Molly Hayes, Xorn Xorna, and some others that are hard to read. One looks like Beast, one looks like Prof. X, one looks like the child of iceman and a troll.

Dat Arthur Adams. I hope he draws at least one one the issues.

One is Deadpool as well. And during the panel the ice guy was referred to as Ice Beast.

Reports are coming in that ComicsAlliance, the comics and comics culture website, has been shut down today by AOL. We’ll tell you everything we know as soon as we know it.

The first suggestion came earlier today, as the site didn’t go ahead with the regular scheduled updates. Following came the news that the podcast hosted by the site, War Rocket Ajax, was going to move to an independent site free from ComicsAlliance proper. Then Moviefone editor Alex Suskin tweeted the following:

@msjennimiller @mattsinger It was shut down. AOL took out the music staff and comics alliance

Breaking – Robot 6 have confirmed the news. ComicsAlliance was one of the top websites out there, run brilliantly by editors including Joe Hughes and Laura Hudson, and with one of the best, brightest, feistiest writing staffs online. Full reaction to come.

I love this Avengers Arena variant

**grantlogan** · 2013-04-29 21:57

Reptil looks ridiculous, I love it.

**Delirium** · 2013-05-01 10:55

Age of Ultron is just "This is worse than last issue. It can't get worse, can it?" every damn issue.

**Vagrant** · 2013-05-01 13:48

MAA: Spec Ops 9 is live.

Haven't read anything yet this week but yeah Age of Ultron seems to be a lost cause. You already know Pym is being brought back to life by the end of the series also no doubt to undo the timestream damage caused by yet another X-Man. Damn mutants really need to stop playing with space/time.

My comic book guy hooked me up with the Hickman Infinity free comic book day comic a little early so I gave a bum outside a cigarette. Gotta pay it forward.

**grantlogan** · 2013-05-01 21:03

MAA: What do you think of the new alts for Iron Man and War Machine? Their entire abilities got super buffed plus new passives. I tried Iron Man so far and it's awesome.

**Vagrant** · 2013-05-01 21:42

Haven't messed with War Machine yet but I've tried the Iron Man one a few times during mission 1 of spec ops and it's pretty cool. Like the addition of random Iron Man armors showing up to help out during the fight.

**Delirium** · 2013-05-01 21:45

waiting on 8 hour upgrade. Iron Man was pretty buff.

**KoalaTrap** · 2013-05-01 23:18

Finally read last week's Manhattan Projects. Thought it was great and pretty cool to finally get some back story on the other cast members.

Didn't the group know that Fermi wasn't human? I mean he turned into a big monster during the attack on their base didn't he? So that final comment from Henry was confusing to me. Any halp would be appreciated.

Also checked out Suicide Watch from Mike Carey (loved his Xmen stuff) and it was pretty good.

**Delirium** · 2013-05-03 12:22

Dont know if anyone read Ten Grand by JMS and Ben Templesmith, but it is a pretty cool story so far(1 issue).

**Doombear** · 2013-05-03 12:42

I have it! Haven't read it yet. So behind. Speaking of, just caught up on Indestructible Hulk and I just... without Yu it got a whole lot less interesting to me. New artist just shifts the whole feel of the book and I am sad, I miss Leinil. Same might be happening with Journey Into Mystery, as I thought Valerio Schiti's art was perfect for Sif an Co. Hulk I can't seem myself continuing as it just lost something, but JiM with Pepe Laraz in issue 651 was still damn good.

So much more to get caught up on. Thanks Monster Hunter for effing up everything.

**Tajin** · 2013-05-03 16:30

Peter went down like a little bitch.

Are you kidding? It's Walt Simonson!

**Doombear** · 2013-05-04 00:31

I know, I know! He is an icon, I know. I practically grew up with him, and have all of his work on X-Factor... but I just wasn't ready for this. I WASN'T READY! He is amazing, not at all saying he isn't. Just that the tone so drastically shifted with him jumping on. It jarred me...

**grantlogan** · 2013-05-04 00:49

A big part of it is Simonson drawing Thor again. He was THE Thor artist back in the 80's.
