Anyone who hasn't been reading Bendis' X-Men: the issue of Uncanny (#14) that just dropped on MU today is a magnificent done-in-one story. Probably the first issue where BMB wrote an actually recognizable Emma Frost. My favorite issue of the run so far.
Young Avengers was also particularly perfect today.
Currently reading Secret Avengers Vol. 1 and Uncanny X-Force on MU.

Just finished X-Force by Kyle and Yost and reread all the Superior Foes issues on Marvel Unlimited (I'm telling you, you have to read that!). Also waiting impatiently on the time when Avengers Undercover will hit. Loved Avengers arena

well folks any good stuff you're reading? Should we do some sort of MU book club. read some issues/ a series and chat here?
Thanks everyone for reminding me about marvel unlimited. I havent bought a subscription in about 5 months, but seeing that infinity is out on there now Ill be getting me a month soon.
I just started reading Infinity and am really blown away by how good it is. Much better than Age of Ultron.
Just read the first issue of fearless defenders and the second issue didnt load all the way. Although so far from what I did read I am surprised this series lasted 12 issues. It so far in my opinion is average to below average. Was trying to read the whole series at one sitting, but little turned off.
Fearless Defenders did not live up to its concept or cast by a long shot, from what I've read of it. Brian Wood's X-Men is doing a bit better at filling the lady-driven superhero book niche, though I didn't like the first arc so much.
Things that were good this week: Young Avengers (obviously), Superior Spider-Man (how many subplots can this series advance in a single issue? it outdid itself with issue 23), X-Men Legacy (I love Blindfold!)
I'm also really into Joe Casey's story starting in Amazing Spider-Man 700.3. Casey just knows how to do clever stuff with superheroes.
I would like to do a book club, but I feel like we've all read very different stuff.
Read a little more Fearless Defenders, but not impressed. Im glad you can get just a one month membership cus the website is having a lot of technical difficulties. I tried to read onslaught reborn, more fearless defenders, and thanos rising and the site was coming up with page not found messages and not loading the books.
check out the reading club recommendation on Marvel Unlimited this time around it's the Kree-Skrull War. I've added it to my library and will read it over the next few days. Anyone else reading it??
Totally resurrecting this thread as I'm reading new (for me) comics and have no spoiler free place to discuss - as well as finding new recommendations!
Just read all of ultimate Spider-Man and really liking Miles now - now cataclysm ended looking forward to All new ultimate and his relaunch series!
Ms Marvel: gotta say with all the hype I still didn't pick it up. Read it on here and love it. Cannot wait to see where this is heading
Loki agent of Asgard: I think I'm in love with him...don't judge me! And the reveal of his comeback was awesome but worrying - don't know if it's a one-or-other deal but I'm rooting for teen Loki
Uncanny avengers - enjoy the look of Planet X but annoys me Beast is the 'only' one who questioned the scenario and is helping alex.
New and mighty avengers - such different titles but love both concepts
Xforce - gotta admit I'm usually an X reader above all else and this didn't really grab my attention after first issue - worth sticking with?
Annoying to write on my phone so will post more later but any suggestions of what to start reading?
I read first issue of silver surfer and thought it was great. Also read the first two issues of Ms. Marvel and I was blown away about how it feels different then all the other marvel books out. Nice look into another culture and the art was awesome. Only complaints Im having right now are FF and Fearless Defenders. The issues arent loading good for me. I already put a request in to have them fixed but if anyone else is interested in these series you might want to do the same. FF # 5 of the most recent series pops up with no dialog and Fearless Defenders 4 and 5 do not work well either.
Just subscribed to Marvel Unlimited last month and have so far read more Marvel comics in 2 months than I have in my whole life. I am primarily a DC fan but have never really been into Marvel that much. This app is helping me get an appreciation for Marvel books.
My favorites so far:
Ms. Marvel (new series)
Avengers Arena
Young Avengers (first series)
early New Avengers
Avengers around issue 300+
All New X-Men
This app is such a great thing! I am now a Marvel fan too
