138 issues in and it's still the best monthly cape book.
No, I have the complete Clone Saga in my shelf ready to read, but I couldnt motivate myself into 2000 pages of the as worst considered Spider-Man arc yet... Maybe someday
I think it was more negativ recived in this thread but I always liked Slotts events before.
Wow!
It gets slightly better. It's at the point where it's gotten me to stick around.
Wore my Captain Marvel shirt yesterday. Went and got some coffee and the guy taking my order asks "IS THAT CAROL DANVERS!?" Not sure if he reads comics or is already familiar with her but it caught me off-guard as I didn't expect the masses to know who she is.

So, I finally got around to reading Annihilation. I felt like it got better as it went along; Drax was so utterly pointless for the first 1/3 of it I just didn't get him at all.
But the key thing I took away from Annihilation was that I would totally buy a Ronan The Accuser book where he is basically Space Judge Dredd. I would buy the *hell* out of that book.

It's so tragic how he got treated by writers post-DnA and the movie.
BC rumor: Marvel Comics Someone From The Top, Up For The Chop?
That article mentions Perlmutter as someone very unlikely to be fired. I thought people believed he was no longer working for Marvel. Do we know for sure either way?
Did he not just get a new title and that was it

I sometimes want to be caught up in what's going on for the Xmen, but then I realize it'd cost me 16 bucks just to read two books each month that I probably wouldn't even like that much. I'll just read astonishing and wait for unlimited for the rest like a responsible adult... which I am not.
Not sure. I thought there was a hollywood reporter article (normally a reputable source) that said he left months ago, but no one picked up on it for a while.
Also, are you on a break from Olivia Wilde? I don't see an avatar.

From Ellis newsletter(subscribe!):
Art by Jon Davis-Hunt, colour by Steve Buccellato - first page from THE WILD STORM #7, on sale September 20. (We have a skip month.) Variant cover by my old comrade Bryan Hitch. Bryan and I talk once a week or so, these days, some seventeen years after finishing our year originating THE AUTHORITY.
I'm running a little slow right now, wrapping issue 9, with issues 10 - 12 existing as piles of notes in the notebook and Notepad text files. Jon is somewhere in issue 8 and probably cursing my name over the unnecessarily long psychedelic scenes full of pointless odd details that amused the shit out of me when I was writing it.
Bryan Hill's well into MICHAEL CRAY, Steve is finishing up issue one and killing it. All is well at the Wildstorm office.
Colleen Doran is back working on FINALITY, our comics series for LINE Webtoon, after taking some time off to kick the arse of some health issues. As you can see, she's returned to full powers. Moreover, I am grateful that my friend is feeling better. Look for more news about FINALITY towards the end of the year -- we're getting as much as possible in the can before we go live. And, no, I shouldn't be leaking panels from it.
Colleen has a Patreon that you may want to investigate.
Finally making some headway on the WW by Perez Omni Vol. 2. Been a little down on it lately but I really enjoyed the arc I just read. Got about a hundred pages to go.
Also getting back into FF by Byrne Omnbibus Vol. 1. It's very good but very dense. I've just been reading 1-3 issues at a time and then putting it back on the shelf for a little while.

Honestly, I gave up on the X-Men for the time being. I did read Old Man Logan for a bit because of the amazing art of Sorentino (like, damn, what amazing stuff) but dropped the book with the new current team.
Read the opening issues of X-Men Gold and Blue: ugh. Do appreciate the Gold approach where they try to be superheroes again.
I should get Marvel Unlimited
Has to be Brevoort and/or Alonso, both pushed for HYDRA Cap and now it's blowing up in their faces and Legacy is already getting shit on.
Or Gabriel who did the whole "Diversity isn't selling" misquote.

I'm so disappointed by Jimmy's Bastards. I love Ennis, and I don't have a problem with satirizing progressives. And I know what to expect from him, generally. But when he takes shots at concepts like microagression and creates a villainous organization called "the gender fluid," I get pretty damn uncomfortable. I don't think he really has any clue, here...looked up an interview about it and found this bit
That's a super bad look when applied to, say, someone asserting their gender (or lack thereof). And ugh what a tired argument about political correctness. I don't know what the hell he is doing here but I'm out.

Sooo, I caught up with Amazing Spider-Man. And I have very mixed feelings.
The arc with Regent was very good, one of the better arcs in the last years of Slott doing stuff. I liked the banter with Stark, since all the Parker CEO stuff was clearly inspired by the early Iron Man stuff, I was very looking forward to this and I was satisfied.
The next trade, Dead No More was really bad. It has a lot of Bendis-Syndrom. Everyone sounded exactly the same. Everyone is half-jokingly all the time and it kills a lot of the suspense. And I just overall didnt cared what happened. Oh cool, JJJ Senior finally died and Aunt May is solo again. How terrible
, oh Max Dillion was randomly killed to be replaced by a female Electro... Electra... Eh. Oh noes, so terrible, I guess she will be around for decades!
And then Clone Conspiracy started and yikes. Jackal was the worst. My issue with everyone having the same voice and banering and joking around continued. It was so horrible. Espescially for the Jackal. Given that he is the insane clone of the insane clone of the insane clone etc of Peter Parker, I can see what Slott was going for with him joking around all the time in the worst manner, but it felt really half assed. Also the Plot really didnt made much sense. Spider-Gwen and Kaine not telling Peter of the upcoming threat, because in other worlds, he helped the Jackal to clone around is just a big plothole. Just take him to Loomworld and show him what happened. Its not that difficult. You should know that "our" Peter Parker would not go for this after seeing this.
For me, there were only two highlights in this Event: Immonens AMAZING! and spectacular art and the great issue in Amazing Spider-Man, in which Peter has a talk with the Gwen-Clone.
I havent read the Silk Tie-In, since I will rather read the whole series since its now canceled, but the Prowler "Ongoing" was really shit. His Inner Monologues were so laughable, he sounded as if he was really deep in Spideys butt. "He acts like a complete idiot and against the guy for which I developed a hastingly developed motivation that makes no real sense, but hey Spidey cant be wrong!" No wonder this shit was canceled after Issue 6.
I really hope Slott is of with Issue 800. The series needs fresh blood. Desperatly.
Still, I am looking forwards the Osborn Arc. Hopefully, its not that bad.

This is just sad all around.
"Better have her sign a consent form, she looks like the "false rape charge" type."
Holy shit...i can't believe this shit. All because she is a woman in comics.
Imagine being so threatened by anything that isn't a straight white male

Jokes on them, I don't use social media.
Stanley 'Artgerm' Lau. He had them made into t-shirts. The art was supposed to be printed on a navy blue shirt but when I bought mine, second day of SDCC when the first day's stock ran out, the shirt was black. His helpers were confused and Stanley tells me "bah, it's still good". I wasn't complaining or anything and I was going to purchase it anyway. I thought that it was a funny moment when they all tried to convince me that it's still a worthwhile purchase when my mind was already decided.

It will also be used as a recommendation list too.
The way the first post is worded is like you are going to use it against people. Not me obviously I only recommend top quality titles.
