Hawkeye's final issue (22 I think?) is supposedly being shipped this month.

I read Marvel's Original Sin event, which was just as terrible as everyone had said. Boring, and filled with huge plot holes, cliches and character assassination. I'm glad I don't particularly care about Howard Stark or Nick Fury, because if I did, I'd probably be pissed.

Eh? The main character appears to be wearing armor-plated spandex/unstable molecules/whatever the Valiant equivalent is. Unless it's a robot or something, and that's its skin.

I'm assuming Wauwy isnt commenting on the actual quality of Secret Wars, just saying that events are acceptable when they don't really impact the on-going books.

Unless UKS specifically says otherwise, I'm choosing to believe your theory, because to believe the alternative pushes the show from dark to horrifying.

It was rather abrupt, and left a lot of questions unanswered. Also, I'm just not fond of the soul-mates trope, and I couldn't help rolling my eyes at two people who've really only known each other for a few hours deciding that they were always meant to be together.

I'm wary of Descender - I thought Sweet Tooth and Trillium started out fantastically, but was disappointed by both by the end.

I actually read Larfleeze because of that review, but it just didn't work for me.

…the first issue of Larfleeze was a dud. Maybe the next five are better?

Her angry delivery for the 2090 line, and when she was trying to convince Jacqueline to get divorced, was fantastic.

Because they're crazy straws, obviously. So much better than regular straws.

Legally, wrong. Morally, oh so right.

Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and
sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a
perfect immortal machine?

The villain has orchestrated an interdimensional invasion of Earth that he plans to stop on his own and then blame on Reed…

Perhaps "villain" is relative, and Dinklage plays a socially responsible CEO who provides a living wage to all employees and excellent benefits.

It came in at number 378 on the July 2014 Comichron.com sales list, with 4,600 copies sold. In other words, it sold fewer copies than the Grimm Fairy Tales Swimsuit Special 2014.

The upcoming Battleworld is just an homage to the original Secret Wars. The problem is that the original Secret Wars was developed to sell toys to 8-year olds, and since you're probably not a small child, Battleworld just sounds really stupid.

It's Warren Ellis in a bad mood, telling an alternate universe version of Marvels. It is…grim.

I'm going to assume you're referring to Eye of the Camera, instead of Ruins. Because recommending Ruins is just mean.

Perhaps Bendis will go super-meta, and Tempus will end up erasing herself and all the other new X-men from continuity, thereby saving the new writer the effort of having to dump them.
