Never but I did read this thing once.
I was really into Red Hood after the movie. So I go on Tumblr looking at different picture. One Tumblr is dedicated to Red Hood, turns out it some girls blog thing. As I'm reading it she talks about crying over Red Hood and going over to her mom I the kitchen to hug while crying. The mom then ask "is it that comic book character you like?" Girl just nods and continues to cry.

Praise be to Ewing
>>84078389
Shit, it still makes me tear up.
>>84078303
The fact that Kaluu is nowhere to be seen in ANAD Marvel is the greatest crime
>>84078343
>>84078361
>>84078379
I just realized the doctor is an aged Al Ewing.
>>84078489
His Ultimates has two of his Mighty Avengers, his New Avengers has another two, Shulk is dead, Luke, Peter and Sam are busy, Kaluu has to be lurking around somewhere.
>>84078523
o wow. Nice.
Has Kaluu been in Strange? It seems like he must have showed up in the current arc at some point, but I can't remember.
Rebirth
>>84078631
Nope. Thanks Aaron. But hey, at least Baron Mordo will be back just in time for the movie.
>>84078561
It's weird that Ultimates doesn't have a magic rep. You'd think given their MO that a top tier magic user would be a big draw.
>>84079258
I was just about to post this.
>>84078631
maybe at the bar with no name?
i need to catch up with strange i was enjoying it
>>84079342
Aaron is a fickle lover. Sometimes he's god-tier, sometimes it's fucking unreadable trash.
>>84079363
Maybe Last Days of Magic will shake up magic squo enough to get one on Ultimates. Maybe Doom, he was on the NOW teaser with Miss America. That'd be p fucking cool.
>>84079421
I dropped it pretty quick but then picked it up again just because the Emprikul are so fucking dopey and ridiculous and stuff actually started happening. I'm digging it. I know some people aren't into it, but I'm not super clear on why.

>>84079902
The slow trickle of Loki I'm getting in Thor is actually pretty good, I just wish I didn't have to dance around the Jane stuff to get it.
The jsa convergence tie ins
>>84078389
Secret Wars was mostly shit and destroying 616 was a bad decision but fuck, this is really great writing.
>>84080954
?
The Hickman lead-up was great, the main event was good, there were some great tie-ins. Secret Wars was dope.
>>84081003
The main event were pretty useless to me, except Doom-God. And I hate that the main reason behind the event was only to make room for the Tumblr-MCU-verse that is ANAD Marvel. Different strokes I guess.
>>84081099
The only thing different post-SW is that Miles and Maker are in 616, and some cosmic fuckery going on as a result of the new Universe.

He is the god of lies, kind of hard to tell.

He's the god of stories now actually, I just hope Hastings follows up on that and does him justice.
>>84083225
>>84083289
Kid Loki's still dead right? I haven't kept up but >>84082986 depiction of him doesn't seem like the same asshole Loki.
>>84083408
He was dead and became a sort of amalgamation Loki, he wasn't the old Loki nor the kid Loki but a new other Loki and this one tried to do good, failed miserably, suffered, etc.
Read Loki:Agent of Asgard for more concrete info, it's actually pretty good, I can only hope Ewing to write Loki again.
So are we ever address the fact that loki used to be Satan and has a son in hades?
>>84083289
In Vote Loki? I can't imagine. Aaron's Loki has been cool, though. I just wish he had an ongoing again.
>>84083408
From what I remember Kid Loki was engineered by King Loki as a stepping stone to his own reincarnation, Kid Loki was killed but the next stage of the evolution didn't play ball the way King Loki wanted him to, so now we have current Loki who may or may not turn evil one day and who may or may not be the Loki from Aaron's ANAD Thor.
Somebody please correct me.
>>84078389
Damn son...
>>84083511
I mean, that's more or less the only thing that's been addressed in Loki since like 2011.

I can't deal with this Loki's pubes beard. I don't know what the artist was thinking.
>>84083602
>>84083616
>>84083487
When I stopped following it, in Young Avengers or whatever, Loki has a Kid Loki spirit following him around who outright says that it is just his guilty conscience and that Kid Loki is gone.
>>84083487
>this one tried to do good, failed miserably, suffered, etc.
Sounds like Kid Loki to me.

