2 Years of Marvel Unlimited Have Come Full Circle...with this Physical Comic Book

About 2 years ago I was ready to switch to Marvel Unlimited because the Marvel Comics app was ending. I asked my Mom for a subscription for my birthday along with a comic book....any comic book, well any Marvel comic book. I thought having a physical comic to symbolize the otherwise digital gift would be fun, plus I wanted to see what book my comic illiterate Mom would gravitate towards. All I told her was to find something she thinks looks cool that I'd like.

She chose Sins of Sinister Dominion. My younger brother who lives with Mom said "I don't think Jesse's going to like that..." And he was right, I disliked Sinisters design and had far more affinity for most Marvel villains over Sinister, did she pick up on his big drag queen energy? I side stepped not wanting to diminish my Mom's choice (after all I got exactly what I wanted, Mom chose a comic I never would have) so I responded "That's awesome I love X-Men, thanks Mom!

Fast forward a bit and Krakoa has been my favorite Marvel comics era of all time. I've been treated to incredible characters old and new like: Forge, Beast, Exodus, Kate Pryde, Mystique and Destiny,Solemn, Xavier and Eric, Legion, Sage, Logan and his maybe poly arrangement with Scott and Jean, Quentin Quire, Isca the Unbeatable, Legion, Dr. James Madrox, Captain Kate Bishop, Kurt Wagner, Moira MacTaggert, The Exterminator gals, Emma Frost, the return of Madelyn Prior (I still have X-Force #1 from childhood which was my first exposure to her) Daken, Weaponless Zsen, Doctor Nemesis, that psycho Empath and the rest of the Hellions, Black Tom, Somnus, Bobby Drake, Cypher, Storm, Apocalypse, Warren Worthington, Hope, Cables and of course the man of the hour(millenium?) Sinister.

I straight up didn't like Sinister prior to reading him in Krakoa. His design turned me off and the Madelyn/Cable stuff was so long ago that I didn't care. But in Krakoa he's been hilarious and deeply interesting. One of my favorite comics is his repeated looney tunes like attempts to kill the quiet council. But not taking that goth goofball seriously is likely by design since my gut dropped when it's revealed WHY he wanted to kill Hope so badly.

And now I've read the finale of the best Krakoa event so far in my opinion Sins of Sinister Dominion. The book my Mom picked out for me over a year ago that I wrote off as a weird choice is now my most prized comic book.

I love you Mom.

What marvel superhero is no one's favorite? Just a character. Everyone knows who reads regularly but just no one cares that much about.

Apocalypse Seems Like a Nice Fella

Because I've never read him in anything before Krakoa. Tell me how wrong I am.

Are there any female anti-heroes?

The only one I can think of is Gwenpool. There's so many notable male anti-heroes (Wolverine, Punisher, Deadpool, Ghost Rider, Winter Soldier, Hulk and more) but I can't think of many Marvel female anti-heroes.

Marvel continuity

Are there definable jumping on point like how DC has post crisis - pre crises, post or pre flashpoint etc. how do the marvel characters stay young? Dc just resets them every few years. I'm unfamiliar with marvel comics as you can see. I picked up the new run of moon knight because of the Disney+ show and now am starting the midnight mission (Mackay's run). Is this the same Marc from his inception?

Original Sin and Hickman's Avengers: How much does it tie into that run?

I'm currently buying all of Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four, Avengers and New Avengers comics in paperbacks. I want to know how important Original Sin is to his Avengers series. It seems to have 6 tie-in issues to it.

The trade paperback costs about 30 dollars in my country, and I am not sure if it's a good idea to buy it. I heard that the event is fairly inconsequential and all over the place, so I have a lot of doubts about it.

Daredevil by Miller, X-Men by Claremont/Byrne/Austin and ....

Marvel fans know the story, or at least as it's been commonly told. In the 80s, both Daredevil and X-Men were selling poorly so Marvel allowed Frank Miller to do what he wanted with Daredevil and Chris Claremont, John Byrne and Terry Austin to do what they wanted with X-Men. (Again, that's how those runs are described, the truth might be a little different....) The results are legendary runs on the book which still inform the characters to this day, 40 years later! Wondering if any fans have seen this kinda thing more recently. Young creators, not a *lot* of name recognition (None of the creators mentioned above were doing their *first* pro work...) who came onto a series where your expectations were low and really knocked it out of the park. I think Marvel made a deliberate effort to expand its talent base back when Bendis first broke through in mainstream comics but since then ... It seems like most creators have a pretty solid base in non-mainstream comics so ... you don't really get a chance to be blown away by a new voice. But I'm hoping I'm wrong and someone has some examples they can share of a little known talent who got their shot on a Marvel title and really made his or her name and reputation.

West Coast Avengers is Back!

Just finished reading the first issue of the new West Coast Avengers series. It wasn’t a perfect issue, but I enjoyed it. Don’t want to spoil it, but I saw the cover and immediately spotted Ultron alongside all these heroes and thought, “Oh no.”

DC also that week released their latest team book, Justice League Unlimited #1. I found it interesting how both issues have teams have a colorful roster, some solid character moments, and the one character that may or may not be trusted.

Curious to see if this team will reduce or expand its roster as well as seeing what’s going on with its characters.

For those of you who read it, what did you think?
