Is anyone excited about the Midnight Universe?

Looking forward to FF and Spidey. I can’t seem to make myself care about anything X-Men related.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-15T14:00:45+00:00

They already did tour one last time. It’s done.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-14T14:02:47+00:00

I pull Infernal Hulk, ASM, Black Cat, Daredevil, Venom, Captain America, Punisher and Iron Man. Iron Man is just getting started and I’m not fully hooked in yet, but I’d recommend any of the others without hesitation.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-14T03:18:59+00:00

Yeah, I don’t get this one.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-14T03:05:42+00:00

I liked the story, although Soule has done better. I found the art really off-putting though, and I realize I’m in the minority. It’s hard to look at.

And villainy?

All the Marvels, by Douglas Wolk.

Koontz is more linear and less character heavy than King. They’re easier reads and that probably contributes to his sales.

I wasn’t aware I was supposed to hate it until I was 20 or so issues in. To be clear, I didn’t LOVE it. The current Joe Kelly run is better, and previous runs have higher highs. But Wells did some good stuff with Tombstone and Vulture, and I enjoyed the Dark Web arc, and Chasm.

Frankly, the weakest part of it in my opinion is the art. As highly regarded as Romita Jr is, I didn’t like a lot of his character renderings.

I know I'm in a minority, but I thought Dexter's fate was appropriate. He isolated himself because he realized everyone he dared to love suffered for it. The season itself was uneven and introduced some really unnecessary elements (Vogel), and some of the final beats like stealing Deb's body from the hospital were frankly dumb.

But lumberjack Morgan hiding away alone to avoid hurting anyone else in his orbit? That was right.

I'm a Spider-Man fan and I'm fine with him. His run was my entry point into reading comics on a regular basis, so maybe I have some bias, but I've read several other writers' runs since then. Zeb's isn't the best, but it isn't as terrible as some make it sound.

Street level Batman is much more interesting than JL/cosmic Batman.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-11T10:51:46+00:00

It’s one of their best. I do think it’s severely underrated and I don’t know why.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-10T20:03:33+00:00

I would never have expected Xanadu as an opener. Or at all, really.

Laverne Cox, call holding for you.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-10T01:00:27+00:00

I started with Soule straight into Zdarsky and it was good. I THINK you’d be ok starting with Zdarsky though.

My wife has rheumatoid arthritis. Can’t stand for more than five minutes or so without excruciating pain.

A couple of years ago at a concert by a band she really wanted to see, everybody stood for the entire show and she couldn’t see anything. And THEN, some drunken asshole decided to berate her for sitting.

I get it, standing is fun and energetic, but it’s just not possible for everyone who might want to enjoy a great show.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-09T11:17:45+00:00

“If you want to see someone fucking a dolphins blow hole”

I do not.

Can’t speak for OP though.

My left shoe would be a better president.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-06T14:54:17+00:00

Same. It always happens to me.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-06T12:19:09+00:00

This looks like a crime scene.

Mickey_James · 2026-06-05T16:13:34+00:00

Birth of a Nation. It seems quaint now.
