steve Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I just started Original Sin. I'm a sucker for stuff like Sam being friends with Uatu. Sucks what the event is about, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Looks like there will be an america chavez book. No creative team announced except mckelvie doing covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Be interesting to see how it competes with the America Vasquez title from Casey/Dragotta. It's kinda funny how bitter they are about America breaking out under different writers, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I hated her original appearance by Casey/Dragotta. Not sure sure why, but she works much better for me in Young Avengers and Ultimates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Looked forward to The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows ongoing since it was annnounced with the OGN, this series written by GERRY CONWAY and art by Ryan Stegman. Check the preview out: http://comicvine.gamespot.com/articles/first-look-spider-man-renew-your-vows-1/1100-156117/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I'm not super comfortable with the back up story in Clone Conspiracy, by the way. I understand it's there to give closure but it's making the mess hidden in the closet far messier and very in the open in order to clean it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the spoiler as I dropped The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 4) #6, should have ages ago. Feel like you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Miller Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Really enjoyed Jessica Jones #1, a nice reset back to the original status quo of the early days of Alias, which is still one of my favorite runs in the post-modern era. Spoiler Danis is "missing" with the implication that Jessica gave her up for adoption. I was kind of worried when they announced the title, as "Jessica Jones: Foul Mouthed, Single Mom, Private Eye" isn't something I really wanted to read.

Jerome Miller Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Sales on Mockingbird at my local comic shop had gotten so bad that the owner stopped putting it on the shelf beginning with issue four. He only ordered it for subscribers. I had completely forgotten it existed until Twitter blew up yesterday with news of its cancelation. Hopefully this will allow Bobbi and Peter to hook up in Slott's Spider-Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm not surprised Mockingbird got cancelled, but I'm disappointed. It's been easily a top 5 series for Marvel the whole time it's been out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the fact they aren't even waiting for the first TPB to hit the sales chart tells me that even on the digital front the sales have been really bad. Here's the traditional comic book sales via Comics Beat: Quote 157- MOCKINGBIRD 03/16- Mockingbird #1 - 42,335 04/16 Mockingbird #2 - 32,965 (-22.1%) 05/16 Mockingbird #3 - 21,912 (-33.6%) 06/16 Mockingbird #4 - 15,975 (-27.2%) 07/16 Mockingbird #5 - 15,290 (- 4.3%) 08/16 Mockingbird #6 - 15,690 (+ 2.6%) (CV2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Last issue of Vision is both melancholy and affirming. still year's best book for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I would argue Vision has a solid argument for being one of the best Alan Moore style comics ever, possibly moreso than a lot of Moore's own work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Jesus. The art in Ultimates #12 looks unfinished in spots. Whole faces not drawn. Characters looking like blobs. It's like Ward finished the cool cosmic stuff and just gave up. Like...it takes place after the end of Civil War II. Some delays to polish that wouldn't have hurt.

twiztor Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I'm up to 1986 ibn my X-Men read thru. just finished uncanny #201, which caps off a damn good storyline. Xavier is sick and stuck in space, so Magneto now leads the teams. also read the Longshot mini (6 issues, which introduces the title character as well as Mojo). this was not at all good. the storyline itself wasn't terrible, but the pacing and dialogue was such a slog. definitely skippable.

J.H. Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Longshot is gorgeous to look at but I won't lie of having to re-rea it initally to make sure I understood it. Still a good story overall. I think the only female writer at Marvel that was better was Louise Simonson. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin877 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I really liked Nocenti and Romita Jr.'s Daredevil, there was some wild stuff for a teenager to handle when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
