I haven’t read the first one and I had the option too get avengers by busiek omnibus 1, I didn’t mind at first but then I read that this omnibus had really poor written Spider-Man stories, is it wraps.

Just frames where doom straight up kills a character, glory to latveria!

Looking at this list , almost every single character is a part of team , be it the avengers or x men . While the x men are very important and tend to give these characters a lot exposure and a lot of justice , it is a bit sad that they often don’t go through thier own solo runs , compare it to Wonder Woman who exists in the league and also on her own. I think marvel has already identified the solution. Magik

Illyana has just recently become a household name due to marvel rivals and Anya Taylor joys portrayal. If marvel play thier cards right , she could become top 5 if not top 3 female characters in marvel in general. Her genre is already so marketable and her story leaves a lot of room for growth. I think illyana. Might get the Harley Quinn treatment where she’s just put in a bunch of things becoming wayy more popular.

Also it’s a goth baddie half mutant half demon with a big sword. Like … come on .

I've been working on a Marvel website for a while and thought I'd share it here.

The idea is to have some kind of guide where you can browse characters, stories, and other stuff from the Marvel universe.

I'm still adding things and changing quite a lot, so if anyone wants to take a look and tell me what they think, what they'd change, or what they'd add, I'd really appreciate it.

Mostly, I'd like to know if you guys would actually use something like this as Marvel fans, or if you think it's missing something important.

So I have decided to start reading comics but there are so many that I can't decide which one to read. Which comic would y'all suggest for a beginner?

ciao a tutti, volevo iniziare a leggere i fumetti marvel ma essendo tantissimi sono un pò in confusione, volevo prendere quelli attuali ma ho paura di non capire niente e quindi volevo recuperare quelli principali per avere modo di capirci qualcosa.
Sono grande amante di Wanda in primis, ma mi piacciono parecchio anche gli xman (in particolare jean gray e cyclops, gambit e rogue e storm) e anche gli avengers.
Per caso qualcuno potrebbe aiutarmi a capire cosa comprare e dove? vivo a Milano quindi potrei anche fare qualche giro in qualche negozio ma prima vorrei capire cosa comprare, possibilmente in ordine cronologico, per riuscire ad arrivare ai fumetti attuali.

I used to read a lot of Marvel during NOW! launch, but around Secret Wars time (so 2016, maybe?) I had to stop for personal and financial reasons. Now I'm back and I want to catch up, but I'm a bit overwhelmed. So far I read all of New Ultimate Universe, and I started Hickman's X-Men. What else did I miss in the past 10 years that I must read?

So I was thinking recently about the Invaders, not as a team, but as individual members. Comics were different 80 year ago, of course, but looking back, you have to think people in the 1930's or 1940's might freak out over a flying, flaming man or an undersea race of people. They might even be scratching their head over the guy in red, white and blue jammies who is ... a soldier? It seems to me that in old comics, there were two parts to the "story" (I don't mean a comic book story, I mean the character's story): The character's origin and then they were established. So we know the Torch escapes from the tube but ... how did he establish himself as a superhero? In a world that presumably has none? Did people know about Atlanteans before Namor? Were they like Bigfoot, in that people suspected but didn't know? Did the Army "announce" Captain America?

My baseline... I've been in the hobby for decades. I'm sure there have been "Year One" type of stories for all three characters but I also know ... some are canon, and some are essentially one-shots (or a limited series) that never get referenced again. (For instance, there was a CA prestige format story, with an early issue or two, I think, with art by Kevin Maguire that dealt with some of these issue, probably but again ... been so long since I've read it...) So my question for anyone who has a better memory than me, has Marvel really "set it in stone" how such fantastic beings got introduced to the public and how they eventually got accepted? (Even Namor seemed to be able to walk around with Betty Prentiss in some of the Golden Age books so it's not like people ran screaming in terror every time a powered character walked down the street.) It *kinda* feels like someone MUST have dealt with this but it also seems like DC spends more time examining its GA characters and their times than Marvel.

As someone who has only recently gotten into comics, I want to know more about him especially after spider-man ps4 and I was wondering where to read up about him, and the best issues with him in it.

