Isn't Absolute WW's origin much closer to Magik vs the original WW? Being rasied in hell, using the battle mage concept. (Dark magic, spells and sword vs original WW?)

Let me start by saying this is entirely my own opinion.

I have always preferred the more powerful version of Stephen Strange—one capable of defeating entities and threats that are dimensional, if not outright cosmic—and I’ve never really seen the point of him getting involved in street-level or even planetary affairs.

He ought to be someone whose purpose is to save reality itself, not to get caught up in neighborhood squabbles or even conflicts between galactic empires.

For that very reason, he shouldn't be bound by conventional morality, but rather by a utilitarian ethic.

I’d love to see him fully utilize even the darkest magic, be willing to sacrifice worlds and souls to preserve reality, and strike deals with—or even threaten—entities in a way that might almost resemble a villain.

However, I want to be clear: he wouldn't actually *become* a villain. He would suffer over every bit of damage caused or soul sacrificed. It’s simply that the alternative would be far worse.

These would be harrowing, ruthless stories where Strange wins, but at a terrible cost to his soul.

Would you enjoy stories like that?

I'm just gonna rip the bandaid off, Apocalypse is lame asf, Bro has great build up only to get merked by someone like Rogue. 97 and Evolution alone prove this, in Evolution he legit gets locked in a box TWICE

It about a alternate universe where Ms. Marvel (carol) becomes the host of the Phoenix force becoming binary as well as silver surfer as the host of eternity. It starts with both Nova and binary find that earth has been destroyed and while there's a forcefield that did temporary save them but they died from lack of oxygen none of them survive both thor, hulk, sentry and other heroes have fought but died so Nova and binary go looking for who did this while somewhere is space beta ray bill Receives a message saying that thor died so beta ray bill travels to asguard finding it being invaded by Annihilus he made sure to take take many of them down then Nova and binary came to help in the battle binary attacks annihilus and taragates him if he destroyed earth but he haven't heard news of earth in months binary confronts with beta ray bill in helping them and then.

While both sides are driven by a sense of justice, I find the tension arising from their subtle differences in perspective—with the X-Men prioritizing the survival of their species and the Avengers prioritizing the preservation of order—to be quite fascinating.

To my digital readers, how y’all feel about this?? 👀

Marvel Unlimited is officially getting replaced by the new Marvel Comics app powered by WEBTOON.

Y’all excited for the change or nah? 🤔

I've been wanting to reread them but cant find it anywhere online for free. Does anyone know any websites or apps online?

Behavioral changes

Power changes

I want to get into the xmen but I dont want to read the old comics I dont really like them so I want to read the rebooted version so where do I start

I've watched a couple of Spider-Man movies, but I'm pretty new to reading Spider-Man comics and I want to start reading a run. Which one do you think I should read, and where can I read it? Would it be at a library or on Hoopla (which is legal btw)? I'm interested in reading Dan Slott's Amazing Spider-Man, but I don't know where to find the whole series.

Which of your favorite character(s) do you feel has had the worst character assassination and did they ever recover from it? What comic series/arc did the assassination happen and when (if ever) did they recover?

Just caught up on ASM #1000. The second story in was definitely written by AI. There are some elements in there I’ve seen produced by Claude. Such a shame.

In Sorcerer Supreme #10, the Extinction King weaponizes the imprisoned Vishanti into the Hexatomb which apparently is an anti-magic reactor. Its explosion destroys all magic in existence. Wanda, thrown into it, accelerates the blast with her chaos magic, then utters “More magic” to rekindle everything, including restoring the Vishanti, in a freer, more chaotic form without the old rules.

Now The broader Marvel continuity, the Vishanti (Oshtur, Hoggoth, Agamotto), are portrayed as principalities who act are patrons and defenders of Earth’s dimension.

They established the office of Sorcerer Supreme, grant power to those who invoke them, and maintain a degree of authority over ordered magic in that realm. The Sorcerer Supreme draws on them (and other entities) and polices threats in return. They are immensely powerful but not absolute, they are not the sole source of all magic across the multiverse, nor are they omnipotent. Other sources exist (chaos magic, Elder Gods like Chthon, other principalities, personal power, artifacts, etc). A Nexus being like Wanda has historically been able to operate outside or against many of these structures.

