Also, is it just me, or does the new Deadpool have too many zombies in it? Deadpool's had that kind of problem for years now. his book never has any heart anymore, it's all just schtick. It's why I've soured on his character a bit. He's been essentially Flanderized into "the wacky fourth wall breaking guy". |

Plus Spider-Ock broke Scopions jaw off which is probably what Pete should have done ages ago. Punching a man's face off isn't a very heroic thing to do. True, but Ock only did it because he didn't realise Pete pulled his punches, which I find odd as Scorpion originally is supposed to be stronger and tougher than Spider-man that was his whole rational for being created in the first place. (Unless he had a power loss, which I don't think he has, as he survived falling from a space shuttle recently) So by that logic I would expect Spider-man to not pull his punches when fighting Scorpion. |

I just heard on some other sites I visit that apparently one of my favorite comic writers, Peter David, has suffered a stroke. I hope he's alright and is able to make a full recovery. Aw man I just found out, David is my all time favorite writer of anything. I even had to pleasure to get some direct advice from him both online and in person. One of the funniest and charming people I've ever interacted with. I really hope he can recover fully and do the things he's loves (rather it being with his family or writing). My father had a stroke as well and made a full-recovery but not everyone is as fortunate. |

(Unless he had a power loss, which I don't think he has, as he survived falling from a space shuttle recently) So by that logic I would expect Spider-man to not pull his punches when fighting Scorpion. Someone in that scene (Ock, or a bystander) did mention that he aimed for the only vulnerable spot on the costume, which is a smart thing but also something Pete wouldn't have done even to Scorpion. I would imagine Pete, knowing he could punch the man's jaw off, wouldn't be THAT cruel to him. Ock could be that cruel, though; but again, even he had no idea of the strength behind the punch until Scorp's jaw was flying across the room. It was a key example of Ock figuring out just who Peter is/was - he had the power to fatally injure even the worst of foes, yet he didn't. For a reason. Great power, responsibility, all that jazz... |

So I recently started Hickman's run on Fantastic Four and I'm loving it so far. Alternate reality Reeds are a thing of beauty.

So I recently started Hickman's run on Fantastic Four and I'm loving it so far. Alternate reality Reeds are a thing of beauty. I've very slowly been getting into it. Read his first storyarc when he first started, read a few issues of FF (Inhumans stuff, which kinda/sorta tied into WAR OF KINGS), then most recently pounded away at both series at the time of the big FF #600 story. He did a remarkable job using FF and F4 to tell one big story from 2 different angles. I'm probably going to pick it all up eventually. I'm also surprised that I'm not 100% lost having only read bits and chunks of it - he is doing a yeoman's job at telling a big intertwining story, but it's so well done that you can actually walk in at any point and......get it. Which just makes you want to read the whole thing, because that's impressive. |

Deadpool's had that kind of problem for years now. his book never has any heart anymore, it's all just schtick. It's why I've soured on his character a bit. He's been essentially Flanderized into "the wacky fourth wall breaking guy". I entirely blame Daniel Way for that. He's the reason I stopped reading the last Deadpool series. I loved Joe Kelly's run on the character because it had heart, and you could see that he was a troubled guy masking it with humor, as opposed to being a batshit crazy cartoon. I also loved Rick Remender's take on him in Uncanny X-Force. I loved that he called a team meeting because Fantomex shooting a kid upset him. |

I would pay good money for a Hickman FF/Fan4 collection hardcover.
Same if they ever collect some of the DnA cosmic stuff in a jumbo hardcover.

F4/FF would be either split up in 2, or just not possible. And if Marvel doesn't do a DnA Guardians collection of any kind (Omnibus, reissues of the mostly hard-to-find HC's/TPB's) when the movie comes out, they're insanely stupid (or stupidly insane). |

I would pay good money for a Hickman FF/Fan4 collection hardcover. Same here, it was a tremendous run. I'm so excited to see where he's going with Avengers. Is anybody else enjoying Uncanny Avengers so far? |

They kept publishing his book, and kept Way on for 5 years, and capitalized on his sudden popularity with a plethora of low-quality books that turned his schtick into an ungodly unstoppable and largely ridiculous menace. Now that's it toned back (with decent usage in UXF and "calmer" writers keeping him in comedic line), he's moreorless ok again. |

I just want it hard bound and big. Same with DnA's big events at the least |
