Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)
Doom spent 8 years forcing the premature collapse of the multiverse. During the murder of infinite Earths, he collected/preserved fractured shreds of those Earths he demolished, and finally built himself "Battleworld" from those bibs and bobs, as well as most of 616 and 6160 that were there at the end.
This is why there are multiple conflicting versions of most of Marvel's popular characters splayed across the zones of Battleworld, and how Inferno, Civil War and Days of Future Past can coexsist with the Marvel Zombies and a mechanoworld where Ultron won.
Basically, Marvel can presently publish any old nonsensical rot right now, and not care about the consequences or continuity.
He doesn't care about characters, or a coherent story. Like I said, Hickman is basically the worst parts of Grant Morrison, without the flashes of excellence Morrison periodically has.
Wow, that is very, very wrong. From Suicide Squad to Secret Six to The thunderbolts to Sandman, I love a lot of very imperfect heroes and villains (and characters who are neither) in very morally grey worlds. I mean, yeah, Reed Richards and Iron Man shouldn't be planning to murder worlds to save their own, and The avengers shouldn't be allowing mass murderers to join their team, but not everyone needs to be a boy scout (although I like those kinds of characters, too). What I like is storytelling that isn't written like the writer is in a fever dream, and characters you at least don't loathe.
I've read a good deal of "complicated" stories. Hickman's is just convoluted garbage. There is a difference. But, it doesn't really effect me. If you want to read Hickman's stuff, have fun. I prefer Avengers books that are competently written, which compared to Hickman or Rick Remender's runs is basically every other avengers book ever. I really don't feel like arguing about it anymore.
