Question:
Do you read comic books?
Option 1: Yes, all the time
Option 2: No, never ever
Option 3: Sometimes, here and there
I was curious to know. So is there anyone here who is a comic-book reader and if so, which comic books do you read. For me its Amazing Spiderman, Ultimate Spiderman and Spawn.
I read Image and Marvel. I love Image Comics since they Superheros that are different and freash then Marvel or DC. I got tried of Marvel lately and nothing new has not happen lately after The Civil War saga and DC is decent to me. I will say that Final Crisis kick ass.
Sometimes, mostly just A/P or Sgt Rock.
Well I finally started getting into buying comics for real now instead of buying them off my friends. Right now I am reading Ghost Rider, and any graphic novels that look good to me. The reast of the superheroes that I like I just get updated thrugh the internet.
I've always been interested in them, but never really been a collector of any sort. Except for 2000AD when I was way younger. But I made it a resolution to religously hunt down and purchase every A/P comic out there after I heard about the new series coming out soon ;D
If I had like 1000 dollars to spend...I would be buying everything I can left and right. Because there's too much good stuff all over that it's impossible to read them all. Unless you torrent them. Anybody here read KICKASS? I'm only up to issue 4 and it's one of the colllest comic books i've read in a while, hell I can't wait for the movie.
I used to, like 15 years ago. Just kinda grew out of it. I'm not saying it's a kiddie hobby, because frankly I wish I was still into it, I just don't have time or enough interest anymore. What remains of my collection is mostly X-Force, X-Men, Deadpool, Spiderman, other 90s Marvel series, very few DC comics, and handful of my favorite comic cards (lots of Marvel Masterpiece cards). I gave boxes of this stuff away a decade ago.
I have a few comics, but mostly read graphic novels or bound collections. I used to be really into odd comics like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, but grew out of it.
I read comics all the time. I read Daredevil the most, but I have a huge collection of Spider-Man (haven't read any since the OMD fiasco)which are always great to flick through on occasion. I also often read Deadpool, Superman, Silver Surfer, some Batman (mainly Miller + Loeb's stuff) and a lot of graphic novels, if I'm not feeling in the mood for Superhero comics.
For those of you who don't read comics (or just avoid mainstream superhero comics in favor of GNs) I recommend you check out Miller's run on Daredevil and Kelly's run on Deadpool. Both runs are superb and present two wildly different characters in an engrossing and enormously entertaining way.
Also, anyone here who owns an Iphone and enjoys reading comics, download ComicZeal now from the AppStore. It's great.
I don't really read much. I've got a load of Ultimate Spiderman and will eventually start buying them again. I read the Halo comics. Obviously the AvP ones.
I tried to find my old comics in the attic... Couldn't find'em! :(
Your mom probably threw them away as mine did. I'm pretty sure it was the day I moved out too. I had X-men and Silver Surfer comics.
Now I only collect Spawn.
Heh, naw I had a shoe box full of them. I've moved 4 times since I lived at my parents house and I remember seeing them somewhere! :'(
I see...Well there is only one person left to ask, Mrs. Cellien. Let me know how that goes. 8)
I enjoy reading most of the old school Marvel stuff and Marvel went down hill for me after Civil War. I enjoy Image Comics now since I like their superheros way better.
I sometimes read comics here and there, but the only comic book series that I've really been into was Watchmen, and that was twenty years ago. ;D
Geez mister, you must be like...old. ;)
Or a pretty smart kid. :D

That's funny. ;) I read a post of yours. You said you were about thirty in it. Whether you were bluffing or not, you must be thirty two by now. ;) If that's true your older than me for definite. ;)
Update: I never thought of you trying to blast me if that's how my reply sounded like. ;)
The 'Chief is that old. :D
I recently bought a Thunderbolts vs. Deadpool comic. It was pretty cool, first comic I've bought in about 15 years. Deadpool just looked so awesome on the cover. :) My wife has gone Terminerd since Sarah Connor Chronicles came out, so she bought $27 worth of Terminator comics last weekend. Half of them are the Terminator: Salvation prequel comics.

