And I know I've dumped on Hickman for his run, but seriously, who's idea was it for the recent covers? I keep thinking it's a kids coloring book.

That, other than Reed surviving, was what Franklin changed, and what was the cause of the recursion wave that went all the way to the 45th century.

"I don't know" is also acceptable. :-D

In the Negative Zone, "No, just no" means "Yes, just yes". :-D

In fact that's what many Negative Zone ladies said when John Storm bedded them, "No, just no".

Which was confusing until he realized in the Negative Zone "no" means "yes". It's well documented that this is why eltopo takes his vacations there each year, and also why many frat boys choose to go there on Spring Break.

John Storm...he's that "progressive rock" guy, right? Dated Jessica Simpson?

What else don't you know??

Punchy I don't see how you couldn't like this, especially after the positive review you gave the Avengers crapfest, and that's exactly what it was, a filler/crapfest.

I know! How could you like that resolution more than this one?

Some like a five-star, seven course meal, others like a McDonald's Happy Meal. Viva la difference!

Because I felt that Avengers #24 was a resolution, whereas this didn't feel resolved to me because I still have too many unanswered questions. Maybe Hickman did answer them, but not clearly enough for the ending to be satisfying.

Is this where Raymond Luxery Yacht came from then?

Maybe I was biased by all the people pointing at it and laughing derisively Wednesday in the LCS.

We need to start a "Explain comics to Punchy" thread. This happens too often.

Call it what you want, but, it clearly was a phoned in, recycled storyline. It made the whole AIM scientist supreme thing a big joke

It just looked like to me that Bendis was making this stuff up as he went along as opposed to Hickman whom had a plan for everything from the beginning.

I really would suggest you go back and read this from the beginning, because everything is really explained in detail. Like I said earlier it's a much more efficient storytelling style than most other Marvel books, very little pandering and fluff.
