That looks pretty cool. Here is my question with the new fresh start/dual legacy numbering starting this week with avengers. Do we know if for us collectors with marvel is these fresh starts going to be counted as a totally new Vol or would it be counted as what ever the legacy Vol 1 is. I just curious what officially it's being classified. Like for example asm is vol. 1/vol. 4 before legacy numbers came back. Would fresh start for asm be vol. 5 or vol. 1?

Recently finished 2 big Marvel storylines so thought I give final thoughts on them:
Avengers: No Surrender: This story was honestly ok. It sure as hell didn't need to be 16 parts long but for the most part what was there was fine. For a "End of an Era" type story it was presentable & I'm honestly happy The Avengers did what they did best & save the day. I give a lot of credit to Al Ewing for his love of continuity given his explanation that Hulk was always immortal & I have a bit more respect for characters such as Wonder Man, Red Wolf, Quicksilver, & Living Lightning. My major gripes with the story mostly stems from particular plot-points never being properly concluded such as Rogue wielding Corvus Glaive's sword or real aftermath regarding the USAvengers team after Hulk tore threw them, another complaint mostly goes to The creative teams depiction of Occupy Avengers as if it was just Hawkeye & Red Wolf being an A-team rather than some Angry-Liberal-propaganda about "taking back justice" Guess the book really was that terrible that not even the story celebrating an era wanting to acknowledge the real premise. Also Voyager was a letdown. Still I'm glad I got to see a semi-decent story after a barrage of just events with pretencious bullshit.
Doctor Strange: Damnation: I've been keeping an eye on Donny Cates after getting word that the guy is accumulating a following from his stint on Doctor Strange & so far I'm generally liking what I see of him. I think I enjoyed this abit more than No Surrender probably because I see the Magic side of Marvel to be under-appreciated & I just like this roster of characters better. Not sure what to think about the ending given the last "King of Hell" didn't exactly last long either but save that for another day I guess. Still fun story.

Looks like the current saga in the ASM newspaper strip is coming to a close at last. Bruce Banner and Curt Connors agree to pull their resources together and work on curing themselves of the Hulk and the Lizard. Why has nobody thought of having these two collaborate before? I wonder if Peter's blood is still kicking about in Bruce's bloodstream? That prevented him from transforming into the Hulk for a stretch.
In order to protect her husband's secret, MJ told Jonah Peter was headed back to New York, so Peter has to confirm the story by heading home and leaving MJ to finish up the remainder of her publicity tour by herself. MJ promises Peter she'll be home though, but it looks like the strip is writing her out of at least the next storyline, and likely for most of the year to come knowing how slow the pacing is on this.

Spidey Daily Strip: MJ gets the strip all to herself today, she thinks about how everyone involved in this story has at least somebody with them...Curt and Bruce are working together, Jameson has his fellow publishers to bounce off of, and she's been reduced to ordering room service alone because she had to tell Jonah Peter was headed back to Manhattan. She wonders just why she ever considered an acting career glamorous. It's a nice moment of reflection, but a bit sad that MJ and Peter have been temporarily separated by MJ's career exploding the way it has in the strip. At least the split wasn't caused by a fall-out and that MJ assured Peter she'll be home soon. IMO, that's the best way to tell stories with them apart without sabotaging their characters or the marriage. Hopefully they keep in touch throughout the next arc via phone.

I know, apparently this is an executive order direct from WB, out of an EIC's hands. Could be that Doomsday Clock will be the last remnant of Rebirth by the time it wraps up Dan Slott is done as a Spidey writer, he finished his last Amazing Spider-Man script today http://instagr.am/p/BipScthnyfN |

Hmm wonder why they want to do a reboot already. After we just sorta somewhat went back to previous last reboot form. But that is what I think is stupid with DC every fee years and oops a company wide reboot.
