Asteroid M? Is that like Planet P?

I would have been more than okay with that. Well, except for his Rogue. Didn't much care for the perpetual rage machine she was during his UA
Magneto's space base. Got blown up during Morrison's run and I don't know if it's come back.
Pretty sure Asteroid M came back as Utopia
It would be interesting to see how Spencer handled a Spider-Man book.
I'm pretty confident Remender hated Cyclops lol.

Ok, so he used his mouth to flick his thumb. I thought he bit it. I couldn't tell from the manga.
Still badass.
Wait. Why doesn't Nico have her metal arm?
Maybe this is picking up between Runaways v3 and Avengers Arena (which would also put Victor back in play)/

Kind of random question, but has Checkmate shown up in the Rebirth universe yet? Sasha Bordeaux? Or was that last Checkmate reboot so much Rucka's baby that nobody else wants to touch it?

So I just started this. What is it even going on? And why is it this long?

Sasha is a recurring character in Wonder Woman Rebirth. Also, Maxwell Lord was the main antagonist in the Justice League versus Suicide Squad crossover.

Think they've mentioned they're pretty much going to ignore everything since Avengers Arena.
Rainbow said she read it though.
Apparently he was meant to be on Extraordinary X-Men and that team would be the one still on Earth while all the other mutants were on another planet or moon or something because of the Terrigen Mist.

They also explain what happened to Checkmate too.

*no, but, for reals, why is maximus such a dick?*
reads up on background story, learns he was always a dick, but BB drove him insane

TIL Inhumans have only very goddamn recently stopped being slavers.

Like conceptually, or actually Asteroid M?
Probably would have done an X-Force with Cable ranting about how Scott's a shitty dad.

The inhumans suck. Reminder that they convinced Ben Grimm that Lockjaw could talk and shook his understanding of them just as a joke.

Originally that character was supposed to be Actual Princess Diana and they really emphasized that in the promotion but then British tabloids raised a huff about it so Marvel got scared and nixed the story so it ended up being rewritten.

I like Injection a lot but it's SOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOW. It's taking decompression to some scary extremes.

I've read up through issue 7 of Black Hammer, which is amazing, including the annual, which is extra amazing.

In interviews in early 2015, Remender said that he would be taking over a major Marvel franchise post-Secret Wars. He never confirmed that was EXM, but there haven't been any rumors to the contrary, either.

Black Hammer is that good, huh? What's it basically about?
I haven't read it in a while, but it's golden age heroes brought to a new world and having to deal with the consequences of it as they adapt.
I already have the issues so I might as well catch up now.

I have to say, I'm a bit surprised by how much I love it.
Partly it's a case of art and writing matching well. The old-timey colouring and the sketch-y pencils. Partly I think it's a writer channeling his strengths though intriguing concepts. At its foundation, it's part mystery, part character study. Silver age type heroes sent out to pasture, like, literally. I find the world immersive, and the screwball group of characters, charming.

Black Hammer is somewhere between deconstruction and playing the heroes straight, and it really works.

Sounds like a lot of non big two comics that deals with Superheroes then.

Yeah, but it doesn't really lose merit based on that. Hell, tons of classics fall into that category.

So I bought a set of the DC Deck Building game, and it seems cool.
Oh so THAT'S what Utopia is.
Sick.
Yeah the Alpha Primitives thing is...complicated...

Also, I wonder whats supposed to be in the Marvel Legacy OHC. Its 512 pages. Gonna preorder it anyway, cause its right now at 33€
Also, looks like Fall of Parker is gonna be a three issue arc - the Vol. 7 trade only collects the Secret Empire Tie In + #789, #790 and #791.
I wonder why. Maybe because they dont want the next trade to have mixed writers?
Also, Captain America: The Adventures of Captain America by Fabian Nicieza gets a rerelease. Normally, that means that the current published will somehow tie into that story... Any interesting tibits about that book?

Dan Slott doesn't do long arcs. Don't expect anything longer than four issues outside of the big spider-events
Adventures of Captain America is a retelling of his origin.

One of the best parts about Mike Carey is he doesn't write anything that's non-canon.

Managed to see homecoming over the weekend and got to say the nailed it, was a great film. Tom Holland is a great spider-man, manages to do that nervous self deprecating humour better than Andrew Garfield and possibly even Maguire. Also liked how he was still starting up and learning to be spider-man with all the funny mistakes that entails. Was funny pretty much all the way through. Plus they made a version of vulture where the suit was actually damn cool which I never thought they'd manage in a movie version.
Only complaint I'd have was
Makes me wonder with the success homecoming is having whether they'll try and launch another high school spider man series. I know they have miles man, but that doesn't have the associated parker name and the new peter parker spider man series has him at his current older age.
Only complaint I'd have was
that they went too overboard on his spider suit tech, gets to a point if you have so many gadgets your pretty much just another iron man. Though I give them a bit of lee way as they used it as part of the story where the point was is he still spider man without all the gadgets starks given him.

I'm hoping following from the
end bit where he kind of distances himself from stark and the avengers a bit they'll tone down the tech suit stuff in the future
