My brain first parsed that as "has a valiant problem"...
More recommendations -
The Eternaut
Hip Hop Family Tree - (Great read even if you are not very familiar with the genre)
The Longest Day of the Future
And of course, the first 7 books of Usagi Yojimbo.

Finished Secret Wars last night. Holy shit what a way to finally end it. Hype moment after hype moment after hype moment. Now I gotta figure out what I want to read next. Thinking Remender's X-Force run but I dunno what's all intertwined in that or if it's just a straightforward read.

I consider it pretty straightforward and self contained
One artist has two Eisners...
It's completely self contained and didn't cross over with any of the big events at the time. There's a Fear Itself tie-in issue but it isn't part for the numbered run, doesn't have anything to do with the story in the main series and wasn't written by Remender.

Then I guess I'm going with that. I should read more X-Men books anyway.
All should be interested in squirrel girl, man, woman ,child and squirrel it really is that good
First volume is:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0785197028/
Not sure if theres any hardback or omnibus that collects early volumes
Thanks dude! And extra thanks for the Amazon UK link. Yeah, that's the one I've added to my basket. Couldn't see an omnibus during my quick search.

Eisner or no, don't even pretend Henderson art holds a candle to Gurihiru. I will disown you.

No worries, I usually find a book on Amazon but then get it on there through one of the third party sellers, Wordery and Book Depository are usually the cheapest.
Think my gf would probably like squirrel girl too but its hard getting her to read anything, shes got unread first volumes of Giant Days, Miss Marvel and Wicked and Divine on her shelf collecting dust. The only thing she does read is Lumberjanes.
I really like both. It's not one or the other. It's nice that you clearly do though. Gurihuru couldn't do a book like Squirrel Girl and vice versa.
The gf has a thing for #stucky so I bought her the complete Cap Winter Soldier run. Haha. Gonna progress to the Winter Soldier solo series from there.

There's no omnibus but there are nice oversized hardcovers.
OHC 1 (Should contain the first two trades) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1302902245/
OHC 2 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/130290373X/

At the end of the day Gurihiru's art is on Gwenpool, a book that isn't doing as well with young readers as Squirrel Girl.
Hey, it's this time of the month, the time where I feel like reading comics but my faulty brain can't choose between the million of titles published each month.
I was so very close to read comics again last month. I read the first few Doom Patrol and Cave Carson and all was right in the world. Then I made a mistake and started the Champions.
What a piece of shit.
Out of curiosity is it a well liked title and it flew over my head or does it simply 'exists' like so many titles before it ?

Champions is a mixed titles among Marvel fans. Some really like the concept but feel Waid shouldn't be writing it cuz he really doesn't get young kids.
Simply exists

Gurihiru's art is cute, but I prefer Henderson's work on Squirrel Girl. And when it comes to writing, North is on another level compared to what's going on with Gwenpool. It's really not a contest there.
I'd recommend something like John Byrne's She-Hulk to fans of Squirrel Girl before something like Gwenpool anyways. It's a consistently fun series that gives off a lot of similar vibes.

I feel like you arent being fair to the writing in Gwenpool. Hastings is doing good work.
The rest I agree with.

Haven't read any Ryan North but I thought The Midas Flesh looked pretty fun, meant to get around to that
That looks amazing. Kinda what if Amélie were a costumed thief. (though waaayyy less shy)
That goes on my list

Messi, pls. You would be the kind of dad that would say he loves both his children equally.

The Kree-Skrull War is Avengers #89-97
I just can't stand people discounting Erica Henderson

Remender's Uncanny Avengers run is pretty much a follow-up to X-Force.

I think that if King doesn't have
Batman and Catwoman follow through
I was surprised by the statement that King envisions his run being around 100 issues. I never knew that.
It's decent. A bit more serious than Adventure Time or Squirrel Girl but an interesting thought experiment on and extrapolation of the Midas touch myth.
I legitimately don't understand the love for Squirrel Girls art.
I usually love cartoony or unusual art styles.
For example the art in Chew is one of my favourites of all time.
But Squirrels Girls art is stylised to the point of looking ugly to me. I am sure the skill is there, but it just doesn't click with me.

Agreed, it looks like her editor told her she had to turn in all her art by the end of the day, but she hadn't even started working on it.

Remender's run goes: Uncanny X-Force to his Uncanny Avengers and then to the event called AXIS. Axis can be hit or miss, everyone here will tell you not to go near it, but if you enjoyed where the story went in Uncanny Avengers, Axis is the ending. Its only like 6 issues and never should have been turned into an event but thats Marvel for you.
Then after all that he did a OGN called Rage of Ultron which probably would have been part of his run proper had Marvel not done Bendis's Ultron event lol.

I gave it a fair shot, as I'm not really out of the audience it's intended for, but I just wasn't a fan. I don't think there's anything wrong with me not wanting to buy more issues of something I didn't care for either.

I think someone was asking after the Vision Director's Cut OHC?

Finally lol looking forward to that
Sure and it's perfectly fine for me to disagree with your assessment.
$40 for 6 issues... They can keep it. Also nowhere does it say ohc.

It's straightforward, but like a lot of Big Two comics (especially X-Men), having knowledge and investment in the continuity helps a great deal. But otherwise it's very straightforward.
This. I was feeling the book, but as the issues have gone on, I've begun to lost interest. Not even Humberto Ramos can make Waid's writing on that book interesting.
I feel the same, but I haven't actually read the book, so it's probably better in context.

That's true. I guess I assumed based on the price.
Is the PDF already online? You can check there if its oversized.

Just 6 issues? Pass. When it comes to King I want it all in one like with Omega Men(still want an Absolute...).
