Molly Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Meh. If they needed another Inhuman, I doubt Karnak is busy. Also, no mutants in the Avengers? (Barring Wanda, who was grandfathered in), didn't they just decide to share the Avengers with mutantkind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well, they just decided to do this which will be over with within 16 months anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm thinking Rich Johnston might be right when he suggests that the Fantastic Four and X-Men are being downplayed for a while due to a Marvel execute having a beef with Fox. Hence the lack of mutants in The Avengers and the big push for The Inhumans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Maybe that means we'll get an Inhumans movie down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 At the very least, I think they'll be name-checked in Guardians of the Galaxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 There's already rumors that the Inhumans will effectively replace mutants in the MCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Something I just saw on Facebook: Thor is the child of a king. Thor is now a woman. Thor is the property of Marvel, making Thor the property of Disney. Therefor, Thor is a Disney Princess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 There was a time Jason Aaron and John Cassaday on a Star Wars series would have had me very excited. Very. Excited. Having seen Cassaday's recent work, it will be a pass for me. I'm stoked for the Leia series based solely on the creative team. The Vader book will depend on the artist.

Venneh Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 So, Marvel Unlimited. Does anyone have this? Is it worth the money? I just tried this (they had a $.99 for one month deal as part of a SDCC promotion they did, not sure if the codes are still valid at this point). For the $.99 price point, the opportunity to go through about 300 or so comics in a month's time that I'd been meaning to read was definitely worth it. For teh equivalent of a Netflix subscription per year... yeah, not so much. If said promotional codes are still valid, then definitely go that route. I'd imagine we'll be seeing something like this again for the next major con (NYCC maybe?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Gerry Conway tweeted that's he's writing a Spider-Man mini-series. Hope it's out of continuity/in nebulous continuity, I'd love to read another Spider-Man story by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Just re-read Secret Invasion. The lead up is far better than the actual thing. Anyway I thought I'd do some reading on what happens to some characters afterwards and bam, I find out Wasp is alive again. Weird sticking point I know but does nobody ever die for real? It's impossible to take death seriously in comics. What I really mean it, Wasp died, who imagined that bringing her back would mean anything? It's frickin' WASP. I am cool with bringing back characters for big idea and trying to draw people in. Bucky, Captain America, Thor, Norman Osbourne, they were at the centre of big reveals and special storylines. Why the hell bring Wasp of all people back, who really cares? Just let some people die, you've got a complete logjam of young new often legacy characters who will never be anything because they can never take that top spot. If they think certain characters merit big stories then do some period books. I'd love to read a good miniseries starring Captain Marvel before his death, you could even tie it into modern cosmic events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The Incredible Hercules tie-in, Sacred Invasion, was roughly a billion times better than the main book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I remember Secret Invasion most for getting in heated arguments with people who thought it was better than Final Crisis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Secret Invasion was a really interesting idea that they dropped the ball with. When Bendis went on record as saying, "Now, Secret Invasion was nothing, it was all just a prelude to Dark Reign", I said, "That's it. I'm out."
