>Writer of nighthawk, occupy avengers and Nick Fury Jr oneshot

Hmm, i didnt like any of those books, so I pass

>>89704176
Didn't he also write the Luke and Danny book though? Wouldn't that be the most logical thing to compare this to?

yes he did. And that book is basically a Luke Cage book with Danny tagging along.

>MCU outfit.

>>89704238
I disagree. They seem like pretty equal partners in the book.

>>89704226
Oh yeah he is doing that too, i read the first arc but meh, I didnt like it find interesting and the art didnt help either.

>>89704158
So is Heroes for Hire Cancelled?

>>89704158
just like my tv show!

Is David Walker writing himself a Cage?

Dude has the exact hair cut and facial hair

>>89704462
It's a pretty generic black man style, not much you can do past adolescence.

>>89704158
I like Walker, but I feel bad for him that he mostly gets the "minority" and "social justice" assignments, even though he does them well, he should have worked his way up to a flagship character by now.

It seems hard to believe there was once a time when Marvel had a black guy writing and editing Spider-Man while a white ladies were writing Power Man & Iron Fist and Daredevil. The magical era of the 1980s.

>>89704786
I don't expect him to get a flagship character yet, but he deserves a chance on a more experimental book. Something weird like cosmic or magic.

Blame Axel Alonso for this shit

>>89704158
>>89704365
They're not even trying to hide the MCU synergy anymore, are they?

>>89704942
Expect an Infinity War II.

>>89704158
Cool. Would've liked to see someone else's take on Cage, but Walker is alright. Wonder if PM&IF will still be going.

>>89704158
will the market support it?

>>89704942
This has been going on for like 3-4 years now anon

>>89704786
You either write the crap Marvel wants you to write or you don't get any gig. What happened with Priest should've made this clear. It's a shame though, I kind of like Walker but every minority book he has written has been either meh or dumpster fire. I wish Marvel would give their writers a chance to write interesting book rather than generic PC crap.

>>89704989
It should be fine. Unlike movies, TV shows seem to translate decently to comic sales. The bigger concern would be Danny if they're still giving him two books + PM&IF + Defenders.

>>89705073
like agents of shit, am i rite?

>>89704989
Market doesn't support anything that isn't A listers, so no.

>>89704989
Of course not, if PM & IF in the cancellation zone, just imagine two solos.

>>89704975
That assumes anyone in Marvel remembers what Infinity War was.

>>89705228
Starlin is still working for them, isn't he?

Not even MCUfags care about Agents of Non Canon. But yeah DD sales are better than they were during Waid's run and this run is generic and boring. Flash is selling really well too.

>>89705073
PMIF is ending.

>>89704158
Well at least Genddy's CAGE was great. Probably the last good Cage story we'll get

>>89705097
True, I forgot about that one. But stuff like Flash, Green Arrow, DD, and JJ all supposedly have an expanded readership from the TV shows and at least around mid-tier sales. Luke Cage has more in common with them than AoS.

>>89705241
He basically has his own continuity with his OGNs, and I doubt they even remember that most of the time.
If they did, just imagine the buzz from the Thanos book written by "the man behind INFINITY GAUNTLET!" It's not like Marvel thinks things long term, anymore.

>>89704240
"Outfit"

>>89705302
nah, that story wasn't good at all.

>>89705073
>The bigger concern would be Danny if they're still giving him two books + PM&IF + Defenders.

Let's actually take a minute to examine those books.
He has Iron Fists, which is a mini. There's Power Man & Iron Fist, which is apparently ending. I don't know what that "other" book is, but I'm presuming it isn't gonna be this.
That leaves Defenders, and going by how Bendis has written before, I can predict that Danny will be the character he ignores, because that's how he always wrote him in New Avengers.

>>89705228
Like Civil War II was a logical follow-up to Civil War.

Infinity War II will take place on Earth exclusively. Thanos will invade, again, because all five Infinity Stones are there. The Champions and Secret Warriors will be the protagonists and ultimately defeat Thanos.

