#anydayisavengersday #mailcall this arrived yesterday evening and I read it straight away. It was so cool! There’s not a lot of action, but it’s full of intrigue and moral issues.
⚠️

Spoilers

⚠️
It’s 8 months after the Illuminati decided they couldn’t kill alternate earths,even though this would mean the end of 2 universes.
.
The #Avengers have split up.

Namor and the cabal (made up of villains like #Thanos and Terrax) have been dealing with the incursions ever since. And they’re having a blast killing the superheroes from those alt earths. This weighs on #namor’s conscience. They’ve also told the world about what’s been going on.
.
#Sunspot has bought AIM and together with #Thor and #Hyperion are looking for the cause of the incursions. Starbrand & nightmask join them. 
.
The illuminati have gone underground and are researching ways to stop the incursions. That are also on the run from the Shield Avengers led by Steve Rogers.
.
The shield avengers seem to focus on hunting the illuminati, because who cares about incursions anyway, right? After all the villains seem to be handling it well. And when they kill worlds it’s okay, but when avengers do the same then we have to hunt them down. I’m not sure what their plans are, but so far this government led team is totally useless.
.
So this book sets the stage: in face of a huge crisis, earth’s heroes are divided and  are wallowing in moral indignation. No one is working together and the world is only alive because Thanos & Co saved our butts. Quite the situation, right? I absolutely love this shit! And I have to read vol 2 asap.

I’ll also use this for anydayisavengersday for @specialtis. Thanx for the tag, mate!

#quarantinereads Here’s another book I bought ages ago, just for the artwork by #stjepansejic. Back then I didn’t care for the story and didn’t even finish the book. But I gave it a 2nd chance today and to my surprise, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Story by #RonMarz
.
➡️➡️ SPOILERS ⬅️⬅️
.
Sara Pezzini makes a few interesting choices in this book that both lead to bad guys not making it out alive. (yep its my pet peeve, bear with me!)
.
In the first story the apparant death of a child molester was her intention.
.
But in the 2nd story she wanted to bring the bad guys (thieves of intellectual property) to justice, but she made the mistake to trust #AphroditeIV and they ended up dead.
.
She is playing judge and jury here. An odd habit for a superhero who is also a cop. I feel her decision in the 1st story is justified, but I do wonder if it will have consequences in future storylines.
.
So yeh, now I’ve added #witchblade to my wishlist. Who would have thought that?
.
And hey, I never thought I’d live to see the day that the Witchblade armor covered up Sara from head to toe! What happened to the fanservice? 😱🤣 She even qualifies for #tinheadthursday now 😉
.
Anyway I am using this for the tags: #savageswordofthursday #teamupthursday and #throwdownThursday. Thanks for tagging me go to @diecastcook @ferdi_vl710 @geezy_m7 @marvel7080 & @specialtis

Alters is one of the best new superhero books I’ve read in quite a while. They managed to strike a good balance of superhero stories and stories about Chalice private life.
.
I had expected that the story about chalice transitioning from male to female would dominate the book, but it doesn’t. It is, of course, the element that stands out because one rarely sees this in comics.
.
And it’s done very well and handled with care and respect. It’s all about the people and doesn’t try to push any agendas. And I’m glad it’s an ongoing plot that doesn’t get resolved in one tpb. I’m looking forward to how things play out. .
The superhero stuff has a bit of an x-men vibe, which is something I really like. And it’s different enough to keep me engaged.
.
When I finished the book I really wanted to see how both storylines continue. There wasn’t much of a cliffhanger but they got me hooked nonetheless. Gotta get me vol 2!

#topvarianttuesday I finally found a copy of the penultimate issue so I could read this at long last. Thanks for the tag @ferdi_vl710
.
I absolutely loved it! Perfect ending for a wonderful series. I hate to see this go, because there aren’t many superhero books out there that deliberately & successfully play with the genre conventions while still remaining a true superhero comic.
.
I mean, it didn’t try to redefine the genre but it took it where few others dared to go.
It tackled many of my pet peeves, and answered a whole slew of those nagging ‘what if’ questions.
.
It dared to question the rules that most superheroes take for granted. And to my delight, Mark did not go to the dark side, even though he does kill his enemies. And power doesn’t corrupt him, even though he uses his powers to change the world (and universe) for the better rather than to preserve the status quo.
.
Kirkman himself also never really stayed with any status quo for too long and that really kept this book fresh and full of surprises.
.
I just wish there would be more. This final issue is chock full of story ideas. Any of these glimpses of the future could be full blown storylines. There’s enough material to last another 144 issues!
.
Anyway, let’s end this rambling with a big thank you to @realrobertkirkman (if that really is the account of the actual Robert Kirkman) and to @ryanottley and #corywalker .

Gotta love this one! It’s a great webcomic series!

marvel-feed:

MARVEL ANNOUNCE NEW ‘SECRET WARRIORS’ ANIMATED MOVIE!

The feature-length movie, titled ‘Rising: Secret Warriors’ will debut in 2018 and focus on a new generation of diverse heroes including Ms Marvel (Kathreen Khavari), Ms America (Cierra Ramirez), Spider-Gwen (Dove Cameron), Squirrel Girl (Milana Vayntrub), Patriot (Kamil McFadden), Quake (Chloe Bennet), Inferno (Tyler Posey), Exile (Booboo Stewart), and Captain Marvel (Kim Raver)!

This sounds like heaps of fun!

Today was a productive day.

I ask myself this a lot lately…

(via cassandracalin)

Today’s #December_CoverartChallenge theme was “Worst Run Ever”

This was a tough one for me. Not because of a shortage of candidates but because I got rid of most of the usual suspects.

I sold DK2 & Brand New Day & post Claremont 90’s uncanny X-men (the Portacio run), and I gave away Spider-Man: Chapter 1.

So all the stuff I really really loathe has been banned from my collection. But @cornelius.grayl reminded me of this boring snoozefest of a Superman tale. And hey, I still own a few issues of it.

Heavy handed moral stories with zero internal logic about a Superman who doesn’t want to be super. Some of the themes were interesting but they were badly researched or badly executed, as they often hammered the moral down the reader’s throats through waaaay too much expositional dialog.

Grounded sucks and #straczynski should have been grounded for writing this sh*t. But instead they gave him Wonder Woman too…

I just hope the New 52 erased both his runs from continuity. (now if only Marvel would do the same for his Spider-Man run, especially his swan song and let’s not forget the loathsome Sins Past story.)

Well that’s enough bitchin for me!

mikemaihack:

Wonder Woman has no time for your silly guns and bullets.

Also, this is up on eBay for those interested in such things.

Love this Wonder Woman piece by Mike Maihack!

Miles fights #Venom in an all-out battle at a hospital with dramatic consequences. Except not so dramatic, because Secret Wars undid this “shocking ending that will change Miles’ life forever.”
-
I’m still unsure how Miles and his past life in the ultimate universe fits in the post secret wars marvel universe. Apparently this universe already has another Miles Morales… And both Peter & Miles remember their inter-universe team-up from the Spider-men mini series.
-
All that aside, I do still love Miles’ solo book. It has had its ups & downs, but overall Bendis has done a great job with Miles & ultimate Peter Parker before him.
-
I wish they’d revive the original title of this book when they go back to legacy numbering. Being adiectiveless is kind of lame.
