Well... Now they know to tell a contained story.

KIRA 09-21-2017 02:20 PM

I thinK with Domino shes going to have vitaligo to explain her skin. Patch on eye is the beginning stages.

I had so much hope for Evil Capt. America as someone who hated everything about him this was a welcome change but Secret Empire sucks balls its all over the fucking place and not in a good way. Im just gonna quit and start reading METAL.

Emperor Smeat 09-21-2017 02:34 PM

Heard a lot of bad things abut Secret Empire although I only have read up to issue 4 at the moment. Punisher working for Hydra and the cosmic cube memory stuff is the worst so far.

KIRA 09-21-2017 02:51 PM

I'll just say this if you do like Capt America when his part comes to a head it will piss you off

Lock Jaw 09-21-2017 03:19 PM

Explain it to me, using spoiler tags if you want to be nice

Once again:

Marvel does stunts for headlines and self congratulated press releases. They do not have follow-thru for the stories they tell. Up to and including entire event stories. Press releases and headlines have been the motivation for the last three years of their major decisions in the books.

Basis for the speculation involves current marketing for the series suggesting ABC won't be ordering future seasons.

I am not interested in this, but I will probably watch it to see Ramsay Bolton be evil again.

Fignuts 09-22-2017 06:09 AM

Marvel hasn't had a truly great event book since Annihilation.

I wouldn't even care about this if the books were good, but despite a few exceptions like femthor, ms. marvel, and the all female X-Men, they really haven't been.

Sixx 09-22-2017 06:11 AM

I liked Civil War and Secret Invasion. Not too big of a fan of Marvel in space, to be honest.

Sixx 09-22-2017 06:12 AM

I also skip Spiderman events, because it's always a bunch of clones.

Fignuts 09-22-2017 06:26 AM

I don't really count the Spider-Man or X-Men events as they're more self contained.

I've gone into why I'm not a fan of civil war. Not going to rehash that. Secret Invasion was good. Just not great. The entire concept was based around a power set the skrulls have had since they debuted in the 60's. Just kind of felt like they were making a big deal over something the skrulls have been doing for decades.

Sixx 09-22-2017 06:39 AM

Hmm, wait, Avengers vs X-Men was ok.

Can't really think of any good Ultimate events. Cataclysm for instance was plain terrible.

Sixx 09-22-2017 06:43 AM

Ultimatum was bad, too. Remember thinking why has noone ever thought of making Wolverine sit out their battles with Magneto.

Blonde Moment 09-22-2017 10:01 AM

Just want the Fantastic four and the X men back and not the ones we got stuck with after the "realism" of the 90s onwards. I see some hope with the current patch of titles but they are just getting too bogged down. What happened to telling a story without fucking everyone over? The had a young version of the original 5 and they somehow managed to fuck them all up in what 5 years.... fuck.
Wolverines all over the place and getting tired. Let's replace him with 4 others instead...

Lock Jaw 09-22-2017 10:34 AM

I heard that the adult Jean Grey is coming back to life soon......

Sixx 09-22-2017 10:37 AM

Isn't that actress old as dirt now?

Lock Jaw 09-22-2017 12:49 PM

I meant in the comic books........

AvX was ok, yes, but again nothing really great, that lives up to the hype that accompanies these events.

These days I look forward to the ongoing titles more than any crossover events.

Speaking of which, I'm also quite annoyed that the frequency of big events combined with the need to have tie ins in fucking everything means that stories in ongoing titles that I'm enjoying are constantly getting interrupted.

And I'll bet people are crying about it, despite it being over a decade since she's been gone.

Blonde Moment 09-22-2017 08:26 PM

Want to see a Byrne Austin Clairmont run that takes off from the original plans for Uncanny 137 onwards

Blonde Moment 09-27-2017 11:55 AM

He's back
SPOILER: show
Snick!

and it's the real deal

Sixx 09-27-2017 03:59 PM

The fuck does snick mean and what is it you're saying?

Fignuts 09-27-2017 04:13 PM

He meant"snikt".

Kalyx triaD 09-27-2017 06:02 PM

Well... suppose a scrap between him and his old self would be interesting.

Fignuts 09-27-2017 06:14 PM

I mean it was going to happen. No one seriously believed he was going to stay dead.

Kalyx triaD 09-27-2017 06:36 PM

I knew it with the cop-out encassed in adamentium thing. Marvel is actually kind of brutal with deaths that stick. Beautiful kind of poetic deaths are always laced with cop-out potential.

Wolverine was killed in the comics 3 years ago and now he's back

RP 09-27-2017 06:57 PM

And apparently he has a Infinity stone.

Blonde Moment 09-27-2017 09:55 PM

For whatever reason the government was just keeping this stone in a crate somewhere.
Now did Logan cut his way out or have help?

Kalyx triaD 09-27-2017 11:24 PM

I figure that'll be elaborated in some future book. Marvel has a habit of actually spoiling events in press releases and leave the details for the 6 people still buying books these days. The monthly model is going to fade very soon. I wouldn't mind fewer books that are thicker tho.

Episodic monthly issues is a terrible format. Long form stories, true graphic novels, would be good for business...

Lock Jaw 09-28-2017 01:33 AM

Nobody really writes single issue stories anymore anyways...... everyone "writes for the trade".....

Well then he's a fucking moron. Snikt isn't even a real word and he still can't spell it.

Blonde Moment 09-29-2017 02:05 AM

ANd that could have been solved with a pm.
This isn't casual

Lock Jaw 09-29-2017 02:10 AM

THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS ONLY

Blonde Moment 09-29-2017 02:13 AM

Good enough.
Let's troll in all the forums.
Got it.