Also Unworthy Thor will call them Infinity Gems but Kamala will correct him, saying they're Infinity Stones and "nobody calls them gems! That's silly!"

>>89705377
He has a solo coming up by Ed Brisson and we all suspect Iron Fists is a mini but no one at Marvel has actually said it yet. But I retract my statement now that I know PM&IF is over. I thought it was going to be two solos (one either a mini or not), one duo book, and one team book, which is stretching it for any character who isn't a S-lister yet alone Danny, who I like, but is a B-lister at best.

>>89704240
Face it, anon. Parkebolts era "actually looks like a superhero" Cage was a minor reprieve from Bendis's Black Man.

I never had much interest in Power Man before it, but it was obviously do to simply not knowing much about him. I've been trying to rectify that.

Thanks for proving me right.

Who knew Walker needed to lose an arm and a leg to reach the pinnacle of his badass level

>>89704365
literally just a black guy

>>89705805

No, bots; they are cheaper than interns.

Is there a guide to essential Cage / Iron Fist / PMIF reading?

>>89705349
Nigga it was fun as fuck. That on top of his humor makes it top tier at worst

I wish Marvel would stop it with the whole flooding the market with books that don't get past issue 6.

>David Walker & Nelson Blake II
Are both of them black?

>>89706992
Everyone knows they're minis and treats them as such so I guess it doesn't really matter.

>>89707807
Yep.

Yup Marvel seems to be into that

BP was originally also an all black creative team until they realized Stelfreeze was slow as fuck

>>89704158
>Luke ongoing by Walker
Aw, nice -
>sudden realisation that this + two Iron Fist books + Bendis Defenders means that PMIF is inevitably getting cancelled
Aw, son of a FUCK. Don't take away one of the only good things you're putting out, Marvel.

>>89704158
So another flop it is? Didn't Marvel what how DCYou almost ruined DC?

>>89704158
So Walker is the new token black writer, huh? Priest's curse has moved on!

>>89705414
Most of the Champions and Secret Warriors are pretty good characters when they're not being written by Waid, so I'm okay with that

>>89708197
Priest was more tragic because he somehow fell into it even though he had written a lot of big characters already. Walker is kind of new to capeshit so this is just how he's breaking in. I hope he can escape it eventually.

>>89704306
Looks that way but I honestly hope not.

I mean we have a book with Luke, a book with Danny, a book with the Defenders and Marvel has short attention span with older books.

Like honestly I want Luke and Danny, Matt has his own comic and Jones can fuck off.

>>89704158
So now on the way we have
>2 Iron Fist solos
>1 Luke Cage solo
>Defenders (Luke Cage/Iron Fist teambook)
Yeeaaaah, PM/IF is probably cancelled. It's sales were already in the toilet and there's no fucking way the market can support all these books at once. The fact that IF is getting 2 solos alone is fucking insane, though Iron Fists seems to be a stealth mini.

>>89704238
I'd say Luke and Danny both take a backseat to the villains.

>>89704986
They say it's ending in April in the article.

>>89709338
>>89708863
Daughters of the Dragon series, when?

>>89704786
Walker only knows how to write black men though

>>89711960
They aren't monolithic, though.

My only problem with cancelling PM & IF is that Danny and Luke are seperated again, when they were best together. Sure they are both in the defenders, but Bendis seems to hate Danny.Also Walker shipped DannyxMisty, which was a bonus.

>>89713557
Which was awkward, because Spencer ships her with Cap!Sam.

>>89715605
No one gives a fuck about what Spencer thinks.

>>89715605
Spencer is wrong

>>89715654
Falcap sells better than PM & IF tho anon

>>89716842
Walker needs to pull rank and claim that it's racist for two black characters to be together just because they're black. He can save us.

>>89715605

Spencers idea for that sucks though

>>89704158
>SYNERGY
I''m still mad they're calling the team Defenders. That's Strange's team. They should have gone Heroes for Hire.
