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

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Wow Uncanny Avengers is just bad. The interaction of the characters is handled poorly and the Red Skull, well maybe the writer should have done some research on the guy. Just way off from what a Skull just awakened from WWII would be like.

Rick Remender really hasn't written anything spectacular since his Dark Angel Arc on X-Force. He is one of these one trick ponies. However if you want truly terrible on both the art and writing front, I'd recommend his first issue of Captain America. It's the only book where he uses spousal abuse as a building character moment.

For those of you that have been hearing the buzz about Matt Fraction's Hawkeye and have been thinking of picking it up, this week's issue #7 is the issue to try.

Not because it's a fun issue, even though it is. Two stories, one focusing on Clint and the other on Kate, set during Hurricane Sandy and it's aftermath. Both stories of heroes performing heroics and people coming together in desperate times. A very good read.

No, the reason to buy this particular issue is that Matt Fraction is donating all of his bonuses and sales incentives from this issue to Hurricane Sandy relief. Well done, Matt! :)

With the decreased number of hours that I'm currently working, I really shouldn't risk taking a chance that I'll end up wanting to add to the number of titles that I'm reading... but I did indeed purchase Hawkeye #7 due to Fraction's decision to donate his royalties.

The critical love that the book has been getting certainly didn't hurt my decision to buy it, either. I haven't read it yet, but probably will tomorrow night after work.

As for Superior Spider-Man #2 - Slott and Stegman are just killing right now. This is damn good Spidey.
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Superior Spider-Man is simply glorious! Slott is writing a masterpiece right now. I just became a huge Carlie Cooper fan again! ;)
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Next week's previews courtesy of CBR...

For me, All-New X-Men #7, Avengers #5, Avengers Assemble Annual #1 (Featuring the Vision!), Fearless Defenders #1 (Picking up for the continuing adventures of Dani Moonstar, even though she won't appear until issue 2), Hit-Girl 2 #5 (Last issue!), Iron Man #6 and New Avengers #3

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

So, now that Marvel Now! is in full swing, what does your Marvel pull-list look like? Here is mine...

Uncanny X-Men
All-New X-Men
(It seems that one or the other of the above will always be double shipping, so they count as three.)
Avengers (twice monthly)
New Avengers
Young Avengers
Iron Man
Fantastic Four
FF
Daredevil
Hawkeye
Indestructable Hulk
Savage Wolverine
Fearlless Defenders

That's at least fifteen regular pulls every month for me, depending on shipping schedules. That doesn't take into account minis or one-shots or events (Such as the upcoming 10-part "Age of Ultron" which I will be buying as well).
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

In for the long haul:
Thor: God of Thunder
Superior Spider-Man
Deadpool
All-New X-Men
Indestructible Hulk
Hawkeye

Going to pick up the first issue and decide:
Uncanny X-Men
Guardians of the Galaxy
Secret Avengers


Tried and dropped:
Iron Man
Captain America
Avengers
Uncanny Avengers
Savage Wolverine

I've mostly been a DC guy for quite a while. I've only really started getting back in to Marvel through NOW. I guess their strategy is working.
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

i think its easier for me list what i'm not reading. not reading X-Men Legacy, Deadpool, Thunderbolts. all the other Marvel Now titles i'm going to stick with for at least six or seven more issues and decide.
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

After an initial binge of both Marvel and DC titles when I decided to get back into comics, I've since scaled back my reading list from both companies quite a bit.

From Marvel:

  • Punisher: War Zone (one issue to go)
  • All-New X-Men
  • Uncanny X-Men (likely but not guaranteed)
  • Superior Spider-Man
  • Avenging Spider-Man (might not buy every single month)
From DC's New 52:

  • Batman
  • either Nightwing or Batgirl (to be decided after "Death of the Family")
  • possibly get caught up on & then keep Earth 2
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Marvel books I'm reading and enjoying:

-Avenging Spider-Man
-Superior Spider-Man
-Wolverine and the X-Men
-Uncanny X-Force
-Indestructible Hulk
-Avengers
-New Avengers
-Daredevil
-Deadpool
-Thunderbolts
-Thor: God of Thunder
-Captain America
-Captain Marvel
-FF
-Scarlet Spider
-Ultimate Comics Spider-Man
-Ultimate Comics Ultimates
-Ultimate Comics X-Men



Upcoming Releases I'll be checking out but probably won't be following:

-Uncanny X-Men (Oh dear)
-Guardians of the Galaxy
-Paul Cornell's Wolverine ongoing

Upcoming release I'll be giving a chance:

-Fearless Defenders

Upcoming release I'm most looking forward to :

-Brian Wood's female X-Men book


My Marvel pull list has increased almost 75 percent since DC's relaunch...and really this started even before the relaunch happened, but I'm reading at least triple of what I was a couple of years ago.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to read all of these regularly, but I want to at least check out 1 issue of each.
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

I have already kicked about half of Marvel to the curb because it is just horrific. Captain America, Uncanny Avengers, Thunderbolts, FF are all just unreadable. In the plus column Indestructible Hulk, All New X-men, and Superior Spiderman have all been quite good so far.
 
Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

^Which one was that Admiral?

Found Superior Spiderman 2 to be quite entertaining. A good fun read with nice action and Peter was terrific.