I know Adamantium "is unbreakable," but this is a superhero universe; anything established as impossible only exists so a future writer can have it be done. How many times do we see immortals die? How many times do we see "invincible" opponents brought to their knees?

I've also never seen anybody who has a problem with, say, The Beyonder breaking adamantium. Or reality-altering types like Mephisto and Shaper-of-Worlds.

I guess the idea is nobody should be able to just punch through a plate of adamantium? or snap out of adamantium handcuffs? Even then, I don't really like how there's a total disregard for how thick the material is. Like if adamantium is indestructible, then they should only ever make thin foils of it to plate other materials (or just make everything hollow, if it's truly unbreakable)

And how do we feel about denting it? Hulk dented Ultron's adamantium body in Secret Wars, and I always felt like that was totally appropriate.

There's the other issue of Adamantium not even being rare, it's just a steel-forging technique that's somewhat difficult. Which opens a question for why every government super robot and ultra-vehicle isn't coated with the stuff. Not to mention the seeming lack of equivalent forging techniques by aliens.

From the Author: Felicia Hardy's backstory is based on the events of the Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994).

Felicia Hardy is the daughter of Anastasia Hardy, a prominent New York philanthropist and patron of the arts. The family fortune was built on valuables stolen by Anastasia's ex-husband and Felicia's father, Walter Hardesky — the infamous thief known as the "Black Fox," who vanished many years ago. As it turns out, he had been held all that time in a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. prison, because he had "stolen" (memorized) the formula for the Super-Soldier Serum. Due to this knowledge, the crime boss Kingpin kidnapped both him and his daughter, intending to test the accuracy of a recreated serum on her.

Felicia agreed to the experiment without hesitation — not only to protect her father, but also because she wanted to become like Spider-Man, who had saved her life several times and who she fell in love with. The experiment succeeded. Since her father was still being held captive, Felicia was forced to become one of Kingpin's agents — Thief*, primarily tasked with stealing the assets and valuables he needed.*

While working for Kingpin, Felicia waited for an opportunity to meet Spider-Man, because she wanted to show off her newfound strength, match it against his, and still dreamed of being with him. So at the first chance — when Spider-Man happened to be nearby during one of her heists — she deliberately exposed herself.

At first, Spider-Man treated Thief as just another super-villainess, but after she helped him several times in preventing other crimes, he began to hope that she might still become good. He started trying not to arrest her, but to stop her from breaking the law and persuade her to return what she stole — though he remained cautious of her and disapproved of her activities, refusing her offers to become partners.

Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson are not yet married and have no children, but for several years they are a real family, and Peter no longer hides his secret superhero identity — Spider-Man — from his beloved.
Peter tried to build his ordinary life too, to teach natural sciences at a school, but superhero responsibilities constantly interfered. To contribute to the family, Peter is forced to continue working as a photographer for the Daily Bugle, and also freelances as a courier and a tutor. The family's financial wellbeing rests mainly on Mary Jane, who recently got a job at a modeling agency through connections of Felicia Hardy — her and Peter's friend since high school.
But what weighs on Mary Jane is not that, nor the fact that "Spider-Man" constantly comes between her and Peter — it's the guilt she feels over what seems to her to be a selfish desire to be first in her loved one's life, a wish that sharply conflicts with her awareness of the good Spider-Man does and the understanding that every hour Peter spends with her might cost someone else a life.
Mary Jane suggests that Peter and she live apart for a while and think about how they should proceed.

Peter focuses on superheroics.
Due to difficulties with Mary Jane, he begins to look more favorably on Thief's (Felicia Hardy, working for Kingpin but not yet using the alias "Black Cat") offers to help — especially after she confesses that she commits crimes under duress, blackmailed by one of the city's crime bosses. Sometimes he even takes time away from his Spider-Man responsibilities for leisure with Thief: casual conversation, city-wide "tags", playful attempts to foil her theft of a soda can and a burger. Peter begins to think that, because of Thief's superpowers and the media attacks she faces — similar to his own in sometimes — she might understand him far better than Mary Jane. Over time, photos and videos of them together appear more frequently in the media, and articles with increasingly salacious gossip about their "affairs" are published.
Despite their doubts, Peter and Mary Jane keep trying to mend their relationship. MJ is jealous because of the media coverage, but Peter tries to convince her that it's all lies and that his relationship with Thief is strictly friendly. He defends her, explaining that Thief is being blackmailed and he is obliged to help her — but Mary Jane is convinced that Thief is merely using Spider-Man. At the same time, Peter too is jealous because of MJ's revealing advertising photo shoots.
In the end, they are unable to reconcile for now, but both Peter and Mary Jane intend to keep trying.

