I love that New Avengers has been tying back in Hickman's FF run, and I just can't help but feel rebuilding the bridge is gonna be a problem again.

**grantlogan** · 2014-02-07 17:18

I really enjoy how Hickman is presenting the team coming to terms with what they're up against. They see other universes getting utterly defeated and destroyed and they are horrified. Black Swan keeps telling them they are weak as shit and need to truly be prepared to do anything to survive. Strange is the first to realize this and sold his soul for power. I can't wait to see what the others will do to survive.

MAA: I'm sure those that play know the spec ops is live. New horseman alts are interesting, % on drops for the Deathfrost Shards are: 22% chance to drop from a general deploy, 30% chance to drop from a class specific deploy, 45% chance to drop from a hero specific deploy. I'm sad there is no Group Boss, blowing up Arcade with Spiral/DP was so fun.

Yeah I was disappointed no Apocalypse GB fight. Not sure how the Apocalypse fight does work though as it seems to have a mission all its own. Only alt suit I picked up so far though was the Beast tactician for the pvp bonus.

I read that the 4th mission is just one fight ending in a hueg Apocalypse. New Beast alt has the MAA community excited because it makes a lot of stuff useless, like Cube, Mystic and Bob. I bought all the alts because I have a lot of CP collecting dust. Getting Iceman's alts is gonna eat butt.

MAA: a guide on how to get to chapter 3 bosses-

**Vagrant** · 2014-02-12 20:15

So Marvel is continuing their trend of somewhat out of left field monthly titles. Cyclops is the latest to get picked up as the teenage Cyclops goes gallivanting around the cosmos with

Spoiler: show

I'm actually intrigued by this as I've always been a Cyclops fan so will be interesting to see how it plays out. And Bendis isn't writing it.

**Krandor** · 2014-02-12 20:39

All I can think seeing that Corsair is alive is that Marvel went straight up Superboy Punch style with all these no explanation resurrections

**Vagrant** · 2014-02-12 20:43

Yeah I can definitely agree there. I have no real issue with the fact that characters get resurrected but at least have some sort of explanation as to how they come back. Don't just pop them into an issue and say hey he's alive!

**grantlogan** · 2014-02-12 21:58

Good ol' Bendis.

**Komm Suesser Tod** · 2014-02-13 20:37

I got the first issue of the new She-Hulk on comixology, and while I enjoyed it, I just don't like that art style, like, at all. I like crisp and clean comics, for the most part, and this was just sort of indistinct.

**Delirium** · 2014-02-13 22:18

Gave up on all the X-Men titles after Battlw of the Atom. Too much quality stuff out there that I would rather spend my money on.

I like alternative art styles, it felt a bit like Mike Allred(not as good, don't jump down my throat). The story was boring as hell though. I don't like Soule anyway, so not surprising.

When does Moon Knight come out again?

**KoalaTrap** · 2014-02-14 17:24

She-hulk was really good. It's definitely going for that Hawkeye (regular life) kinda vibe with the story and art.

**Krandor** · 2014-02-14 17:28

Marvel is gonna be going the Hawkguy route for alot of titles down the line I imagine.

**Kaslo** · 2014-02-19 14:18

Say what you will about Bendis, but I love his new mutants in Uncanny about 1000x more than any of the new mutants at the Jean Grey School.

**Vagrant** · 2014-02-19 21:48

MAA: Oh joy PVP season 14 is live with Hogun as the reward(surprising as I expected Rocket Raccoon or Drax to start the GotG capitalization that will begin soon). Even better when a large number of people have still yet to get their rewards granted from the previous season due to their Deadpool screw-up.

Touche, but Broo is all that I can stand of the "new" crew. not counting Idie and QQ. QQ is likely my favorite X-character right now.

Yeah the post AvX ones have been mostly crap except for Tempus for me. Goldballs just needs to GTFO.
