I love it, personally. Love the writing, love the art (lot of pop culture music icons as "Gods" in there), love the story.

But Uber is really kinda..... not the same kind of vibe?

Gillen at his best runs in two totally different writing modes:

1. This super. violently romantic epic "Gotterdammerung/Twilight of the Gods" type stuff (Uber, Beta Ray Bill: GodHunter, Original Sin, Origin, Darth Vader)

2. This "too cool for the room rebel youth indie record everyone's gay" kind of writing. (Young Avengers, Phonogram, The Wicked + The Divine, Journey into Mystery, Doctor Aphra)


You'd honestly think it was two totally different writers. I couldn't even recommend anything in group 2 based on liking anything in group 1.

with that said, both groups are great. Gillen+McKelvie are one of my favorite modern writer/artist duos.

I fukking hate Gillen cause he's like a pop writer. but his run on Vader is awesome. @Cacdestroyer read vader.

@Cacdestroyer I forgot to mention I'm prolly the only person here that likes Group 2.

Interested in it.

I heard bad things. Can you elaborate? Is it a clusterfukk?

Haven't read it since back when it happened but from what I remember is was a big unnecessary clusterfukk that served no point

Been reading some old X-Men, this shyt is so sappy but it's soooo good. Storms transformation after becoming the leader has been so engaging.

Is anyone reading Thor?

I was sceptical about the whole lady Thor thing, but this shyt has been really good, especially this Mangog storyline.

What other titles do you like? Based on that maybe I will have an idea if our taste align.
