Is anyone surprised?

I expected it to be more lol. At least $15. But $10 is probably the most they could get people to pay for the actual issue.

I dont see it selling anywhere close to 1 million though lol. It might hit 250K, but thats pushing it imo.

Absolute Carnage being four issues is for the best. The original Maximum Carnage was supposed to just be this dumb summer blockbuster event, some splashy fight scenes with big heroes and big villains, and then it's over. But it went in for FOURTEEN FUCKIN ISSUES, and became a prime example of 90s comic excess. If it was just a four issue story, it would've been fine. So if you're gonna non ironically do a Maximum Carnage 2, with the benefit of hindsight, that's the first thing you change.

That'll be a six issue mini.

Despite Bombshell being great and having one of the best outfits ever.

It could be about her reforming her mom. I'd totally be into it.

The #1 issue is basically the first 2-3 issues combined and it's then spread out to October. Same thing with Realms, it seems Akira-san's learned lessons from -Wars-CW2-Empire.

The best lesson they learned IMO is to not force your tie ins in the actual main books. So glad they stopped doing that shit. Like having a CW2 tie in right in the middle of the Power Man and Iron Fist book lol. So dumb.

They are doing this right now w/WOTR though. There are a few tie-in minis but ongoing books are already tying in or will be over the next couple months. Luckily Hulk isn't included but some others like Venom are

I had never even thought of it until you mentioning it, but North on Deadpool could be great and would definitely get me to read Deadpool. Him or Ewing is who I'm hoping for now.

Right? I was thinking of a book for him and I thought of Deadpool and it seems like a perfect match. He could definitely balance the humor with the more serious bits well.

I'm surprised it took eight months for Marvel to bring Lady Ock back and redesign her like the film.

That and keeping the events short. Carnage is doing the smart thing and not forcing a tie in. The only major tie ins is Venom and Amazing Spidey.

I think the tie in thing is probably opt in. Like Ryan north loves the war of the realms thing and Loki is a significant character in his run, so when they threw the idea out there he probably jumped in board himself.

Issue #1 is 72 pages though. Issue #2 is 40. This is 2019 excess.

I'm betting they were originally going to try for weekly on this but decided to clear the deck for Marvel #1000.

Side note: How many of the top 10 does Marvel grab in August? At least 7-8 right?

No Skottie Deadpool, makes sense since he said he was leaving but looks like they'll save the next series till post House/Powers which is weird, he hasn't really done shit with the X Men in years.

Shuri is gone too but BP is back on Earth and her series becomes moot now.

I see the software update notification now lol.

BC posted a follow up article regarding Tom King. Sounds like the higher ups really didn't like his run. Bob Harris named as one. Said it's not what they want on the actual flagship book. The sales drop was just the excuse they needed.

But they say he can wrap up his story in the Catwoman book or a mini lol.

Bendis will probably take over at #100. The rumored Ellis/Hitch story might fill the gap from then till #100.

Remember the time Harras shielded a man harassing women for years if not decades, punished the victims, only got rid of the dude when major media picked up on the story(and it was the higher ups who made the decision), and never even commented or on it?

Of course it was a higher up the one who wanted this ugggh (And Bob Harras from all people, of course).

Hopefully the internet reaction makes them change their mind and let King finish his run. Even without all the problems I really enjoy it!

Maybe King should do a Hellblazer run. I would read that.

That would be cool. I've always wanted to read a more modern Hellblazer book. The original run just seems so daunting to me lol. Although, I would want something longer than just 12 issues.

That wont change their minds. It will probably be finished, just in a separate title. My main takeaway is that this wouldnt have been an issue if it was on any other book other than the main Batman book. Had King been writing Tec this whole time, he would have been able to finish no problem.

Honestly WCA is more of a Hawkeye & Friends book. And Gwenpool in that series is weird cause like 60% of the time she's Harley-lite and the rest of the time she's... normal? It's a bummer cause she loses her powers which sucks, but she also dates Quentin Quire and surprisingly that relationship works very well
I'd say that if you just want Gwenpool, skip it, unless you want more Hawkeye

The problem with Bleeding Cool is that I'm gonna believe any story that hinges on the fact Bob Harras is a total piece of shit, because by almost all accounts ever he is a total piece of shit. That part is always gonna be accurate.

There's something incredibly depressing about that Spider-Man Life Story cover, the last one.
