Holy thread revival!...
Just wanted to see people's opinions again, after a hugely successful year of movies (Cap A and Guardians), I finally got round to catching up on my comics, Uncanny, X-men and Avengers.
Things really have changed in the last few months with them and the Marvel Universe. Uncanny X-men is finally becoming good, interesting story and characterisation, the characters having personality. Even if Scot Summers is still wrong in his endeavour.
X-men on the other hand is still too early to tell with a new writer, only 3 issues in. Brian Wood's run was fantastic and I loved the new dynamic of a traditional team (irony there).
Yet, at the same time, I'm also reading Hickman's Avengers. The least Avengers book I've ever read. It's a mess. I read his issue 34.1, all about Hyperion, wasn't good. If I wanted to read Superman I'd be reading DC. His Avengers is nonsense most the time, his Original Sin tie in was 5 issues to say something that could be deduced in about 3 pages. The follow up issue was great because it played on this revelation yet it was instantly dropped again for some other bullcrap. Slight spoiler here, Sunspot bought AIM? What crap is that? AIM isn't on the stock market and is a criminal organisation. You don't just buy it, a joke.
Avengers are Earths Mightiest Heros and there is nothing Earthly about this team/book.
Then we've got SHIELD Starting again, with a Thor villain (as in a guy who can fight and beat Thor if he wanted) fighting a bunch of humans. :P
And obviously the Avenger 2 trailer which you are not going to mention any spoilers about are you? Else I'm likely to hunt you down...
Hmm, pie.
