Ewing, I do love you, but did you really have to include the two most intolerable Squirrel Girl characters?

>>88053155
>Literally idiot proof
I don't know why but this made me chuckle.

Why the costume though? It's not like she has some secret identity to protect and she's easily recognizable.

>>88053125

>Mirage
Since when is she using the name again? She's depowered.

>>88053235
>Young Avengers reunion
Could Ewing be based enough to pull Patriot and Speed out of whatever holes they're in?

>>88053201
I thought Ava was browner than that

A little anticlimatic, but I can't blame Ewing for having to wrap everything up in a single issue. And it's all continuing in USAvengers, anyway.
Plus, I respect him actually addressing why the lineup's changing instead of just letting it happen.

Something something official release.

>>88053261
>Why the costume though? It's not like she has some secret identity to protect and she's easily recognizable.
It's a superhero tradition to attend funerals in your work clothes.
>>88053267
Speed, maybe, but I get the feeling that there's some kind of legal blockade on using the Bradleys.

>>88053134
Is this Forson's first appearance after Secret Wars? And is the fish puns guy an actual character in Squirrel Girl's ongoing? You know you don't NEED to cross-reference continuity as much as you can, Ewing.

>>88053155
Where the fuck did Cannonball and Magik come from?

Not that I'm complaining.

Holy shit, I'm so unreasonably happy for Shan doing stuff again even if for one page

is Dani still depowered? was she depowered in the Hopeless 05 Annual?

The best news that this issue delivered is that Barberi's art looks actually real good when he's not colored by Israel Silva. I can't stand that shit.

>>88053125
>Magma's first appearance since Fearless Defenders
>Cypher's first appearance since fucking Fear Itself

>>88053414
Cypher was in All New X-Force. He got to knock robot boots with Danger.

>>88053460
X-Factor I mean, not X-Force.

It's probably that Barberi's inking himself as well rather than let Walden Wong do it

>>88053210
unf that tigerbutt

>>88053348
She is and she was. She lost her "psychic projection of your deepest fears" powers, not her Valkyrie ones that were given back to her by Hela in the Utopia crossover.

>>88053460
>>88053475
Thanks anon

>>88053304
Heck he even references Songbird helping Luke in the Civil War tie in.

>>88053257
Fucking cake is a lie. But it made me smile.

>>88053277
>Literally female Shriek

I can live with that.

>>88053257

Look at Based Ewing just teasing us. You can tell he actually wants to write a New Mutants book, I can just feel the passion. Do it Ewing. Save the X-Books, Save the World.

>>88053248
Ewing throwing shade at whoever inevitably uses Classic AIM instead of American Ideas Mechanics.

It's official, he's an absolute madman. A hero. Ewing is Marvel's greatest treasure and it's not just because he's a continuity whore, it's because he actually makes all this adherence to the status quo and those classic encounters rivetting and above all else, fun.

God Bless Ewing. God Bless /ourguy/.

>>88053322
Did you just ask where did the teleporter come from

>>88054408
kek

>>88053216
Hey, I remember these guys from Fraction's Iron Man run.
Based Ewing and his continuity references that don't detract from the narrative and don't confuse new readers.

>>88054450
The TIM guys here >>88053193 were in Mockingbird

>>88053297
>some kind of legal blockade on using the Bradleys.
What makes you think that?

>>88054408
I'm confused since she only appears in that one panel.

>>88054530
I didn't even know that (though I assumed it was from somewhere), and I didn't need to to enjoy the story, or to laugh at the acronym joke. That's the cool thing about Ewing's references.

>>88053201

I'd buy every issue, and trade.

>>88053221
...nice

Christ.

Ewing is putting out the best books for Marvel, isn't he?

Like, streets ahead of the rest of them, sometimes.

>>88053140
Ewing only gets more based every issue. He turned Sunspot into mutant James Bond. I love it.

