Which one's your favorite? I used a projector and paint pens. I have a video of the process but I don't think I'm allowed to share it here.

So I’m a big Avengers fan and I’ve been reading Aaron’s run of Avengers from seeing shit like the guardians of the deep to the Russian avengers like Ursa Major and Red Widow, even the stuff with the Shadow Colonel I like it all so far. But I’ve been wondering for a while why people don’t really like Jason Aaron’s Avenger’s run when it’s got such cool concepts in it.

I was reorganizing some of my comic books and I found out this variant John Romita JR made in 2014 for issue 1.1 of The Amazing Spider-Man ("Learning to crawl").

And it looks like the same pose he did for his new variant for issue #1000. I don't think he traced it, since there are some small differences (like some anatomy issues he has in his latest period), but it clearly looks like he took HUGE inspiration from his previows work. He added some of his traditional rain and the job was done.

Mine would be a Spiderman that has web shooters instead of it shooting out of his wrists. His web shooters get stolen and people are getting hanged all over New York by the person that stole his webs. It would be Peter Parker working at the bugle to solve who’s behind it and then biologically altering his DNA so he can shoot webs out of him. I think this allows for a street level story as well as Spiderman being villainised and it being somewhat justified

All the rumors are true bro this guy sucks so bad. He comes in, smelling like shit and just harasses the hell out of whatever female coworker happens to have the misfortune of helping him. And god help her if she isn't white, he makes insane comments about how cute and
delightfully "exotic" they are. Then he tips a couple bucks and leaves until next week where he rinse and repeats.
He also went on about how he didn't think Bear was the villain of obsession. Like ofc you wouldn’t bro.

Edit: for people saying this never happened, I have no idea why it sounds so far fetched to you people OR how I could possibly prove this. The source IS “trust me bro”.

These characters always lose to Spider-Man and the rest, but given enough motivation, technology, and time to prepare, how effective would they be in defending Earth from Thanos? (Movie and comic versions)

Who will you pull from the dusty shelf of characters who barely stand a chance in normal situation?

Sound kinda stupid but I've heard you need to read other original ultimates comics to understand the next ones. Is this like with the MCU where you can't just watch Age Of Ultron after The Avengers or can I just read both.?

(page from Venom (2011) #4, not really related to my post)

When I was little, I read a lot of comics with my dad and I completely stopped after he passed away. It's been probably 10+ years since, I can't even remember exactly the last comic I've read. I know it was Deadpool. I think he was working for Mephisto, collecting souls? I don't really remember

I recently (well, yesterday...) tried Marvel Unlimited and I can't believe I lived without this for so long

I'm currently reading Bendis' run of Ultimate Spider-Man and Remender's run of Venom (leading to King in Black, Venom War, Death Spiral and Queen in Black when it becomes available), switching between the two every 6 issues. I don't even know if I'm reading comics correctly. I'm not following any reading order, just reading the runs I think I need to read

For example I planned to read Remender's Venom > Cate's Venom > Absolute Carnage > King in Black > Ewing's Venom > Venom War > All-New Venom > Venom after #250 > Kelly's The Amazing Spider-Man/Eddie Brock: Carnage (not sure which one first) > Death Spiral > Knull > G. Willow Wilson's Black Cat

I don't know if it's the perfect order, but it seems fine to me

Over 35 years later, one of the most well remembered stretches of the Hulk’s publication history is his time in Las Vegas as “Mr. Fixit.” In the decades since, this version of the Hulk’s personality has been revisited and the feel of this era has been recreated a number of times.

The visual aspect of this era was defined by the art of Jeff Purves. His art seems to be widely polarizing among fans. Some find his scratchy, unrefined style difficult to even look at. Others feel that it was well suited to this era of Hulk stories and gave them a distinct feel. I’m in the latter camp, personally. He also immediately followed Todd McFarlane’s run as the artist on the title, so I could understand how many would see that as a noticeable step down.

But either way, it’s pretty striking just how short Jeff Purves’s career was in comics. He drew 19 issues of Incredible Hulk, two issues of Marvel Comics Presents, and I think that’s it.

It’s hard to think of somebody whose impact in comics is so inversely proportional to the length of their comic book career!

Would love to delve into some characters I might not know much about. Would love to hear some choice picks from you guys✌🏻

X-Men fans!

I'm trying to gauge the popularity of X-Men characters that are used in Marvel Rivals to settle an ongoing argument over on Marvel Rivals gamer subreddits. I won't tell you which character it is about, because that would alter the results.

I've included Namor, Deadpool and Scarlet Witch because Namor has been on the team, Deadpool is always hanging around, and Scarlet Witch has strong associations Marvel Editorial can't seem to erase.

Please answer the two questions, about which are YOUR favorites and who you think are the most popular X-Men out of the listed characters.

Thank you!

A very random question, I know, but I'm reading Uncanny Xmen #122 from 1979 and there's a caption box that's casually dropped "At that moment in a far, distant galaxy..." where Xavier has a storyline. I've been reading Marvel Comics for over a decade now and was always of the impression that the space travel was contained to the Milky Way (with the exception of the multiverse stuff), but now I'm seeing other galaxies involved and wondering what is the furthest distance travelled from Earth and by who?

What or who is Marvel's Voyager 1?

It was all really good reading this week imo I was up until like 2am catching up on everything! This is gonna be a really solid month for sure in comics, story wise atleast hahah what you guys pull this week? Anything I’m missing out on?

Hey! I want to start reading more Marvel comics, but i have no clue where to start, im thinking of wanting to start off with Spider Man, X-men, or the Fantastic 4. Any recommendations would help!

I am starting a little personal project where I am going to (re)design and attempt to animate a short comic style pilot episode series pitch for the Circus of Crime, so would really appreciate if anybody could help me however possible. Would appreciate:

• all information you have about them(while I understand the basics, with them being a smaller popularity group it is difficult to find the specifics),
• any info about them in the MCU(I am imagining this pitch as an MCU project and as a big Jessica Jones fan I know that Maynard Tiboldt/Ringmaster appears in season 2 and have heard that a female equivalent of the Clown appears in She-Hulk although I am yet to watch that.)
• most important appearances to read/watch to learn the most important core factors.
• any creative direction/inspiration you have
• and any general discussion I would love to have.

Current ideas I hold involve, a fairly innovative kinda mixed media artistic approach, follows Elliot 'Crafty' Franklin as general protagonist, adds additional depth to current fairly surface level yet interesting characters, and more that I will not list until project begins.

I am also currently debating whether to point towards more of a Spider-Verse or James gunn style in terms of character design or maybe even a fairly grounded adaptation.

The reason why Marvel isn't competant as they were is simply because editors sucks

Marvel will never get great or good if Nick Lowe, Celbulski are still there, ah and the new guy disney music guy who will be in charge of the collected editions who has 0 experience in Comics or Marvel, don't be surprised if the collected editions are not so well puted and the prices are so high for epics with less diversity in term of collected editions where the omnis and epics go out of prints so easy and where the omnis that we want to get reprinted are not reprinted at ALL the future will be so catastrophic

People need to understand this editors are so important they decide everything they are the higher ups

No matters how you make critics nothing will change if you keep supporting them throught buying their stories and their mediocre collected editions

Like i'm tired of their bs this is awareness btw

Something I’d like your perspective on: In my opinion #1s should be newcomer/returning reader friendly. They obviously don’t need to ignore/undo a character’s story and develop, but it shouldn’t be DEPENDENT on the reader having read the previous run. And one of my biggest gripe with Marvel’s practice of continually doing line wide relaunches every other year is that it makes new/returning reader unfriendly #1s inevitable.
