This preview made me way more interested in the game then I was before. Still not going to get it, but I can see myself doing so eventuallyMy brethren:
After 9 Hours, Marvel's Avengers Spends a Lot of Time Fighting Itself

This has feels like destiny or one of those grindy mobile game with aaa productionMy brethren:

I'm about to wrap up the Batman RIP issues ahead of the Final Crisis event in the Omni.
Real interesting the way Morrison twists the inanity of 40's and 50's lore to fit a modern context and narrative. It's clever but his brand of 'confuse now, lightly explain later' is kind of disrupting the experience a tad.
I am all for reading between the lines and trying to suss out a mystery, but at times this feels overboard, even as someone that did the research and read those old issues he references.
Not to sound negative as I absolutely adore his intentions here, but the execution has me thinking the vagueness could have been flattened somewhat. I felt similarly about Seven Soldiers despite adoring it conceptually.
That said, this is the most engaged I've been reading Batman since Knightfall! :snicker:

Yea, just noticed that lol. Also, the Marvel FCBD issues are available finally.
Don't think about it
In Avengers Moon Knight took over the world but you know no one is ever going to talk about it outside the book
Also in between events Vampires were going rampage around the world and killed God know how many people not accounting what other major story arc in another book like there's supposed to be a robot uprising in iron man books that no one talks about besides iron man
Just assume marvel universe (dc too) only have a week of normalcy before a villain almost destroys the world, a country or a major city
Did they give people a date for when they are allowed to share video footage of the Beta? I assume when the actual Beta starts, they cant really stop people, if there is a preview embargo.My brethren:

Yea, really curious how the game plays outside of just the campaign missions. Like, are there more open areas to explore, like Destiny's Planets? But, more importantly, will there be enough content at launch. 80 of those War Zones things sounds like a lot, but If they can be completed in 5-10 minutes, or if they are just campaign missions restructured, I could see that getting tiring.
Also wondering if they have anything like Destiny's Nightfalls. Longer, more difficult versions of these War Zone things.

I just think it's funny. And in NYC in between these the city will be erupting into a massive riot because of Sin-Eater.
There are longer War Zones. There are two in the beta, one is a more linear affair with some exploring, and the other is more open, with a number of points of interest.
Marvel should wholesale rip off the 52 event after the big Knull event, and send main books one year ahead then have a book about the year in between.
Hells Kitchen almost got wiped off the map this month lol
Everywhere else gets aliens they get bunch of villains almost reducing their population to 0
52 is just an Avengers No Road Home rip off
Same, I'm pretty bummed. The relaunch didn't have a chance to quite find it's footing, but hey I really enjoyed what I read so far. At leats #6 (another good issue) ended somewhat nicely with most of the threads tied up. I do wish we would see who sent the secret messages and why druid got rezzed though
I hope what they did to Jen in this event leads to some dope use of her in Ewing's series, it'd work pretty well if he decided to swing in that direction of her recovering from it
I didn't like No Road Home as much as No Surrender. The ending was nice with the journey for vision, and maybe I'd enjoy it as trade instead of issue...but it was hard to follow at times cause it'd introduce concepts and drop them, and the antagonist was lame as hell Hela type.
Empyre isn't bad. I just can't bring myself to care for some reason.
Though Empyre X-Men is really, really fun. Magik and Hordeculture are the best thing about this entire event.

This seems like more essential reading than last week's mainline X-men book for the franchise. Wanda's zombies, Hordeculture, Magik getting her armor back, and FUCKING SHADOW KING is on Krakoa.

The moondragon focus in GOTG #5 really got me invested in a character I didn't care for before. I like the conflict between the "perfect" and "real" versions, and the panelling during their interactions is fantastic. The scenes of the "fight" playing out are also fun and snappy.
Guess I need to repurchase Prologue HC. I sold it after reading assuming I'd never get the Inferno book. Now I want it all on my shelf again.
It's gorgeous.
Good. The Excalibur issues will be where they belong.

lol @ tony building an FF armour in empyre #4. And yep, reed has to work on his priorities
Best part of the issue was the scenes with Jen. They are so reminiscent of immortal hulk with the full-on body horror . No wonder there'll be a post-even she-hulk one-shot as she's dead and will likely tie in with the TOBA stuff ewing is messing with in immortal hulk
The wedding came out of the blue for me. I don't recall seeing it elsewhere, and it feels wasted if it's only one panel? We'll see though

I think Empyre feels smaller than it was meant to be, especially since most of the tie-ins are cancelled. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing though, given it was mainly meant to just set up marvel's new space age or whatever it is
honestly I was just laughing out loud seeing how much the cotati are bragging about taking over a dead hulk, like "yeah, sure, congrats! you did it! hulks are very much known for staying dead forever now! this will NEVER bite you in the ass!"
Hmm. New samsung tablet with a nice 16:10 ratio. Much smaller black bars for comics!
12.4" 16:10 gives you a 10.5" x 6.6" usable area.
12.9" (iPad) gives you a 10.3" x 7.8" usable area.
US Comics are 10.25" x 6.65". Almost 1:1 with the S7+.
EU comics are 11.6" x 8.4" might scale a little better on the iPad.

I haven't read this issue yet but didn't Athena seem to hint that the original Phyla is coming back?
I want to see Ewing the legend fix the worst part of the DnA cosmic saga.
Wonder which is better for manga. 4:3 or 16:10. (Especially for landscape 2-pagers).
Can't argue with that.
Hmm Shadow King as well. Why not just let all the psychos in?
I remember reading a CBR post someone made compiling all the terrible things Emma Frost had done in her history.
It was a lot.
It was a lot.
Well, to be fair, we can make that list about almost everyone but Shogo and he's a dragon now so people are gonna die.
Didn't Emma go crazy and kill a bunch of Inhumans? And then was going to do ...something with kid Cyclops? Not that I'm complaining they've ignored all that.
Yeah. That was so fucked up. I don't feel like Cyclops would break her that way.
