I'm with you.... However, here's a question for you all: have there been any of these mini series that you guys would want to be full-time series? I have enjoyed the ones I have read for the most part, but I think the one one I would have liked to see as an actual series is Runaways. Haven't seen how that one ends yet, but it seemed like you could have told a much longer (and maybe better?) story with that particular group. They have a really interesting dynamic and I'll be bummed to see that book go. As for the others, I've read: Old man Logan: gone downhill since issue 1. this has been more about the interesting people he meets than about establishing the Old Man as an interesting character. Future Imperfect: Was looking very interesting up through the introduction of Layla and her robot dog Jamie (I loved the nod to Multiple Man). The second half of the story was a bit too "everything is magically resolved" for my taste and I felt like they wasted some potentially cool characters (Layla and Ruby in particular; the others were mostly forgettable). Little marvel AvX: good as a one or two shot, starting to get old for me. Siege: Almost done now, seemed like it was going to be pretty cool but this last issue was pretty disappointing. Seems like a missed opportunity to make Abigail Brand cool (has she ever been cool?). Instead she's just kind of lame while everyone else does the work. I think the main Secret Wars book has probably been the strongest of the bunch (Runaways could have been a contender but so far it seems like it'll be a wasted opportunity). Looking ahead, the only books I'm really interested in are the Lemire/Ramos X-Men book, and more because of the creative team than the cast, maybe the Young/Andrade Rocket and Groot book, probably Spider-Man 2099 (I'm kind of a sucker for that book) and maaayyybe Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur because of the creative team. Otherwise I haven't seen anything in the previews that has grabbed me enough to remember  |

Troy,
Of the actual "new" series, Moon Girl, A-Force, and Hellcat are certainly on my radar, and of course Dr. Strange will be a must-buy. I'm hoping that the "event" hasn't fouled up the books that I was enjoying, such as Ms. Marvel, Silver Surfer, which hasn't been officially reprieved, or Captain Marvel, with it's new creative team.
As to any mini-series becoming regular, about the only one (not counting A-Force) I'd want to see would be a continuation of Marguerite Bennett's Years of Future Past.

Magneto in Red Skull was awesome. Loved the way he was written and drawn.
As far as series I'd like to see continued: Planet Hulk, Old Man Logan (yay!), Thors, E is for Extinction, and Hail Hydra

Of course, I completely disagree! I've re-read each each twice and can't wait for more. I've loved Hickman at Marvel since Secret Warriors and SHIELD. |

It's ok if people like it, there has to be people who like it lol. Im just ready for my regular pull list again.
I loved old man logan, the original series. The secret wars title just hasn't done anything for me, not that it sucks, i just find myself not into it. And i really really really do not like the idea of oldman logan being the wolvey for the 616. Alot of people are happy though. Im more excited for X-23 becoming the new "wolverine" as she is one of my favorite characters in comics.
Nothing in secret wars has made me pine and wish that it would be made into a regular series. Most of the books are re imagining classic stories as it is, and im over most of that stuff. Stuff like Korvac saga. I love the secret wars title, but i have 0 interest in anything in that storyline being built apon. I feel like most of this stuff i want to be left alone, as is, a part of secret wars 2015, and thats it. And move onto this new re-freshened marvel universe.
I am inticipating a good number of titles post secret wars. This week i added Dr Strange, Squadron Supreme, All the x-group books, All new wolverine, Ultimates.... and a few others im forgetting. And HellCat will be an addition, but if the art is at all in the same light as batgirl, hawkeye or black canary i won't be picking it up, im just not a fan of that art style.
Hickman is a good writer. But Holy Doom, i am ready for his reign to be over. I hope the extreme Decompressed story lines aren't so prevalent. I wont hold my breath though.

just finished finale for runaways and it was by far my favorite of the tie ins. The way it finished I really wanted to see more of this group and where they go from here. Super bummed it's over.  |

I didn't have huge expectation for this event, but it's been much more enjoyable than I thought it would. I've enjoyed quite a few of the tie-ins from this event, including:
Renew your Vows
Attilan Rising
Runaways
A-force
Years of Future Past
and a couple more...
As for the re-launch, I don't know what to think. I will be picking up Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Dr. Strange, Inhumans and Thor. After that I will be testing most to see what sticks but I'm not comitting to anything yet.
Bob,
I totally agree with your sentiments about Marguerite Bennett writing an X-Book or dare I say Fantastic Four when it's re-launched.

I have enjoyed Secret Wars, but its getting really annoying. And the quality of the Tie ins has been dropping. So since the Main book is way of schedule does this mean the other books are gonna get delayed until Secret Wars ends?

I agree with supersmoothers, I've finished a couple of the tie-ins and the endings were good, but they seem to be left open ended or just completely irrelevant. The Inhuman ending was supremely irritating to me. I won't spoil it with specifics, but man what a let down. The frustrating thing is I've enjoyed the event, but it seems like Marvel is more worried about trying to read the market and is scared to commit to a direction for these characters. After seeing some of the endings, I am now afraid for the rest of the books involved. I hate investing time into a book or character and then feeling no sense of closure at the end, it's just irritating.
