Marvel Comics General

Go To

This thread's for talking about the Marvel Comics line, whether the comics are decades old or brand new.

As well as the superhero tales of the Marvel Universe, that also includes all the other things Marvel's done (Epic Comics, Icon Comics, Star Comics and all the rest), as well as the older stories by Atlas and Timely, the companies that later became Marvel.

Acquisitions like Malibu Comics and Miracleman are also on-topic, as are the licensed 20th Century Studios titles, the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Zoids and Transformers comics, and all of the comics created locally by regional imprints like Marvel UK and Marvel Italia.

  • We have dedicated threads for some groups of titles (such as Spider-Man and the X-Men). You can still discuss them here, but you might want to use the more specific threads.
  • We also have threads for Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Predator and some of the other franchises. Sometimes it may be more useful to discuss the comics there rather than here — but they're still on-topic and there's no hard rule.

Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about them here.

Discussions that are only about Marvel adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.

Please follow the spoiler policy rules - tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics (e.g. if comparing Marvel to a DC story). When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).

    Original text of OP 
A thread for all the miscellaneous Marvel discussion that doesn't have its own thread.

So apparently, they're making a Black Panther movie. Let's hope Hudlin is kept as far away as possible. On a related note, anyone think that the whole 'Super Hero that is also a King/Ruler' is kind of ridiculous? I mean where do heroes like Aquaman and T'Challa find the time to both lead a nation and go gallavanting on the other side of the globe?

I think trying to push all the spiders together as a team when they're not really that close was also a bad idea. They're not the bat-family.

Giving him a personal relationship with Miles was fine, everything else felt extraneous.

Like how Kindred kidnapped Spider-Gwen and treated her as if she was Gwen despite not being their Gwen.

Man thats crazy stuff.

I don't think you need to be bat-family close to be in a team.

Right now the Black Widow team feels more like a Spider-Family than the actual Spider-Family.

Going back to Reckoning War…

So I guess the reckoning in question is the Watchers’. Their greatest mistake has finally returned to haunt them and everyone else. And even if they survive this it is unlikely their status quo will be untouched.

Marvel are reviving the 'All-New, All Different' brand.

Something in the works for Hulkverine and Ant-Venom, with more announcements to follow

Wonder whose that as Anti-Venom since Flash is currently Agent Anti-Venom and has a different look.

I mean, it's hard to be interested in a new anything when it's gonna get cancelled in a year or two.

One's interest in this book is dependent on how much you wanna see Conan the Barbarian interact with Marvel characters.

It is nice that there's finally a Savage Avengers line up with a Hulk in it.

Savage avengers was one of marvels better books so I'm excited for more Conan shenanigans. Although it seems he's going back to his own time again? Even though the last savage avengers series had kang bring him back to the present because Conan thought kang was too scared to have him here.

Also nice to see weapon h again. Shame his happy end doesn't get to stick though

The fact that it's smaller in scale than the first Secret Invasion, and written by Ryan North, makes me think it won't be a dud like Secret Wars II or Civil War II.

The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]
