The .1 issues for ASM are good. I would just wait for the trade at this point though.Superman #11 - I feel like this one was alright? It was nice seeing Superman deal with shit - I liked his polite request for the Thanagarians to stand down. Plot is still absolutely boring but I love Bendis Superman as a character.
Batman #71 - I get why people are tired of this plot but I like Batman thinking he's a nut and acting like it. There's no way for this to be resolved in a satisfactory manner, and the dialogue is a bit phoned in. But it's fun.
War of the Realms #4 - Good stuff - we're finally cooking. Odin's fancy armor, he and Freya's final stand with the Black Bifrost, the whole "gathering of the troops" scene and Thor suiting up again... that's the big stuff I was waiting for. Can't wait to see it all wrap up!
Guardians of the Galaxy #5 - Wow, definitely did not see that coming. Having Thanos back so fast takes some of the wind out of his death, but I assume there's a twist there. Really glad that Hela plot thread that Aaron established is getting some good payoff!
Amazing Spider-Man #21 - Boy this one was a downer. Really liked the exploration of Lizard's inner turmoil... and the general continuity thread. Wishing I picked up the X.1 issues, though.
Immortal Hulk #17 - I don't even know what to say about this one that isn't reductive. It's great, loved Joe, and that one page was the best kind of crazy.
The real reason Marvel issues are 50% off on CMX.
Jesus fucking Christ why is Superman still fighting Rooper Zoop and dealing with the DARK HISTORY OF KRYPTON and EVIL JOR-EL
Yea normally I would say the same about not taking it so literally. Just feels like something is different with this, but maybe its because of all the theories around it.I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I did notice Hickman said "universe" in the article and I figured it probably shouldn't be taken so literally.
Stranger stuff has happened though. Obviously Hickman wrote the lions share of the good Ultimate universe stuff and this relaunch really does sound like everything in an imprint launch short of actually doing that.

Oh yea, that is a good idea. It would give the X books more free reign, without having to deal with whatever else is happening. I just feel like they loose alot by going this direction. Like the interactions with other heroes and their respective villains. Not that that happens all the time. I just worry itll make the X-Men universe or whatever feel too small.No, it differently is pretty different from any relaunch before. Like I keep saying, it really feels like an imprint is being launched and Sandfox is right: That might be exactly what it is.
SDCC will be very interesting.
Spiderman: Life Story is a legendary goddamned comic. If this doesn't get talked about for the next decade before it gets a film adaptation, I'd be shocked.
This thing is BRILLIANT.
We know Matteo Loli is working on one of the X-books and I'm guessing Ramos and Skottie Young will have books as well since the both of them left their previous books for new projects..
What an unfortunate last name.
I khow skottie doesn't just do chibi, but all I remember him for is chibi
I would be fine with Young depending on what he's doing.
Okay, but when I see you mentioning hot up-and-coming artist Francois Hentai, we're gonna revisit this.
That would be cool.Skottie Young doing an X-Babies book I bet. There was a Havok X-Baby on that poster.
Yep.Didnt Young just write a horrible Deadpool follow up to Duggan's that was cancelled?
According to Young Deadpool ended because he pitched a big project to Marvel with one of his favorite artists and he made the call to drop Deadpool because it was taking up too much of his time.Didnt Young just write a horrible Deadpool follow up to Duggan's that was cancelled?
Ramos was great on Extraordinary X-Men.
After today, I'm convinced that Rosenberg is intentionally writing a bad book. There's no way this can be a sincere effort.
It's not out yet. Comes out in September or thereabouts. Complete Collections are bulkier trade collections than the normal volumes. The first one came out in September 2018. These kinda take Marvel a while to get out.On ComiXology I was looking up Hickman's FF and they have this collection:
Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman: The Complete Collection vol 1
Is there no vol 2?

He's the Brooklyn Brawler of X-men writers.

They generally do these releases after the omnibus is out. They basically chop up the omnibus into smaller releases for people who find the omnibus volumes too unweildy.Just grabbed this! Super glad they're doing these. It's like three trades worth of issues if anyone is curious.
