COMICS: The Event Of The Year Starts Here! Your First Look at ORIGINAL SIN #0

Wooow this looks really bad...!!!

The Marvel universe has guardians too...............;)

Man, i'm tired of this little kid Nova. Bring back Dick Ryder for dong's sake

And Marvel does this whole --- "And Nothing Will Ever Be The Same" --
"Must Have/Can't Miss" --- "Oh My God This Is Gonna Be Awesome" blah blah fanfare every year. Very, very boy-who-cried-wolf type of thing.

Marvel, I like you. But seriously.... DELIVER this time & I won't be as likely to roll my eyes the next time you over-hype an event.

Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, Kingdom Come, Earth X..... now that's good storytelling, and 3 of those were DC!

Earth X sucked. Some of the worst characterization I have seen.

I am looking forward to this though. It will be used as a catalyst to develop story arch from all the tie ins. Steve will finally find out the Illuminati wiped his mind, We will hopefully find out what happened in the Cancerverse, what happened to Sam Alexanders father, etc.

Will be a good event.

This...is...booooooring...

Uatu hasn't even been an official Watcher for some time now. Why should we care about him?

the only Marvel comics even that has been worth a damn in some time was Battle of the Atom

Only care about this tie in:



So I'll be taking the cliff notes on everything else.

@ Magus and Scarilian.


Magus -- Earth X sucked, huh? Okay.
Yeah, I've been reading comics for over 30 years and I haven't seen anyone ever even try to ATTEMPT to merge the motives, plotlines, and consequences of the entire Marvel Universe. We're talking the Watcher, the Kree, Asgardians, X-Men, Machine Man, Avengers, Black Panther, Fantastic Four, Galactus, The Eternals, the Inhumans, Franklin Richards, the Original Human Torch, the Atlanteans.... basically every note that has touched upon the pages of the MU with the Earth as a backdrop.
Yeah, I guess comprehensive storytelling sucks for folks who hadn't already actually read and followed the character development on all those disparate titles and plotlines.

Earth X was Fantastic.


And Scarillian ---- yes, I did read Dark Knight Returns. This was back in the day when we didn't rely on cartoons to tell the story for us. We had to read. Use our imaginations, give the characters life in our heads and actually make an effort to suspend reality and get into the book for it's own merit.

Maybe it's a generational thing. Lazy, sloppy storytelling is prevalent nowadays. That "Trial of Jean Grey" they just put out was absolute character assassination and lazy crap.... as is most of the stuff they put out nowdays. And I LOVED Bendis on Daredevil.... but you guys probably think that was crap, too. It was brilliant.

Poor Uatu. He just had a baby. He can't fade out on us yet.

I hope this is good. Waid is a good writer. I didn't read Battle of the Atom. I chose to read Infinity since I've been following all of Hickman's Marvel (plus East of West) since he started on Avengers and I've loved all of it so far. Infinity was great and it left off with a legitimate promise that that bigger threats were on their way and reminded the heroes that the collapse of the multiverse was still left unsolved. I can't wait to see where that goes next.

I missed Inhumanity.

Age of Ultron was crap. A complete waste of time. Wish I could go back in time like Wolverine and slap issue 1 out of my hand at the comic store.

Spider-Island was just a confusing let down.

What other recent events have they had?

@ Mikari

There has been very little in the Ultimate universe worth reading. If they were to do some kind of reboot, I would want it to be something drastically different. Like reboot everyone to our current timeline, start everyone's stories from scratch. Limit themselves to no more than 50 heroes globally.

Maybe have Gwen Stacy be the one who was bitten by the spider. A totally new lineup of X-Men. Captain America is President and an "Avenger". Stuff like that.

I think I would really like a Marvel based Universe that is much more grounded in reality. Like I don't mind the super powers, but the technology that exists in comics, the expansive bases, that stuff should be done away with.

And a Universe with real consequences, but not for shock value like the Ultimate universe has used.
