I do too. It could have worked without gutting Gwen for it.

Wow I was so excited for this comic and... yeah, it's terrible, actually. Joe Casey is desperately trying to write a modern teenager and the result is one of those cringe-inducing affairs where an adult makes it clear that they haven't spoken to a teenager since they were in high school. It reads like he made a list of every slang term employed by anyone under 40 in the last ten years and wanted t more

Her last name is VASQUEZ! Her first name...says it all! And when confronted with the hidden secret of the universe, you won't believe the cosmic truth she uncovers! Brought to you by the Wildcats Version 3.0 team of JOE CASEY and DUSTIN NGUYEN-reunited for the first time in fifteen years!
I despised this series with every fiber of my being and am glad to see it's over. If you wanted gwenpool without any of her charm fans have come to love, this book is for you. A derivative concept that became it's own unique entity driven back to her derivative roots at whiplash speeds, this book is for you. A series with humor that is 100% reliant on what ever was trending at the time, immortaliz more

GWENPOOL GOES HOME?!
As Gwen's mad rampage comes to a close we learn the real truth about her origins! Is this Gwen's greatest retcon yet? Will she go big or will she go home? Find out... once and for all!

This is a recap issue summarizing the stories important for the Empyre event from all of Marvel history (Kree/Skrull war, Mar-Vell, Celestial Madonna stuff, Wiccan and Hulkling from Young Avengers etc.) for that it's awesome, don't expect much more though.
But if you aren't particularly interested it's hell of a lot cheaper than getting the relevant trades.

EMPYRE IS COMING!
The build-up to Marvel's massive event series of the spring begins here-but in actuality, it began a millennia ago, with a challenge on the moon! In the wake of INCOMING, everything has changed for the Kree and the Skrulls. And out in the cold on Earth, the Warner family (MEET THE SKRULLS) need to work out what has happened an...

A SORCERER SCHOOL FOR THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!

Young people from around the world with aptitude in magic have been brought together in New Orleans to study the Mystic Arts under S...

LET'S DO THE HAM WARP AGAIN!
What's a Ham Warp? We don't know, but this third issue of SPIDER-HAM is an interdimensional delight!
Spider-Ham just can't catch a break! First SPIDER-MAN crashes his solo adventure...
...and now they're trapped in the past! Somebody's gotta bring home the bacon!

It's good. But it's also an issue long fight scene. And why do I have strong feelings of "the road to hell is paved by good intentions" about this story?
Thor #3
THE BATTLE OF TWO STORMS!
It's Mjolnir versus Stormbreaker as Thor's old ally Beta Ray Bill makes a thunderous entrance! But what has put the two friends at odds - and can the King of Asgard convince the Korbinite to let him continue his bloody mission to save all that is?
Rated T+
I still love this series. I can't even really tell you why.
Be warned though: If you've a low tolerance to incredibly stupid puns this comic might count as a health hazard and you're better off skipping it.
Spider-Ham #2
• Zeb Wells and Will Robson, authors of your favorite comic book of the year - SPIDER-HAM #1 - reunite for the series' stunning SECOND ISSUE!
• But what threat could be so dangerous - so DEADLY - that it imperils the Marvel Multiverse's porcine protector... even with his cartoonish resistance to injury?!
Rated T
I don't want to give a higher score for a first issue, but this run starts promising... albeit it's funny how some of Aaron's "WILL LAST FOR THE END OF TIME (SIRIUSLY!*)" changes get undone in the span of a single issue (not much of a spoiler, the biggest was literally on the cover).
Schadenfreude isn't a nice thing, but I take what I can get.

It's not bad...
But these type of initiative starting one-shot advertisements should be FCBD giveaways or 1$ promotional issues at most... not 10$ overpriced/sized collectors bait.

This was loads of fun.
The writer is totally committed to the stupid stupid puns that double as continuity when Spider-Ham is concerned, and I respect the shit out of that!

If you can't blind them with your brilliance baffle them with bullshit! - The comic book issue.
It's not as bad as the last one was... but it's very much a collection of pretty pictures and sentences which look cool / sound profound as long you don't think about them. The second you do however the whole thing falls apart. It wants to have its cake and eat it too like it acknowledges the

THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE YEARS-SPANNING, AWARD-WINNING SAGA!
The sun has gone black. Midgard isn't far behind. The entire Multiverse is dying - and with it, the last of the gods. A millennium ago, the God of Thunder heard a whisper: "Gorr was right." Now Gorr the God of God-Butchers ascends to his final murder: the All-Father of all existence. ...
I dub this: "How to destroy a character in a single issue."
EDIT: What I mean, this book is textbook franchise washing. Ie. Let's make her more like the popular character she derives off of and her previous book worked very hard to distance her from (Deadpool), the readers who liked her FOR being different be damned, also let's slot her under the biggest franchise umbrella we can find (

One issue from its conclusion, Aaron's Thor run continues to be The Best. Aaron does that thing he loves doing where he introduces a team of one-off characters who have such great designs and gimmicks that they feel like they could headline their own book--it's great as always. And the final page is KILLER, thanks to the pure genius of Esad Ribic. Seriously, the man is an artistic god. Long live G more

What new characters? Most of this issue was Aaron not getting when he satisfactory ended shit loooooong ago.
Edit:
I write this several days after I rated this issue because I needed to calm down. I did previously mention that I find this mini unnecessary, self-congratulatory, and disrespectful.
Now we crossed over to sick and wrong.

IT'S WOLVERINE VS. LOKI BACK IN THE OLD WEST!
Loki doesn't exactly belong in these parts - or in this time period! But that's never stopped the god of mischief before. And with Wolverine on his side, there's no man or god with the power to stop him. Now...he's just gotta get Wolverine on his side. See their first ever team-up in this two-fisted...
Someone should just give this creative team a Deadpool book instead. I don't know if they would be happier that way, but I sure would.

Whosoever holds this hammer, if she be awesome, shall possess the power of GWENPOOL! That's right-Gwen's got her mitts on Mjolnir and she's got a list of heads that need hammering! Her mission to make herself known in the Marvel Universe at all costs gallops past all reason!

Art is still good if you like Esad Ribic's style.
On the story...
Just characters hitting each other and being wildly out of character (if you even buy they're the characters they supposed to be... which I really don't) so Aaron can make a point that never existed.
OR
Jason Aaron fundamentally misunderstands Loki, but he insists on writing him anyway, an