>>88053182
>>88054198
>>88053617
>"Avengers forever" references and stealing name for fun.
It's time to bring back Genis: the gratest namestealer

>>88054198
I hope he does, and Genis tries stealing Monica Rambeau's name AGAIN.

>>88053304
>And is the fish puns guy an actual character in Squirrel Girl's ongoing?
Yeah, Koi Boi, Chipmunk Hunk, and Nancy Whitehead are Squirrel Girl's supporting cast from her ongoing. Ewing's obsession with continuity is a double-edged sword.

>>88054823
He's a legitimately good writer that would get praised anyway, but the fact that he looks like the only person at Marvel who actually understands and cares for the premise of writing characters and situations in a shared universe gives him a perma-bonus in the eyes of anyone who thinks that's part of a good story

>>88053155
>My Junk
>OH GEEZ
EWING YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN

>>88053257

he can't. Marvel wants all their good talents on inhumans and shit ones on xbooks again

>>88054823
>Christ. Ewing is putting out the best books for Marvel, isn't he? Like, streets ahead of the rest of them, sometimes.
I'm just gonna tell you that I'm an X-fag and thanks to Ewing I'm more excited for Royals than all the X-Men line( among the announced creative teams, I only like Bunn and he is writing the O5, who I can't stand)

>>88053257
>Avengers Forever
EWING MADMAN STATUS CONFIRMED

>>88055163
I remember the more innocent times when I fully believed that the 05 were only going to be around for an arc or two. A pity really.

>>88053271
Bravo Ewing. This run was great and I really hope it gets collected in a nice hardcover.

>>88053257
>>88053271
I can't want to see how this effects the AoS book.
Is that still even a thing?

I like how Ewing ends every comic he writes with built in set-up for other writers to use which always get ignored by other writers.

>>88055229
>Is that still even a thing?
Nope. Just ended. The writer for it is moving to X-men Gold and Quake is leading the new Secret Warriors.

So once Thunderbolts gets cancelled (which should take about ten minutes from now) maybe Ewing will grab Songbird back up.

Also, the only way any of these plot threads will be picked up is if Ewing writes an anthology about them himself.

>>88055231
In this case he's using it.

>>88054554
Eli hasn't been seen in years and Isiah was left off the Captain America cover with every Captain America on it. I'm just filling in the gaps.

>>88055163
I'll probably give Blue a couple of issues. It sounds like Bunn's got a genuinely good hook with the O5 and Magneto, so if he follows up on that...
>>88054894
>"Call me Spectrum."
>" that, kid. You can have Pulsar, I'm not using it."

>>88055231
In the case of CAatMA, I'd guess that there were plans for a post-Secret Wars Defenders series that didn't actually happen, and he was doing set-up for it.

>>88053201
>>88053193
Are they gonna kiss too?

>>88055858
>N-no, Tia Ava, this is... wrong!
Make it happen

>>88055231
In this case he actually inserted a set-up just in case other writers ignore his actual set-up.
He knows that someone is going to ignore him and use AIM as a bad guy group so he put a line saying that Roberto is sure that someone won't get the memo that AIM now works for him.

>>88053125
This page is actually pretty funny. And Magma's got a nice set of volcanoes

>>88053182
This is gold

>>88056127
The new mutants do have a pretty high death rate. Karma (sorta) Doug, Illyana, Warlock. And I don't even understand what happened to Bobby in the 90s.

>>88055139
But they don't have any of their good talents on Inhumans

Seriously, they pushed them at the worst time with average writers

>>88053271
love it

>>88053248
More like AMERICAN Idea Mechanics

>>88053182
>Doctor Iron Fist!

>>88053221
Based Ewing.

But isn't Sunspot a Brazilian citizen.

>>88055163
>Ewing is on Royals
Oh fuck I had no idea. Yeah Royals is pretty much confirmed to be the best Inhumans book in a while. I'm expecting callbacks to v2. How's the art going to be?

