Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #38 - "Elegant Chaos, Pt 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide"

[laughing_tree]

"The phenomenally arrogant subtext there is that Brainstorm’s briefcase and MTMTE and this iteration of the Transformers Universe is the sort of base level universe. This is Universe Zero from which every other iteration of the Transformers continuities originated." -- James Roberts

"Spider-Man in the MCU" hangup.

[starwolf_oakley]

This might be me worrying over nothing. My hangup over Spider-Man becoming part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is this...
MCU heroes are not hesitant about killing the bad guys. Will this carry over to MCU Spider-Man?
Trigger warning for superhero morality.

Inhuman #12: "Disunion"

[superboyprime]

"The Paul Jenkins/Jae Lee run has been incredibly influential; that’s the definitive modern take, as far as I’m concerned, but I’ve also taken a lot of inspiration from other writers’ use of the characters: Bendis, Hickman, and others." - Charles Soule

Bendis' Daredevil Part 1: Underboss

[cyberghostface]

This is a repost of a series I did way back in 2011. I am sharing it again for two reasons.

1. For the benefit of potential newcomers curious about Daredevil because of the upcoming Netflix series.

and 

2. Comixology is right now having a 99 cent sale on Bendis's entire Daredevil run here. I know a lot of people last time said these posts got people curious about checking out the title so here's your best chance if you want to read them at a cheap price.

For those getting the bundle it also includes 'Wake Up' which was a stand-alone arc Bendis did with David Mack (which in my opinion isn't as good as the main run) as well as the 'End of Days' miniseries which basically functions as a potential "last Daredevil story". Finally in case you decide to just mass order everything I should warn you that for some reason David Mack's "Echo: Vision Quest" arc is part of the sale (but not in the bundle) which in my opinion is the comic equivalent of watching paint dry.

Final Crisis #1

[history79]

"Every time I read about the agonizing pains of ‘event fatigue’ or how ‘3-D hurts my head…’ or how something’s ‘incomprehensible’ when most people are ‘comprehending’ it just fine, it’s like visiting a nursing home. ‘Events’ in superhero comic books FATIGUE you? I’m speechless. Admittedly they do tend to be a little more exciting than the instruction leaflets that come with angina pills but… ‘fatigue’?

Superhero comics should have an ‘event’ in every panel! We all know this instinctively. Who cares ‘how?’ as long as it feels right and looks brilliant ?"

Uncanny Inhumans #0

[history79]

"Black Bolt is always depicted as part of a larger ensemble – the Inhuman royal family, the Illuminati. It’s extremely rare to see him flying off and doing his own thing from start to finish. In Uncanny Inhumans, we get to see him really mixing it up – we see how he fights, which does not always end with him uttering some perfectly apropos word and blasting his opponents into oblivion."

- Charles Soule
