    Pretty much all of those things are good you just don't like them

    Apart from supercrooks which doesn't count

    You're really saying Gischler's X-Men and Deadpool are good?

    and I didn't say they were bad, there is a difference between "not firing on all cylinders" and "terrible poopcomics"

    I would agree with this except I am reading Alpha and Omega and the only reason I am still reading it is because I would feel bad taking it off my pull list.

    I actually like Alpha and Omega

    but then I like Quentin Quire and I think a lot of people don't? or something

    I think Alpha and Omega is a fine story

    but it should not be a 5 issue mini what the hell

    3 issues, max. It is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

    No, but he did write Supermarket, which was my introduction to comics not written by the big 2.

    Man I like Bendis stories

    I have no problem with decompressed storytelling

    and Alpha and Omega is paced like it is a 7 hour Lifetime original movie

    nothing is fucking happening

    #1 set up a situation

    and there was a little change at the end of #3 with Quentin entering the construct

    but really, this would have been one issue back during Claremont's run. One!

    Speaking of Brian Wood everyone says I need to read Northlanders and DMZ. Northlanders sounds interesting to me but I'll pass on DMZ.

    Yeah well Chris Claremont is a crazy, dirty old man and what does he know

    I am enjoying Alpha and Omega and there is nothing anyone can do about it! NOTHING! HAHAHAHAAAA!

    Northlanders is very good. I highly recommend the first trade: Sven the Returned. It is 6-7 issues for 10 bucks.

    I really like the early bits of DMZ, that focused on a lot of world-building. The few most recent TPBs I read, that actually tried to advance the overall plot, didn't do much for me.

    If you've never read Demo, New York Four, New York Five, or Local, you probably should, though. Because they're pretty awesome.

    Really? Better than Venom/Hulk Spirit of Vengance?

    I liked Circle of Four, but wasn't wowed by it. And I feel like I could have skipped all the .1 issues and been just fine understanding the story.

    Well, yeah. You read it so you're awesome.

    Supermarket was actually one of the books that got me back into comics. It's like an awesome pill that makes you awesome. Or adds to previously existing awesome.

    The current stuff looks great, I really need to catch up already. I'm still stuck in the middle of The Gauntlet.

    Can anyone point out any side stories or crossovers from the last couple years I should really watch for? I know there's a little bit of Fantastic Four crossover and it looks like there's a lot with Spider Island. Kinda hoping I can pass on things aside from whats in ASM there for my wallet's sake.

    Other than the 3 venom issues all the spider island stuff is passable. Spider-Man joined the F4 when it became the FF, the FF book aint really essential to spider-man though.

    I didn't think most of the side stuff from Spider Island was necessary to your comprehension besides the stuff over in Venom. As for the FF stuff none of it seem particularly needed for understanding the main ASM story line beyond reinforcing the fact that Peter is freakin tired these days do to his schedule. Between the end of the Gauntlet and up thorugh Spider Island I can't think of any side stuff that was particularity important to the main story line. Unless you care about Spider-Mans side story in Fear Itself.

    Spider Island Avengers, wasn't nessecary and is mostly stand alone if you knw about the theme to Spider Island, but it was also really fun, Hawkeye trying to deal with Spider-powers and also had Frogman!

    On the Fantastic Four side, the only other series to worry about is FF, as the main title changed to that for a bit, then they became side by side titles somewhat, Spidey was only really there in early FF and the issue 600 of Fantastic iirc.

    Also fair warning, if you let yourself get even a little sucked in to Hickman's run, you will not escape probably.

    Frogman absolutely kicking ass to the amazement of Ms Marvel was a moment of triumph

    Man, this week's Avenging Spider-Man looks great. It brings back Captain America's history as a cartoonist, which I love.

    Cap throwing away the newspaper in shame is so sad.

    Made me cry all over my liberty bonds.

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Captain America's history as a comic artist is a wonderful, wonderful thing

    a lot of the heroes who we love in comics probably don't read comics, you know?

    the fact that Cap is a comic fan and artist as well as a big name hero just, I dunno

    it makes it seem like if you met him, you could talk about that. You'd be friends.

    And that is great

    It's why I like that Fraction made Danny Rand a comic fan too

    also one who was dismayed when that reality wave made all his comics grim and dark

    Danny Rand is a man of the people!

    Thanks for the advise everyone. I'll be sure to check out Venom's Spider Island issues at the very least.

    Anyway, its good to be back. I think I already have a new favorite costume variation.

    the spider island HC actually has all the venom issues included in it so you wouldn't have to worry hunting them down
