Fear Itself just ended. It was pretty terrible.

So what do you think the next event will be?

Everyone Is Caps?
Everyone Is Wolverines?
Everyone Is Iron Mans?

They already confirmed Everyone Is Venoms, but I think they're gonna make two Everyone Is, like Fear Itself and Spider-Island were Everyone Is Thors and Spideys at the same time.

Ye gads, why did I sit through seven issues of this?

Since I don't read many if any comics, could you into more detail? I'm curious.

Btw, because of Nova and Rocket Raccoon in MvC3 I've been getting interested in cosmic Marvel, what do you guys recommend me to do?

Pyro · **Reply #1078 on:** October 24, 2011, 03:11:55 AM

Most people say start with Annihilation and proceed from there. I can't say with any authority myself because I didn't pick it up.

Hammers descend to Earth about other imprisoned gods other than Thor, and suddenly, EVERYONE IS THORS.

Oh, and there's this God of Fear thing which makes everyone lose all hope and feel that the whole world's about to end and there's nothing they can do about it, so they just run away. The whole thing was pretty meaningless and they killed off BuckyCap.

Cosmic Marvel is the greatest Marvel thing ever. Start with Annihilation, and go from there. It's THE starting point for modern Cosmic Marvel, as well as in my opinion, the best damn multi comic book event ever.

PMed you a torrent.

Oh, I know that much, I've skimmed it at times at the comic book shop...wait wat, they called BuckyCap? *sigh* -___-

It was meaningless. Fear Itself brought absolutely nothing to the table. It was just lots of epic posing without any substance at all. Plus, you have to read other Fear Itself tie in comics to have some semblance of a clue as to what's going on, and even then it's still terrible.

Pyro · **Reply #1082 on:** October 24, 2011, 06:06:01 AM

And Thor dying-- why bother? We know he's coming back for the next movie.

So umm...
I want to read something with that X-23 girl.
But the question is... are there any good comics with her, AND if so, where do I start?
I could look it up, but decided to ask here since I can also get an opinion on this character and its related stories.
Howgh.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1084 on:** October 25, 2011, 08:05:23 AM

I've never really read any of her stuff, but I heard her recent main comic is pretty enjoyable.

I just read that she'll be joining the Avengers Academy group after Fear Itself, which makes me immensely happy. Because if there is a Marvel title I cannot highly recommend enough, it is Avengers Academy.

Bueno Excelente · **Reply #1085 on:** October 25, 2011, 06:07:05 PM

The original X-23 series is very good.

And her current series is cool, although with a few no-nos. She feels a bit like a Cassandra Cain ripoff, though.

Just read Death:The High Cost of Living, and Death: The Time of Your Life

I liked them very much. The art is nice too.

Tried Sandman yet?

I'm 'bout to.

Pyro · **Reply #1089 on:** October 26, 2011, 04:25:49 AM

So I read on Wikipedia that Kaine is now the new Scarlet Spider-- if that's the case I find myself quite annoyed that Marvel keeps teasing the return of Ben Reilly to the land of the living.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1090 on:** October 26, 2011, 04:55:21 AM

........I really hate the whole thing. I really do.

Pyro · **Reply #1091 on:** October 26, 2011, 05:24:01 AM

Mind if I ask what makes "Spider-Island" so horrible? (Ben Reilly teases aside.) I only glanced through it in the comic shop because I don't want to sink $4 in it.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1092 on:** October 26, 2011, 05:29:36 AM

First of all, it reminds me of the Clone Saga in the beginning, something no comic should ever try to do. I hate seeing The Jackal because I hate him as a character/villain. I've never been a fan of Anti-Venom, so seeing him again is not very appealing for me. I was really enjoying the Venom comic until it started tying into Spider-Island. I'm really not a fan of how Marvel has been handling their big events (on Earth anyway), so this and Fear Itself have just been a total waste of time. It's just amazing how I like Spider-Man in almost every other comic (FF, Avengers) but his own.

Pyro · **Reply #1093 on:** October 26, 2011, 05:39:57 AM

Ye gads, you know it's a bad thing when Marvel's feeling nostalgic about the Clone Saga. Granted it started out decently and I thought Ben Reilly was a compelling enough character.

As for Marvel's crossovers, even Onsalught was a much better effort than Fear Itself and Spider Island... and that should say something.

Bueno Excelente · **Reply #1094 on:** October 26, 2011, 02:54:56 PM

They're not fixing the mistakes they've done in the past, they can't decide whether they want to make a serious story or just fool around, so they [parasitic bomb] all over the paper, they're turning Flash Thompson's symbiote into something less controllable, leading to the eventual status quo, and they just got rid of Anti-Venom, the thing that made Eddie Brock an interesting character for the first time in years.

This is not only ending with a whimper, but it won't make any good consequences palpable to the story, and they're just gonna keep on going with Peter's misery until it becomes impossible to handle.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1095 on:** October 27, 2011, 05:10:20 AM

Read the finale of Spider-Island today.

........Ho-ly [parasitic bomb]. If anyone listens to my podcast, it gets a 1 out of 5.

Pyro · **Reply #1096 on:** October 27, 2011, 06:13:25 AM

Then I should be glad I don't collect ASM. I wonder if I should pick up the Scarlet Spider ongoing even though I know it's not Ben Reilly in the costume. *Really wants to punch someone at Marvel for teasing the fanbase with his return, again*

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1097 on:** October 27, 2011, 06:27:46 AM

Well like I said, I like Spidey in almost every book but his main one, so who knows. A new Scarlett Spider book COULD be good, even better than ASM at this point.

Bueno Excelente · **Reply #1098 on:** October 27, 2011, 11:39:12 AM

It... honestly wasn't that bad, you know?

The event was bad, but the finale was decent. We got MJ and Peter getting the hint of getting back together, we got Peter being CHEERFUL and having a happy ending, and we got a decent shoehorned "Avengers solve it" finale.

It seriously wasn't THAT bad. I woulda liked to see more of Spider-MJ, though.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1099 on:** October 27, 2011, 08:06:02 PM

It was [parasitic bomb]. It was the Spidey-MJ thing I hated the most about it, because they're still [tornado fang]ing doing it. They're still dealing with the whole Spidey-MJ bullshit scenario of teasing that they'll get back together, which they won't, and what makes it worse is that she literally serves no purpose in the [tornado fang]ing story other than to tease this fact.
