Just thought I'd mention some thoughts about how I feel about what's going on in Marvel these days...
I hate Captain America. Never thought it would ever happen, but I hate the damn Nazi scum.
Riri Williams is so super generic and boring. Calling the book INVINCIBLE IRON MAN is stupid. It should be called INVINCIBLE IRONHEART, but then no one would buy it if if had the title otherwise, would they? It's good that Bendis is doing her backstory, but then it doesn't really matter since she's dull as dishwater, and I don't want to read what will likely be a 6-10 issue origin story.
NIGHTHAWK is extremely well-done, but POWER MAN & IRON FIST is horrible. OCCUPY AVENGERS, I hope, will be good, as I like the idea of Hawkeye and Red Wolf as a team. A sort of modern day Power Man and Iron Fist.
Looks like Gwen Stacy is back among the living in THE CLONE CONSPIRACY. Haven't started it yet, but I am excited to see Gwendy again. And with Peter and MJ no longer married, she and Peter could hook up again, with plenty of conflict for them, as she blames Spider-Man for the death of her father. And maybe she's a bit miffed about Peter's role in her demise as well?
Magneto may not be the father of Wanda and Pietro anymore, but he still has two kids out there somewhere. Cullen Bunn says he wants to do a story about it eventually, but we'll see.
It sucks that MOCKINGBIRD has been cancelled. It's such a well-written book. Very quirky and filled with history. However, with the character's TV pilot not being picked up, and with her not a part of AGENTS OF SHIELD, it's little wonder it's gone.
WORLD OF WAKANDA. (shakes head)
Hopefully MOSAIC will be good. I need another Inhuman book now that ALL-NEW INHUMANS is gone. But we'll see.
Can't wait to start PROWLER and SOLO. Two underdog books for me, although I heard SOLO has already been cancelled with #5. Pretty foolish to cancel something when only two issues have come out so far. Each new book should get at least 8 issues before cancellation to give books a chance to find their audience. But then, a lot of readers write books off after one issue because they don't wait to see how things go. Some books take more than one issue to decide on.
Interesting thoughts, but I still think you're jumping the gun on Captain Steve. I'm sure we'll find out its a double-or-triple cross on his part, despite what the writer has said (he can't spoil things ya know!)
ReplyDeleteOh, he'll ultimately get his history changed back by Kobik, but until then, he's pure Nazi, just with his own agenda now. He hates the Red Skull, but he's in with Zemo. In any case, I read him in UNCANNY AVENGERS and he's a huge two-faced bastard in this book. He just broke up the Unity Squad because Cable and Rogue have their own missions to find a cure for the Terrigen Mists because he won't do anything about it, but the joke is on him because Cable is going to take over the team and they are going to operate without him, ha!
