The Marvelous Marvel Comics Thread

More news on the ever loving "game changing event" that is Marvel Legacy, they will be releasing lenticular cover variants similar to what DC did with Batman and Flash #21-22 for the Button crossover, only this time, the lenticular will show what the cover is a homage to. The variant cover gimmick continues. Knowing Marvel, they're gonna jack up the prices for these covers. *sigh* at it again Marvel... what do you think?

Me, I live in Australia, so pricing for Marvel variant covers is too much cos of the limited stock plus conversion and GST rates. For e.g. The comic shop I go to had enough trouble just trying to get the lenticulars for the recent Batman/Flash crossover. They had to purchase from a US-based store since DC didnt license the lenticular covers to be shipped overseas, so it was more expensive to purchase from the US-based store so they had to sell them for $8 to $11 AUD ($6.12 to $8.42 USD) because of that store's pricing. Plus, for as long as I have shopped there, I have never seen a Marvel variant cover with the same price as the normal cover (and from what I've see from people online in the US, his may be the same). So I'm highly likely to give this a miss...

So this week new X-Men Blue came out. Jimmy/2nd Ultimate Wolverine finally got his costumeand I think it goes along with the current blue team look overall.

Forgot to say I went to see Homecoming for a second time earlier in the week and enjoyed it a lot more this time around. Was much easier to let go of my gripes and enjoy it for what it is, a very good film.

One thing that does concern me though - I'm not clued up on the Miles Morales run, but I do know that this movie took a lot from that (Ned is basically Ganke, Peter's momentary fear of heights etc). Makes me wonder a bit how the Miles film is going to be received when to the average movie goer it's going to look like it's just aping Homecoming.

I've never read anything from Miles' run, so I have no idea what was taking from this comics, but I'm sure he will be fine.

At least as fine a a Sony brand movie can be. Meaning holy fucking hell am I worried.

Mostly the whole Peter and Ned dynamic which I am not mad at.

What I find funny is how people still think Ned is Hobgoblin.

More like they expect him to be in future sequels since Ned Leeds was one of the Hobgoblins that came and went.

Honestly I don't think he needs to be one since I love him already as Chair Guy. Ned is just one of my favorites from the film and Jacob delivered.

On a side note, I LOVE THIS NEW LOOK ON JIMMY

Except he wasn't. He was never Hobgoblin at all. It was only word of mouth that said he was and Kingsley even said he set that belief up and used Ned's death to enjoy the fortune he amassed in peace.
