Yeah I'm reading it. Pretty good but the first issue was not very inviting.

Marvel Digital Unlimited updates this past month have been awful and small.
Yep. I have a small amount of hope that they are either in the middle of a major overhaul (and holidays), and that the updates will get better in coming weeks, but I am not all that thrilled at these 9-13 book weeks when we used to get a consistent 25 new releases.
I have been subbing to the service close to 4 years now, but unless things improve I am going to stop renewing next spring when my annual sub is up.

I don't know, Ryan Higgins (?) showing up is a pretty big "get".
I am still checking it out. I find the idea behind the "mind prison". I have not read issue 2 just yet, but I have it at home.
they added the Magneto Not a Hero mini, always wanted to check that out. Still not renewing my sub when it expires Dec 1st. Things need to change...apps need to be made.

I somehow missed this when looking at the preview pages, but it appears that Hickman's Avengers run will

involve some substantial New Universe elements.
By random coincidence, I recently reread Ellis' never-to-be-completed Newuniversal run, so this makes me even more interested.

Marvel has traditionally outsold DC by a large margin (at one point, they were almost 70% of the comic market), but in the last decade, they've remained pretty even. While sales on DC's New 52 have obviously leveled out 16 months in, those first few months were the most exciting (and biggest sales) I've seen in comics since Civil War.
MarvelNOW! has nowhere the same reach. The big orders on Uncanny Avengers #1 was solely due to the insane amount of variant covers, and huge discounts on the main cover that Marvel gave retailers to order big. You were losing money if you didn't order a shitload. Each MarvelNOW! #1 has 4-8 variant covers, again goosing the numbers to crazy-high levels for the stores that go for those sorts of things. The regular covers of most books will be lining bird cages in the coming months. I have half a short box of Uncanny Avengers #1 I'll be giving away on FCBD. Counter that to DC's New 52, which with very few exceptions, most stores sold out of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th printings of. I'm still ordering copies of Justice League #1 8th printing and selling them.
Most people were willing, like always, to try the new #1 issues, but sales on the few #2s out so far have been mixed. Uncanny Avengers and All-New X-Men sold well yesterday, but Iron Man is already selling under the last issue of the pre-relaunch series. Red She-Hulk and Journey Into Mystery are already selling in the single digits.
I bought a house due to DC sales. I'm going to be giving away free copies of MarvelNOW comics because I can't sell them.
Trust me, I'm not.
He only showed up because I told him I was talking shit about him. It wouldn't be much of a battle anyways since he knows he's a bad person.
I Vampire 14: Anybody else even reading this amazing book? Every new issue kills me a little inside because the countdown has officially begun until Sorrentino's done with art, (and unofficially until it just gets shitcanned outright). It deserves so much better. Human Mary and Asshole Andrew might be my favorite DC characters.

His design is so fugly. The smaller eyes and claw fingers do not look good.

Welcome DC faithful to the hierarchy! Brah, are you DCs Rich Johnston?
I dunno. I like it. They are smaller changes that don't change to core look of the character, but still give a small hint that things have changed.

DID YOU KNOW:
That was a reference to The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling, a show that Matt Fraction listens to and supports often in its fundraising efforts by offering rad swag to pledgers.
NOW YOU KNOW!
Bro, that is not fugly.
This is fugly.
Up there, that's some of the most negligible design I've ever seen. Don't get your panties in a wad over that nonsense. Not when there are so much more painful alternatives.

Dan Slott just spoiled Psycho for me, that cunt.
Anyone want to let me know something about the Hickman Avenger spoiler up top this page? Is it in reference to the length of his run? Or story/character related spoilers? I don't mind knowing how long he's planned a run for. Makes me feel confident that it'll wrap up nicely.
Yeah, UXF goes right up there with NXM quality-wise. You're in for a treat.

It's not about length of the run.

Spider-Man will not be Peter Parker. He never says it is Doc Ock. What if both of their personalities become one? So Spidey isn't Peter or Ock anymore?
I'd read that, this would actually be pretty cool.

That's the theory been talking about on CBR forums.

I look at his entire big time run and think who has he most developed besides Peter Parker.
This is Slott's biggest clue from an interview.

I actually use both the Comixology and Marvel apps. It's worth having the Marvel app around just for the free comics that are rotated in every week. I believe every Tuesday or Wednesday, they rotate the selection available. For example, this week, Uncanny X-Force #1 is available for free download. I only purchase comics from the Comixology app though. The weekly sales are great for jump starting your collection.
The Spidey shit is kinda cool but I feel like I kinda missed out not having read Slott's stuff since the beginning.
He hasn't gone full Dyack yet.

Just wanted to say thanks, worked a treat. I received an email response from them this morning and it has been manually added to my account. Phew! They really were on it.
Edit: I'm now a member??
Comics doesn't have a NeoGAF to completely drive him insane.
He trolls pretty hard right back though. Plus he re-tweets the trolls and the funniest hate he gets. I think he's just tired of keeping the secret already.

Very. Closed down his Formspring cuz he couldn't take the hate, the big baby. "Back in the day, people would've been more grateful to talk to the creators of books they read!"

I haven't been following news on the upcoming Superior Spider-Man, but spoilers for the current Amazing Spider-Man issues have piqued my interest. I've read a few issues before, from the Grim Hunt arc, but I wasn't a fan of the artwork. Will Superior Spider-Man have the same "look"? I'm keen to jump on board from issue #1, but not so much if the art hasn't changed.

I remember when he told a user on CBR to fuck off. I died. He needs to instead add his trolls as cameos into Spider-Man and make fun of them, like Peter David.

Seems quite likely at this point. Will have to dig in the old thread to see how that would settle the bet.
