Sorry, I disagree on OML. He's the exact same that the OG Logan in how the writers have interpreted him since bringing him over to the 616 universe. I'll take the original every time, thanks.

Lois wanted Superman, she settled for Clark.
That doesn't plague your mind George?
She pretty much said "Good enough"
Is Wonder Man back?

As it should be.
Yeah, but it's not the same. Sure, Falcon has his own book, but by this time next year that'll be cancelled and he'll just be Steve's black friend again, showing up for a bit part in a story arc every now and then.
Who knows with Laura though, I feel like they haven't ever really had a solid direction for her as a character. Even now. I just like Taylor on the book.
*long, drawn out sigh*

Probably because editorial is just screaming "stretch it out until the real one gets back" for a few years.
Then the real one comes back and she's relegated to a side character like every other legacy mantel ever because change is bad you gais.

The single most pointless character in the Marvel Universe.
Eye Scream is more interesting, useful, memorable and necessary than Jimmy Fucking Hudson.
For maximum fuckery Madelaine Pryor should be involved
That and I meant in-universe as well. Everyone seemed to hate him, even past the usual Marvel civilians routine. Black, white, young, and old.
He was my top guess and who I would've brought back. Jean was a my second guess so things worked out there lol.
All-New Wolverine is Marvel's second best selling female-led title so that's not going anywhere and it looks like Logan may be dealing with some other stuff for the time being, so we'll see what happens with OML.
I would expect him to come back soon enough.

Can anyone tell me why comic companies are so adamant about spoiling their own stuff? Or am I misunderstanding these news pieces and they're usually just people getting the issue early and putting the info out? I guess it's to generate hype, but I'd be kind of pissed if I was following this stuff closely.

Well it sounds bad when you put it like it
that.

So how long till Chuck comes back with some weird twist?
Six months?
Six months?
Marvel for some reason is in love with doing this. (I mean chasing headline is the obv answer)
The issue drops Wed, so word will get out as the book starts shipping. Better to "control the narrative" I guess.
Welp, someone hasn't been reading Astonishing.

Hype and to get word out since they're probably already in pre-pro on merchandising lines and that's where their money from the comics end comes from.

It boosts pre-orders, which is the primary metric the industry uses to judge the success or failure of a title.
Storm and Logan tho

LOL, I was about to say.
You mean Storm and Forge.

Think he popped out of Rogue recently.
Marvel loves to do it. No spoiler has been revealed in a book since Secret Wars.
They could have done some interesting love triangle stuff with Rogue, WM, and Scarlet Witch.

With comics reveals about stuff like returns build interest along with some market related stuff. Page leaks come out on Monday so Marvel recently decided to just get ahead of it and control the message.
The early reveals I can think of are a certain scene in Secret Empire and this.
Yes.

They gotta get people hyped to pre-order at the shop.

Best X-Book in awhile imo.
Please let Aaron be writting a book featuring Logan! Even if its a New Avengers book ala Bendis's run.
Guardians is doing a big arc about them right now, and calling them stones as well.

Wtf they brought Hulk back already?

They had a deadline with Legacy so they just started bringing back characters willy nilly.
Arnim Zola brought him back, no other explanation given.
He's not back yet, but he likely will be soon given that everyone else seems to be coming back.

And all deaths/comas in Civil War II. Doing early reveals doesn't work because comics are ordered months before and shops only have a limited amount.

You know, I'd be down for that. She hasn't kicked that shithead enough as far as I'm concerned.
Marvel didn't reveal those beforehand.
Might as well go all in.
Make Jean reset the timeline until right before Mastermind took control of her, redo the whole Dark Phoenix Saga as a Special X-men Event but with an ending where she doesn't die and the X-men don't have to go through 30 years of shit including Madelyne Pryor and alternate future crap, and re publish Uncanny with the sub: The Real X-men are back!
I'd get back on the train for that.
The og comic had Logan with a small crush on Jean, but she never even hinted at reciprocity, and he moved on to Mariko.
Jean/ Scott 4eva (even if imo Scott moving on with Emma made sense with the BS that kept happening)

The love triangle was an animated cartoon crap.

They also published Infamous Iron Man before Tony got coma'd.
That article was published the same day the comic released.
Infamous Iron Man was always going to be known before the coma even if you ignore the delays due to how solicitations work.

Happened really early in the morning then because every other article I found after that one used it as a source since it was directly from Marvel(even though it had leaked beforehand) and added "issue is out later today/tomorrow"

The reason is obvious (they are always trying to confirm to MCU conventions these days) but it's possible in-universe that it was a conscious change by Reed+others when rebuilding, perhaps we'll see if the nature of the gems/stones have changed.
