New Thanos OGN from Starlin in April and it's the start of a new trilogy. Yeeesss. I might also go for that giant Infinity Gauntlet boxset out in March. Better start saving now though.

That's one of the few things Marvel announced at SDCC. The Infinite Siblings, right?
I feel like I'm the only guy who read and loved trilogy he did over the last year or two, but apparently not if they are letting him do more.
EDIT: Actually it was 4 parts, not a trilogy (5 parts if you count the annual).

I liked it D:
Was nice to see Warlock, Annihilators etc again and not written like idiots. Did you check out the Thanos vs Hulk miniseries Starlin did like a year or two ago?

I mean, I guess it's not the worst concept, but I'm getting worn out by these "Captain America but evil!" or "Avengers but ________!" It's the comics equivalent of hot takes.

I'm still waiting for "Avengers but they're actually the Avengers" myself.

Iceman's Inhuman boyfriend has a pretty on-the-nose name. Romeo. Their families are having a war, and they're all star-crossed and caught up in the middle of it.

The one from when Marvel did those Future one-shots?
It's time to bring back The Retaliators:

This might seem kind of odd
but I am worried when Stan Lee passes away
their is going to be so many articles that pop up about accusing him of being a "fraud" and Kirby being the true creator of the characters that we all love
I mean I love Kirby, he is the greatest comic book figure in my opinion, but there is already that revisionism among fans who think Lee was just a businessman and had nothing to do with the marvel icons

I'm sure Stan's not too concerned about it.
Let people have their foolish revisionist history. I think most folks know that both Kirby and Lee had a hand in creating and shaping the Marvel universe as we know it. For me, personally, I don't care by how much percentages each party contributed, but it does matter to me that people get the credit that they deserve. As long as Kirby is getting some kind of recognition, I think that's great. It's not a Bill Finger/Bob Kane situation, thankfully.

100th Anniversary Avengers was fucking awesome
We all know how that story ends...
Tegan O'Neil wrote a little about Lee in a really cogent way in her (very much worth reading) essay about Marvels and a bunch of other stuff
There's a certain kind of comics reader who takes the line of "Kirby and Ditko were the auteurs and behind it all and Lee was a fraud who just put his name on everything," which I think really came into its own in the 90s when Kirby was suing Marvel but it's also reductive. He *wasn't* a businessman who contributed nothing, but it's also ahistorical to not mention how much Kirby and Ditko resented him over the undue credit they felt was given to him, especially in the early years.
e: also there will be way more articles about Smilin' Stan than there ever will be about Stan the Conman

To anyone who has been following the secret empire event, is there a reading list with the core comics to read?
im thinking along the lines of this Infinity: The Main Event Suggested Reading Order

Have we determined that the new line is successful?
The Iceman art posted there certainly isn't great. But Jean Grey's art is good, imo.
Ugh at the never-ending Marvel complaints in this thread. Mostly about stuff that hasn't even happened yet. Jeez, guys, go get some exercise or something.
Read The Wild Storm #6 today and this series is freaking awesome. The characters, the dialogue, the action, the art. Just so wow.
Also, have you guys read Generation Gone #1 yet? Because you should really read Generation Gone. Support Kot. He's an actually interesting and creative comic creator.
We are boycotting him until he ends his boycott with here. He wouldn't even tell us what his favourite anime was.
Bonus, former champion JC.

I enjoyed JC but that's not nice. I enjoy JC more when he is mean to people I don't like.

Just popping in to say Secret Weapons #2 is an amazingly well written comic.
I'm curious to see what Generation X is doing for Legacy given the name of the arc.
Runaways shouldn't be an ongoing

Southern Cross is a sci-fi comic!?!?!? WHY DID I NEVER LOOK INTO THIS!?
Also Gwenpool is quickly becoming one of my favorite books.

It's a really cool book! Need to get vol 2 actually.
It's from the recent Marvel Book Previews where they list trades. But Rowell said this was the first arc. Someone is lying or fucked up.

New Super-Man is great. That
moment at the end of #2 was fun! Kong is such an idiot but he doesn't irritate me (like early Damian).
I can now actually recommend three Rebirth titles!
Green Arrow
New Super-Man
Superman
"I am Iron Man"

See this is why I think with the right artists, Task's classic costume looks great. He looks like such a fucking G here:

anyone from here going to supercon in fort lauderdale this weekend? i can't wait!
yeah i just finished this weeks & its hard to imagine 2 more issues, like im having fun here & there but the "real" (?) red skull/shirtless steve combo story is getting old too, let's do something here
as many as my shelf can hold
i was like this myself forever, but stuff like untold tales of marvel helped - while it's not a kane/finger situation, stan did do wrong by some of his contemporaries, but he did create & the marvel/stan lee method of writing was shitty & burdened artists too much but the house of ideas woudln't be what it is without his work ethic & ridiculous editing from that era too

i know its biweekly but still...this is a perfect reason why universe-wide events need a break

Plus it hasn't been consistently biweekly. There were like 4 weeks between issues 5-6, and only one week between 6-7. It's been all over the place.
It is biweekly, but issue six was pushed back a week with the later issues staying at the same date.
Yeah that arc took a nosedive real quick and was made worse by EvS art. Between this and Venditti attempting to write the New Gods again for the next arc, that's me done with the book.
