In the process of reading the entirety of Marvel continuity from Fantastic Four #1 (1961) onward. Now that I am up to 2016 I sometimes tweet about it.

@natt_oze @klobrille No

@BackintheBronze It's the opposite to me for Gambit and venom. Gambit was insufferable until Kelly Thompson got her hands on him. Venom was bland and uninteresting in more or less everything until Flash became Agent Venom

@Obsidian Friends and Dragons, an actually good mobile game

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@pastas_house The best carnage issue is still new avengers #2. The years immediately after were also Carnage was best used.

@JMDeMatteis @J6Nasty You should not get @MikeZeck to work on it, just to be sure.

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@ffxviJinboy @AndresPlays93 @dragonage I can only speak to DA:O, but it was certainly a much shallower RPG than Bioware's own BG2. The combat just suffered a lot from the bland repetitive enemies, and from some poor area design. The combat mechanics were way too limited as well. The Origins were cool, though.

@Icarus7000 @Comrade_Bullski cmro is not perfect but quite well ordered until 2015. It's as good as it can be until 2005, but the final pass after that is still ongoing.

@Comrade_Bullski @SDHero I would take Bendis' Avengers over the Avengers at any point between Roger Stern leaving and Kurt Busiek taking over.

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski @SDHero I really enjoyed Ellis' Secret Avengers, myself

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski @SDHero While the Bendis run isn't perfect it has some high points. I liked Dark Reign in particular

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

This isn't even bad. It's just... nothing. Completely devoid of any meaning, quality or effort.

@PSSMKR There's only one Batman villain appropriate for a Winter setting and it's the Croc.

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski @AnneComics It lost a lot of steam as it went along, but what hasn't after such a long run, and it was probably the most consistent Ultimate series until the end.

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski @AnneComics I only read it a few years ago after reading the whole of 616 Spider-Man up to JMS, and it was great. A really excellent refresh of Peter Parker, and still what I'd recommend as an intro for new Spider-Man readers.

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski @ImperiusWrecked Fen, Dorma, Namora, Namorita, the advisor guy whose name currently escapes me, and the people from the Byrne run. Oh, yeah, and Betty Dean. Is there anyone else of note?

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski Oh yes. Between that and what he did to Scarlet Witch and Vision, I am not a fan of his.

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski As an aside, I still can't accept the narrative murder Sandman suffered in the late 90s. He should be an Avenger today.

[Gmonkey @DapperMacaque]

@Comrade_Bullski Stern/Buscema is a tiny bit better, apart from the way it was cut short. Under Siege is still the best Avengers story arc, and Monica Rambeau the best Captain Marvel.
