Where is Thanos at the end of the issue? I get that he is outside the Shield and thus in Zombieland, but what are the statues that he is standing beneath? I haven't read the zombie series, so my...

It could be an unintended consequence of the Molecule Man bomb -- they kill the Beyonders but also kill the universes connected to those Molecule Men.

I agree with your larger points about pacing, although was on the whole satisfied with this issue. However, I think you might be missing the point of Valeria's recruiting the Freedom Foundation for...

I haven't read the issue yet because it for some reason didn't ship to my city (both of my local stores didn't get their shipment) but just out of curiosity, has Zawisza ever given a review of less...

You've hit on what is, in my opinion, Hickman's biggest flaw as a writer -- he simply doesn't care about the characters. They're little more than opportunities for him to introduce his themes through...

Fair enough. I will read a book for reasons other than the writer or artist.



I would agree that it is better than his Avengers work -- which is more a space opera involving characters dressed...

Ribic's art is another reason for overcoming my distaste for Hickman's writing.

Not quite: I don't like the writer, but the idea intrigues me enough to overcome my hesitation.

Until the dismal "Original Sin," I'd have said Aaron was the writer to do something like this. Hickman has Big Ideas, but he rarely has translated those ideas to good stories (or at least stories I...

Fair enough, though I think some writers -- Slott and Aaron in particular -- are less guilty of it than Hickman.



It's not the possibility of a train wreck -- if it were that, I'd have picked...

This is a good description of Hickman's work and why he is not a good fit for a project like this. Even the original Secret Wars, toy promotion that it was, had some awareness of existing...

Those who tell us not to overthink do so usually because they don't want to think enough.

That said, I doubt that there is some conspiracy or plot ruining Hickman's incredible architecture, in...

So it's like every other issue of Hickman's Avengers, then.

Until Yondu says Quill's father is a jerk, I thought Yondu would be his father -- he refers to Quill as "son" at several points in the film, and when trying to take the Infinity Stone at the end he...

Simply claiming "time isn't linear" doesn't hold much water when you have a storyline that involves time being linear. Captain America travels forward in the future from a specific point -- betrayal...

I've seen several explanations for why those days went away:

1. Art takes a lot longer now because it is more detailed. If you look back at those Byrne issues, the backgrounds tend to be fairly...

He helped out the Fantastic Four a lot in the 1960s and was crucial to their defeat of Galactus.

Setting and scope are established in two of the panels at most; the rest are just repetition of what has already been established. We can tell how far Cap is from the tower in the splash page; three...

It's beyond annoying. I've asked Hickman's fans to justify his love of widescreen time-wasting -- such as two pages and four panels of Captain America doing nothing, followed by one page of him...

You are aware that Hickman wrote this, yes?

This is about four issues worth of story stretched out to eight issues by having Deodato draw three-fourths splash pages of big warehouses/mysterious headquarters. But hey, Marvel is all about...

He's bad at all sorts of things -- Skrulls popping up on Earth, Operation Galactic Storm, Ego showing up, et cetera. If he's the man on the wall, he's let an awful lot get past that wall.

But why...

Trolling should be more subtle than this.

I don't dispute that Fury was blind-sided; I said that being blind-sided made him bad at his job.

That might make the story interesting. As it is, this has been a lot of hurry up and wait for nothing particularly noteworthy. I don't like the idea of Fury as the man on the cosmic wall. For one...
