This is what's so frustrating about Marvel. Spider-Woman had a weak opening that tied into the Spiderverse event, and a weak ending that tied into the Secret Wars event. The middle part was a fun comic.

Two things etc?

To be fair, there are pyramids located in Egypt.

If I wanted to know what a bunch of idiotic racists think, I'd watch the GOP debates.

Yeah - I'm guessing a lot of Internet sites just don't have copy editors? But even books seem to be getting sloppier. [Former copy editor as well!]

I liked his work on Black Panther.

And really, it's a sitcom … relationships are the bread and butter. A show like Friends of Frasier only mentioned dating or relationships about 50x per episode.

I picked up Monstress yesterday but just started reading it. It's insanely gorgeous.

I like that they're calling it THE SOUTHERN WALL, with an implication that we'll also build walls to the North, East, and West.

Yes, and there are scores of them.

I feel that way about a lot of coloring these days, but then you also have people like Laura Allred doing amazing work.

I much preferred Garry Brown's art, it fit the noir-ish feel of the book.

That's a really interesting point! … and, this is probably a case of "the things from your childhood are the best things," but that seems like the sweet spot. Longer story arcs that can have actual depth, enough shared universe to be fun, but without the constant cross-overs, Big Events, retcons, reboots, un-reboots,…

I just realized that Paris Hilton is Trump's perfect running mate.

And there's maybe a distinction between in-title continuity and shared-universe continuity? When I was growing up in the 70s/80s, it seemed like you could read a couple of titles and get up to speed on each one pretty quickly.

Thanks for the warning. Ares burning people's flesh off and Decay turning people old was already kind of intense!

Finally a comic book development that Fox News can get behind!

I don't really care about X-Men or Inhumans per se, but … isn't the "Terrigen creates Inhumans" plotline just making the Inhumans into de facto mutants? I don't mean in terms of licensing, but their role in the Marvel universe.

I think because it's a community of nerds who like comic books, not a community of comic book nerds. If that makes any sense.

Sam WIlson Captain America #1 - Picked this up (along with #2) based on AVClub recommendation - it's pretty good! I like the art.
