Man my order from Marcel is delayed upto 4 weeks it’s epically frustratingHouse of #2 came out today.
If you have any interest at all in the X-Men, I highly recommend checking out this new Hickman run.
So far it’s House of X #1, Powers of X #1, and House of X #2, in that order.

Marvel Entertainment twitter has been teasing some Spider-Man comic book news the last few days, and they officially announced it today.
JJ Abrams and his son are going to be writing a Spider-Man comic.
It will go on sale in September.
Congrats on Triumph and Torment. It's one of the best books I've read in half a century. I thought it was out of print, but no. I have the original HC.I read Dr Strange: The Oath and Strange/DOOM: Triumph and Torment this week. Really liked both of them and will look into Dr. Strange more than I've before. Never really interrested me until now. I also read the first chapter/issue of Monstress and loved it!
I also have to once again plug Silver Surfer Black and, of course, the current X-Men run. I've never really gotten into the X-Men that much yet, but this run makes me want to keep reading moving forward - and look back on some other things. I'm loving Magneto & Xavier, Apocalypse is badass, and there are other things I'm loving that I don't want to spoil quite yet.
Anyone else reading this run? I need someone to talk to about this!!!
I bought House of X #1 just haven’t opened it yet. I’ve always had a hard time getting into X-men comics even though I do really like the characters.
I really liked JJ Abrams Spider-man #1 despite its awful cover.
I struggled to get into them as well, but this has done it for me. Now, be aware, in classic Hickman style, there is a lot of exposition throughout this. You have to stick with it, and I think it really starts to pay-off. Maybe it won't be for you, but I'm all about it.
As for Spider-Man, I actually got a variant cover. It's freaking awesome. A die-cut cover. But yeah, I really loved what they did with the story in the first issue.
So, a few notes on some comics I've read lately...
-House of X / Powers of X finished up this week. Thought it was fantastic work from Hickman, and I can't wait to see what he has coming next. I'm definitely going to keep following. One of my favorite series to read.
-I am a huge Donny Cates fan. Currently reading his Silver Surfer and Guardians runs. But, I saw him tweet that he'll be taking over Thor soon, so looks like I'll be paying attention to that eventually too.
-I picked up my first DC Black Label comic this week. 2 of them, actually - Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity & Harleen #1. Loving these so much. May start to check out other Black Label comics.
Really liked Superman Year One #1. Haven’t opened #2 yet.
Can anyone recommend any good Star Wars comics? Preferably something that can be bought in trade paperbacks.
As for my Star Wars tastes, I’m in love with the original series, I think the prequels are pretty bad but the characters are interesting, The Mandalorian is great, but I despise the sequel trilogy and think everything about those movies is terrible (minus the character of Kylo Ren). I also loved the KOTOR games and Fallen Order.
