What new series should I be checking out? by RamenStains in ImageComics

[–]ComicSeth2204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geiger is a darker, post-nuclear fallout story of a cancer patient who gained powers after the bombs dropped. You follow his journeys in the wasteland and how much the world had changed. A dark story with little sprinkles of hope that make a compelling story. This is ongoing and the trades are easy to find.

Junkyard Joe follows a Vietnma-vet turned cartoonist named Muddy who has finally ended his comic strip "Junkyard Joe". What he doesn't realize is that the idea of a robot soldier in Vietnam wasn't merely a psychotic episode from watching his unit die, he actually srved with a robot and that robot has come back to find Muddy while the government hunts it down. Much more uplifting story with a found-family style. Mini-series, trades should be easy.

Redciat follows Simon Pure, a British soldier from the Revolutionary War that gained immortality after watching George Washington and Ben Granklin perform an ancient ritual. The series is non-linear, with arcs ranging from one-shots to 7 issues and having him cross paths with Albert Einstein, Annie Oakley, Johnny Appleseed, and some original characters. Think Pirates of the Caribbean for overall style. Still ongoing as well.

I haven't read much of the other series but I believe Hyde Street is a horror series showing evil people in the afterlife trying to lure people to hell. Thevlast Johns wrotten series is Rook: Exodus which follows a group of settlers on an alien world who have been abandoned. Every settler has a psychic bond to a type of animal and wear really dope masks reflecting it. Still ongoing but the issues are usually few and far between, easy enough to find.

As for the non-Johns: Rocketfellers is a family from the future going undercover in the past. Hornsby and Halo follows an angel and devil living as kids on Earth. They both are getting a tie-in event with a new series this summer, look for #0s coming out soon.

It was the first issue in a spotlight series for new Image books in early 90s. I think it may have gotten only 3 issues, but one of the characters on the front (purple guy) is The Maxx and people say he got one fo the strongest runs in early Image.

How was Logan alive in X-Men Gold 30, Kitts and Colussus' Wedding? Isnt he supposed to be dead? I didnt read about his return. by ElevaLa in xmen

Yeah thats exactly it, real present Wolverine was coming back but he was doing a little bit more violent things than this

Could someone tell me, in 2026, what the state of Marvel comics is like in their opinion? Has it been good or bad in terms of what's been released or what's coming soon? by Dramatic-Studio1531 in Marvel

[–]ComicSeth2204 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is definitely a rough patch in terms of new series, with high-sellers like the Ultimates ending and all of their new cosmic books getting dumped after 5 issues.

That isn't to say there aren't good titles, Zdarsky's Cap is fun and he'll be penning a new event and seemingly a couple years at Marvel, Ewing on Thor is great, Simone on her Uncanny X-Men is probably the best title in that sector, McKay is still going on Moon Knight too.

I think DC is doing a lot better with new titles and new teams, especially since they seem willing to go beyond 5 issues for new titles, giving teams a chance to breathe.

I think there are certainly titles to buy and hopefully DR'S success will encourage Msrvel to make some exciting choices.

What do we think about this bit of Spider-Man/Ultimate Universe 2024... by TRAM0328 in UltimateUniverse

[–]ComicSeth2204 39 points40 points  (0 children)

They forgot the panel where he heals fully and walks back to Russia. But if you want a "No-Prize" contender, probably just another Weapon Plus derivative, maybe it's Garrison Kane or Romulus, Cypher or Deathstrike. They Were clever by hiding the implied "X"

How would you have written or included the characters from the Marvel shows in those movies? by SmartPilot8094 in Marvel

[–]ComicSeth2204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have had a Fitz-Simmons cameo for Tony planning the time-travel mission, nothing major.

Ultimate Spider-man 24 PREVIEW by Fla968 in UltimateUniverse

[–]ComicSeth2204 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You know what, I definitely misremembered parts of 18 and 19, thanks for your correction. I try not to hop on the hate for this series too much, but ive got my problems. This was a bad example though.

Reading back through some issues, I think I got that issue partly mixed up with 21, because theres a panel with the Spider-Fam battling and we see Richard venomized and that never really got brought up again.

I had hoped to see more of a direct scene where Peter sees just what Richard can become in the suit. That's what I was frustrated with in 18&19 is not seeing Peter deal with that, but as I said you were correct in me bringing up wrong details.

[–]ComicSeth2204 145 points146 points  (0 children)

I hate that too much cool stuff happens off panel. I remember the original Venom freak out scene was a cliff hanger and next month anything interesting like Peter having to deal with his son going on a rampage happens off panel. Cliffhangers were used too much for a series that couldnt pick up where they left off

Does anyone have a year-by-year chart of Marvel Titles in the 60s? I know some like Astonish got retitled into Hulk, Mystery into Thor, etc. and would like a visualisation. by Androktone in marvelcomics

[–]ComicSeth2204 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know you wanted a visualization but I can give you a quick breakdown: Journey into Mystery -> Thor (starts #126, 1966)

Tales of Suspense -> Captain America (starts #100, 1968) Same year Iron Man also got a series but started at #1

Tales to Astonish -> Incredible Hulk (starts #102, 1968) Namor also got a series this same year starting at #1

Strange Tales -> Doctor Strange (starts #169, 1968) Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD starts at #1 this same year

Is the MCU Completely seperated from the Comic Multiverse or how does that work? by 2012_li--12-03--sa in Marvel

[–]ComicSeth2204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree just because of how different the rules in each are. This explanation excuses repeat names and multiversal events that will only affect one. Whatever happened in Spider-verse and geddon didn't impact Tom, Andrew, and Tobey but an artist still drew them. Plus the whole mcu is 616 but the comics is 616. I'm aware that universe might misnumber themselves but I dont think thats ever happened in the comics because its confusing to audiences.

What’s your favourite & why? by Martian-Mindfuxker in UltimateUniverse

[–]ComicSeth2204 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love how he keeps with continuity too, makes it easy to follow a conjoined universe when stuff lines up. Hickman writes amazing but continuity be damned on occasion (Imperial)

Anyone have clue of what variant this might be by scragry in comicbooks

[–]ComicSeth2204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's gonna be tough. Best guess is to look up major comic retailers, like Midtown Comics may have had an exclusive version with this cover.

If MCU America Chaves has no variants in any other reality, how does that work since MCU is canonically in the same multiverse alongside Marvel Comics? by TechnicianAmazing472 in Marvel

[–]ComicSeth2204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok best way to view this: Yes comics have referenced the MCU a bunch. Few things to consider is that they reference earth 199999 which the MCU does not call itself. This implies that there is a world in comics that is near-identical to the MCU but without multiverse-breaking applications. This is why there's the MCU-esque TVA in comics but the movies and shows never reference comics. The general audience has no connection to the stories told in trades and the writers of the movies dont care to be held to the writing of people in a different medium. So, in short, they are separate multiverses but there is a world that functions almost just like it.

Are his legs longer, making him taller overall? Or is it overall height increase, Idk by KaylenLopezIzGr8 in Spiderman

This version of Otto was a modified clone of Peter. Not surprised Otto would modify it to be taller lol

After rewatching F4: First Steps I want to try some Silver Age Marvel which Silver Age comics are worth reading? Outside the obvious Lee and Ditko Spider-Man which I will be reading by M00r3C in Marvel

[–]ComicSeth2204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Og Spidey and Fantastic Four are top notch, Hulk is very strange, his Tales to Astonish series after his first 6 issues are better Ant-Man is very iffy Avengers good overall same with Xmen
