In a major surprise move, Marvel Comics has acquired the rights to the Alien and Predator franchises, which were formerly housed at Dark Horse Comics. That means that Marvel will be in charge of creating the next wave of comic book stories based on the Aliens and Predator movie franchises, which...

Been out the loop for a minute with actual comics so swooped some digital versions to read this weekend since i got a long one and can't do **** because of Covid.

Got The Vision arc that was so highly regarded from a couple years back, History of the Marvel Empire, the new Avengers that's going on with Moon Knight ******* **** up. Any other recommendations?

Vision was amazing huh? Tom King did a great job on that title.

Still working through his Mister Miracle right now.

I still need to get to it but literally all feedback on Vision has been nothing short of "it's amazing" so I'm very excited

Just saw these earlier but I passed. Pretty sure I have that #1 issue of X-Men already.

 

[danger style]

Really hope DC announces what their plans are for the future of DC Universe service. I'm okay with it being comics only but would like some clarity before signing up. Big fan of Marvel Unlimited

 

[Master Zik]

I thought the word was it will be inevitably shut down?

 

[MajinZuub]

Yo I'm close to being done with The Visions and man this **** is so grim and dark but really well written

With all their original shows moving to HBO Max, the service continuing as it is makes no sense. However, they can easily switch it to a comics only service for DC Comics. Which is what im looking for

Yeah, man. I was surprised with the direction and tone of the story. Soooo good.

I'm still working on King's Mister Miracle....And it's been a slow read for me. Been 3 months now lolol.

Found a good read regarding Alan Moore/Grant Morrison's issues with each other than transitions into stories of their early careers

Link

Didn't know Morrison is about to leave DC

 

[Master Zik]

Hope he doesn't come back to Marvel.

Didn’t like new X Men I take it

That would be understating it. Plus overall I dont see the hype with him as a great writer at all. Don't get me started on what he did to the X-Men. Just rehash after rehash.

I don't mess with a lot of DC so I haven't read all his work. Its mostly all readable but it's nothing to praise. Every time I come across something that everybody is raving about I dont even finish them I become so uninterested.

Also I don't care for his unhealthy obsession with Alan Moore.

I'm in the same exact boat as you.

Checked out a LCS and splurged on the Batman: Joker War arc. I like it.

Also picked up Vol. 1 of Hickman's X-Men. Hoping that's a good read.

 

[Fozz]

LCS got copies of Batman #100 early and I thought the ending was meh to me.
