A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

It takes a lot to get me interested in a big 2 event these days, but Hickman playing with huge cosmic concepts definitely does the job. Just hope he doesn't step on Ewing's toes with all the cosmology he's set up since Secret Wars.

Sold.

Between this and Ultimate Invasion, it's good to see Hickman is back at his universe-building best.

I am a massive Hickman mark. I love most of his indie stuff as much as his mainstream work. The bloke has an attention to detail and world building unmatched in the industry.

Hickman managed to respect and incorporate Unworthy Thor, Superior Iron Man and Old Man Rogers in his Avengers/New Avengers Time Runs Out arc before Secrer Wars when none of Remender, Aaron and Taylor could do so with each other. He's the best there is at respecting continuity and other writers' playgrounds. I also enjoyed his Unworthy Thor's resolution more than Aaron's.

Yeah, he has an eye for detail that very few other writers manage.
