Yeah, the first few issues didn't really doo much for me, but once the "Phoenix Five" show up, it gets really good.

I would have liked Cyclops to remain a villain after this, but he's already leading an x-men team in marvel now!. Granted, he's still a dick, but he's not what he could be.

Wish marvel would commit when they turn a hero. Scarlet Witch could have been great as a villain.

I actually liked Wanda taking Carol's offer to visit the Avengers Mansion only to get the official ban hammer from Vision. Like, "Bitch Disassembled and House of M was not that long ago, GTFO." Seemed kinda harsh but... No More Mutants. For fuck sake you can kinda blame Wanda for everything thus far, so I like that she got it hard on her first day back.

Cyclops could have been the new Magneto, but I guess he still sells merch as a good guy and it would have been to drastic a change for the kiddies (oh but let's outright kill him in a fucking movie).

Cap owns Gambit in like two panels.

That actually bothered me. In the last Avengers issue after Disassembled, Carol had the most hatred for Wanda. In fact her whole redemption has been handled extremely poorly with little to no attention paid to how other people are writing it. In Children's Crusade, Rogue sticks up for Wanda, but in the new Uncanny Avengers book, she holds deep resentment towards Wanda.

It's just like, is anyone paying any attention at all? Her return to the Avengers is just a big mess. She should have remained a crazy reality altering mega threat on the scale of Thanos, and Surtur.

Fignuts 12-13-2012 04:06 AM

Oh, and I doubt Cyclops moves any merch at all. They had to make him a dickhead just to make him remotely interesting. I think the marvel money train could have kept chugging along just fine with a Cyclops heel turn.

Inadequacy 12-13-2012 12:36 PM

The reviews I read were mostly positive. I may check it out

Schlomey 12-13-2012 12:39 PM

The peoples reviews I read were from long term readers. They mainly said that they took characters that were established and killed them off to start fresh...I don't know how accurate that is as I have nothing to go off of as this would be my first read in this book.

Inadequacy 12-13-2012 02:25 PM

I read it, I didn't hate it, I will check it out again .

Inadequacy 12-13-2012 05:34 PM

The more I think about it the more optimistic I am about this series. It doesn't feel like it will just be killing people for shock or a house cleaning effort. And after reading the messages from Dennis Hopeless in the letter column it sounds like he knows the proper way to handle this series. He respects the characters and isn't just throwing them in the meat grinder.

I'm going to stay on for the first arc at least.

Kalyx triaD 12-17-2012 04:14 PM

Jamie Foxx has revealed that Elektro will begin as a partner of sorts to Spider-Man, which would be the first time that character gets respect, until something happens that initiates his turn to villainy.

He also reveals that the costume will be black (I'm thinking otherwise darker than the classic 616 attire). This is in line with the Ultimate version of the character, of which this reboot adheres close to begin with.

Foxx's Django co-star, Sam motherfucking Jackson also reveals that of course Nick Fury will have a larger role in the likely SHIELD heavy Captain America sequel.

Would not mind if Lil League goes to one episode a week if it means a Lil Avengers episode alongside it. They could go to different schools. And then one day...

Ending for Amazing Spider-Man #700 leaked. Dan Slott has received death threats over it already.

I find it hilarious. Bring on Superior Spider-Man.

Where to find it?

Kalyx triaD 12-18-2012 08:06 PM

I don't think the comic was leaked to read, but the ending was discussed on io9.com.

Inadequacy 12-18-2012 08:15 PM

Trying so hard to avoid those spoilers.

Regardless of what happens I'm with Dan Slott

Lock Jaw 12-18-2012 08:20 PM

I am way behind on Marvel, so I will most likely have it spoilered for me somewhere before I ever catch up.

It's kinda wild, and yet familiar in terms of 'Spidey story stunts'. Not trying to tease you or anything.

Kalyx triaD 12-20-2012 02:00 AM

Some non-news for today, Hugh Jackman has officially joined Days of Future Past. This means we'll have some fresh Wolverine awesomeness for two straight years.

Rammsteinmad 12-20-2012 03:58 AM

Wow, that's cool. Coincidently, I watched First Class last night, and that Wolverine cameo is still hilarious.

Kalyx triaD 12-20-2012 05:44 AM

Yeah. And for me it puts an alternate spin to Logan meeting Charles in X1. Watching it after First Class, and this may be due to Stewart's epically nuanced approach, it feels like the Professor had this 'now I can finally guide you' vibe. Hard to explain. But as much as First Class walked over what was established, there's these deeper things that it strengthened for the initial trilogy. Origins had a similar though lighter effect like that.

So uh, Peter Parker died today in Amazing Spider-Man. I read it was a lousy way to go.

I read it, I loved that run and will check out Superior to see what's next for the bigger picture. Just wasn't too happy with how it ended that story.

Now we've flipped that. It's the Marvel Universe that doesn't have the whole story, and they think he's a hero. And it's the readers who are going, "No! No! No! No! He's a menace! I don't like him!" The readers have become J. Jonah Jameson.

Amazing Spider-Man #700 Variant Set Hits A Grand On eBay

By: Scott Johnson on December 28, 2012

http://comicbook.com/wp-content/uplo...nt-195x300.jpg
With news outlets across the country reporting on the death of Peter Parker, comic book stores are seeing a flurry of interest in Amazing Spider-Man #700. Just like with Superman’s death twenty years ago, the speculator market is hot to pick up copies of the Peter Parker death issue.
Amazing Spider-Man #700 is already sold out at many comic book stores across the country, which means collectors are already turning to eBay. While the regular cover version of Amazing Spider-Man #700 is selling for just slightly above cover price, the variant covers are quickly escalating in price.
In fact, a collection of all eight variant covers for Amazing Spider-Man #700 recently sold on eBay for a cool grand. The most popular of all the variant covers is the Steve Ditko variant, which is limited to 1 in 200 copies. A copy of the Amazing Spider-Man #700 Ditko variant recently sold by itself on eBay for $600.

Kinda nervous for Superior Spider-Man. If it sucks, I may go out on a mission to re-read all 700 ASM.

I like Stan but wish he would give more credit to Kirby and Ditko.

Just got in Essential Marvel 2 in 1 volume 4 today. Loved that series when I was a kid. And have had fun rereading them.
