Completely forgot Fear Itself was Aaron's, it's such a non-event that my memories are blank about it and I know I read it.Fear Itself was pretty bad too. Though Original Sin did have one good thing.... The Orb!

No.
His Avengers run is boring. I've dropped it twice now because it's so damn dull.
I just remember it by the mystical-themed Juggernaut and those other guys, and Sin being relevant for once.

what i'm saying is that tom taylor is terrible
I think they meant Original Sin.
Hard to keep up what's what with so many events that have happened in the 2010s.
I'll agree with this. Aren't the big storylines the prerogative of editorial? If you're handed a pile of shit, there isn't much you can do but make a shit sandwich.
Fraction, Aaron, Remender, Lemire and Soule are fantastic and made steaming piles. I don't blame them. Getting wrapped up in a Marvel event is a curse.
edit: or I guess it was under Alonso.
Holy shit, Bob Iger stepped down as CEO.
Whoever the new CEO is, they'll make sure we get an Ultimatum movie.

IIRC He was gonna leave next year.
I was mostly speaking about Bendis because that guy was involved with several events.
I don't know what this means for Disney going forward. I'm pretty sure they'll stick to what makes MCU a box office success.
As for Star Wars, even if Bob Iger stayed, I think the future for that franchise would still be taking a break from the public lime light for a bit.
My main concern (because I don't really care with what happens to the MCU or SW at the moment) is the animation side. I hope they make something new each year and focus less on sequels or prequels we didn't care about in the first place. But since Disney likes making money, I doubt this will happen anytime soon.
I laughed so hard at this, although if I saw someone wear this around I would probably think "cool"
And you'll never have to worry about a boring Catesvengers because he said he didn't think he was good with team books.
Aaron and Hickman want to un Bendis the new one I guess?
I'll take that and raise you:
I say this alllll the time:
You're only as good as your last book. Aaron's Avengers has been... okay to not good.
I don't think Zub is quite as good as people think he is. He can hit home runs with certain things, but he's not an all-around top-tier writer like, say, Charles Soule.
I would place Soule as all-around above average writer. None of his stuff I read really wowed me tbh, maybe I should check out his novels
I wish people would stop calling art they're not into "bad" or "terrible" or "trash." A guy on Facebook remarked how he recently read the Doom Patrol by Morrison run and said it had "great writing but terrible art," and I was thinking, "what?!?!" Richard Case's art was fantastic on that run. I understand if 80s art is not to your taste, but please tell me in critical terms how it's TERRIBLE. There's no way. Just say the art is not to your taste. But also, broaden your tastes.
Look at this stuff. It's awesome.

It is frustrating. I think that extends to all mediums of entertainment. People have a tendency to say "This is shit," rather than saying it isn't for them or they don't like it. It's good to try not to make one's subjective statements sound like objective statements. I doubt most people can do this all the time, but we should try to be fair, at least. I fail to do this sometimes, but I try to see the merit in something that others like. There's obviously stuff we would all think is shit, like the game Rogue Warrior.
Nice! I hope you enjoy it! It's a great series, and the US editions are luxurious.
I'll take that and raise you:
I can't remember if it was this mini or the FF v X-Men mini at around the same time.
One of them I really liked, the other wasn't that great. Honestly can't recall which.
Confession time: I haven't read Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns or Sandman... I'm wondering which of these are best to try out first.
Then yeah, just start with the whole Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga. It's a retelling of the original anime with a bunch of added context to the characters' histories.
Wait, what? Can I answer this question with "No"? You never stop Gundaming, gundammit!
Typically, you would then watch Gundam Zeta. Watch whatever the fuck you want. There are some great universal timeline (the canon timeline of the original series) shows, OVAs, and movies, and I like some of the alternate timeline shows, too. It's all personal preference, anyway.
That's fine. We all have gaps in our reading. Read whichever one sounds most interesting to you, and if you don't wanna finish any of them, don't be ashamed.
Read all three! DKR is probably the fastest. Then Watchmen. Then if you're still feeling excited about comics, go in for the deep dive that is The Sandman.
