The start and end of UA were awful, but the 17 or so issues in the middle were god tier.

Cho also did that "kissing cousins" pic of She Hulk and Hulk. Wonder if he's got a George Michael situation going on.
I finished Rage of Ultron last night, I liked it but
I finished Rage of Ultron last night, I liked it but
the ending was so rushed. Like what even happened to Titan and everyone who was infected since Vision's plan failed? Some were just there during Wasp's speech but Sabretooth straight up ripped Spidey's head off and that never got resolved lol, and we dunno what happened to Titan/Planet Ultron.

ohhhhh, ok. i forgot that was happening at the same time. I was like, how'd i miss those two?!
I need long breaks after these events (just like after AvX), but my eventual next 2 I want to check are House of M and Age of Ultron
for now im back on Waid's Daredevil, which is so good its silly. only had time to read 6,7 and 8 last night (and amazing spidey 677 which is also by waid and part 1 of the DD/Spidey/Black Cat story, part 2 is DD 8)
the whole thing with the DA lady flirting and him insisting hes not DD and she not buying it for a second is so fucking cute. Please tell me that they are a couple soon
and that she doesnt die like every fucking girlfriend he has >_>

If there was ever a premise that was failed by the execution...
Seems like the rule of Events GAF considers as shit are awesome for me continues.
Axis will be so glorious.
Great book, just the end was shit.

It.... Exists.
Thats about as much praise i can give it. But can understand if there are aspects of the series that are liked. Just not the core.

House of M is pretty decent by Marvel Event standards but i don't think much of it. it's really only interesting because of what it lead to, on its own it's whatever imo
Eh, it's a commissioned piece. Sure, he could have turned it down but to each their own. Speaking on a somewhat related encounter I had, I was at a convention not long ago and was talking to one of the artists there. Two young girls (I'm just going to assume they're of age) stopped by and was trying to ask him a question on what sort of commissions he'd do, all the while they were giggling and their faces turned red. After a minute of prodding, they finally asked what they wanted to ask, which was "do you draw yow-we?" We both weren't familiar with what it was so we asked for them to clarify. Apparently boys kissing boys is a thing (for the record, they wanted Erin and Levi from Attack on Titan). They didn't go through with the commission but just thought it was interesting what sort of pieces fans ask for.
Anyway, I'm not sure where I'm going with this. Maybe I should have someone draw me Batman kissing Batman one of these days...

Isn't this the second "callback" to the Manara cover he's done?
Not yet. But it would fit in the scheme for me.

Someone in this thread has defended Identity Crisis in the past, but I can't remember who.

Inhuman is one of the things I've been reading on MU. It's okay, but it's easily the worst thing I've been reading lately.

Geez I don't even know. I drop everything that I feel isn't worth my time.
I really didn't like it apart from the start but I am not an event hater like some.

Well, I'm still easing myself into this whole "buying comics week by week" thing, so my pull list is only 2 strong: Grayson and Gotham Academy. Of the two, I'd have to say Grayson, honestly.

Of Big Two books, probably Amazing Spider-Man. It's sucked since the relaunch but I could never drop the flagship Spider-Man book.
Otherwise, probably The Transformers. MTMTE is just so much better, plus I'm really tired of edgy tweener Prowl. He's never had much characterization in other media, given that he's generally Optimus Prime's Second Officer That Isn't Jazz, but I really don't like what they've done with him. But like ASM, I could never drop a Transformers book. I own every Dreamwave Transformers comic ever printed, for instance. I even own that dreadful Hardwired prose novel set in the DW continuity.

I want to see this too.
That's weird. I just assumed it was a commissioned piece. :/
Identity Crisis was my first "graphic novel" I read and thought it was a fun read (mostly just remembering how Deathstroke was portrayed, badass by the way). I'd probably have to go back and reread it to formulate a more conclusive opinion.
The weakest I'm pulling right now is probably Rocket Raccoon. First few issues were great. This new arc really suffers from the lack of Skottie's art. Jacob Parker does a fine job but it really lacks that extra oomph. And the story's been kinda boring.

Haha, don't worry, it'll be a run of at least 5, and you and Ales and Fraction will be getting "hand-embellished" copies.
Also, Ed is now the resident Yaoi expert.

Probably Hulk, will likely stop grabbing future volumes. Last books I dropped were Uncanny/All-New X-Men, not awful but they just kinda stopped grabbing me during/after Battle of the Atom.
Only if Ed does it. I'd send him my sketchbook.
