What do you have in mind?
there's already a "all new marvel" thread on top of the regular comics thread. I'm not sure what another thread could accomplish.

What's interesting about that is in the new Captain Marvel title by Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas, Carol is the leader of Alpha Flight.

People don't give a shit about the Ultimate universe outside of Miles. You should be happy that this was the Ultimate U's send off instead of just having 616 Galactus eat Ultimate Earth in a book no one was reading.
Anyone up for a book club after this thread goes back to Community?
How does Molecule Man pay back Miles?
I read through the thread and had to stop right here. I WILL NOT LET YOU DEFAME THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE DAMMIT.
UU brought us:
Miles and resulting rage.
A realistic version of the X-Men
Kitty Pryde leading ass leader with excellent use of her powers.
Great storylines

Questions on ending:
Can someone explainhow the Maker was made into pizza and eaten by Molecule Man only to wind up alive in Doom's body at the end?
How does Molecule Man pay back Miles?
What are the moments in this series that writers could use for the What If that comes inside of five years if it happens?
I am up for it.

I'll add to the consensus that you all should read Infinity Gauntlet if you read any of the Secret Wars tie-in books. It also helps that it has one of my favorite Star-Lord designs & what could be my favorite Gamora design.
early ultimate universe was good. i didnt care for the ultimates, but i liked f4 and spider man. but it fell. hard. it was just a shambling corpse looking for a way out in the end. but the sad thing is that the remaining good the universe had, they let die with it instead of exiling them along with miles. the young x-men as well as young avengers could have had a much better home in the 616
He really is. I'd love to see him write Richard Rider one day.Dustin Weaver is one of the best.
Speaking of which, where the hell is the rest of SHIELD?
As of right now most issues of ANAD jump ahead eight months later; most heroes seem to remember the end of the world thing, but not Battleworld itself. The end of the world didn't happen (I guess everyone assumes it was resolved) and life just went on. As of right now, I guess Singularity (Debuted in A-Force), Miles, Reed, Molecule Man, Doom, Panther and probably a few others remember Battleworld.Man I'm quite confused after reading that.
The ending was awesome though. Just goes to show how much the FF and Doom belong in the MCU.
Doom would be a perfect phase 4 villain and his rivalry with Reed IMO is what makes the fantastic four interesting.
So do any of the comics after secrets wars explain exactly what happened with the new world? What happened to t'challa? Did he use the stone to help retain his memories while he warped back to the new world? Do the incursions still happen? Which characters remember and which don't? What exactly is created in this new universe? Just earth and nothing so far?
Brainhurts...
Thats what I felt too. Scarlet Witch is more the kind of stuff I was expecting Dr Strange's solo series to be like.Dr Strange 1 was dope, but such a tonal shift from the dark story we've all been reading him in. I know all is fair in this universal upheaval, but I was digging his 'sell parts of my soul for great power' stuff.

Miles was folded seamlessly into the Prime Universe and his mother was returned to life. That's how Owen paid him back.
What happened to Genki? The real star of the show? D:
can someone explain to me the new trend on these covers? art, coloring and style just looks sort of bad. Seems like marvel opened up to a lot of different art styles and color styles. Not saying I'm digging it though.
Curios what happened as a fan of 70's to 2000 style comics
I like a lot of the spawn stuff. most of the 80's batman.Can you give us examples of what covers you like? There's a lot of variance in Marvel comics covers nowadays.
Did Hickman ever write an Ultimate F4 book to setup the Maker or just Ultimates?

That Spawn cover is straight fire. I always loved McFarlane's designs. Plus the McFarlane universe produced THE best action figures when I was a kid in the 90s, bar none.

What about these though?
Like I said, there's a lot of variety to comics in terms of art styles nowadays.
I'd suggest reading the Thor: God of Thunder run for some nice art.
Such a transparent troll post. You need to try a little harder.
Some of them look ok but things like this. Just the art , style and coloring doesn't look nearly as good as the old stuff to me. Face looks funny and the coloring looks closer to cell shading than anything to me.
looks way more stylized, must be a new trend marvel started doing
ths isn't that great but i do like it better.
Just seems there was a transition in style over the years that caught me off guard
This ends up looking a bit ugly to me personally. sorry if i ofend anyone
and this face looks awful, what is going on in todays comics? I dont really get it I guess
I thought marvel cared about faces, hands in their books. I just feel confused.

90s image art was mostly trash and doesn't hold up.
'Why is this Hitch art bad? Why can't it be like this Liefield fellow?'
Ayyy
The Spawn cover is from 2011 though :X
90s Image Comics (Spawn especially) did do a really good job with coloring for the most part. Compared to Marvel and DC, they were light years ahead in terms of adopting digital coloring and better quality paper. I remember this cover in particular standing out next to Marvel and DC who were still doing 4 color comics the way they always did them.
The partners had little business or management experience, and many series fell behind their intended publishing schedule.[16][note 1] Comparing them to vaporware, one reader reported that 17 of the 36 delayed items in his December 1992 order were from Image.[17] Retailers' orders of newly offered issues were typically based on the sales of recent issues, but as the issues shipped weeks and even several months late, fans' interest tended to wane, leaving retailers with unsold inventory. In response, retailers cut orders to reduce their risk. This significantly hurt the studios, which were each responsible for their own cash flow and profitability.[18] In late 1993, the partners hired independent cartoonist Larry Marder to act as "executive director" for the publisher;[19] Valentino quipped in interviews that Marder's job was literally to "direct the executives" (i.e. the Image partners). Marder developed better financial planning and had some success in disciplining creators to deliver their work on time, in part by insisting that retail orders for new issues would not be solicited until the books had been illustrated, usually ensuring they would be ready to ship when promised.
uh, if you were actually around any buying comics during the 90s image heyday, you'd realize that there was a big quality jump sure- but image was absolutely PLAGUED with delays on books that went months at a time

So yeah, Image had the luxury to make their books prettier than what marvel was putting out, but Marvel didn't leave you waiting 6 months between WildCats 3 and 4.

Rob Liefeld said:“Youngblood #1 was a disaster, period, end of story. Put it behind me. It will always exist, but disaster. I worked with a friend, who I let go after that, who scripted the book. And when we reprint the first four issues, or zero through four, the whole probably will be rescripted and people will see how different, a different script on top of it. I did not write that. People, I was doing on that what I did on X-Force. I plotted it, and Fabian Nicieza would come in and script on me on X-Force. I plotted Youngblood #1, and I wanted two stories on each side. Little things like `To be continued’ didn’t get stamped down in the right places. I mean, that was a production problem, but the writing–you know the whole package, I look back and I go, you know, never gonna shake it that I can acknowledge that it didn’t turn out the way it was supposed to. Two, three and four, I’ll hold them up against any other comic book in terms of there’s a story going along, and the characters are wrapped up in it, battle one large villain character, and it was resolved.”
Wait Bombshell? That's great.Miles supporting cast seems to be his mom, his dad, Ganke, Bombshell, and the glasses kid he and Ganke roomed with.
