Okay, lots to copy and paste here, so here we go ..
... But I'm really not sure. It'll certainly go one way or the other!
That it will, good sir.
Good call.
As cool as Secret Wars was/is, its still another link in the chain of Marvel's super events every 6 months to shake things up. I know coming out after SW, the books 'advance 6 months' from previous events, right? I'm trying to wrack my brain and remember if Marvel had done this already 2-3 years ago in publishing history. I can't remember right now, so I could be wrong.
The books advanced 8 months, but yes, a little over half a year and I can't think of a story they did that, other than the original Secret Wars back in the day as a way to continue the monthly titles while the event was taking place. I think they were advanced a few months to explain why every character "Popped" out of their books at the end of those issues, only to return the next with the changes in-place. Though the timing of the Black Costume makes me rethink that ... but I am sure Marvel did advance the titles then ... Hmmm ... but the black costume didn't show up unitl SW #8 ... I think ... right? Hmmmm, now I'm lost.
But other than that ... I can't recall, but would be interested if you do think of one
I mean, I hope it shows that I'm getting sick of these resets. I had hoped that Marvel might do something really cool for Spider-man (well, cool to me), but you got 2 Spider-man running around in one NYC (which, again, even I have said too many copies spoil the original), Spider-gwen somewhere, that Web-warriors title ....
Now I am not at all going to talk ill of Miles being in MU proper now (I love it ... even though his first issue was less than spectacular ... or amazing ... or superior ... or
... it was good though) but I agree. Why not move one out to the West Coast? And read Spider-Woman when it hits MU ... much in the vein of Ant-Man, but with a different art style) I can't speak of Gwen or Silk as I have no interest in those books what-so-ever but with Web Warriors at least you get Universe hopping. Not just staying in New York (though I am not sure if they only shift to other New Yorks. Ha)
.... another title set with Peter in high school (NO ONE CARES AT ALL, ANYMORE, ABOUT PETER PARKER IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!)* .
AMEN !!!! Of course Miles works very well there!!!
Duggan at least got to reset the Hulk-verse, but now I don't get to see what happened between Bruce & Doc Green-because that's all gone.
Another Marvel title I can't speak of. I have been off the Hulk for far too long and really need to get back, but I have no interest in the newest version with
. I tried it and ... honestly, heck, you may like it. It has a younger edge to it that 90's comic fans (or those that grew into comics at that time) may enjoy. Maybe. Though don't kill me if you don't.
Is Bendis' Tony the Axis-Tony prick? Or was that washed away?
No. Tony is back to being Tony, though I'm not sure if that horrible alien story-line has been wiped ... not Bendis' doing so not sure if it is still around. Ya know, where
I hope that got wiped in SW !!!
The changes with Cap? How's that being addressed? Did Axis Cap-Falcon get swept away?
Not sure what part you mean here. Cap is still old (for another three months and then he returns) and Falcon is still Cap and has a new side ... well I will wait until you get caught up with that one.
But yeah, what part are you talking about so I can maybe answer it mo' better. Maybe
Does Bendis' X-men run feed into current story? (Okay, this may, I have no clue, but its a question I have).
No idea as I am just now jumping back into the X books after being away for many, many year, but I doubt it. The X books have, from what I can tell, almost been restarted (not rebooted) so this "fresh start" has allowed me to better jump into their stories, but I am still kinda learning some of the history that has not been in the past events like AvX and the like ... the little I do know about the X-Men
I think from Marvel, I've just grown to distrust that what I like may actually stick around in a year-or what I like will invariably get screwed with by a mega event. And that's the same distrust I have with DC currently.
Well, okay, I can kinda see that, but honestly, the only thing I see (and only from the books I am reading, so my point of view is solely from those titles) is that only the "bad" stuff is being lost. For the most part. Again, based on only the books I enjoy. With Hulk for example ... I haven't read it, so I am sure you have lost some stuff that you may have enjoyed. I just can't say.
I can't personally think of anything that Marvel changed from event to event that really matters to the universe as a whole, but again, I only read a certain portion of their universe. A large portion
, but still.
Changes to Iron Man, the good stuff is still there. The bad has hopefully gone away.
Now with the newest "Event" coming - Civil War II - I am sure there will be more changes, but not sure if the changes are what we could consider natural or not. Those are the changes I don't mind and really enjoy. When the change comes naturally. Not like when Tony
. That is some stupid shit and I hope the change took all that away!!!!
I do like (and you may hate it
) how Marvel is incorporating all their "big changes" (think - all of their "Crisis" Events) into the universe. They are actually saying that their wipes, or major changes are part of the way the universe works. The universe, the Marvel universe has been rearranged seven times prior. Thanks to the Secret Wars event that just past, they are on reset #8. This is the newest Marvel Universe. Even the resets are part of their history!!!
This is kinda cool (only that they are acknowledging the fact they do reset the stuff) and also helps with age of characters.
And they even have a new cosmic element of immense power called Isotope 8 or Iso 8 (I think that came from the game app. hahaha).

I need to add that to my sig
