    Here's a tip: Sometimes, if you're trying to find something on the website and not having much luck, try just Googling it instead. Often the Marvel Unlimited content will be one of the first results.

    Like so:

    Block Mania and The Apocalypse War are incredible stories with amazing art.

    It's the story that allegedly turned Mike MacMahon off any story with crowd scenes because he drew so many. They're superb, though.

    So what exactly does the diamond distribution mean in the future, when they come back are they just going to have a backlog of comics to ship out? Do you think they'd do it all at once, or do a staggered release until they're all caught up. I can't imagine Marvel just stops making new comics, but I guess they're going to be digital only? I asked my local comic book shop guy and he wasn't super sure what would happen. I'm not sure if I wasn't asking the right questions or what, no new physical comics this next Wednesday right but digital comics are still coming?

    Bandai's gonna not only release a figure based on Toei's Spider-Man in August but they'll also be releasing a set in September that'll have a transformable Leopardon, a mini-Spidey with Spider-Machine and for the first time a wearable copy of the Spider-Bracelet, the device which both transforms Takuya Yamashiro into Spider-Man and summons Leopardon.

    This is fantastic news.

    As far as I can tell, Marvel hasn't made a statement. It's going to be hell on local stores if Marvel goes ahead and releases stuff digitally.

    The final piece of MUA3 DLC has released, it's a post-game story where you fight against Doctor Doom alongside the F4.
    In the patch released along with it, you also are able to try out part of the new campaign for free, along with new limited-time event content, a higher level cap, and new unlockable costumes and voice lines.

    I've finished my full rewatch of X-Men Evolution, after putting off the finale for a couple of weeks.

    Still the best adaptation of the X-Men, honestly by a fairly significant margin. There's a lot to like in the movies and in The Gifted and in the Wolverine and the X-Men show, but Evolution is a big part of the reason I fell in love with the X-Men, and it does such a good job with their soapy nonsense.

    The fourth season is still the worst, but the finale was a lot better than I remembered it being. The little montage at the end of potential paths for the show to take for a fifth season that will never happen is both delightful and heartbreaking - I would love to see a version of the New Mutants or the Dark Phoenix Saga, even if I don't entirely know how successful the show would have been at doing them.

    Probably gonna be later than that

    So far Dark Horse is the first publisher to confirm but they are freezing all releases until Diamond is back, not even digital releases.

    Marvel has said they are working on a "large scale solution" but specified it is with Diamond so I am skeptical they aren't gonna do the damn thing and cut them out

    Either way, comics ain't coming out for a few months at least

    1000000%

    A retailer in California responded to an interview saying HEY THEY SHOULD STILL DO DIGITAL AND MAYBE DO A COMBO WHERE THEY PROVIDE A VOUCHER FOR A PHYSICAL COPY WHEN SHIT SETTLES and he immediately got dogpiled by dozens of other shop owners

    I would...wait to see if Marvel or DC do, honestly

    Dark Horse is pretty tiny, ultimately

    DC just confirmed that their OGNs will continue to get distributed to bookstores as they go through Random House, not Diamond

    That tweet has, IMO, aged poorly (and was never great to begin with).
    Here's what I read:
    A world cries out in fear, praying, begging for someone to save them.
    Heroes - ones you know - try.
    Heroes fail. Heroes die.
    Hope dies.
    Everything dies, in fear and darkness.
    No one is saved. No one.

    That's a pretty common trope in superhero comics. A hero/team/world/universe/whatever is destroyed to show the badassery of the villain.

    I loved that part in Immortal Hulk where Puck talks about how since Alpha Flight gets murdered every Tuesday, the members quickly learn not to get hung up on mourning a teammate's death unless they're absolutely positively for realsies certain they won't be back by next week.

    I finally sat down and watched Dark Phoenix.

    It wasn't half as bad as I'd been led to believe. Like, it has a lot of issues, pretty much any of the issues that are endemic to the X-Men movies or to superhero movies as a whole are present there.

    But I still also found a lot to like about it? I like the X kids (well, X twenty somethings here) still, and I wish they got to be as much of the focus as they deserve to be.