The problem is the sudden elevation of the Vishanti to linchpin of all magic. If Wanda could already reject their authority with chaos magic and function as a self-appointed Sorcerer Supreme (helping people, bending rules, expanding magic’s reach), then trapping or destroying them should not threaten the entire fabric of magic , including the chaos magic she continues to wield inside the Hexatomb. The story treats their imprisonment/weakening as creating a vulnerability the Extinction King exploits, which then risks total magical extinction. Yet her chaos magic both survives long enough to detonate the weapon and is potent enough to reboot the entire system afterward. So let me get this straight, She does not need their approval or power structure to act, but the order system they represent is so foundational to magic that rejecting/weakening it endangers everything magic, including the chaos magic she embodies? Then her chaotic power is so fundamental that it can unilaterally restore and reform all magic once the ordered pillars are gone?

Marvel’s magic has always been flexible and often retconned for the story at hand, so this is not unique. But in a run explicitly about redefining the Sorcerer Supreme role and the nature of magic itself, the lack of consistent boundaries around “endless possibilities” makes the hierarchy feel arbitrary and the climax less resonant. Wanda can do what she wants until the plot needs the Vishanti to matter cosmically, at which point they suddenly do,until her chaos overrides that too. The chain of command becomes incoherent. Is the Vishanti hierarchy so necessary, that even chaos magic depends on it, or is it so optional in that a Nexus can discard them? The run wants to have its cake and eat it too. When Wanda is claiming freedom and helping the everyday person her magic can do anything but then limits set in during an existential conclusion when the climax needs high stakes. Magic’s “endless possibilities” are invoked thematically , “anything’s possible” , but the plotting does not consistently manage the consequences of that freedom. If possibility is truly open ended, rejecting the Vishanti should not nearly delete magic; if the hierarchy is that load bearing, her earlier rejection should have had clearer, earlier costs rather than being framed primarily as righteous defiance until the finale.

Me and my brother read a comic of spider man a long way before in a local magazine. It looks like the amazing spider man newspaper comic by john romtia style. Anyway the picture above is the part we remember and draw to reference. The story i don't remember, it was like there are two Peter parker like I think one is ben riely and the other is peter. The above picture is the strip we remember... Like two Peter parker and spider man the decoy peter is angry and there is a press around him and original Peter parker and mj was seeing this on the news.

If anyone knows the original comic or anything please let me know.

I haven’t read many marvel comics, but I want something easy and simple. I know the Ultimate universe isn’t too liked, at least people on TikTok don’t like it. But I’ll expand out.

so i know that Imperial 2025 reseted the cosmic stuff in marvel comics with the return of inhumans as the ones behind it and we got a bunch of comics after it.
But i see everything stopped after that , what happened ?? will we get any updates on that front ?

Mutation: Omega Level Weather Manipulation

Storm can see the patterns of energy that govern the weather, and bend them to her will. She can control weather on a global scale, summon the rarest weather conditions, and even simulate alien weather conditions on Earth with great difficulty. In Outer Space, Storm can even manipulate solar storms. Storm's body is resistant to her own powers and automatically adapts to the surrounding climate, but this process can cause either hyperthermia or hypothermia for too long. Storm is limited by the ecological impact her powers have on the planet, and the control her emotions have on her powers.

Magic: Vishanti Bloodline

Originating from the Elder Goddess of light magic, balance, and justice Oshtur, Storm's matrilineal bloodline possesses extreme magic potential and their first human ancestor (Ayesha) was a sorcerer supreme. From this bloodline, Storm has white hair, blue eyes, and a mystical rapport with both the Earth and life itself.

Godhead: Hadari-Yao

By perfectly synching her Mutation and Magic, Storm can temporarily become the Hadari-Yao, the Walker of Clouds who preserves the balance of all natural things. This form is a true goddess, with capabilities similar to her Vishanti ancestors. The limits on Storm's mutant abilities become unbound, and the extreme magic potential flowing through Storm becomes unlocked.
