yeah. "out" someone
His book doubled down on the fact that no one really likes or cares about him.
Dude canonically has one friend
Not in the recent post-CoC games, but the comics seem to more-or-less be safe.
As for the news, I'm surprised that they're still trying to make Sam work. That aside, I'm a bit surprised that they side-stepped the Young Avengers name.
Yeah, that cover looks like ass.
Ramos can do good work, but this most certainly ain't it.
This is apparently a result of Civil War II, so we'll likely find out in the coming months.
It just happened.
Like, New Avengers just got its first trade, and now it's already getting relaunched. Ms. Marvel had that amazing first storyline about how Kamala feels torn between all this responsibility, and that just got tossed into the shitter.
ANAD was cool because it had the kid characters. What's even the point of it now?
I don't see how considering she's still on a team that will require her attention, if not more now that she's one the founders. If anything I would expect this book to better for her because she was out of her weight class in ANAD in which there were facing cosmic threats and she couldn't really do much to help.

That's so sad, but I can't stop laughing.
They would have to cancel Squrrriel girl to if they went by those numbers
I wouldn't be surprised if the Septermber issue was the last unless they have some sort of idea to retool it into something else.
Fair enough, but at least Squirrel Girl has built up quite a fanbase as of late. The same can't be said for Sam (or at least to the degree of Squirrel Girl).

His mentor is a picture of a helmet somewhere in space.
Yeah, it's way funnier than it should be.
If they are gonna cancel Sam's ongoing in the near future, they should at least wrap up whatever arc they're currently doing.

To be honest, I feel like most of the Sam hate comes from the fact that he replaced Richard Rider (though Sam not being a very compelling character may have something to do with it, too). Take Ms. Marvel for example, she didn't outright replace Carol (she was still around as Captain Marvel), & Kamala is a compelling character to boot. And while sure, Peter died in Miles' home universe, we still had Peter Parker in the main Marvel Universe. What I'm saying is that reviving Richie may in turn help Sam's popularity since one of the main sources of the hate surrounding Sam would be rectified. That & getting a more compelling story going for Sam.
Personally I would love another Sam book as good as what Duggan wrote. The ANAD run went backwards and ignored everything space related.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Duggan's run was most certainly compelling.
But it still doesn't appear to be enough to bring in readers, which may tie into the post I made earlier about the absence of Richie being one of the main sources of the hate surrounding Sam.
I think it started at around Marvel NOW (the first one), but they really went crazy with diversity as of All-New All-Different Marvel.
Like I said, the current run isn't good lol. I want to see Rider return.
Marvel Now in 2012.
Duggan was the pre-SW run. I'm saying the ANAD run by Sean Ryan is bad.
When diversity became profitable. They've been trying for a while, but most books didn't sell for various reasons and ended up being cancelled or never had follow-ups. See X-Men: Academy, Araña/Spider-Girl, Young Avengers, Avengers Academy, Runaways (eventually), Generation Hope, etc.
It was a 7 year run, hardly one story.
This team needs bomber jackets
Even Vision won't wear one. That look on his face.

God, fuck that story.
I'm all for gay/bi Iceman, but that was a coming-out story written by someone who has no idea what makes coming-out stories dramatically compelling, let alone what it's like to actually come out. In storytelling and characterization terms, what Jean did was only slightly less lazy than just having her turn Bobby gay.
The team with (Steve) Cap, Quicksilver, & (Janet) Wasp? I think I just read a recent issue of that, a few days ago.
Ultron wearing Hank's face came back.
Yeah, that one.
FTFY.
Nothing good ever happens in Sept, comic related
i wish the ultraverse opened back up
