    I’m digging Thor too, but I’m not a Symbiote fan, and the X Men being in this event isnt enough to overcome how played out I think those aliens are.

    That Avengers scene was the only bad part of Cates' Venom so far.
    I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate

    Cates Thor is really good, nothing to complain there.

    I didn’t think I’d like it, tbh but gave it a try of course. His, I dunno, widescreen summer movie approach is working for me right now though.

    it started pretty strong, I wasn't expecting that. Also rarely we get following runs being good after we just had a good one, so i'm surprised

    Cates got exclusive Marvel deal a few years ago because Marvel editors knew that Aaron will be ending Thor soon and they wanted Donny to be with Marvel and take Thor as next long term writer.

    They were smart, Didio tried to offer Batman to Cates.

    But would it be false advertising in the case that they're not as relevant to the event as the heroes they're replacing?
    Or Hulk with She-Hulk.
    Admittedly, there's not much difference these days...

    Didn't know that. I think it is only a matter of time when he gets Batman. I would love to see his X-Men before that.

    Very obvious that he will write him, pretty on his area of interests. But Marvel will probably drain him like they did with bendis before going to DC

    Didnt know either of these things.
    Cates on Batman would be interesting. He'd have a lot to play w. there.

    I'm here for this if we can get some good interactions between the X-Men and the rest of the Marvel heroes appearing here, especially Spider-Man and Venom, since Spidey has had the most frequent overall team-ups with the X-Men and the X-Men played a considerable role in Parts 2 (Poison-X) and 3 (Venomized) of the Venomverse Saga.
    The spider is always on the hunt.

    I personally am already exhausted from Knull. He looks like a 90s parody of something like Stryfe, an edgy try hard. Also "cosmic god of darkness" doesn't interest me.

    I am reluctant to Thor because it seems more of the same.

    .
    Even in the 90s I wasn’t a huge Venom fan tbh, but at least there was just one of him. Then came Carnage, The Professor and Mary Ann, the seemingly endless Symbiotes posess so and so scenarios...
    and now we have the God of Symbiotes and just let it go already.

    Yet if it was the other way around-all you know what would break out.

    Especially lead by those who would never READ this event to begin with.

    If this is who Donny wants to use FINE. However marvel can't expect folks to not notice the lack of POC and women. It gets to the point of folks tired of POC and women being in the back of bus for events unless they are killed off in them or marginalized.
