Green Lanterns New Guardians #34: I love me some good body horror and this one wrapped up nicely. Excited for the upcoming Lantern/New Gods event! I mean, fuck the New Gods, they're all kind of dumb as a general rule but if you're giving me a chance to root against them I'm on board.
We don't take spikes job yo. Other than that time he was banned and we had the MS paint thread
Archie Comics! |OT| September 2014. Gotta go fast...

1. Sometime after beginning of Original Sin in Avengers
Cap remembers the Illuminati and declares war on Tony. Cap is still young.
Thor loses his hammer , Cap is young and friends with Tony.
Thor has hammer but Cap is old and friends with Tony.
Marvel editors not paying attention like normal.
The real issue is events. Books have their own plotlines, then an event comes and everyone has to scramble to tie into that. However, coordinating with said event AND every other title under the sun using shared characters is next to impossible, so we get situations like you describe. If they didn't have to work around Original sin, you could just say that Avengers happened first, and Tony/Steve had a temporary ceasefire in Uncanny Avengers because a Celestial was trying to destroy the world. End of story.

When was the last big or any real meaningful update to the older series on Marvel Unlimited? Main reason I got it was to catch up on all the old stuff but there is so many huge gaps in the series or stuff that hasn't been uploaded at all. Seems like every week it's nothing but Marvel Now titles being posted up anymore 
I think so. Let's try it out. Send me a book or two so we can see if it works.
Send him some Nocenti classics. I recommend the Death of the family Catwoman issues and the 0 issue

Someone's getting gifted a Klarion subscription.

I've noticed for a while now Captain America seems to be the furthest book ahead timeline wise
(probably because if given the choice all the other marvel writers would probably take using young cap for as long as possible)

But it doesn't matter, does it?
Saying that though, I have been finding Uncanny Avengers the hardest to fit into some kind of coherent universe, especially when stacked up against Hickman's stories. Both Hickman and Remender's work seems to render the other irrelevant, tbh I think it was a mistake of Marvel to have two such massive stories running at the same time with the same casts.
But then again, it REALLY doesn't matter does it? It's all just stories. If you read one of them in ten years' time (lol, like any of us have time for re-reads), you will only be thinking about that story, not so much the larger universe.

Holy shit seriously. Couldn't even finish it. And I was super hyped for it.
Super shit :/
The entire time reading the book I felt as if it would have been even better in the hands of a mangaka. Loved the art though.

Like, what about it? The art was gorgeous and the writing could, at worst, be considered serviceable. So "shit" seems a little hyperbolic.

I couldn't even finish it either, breh. The dialog was like a combination of insincere soap opera and poorly translated subtitles. And some bizarre plot developments like the ninja chick and the strawberry milk. The characters are generic, boring fetish objects. Even the lettering choices are a disaster.
Just fuckin' awful, which is too bad cuz the art was good.

Girl goes to Japan to live with her Mother. Discovers crazy supernatural shit exists / is happening. Considers this "bizarre" plot development.
Reads and understands Grant Morrison shit. Considers this perfectly logical.
Edit: Fetish objects? What the fuck am I reading?

How is The Sixth Gun?
And I have Doom Patrol withdrawal symptoms. Are the other runs any good? (Arnold Drake and Rachel Pollack).

Nope
I tried reading some of the follow on arc (I got the issues when I bought the Moz run, all in a big box, best £30 I ever spent) and it was terrible. Doom Patrol was a creator owned series by Grant Morrison and Richard Case, everything else is hallucination caused by grief.Freezasaurus

Messi is lying. It's the furries that sold him.
Move over to Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, different thing yeah..
I just read Avengers Disassembled and I don't get the reading order. From here:
http://www.comicbookherald.com/the-complete-marvel-reading-order-guide/guide-part-2-disassembled/
None of the runs seem to tie in, everyone is in all different places doing different things at the same time. Spiderman is a massive spider in one issue then normal in the next, Tonys outburst at the UN is never really explained apart from 'Wanda. Magic.'
In hindsight I think I may have enjoyed it more if I read them as blocks like Thor 80-85 and Iron Man: Disassembled 84-89 instead of going back and forth between them all.
Is this a particularly bad arc or did I just not really get it?
