I'm assuming no one read Age of Extinction. Don't waste your time.

Marvel is currently a snoozefest.

DC KO has been very enjoyable.

i knew it would be from the jump. the xmen are gonna have a rough road to recovery post krakoa/arakko. and in ultimate avengers, is anyone keeping up? did they ever finish the iron fist stuff?

you mean the Ultimates run by Camp? If that's the case, not really. After the focus it got in those early issues, it has mainly been backround stuff for She-Hulk to have a motivation and nothing else.

It's one of the many reasons why killing this new Ultimate Universe makes no fukking sense. They had a ton new and interesting backstories for a lot of characters and instead of letting other people pitch their stories and try new shyt with them, they just killing the whole thing

Headlining the Marvel special is a dream creative pairing: New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer, making his first full-length Marvel Comics debut, teams with superstar artist Pepe Larraz.

The oversized issue also packs in a slate of bonus stories from some of the biggest names in comics, each bringing Marvel and DC characters together in ways fans will be talking about for decades.

• Dan Slott and Marcos Martin send Spider-Man Noir into the shadowy 1930s to meet the Golden Age Superman.
• Geoff Johns returns to Marvel for his first story in more than 20 years, reuniting with Gary Frank for a Super- and Spider-family clash sparked by Mysterio.
• Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman stage an epic showdown as symbiotes swarm Metropolis in a tale featuring Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor, Wonder Woman, and more.
• Louise Simonson and Todd Nauck pit Steel against the Hobgoblin.
• Joe Kelly and Humberto Ramos deliver a campus crossover starring Gwen Stacy and Lana Lang.
• Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli reunite Miles Morales with Superman in a team-up fans won’t want to miss.

just finished battleworld, and although i doubt the far reaching scope of things will happen(the return of cross gen and new universe, as well as korvac fixing fukked up timelines like dofp having a lasting effect) i like that this book made an effort to try to fix pym. allowing him to forgive himself should have been done decades ago when they were fixing other characters, but i guess better late than never, that is until they use stark to be a hypocrite and blame all the avengers problems on hank again. also, im gonna miss young bucky, pistol whipping the absorbing man is so damn stupid that it could only work
