Both that article Nd the link are are pretty disingenuous. I expect that from Jude Terror though.
Because Star-Lord was meant to be an ongoing.

Marvel just talked about that.
I disagree, because Vision sold rather well and we all knew it was 12 issues, but eh.

They're even doing Director's Cut versions of it.
For such a highly praised book 20k ain't that high. A large majority of people see a mini series and trade wait or forget about it.
Vision didn't really sell all that well.

I forget about the existence of minis or OGNs regularly. Not sure why, but it's true that if something doesn't have a followup to keep it in mind, I'm less likely to get the trade. Unless it's someone I'm already invested in and follow in general, like I knooooow there's a HB and new Lemire OGN this week, no chance of missing those. However, like 8 months ago I thought "The Spire looks awesome" but I totally missed the release and it was really just Godshaper that reminded me again, otherwise it was gone with the wind. I'm keeping release date docs now lol
Cap is HYDRA
Spencer is trying play Hydra as not Nazis but end up doing Nazi shit.
The symbolism is too much especially in today's climate.
Another Event.
All heroes get buried by Cap

It's decent for a Vision title, I'd say, but yeah, it didn't burn up the charts.
As I said earlier, I was fine with the Hydra Cap story up until now.
The original timeline had the Nazis win, so Cap was always bad
Cap wielding Mjolnir are just dumb
I compare it to the Clone Era conciet of Peter Parker always being the clone. I loved Ben Reilly. I was completely down with him being Spider-Man. But the swerve was dumb. The instant it happened, you knew it was something they were going to reverse course on. This is the same.

Tired and fatigue ridden Marvel plot line that is essentially just a hero vs other heroes. Didn't want it and don't care, but then you ad an extra level of stupid with the Nazi stuff and it pushes a little past tired into "this is just ridiculous".

How is Spencer handling the leak?

In a catastrophic level of irony, he wants the leakers punched.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Ah, I don't mind it personally. The big stuff will be retconned and I'm enjoying the ride ATM. I will admit the reveal about
hydra having won originally
It's basically a title reign no one gives a fuck about like Randy Orton winning the belt or Misha Tate winning the belt or the Celtics being #1 in the NBA for no reason.
It will come to pass but now? People are just eh or pissed off.

pastiching Watchmen's nine-panel grid and structure in a routine superhero story that happens to feature Watchmen characters, genius
Just reread Pax Americana instead.

Hey, c'mon now. No need for that. I know emotions are a lil high right now but
For someone who hates Alan Moore, Grant Morrison does a good job emulating him for the issue even if it was to make a point

It's being a mark. Like I said, we know the end game is the end of August.
So basically we gotta suffer though the summer with this shit.
Alan Moore is a grumpy old bastard. I have loved some of his work, but I really don't care which companies screwed him over or whatever. Some of the stuff he says about other creators and artists is downright insulting.
Grant Morrison at least seems like a fairly affable dude. Probably all the drugs.

Who is
Quasar now? Was that supposed to be Phyla Vell or someone else?
who holds the Quasar mantle now.
A new character introduced during Standoff.

Not King's first outing with the 9 panel grid. It being an issue not only dealing with Watchmen characters but Watchmen themes (the thing with the hockey player, the entire countdown metaphor...) is just icing on the cake.

Might as well have put them in a vending machine and let some random five year-old have them. Not like they could have done any worse. :3
No, Marvel dictates the character be a physically fit lesbian in her late 20s.

I'm reasonably sure Wendell Vaughn isn't doing it because "fuck that noise". He said he lost control, but I know you son. You got shook.

Did you read Secret Empire #0? Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.
She jobbed to a space dragon.
I was making reference to the last Quasar being Phyla-Vell. Gotta keep the streak alive.

Ah. Now I get it.

Well, that's exactly the problem, IMO: the key difference is that Pax Americana is riffing on Watchmen for the purpose of saying something about Watchmen and its relationship with the superhero genre, which is not something I expect The Button or whatever follows from it to do more than half-assedly.

The Mjolnir page was a leaked page taken completely out of context though. Feels weird to judge it under those circumstances.
Lashley

I agree. Was saying earlier it could be a vision or a dream or anything

I haven't read the issue, but the twist will probably be that Captain Nazimerca is wielding the alt-Mjlolnir from the Evil Avengers teamed that popped up in Hickman's Time Runs Out arc.
Spencer's already pilfering elements from Hickman's past Marvel work (and he was writing Avengers World concurrently with Hickman, if I remember correctly), so it's a twist I can see happening.

It sounds like a Kirby-Esque take on Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle. I like it.
And as much shit as Didio has (justifiably) received over all these years, he can write a really fun comic. OMAC, Infinity Man and Forever People, Challengers, etc have all surprised me with how good they are.
Challangers is his only book i didnt like despite loving the premise of the. Hlanngera being a reality show.
I agree. Say what you will about his abilities as an exec, but he writes fun comics.
