My library's digital access is about six months behind reality at the moment, but it that Devil Dinosaur in a Doom hood?

shadowjaq.bsky.social•1 day ago

If it’s Devil Dinosaur why isn’t he red? 👀

teganoneil5000.bsky.social•1 day ago

that’s T-Rex Dr Doom from an alternate dino-verse, I think regular Doom is controlling him telepathically

"A good Marvel event" is some next-level cryptid shit but yeah, this is good. North delivers, as usual.

That's honestly amazing to hear -- a number of terrific writers have crashed CATASTROPHICALLY on the shore of writing a Marvel crossover event.

I have to say, I have been studiously avoiding Marvel crossovers for like a decade now, and I’ve even dropped off some series because of them (SW2 completely derailed my enjoyment of Ms Marvel).

comradebullski.bsky.social•1 day ago

Only a decade? Huh.

cinemastrikesback.bsky.social•23 hours ago

At least 😆

Honestly probably more since around, oh, the X Tinction Agenda? Which is when I mostly dropped Big 2 comics for about 15 years, came back in 2010 but have been avoiding crossovers since coming back.

cinemastrikesback.bsky.social•23 hours ago

So like 15 years of specifically avoiding crossovers following 15 years of avoiding Big 2 comics more generally.

There are a few doom curses in mainstream superhero curses that even some of the best writers are unable to withstand and yeah, writing a Marvel event is one. Writing an X-Men run is another.

end-sky.bsky.social•1 day ago

I've come to find that the ethos of X-Men has become kinda detestable to me, if just because of how much the books seem to unironically and uncritically embrace "homo superior" as a term. It's basically fascist eugenics given a coating for queer people.

Mark Waid said his very short X-Men run was the only thing he ever did strictly for the money. I’ve never heard him speak of it again and as far as I can tell, it’s never been reprinted or collected.

comradebullski.bsky.social•1 day ago

Some of it is in the Onslaught omni but dunno if all of it is.

end-sky.bsky.social•1 day ago

What about Hickman's Secret Wars?

teganoneil5000.bsky.social•1 day ago

it’s been ten years, which doesn’t make me feel old at all

end-sky.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess the secret to a good Marvel event now is to do a critically acclaimed and fan-beloved F4 run.

comradebullski.bsky.social•1 day ago

No way it's been ten years si-

Take 3d6 Sanity damage.

The funniest part is they just dusted this off and re-released it for the next anniversary

djconvoy.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I guess I'll get the trade... electronically. I'm pretty much done with the new comic day grind and wasn't super impressed with the first issue

teganoneil5000.bsky.social•22 hours ago

yeah, the first issue was really flat … filled with people sitting around a table yakking about the premise, never a confident sign. it got better!

crushingcomics.bsky.social•1 day ago

interesting - I loved #1 and I feel like it's been a downward spiral since then, but I'm one behind at the moment

dorwright.bsky.social•1 day ago

I've seen so many people argue that its some sort of Trump apologia and I can only assume that, as usual, they are getting that from reddit or scans daily and not actually reading the book, because hoo boy is that a misread of the book.
