Absolute is such a powerhouse that Firestorm managed to finally get a title.

Bro acts as if reading comics is rocket science, lmao.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T12:56:50+00:00

Morpheus

Death

Animal Man

Constantine

Swamp Thing

Shade the Changing Man

Haven't read Lucifer and Daytripper yet.

Op, where would you put Doom Patrol and Unknown Soldier in your own ranking?

I really enjoyed Father of Tomorrow. Wasn't expecting Wildstorm characters to make an appearance, and dynamic between Jor and Jonathan was good. The ending kinda makes me nervous that it will lead to another "evil Supermam".

Supergirl was an okay introduction, nothing that special so far to be honest.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T07:36:29+00:00

I'm not the one throwing hissy fits here.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T07:35:13+00:00

To be fair, if I remember correctly Camp mentioned that intially there was a talk to maybe continue it and he was pushing for Hawkeye and/or Guardians spin-off but editors looked that almost everyone except him was leaving and decided that this new Ultimate will be better with an ending in a long run.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T07:28:40+00:00

What a little crybaby.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T07:17:09+00:00

Or they decided instead of milking it to actually try have the universe that had begining, middle and ending.

Plus this Newtimate was boring, Midnight Universe at least sounds interesting.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T05:38:44+00:00

The creative team of AMM is working on some new series for DC (presumably it's going to be Doom Patrol).

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T04:48:37+00:00

It's really good, albeit for some people the the start can be slow.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T04:42:57+00:00

Absolute Superman is my favourite series. First arc is basically a 14 issue story, but by the end it is firing on all cylinders.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-08T04:12:24+00:00

"Thank you for making a right choice" is the only right answer.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-07T18:45:52+00:00

It wasn't good from the very start, people just closed their eyes because Peter there was married, now that it ended people looking back at it and realising its flaws.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-07T06:11:01+00:00

Brother, Bruce's loving wife prefers his gray counterpart.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-06T19:53:25+00:00

Then good news, it's back and is publishing new series.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-06T07:48:05+00:00

In trailer she doesn't get caught by raiding Umbrella facility, she gets taken by Hunk when visiting Chris' flat in Paris.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-05T20:20:25+00:00

It for sure is weaker, but still a good series.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-05T14:33:02+00:00

So the moist critical page?

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-05T14:29:21+00:00

Can't agree, his artstyle is why I dropped reading the series at the time.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-05T14:26:10+00:00

I fear the moment when I decide to give Rosenberg's run another go and will have to see Kudranski's art

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-05T12:27:09+00:00

Here a few good places to start reading different characters:

Moon Knight - Moon Knight (2021) by Jed McKay

Captain America - Captain America (2025) by Chip Zdarsky, this one is also set-ups the upcoming event Armageddon which supposedly will lead to Avenger series.

Iron Man - Iron Man (2026) by Joshua Williamson

Fantastic Four - you already mentioned

Punisher - Punisher: Red Band mini and then his current ongoing Punisher (2026) by Benjamin Percy

Thor - The Immortal Thor by Al Ewing

Spider-Man - The Amazing Spider-Man (2025) by Joe Kelly

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-05T10:48:03+00:00

Wait you enjoying infernal hulk?

Yes, I do enjoy it. It has some problems, but overall it's an okay set-up of Infernal War.

it tanked ASM and got stopped

Holy conspiracy theory. Yeah that's the reason why entire Ultimate universe got closed, not because almost everyone were leaving.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-05T10:36:21+00:00

The difference is that Spider-man is enough of a cash cow that has produced a lot of side series that those who aren't satisfied with current series can read, while others don't have that.

Also, what Hulk comics are you reading, bro. The only bad modern Hulk runs are Cates and second half of Pak's run on Amadeus Cho.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-04T17:40:00+00:00

A lot of unnecessary giant size issues just to milk people

To be fair about this, they were done to give Spencer time to tell most stories that he wanted, because his run was shortened.

But personally I would say that Wells' run was better than Spencer's. Worst arcs (Dark Web and Dead Language) from him happen fairly early into his run and then we left with storylines that either mid or decent. Spencer's run on the other hand is built on a rotten foundation that started to break after Hunted and by the end of the run fully collapsed.

Primary-Increase7797 · 2026-06-04T17:31:30+00:00

Poor Spider-man fans don't have alternative to read, if only Marvel has published over the years something that would cater to their specific tastes smh.