Yeah Kid Loki is dead and gone.Thor was pissed.
>>84080592Cool.
When is Aaron gonna resolve all this shit?
>>84084455
Didn't this just happen last issue?
>>84084963
The one before. And I'm mostly referring to untangling Loki's deal, which has been the draw all along and keeps getting buried under Jane stuff.
>>84078316
>Dave Griffith
Well I'll be damned, he's still around. I figured in this modern age where everyone's seen "Birth of a Nation" they'd never use a character named D.W. Griffith.
>>84083408
He's not just dead, his soul was freaking annihilated. He's super-dead.
The Loki running around now is the Old Loki, but with enough of Kid Loki mixed in that he's a brand new Loki.
>>84085171
Doesn't Old Loki also exist, though? In his staff?
>>84085238
That's King Loki, who is New Loki, but older. But throught King Loki going back in time, meddling with his own past, he ended up causing New Loki to become the God of Stories, which King Loki never did, so their timelines basically split.
>>84083602
Where's this from?
>>84079363
I kinda wish Duggan hadn't inherited Doctor Voodoo and Ewing could have stolen him.
Uncanny Avengers is a good book, possibly the best Avengers title, but Voodoo doesn't get much chance for development in that book because of the huge cast and Mutant/Inhuman bullshit that he has no involvement in
>>84076248
Deadpool 250
>>84085082
I'm mostly just mad that everything that Ewing established with Luke like reconnecting with Dave, the return to the Gem Theater and the set up for taking on the Defenders name was all ignored in the new Power Man and Iron Fist book
>Watchmen
>>84089087

>>84089078
Ewing must die for our sins, them's just the brakes.
>>84076248
Never cry, but I sometimes well up a bit. Most recent was Dark Night: A True Batman Story. That shit just hit way too close to home.
>>84089034
Good thing Voodoo's getting his spotlight after CWII wraps up. Duggan's been teasing supernatural stuff lurking in the background of his subplots, and he said so in an CBR interview I think.
>>84088851
Deadpool: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Got me into comics. Duggan knows how to knock the wind out of you. Just been rereading the run recently, and got through the Original Sin flashback issue tonight (favorite of the run)
Hell, we got space for a short storytime...
>>84090804
>Good thing Voodoo's getting his spotlight after CWII wraps up. Duggan's been teasing supernatural stuff lurking in the background of his subplots, and he said so in an CBR interview I think.
Yeah but CWII hasn't even started in Uncanny yet. It's still on the Hanktron arc (which is honestly preferable to any CWII bullshit but mandated tie ins to Events is what Marvel lives on).
So they've still got to wrap up Hanktron, go through the motions with Civil War, so Voodoo probably won't get any real spotlight until the end of the year.
>>84091085
>Voodoo probably won't get any real spotlight until the end of the year
By then, who knows what the roster is even going to look like after the mandatory forced CWII fallout and Marvel NOW push shake-ups come in. Probably not that much variation.
Hope this affected you.The first thing you see in present day is feet.

