Not sure I'm getting the "flow" of this book/event. Two weeks on, issues 1 & 2 of Secret War core books hit, then ... grinding halt, book stops. Odd Battle World books start popping up & now, this week, Secret War tie-ins. Hard to hang-on.

Personally, I disagree. Not about Ribic's art which I do agree is stunning. But a comic book is a blend of art and script/story. If I just wanted art I'd pick up an art book. Beautiful art cannot help an incomprehensible or bad story, for me.

I am still going to try some , not as many as I thought I would. You could read the main series and be just fine with this one.

I think both writers can be hit or miss at times. Loved Remender on X-Force, and enjoyed Infinity with Hickman...far more than I thought I should've (or would've). I think Hickman sometimes feels this need to protray his writing as a reflection of him being the 'smartest guy in the room', the same way Morrison can be at times. Read the last issue of New Avengers with Doom on the cover by Hickman (because who doesn't love Doom dialogue) and man, I barely understood what the heck was going on (Molecule Man is the bomb that can ignite multiple universes?! Huh?!)
Haven't read SW yet, sitting on 1&2. I'll try to catch up this weekend.

Is anyone out there digging this story? I just can't get into it and feel like I'm reading something that just doesn't matter.

I was really interested in a few titles - but have pretty much lost interest pretty quickly.
Planet Hulk storyline was something I was looking forward to and it turns out to be a Steve Rogers story in disguise. Oh well...
Really bummed that Hulk ended as it was really ramping up to be awesome... and I read Black Widow and Spidey 2099 and Nova monthly - but I might just be done when everything reverts to #1s again. So tired of these re-numberings and relaunches.
