This is one of those comics Marvel puts out every couple of years to introduce you to all their current line of comics and their creators with everyone getting 4 pages. This is about a locked room mystery where someone is found dead. It was billed that it would be "shocking" but my response was "who?" and I've been reading Marvel comics for decades. The story jumps from book to book as everyone is asked is they know what some code is. This was fine but you really aren't missing anything if you s...

This book started out great, with a series of Marvel characters playing pass-the-parcel with an intriguing murder mystery... and it ended really well, too, when it got back to the murder mystery plot. Unfortunately, it fell down by including a bunch of totally irrelevant stuff in the middle of the book.The reason for this, of course, is because this book is actually an advertisement for a whole bunch of upcoming Marvel books, but damnit they came so close to making it feel like an actual story!T...

3.5 stars. The reason I bought this expensive ass book (luckily I get a discount at my part time gig) was because I was interested in this masked guy. Unfortunately he is only in like the first five pages. However I did like how the mystery carried on form the masked guy to Daredevil to Jessica Jones etc etc. Plus how when each new character popped up, they were right where they are in their own comic. Pretty cool. But as the comic progressed we did get a little away from the initial mystery. Mo...

Ish is thick

Incoming is without a doubt one of the most complex plots of the season (well, that might be an exaggeration, with all of the other events that have been happening lately, but you get my drift). It pulls in dozens of heroes, for a variety of reasons. A lot of the twists and turns in this single issue were not ones I could have predicted, and I love that. This issue is a whopping 92 pages, which is a good thing, given how much actually happens within these pages. Seriously, looking back at it, I'...

I have no idea what is happening, who is on what team, who half (or more) of these characters even are, or why they’re all in this massive floppy. I see some wiki browsing in my future.

The biggest problem with this mega issue is that it doesn't deliver on the promise. The mystery at the center covers some of the stories, yes, but most of the middle is just random spots in the marvel universe. Maybe the 20 different stories will connect but it seems unlikely. I'm most interested in the Masked Raider, who is kind of the new Watcher. But Incoming definitely doesn't connect the dots of everything that happened in 2019

The beginning started out really strong but once they deviated too far from the murder mystery it lost some of its steam though that ending was an interesting WTF moment. This is better than some of Marvel’s previous attempts at this kind of “launching point” comic. Better than I expected and the new Masked Raider is an intriguing concept

I don’t usually read a lot of Marvel. I find it a little overwhelming to find a place to start. The universe is so vast, and there are tons of characters with multiple plot lines. I thought Incoming! would be an excellent one-off to read. For the most part, I was following along. There were a few confusing spots but I like that I got to learn about multiple heroes. The artwork and writing are excellent. It was a sweet treat to switch it up.

Incoming! is a 90 page teaser for Empyre with a $10 pricetag.

Hailed as the closing chapter of Marvel's 80th year--and on the heels of Marvel Comics #1000 and #1001, this comic is extremely functional as a teaser of things to come, but ultimately underwhelming. We still have no idea of the Masked Rider's identity and motives.I've been slowly dropping all my interest in "Big Two" books for the past several years. I'm only down to Morrison's Green Lantern and Ellis' Batman at DC--and I'm keen on following Al Ewing's career--that's it. I'll occasionally dip i...

Not so much a Marvel event, more of a bad advertisement of current Marvel titles.Let's go over the book description, with my comments in parentheses:A mysterious murder (that no one cares about) brings together the heroes of the Marvel Universe (every 5-6 pages is by a different creative team, based on which titles are ongoing right now) in the search for a killer (not so much a search, more of a "pass the hot potato") - but no one can imagine where the trail will lead (to an anticlimactic final...

This is another example of almost getting what you planned for. This is, basically, an advertisement for the coming year (spring 2020) of Marvel comics. It starts out strong...fades in the middle....and rallies at the end. You don't NEED this to read Empyre, and it might be included in the TPB books.Worst thing brought into this is the 'Masked Raider'. He wears a piece of the cosmic character Eternity that grants him the ability to be precognitive, slightly. Proximity to someone gives him the ab...

Could have been half the length and just as effective. Some of the appearances felt forced with no apparent reason for being there (of course Marvel may prove me wrong).Each change of team/hero resulted in a change of artist, which to be honest I found off putting at first, but would certainly point me in the right direction for issues to pick up in the future. Some gorgeous Billy/Teddy panels. Loved the FF stuff. And Spider-man (both of them). In really glad I read FF annual #18 before this so

I am so glad I went back and bought this after I read the first 3 issues of the Empyre event! First of all it’s a great murder mystery that sets up the start of Empyre but it also revisits and summarizes all the major Marvel story lines from last year in an entertaining and interesting way, featuring the creative teams from each series, plus my local comic book shop had some variant covers so I got to pick a cover I really liked! Bonus!

A good story, but obviously setting up the next big event for marvel, so overall not entirely satisfying. But it has a great cast of characters, including members of Avengers, XMen, Defenders and Atlas.

So me being new to the whole comic book marvel industry i didn't know that this is actually just advertising a new line of comics. After knowing that, it totally makes sense but like with the way the synopsis was, it's kind of a let down, because as i was reading a lot of stuff in the middle, i just wasn't processing some parts cuz i didn't understand how that correlated to the story at all, now i see why but like it's whatever i guess. Though it did get me interested in certain comics not going...

I read this issue about a year ago, but had forgotten most of it, and felt like I should read it again in preparation for my upcoming read-through of the 2020 Marvel event, "Empyre." I liked this over-sized issue quite a bit, and am especially interested in some of the story threads picked up from "Marvel Comics #1000." Al Ewing is one of my favorite current writers, and I'm really drawn to his new character called the Masked Raider.

It is good that Marvel is trying to create the illusion of a common universe, but Incoming is a total mess. Half of the issue is just a filler and teaser for other series.PS (view spoiler)[ Al Ewing funny riped off of Watchmen at beginning. (hide spoiler)]

This was not a bad book, but it suffered from trying to do too much at once. The result was a story that was disjointed with several segments in the middle that didn't relate to the promised shocking murder mystery.
