Wasn't impressed with Forever Evil honestly...and Future's End seems more of the same. I'll check it out but the reviews aren't looking good.

But on the real, who here is reading Miracleman/Marvelman?

For years I wondered what the big deal was, but I have to say this story needs to be told. the issues can't come out fast enough lol

He has written so much trash. Read his Punisher or his Secret Avengers. What I read up to in Uncanny Avengers was garbage too

Punisher was great up until FrankenCastle

I'm waiting for the Miracleman trade

Punisher was great up until FrankenCastle

I thought it was average right up until FrankenCastle which was straight up awful

Is there any new stuff included in the Miracleman comics are is just reprints of the original series?

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

it's all enhanced reprints from "The original writer" and some of Mick Angelo's work that help flesh out the characters. There's a few behind the scenes features of the process too.

We wont see any new stuff until we reach the end of Gaiman's run that he didn't finish previously. I also get mine digitally so I'm not sure if the physical copy is a plus or not.

It's all good though, I'm just impressed that its damn near a better story than Watchmen and I missed out all these years.

 

[Jello Biafra]

I got my hands on some ratty old copies years ago and was totally impressed so I am glad that Marvel is making it available to the masses.

The 6 hero counterparts on Axis are Thor, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Deadpool, Medusa, and Storm.

I'm ready for this. I don't really care about Original Sin.

Doom kills half that team in five minutes without breaking a sweat

Seems odd to not have Spider-Man involved when there are two of his enemies on the other side. Same with Cap considering Red Skull looks to be prominent in this event.

Iron Man kills half the villain team in 5 minutes without breaking a sweat.

Remender doesn't care about pairing rivals. He mixes and matches like crazy. Remember that Black Legion from AOA? It had versions of Sentry, Iron Man, Ghost Rider, and Dr. Octopus in it. Then Kang's Chronos Corps in UA...it has some of everybody in it. This is just him playing with characters he likes to use like Bendis always does. Jason Aaron is pulling that too with Orb.

I didn't read comic books in the 90's except for up to about the beginning of 94, so I missed the whole Onslaught thing.


Reading about it, he was so powerful because he was siphoning the powers of Nate Grey and Franklin Richards.

So "Red Onslaught" should be not as powerful. He should have Xavier's full mental abilities unencumbered by his morality...just like Cassandra Nova pretty much. He should be able to do things that Xavier couldn't do, like telekinesis for instance, and on a scale greater Xavier. But he shouldn't be as powerful as the original Onslaught because he doesn't have the added mental abilities of Nate Grey and the reality-shaping powers, energy projection, etc. of Franklin Richards right?

He should just be a Nazi Prof. X basically.
