I get why they did that but it's so tone deaf and is obvious how people will react to that. Marvel should fire it's marketing team

Didn't read it myself, but I've seen some people saying it's actually very good.
Messing up with the essential of Captain America is worrisome though. HOWEVER, I think Marvel writers will find a way to twist this sooner or later. I really doubt they would want to pemanently destroy Steve's image, given how important the chracters is.
Edit:
But there's that. So who knows! lmao
Maybe Marvel staff is going crazy.

It's like Marvel can literally not make a decision unless it's the worst possible one available.

evidently, DC is much more effective at doing shitty stunts that disrespect their most beloved IP
If #0 and #1 bombs, yeah, you need to build that goodwill again because while it is 3 tweets, I get the feeling the majority is like fuck this.
The thing is, I like when a face turns heel but I haven't picked up Empire because CW2 burned me bad.

In the sense that the story is good and doesn't carry a heady mix of terrible real-world implications, yeah.

How so? There's no way this story isn't going to end up with all of being erased. It literally started with a cosmic cube. It will have no ramifications on any of these characters. Pretend it doesn't exist because seven months from now it will be like it never did.
There are so many other, wildly more satisfying comics to enjoy.

You're half right, at least!

2017 it's the year mega corporations are competing over which one fucks up worse.

ALSO, I'm on record for being like horrifically offended by Civil War II: The Oath so don't play that I'm taking this sort of thing lightly.
It's just, the horse is out of the barn. Enjoy it for the Acuna art (which is perfect) or just read good comics instead.

I mean, like, best case scenario, sure. But in the mean time it's SUPER FUCKED UP in a bunch of ways, so maybe let people be angry about that?
P. sure I'm whole right, friend.

What's the art schedule for the next issues? It was a new artist on each, right?

Hey, go ahead. I'm not stopping them.
But if you can only expend a certain number of words each day (and you can, it's simple math), wouldn't you rather spend them in promotion of something worthwhile and not pointing out the obvious shortcomings of a creative enterprise that can not and will not be changed and will mean absolutely nothing this time next year?
Unless we're talking about X-Men Gold and it's being reviewed by a writer of such elephantine brilliance that those words simply must be expended and shared with the world.
BenjaminBirdie
Banned
It's #0, so Acuna would be out anyway. That's usually how these things work at least.
It's better than Gold even ignoring the racist elephant

Putting "upset" in quotes and alleging that anybody angry about it must not have read a comic does sorta seem like you're telling people that they have no right to be "upset" tho.

Pointing out that other people may not want to spend $50+ on something that will mean absolutely nothing in a year seems a worthwhile enterprise.
X-men gold was only the beginning

Yeah the bolded is mine now. It's too good.
I didn't always go on fanboy rants about comic books when talking to friends. Usually I go on self indlugent dissuasion when comics come up. But I was talking to a coworker who's really on the edgy type who loves grim dark shit, and when talking about comics he said in his opinion D.C. Comics should always be dark. When he uttered that something in side me broke and I went on a big ass rant about how that's only Zack Snyder and the comics D.C. Has always been pretty light hearted till the 2000s, at least in comparison to marvel.
whats a good non brubaker Captain America run. I was thinking of reading the roger stern stuff.

Thanks for the thoughts on Godshaper. The Spire is very similar in the world building aspects and not everything about how things work is revealed immediately, but I did find in that book there was a really clear emotional through line with the characters that kept everything in focus and compelling from the start, while Spurrier weaved the weird world in and out issue to issue, not to mention the plot he holds back intentionally. So I'm not surprised what Godshaper maybe kicks off similarly, if this is a fair comparison?
That Bandette page did look hilarious haha

Secret Empire #0 was pretty great. The Avengers are really being put on their heels in this one. The controversy over the book is hilarious to me. Its as if there haven't been a million mind-controlled hero turns into a villain stories before. Fucking marks.

Something about the art and first part in the plane really bothered me and I haven't even made it all the way through it I don't think.

DC has been both very dark and light. They've been a healthy combo of both. I would have just ignored the dude. I rarely bring up comics at work and if I do it's for just a short sentence of "oh well this happened once" and that's it.
People at my job don't share my hobbies.
The difference is that Cap isn't mind-controlled. He IS a Hydra agent. Universal continuity has been rewritten.
I honestly enjoyed most of Remender's. The first half is pulpy scifi and it works really well.
Wasp cancellation incoming then, I take it.

I think Star Lord is a harder sell to the Scholastic crowd but it doesn't explain Nova.

Young Boy comics are maybe hard to sell to them? Can't recall if Miles-Man is sold with them.
There's quite a few people who share my hobbies at my job. He doesn't have many friends at work and he's cool enough just very socially awkward. He does make me give him the side eye every so often complaining about femnazis and sjws tuning his comics, games and anime.
He also said he didn't stop being a fan of Hulk Hogan for the Racism, but instead because he screwed up TNA. Midnight you were both black and me and a another co worker just stared for a second.
Suppose it's easier to go to a con and do $1000 single character commissions

"For every copy of Star Lord vol 1, Chip will pack in a volume of Kaptara"
Something about minis not selling well someone mentioned on the thread so they don't announce it.

No i mean that will be peoples reaction to Kaptara
JRJR got mixed feeling from me since the interview yesterday. And I usually cape for him, but what he said about diversity and saying "transgenders" left a bad taste in my mouth. Especially after fucking Didio and Capullo had some tactful and honest answers to diversity and representation in comics.
