Re: SOMEONE TALK ABOUT SOULE'S DAREDEVIL WITH ME

[(Anonymous)]

SA, but can I also say that Marvel is freakin' killing it post-Secret Wars? Because I had to prioritize Daredevil over reading Doctor Strange, Invincible Iron Man, All-New All-Different Avengers AND Vision this week and it actually was hard! Plus, Totally Awesome Hulk came out and it is also freakin' great. And Red Wolf.

So yeah... I encourage all DD fans to also pick up Marvel's new post-Secret Wars series, because damn if they aren't all really truly great, and light and fun and keeping with the general action-adventure tone that Mark Waid set with his DD volume waaaaay back when they launched Marvel Now. They clearly learned their lesson from the success of that run and translated it everywhere else.

OP: I so agree! I am not reading the same ones as you (time constraints + still backreading Daredevil vol 1) but both All New Hawkeye and Deadpool (which I was following both prior to the hiatus) are killing it. I wanna catch up on Rocket Raccoon too because Skottie Young killed it with Giant Size Little Marvel AvX this summer.

Does Totally Awesome Hulk fall in line with Waid's run of Indestructible Hulk? That was a fantastic run.

Also is Hank Pym anywhere? I have been looking for him but I am concerned he is still floating in Ultrons head in space.

Totally Awesome Hulk is pretty different if only because Amadeus Cho is now the Green guy. But the principal of a character who actually enjoys being the Hulk is the same. :)

Skottie Young is about to take over Rocket Raccoon AND Groot! So I'm excited for that too.

Supposedly Rage of Ultron is set post-Secret Wars, so if that's true then there's your answer. He hasn't shown up or been mentioned in any other new plot to my knowledge yet. It may be that he, much like the Fantastic Four, Namor and the X-Men, may simply be a character who Marvel has decided to backburner on account of being unable to really line him up with their movie universe version of him at all and him being pretty problematic in the comics.

Which is too bad. Because I enjoyed Michael Douglas a bunch in the Ant-Man movie, love Hank Pym as a character and was hoping they could maybe find a way to reconcile the two. :(

Oh ok. Well I just liked in particular the way Bruce Banner was portrayed but thank you! I may check it out anyway.

I love Skottie Young SO much. Like honestly so underrated. Every time I read a book he's on it's like eating cake. And his baby variant cover for Daredevil has been my phone's background for months!

I'm personally very frustrated because I think Hank Pym as a character if you look at his overall history is a great character and has been written especially well in the last five years in Avengers Academy and Avengers A.I. and Ant Man vs. The Wasp and Waid's Daredevil run. And he was diagnosed as bipolar and it was done WELL and then they basically immediately killed him off and I was Not Pleased.

Goodness a Michael Douglas inspired Hank Pym! Delightful!
