will take back the film rights for X-men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-man by bringing back the Beyonder this summer.

Don't forget Namor from Universal! That must be what the Avengers #40 thing is all about!!!!

They should have had Mike Allred on She Hulk after his excellent work on her on Fraction's FF. Javier Pulido's art, particularly the horror faces, made me not buy the book.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

There's a live stream for this right?

 

[PsychBat!]

There's a live stream for this right?

Marvel says it'll be here.

 

[jackissocool]

Yeah I heard the Omnibus have his preferred order for the entire run. Wish they did that for the normal trades too. There wasn't really a point splitting the trades into two different series honestly. Future Foundation #1-11 were basically the stand-ins for Fantastic Four #589-599 anyway. After that they should have merged both into single trades. Didn't they do that for Fraction's first FF trade?

I've got volume 2 of Edmondson's run on publisher in the mail right now and that works a Black Widow issue right into the middle, since their stories are starting to overlap. It seems like Marvel is starting to do it in some instances.

 

[StoOgE]

The announcement to end all announcements.

Until the next announcement.

I mean, I'm a DC guy but we all know how this goes:

1) Crisis on Infinite Earths will fix all our problems.
new problems.
1A) Zero Hour will Fix everything!
more new problems.
2) Infinite Crisis will fix all our problems!
superboy punch
3) Final Crisis will confuse everyone!
everyone is confused
4) Blackest Night will take care of death forever in the DC universe
By resurrecting all of the major dead characters!
5) Flashpoint will change everything
Within a year writers will just pretend the pre New52 continuity happened anyway. Except in some cases where it will confusingly be totally ignored... but we brought in the Wildstar Universe, and then cancelled all of those books.

Direct YT link for convenience.

 

[E the Shaggy]

The site is shitting the bed.

 

[Gambit 1138]

I was hoping for a reboot but with Howard the Duck, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny Inhumans, and All-New All-Different Avengers launching in the next few months it can't be that unfortunately.

Thanks for the link!

I really doubt permanently killing off the Ultimate universe will cause that big of a ruckus, most of us already pretend it doesn't exist.

Sad part is you missed Genesis, Zero Hour, and a couple other continuity corrections.

How many times does the Ultimate universe need to be killed off before it takes?

Feels like the last 5 years of Ultimate comics have all revolved around trying to end that line.

As long as The Bendis wants to keep writing Ultimate Spider-Man, he's going to keep it alive through sheer force of will. They're going to have to bring Miles to 616 before they can finish the job .

What random CBS is this taking place in?

I can only say that I totally agree with you. I started reading comics late last year and I've been looking for series that would be newbie-friendly. I thought I'd be more or less safe with any series if I started with the first issue. Nope! With Avengers/New Avengers specifically, I've had to spend so much time on the Marvel wiki or asking people what is going on that it isn't worth it.

Killing the ultimate universe is like drawing an offensive picture of Prophet Mohammed.

Ultimate fans are nuts

 

[Angelus Errare]

Midtown Comics,

Is their website still ass or nah?

edit: yup.

 

[Mudcrab]

2 Manhattans

 

[The Elite]

This looks like a half-assed operation.

I can't imagine anything serious coming from this.

I ahven't seen it since the 90s, does it still look like the 1980s?

 

[Jigolo]

So a secret wars comic? Damnit i thought this was gonna be Spidey to Avengers

 

[JBourne]

did you really jack my avatar?????

Black Panther appropriation.

 

[KidGalactus]

Can somebody post updates to the thread?

 

[Purple Cheeto]

CROSS A LINE

MULTI VERSES

THUNDER DOME

BLACK PANTHER

THE ILLUMINATI

THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE

 

[Affeinvasion]

Tom Brevoort explaining the premise of Hickman's New Avengers is the nerdiest thing I've ever heard.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

I want them to bring a random ass band like U2 on stage like it's E3 or one of those weird tonedeaf CES conferences.

616 dies and the Ultimate Universe becomes the canon universe
