Just read this little gem:
Earth X
I'd read Universe X a while ago and wasn't that crazy about it, but Earth X I liked a little more. It's kind of the Kingdom Come for Marvel... set in the future, more careful artwork, more literary aspirations. It's definately written for the longtime reader, and a lot of it is kind of inward-looking, about the mythology of the different marvel heroes. If you haven't read a lot of marvel don't bother, but I got my personal geek on.
THIS was a big story arc that I thought sucked:
The premise: skrulls have been hiding among earth's heroes for a while, can't trust anyone, blah blah blah. The story is not that great and the art is kind of meh with the exception of the full-page massive battle threads which, fortunately, there are a lot of.
I've been reading comics on the marvel iphone app, am getting an ipad 2 soon and comics are really my main impetus for buying. I have a good deal going with my dad... we share kindle and marvel accounts, he buys books for his kindle and I can read them on mine for free, and I pay for comics which he can read for free. I love the future.
