I know my love of Millar frequently gets harsh criticism (some of which I totally get), but I would love to hear what you guys favorite writers/artists are. I love expanding my horizons and hearing other /co/mrades talk passionately about the works they love usually do a much better job than simply reading the story synopsis. Take for example, Ewing.

His start on Mighty Avengers put me off simply for Land's art alone and I didn't really take a look until the end of Captain America and the Mighty Avengers. He then swung to Loki: Agent of Asgard and the book felt like a mix of james bond, doctor who, and asgardian mythology. It was my first real introduction to the meta-textual stuff he likes incorporating and he did it in a way that was both clever and self-aware. He then went on to Ultimates and New Avengers and while I wasn't too keen on New Avengers, his Ultimates run was the bombastic cosmic comic I had been waiting for. Big ideas packaged into bite sized chunks and his love of Marvel lore made the work infinitely more enjoyable upon re-reads. I was giddy as a schoolgirl to read Ultimates Vol. 2 and I'd be lying if I didn't say US Avengrs has me grinning like an idiot while reading. The first arc with The Golden Skull was awesome and his use of LGBT characters initially seemed off putting to me but after reading their characterization and presented with their backstory I'm all for them.

Friendly bump.

My man. Sorry for not posting. Currently cleaning up a set of issues so they fit more easily on an ipad. Nothing beats having issues in your hand though, but I'm too much of a worry wart to use my physical copies for fear of damage (also I know me).

Unfriendly bump.

Has anyone here read through all of Jonathan Hickman's Secret Warriors? Trying to determine if that's the next series I should snag. I read the first two arcs and really really liked it but I haven't read the others. Any thoughts?

There was going to be a Tim Seeley written series about Blade and his daughter but it got shitcanned probably because Seeley signed an exclusive with DC and/or he's not black.

I love any and every oppurtunity to see Death's head. His entire premise is amazing. ANd it's neat to see his different interpretations throughout the years. This is perhaps one of the more subdued iterations I've seen.

>>94820436
I wish Ewing had written Sam Cap. There would still be plenty of bitching about it but at least I'd want to reread it and Sam would be less of a douche.

>>94819880
Honestly I was just messing with you after that first anon

I am so glad to hear that. I was genuinely worried that I had done something to upset you al beyond my terrible taste in comics.

>>94820644
WHile I certainly enjoyed Spencer's recent run on Cap (still loving it, he writes Steve and Sam like night and day and don't downplay him in any way), it would have been refreshing to have another writer on the Cap title which would come out around the same time. Ewing did give an inspired take on Sam but it's after Sam had been affected by AXIS and while I love the serires for it's ability to go off in new territory, it's curious to see what Ewing could have done with regular Sam. All that out of the way, AXIS was an amazing title that I didn't fully appreciate until five to six issues in. Superior Iron Man and Axis Carnage were some of the best titles I read that year..

>>94817920
>starts during infinity
>12 issues later and stuck with original sin

I really hope this doesn't happen anymore. So many good books ruined by this. I liked this run despite the art.

>>94821117
Ewing has a history of getting the short end of the stick while at Marvel.

It really is a shame.

>>94820975
Axis was fun, which most events hate to be. Secret War also had some levity in Starlord and the tie ins. That's a huge problem with most events, imo.

As for Spencer's Cap, I liked it in the beginning but I think defending it on /co/ constantly soured me on it. Last issue I read Steve tricked him into getting a senator killed.

According to the list provided for me, the next title is Captain America and the Mighty Avengers

I know this is supposed to be "Superior Luke" but he does make a good point. If Spider-Man would have just stopped fucking around and taken care of Ock when he had the chance, none of this would have happened. Captain America killed people during the war and they weren't even close to super-powered much less had the body count these guys do. Every argument against killing these monsters is moot.

>>94821766
There it is, the page that got reposted on /co/ countless times. This was before we all started to remember Ewing's name.

>>94821295
SIXIS TIE-IN

I appreciate this is basically the only book that considered the public repercussions of the Evil Avengers (outside of Superior IM)

Reading through Tomasi's Superman at the moment. Is it bad that I really really enjoy this title? I know it's relatively new with it being a Rebirth Relaunch but it has been everything I have wanted in a Superman comic and more over the past 5 or so years.

He's better at weaving it into the story than most, but it really is absurd how often he's hit with forced tie-ins.

Just read Superman #7 by Tomasi, it's been a long while since I read a Superman comic this good. Every page was pure gold and I don't use that phrase lightly. Superman is my favorite superhero and this title didn't dissapoint. I hate that we didn't get anything like this till Rebirth. Wonder what was going on during the New52

>>94821994
It's crazy to me that they thought it was a good idea to invert Sam.

The second he gets the shield, he's magically turned into a massive cunt and Steve has to save the day.

One issue and already I'm on board.

>>94821472
Your opinion aligns with mine so I'm going for it. Going to plow through all of Hickman's issues tomorrow and If I like it, I'm gonna buy it. If not, I'll find something else.

>>94821493
So would you say the entire thing is garbage or only select portions?

>>94822090
It's really nice when someone (so just Ewing, Spurrier, and Cornell) remembers they exist.

Disappointed that so much of the team showed up USAvengers without really interacting.

I was glad when that Teen Girl Blade was quietly cancelled, because you KNOW Lady Jack would not have been used at all.

If you're talking about the Paul Cornell serires, then absolutely!!!

I think I've just gotten to the point where I know Land isn't going to do anything knew but perfect on what he's already provided and in terms of providing suitable comic art with semi-creative paneling, I'll take what I can get because....you know....Land.

>>94822166
I miss Remender at Marvel

>>94822221
I do wish we'd gotten his SamCap.

The "Hydra traitor on every team" thing sounded cool.

If you're gonna make heroes go bad, fucking make them go bad.

The Vampire State arc was so awesome, especially with Doom and Vlad having a conversation on the Moon. One of my favorite arcs of all time.

If I did a mid-day arc tomorrow would I get visitors? I could start really really early (I'm thinking noon) and I could cover the entire series.

Also, I'm worrking on a cherent storyline for the Millarverse and I'll post my rough draft tomorrow. It's not going to be exactly perfect but the titles are for the most part be where they need to be (I hate splitting parts of stories for the sake of chronology). I'll post what's necessary, add a couple notes, and the audience will figure it out.

Would you want me to start with Moore's Captain Britian or straight to Cornell's? I could make this a regular thing till the serires is finished. Do Captain Britain in the day and Ewing in the night till both are finished.

Also I definitely gave it some thought and I'm totally going to do a Millarverse thread. Going to power through as many titles as I can tomorrow and get a rough timeline established.

It's both cool and funny seeing Spidy in a lab coat.

>>94823829
What's inappropes is Spider-Man's joke, given how many kids have actually died at that school.

>>94823892
I don't remember many kids dying in the Jean Grey School specifically, which is surprising given that Wolverine of all people was the headmaster.

>>94823970
It's a mutant school built on the foundations of the old mansion.

Giving it a different name doesn't really stop it from being a the site of a mass murder of teenagers.

I love ya Op, but start earlier next time Jesus christ
