Got comics this week. Didn’t see Captain America Rebirth. Stupid cockiness fails again.

Geez, you call that far from cocky? So what is that actually then, just being a dickhead per usual?

@Alan: Secret Invasion #8 was supposed to come out at a certain date until suddenly Marvel announced it’ll be a bigger issue, and the date was pushed for 2-3 weeks.

The last issue of Secret Invasion wasn’t late. You guys must be confusing it with something else.

Yeah, wasn’t Secret Invasion #8 expanded last minute? I seem to remember the delay being announced and that having something to do with it.

“Everybody know Siege will have follow up issues coming out for the next half decade, just as ALL of Marvel’s mega-crossovers do.”

Well, that is what Heroic Age is. Similar to Dark Reign and the Initiative for Secret Invasion and Civil War.

“But so far Marvel only has a *slightly* better track record at getting their events out on time and Siege is only a 4 issue event, so I’ll cautiously put my money on Siege finishing first by a week”

True, but DC’s monthy’s have the better track record. Also *slightly*? Secret Invasion #8 was only two weeks late, whereas Final Crisis was going to be so off schedule, they needed to change the artist.

Brevoort never knows when to keep his mouth shut.

Love him or hate him, you have to admit he can make some ballsy statements.

Some funny stuff there, I admit.

As the for the events, though… are either of them ever going to “finish?” It’s really hard to say when these things end. There will often be aftermath issues and spinoffs, sometimes for months. (And then of course there’s “House of M,” which is theoretically “over” yet still sees new tie-in comics released.)

(I admit that I’m not really concerned however it happens, since I’m so cheap that, if I buy any of this stuff, it will be down the road at a half-off sale.)
