That's why he's gonna kill MJ. She's going to loom over every relationship Peter will ever have so long as she is around. He kind of has to kill her. Aunt May can just stay married in Boston, she's already been put on the bus.

Spider-Man kills Doc Ock, cries about great power and responsibility, lets Alpha take over as Spider-Man, gets together with his true love Mary-Jane because he's not Spidey anymore.

Real talk Spidey is the best comic character ever. He can do it all, from skunking through sewers to surfing cosmic rays. He can do super goofy or deathly serious. And everybody plays straightman to him.

Not really. Carol is OK for a C/B-lister. WW is infinitely more interesting than perfectly fine but not that exciting Ms. Marvel. That new costume is corny as hell though. Almost as bad as some of the Jim Lee new 52 redesigns.

Spidey had Deadpool freaking out, granted it was during one of DP's more saner periods. When him and Cable were life partners. But during the Hit Monkey Saga they did have a good back and forth.

Finished Hawkeye #1 (read it on my phone) and it was damn good. Aja's artwork is such a great fit, especially with the muted color palette that's being used. Can't wait for the next issue.

Oh and Hawkeye throws cards and coins better than Gambit in this issue. :P

Tracksuit mafia bros were strangely the funniest part for me, aside from the kicking of the wheelchair into oncoming traffic.

Also Clint's observation of a hot summer's day in New York, spot on.

Gambit can go suck a dick. He was a Gary Stu to begin with. Claremount created him to be himself in comics. Liu is the only other writer who can write Gambit. That tells you something is up.

Oh, I never liked Gambit or Logan or Cyke. I thought Gambit was an idiot growing up, Scott a wimp and Logan a douche.

Storm, Havok, Rogue, Kitty, Colossus, Kurt were the ones I liked.

Lets be honest if Claremount did that, he would be whipped by one of the X-Woman atleast once an issue.

True. Maybe. But the fact that ONLY one other writer since himself can write Gambit kinda makes you go why can't any of these A star writers write him? Carey couldn't, Gillen couldn't... Just really interesting.

Got these while on my trip to Vegas. Umbrella Academy was recommended to me by a local comic book store employee. Black Widow was on sale, so I just bought it blind and I heard some good things of Demon Knights. Any opinions on these?

Umbrella Academy is one of the best comics of all time. I was just as surprised as anyone else, but Gerard Way is up there with Grant Morrison when it comes to imaginative and emotive comics.

Big Score for the Umbrella Academy trades. Enjoy the comics created by the lead singer of My Chemical Romance.

I borrowed the first Umbrella Academy volume from a friend and really enjoyed it. I need to read the second one some day, and/or buy both of them. I wonder if that third volume will ever actually happen.
