@neongamewave: I was surprised to see the jump that Boom and IDW made this year. I'm hoping that Valiant can continue to grow. I'm really enjoying their shared universe.

@shonen3: She is alive. Do you mean that you can't watch stuff that the actor has died or watch shows where the character is subsequently killed. Scrubs actually brings her back later as a different nurse that JD subsequently calls Laverneagain because she looks so similar.

Never heard of anyone having an issue with this before. Can you listen to music from dead musicians or read books from dead authors or read about history in general?

Who from Scrubs is dead? I'm pretty sure the whole main cast is still alive.

@omanlew: I just finished watching the series from start to finish on Netflix and enjoyed it all very much. If it did skip around, it doesn't hurt the story at all

The Avengers have always featured villains who were later turned to heroes starting with issue 16 in the mid sixties with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver who were originally in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants as well as Hawkeye who started as a villain as well.

Yes it is. Especially since it was cancelled so early so it's not like you will have to invest a lot of time in it. It is a very enjoyable show.

@socmalig: most books now have taken a long form approach where one story will be told across the entire run of a writer making it hard to pick and choose whichever arcs you want to read. A lot of older books will reference issues that you may not have read but would provide an explanation of what you missed so it wasn't a big deal if you only picked up an arc here or there and not the whole run. It's just a change in the writing styles of modern books.

Just read this on CBR.

Brevoort: That said, and this is another conversation we've had in retreats and elsewhere, and I think we've even talked about it if not in these "Secret Wars" chats, then in other recent chats about previous event books. "Fantastic Four" has been one of those books that, for a number of years, has been effectively taken for granted. It's been considered stodgy, or old school, or some people see it as a thing that's there and people are comfortable because it's there, but they're not particularly passionate about it.

So we're not going to have that book for a while. We didn't have a Thor book for a while. We did"Avengers Disassembled" and Thor went away. For a couple of years, there was absolutely no Thor book, and when Thor came back, it was a huge book. It continues to be a huge book to this day. I think that absence was part of what made people cherish its return, and then it was just having great talent to execute that return. If the same sort of thing happens with Fantastic Four that would not be the worst thing in the world.
