It's being completely revamped with a new artist. Possibly new writer. While I expect his daughter to still be in it she may not be the lead as implied initially.
The one that's supposed to be Blade's teenage daughter? I'm not really interested in that one. I actually forgot about it until now.
I want Eric mother****** Brooks!
He was just a plot device in the end though.
She set Rhodey up for a fall with that kind of poor planning.
Agreed. Rhodey should of never been in close range, not that half those people should be either, but definitely not him. She did use A-Force, Inhumans, and Ultimates but seeing has several members overlap on those teams, it was no where what they needed. Obviously Carol didn't want to tell Tony because he was skeptical of the idea of using the ability like that, but the fact remains it was Thanos, and like the celestial, he would of had no problem assisting with his entire Avengers team. Thanos could of been going on a stroll through the park, Tony wasn't going to argue "we shouldn't arrest him".Captain Marvel low key looks kind of bad for not calling in more people to handle Thanos
Wow looking through my old posts brings up some good memories
I don't think the Civil War comic comment was a debate though. Somehow we got on the topic of Marvel Events, either from a specific decade or like the past ten years or so and I think I just briefly went into detail on Civil War because of all the events we were speaking about it's one I really don't care for too much.
But anyways i'll just go ahead and mention some stuff off the top of my head.
When Civil War was taking place the landscape of comics was different than it is now. Heroes had fought before, but rarely anything on that scale, especially not recently. So the event was extremely hyped, with a lot of people interested in it. I won't say that I was one of them, but I did want to see how it played out. In my mind, when you're taking 2 heroes and having them fight over something what is more important than anything else is ensuring that both characters are treated with respect, based off of their long and distinguished careers. Not only for fans of both characters, but because that's how heroes should be treated. Therefore, it's best for the story to be written in such a way that whether you agree with one character over the other you can understand the argument the character is making, agree with parts of the argument and the logic behind them, and still see the decisions being made as being in line with the character's history. Civil War started out doing that, with Steve choosing not to go with the Registration Act and Tony choosing to support it, but very quickly went off the rails. I've said it before, by the very end of it there is just no way you can stand by everything Tony's done. It nearly destroyed his character, did destroy his character for many. And on some level, Captain America was just as bad, but at least he realizes it at the very end. Even then though the entire argument really just becomes insanely tipped in favor of the side that's against Registration, which I think was a disservice to the fans and a genuinely interesting debate topic. The numerous different writers involved really just made the entire thing worse, because so many wanted to push their own agendas instead of just telling a good story. Perhaps the lowest point in the series was when a character, wanna say her name was Sally Finn? Floyd? Something with an F, talked down to Captain America about how he didn't understand modern America, using crap like American Idol and MySpace
And what's worse is the Registration Act itself. It was very clear that the writers didn't collaborate and create a detailed layout for what the actual rules and regulations of the Registration Act was going to be before getting started, and that hurt the story terribly. In some books the Act was required for a person with powers to fight crime at all. These people could then choose to either use their powers, not use them, or get trained to properly use them so that they wouldn't hurt anyone. The training was required, but if they didn't want to use them afterwards that was perfectly fine. There was nothing to imply they were going to be locked up or forced to join an army or anything. Many people then chose to fight crime, because superheroes. Then you had other books, where people were forcibly being captured if they had powers, regardless of what they wanted to do with them, and the "heroes" on the side of Registration were ok with this. Hell, Luke Cage made it clear he had no intention of using his powers from then on and was attacked in his home the second the Act was signed into law.
In light of how Civil War turned out I actually think that it looks even more ridiculous, because at the exact same time it's going on you have Annihilation taking place in the far reaches of space, the event where an army is being led to destroy every living thing in the galaxy. It involved pretty much every cosmic character in Marvel that was relevant at the time, including freaking Galactus and in general is just a much larger, more important event, in terms of threat, than Civil War is. So everyone fighting each other on Earth ends up looking like an idiot.
This doesn't even begin to take into account how the entire Act was made into a farce when Maria Hill (Who is probably one of the biggest **** ups in Marvel comics) attempted to arrest Cap before the Act was even passed
Well...that was longer than I expected it to be.
No sense in building Miles up when we haven't had the true rendition of Spiderman built up yet. If they do things right, you can introduce Morales and the entire Spider-verse down the line and continue building from there.
Agreed. Rhodey should of never been in close range, not that half those people should be either, but definitely not him. She did use A-Force, Inhumans, and Ultimates but seeing has several members overlap on those teams, it was no where what they needed.

That entire fight was a mess. Look at the coordination and planning they had for the celestial being to deal with, they just treated Thanos as some street villian that they should show up take it as it comes method. Oh Rhodey is up here too lets let him tag along type of planning.
Unless this whole event ends with time travel that erases it from ever happening, Carol shouldn't be team leader anymore when this is over.
Could honestly sit down for an afternoon and spend it reading.
Been reading this new Miles Morales series. Enjoying it much more than the Peter series. A fresh take on Spider-Man.
Is Ganke supposed to be gay?
And it seems like Marvel aged Miles up like a good 3 years after Secret Wars.