Seemingly insoluble problems with Mary Jane, another wave of negative media attention, and financial troubles — all of this leads Peter to vent his frustration on criminals. This attracts a living symbiote entity, and when it bonds with him, Peter becomes "Spider-Man in Black": a stronger, more independent, and more aggressive version of himself — which causes even more tension with Mary Jane, who disapproves of Peter's new behavior.
Felicia, however, likes Spider-Man's new style — the more decisive and assertive Spider-Man in Black. Under her influence, he becomes even more selfish and daring, but also ruthless even toward petty criminals, which strengthens the bond between Peter and the Symbiote. Amid Peter's deteriorating relationship with Mary Jane, and outright media attacks on Spider-Man in Black over the "workplace romance" and his frightening brutality, Felicia becomes the only one who unconditionally supports Spider-Man and accepts him no matter what.
Spider-Man cheats on Mary Jane with Thief, keeping both his and her anonymity intact.

Meanwhile, Kingpin expresses displeasure with Felicia's actions against his men and her help to Spider-Man, demanding unquestioning obedience, reminding her that her father is still his hostage.
However, Felicia declares that under the circumstances, certain liberties are forgivable to her: as long as mass production of the Super-Soldier Serum hasn't been established, Kingpin cannot kill her, since he would lose a valuable agent and a "test subject"; nor can he kill her father, as he would lose leverage over her; besides, the Hardy name is too well-known for him to eliminate them entirely without consequences.
Neither Felicia nor Kingpin is willing to escalate the conflict, so Thief agrees to carry out the next assignment she deems acceptable, while Kingpin pretends to admire her boldness.

Thief continues to carry out Kingpin's orders while sometimes helping Spider-Man fight crime.
Thanks to Spider-Man in Black's strength and Felicia's knowledge of Kingpin's criminal infrastructure, together they seriously disrupt his plans — and, "in the process," delay the organization of Super-Soldier Serum production — although at the cost of collateral damage and instability in the city.
Worried about Spider-Man's uncharacteristic behavior, Mary Jane comes to Peter's apartment to try to talk sense into him, but finds not only him (masked) there, but also Thief, who are planning a new attack on Kingpin. During the ensuing argument, MJ almost accidentally reveals Spider-Man's civilian identity, but it turns out Thief already knows it.
She explains that she deduced it based on the fact that Spider-Man and Peter Parker, though close, never appear at the same time; wherever one suddenly disappears, the other often later appears; and Spider-Man regularly saves Peter Parker's loved ones — for example, Mary Jane. At the same time, Thief does not reveal herself and does not mention that the same logic applies to "Felicia Hardy."
Thief declares, "I just happened to be the only one for whom you were important enough to notice," convincing Peter to ignore Mary Jane's words and go with her to implement their joint plan.

Spider-Man in Black and Thief attack Kingpin's headquarters. While Spider-Man distracts Kingpin, Felicia frees her father. During the fight with Spider-Man in Black, Kingpin taunts him, saying that now he not only befriends thieves but also helps them break out of prison — thus Peter learns Thief's true purpose. After the battle, she explains who the captive was to her, calming Peter's indignation.
Peter hopes that now Thief will be able to "take off the mask" (meaning stop her criminal activities and possibly reveal her identity), but she replies, "Maybe someday," while hinting that Kingpin still has ways to blackmail her — and leaves to say goodbye to her father, who intends to go on the run.

