Though there are far too many minor plot points that play toward the Marvel movie universe, such as Banner and Stark both being involved with the Gamma Bomb. And the whole Angela thing was pointless, too. <br /><br />At least Original Sin was more entertaining than the DC equivalent; Future's End is the steamiest piece of crap I've ever read from them - basically a rebooted version of Kingdom Come, without the style, pacing or emotional impact. <br /><br />I fear Multiversity will be a bad COIE retread.

Jr gets to take up his mantle and Sr. gets one heck of a promotion. Neither needs to step on the other's toes. Changing jobs is as fair as the situation could get.<br /><br />What ISN'T fair is, as you mentioned Ross<br /><br />A) It comes at Uatu's expense<br />B)Retconing Fury's entire post-war history into a lie to cover up planet destroying genocide and making long standing supporting characters like Dugan either LMDs or hapless dupes in Fury's big game. The promotion isn't really fitting if it's a punishment. <br /><br />But on a more positive note, love the cover!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711362962563905414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-57781333617524584302014-09-10T17:40:41.687-04:002014-09-10T17:40:41.687-04:00Don't forget about #900!Don't forget about #900!Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02456766784122686858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-71785594618024986092014-09-10T16:15:54.078-04:002014-09-10T16:15:54.078-04:00Nick Fury as the Watcher will, I strongly suspect,...Nick Fury as the Watcher will, I strongly suspect, be a fairly temporary thing, lasting no more than a couple of years.

It's long overdue. It would be nice if comics were actually more diverse than giving off a perception of diversity.<br /><br />With a character like Batman, I liked the "Prodigal" storyline better than the AzBat/Bane storyline. Same with the Death of Superman. <br /><br />I've been meaning to give Miles Morales a try as Ultimate Spider-Man - the new Ultimates comic looks pretty cool...almost like a Teen Titans book. Or maybe Runaways.AirDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888950508297936735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-6831609014517464672014-09-10T08:15:17.760-04:002014-09-10T08:15:17.760-04:00Marvel is on a roll with that type of character co...Marvel is on a roll with that type of character combo what with how they turned Falcon into Captain America.
