Old thread isn't bumping.

Good and Bad things are happening.

Wolverine's got a new suit, no healing factor, and is working for bad guys.

Deadpool is awesome.

New Ms. Marvel might be awesome.

Really hope its nice polymorphic girl stories with her powers getting her in and out of situations between things and her dad is some oldie hero from ages past. I'm really hoping this is as far from a Mutant Book tone wise as possible if one understand my meaning. I really need a dose of fun cape comics dammit.

She has inhuman origins? That means after her solo book ends she's going to spend the rest of time standing silently behind Karnak and Medusa.

I really don't give a Shit about how this character will end up, and having that expectation in superhero comics or ANY serial medium means you should stop reading now and forever.

I'm just hoping for a 10-25 issue solo series with a fun attitude (though its G Willow Wilson so expect serious parts) that may or may not inspire more diversity in the medium on both a creator and character level.

My expectations are certainly optimistic, but I dont feel that they're too unreasonable.

Shit, they are just going to replace Peter as Spider-man with Miles aren't they? Because Peter isn't young enough anymore and "Spiderman MUST be a kid"? Forcing Miles and other choice elements into the 616 while killing off the Ultimatverse is so stupid.

Also, completely separate from any opinions about the title itself, why the fuck did "Spock" become the go-to abbreviation for Otto in Peter's body? It's just genuinely annoying to see used in online conversation simply because there's another iconic character named Spock who is also a large figure in genre media and had a huge movie this year. It's especially confusing when people use it in threads that are not about Spider-man.

It's not like it's the only option:
Spotto
Potto
Pocktavious
Ockto-man
Spiderpus
Ockdey
Inkhead

Or even just "Doc Spock"

It's not like any of those are any more or less mocking than Spock.

I checked out Secret Avengers, Mighty Avengers and Thunderbolts. All not that bad. I have no idea why Captain Marvel is such crap when Pretty Deadly has been pretty good.

Man, take a year break from comics and now I don't recognize like a third of the creator names.

Silver Surfer and the Robinson books look like my bag, at least to try. Probably Elektra too, that creative team is like fire.
The other ones I'm interested in will require me to look up writers and artists and see if I like their work before I decide to pick any of them up. At least this will finally give me an excuse to read Cairo, and maybe even get past the first issue of Air.

It's also sort of odd that they're restarting Captain Marvel and Daredevil with the exact same creative teams and no discernible change in direction at all.

She humanizes him, and makes it clear that he really does want to be a good person and genuinely has feelings for others. That's vital.

I'd say she's just one of the reasons why the book is coming together better though. It's becoming more and more tonally obvious that Otto is building a house of cards. He's doing shitloads of impressive things Peter never did, but at the same time the way he's operating at this point... holy shit this is going to come down on him hard.

I've thought of that too. Honestly the ways I can see Otto both surviving and staying a goodish guys are:

- Being a prisoner of SHEILD and offering science support to the Avengers on Peter's referral.

So Hannibal Otto?

I was thinking an entirely new body using his God-like new science, with only Peter knowing and allowing him to continue out of respect for his genuine change of heart, new face new relationships so he has to re-meet Anna Maria and basically start over with Peter as a bit of a jailer but eventually a friend.

>> No. 220345

Ock is one of those guys that did fucking terrible stuff he needs to pay for but not necessarily by killing since that would just make everything bad for everyone, for example he just cured loss of limbs and I shouldn't need to bring up Doc Conner's to point out how much of a monkey's paw that's been for most of the Marvel Universe.

Half the population of the world, so billions. Yeah.

But Superior isn't about him pretending to be a hero, its about him TRYING to be a hero, because he took one away and now he wants to give the world a better one to compensate.

The joy of the series is seeing someone trying to be saintly and help everyone he can in the most oldschool supervillain egomaniac way.

Not so much when every other superhero that comes into contact with Spock is written to be a total retard so they won't blow his secret. Its really annoying the way he goes around ruining Peter's life as well and driving away all the people close to him since it seems to be a pretty blatant ploy by the writers to make Pete be hated and penniless again when he gets his body back which we know he will eventually.

They are all more or less "unrepeatable science we can't ever achieve again because you are magic"

I get the dislike of Otto, and like I said, he's not always meant to like him, you can hate him and still enjoy the story.
