I admit I'm kinda a little terrified because while I have the Jane!Thor run in gorgeous hardback, it was SO divisive in male-dominated fandom spaces....but all props to Feige for doing it. I hope we don't actually get Fury telling Thor he's unworthy or the cancer storyline, because those were fucking bummers, but -- I can't even say I was WAITING for Jane to pick up that hammer, I thought it would never ever happen in MCU. I just hope it is well done!

And I know nothing Jon Snow about Eternals, but what a cast!

Al Ewing is the unsung hero of Marvel comics. I read Mighty Avengers, his very first book (AFAIK) for them, because it was an all-POC team book and I wanted to support that, and it was such a fun read EVEN WITH GREG LAND ON ART. Now that's a true sign of good writing, lol.

I gave up on Marvel during the big Secret Wars event a couple of years ago, but I should order a bunch of his books through the library, because even without knowing anything else that's going on, I know they'll be worth my time.

YES
MIGHTY AVENGERS YES
AND THE 'YOU WERE AN AVENGER' BIT //cries
(or wait was that New Avengers? bzuh)

YES. I read Mighty Avengers and New Avengers and US Avengers, and even when he got chopped off by events and cancelled and sorta-renewed they were so good. Ultimates (space Ults) was great too -- that was Black Panther, Blue Marvel, Spectrum, Ms. America, and Captain Marvel. I even read the Ulysses Civil War II book! I think the ones I haven't read yet are like Rocket and You Are Deadpool (I can't stand Deadpool).

AND Immortal Hulk. sigh.

I mean I am all here for horror, possibly even horror involving the Hulk, so I might like that one, lol. It'd be interesting to see Ewing try his hand at that genre.

Lots of people really enjoy it! I think it's one of their top books right now. I do like some horror, but not the super graphic kind.

Aw, if it's gore then I am less likely to be excited. Still, I will give it a shot!