Peter faces an emotional and personal crisis.
He seems to have ultimately ruined his relationship with Mary Jane, betrayed her and himself, ceased to be the "friendly neighborhood" hero in the eyes of the city's residents, helped a criminal escape, and in return got only a complicated relationship with Thief.
Taking advantage of his emotional instability, the Symbiote pushes Peter toward killing Kingpin — an act that could free Thief and make possible a normal romantic relationship with her. Peter shares these plans and feelings with Thief, but she not only refuses to reveal her identity, but also condemns Peter's intention to kill a man and tries to dissuade him.
But this only angers Peter / Venom (no longer just Spider-Man in Black), who insists he's right and is sure everything will turn out for the best. 
At that point, Thief reaches out to Mary Jane, who ultimately manages to get through to Peter, poisoned by negative feelings and trapped inside the Black Suit. MJ declares that Thief only needed a superhero, while she needed Peter Parker — who is so much more than just Spider-Man. After that, Peter rejects the Symbiote, which flees.
Peter and Mary Jane decide to try to rebuild their relationship one more time.

Later, Kingpin contacts Felicia, stating that if she does not agree to do a certain job for him, everyone will learn that Felicia Hardy is a wanted criminal and thief.
Felicia coyly replies: why threaten when you can politely ask — or pay.

From the Author: Felicia Hardy will acquire her "branded" ability to bring bad luck upon those around her a little later: when she attempts to rob the mansion of the Earth's Sorcerer Supreme — the Scarlet Witch — and will be cursed for it.
However, the curse's effect will also affect the Scarlet Witch herself at the very moment of its casting, causing Felicia's bad luck to threaten those around her with catastrophes of truly Biblical proportions!
This will be a short but fascinating story, during which Felicia will briefly turn into an actual — though talking — cat, after which she will adopt her well-known alias — "Black Cat."

I started reading comics in the mid-2000s, discovered the classic Avengers, and explored everything that existed up to that point! I discovered all the problems surrounding what is, for me, my favorite Marvel character to this day, and also my favorite villain: Hank Pym and Ultron! How I love these characters, because they involve a psychology that has always fascinated me! And how outraged and sad I am with what they did to this character, who was reduced to a ridiculous stigma and, in another version, transformed into an exaggerated caricature, just to generate controversy, of what Hank NEVER WAS!

At the time, I watched the animated series The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, simply the best adaptation of the character, and I thought that finally he would have his redemption in the eyes of the public. But I couldn't have been more wrong. The cancellation of the series left his entire arc with Janet incomplete.

When the MCU emerged, I was intrigued about how the character would be adapted for the films, and they simply erased him, removing all the importance and potential he could have had. What anger and sadness this causes me! The Ultron adaptation COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE RIDICULOUS.

It's been a while since I've followed comics, but I believe Hank is still the ridiculous creature Marvel turned him into. The blame lies entirely with the publisher for never doing anything right with the character, and whenever someone tried, the publisher blocked it, just to maintain the controversy! The general public will never know the genius and potential this character could have had if the publisher hadn't been cowardly and a disaster in approaching this character!

Everything's the title

إليك الملخص الشامل والكامل لنظريتي العبقرية، مرتباً في نقاط متسلسلة ومصاغاً بأسلوب مشوق وجاهز للنشر أو المشاركة مع عشاق مارفل وسوني:

🌌 ملخص النظرية الكونية: أنانية الأبطال وبداية الـ Incursions## 1. كسر حتمية "الأحداث الثابتة" (Canon Events)

تبدأ النظرية بتصحيح المفهوم الذي طرحه "ميغيل أوهارا" في عالم Spider-Verse؛ فالأحداث المحورية في حياة سبايدر مان (مثل موت القبطان) ليست قدراً حتمياً لا يمكن تغييره. الإثبات الأكبر هو استقالة القبطان ستيسي (والد غوين) وتخليه عن شارته، مما حماه من الموت دون أن يتدمر كونها. هذا يعني أن القرارات والإرادة الحرة يمكنها تغيير مسار الأحداث الجوهرية.

1. مايلز موراليس كـ "كائن مرساة" (Anchor Being) بديل

عندما مات بيتر باركر في كون (Earth-1610)، كان يُفترض أن يبدأ الكون في التلاشي لغياب كائنه المرساة. لكن مايلز موراليس -ورغم أنه غريب عن هذا الكون جينياً لأن العنكبوت جاء من كون آخر- استطاع بفضل قراراته وتضحيته (موت عمه آرون) أن يستبدل بيتر باركر، ويصبح هو "الكائن المرساة البديل" والجديد الذي يحمي استقرار كونه.