>>88056383
America is a country of liberty, anon.
A meeting of immigrants.

>>88056238
>Ewing
>Rosenberg
>Some guy I can't remember the name of, but who's an accomplished and popular sci-fi novelist (and not a YA novelist)
>>88056278
American Intelligence Mechanics, actually.
>>88056383
Yep. >>88053271 "Know where I can get a new passport?"

>>88053176
Is that Luke Cage? why is he so thin and wiry like Spiderman?

>>88056675
No that's the second Power Man, Victor Alvarez.

>>88053221
LESBIANS! Girls kissing girls!
Not kissing you!
LEEEEEES-BI-AAAAANS.

>>88056766
>Hello, girls. I have lots of money.

>>88056800
BI-SEXUALS!

>>88056826
you'd need Batman's bod and Bruce Wayne's partyface charisma too, though

>>88056675
It's Power Man II.
He gets his power from being a soul brotha, quite literally.

>>88054823
It can't last.

Will Bobby become Director of shield at some point?

>>88057344
>Mutie
>Director of SHIELD
Let's not get carried away here

>>88053125
I like how they have to hide Nancy's face, since no other artist has any idea what she should look like when drawn normally.

>>88056597
Why didn't they put talent on the Inhumans originally?

I really hate Perlmutter

>>88053235
Gay? I don't remember. Lots of it in this series

>>88056238
The guy on ANI was good, and he was new I think. Hope he gets another book.

>>88057620
If I recall correctly, Matt Fraction was going to be the main writer for Inhuman, but left for reasons that were never disclosed. Soule was picked as a replacement in a hurry.

>>88056222
Oh Christ, Reignfire...

>>88053248
She wants the solar-powered D

>>88055618
Only the USAvengers set-up. There are no plans for New Mutants, Young Avengers, All-new Power Man and Iron Fist, or a new White Tiger.

>>88055262
Shame.
We were so close to having the MCU synergy do something good and have Ghost Rider join them.

>>88057620
>Why didn't they put talent on the Inhumans originally?
It was originally suppose to be Fraction and he was one of Marvel's biggest names at the time. Then Fraction dipped out and they slapped Soule on it as a last minute change.

>>88053125
>nancy's only appearance outside of SG
>the artist goes out of the way to not draw her face

Credit where credit is due. Koi Boi looks liked a real hero and not a joke.

>>88056445
>How's the art going to be?
Fantastic. It's Meyers. That's a huge get for Marvel after Meyers just left Teen Titans over creative differences (he refused to work on a TT book that re-uses Trigon and Judas Contract which originally weren't supposed to happen, but apparently plans changed)

>>88053093
It's building to an event, at the very LEAST it'll get 12 so that it can fit the "season model" and go through another rebrand.
PLACE YOUR BETS

>>88058253
Hulkling and Wiccan are like THE gay Marvel couple.

>>88059016
Ghost Rider will probably join up with the Secret Warriors I imagine. They already said that some non-inhumans would be joining the team down the line.

>>88059142
Ultimates and USAvengers combine to form the Ultimate Avengers, and THAT is what finally leads to Ewing's event.

>>88053182
haaaaaaaaaa

To think I was originally annoyed Sunspot and Cannonball went with the Avengers instead of staying in the X books...

>>88053277
Rulk looks memetastic and I love it.

>>88059295
To be fair, Hickman wasted them as much as the rest of the cast.

But I guess if not for that, they'd be stuck in the fuckfest that is the current X-Books.

>ITT shills shilling shills shillers
I'm glad this garbage is done, and I'm 100% certain that usavengers will be dead on arrival, just like it should be.

I'm happy to point finger and laugh at you retards

>>88059134
Oh shit, that's great for Marvel.

>Meyers leaving TT
That sucks for DC. Even though it shouldn't happen again, the writers they have on those stories are pretty damn good. I look forward to seeing what else Priest, Abnett, and Percy put together.

