Where's...I don't know that that's Elsa. Where's the trademark ginger ponytail? Could be a make-over, but it doesn't make sense to make her a generic blond, especially since she's appearing as her true self in Secret Wars right now.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-65223647338037472912015-07-04T20:11:36.411-03:002015-07-04T20:11:36.411-03:00This really isn't a Marvel Comics for me. Stil...This really isn't a Marvel Comics for me. Still no 'proper' Avengers book, though Waid will turn in some great scripts at least, and Ewing's Ultimates will be excellent, most likely (do check out his Mighty Avengers work, the first volume is best, before the Cap was added to the masthead). Ms Marvel will continue to be a must read. Captain Marvel, i likely won't bother with if it s more of her flying planes and spaceships. The Inhumans - no thank you.. Too many Spider-titles, and I miss the real, intense and creepy Jessica Drew. I've as little interest in Miles Morales as I had in Ultimate Peter Parker - one Spider-Man is all I need. <br /><br />Is that not Elsa Bloodstone doing the stupid sexist pose in the Creature Commandoes Illo? The Illuminati and yet more evil X-Men? Pass. I've as little interest in a Like, Totally Awesome Hulk as I have in any Hulk not written by Peter David. DD going Noir yet again... The superb Waid SHIELD comic being replaced by a more TV version, yechh. I'll give Nova a try, though Marvel Cosmic's not interested me outside of Abnett & Lanning. Never given a toss about any solo Wolverine books. I love Wanda, so her book gets me if Marvel stay away from the 'she's maaaaaad' bit. <br /><br />Yeah, not really a line-up for me. And the business with FF is behind ridiculous.

These tend to be the characters I have no history with, but am interested to see how they now fit in this new Marvel Universe.<br /><br />I've had to abandon my beloved cosmic titles because Bendis reduced the Guardians to the "goofballs of the galaxy", a kind of sub-sub-team of The Avengers that just didn't feel right. If they're trying to reflect the cinematic Guardians, then why throw in random non-cinematic characters and mess with the line-up?<br /><br />And I'm mightily pissed off about the lack of Fantastic Four! <br /><br />Given that my DC list is down to Gotham By Midnight and Batman, that leaves plenty of room for Star Wars (yes, I know that's Marvel as well), the new Archie and Archie horror stuff, and works from the smaller publishers.Tim Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845783872464372488noreply@blogger.com
