    Stuck in his hand like Logan's (ha!) Run?
    Or is he just holding it?

    Actually
    he has all 6 of the stones, and each stone has been made into a coating for one of his claws.
    You have my attention.

    Okay so
    one hand has the Soul, Mind, and Reality gems. If you get slashed by those claws your entire existence is erased from reality, and even your soul is destroyed. On the other hand (heh) if you get cut by the other set of claws that have the Power, Time, and Reality gems your essence gets exploded across all of time and space simultaneously. Also Wolverine totally beats up Thanos and steals his space chair.

    What does Wolverine need with a space chair?

    Wolverine spends an issue queueing at the DMV and filling out forms to get his drivers license back. Surprisingly there is actually a form for "I was dead for a couple of years and am now alive again due to [SELECT AS APPROPRIATE] A) Mysterious Reasons B) Time Travel C) Scarlet Witch D) The Dead party was my Alternate Universe Doppelgänger E) Other [PLEASE USE THE SPACE PROVIDED]"

    Jean Grey has her own separate set of forms

    I'm imagining this done as a Pixar style short and picturing the next scene where the agent has to call over a supervisor because the year of birth field says 1848.

    Seems like all of the Avengers books are crossing over, and it also seems like Jane Thor is sticking around for a while. Also that Voyager character they teased is there. I'm intrigued.

    I'm cool with Mephisto cracking jokes sometimes because I like a smarmy Satan but this is like 6 bridges too far

    I am baffled because I constantly see writers and comics folks I like say IIM is one of their favorite books right now but everything I read of it and have seen of it looks like garbage

    Idk, I thought this was really funny

    My problem is that this doesn't feel like Mephisto. No, this is Bendis himself stopping the action so that he can walk out and spend an entire page talking at the reader.

    I've said it before but i'll repeat it one more time
    The fact that we got Logan, a story about everything good about Wolverine's legacy being passed down to Laura as she banishes the last vestiges of it's horror from the earth, earning all this buzz and praise and deservedly so

    And then Marvel chooses to lean away from the comics reflecting that

    That's a metaphor and a fuckin half i tell you what
    Yes. It was a beautiful story because it was an ending for the character, which is a rare and wonderful thing in comics (and comics-related media).

    And Marvel is now busily demonstrating why that's so, digging up the corpse and shocking it back to life so it can go for another run and make them more money. (Sounds hellish, doesn't it?)

    Tom Brevoort says Dan Slott and Jason Aaron are staying on ASM and Thor, and that their departures are "a ways off".

    Dan Slott will have been writing Amazing Spider-Man for ten years next year.

    Remember when Slott's ideas for Spider-Man where at least an interesting take on the character we hadn't seen before

    Now all i want is to never read another story about Peter running a vaguely defined science enterprise ever again

    Weirdly, from the issues I read of the new run, he's being more like Deadpool. In that he basically just started giving the Spider-man gig to other people a lot of the time.

    It looks like three: Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, and USAvengers, and the ad there credits the writers of those three books.

    The gist of what I've seen has the frame story be Avengers BC with
    Wolverine's resurrection coming from that
    with little glimpses of other stories from around the MU that pop up in Legacy to set up other storylines.

    Laura never got her due. Her series has been great, and she would be a better foil for every team book over Old Man Logan but nope. Gotta go with the old character

    It's funny they included Cap as part of that statue seeing as by the time he joined, the Hulk bailed on the group.

    Probably Mosaic though I'm hoping it's actually the Living Lightning seeing he was an Avenger.
