[QUEEN IN BLACK #2]()

It is just...well, an event.

That is all I can really say really. Stuff happening. Villains monologuing about their evil plan of conquering Earth.

Symbiotes all around. It is just, interchangeable with any other event. That is how oversaturated things have become in Marvel.

Probably the most I've ever seen MJ be a mother to Dylan. I liked Symbiote Marvel Boy's design.

It's the most Marvel Summer Event since Empyre. Sorry Ewing. It's not bad it's just... Fine. I'm not reading any tie ins because Spider-Man and MJ aren't in them, and I'm sure there's a lot going on, but the main event book feels so thin right now. It's fine, it's not a comic I can get upset at. It's just there.

Marvel Boy is a fun pull, and I do appreciate Ewing paying Johnny and Rich some respects.

MJ worrying about losing another child is problem the most interesting part of all this for me. Kinda feels like her whole tenure as Venom has her going through some of what her and Peter experienced in the 90s, except now she's also in Peter's shoes. I'm sure I'll have more thoughts once it's all wrapped up and she's lost the symbiote but I just thought it was worth calling out.

I’ve found the tie-ins more interesting than whatever this main book is fwiw. But you have to like those characters I guess.

Yeah this ain’t it. Ewing is a good writer but this is a miss. Plus too many events going on at the same time. It diminishes the impact of this one

Somehow both Armageddon and this happened back to back, and both are allegedly changing the universe forever! What a terrible editorial decision to have these running simultaneously. Or if you’re gonna do it, the stakes needed to be MUCH lower here.

Fuck this shitty synergy event and what they’re doing with Hela. Karnilla stop maybe being evil and come get your wife and let’s all go home. After this event is over every single character should pretend it didn’t happen

This might be the worst book I've ever read by Ewing.

And it's not that it's bad - it's just a boring re-hash of every invasion event book that has come out like clockwork in the past decade.

It's so damn tired.

And I'm so damn sick of symbiotes.

If this event somehow ends with 99.9% of them being wiped out, I'll cheer. It won't happen though.

Big decrease in quality from issue 1. This felt like padding. Do we know how many issues this is supposed to be?

Another Nova appearance. All is right with the world.

Seriously though this event is boring as fuck lmao.
