My Wolverine costume for Halloween, worked hard to put this one together this year lol even grew my hair out and some "chops" what y'all think ?? (Only the background is edited out)
You’re telling me you’ve created a portal to hell, turned off your sons “mutant” powers and created an away to nullify the Skrulls ability to shapeshifter…but can’t cure Ben?
Kids discovered a way to temporarily “cure” him in less than a month.
Does anyone know if any of the various "exclusive" releases, such as physical-only Red Band books and Marvel Unlimited digital books, will ever be collected and sold via Comixology?
I joined up with Comixology practically on day one, no LCS in my area, multiple publishers to get books from, etc, and am not willing to go the route of streaming services where I have to join everyone just to get a few books, but now I am missing out on what appears to be crucial plot points in the books I read.
When did Havok/Alex leave Maddie and get back with Lorna as an even more pathetic fuckboy? When did Warren get resurrected (again) after the whole Hellfire Gala debacle? What is going on with Jack Russel? Why was Dan the Ghost Rider in Blood Hunt if Johnny reclaimed Zarathos from the Hood? Putting any of these answers in books with virtually no access is BS in my mind, it would be different if it was just in a book I missed but could find if I hit the digital equivalent of a quarter bin. Maybe I'm just being pigheaded but I'd rather not pay for two more subscriptions and have to drive 80+ miles just to pick up one or two extra books at seemingly random to get what are major plot points that radically change characters.
I am having trouble identifying this person, can anyone please help? What comic book is it from as well?
The Wolverine vs Predator was one of my favorite mini series last year. Black Panther vs Predator they completely dropped the ball. They make the Predators so weak. Logan had so much trouble with one, and had a centuries long battle. Here, Okoye has already dropped 3, Shuri drops one it's like everybody gets a Yautja body. Do Not Recommend. Read Wolverine vs Predator.
What's the best comic you can suggest for me to start reading (and can I read online somewhere for free?)
Besides your local comic book shops, is Barnes and nobles the 2nd most reliable store that sells comics? I’m only talking about physical locations, not online comics like MU. I’m asking this question because after thinking about places to visit physical shops and buy comics it’s kinda hard to name them besides lcs and Barnes and nobles. My nearest Barnes N Nobles location has a pretty large graphic novel section. HOWEVER, only 2 shelves are comic (marvel and DC). The rest of the shelves are manga. Each time I go to Barnes n nobles more shelves are added for manga and less space is provided for comics. It’s kinda frustrating as a comics fan
Hello! I just finished Agatha All Along. In the second to last episode, we can see the emotional return of Jen's magic. I'm more knowledgeable of the MCU, than the comics, so I wanted to know, does cutting a magic user off from their magic have any negative physical or mental effects? Like do they immediately get exhausted or feel weaker? Does their mental state decline?
Hello guys,
I am getting back into reading comics. I got access to the marvel platform and was wondering if you could recommend some good story lines. I have ready the ultimate and amazing spider man, civil war 1,2, house of M, infinity gauntlet.
Thank you .

Im going on a trip for a few months and I want to take a comic with me. Any recommendations for a run that is pretty self contained and is not huge(don't want it taking too much space) Thanks all in advance
Hey guys,
It’s been a long time since I last read a comic and that was King In Black but when it came out … recently I decided to get back into it and I would like some assistance to find the comics about venom and Eddie that came after King In Black as I would like to know what happens with Dylan….
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated thanks
I'm enjoying this series, even if the premise is a little weird. This issue was fun all the way around. I really like the art its been solid every issue.
I got into comics cause of the Young Avengers being set up in the MCU, and I fully admit Cassie is my favorite so this is for sure biasing me in my thinking, just to admit it fully. That said, wouldn't next years One World Under Doom event be the perfect time to bring the team back? Here's my reasons why:
1: Next year marks the 20 year anniversary of the Young Avengers debut by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung
2: Doom and the Young Avengers are being built up in the MCU, so you have good timing on brand synergy
3: Doom is getting a universe spanning event that's gonna touch basically everything, and we know the Young Avengers are largely scattered but still out there doing their thing.
4: It'd be such a slam dunk narrative. Volume 2 saw Kate and the rest of the team have a coming of age story where they generally all fall into their places in the world more solidly, while Cassie was dead due to the tragic ending of Children's Crusade, breaking the team apart. With Cassie alive again, they could do a really solid story built around the team rejoining and having her finally age back into her original team as it were, since age wise she's been left behind. The rest have all become adults and grown into their stories, but Cassie is still trapped in her old place as the aspiring kid hero. Having the team come together with Cassie there, to face down the man that killed her and broke their found family apart seems like such a juicy opportunity for great story telling.
Matt Fraction wrote a great Scott Lang/FF piece in the wake of Children's Crusade that did a lot to show Scott's grief over the loss of his daughter, and that's a really human story that does a great job blending the sorrow of the unpleasantness as Reed puts it, vs the humor of an Ant-Man story.
I think next year's OWUD event would be the perfect place to finally give Cassie the spotlight for a bit and have her come into her own as a character, both in her superhero life and in her regular just coming of age life. The potential for Scott having to learn to let go, something parents are rarely ever ready for is such a great place to start. And the drama of Cassie's growing up story being not just about becoming an adult, but facing down her killer, that's got so much potential.
I really just been thinking about this since they announced it, and I'm new to comics so I doubt I know how any of it works and I'm probably getting my hopes up, but I think this could be it. I'm an amateur writer, but even I can recognize narrative opportunity when I see it. And I think the idea of putting the Young Avengers together again to rally around their now back-from-the-dead little sister as she finally becomes an adult in her own story for once would be great. Cassie has always been a supporting character for everyone else, and with Doom now taking the center stage, I think it's a perfect chance for her to finally get her time as the lead character in her own story. And it isn't about "make her the best", but more so just give her a chance. She's a cool character with a lot of potential, and I think this would be the best time ever for her to get a coming of age story.
So yeah, am I crazy or does that make sense?
I heard that it drops off in quality after reborn but the winter soldier solo series is good. If i just skip ahead to the winter soldier series would i miss anything?
Hey guys, I just watched venom the last dance and I wanted to know if there was a Canon storyline that can be followed in the comics? I'm like 99% sure the movie left out a ton because it was absolute bullcrap and I wanted to read the parts left out. I'm an absolute noob to comics and would like a recommendation on how to fill the blanks that this movie left.
I’m listening to the novelization of Original Sin, and I’m enjoying the parts where the seriousness of Frank Castle is contrasted with the ridiculousness around him. Any good comics that highlight that contrast especially well?
So I partly want to read Black Panther by Eve L. Ewing, the 2023 run, but I know there’s likely some background reading I need to do and not jump in blind, so what do I need to read to know context and stuff to the run?
Does anyone know a good place to get gwenpool comics? i currently have the unbelievable gwenpool #0-#8 #13 #14, and i'd like to finish the series