I think the shot with the fire truck passing by might be my favorite panel in a while. It just describes motion so well.
Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run, I at least tear up once just a little every time I read it through.
Other time's I'll just outright cry.
And it's not just one scene, there's a couple of them that can really get to me.
From the sacrifices, to the love and wholehearted acceptance, to the reunions and redemptions, to the giving that one minor villian comforting words as he dies.
And even the corny ending for one character, however short lived, was just so heartbreaking it's unbearable.
I mean, come on!
Last Days of Ms Marvel was a feels roller coaster, you laugh in one page but in the next you cry
>>84093072
All the Last Days books did pretty decent jobs of it.
Not so many tear-jerkers, but Punisher and Loki did great jobs summing up the core of the characters.
>>84090859
Wait, he sent him on that mission just for the HELL of it?
I hope that guy died messy.
>>84093426
Go read The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly to find out what happens to that fellow!
>>84078389
What's the context of this? Did everyone really die and ended the marvel universe?
>>84094073
Yes.
Everyone.
That was the final collisions between the Marvel universe and the Ultimate universe.
Tony Stark and Steve Rodgers died fighting and bickering, grappling each other, while a helicarrier crashed into them.
>>84094148
Why were marvel heroes fighting one another? What was the big bad guy?
>>84094165
Tony had his morality reversed by the AXIS event. The world was ending, Steve just felt like closing some loose ends.
The forces of both universes were trying to fight for their own survival. It didn't work.
Two life-rafts survived. Some others survived in other ways.
It was caused by, I dunno, I honestly didn't read the last three issues of Secret Wars, it was delayed so much. Some flaw in the multiverse.
>>84094165
The bigbad was the extra-universal alien species of The Beyonders who were crashing parallel universes together to destroy the infinite multiverse that they had grown unhappy with.
And Tony Stark, along with a conspiracy of supersmart superheroes, had erased that information from Steve Rogers brain without his consent, and that pissed Cap off because by the time he found out (again) there was nothing to do about it.
>>84078389
REALLY? This made you cry?
You fucking pussy
>>84094246
Are the beyonders suppose to be us? Is this a meta critic of marvel fans?
>>84094261
I don't think so. They're a pre-existing concept used in the past Secret Wars "events" and so far they seem motivated by being so mentally alien and so unreasonably powerful that they don't really care about anyone or anything.
And when Marvel wants to play ironic with the fan's opinions they just mention the in-universe internet in dialog.
>>84094200
The Beyonders just felt like ending the multiverse so they introduced Molecule Man in each universe and designed them to be bombs that when blown up would destroy the entire universe.
Doom teamed up with 616 Molecule Man and figured out that by killing the Molecule Men of different realities before they were due to blow up they accelerated the death of that universe, causing the Incursions
Doom started a multiversal cult of Black Swans and made himself into their God Rabum Alal and they started helping him kill worlds.
Doctor Strange started the Black Priests and was also going around destroying worlds
Sunspot sent a team of Avengers out into the multiverse to find the source of the Incursions, they eventually found the Beyonders and managed to kill one and turn the other into a tree. They all died
Dr. Doom and Strange teamed up and somehow killed the rest of the Beyonders. It wasn't very clear how. Doom took all of their power and became a God and created Battleworld, saving what parts of the Multiverse he could.
>>84094439
Sunspot's suicide strike team had one survivor: "Unworthy" Thor, the irony abounds with how that went down.
Dr.DOOM! realised that the Beyonders were constrained by temporal reality, they were basically gods but they still existed within time, he then used a large number of Molicule Mans to suicide-bomb the timespace continuum that the Beyonders were occupying, and then used a device he created to steal Beyonder power. Strange was basically his sidekick through all of this and I don't know what he contributed.

>>84079495
As someone who read all of Strange in the past year and so has it fresh in their mind.... yeah, it's not a very "Dr Strange" feeling story. Very uncreative antagonists, makes up its own founding rules for Marvel magic, really grim and defeatist in a far drabber way than other grim or defeatist Strange stories have been. The whole Magic vs Science thing itself has been done as far back as the 60s but still retained an air of fantasy.
I think that the basic problem is that Strange requires a subtlety of ideas to pull off and that Aaron is one of the least subtle men in all of comics. He was given the keys to the most limitlessly creative corner of the Marvel universe and his very first thought was LET'S FUCKING TORCH IT ALL WHO CAN PUNCH HARDER. Power to him, he likes things glum & gritty. Just think that energy could be better been spent on an Image original or maybe Hellblazer than Strange first ongoing in 20 fucking years.

This is why I am not liking the new Strange run. THERE was limitless possibilities and all we are getting is the first THor storyarc 2.0. The fuck? Can he do anything right? This is the same fucker who broke up the Xmen when it didn't narratively make sense because of "muh xavier school nostalgia"
>>84097047
>grim and defeatist?
Is it? The Emprikul are really silly and ridiculous, every time one of those EVA-looking motherfuckers says something it's hilarious, and Stephen spends most of his time running around Indiana Jonesing for some goodgood magic.
And even then it's still the first arc. Aaron seems like he just wanted to try something different (and drown the arc in cameos for minor characters), but especially with what the sphereboys have been finding in Strange's house, squo seems like it's coming back soon and weird as shit.
I'm definitely enjoying it.
>>84094246
>The bigbad was the extra-universal alien species of The Beyonders who were crashing parallel universes together to destroy the infinite multiverse
The Beyonders weren't responsible for the Incursions. Doom was.
>>84098489
Weren't they responsible for the Blue ones?
>>84100496
Yeah, but they didn't cause those incursions. The blue incursions were just their mapmakers trying to use the incursions to track down the source of everything going to shit. The blue incursions also weren't destroying universes since the Map Makers would always destroy the Earth they're coming from before moving onto a new one.
The whole incursions shit is because:
>Beyonders decide to blow up the entire multiverse all at once
>Doom gets told by Valeria "you can't win, figure out how not to lose."
>Doom then goes "I've got it! The Beyonders can't destroy the multiverse if I DO IT FIRST!"
And then Doom proceeds to destroy the multiverse himself before the Beyonders get a chance to. The Beyonders wanted to stop the incursions just as much as anyone else since they were getting in the way of their experiment.

