All of these rumors are always about how editorial is always having crazy issues in addition to Bendis and/or Slott being huge problems before they sprinkle in some random stuff. People look at those things and say they find it believable, so they give merit to the rest.

It's like a fucking bingo game where they constantly check off all the same spaces, but since the rumors coincide with what people want to believe is true, they take it at face value.
Me too, it's on my list of things to get.

This would be incredible. Not going to get my hopes up though.
Ultimate Cap was a shitty person but in an enjoyable way, at least back then anyway. Maybe not so much now.

I could see an Ultimate Cap sliding to evil. Half the Ult Universe was one bad day away.

Look, this story was always going to end up garbage. Better to close this tirefire out by doing some dumbass "actually Cap's evil twin from another dimension" copout than the original subtext, which wasn't just stupid but actively harmful.

I don't see the point of this. Spencer already pre-emptively absolved him of his crimes by making him Hydra with a cosmic cube.
Pretty much, but there will likely still be consequences for the character.
That's my guess.
4 books enter the IST purchasing ring. Only one will survive. You must keep in mind the likelyhood of it being in stock helps its chances of being picked. But also quality of book matters. I want opinions.

2. Tank Girl Gold (Brett Parson, last part of his lovely tank girl trilogy)
3. Hulk Vol 1 Deconstructed (Read it, but would like to own a copy)
4. Amazing Spider-Man - The Gauntlet Vol 5 Lizard (Bachalo drawn story 'Shed')

Do you know if Simone is in this volume?
Btw its so odd seeing Lands art in the first two volumes and its.... actually not too bad tbh. He seemed to make an effort. It makes the current stuff that much more of a letdown.
No, I think it was all Dixon. But he's the greatest Bat family writer of all time, so that's good. It would be awesome if they keep this set of trades going past Dixon though, and include Simone's stuff.
And yeah, it's kind of crazy. Land was pretty great.

Would that be surprising? That's what I thought ever since the other Steve was shown.

They're not necessarily looking for logic, they're looking for a way out of the trap they've made for themselves.

My issue with Gabriel is the story that creates him. Though I haven't read all of it (I snagged an issue or two back in the day), the aftermath is enough to judge it on these merits alone (obviously I can't judge the story itself). Not only does it assassinate Xavier's character far more than any storyline before it (barring maybe Danger) by having him commit the single most evil act he's ever committed, Vulcan himself is the single greatest piece of shit ever. An Omega-tier mutant who had the shittiest upbringing and became the biggest, whiniest piece of shit EVER. There's zero redemption there. ZERO. And I don't need my villains to be sympathetic and have possibly redemptive arcs and personalities, but they need depth and there's nothing to him that interests me there. He had the shittiest life possible and therefore became the shittiest person ever. He has zero Summers in him, so it's completely nurture and no nature and therefore that dichotomy is already solved. He's morally repugnant to the highest level.
You compare him to Namor, but Namor was a hero. His been a dick, but he's also been a hero. He's respected and genuinely cared for his people (as well as some others). He's had a strong arc over the decades. Vulcan just popped up and then Black Bolt nuked his ass into another universe. Vulcan has no pathos.
Tl;dr Vulcan is the worst.
Which X-Force? If it's not Kyle and Yost, Remender, or Spurrier then I haven't read it.
Gotta love the bastard
They've been bringing in increasingly more and more Ultimate and alternate universe characters. It wouldn't surprise me.

Deathstroke is trying to fool himself into being a noble hero?

It's an interesting question.
His whole thing this issue was
engineering a hostage crisis in a US embassy
I think that he thinks that he's changed, but events will show that ultimately he really hasn't

True, but Taskmaster's still recovering from nearly a decade of getting the jobber treatment. It's only recently he's started getting good showings again.

Victor Gischler? Did fall in 2009-2011 era Marvel?
It's either that or Cap pushes through it with sheer moxy.
See also: Superman is the classic Superman and the new Superman because he was multiple Supermen and stuff.

Let Triton have this.
Astonishing X-Men (Whedon)
Locke & Key
Kingdom Come
Secret Six (Simone; 2008)
X-Men (1991) #188-199, Annual #1 (this is the first chunk of Mike Carey's run, which is all absolute perfection)
There are more than likely enough to make a top 10, but those came off the top of my head, so that's what's sticking for now. Like, for example, there are runs I could say are my favorites, but I haven't finished them, so I can't say that for sure. Such as Nightwing (Dixon) and X-Men (Mike Carey). There's also plenty of ongoings like I Hate Fairyland, Rat Queens, Detective Comics, Superman, and ROM that I'd put up there, but since they're ongoings I feel like that'd be cheating.
