Marvel All New, All Different - Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Agreed, though I miss the days when Beast was a good guy.

 

He sees himself as a realist. After Genosha, well…

 

Avengers Mech Strike really was pretty bad. I'm trying to decide if I really expected otherwise.

And I still haven't tried again to read X of Swords and am therefore getting even further behind on the mutant stuff.

 

Just got round to United States of Captain America.

Jeez, the writing for the main strip is pretty poor, but the backup strips really are amateur hour.

I didn't like Ta-Nehisi Coates recent run very much, but come back, all is forgiven !

 

Well, at least you read unlike a lot of critics.

 

Penguin Classics is going to be releasing a series of classic Marvel comics in the style of their classic books, with forewords by young adult author, and a scholarly introduction.
The first set of books will be Black Panther, Capt. America, and The Amazing Spider-Man, and they'll be released June 14, 2022.

 

Took a bit of a break and catching up on some of the stuff leading to Devils Reign. DD is one book I'm enjoying at the moment, and I've never been that big a DD fan.

P.S. Wow, I was pretty happy to see Slott's Iron Man run end, but you really should be careful what you wish for...

Edit : Anyone know what Marvels planning for their teen characters ? Runaways, Champions, Riri, Miss Marvel, they've all gone AWOL. Is there anything in the pipeline ?

A new Miss Marvel MCU show would suggest there is.

 

I swore I saw something about a new Champions series on the Marvel website, but I looked through their comics news yesterday, and I couldn't find anything, so maybe not.
America Chavez just got a miniseries that ended in August, and I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up somewhere around the time Multiverse of Madness comes out.
Riri Williams is also going to be in both Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and her own Disney+ show, so she should probably show up somewhere later this year too.

 

Thanks !

I'm reading The Mighty Valkyries at the moment and...absolutely loving it !

 

I'm a little confused, Marvel just announced a new Thunderbolts team, but most of the characters on the team are already heroes. I thought the whole idea behind the Thunderbolts was that they were basically Marvel's Suicide Squad, with them all being former villains now going good, but this new team includes characters like Hawkeye (Barton), Spectrum, and America Chavez, who are all heroes.

 

Yeah, kind of betrays the concept. Villains pretending to be heroes and then villains becoming heroes.

 

Hawkeye led the thunderbolts yonks ago.

The Avengers sued the Great Lakes Avengers for theft of likeness.

If Jarvis tells Clint to quit it with building Avengers outlet after Avengers outlet... At least this is a name he has some familiarity with.

 

I'm still getting the main X-Men book to see how the Cyclops/Ben Eurich stuff pans out, but otherwise - with Hickman done with Inferno and stepping back - I cancelled my orders for the other X books. My wallet has thanked me.

 

Where is Jono going next?

A drive by on Moon Knight.

Just a mini, and a lot of people are doing Moon Knight to capitalize on the Disney + series.

 

I notice that "lives of Wolverine" has brought back the idea that Black Widow is about 90 or so - something that was soft retconned out a few years ago.

 

Well, tried and failed to read X of Swords again - what is that, three or four attempts ? My last attempt, certainly.

Bailed and headed straight to the final 'Destruction' issue and will try to catch up with the mutant books from there...

 

And I didn't.

However, the dire X of Swords having been skipped, I'm really rather enjoying the spread of post Swords mutant books, and even quite liked Cable.

Which surprised the hell out of me.
