Lets go!!!
I liked Ewings take, shame it was undone.
I'm fucking testes-deep, in!
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Hard pass for me. The higher-plane cosmic storylines of Marvel have always been the least interesting to me, and I've always found Hickman's work to be far too sterile and cold, as if he puts all the passion into the elaborate hierarchal structures and tiered breakdowns that accompany every book he does, rather than the actual characters. It's like reading a spiral notebook filled with D&D campaign locations designed on graph paper.
If this is 9 bucks an issue, I'm trading waiting this too. I love Hickman and Schitti, but I've got to draw the line somewhere.
Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?

I have the feeling than this is going to be a series specifiacally created to be a soon to developt propierty for the MCU.

Wonder what the new monochromatic character will look like.

Synch's Aura
Northstar and Aurora's shiny hair
Spider-Woman’s cowl costume
I’ll pick this up.
I think Hickman does Marvel cosmic very well.
My issues with Hickman are that he doesn’t handle the personalities in his writing well. His characters don’t seem to be the characters we have known. It’s not a matter of not allowing the characters to grow, but instead they just don’t act like who and what they were, at all.
I do like what he’s done with some, not all, some villains, even though those were also big changes in characterizations. I also like his original characters, particularly the bad guys. Orchis is great!
The second issue I have with Hickman is I don’t think he does endings very well. He often wraps it up with some dumb deus ex machina, instead of something meaningful. It is comics, and that’s to be expected to some extent. I once heard Tom Wolfe say he found writing a proper ending to be the hardest thing about writing. I suspect that might be true of Hickman as well.
I will get this series. I don’t mean to sound like I dislike Hickman. I like him a lot as a writer. He’s one of the best working for Marvel these days. I just find there’s some things he excels at and in other things I think he is a little weak. Writing a big cosmic book will play to his strengths, I think.

It's cool to see a new IP from Marvel. I'm hoping Ewing and McKay get to use them after Hickman.