>>88054694
I think she's sitting next to Squirrel Girl on page 1.

>>88059427
But this is one of the books that are currently going on I like. Manages to squeeze interesting stories out of trash of other writers.

>>88053113
>Magik sitting away from the other New Mutants
That's what you get for having a bad costume and hogging the spotlight.

>still no Wolfsbane
God damn it

>>88058888
How long before Ewing brings up THAT part of Roberto's past?

>>88053182
Because he's basically wearing a tech-y Doctor Fate helmet, I want Doctor Positron to show up in the background of some future flash-forward comic as the Scientist Supreme.
Not necessarily Max, just a guy in that helmet.

>>88059429
Yeah, I was really looking forward to his Teen Titans book too, but hey, what's one more mediocre TT book. At least Titans continues to be pretty good and Ewing/Meyers on Royals sounds like it'll be great.

>>88059527
If he was going to, he probably would have done it already.

>>88059527
I hope he does it as soon as possible.

Shit, why not bring back his dead girlfriend her brought back to life in the body of a brain-dead girl.

>>88053221
I wish POD was still here for this ;_;

>>88056445
I'm expecting Ronan the Accuser and Crystal to finally confront each other for the first time since their forced divorce.

>>88059996
Maybe we'll see Luna again too

>>88060017
She appeared in the last issue of All-new Inhumans. Looks like she's staying on Earth though.

>>88060036

>>88060125
That she is.

I hate that a death promise is being presented with Royals, because I have a gut feeling it's Crystal's time.

>>88060175
>death promise
Not a death promise, actually. A promise that "7 would be leaving but only 6 would be coming back." It is entirely possible this just means that one of them is staying in space.

>>88060146
Is this the first confirmation that Captain Britain is still around since ANAD started?
How old is Luna supposed to be anyway?

>>88060212

>Ewing remarrys Crystal and Ronan

could he be so based

>>88060234
No one knows. Children have their age jump around all the time. Might even be older than Franklin Richards now despite being born later.

nu-Marvel doesnt deserve Ewing

>>88060349
Yet it desperately needs him.

>>88060212
Marvel.com's interview says its a death.

>>88060590
New Avengers was nonstop laughs. I hope USAvengers is good with Maverick being Red Hulk.

>>88060667
I hope Ewing remembers Rulk's robo waifu.

>>88060705
>I hope Ewing remembers
Man. Really?

>>88060705
Umm Ross isn't red hulk in USAvengers, it's been confirmed that due to Rulk being used in other plans he's been forced to make General Maverick into a Red Hulk (notice how he has the mustache while normal Rulk does not).

>>88060594
No, no, Parker needs to be on Shazam Rebirth

>>88060761
Oh, so this is what heartbreak feels like.

Ewing wont last long at marvel. He is showing what bendis, Coates, and most other marvel writers do wrong.

>respects continuity and characters
>stuff happens (this issue would have been decompressed over a 4-issue arc if it was Bendis doing it) and plot moves forward
>deals with char motivations
>is fun to read (unlike what Coates does)
>is aware and references other books

>>88060808
They'll keep him as the janitor since he's the only one that cares enough about continuity to fix other's fuck ups.

>>88053134
These guys are OP as hell. Didn't they one build a wishing well or a cosmic cube?

>>88060839
That would make him nu-Shooter then?

>>88053235
So, whatever happened to that whole "King of Space" thing that Ewing set up with the Kree-Skrull hybrids?

>>88053140
He should change his superhero name from Sunspot to Dr. Keikaku.

>>88060891
either Ewing's gonna bring it back up in Eternity War or it's a plot point for someone else to pick up

Was Sunspot ever shown to be as shrewd as he was here? I mean, I'm not complaining one bit, but I don't think "mastermind" or "strategist" are adjectives I'd ever use for him when he was part of the New Mutants or X-Force.

