This one's a real delight! Just finished the second issue and it actually sent me to the dictionary and wiki a couple of times for reference. Dan Abnett is writing typically wonderful stuff here with a new take on The Prince of Power and Luke Ross' art is awesome!

This book is pure fun! I hope more people pick it up.

I'm really enjoying it too. Probably my favorite Secret Wars book.

It doesn't tie into Secret Wars at all, thank goodness.

I agree, it's fun to read. It came as a total surprise

I meant to type "post Secret Wars" but typed "Post Civil War." Noticed my mistake, and accidentally backspaced the entire thing lol. None the less, favorite new world Marvel book. I've still got Vision, Strange and all the various Guardians books to get to though.

Post Secret Wars, indeed, though ironically Secret Wars still is going on. I think this is my favorite new Marvel book, as well, though Dr. Strange and Vision are close behind. I'm about to drop DD, unfortunately, and none of the other Marvel books even interest me.

Yeah, I read DD1, and have issue 2 lined up, but haven't read yet. If I'm not blown away, DD is dropped. Think I'm dropping Amazing Spider-Man too. I'm not a huge fan of Peter being some millionaire mogul with the public believing Spider-Man is his bodyguard. Who does that sound like? Not a fan. Though, speaking of the latter, I do like Bendis on Iron Man. I'm not a fan of when Bendis is on a team book, other than his run on Dark Avengers 8 or 9 years ago, but when he only has one or two characters to focus on, he's really good.

Yeah, his work on DD and Alias both were great.

I agree.....loving it! In fact, as much as I hate to say it, I'm loving Marvel SO much more than DC right now!

I know it's still early, but both Inhuman books look promising (though I am dropping KARNAK ~ just can't back a book that's going to be AT LEAST three and a half months late with a second issue!), while HELLCAT, SCARLET WITCH, SQUADRON SUPREME, DR. STRANGE and ULTIMATES have got (and are holding) my attention. In fact, only BLACK KNIGHT has me a little....underwhelmed.
Add A-FORCE, MOCKINGBIRD and BLACK WIDOW to the mix the next few months and Marvel is definitely on a roll! Hope it lasts!

Caught up with some new books today. Vision is phenomenal. Its so good. Guardians is fun. Nothing ground breaking, but a fun book, which I'm okay with.
