Seriously? Was it Websense again?

That's kinda weird. I mean there was Allred/Fraction FF and the Future Foundation in recent years, which kinda changed the branding of the group and the lineup as well, so it doesn't seem to be much of a drastic thing to kill the title as long as the group is still around in some form.

It does seem extremely petty to be playing the game this way, but the mouse house is staffed by those who would eat a child whole if it meant more money for their company.

Apparently, everything is tied into Hickman's conclusion for the Avengers. It gives them an out for the damage caused by Age of Ultron, saves the faltering Ultimate line and helps them tweak a few studio arrangements.

So far, this is what I've picked up.


All F4 books end.
All Iron Man books end.
Schedule date is August on that front.

Damn.

I love FF. As long Allred's Surfer book is still around, I'm gonna be okay with this news. It's all cyclical anyway. Sucks for the OG fans of 'em though.

Still need to read Hickman's run from a few years ago.

Shit's going to get weird between Original Sin and the end of the year. They fired Matt Fraction off Inhuman to make way for their FOX screw-job.

That book reads like the most ham-fisted way at getting around the mutant issue.

Still playing catch-up with the big stuff, but I recall the fallout from Infinity being that it's all Earth X out there now.

Seems like a cool concept, but yeah, changing out writers like that (I haven't read much of Soule's stuff, as he's been tied into stuff that I couldn't give a shit about) is always the best thing to do with event type books.

This is why I like the more self-contained books Marvel puts out. At least there's a sort of cap on this flip-flopping revisionist bullshit.

EDIT: Fucking Milo Manara did a variant for this thing? WHAT THE HELL

Milo Manara has been doing a TON of variants, dude.

Original Sin has been great so far. Pacing issues, but I like the way it's been rolling out.

Basically, Uatu the Watcher gets killed. Someone steals one of his eyes and the sheer power of the thing has been mentally destroying the henchmen and people that stole it. Last issue gave us the reveal on who stole it, but not the why.

Very cool stuff.

[Captain Russ]

Yeah, I just looked at a slew of watercolors. That's kinda nuts.

I like Aaron and what he did with God of Thunder, and hearing about the buddy cop thing with Fury, Punisher and Strange makes me want to dropkick the door open at the LCS.

Well, they poke at how odd it is to have Punisher and Strange teaming up. But, the Punisher is so self involved that he can conduct a crime scene breakdown even in the middle of mystical nowhere.

I also love the side story about how the robbery of the Watcher's eye is causing The Mindless Ones to become intelligent and all they want to do is kill themselves because of the sudden influx of knowledge.

Back to Ant-Man

  Spoiler: directors remaining 

Lord and Miller are out. Here are your three finalists to replace Edgar Wright.


Rawson Thurber, Adam McKay and Ruben Fleischer

This sounds like a blast. FUCK YOU, JADED ME

[Abraham Smashington]

McKay could work if he's not just a for hire dude. If he has some say in the movie I'd be down for that. Rueben isn't a terrible choice either. No idea who names their kid Rawson, but fuck that guy based solely on the name.

[Captain Russ]

They're all for hire guys. The basis of the appeal of an Ant-Man film was the energy and madcap sensibilities of Wright.

Without him, I don't give an ant ZJ about who they get now.

Yeah, I said it.
