And i also think the Avengers art is pretty bad. It got pretty sloppy during the celestial fights.. like silly robots on page.

I think he needs a better artist and should focus more on characterization (outside of the big 3) than just throwing together another doomsday world is ending plot. We've gotten our fill of those

I feel like they are rushing mcguiness they are such silly amateurish mistakes IMO cant blame poorly proportioned body parts on the inker....and mark worked with him on spiderman/deadpool.

My rants n questions:

* I’m so tired of Captain Marvel, BRUH.


* I think Cyclops resurrection gonna be more contrived than Rhodey’s

* Isn’t it sad how interesting characters like Vibe, Sodam Yat, OG Secret Warriors, Avengers Academy roster, Secret Six, Avengers Iniative characters, soon to be Miles Morales all get shelved or brought back to be killed in some wack “event”.

* The Avengers flagship title is TRASH n boring. Why couldn’t they just do another Avengers Unity Squad again?


* Since we know the Ultimate Universe is back, how bout Marvel stick to what made it great: New refreshing takes in old familiar characters. Part of the reason that line folded was cuz creators just started making exact copies of their 616 counterparts.


* Why dont DC or Marvel give Gail Simone one of their flagship titles or a big event?! She is knowledgeable of the characters, she doesn’t write characters out of character, she makes it a point to use characters who’ve been shelved or written awful n revitalizes them (see Secret Six)

* Is Jonathan Hickman taking over the X-Men a cruel rumor started by fans?

Neither DC or Marvel is interested in giving the lead slot to anyone who isn't going to sign an exclusive contract. If I remember correctly, she's been off that for a while.

Also, where'd you hear about the Hickman X-Men thing? That'd be fukking AMAZING.

tbh, Marvel's been a bit all over the place since Hickman left, and even more so once they lost faith in "ANAD" and started throwing shyt on the walls with shock event drivel (AXIS, CWII & Secret Empire).

We all had issues with Hickman injecting more subplots in his stories than he could resolve, but it was very cool seeing the big picture unveil itself, as well as the interconnectivity of so many characters across the 3-4 Avenger books he wrote. Sometimes felt less like Avengers and more like F4, BP, Cap, or DS books depending on the subplot.

The ANAD teams (ANAD Avengers, Ultimates, Squadron Supreme, and Uncanny Avengers) could've benefitted from that syngergy... this current Avenger team is trying to be grandscale epic but lacks the heart, and x-men always just seems like a clusterfukk of stuff happening.

I figure Marvel would love to have Hickman back and would give him even more leeway given how MCU influential his work has been, but i wonder what Hickman actually gives a shyt about these days

Hickman's problem in Marvel has always been editorial getting in his way. Him being forced to cut short Secret Warriors and Fantastic Four are still the two biggest crimes Marvel has committed since One More Day.

Not to mention Bendis being a lowkey deuchbag lol. Just my impression but it felt like he didn't fukk with Hickman and was being lowkey petty about certain things, like wanting to start Invincible Ironman right off the bat with the Dr. Doom reveal, knowing damn well it'd be a major spoiler if Secret Wars had any delays.
