Basically nothing is new. No one should be shocked by that revelation. I was reading through that Civil War Battle Damage Report to get some updates on Marvel characters and I realized that I almost entirely don't care what happened to a great majority of them. Apparently the 3 characters/teams I actually give a shit about are basically up to nothing. Two members of Nextwave joined Cap's team (aka did something entirely outside the realm of the Nextwave reality, which is apparently still a part of the Marvel U, but I like to think of it as somewhat seperate.) The Great Lakes Champions are patrolling Wisconson after registering. Apparently D-Man is a "potential recruit."
What all of this means? Not much to me. Civil War seems like it was a massive project to change the status quo in the Marvel Universe to get people interested in it, and what it actually did was change the status quo to make me not interested. I don't care what happens to Tony Stark, I'm not interested in Spider-Man's continual problems and most of all I don't care a lick about Captain America's death. I've been a Cap fan for a long time, and this just screams stunt to me. There's no way that this death is going to be something meaningful in the future. It's not "like" the death of Superman. It literally IS the death of Superman.
I also read the first 6 issues of The Irredeemable Ant-man. It's pretty much fantastic. The thing about it is that it ties in with Civil War in some ways, but it totally doesn't rely on it at all for it's stories. Which is nice. There's humor involved, which in the Marvel universe seems to be at a shortage these days.
I have a lot of other stuff I want to talk about but it'll have to wait because I'm tired and going to bed. Listen to the Nextwave theme as much as possible. That is my advice for the day.