>>88061047
>The character introduction box always says that keikaku means plan

>>88061136
no, but he developed into that during hickman's avengers

>>88061136
To be fair it's a combination of playing up some prior events plus Sunspot was always portrayed as maybe going evil one day despite being one of the friendliest new mutants.

>>88061318

at some points nm or xforce, i dont remember which, fought an evil future version of him iirc

then cable gave him a pep talk and introduced him into his religion and how the future doesnt matter etc

>>88061375
And then it turned out that Reignfire wasn't actually him in the first place, so it never mattered.

>>88059190
I was hoping for Ultimates Cubed but that could work.

>>88060382
Oh. Well then nevermind.

>>88060638
Why would we? The only reason people are turning on him now is because he's phoning it in on Batman.

>>88060808
His books also don't see anywhere near as high as Bendis, Coates and most other marvel writers though. This just proves to Marvel that despite Ewing working his ass off to create a quality product, it doesn't translate into sales.

>>88059996
Ronan is already confirmed to be in it.

https://news.marvel.com/comics/55327/revealing-the-royals/

>>88053182
How does power man turn his head

>>88061136
All according to keikaku Sunspot was easily the worst part about this whole run. Sunspot running a team and being competent at it too sounded great but fuck this was just annoying half the time.

>>88059486

magik hates the rest of the nm

>your reward for putting up with my plans is somewhere to have sex without parents walking in
Not a bad deal.

>>88062371
>Going outside of the galaxy
That sounds incredibly unsafe

>>88063095
I'm pretty sure the Kree and Skrull empires spanned multiple galaxies

>>88063326
They're not even based in the Milky Way, so they'd have to if they're meddling in it.

>>88063326
Not according to Bendis. He thinks the Kree, Skrulls, Sh'iar, Spartoi, Badoon and Brood all occupy the same Galaxy.
He took the name "Guardians of the Galaxy" too literally.

>>88064131
Didn't that version of the Guardians first take their name while trying to protect Kree space from a bunch of shit? Technically they WERE guarding a galaxy. Just, not that one.

>>88054250
To be fair his brother is some extradimensional energy creature and his sister runs some obscure-ass cosmic superscience research group from a 40 year old Thing comic. They've barely been given panel time.

>>88053140
When is this magnificent son of a bitch going to get a solo book (or duo book with Sam either works)?

Incredible.

>>88053182
I think I would agree with you.

The superhero son of a supervillain teaming up with the supervillain son of a superhero, beating up threats to Upper Manhattan?

Sounds better than "here, have an 8 year old girl what killed a dragon barehanded"

>>88053193
Based Continuity God Ewing mining even MOCKINGBIRD for material.

He's wasted on Inhuman Royals. Should be doing Newest Mutants and Quasar.

>>88053093
god I hope it lasts this is the last Marvel book I still buy. This goes I will be Marvel free for the first time in 20 years. considering I use to buy 30 books a month at my peak that really shows how far they've fallen

>Teddy leaves just before he has a chance to interact with his half-father Carol
Figures.

>>88053227
>>88053235
Bobby has good severance packages.

Hulkling needs more focus in the future. How the hell did Ewing not have him finally meet Rick Jones during Standoff?

>>88054877
Is Ewing an absolute madman enough to bring back Genis... and have him steal the name Sunspot? And then Reignfire, when 'Berto calls him on it?

>>88060146
Ah, going for full on "cucking Quicksilver" levels of Crystal likability, I see.

>>88060234
>How old is Luna supposed to be anyway?

Younger than Franklin. Probably about as old as Cable should be, if he hadn't grown up in the future, died, came back to life younger, and then aged again raising Hope in the future, then died again.

>>88060775
Nah, I'm with >>88060594
Parker Legion.
He'd finally give us the Gorilla City Planet Legionnaire we've been sorely missing the last 50 years.

>>88060250
Well it's more than obvious that his Inhuman team is going to involve the Kree so I have no doubt Ronan and Crystal might get a reunion.

>>88062673
UUUU
