Hmm well I have seen it as acclaimed good as anything marvel has put out there but to say it's the most important book Marvel has put out is tenuous at best, my dude.
Unless a whole generation of comics creators alters their approach to making comics based on how Vision was written, drawn and colored, then Vision won't go beyond 'really good book you should read' which is fine. 'Closest thing to Watchmen' is a thing that should be retired imo the comics medium is past that.
It's definitely on my list, just waiting for a good collection. I hate Marvel's tpbs. They're super thin and pricy

It's really good man, I'd check it out. I can't really say how impactful it'll be for you or the medium beyond that, but it is fantastic and I can pick no holes in it.

If nothing else you'll dig Walta's line art and Bellaire's colors.
I just noticed while writing a post in the MCU Thread how much I miss good Spider-Man gang wars arcs. I love them in Batman and I always loved them in Spider-Man and I cant recall anyone writing something like this in the last few years. There are so great foes like Silvermane or Kingpin who can be centered around something like this.
Parker Industries needs to go ASAP
It restrains so much I love about Spider-Man I hope Spectacular is really good old Streetlevel Spidey.
And I am really sorry that I bring this up so often, but its been such a long time since I picked up a regular issue of a Spider-Man ongoing and just enjoyed the heck out of it :/

why would you say this?
especially given that the celestial TOAA is part of the storyline, that would make things very confusing.

I enjoyed their work together on Magneto when Bunn was writing it. That was what initially drew me to the title. I think Bellaire works really well with guys who use greyscale washes like Walta. This is probably why she's dating Declan Shalvey.
Engaged, actually. If not, married.

I kind of got the impression that the individual at the end of the epilogue WAS

yeah, but wasnt this from the villains perspective? I want Parker stuff.
I mean its funny how they made Peter exactly into Stark 2.0, he is even funding the Avengers, but I really not enjoy seeing him flying into space with his private spaceship with shitty jokes about his Spotify Playlist and his Spider-Car. Also I dont see how they bring the character into a more familiar setting after this, there is no way he will ever back, shooting photos and trying to get his rent in time while beeing busy beeing right on time for a date with MJ.
And yes, this is stuff has been done for 50 years and most likely only I want to see this again but I am starving for more familarity.

Anyone planning on picking up the new Iron Fist book? Spotted a couple of good reviews, but I was interested in the thread's thoughts.

well...that sort of thing, doing freelance photos for the bugle and all is kind of a 70s occupation. How do you even make it plausible in 2017?
Spidey will eventually go back to basics and parker industries is absolutely on borrowed time, but I don't see everything resetting back to Spiderman circa 1984. Just not happening.
If Hela is playing that role with Thanos, who the hell is that with Thane in the Thanos book?
Maybe Death was jealous of Thanos new squeeze
Death was teased years ago. I really dont think they will skip out of this.
He can work again at the Bugle website. He doesnt need to freelance again. Or make him a teacher again, I mean, which university wouldnt take a successful scientist as a tutor? Something along this line, I just want everything to be more grounded again.

-Anti-Man calls it "the one who is one" and says it's taking everything back into it
-The Rodstvow aberration says that it has been waiting "numberless aeons" for this moment
-The One Above All is one of the only entities that would have authority over Order and Chaos. Logos is taking orders from whatever this is
-The entity talks about absorbing Eternity. TOAA is one of the only entities above Eternity in the cosmic hierarchy
-This entity pre-dates the concept of multiverses entirely, which makes for a very short list of candidates
-Finally, it says "We will return to a saner time. When there was but one cosmos. One universe. One reality. One totality. When there was only I." If this is a credible statement, what else could it even possibly be?
-On the last page it refers to itself as the "first firmament"

none of that makes sense in the context of TOAA.
TOAA was who the Tribunal answered to. Why would TOAA have order and chaos kill off it's own agent? As for "answering to", Order and Chaos did what they did, because they were uncomfortable with the way things were progressing with Universe 8 and wanted to regress back to way things were under Universe 7. Note that Tribunal was PERFECTLY FINE with Universe 8, despite who he answers to and where his authority came from. O&C were manipulated into an ill-advised fusion that resulted in a powerful yet extremely unstable and myopic entity in LOGOS. It's taking orders, but only because it's easily manipulated at this point. There are hints that it's not as powerful as it thinks it is- it doesn't even seem to be aware that it was being influenced at all until it was too late and entirely corrupt.
There are MANY things shown to be more powerful than Eternity is- cubes, gauntlets, beyonders..even the Ancient One wrestled eternity into submission back in the day. Heirarchy has nothing to do with why Eternity was chained- if it was a heirarchy issue then all TOAA would have to do to get Eternity to back down is Say So, as Tribunal did during the Infinity Gauntlet Saga. Literally a wave of the hand and "I outrank you" and Eternity is put in his place. This isn't the case here.
TOAA also had no issue with the multiverse of universe 7, as TOAA was presumably it's creator. Whatever this is HATES multiverses and wants one singular reality. this wasn't the case in Universe 7 at all- and presumably not 6, 5, etc.
There's no need to wait "numberless Aeons" for TOAA to show up, because it was already around in Universe 7, roaming freely and doing whatever it wanted. It simply chose not to show up and act primarily through the Tribunal.
The entity does predate the concept of multiverses, but this is not a short list. Marvel flat out invented a vastly powerful survivor of Universe 6 immediately after Secret Wars that no one had ever heard of. You could also toss in any number of Eldritch Gods or Many Angled Ones i.e. Shuma Gorath into boats like this.
It's not TOAA, that doesn't make any sense at all. It will probably be a new creation, much like the NeverQueen came out of nowhere as a vastly powerful peer of eternity no one had ever heard of during Silver Surfer and is now front and center during Ultimates.

Ed is just playing coy. He reads the Weekly Cute Colorists Report, so he knew that. Last week's cover was the hunky Fairbairn.
Wasn't the phrase used on the cover "hunkalicious"?
I thought he was done with comicbooks for the moment?

Hard to really say. Seems like some comics today could be a kicking off point that leads to things that leads to other things, but it just depends on how many things there will be until it actually gets to the point.

Johns isn't writing except for his upcoming DC x Watchmen thing but he's pretty clearly influencing the current creative direction.
Superman Reborn touched on it a little bit. The big stuff starts next month in Batman #21 and Flash #21.

Yeah, it reminds me of the build to Final Crisis, where it's just going to be a variety of events and stories coalescing over a period of years

Thanks. I read the rebirth stuff already its what got me interested.
I'll wait for Batman 21 then. I love the retconning of Dr. Manhattan as the cause for the New 52

Yeah I mean even if the Button leads to those Dark Days things they're even talking about Dark Days as a precursor to bigger events. It's just a case of how many precursor's there are.

He's responsible for the plotting of all the crossovers IIRC. Think BC did an article on something Tom King said if someone wants to go look for it. His next project with him as an actual writer is the Aquaman arc he'll do later(Rise of the Seven Seas).

Flash has been really hit and miss imo. Not really bad, but just kind of ok with some highlights here and there. Rogues story was good and I think it had one or two one off issues that I really liked.

So is today's Captain America in the middle of a story arc or just a one-and-done story? I almost bought it because Madame Hydra is pretty great, but I don't want to buy an issue that's in the middle of a story.
They'll announce it just when you've given up hope.
