Lets go!!!

I liked Ewings take, shame it was undone.

I'm fucking testes-deep, in!

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.

do we know if it is a mini or an ongoing?

I can't imagine an ongoing being 9 bucks, but a mini it will totally be 9 bucks because Marvel already made the precedent

I'm willing to bet it will be a mini, like HoxPox were. I'd guess it was going to be at least 6, but it could more, maybe even 12 issues, since it's such a big subject and task.

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

Feige does love Hickman. I'm surprised Hickman hasn't pitched himself as script writer or concept consultant for Feige. He'd certainly be paid much better.

Wonder what the new monochromatic character will look like.

Considering the Eternals and their push turned into a bust, I wonder if this is to make up for that?

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.

Could be. I didn't know than the Eternals busted. Didn't they have a sequel in the works?
But if Eternals busted, that would be two franchises burned out withthe common of the "super-race".
Why create another and not go with the most successful one already?

Agreed. I like what Ewing has done with cosmic Marvel and I hope (though doubt) that Hickman will take it into account.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

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