Really though, what are the chances that three highly praised runs all have some kind of a big conclusion today? Multiversity, Batman, and Hickman stuff. I feel like everyone has something big to read today.
Today is the day we get to see if this is the issue where Kimber knocks Jem the fuck out.

I got the same price glitch on Amazon as well. Think my preorder price was $25ish, at that price I figure I'll at leaat make it all back if I hate it and sell it.

Just finished Batman and it was fucking great. Was the Batman stuff already spoiled in all the solicits? That kind of sucks. I don't tend to read them so I had no idea what was going to happen and was pretty impressed.

Don't get Axis. It's not good. Spiderverse was a lot of fun, I'd recommend checking it out.

Time ran out I guess.
Anyway, the real stars of this week are Secret Avengers and MTMTE.

SpiderVerse yes if you like SpiderMen. No on Axis on all fronts.

What did Doom throw at the Beyonders? Is that the fabled roof of the Baxter Building?

Only get AXIS if you're actively looking to cause yourself pain.

Charged by Gambit to explain the glow.
Nope, no idea. The page where he shows Strange what he intends to do is voluntarily opaque. The terrible effect of his plan seems predictable though, as Strange's horror indicates.
I expect a full explanation in Secret Wars. Hell, this is probably the reason something survives while everything dies.

Edit: Axis was utter shit and at least, SW will be useful to get rid of Remender's awful ideas.

Is Johns suggesting Anti Monitor used to be a New God called Mobius? It's pretty much the part I'm kinda eh on...
Not sure, though I would dig it.

That
or any kind of primeval being. I could see Johns saying he's an Old God dude or something. That's the kind of shit Johns does.
That would fly in the face of that notion I've willfully held forever that before the New Gods, the Old Gods were Asgardians.

Hey, somebody tell me if the Secret Avengers ending was as great as the rest of the run. Just kidding, I know it's going to be.

I'd kinda like it if
Anti Monitor was one of the Old Gods, from before the Fourth World...and was their version of Metron, before becoming an analogue to the Monitor and he then becomes the great destroyer...wait a sec, that's starting to sound a bit Rabum Alal-ish...

Thanks. I'm not a huge Spider-Man fan, but I heard SpiderVerse was fun. For half-off, it might be worth it.
As for Axis, I have the Uncanny Avengers omnibus and I thought Axis was the proper conclusion to the series.

So does every beloved comic book writer just keep at it long enough to be hated? It seems like everyone loved the early stuff by Bendis, Remender, Fraction, etc, but eventually come to despise them...
I'll be glad when he eventually lets Spidey break free from his grip. The dude can write but he's been on that book far too long. Let someone else have a go already.
People hate Fraction and Remender? I certainly don't

Only cynics.
No writer has truly stopped delivering great work, even if it's not as consistent as it once was. It takes a very little for a writer to trigger the Entitlement Gene in the comic reading public at large. "Why isn't this like it used to be?" "Why didn't this end the way I predicted on John Byrne's Message Board?" "Why are there female characters in comics?"
Writers don't get worse, their audience does.
