Secret Wars 2015 - Main is banging, current issue is 5 atm.
The one offs? holy fuck does some of this shit suck. the only standouts i can currently recommend are
Old man Logan
Infinity Gauntlet
Guardians of Knowhere
Squadron Sinister
Siege
A lot of other stuff started out ok, but then just suck, so far these are the ones i'm keeping.
*edit*
finished Future Imperfect, uh, sucks, took it off the list.

The problem with graded comics from the late 80s and 90s is that it's really a bubble. There's a shitload of gradable quality comics sitting in bags/boards and ungraded that could massively ramp the supply of them. We aren't talking about the 1 copy of Action 1 that's 9.0 or higher that sold on Ebay for 3 million or whatever.

I just hate the concept of vacuum packed graded comics. I mean I get it and all. It's just a travesty to me. Granted everything is reprinted or you can just torrent anything created but still.

Oh im not exactly the most excited he is going to be HULK, but it's better than him being in the Rick Jones legacy bin of history. I really wanted him to get smarter and older and become the 4th...or 3rd smartest man in the worldthe Mantle of the Hulk has never been passed down, sure they created red/she/betty hulks, but not the name. To name a few, Bill Foster and giant man 2, killed by cyber-Thor in Civil War. Rhody was IronMan for a few years, even during original Secret Wars, this was when Stark was drunk all the time. And recently we have gender swap w/ chick-Thor, does anyone not know who it is yet?
Cancer ridden Jane Foster who becomes more cancery when she dons the hammer.
Amadeus has been around for 10 years, i'm pretty sure he was created as a minor deux machina to stop Hulk from smashing,
here's his first major appearance.
and why he was probably created (since he was also the Hulks biggest fan)
he also doesn't have emo baggage, Uncle Ben w/ great power!...., or damn you pearl necklace, ma and pa wayne are dead!
Nope, his parents were bombed and dead and he's able to confront the man who found him, (Amadeus become the 7th smartest guy by solving an online puzzle sponsored by Excello soap, perputrated by the 6th smartest guy)
At least when they created him, they didn't kung fu up his ass like every other stupid asian created by Marvel.
The minute he appeared in the WWH, everyone knew he was gonna rick jones his way into some kind of Hulk shit.
. He did get a swanky new suit and mace!Amadeus cho is great
Oh I agree and these two issues are the only ones I would buy like that because I am buying them as wall art. (out of sunlight)I just hate the concept of vacuum packed graded comics. I mean I get it and all. It's just a travesty to me. Granted everything is reprinted or you can just torrent anything created but still.
I don't own a single graded comic but those two I would instead of a fancy painting.
If you want wall art you can get artist proofs of the cover cheaper than some books to be honest and imo they are way more valuable and badass.
I want this piece from Tim Bradstreet from a Star Wars collecting card and RPG short story.

Maybe not as cool but I would LOVE some original stuff to hang up on my sons walls from Herobear and the Kid. One of my absolute favorite series of all time. I really love Mike Kunkel's art style.

What is with this Benetton/Power Rangers multicultural shit Marvel is doing? As an Asian minority who has read comics in the 90's I was never emo that there wasn't a guy like me in a comic book that didn't entail Wolverine going to Japan and making red shirts out of Asians.
And dorks like Shang chi and Sunfire were downright stupid to disgusting.
which i guess is why Kamala Khan(Ms. Marvel) and Amadeus Cho actually have a character and a personality, created by their respective representative races.
But no, back then i was never hugging my issues of Darkhawk and New Warriors, going "why aren't one of you slanty eyes!", no i was like oh cool, new teen comics i can relate to.
The majority of you guys probably old white guys so you can't relate, or maybe theres a white Trans (whatever the fuck they wanna be called these days) among yous?
Or is there a black guy among you who held on to Luke Cage or the Falcon or T'challa cuz you could identify w/ their blackness?
Look at all the Gays that Marvel fails at, they are so bad at Gays that the only way to fix them, is to kill them.
Phylla Vell, they kill
Victoria Hand, they kill
and they always just seem to use the Gay thing as a "duh duh duh" plot twist!
or to make headlines,
Iceman is gay! buzzfeed me.
Do i care they're intent on making cap black, thor a chick, ms Marvel a muslim, hulk a korean? no, but you can't trust Marvel, not to fuck it up.
Look at what they're doing w/ Black Cap Falcon. Cap passes on the mantle to Falcon so now he's Black Cap,... Only then they put him in the Axis storyline and your new Black Cap, is an evil motherfucker!
great.
Now they have this shit coming out next week
yea no subtlety there, if you miss Captain America, here he is on the cover, ALSO if you're a blind mother fucker, we're calling it Captain America:WHITE! so you know it's not about the black one. (yea i know it's actually Jeph loebs color series, but come on mother fucker pick red instead of white when you're gonna do this)(cuz blue was already used for spidey)

Is Jessica Jones a Jew? could Luke Cage be persuaded to convert? Ritter who plays Jessica is a Jew, the show also has a Jew showrunner, but doubtful since her real name is Jessica Campbell.

That's just how lanx does posts. It's like reading anything by Caliane: you have to realize that he's posting thoughts from an ipad that was developed in 1987. They are coherent, but the formatting causes issues in modern browsers.
I don't think Amadeus Cho being an interim hulk is bad at all. It adds some cerebral issues to the fray that generally aren't considered a core part of the Hulk mentality. Could be pretty cool, in my opinion.

I like Secret Wars overall, but the event is dragging due in large part to the delays. There are so many books that I'm losing track of what I liked/didn't, and when in doubt just not buying it.
There are some interesting bits and pieces in most of the books, but not sure an event has ever been so full of throwaway stories. We'll see how the transition to new books goes... especially now that I think some will hit the shelves before this concludes, albeit with their '8 months later' thing so they don't have to explain everything right away.