>>84094073
Yes, but the real end result was basically "it was all a dream" besides one or two minor quirks (Miles and Maker are now in 616).
Secret Wars outside the tie ins were sound and fury signifying nothing.
>>84094439
>>84094517
This is supposed to be a good plot? Someone got paid to write this?
>>84100724
Okay...why did Doom want to destroy the multiverse before the Beyonders? I'm trying to get my head around this.
What about the "shading the apocalypse" Earths that did stuff like blow up their Earth while sending humanity to another planet? Why did Doom kill those universes?
>>84101705
What exactly do you think "tumblr nose" means?
This entire issue
>>84098255
Compared to classic Strange? Yeah. It really fuckin' is.
>>84104407
Every universe had a Molecule Man. The MM were The Beyonders' bombs set to detonate all at once and taking the multiverse with them. Doom was going to try and kill every Molecule Man before that happened but it was impossible since there was an infinite number of universes. He had to destroy enough of it to make the amount of Molecule Men left a more manageable amount.
So Doom's plan was:
>kill 99.999999999999999% of the multiverse but at least a tiny sliver will survive
The Beyonders' plan:
>kill 100% of the multiverse so nothing survives
And it all worked out in the end. Doom saved just enough to create Battleworld. Then with the power of the Beyonders, Reed used what little Doom saved as a basis to remake everything he could.
>>84104348
?
Doom did what Reed couldn't to preserve reality, but couldn't steward it as god-king.
Reed was needed to remake the universe, which Doom couldn't do.
It was a great end to all of Hickman's previous work on FF and Avengers.
>>84104407
The problem was that while the Earths were the specific contact points where universes collided, even without the Earth, the multiversal structure was still collapsing, it just bought a little time.
>>84104485
>"By the power vested in us by The Unclosing Eye of the Withering Devourer, we, the BLOOD MONKS of the Temple Macabre, do hereby accuse you of the high unholy crime of practicing SCIENCE!"

Dude, what. This arc is silly as shit.
>>84104569
But wouldn't a piece of infinity still be infinity? I guess you just have to use some suspension of disbelief.
So he starts killing universes early...so he could control a tiny bit of universes. I'll ignore how an invincible race of Gods didn't murder him the moment he started killing universes early. I get Hickman likes Doom a lot so I'm not surprised the Beyoners jobbed to him.
What I'm not getting is how killing 99 percent of the worlds allowed him to save that 1 percent. Couldn't he have saved that 1 percent first then let the rest of the multiverse die? Is there something I'm missing?
>>84104576
>Just bought a little time
But without an Earth contact point and without a molecule man wouldn't those Earths be safe? Or was it that they still had a molecule man?
If the problem was the molecule men why didn't Doom just kill them instead of start killing the multiverse? I mean if you're able to kill a universe you should be able to kill a molecule man. Or is it that molecule men can't die unless their universes die? In that case why wouldn't you teleport them out of the universe into another universe and then kill them counter-Infinity Gauntlet style?
>>84104785
Ok, so
Basic state: Multiverse is A-ok
Then, a Molecule Man in one of the universes died, destroying that universe.
Universes starting sliding into the gap left and colliding, the point of contact being Earth. When the Earths collide, the Universe is destroyed, and so the gap becomes larger and the collisions accelerate. As the collisions accelerate, the lifespan of the multiverse gets shorter and shorter.
So, destroying a Universe's Earth prevents it from being destroyed in a collision (incursion), but doesn't stop the fact that the structure of the multiverse is unraveling anyway. Averting the incursion does stop time from being taken away from the lifespan of the universe, though.
So, the Beyonders are trying to end the multiverse through MM bombs.
Doom and Strange are trying to A. kill MM, B. destroy Earths.
Ironically, killing the MM is what leads to the first Universe being destroyed in the first place, setting the process in motion.
Does that make sense?