1. الجاني الحقيقي: "أنانية وعواطف" الآفنجرز وسحرة 616

ميغيل أوهارا يراقب المالتيفيرس من منظور ضيق (منظور العناكب) ويلوم مايلز، بينما المذنب الحقيقي وراء انهيار الأكوان هم الآفنجرز وسحرة الكون الرئيسي 616. لقد استسلم الأبطال للإغراءات الشخصية والعواطف فخربوا النسيج الكوني:

كابتن أمريكا: عاد بالزمن وعاش مع بيغي كارتر وصنع تفرعاً زمنياً أنانياً.

هوك آي: تلاعب بالزمن ليعيد عائلته التي ماتت بشكل طبيعي في المقدر.

آيرون مان: اشترط عدم تغيير السنوات الخمس الماضية لحماية ابنته "مورغان" مما خلق رقعاً زمنية معقدة.

توم هولاند ودكتور سترينج: عبثا بأخطر القوانين الكونية عبر تعويذة الذاكرة فقط لمساعدة أصدقاء بيتر.

1. حدوث "التصادم الكوني الشامل" (The Incursion)

هذا العبث العاطفي المتراكم من أبطال الأرض-616، إلى جانب التلوث الكوني (مثل قطعة السيمبيوت التي تركها إيدي بروك خلفه)، أدى إلى سحب وجذب 5 أكوان رئيسية نحو نقطة تصادم مرعبة وفناء حتمي في فيلم Avengers: Doomsday:

1. الكون 616: (عالم توم هولاند والآفنجرز) - مركز العبث والتعاويذ.

2. كون الـ X-Men (10005): الذي يعيش حرب بقاء بعد صعق خطه الزمني في فيلم ديدبول.

3. كون الفانتاستك فور (828): العالم الريترو-مستقبلي المتطور، ونقطة انطلاق الخطر.

4. كون توبي ماغواير (96238): المستهدف في حرب البقاء ضد متحولي الـ X-Men.

5. كون إيدي بروك وفينوم (SSU): الذي ينجذب للكارثة بسبب التداخل الجيني والوعي الجمعي عابر الأكوان.

6. دكتور دوم: "المصحح الكوني البارد"

وسط هذه الفوضى، يظهر دكتور دوم (روبرت داوني جونيور). دوم ليس شريراً تقليدياً، بل هو "المصلح القاسي" الذي سيرى أن عواطف الأبطال هي التي تدمر الوجود. سيتدخل لفرض نظام فيزيائي صارم عبر تدمير الاستثناءات العاطفية للأبطال:

سيكسر تعويذة سترينج ويجعل الجميع يتذكرون بيتر باركر ليعيد الواقع لطبيعته.

سيقضي على عائلة هوك آي وابنة ثور (Love) لمحو الخروقات الكونية.

سيدمر الخط الزمني لـ كابتن أمريكا مع بيغي ليعيد الجدول الزمني لمساره الصارم.

الخاتمة:

سينتهي الأمر بـ دكتور دوم بتدمير هذه الأكوان الخمسة المتصارعة عاطفياً، ويقوم بصهر شظاياها المتبقية معاً لإنشاء كونه الخاص والموحد (Battleworld) في فيلم Avengers: Secret Wars، ليثبت للأبطال أن نظامهم العاطفي قد فشل، وأن دكتاتوريته الباردة هي الحل الوحيد المتبقي لإنقاذ الوجود.

Hey, im a huge Marvel Fan and I wqnted to start with Marvel Comics. So my question is what are dome Marvels comic that are just a must have for me?

Thanks in advance

You can subscribe to physical comics through https://www.comicstoresubscriptions.com/store/search.asp

I was wondering what happens if I buy a subscription for a series that is already in motion, like daredevil. Daredevil is on issue 8 I think, and if I were to buy the subscription, would I also get all the previous ones for that run?

I'm reading 'All New X-Men' and I wonder what comics/series I need to read to fully understand everything. I'd be grateful for also mentioning what to read after