And as for Cellien, you just used up your last freebie. 8)
I didn't see a similar thread, so I figured I'd post here.
I'm partial to superhero fare. 2000 AD, Punisher, and Hellblazer can be great, I'm sure, but I have a limit for how much depressing realism I'd like to read. I mostly read American comic books from Marvel and DC, though I'm no stranger to imprints like Vertigo and Ultimate Comics or alternatives like Dark Horse and Avatar Press. I find stories involving the Hulk, Superman, Batman, and the Green Lantern Corps the most fascinating. Deconstructionist stories are fine, but really, they're so 80s it hurts. I'd rather read things that reconstruct an established history and add to them or are fairly original. Favorite writers are...Stan Lee, Bill Finger, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, Greg Pak, and Peter Tomasi, to name a few. Art from Jack Kirby, Sam Kieth, John Romita, Jr., Mike Deodato, and Frank Quitely appeals to me most. I prefer fairly recent or new ongoing runs, but right now, I'm reading the out-of-print Marvelman issues. They're okay, but I don't like how Moore seemed more interested in the Overman, subverting comic book origins, and dictatorship of the proletariat than he was in the original material (base as it may be).
So yeah, I read comics.
What I currently try to keep up with:
Green lantern
scalped
Ultimate avengers
Deadpool
ElephantMen
Incredible Hulk
Hellboy
Beasts of burden
Goon
Spawn
Punisher MAX
Hellblazer
I read a few comics every now and then. I never buy the single issues, but wait for the hardcover editions instead. Two of my favorites are the Ultimates and The Walking Dead. I really recommend them both, especially the last one.
Currently reading
Green Lantern
Power Girl
All the blackest night cross overs.
Transmetropolitan
Gonna read sandman soon
Superman secret origin
Harley Quinn: Preludes and knock knock jokes
The Walking Dead
Y: the last man
Trying to read Captain America Reborn but that craps taking so long to come out and its not that great.

Hah, I love that issue of DP. He calls him a Brillo pad at one point doesn't he? Ah, I was laughing so much when I read that for the first time. No one can write DP like Joe Jelly.
Working in a comic shop like I do, I read a fair amount of stuff. Right now I'm getting Adventure Comics, any Aliens/Predator/AVP stuff that comes out, Batman, Batman and Robin, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Guardians of the Galaxy, StarCraft, Teen Titans, and a fair amount of odd miniseries and whatnot. Very much looking forward to the upcoming Terminator and Stargate comics, too.

Same here. Thor, Invincible Iron Man, and Captain America have been boring me with all this build-up to Siege, which doesn't look too hot either. I might follow Fall of the Hulks instead.
I have been reading War of Kings lately, it was rather awesome. I need to finish reading Secret Invasion soon. As for DC, I enjoy more of their Vertigo stuff then most of the DCU stuff IMO.
To be honest I've completely stopped reading marvel.
I started reading deadpool again a few months ago but it didn't do anything for me.
Only read Cap Reborn cause I wanted to see how they'd pull off this ridiculous "time bullets" crap.
Marvel lately has been a mixed in the bag if you ask me, I do enjoy Annihilation, and War of Kings. But other then that I feel like DC is doing better then Marvel now lately.
Grant Morrison said a while back his mission was to make a "sentient DC universe," one with its own chakras and menstruals and everything. Personally, I think Grant hits the hash a little too hard every now and then. But between the overlapping Black Glove/Reverse Flash/Black Lantern concepts, the pulp hero celebration Batman is becoming, and Geoff Johns' emotional spectrum concept, DC is great to read now (besides some hiccups with Superman and Wonder Woman). Plus, with this new graphic novel approach to publishing they're experimenting with, we might see a big shift in how comics are made.
Marvel, meanwhile, has been...Marvel. Not much to say. Spider-Man is still coming out three times a month, and the bullpen is still pushing the Neo Silver Age angle "Everything old is new again." Steve was never dead, just...honestly, I can describe what happened to Bruce Wayne better than I can what happened to Steve. Oh, and Tony is still busy being the whipping boy for everything that happened in Civil War. It doesn't feel like anything's been added to the MU since Avengers Disassembled, just removed until further notice or replaced by a writer's favorite.

what happened to Bruce Wayne
Speaking of Bruce.
I'm actually looking forward to this Bruce Wayne through time thing.
I hope they don't let him come back, just have a series of Conan batman.
FC was the last main DC comic title I read, I have not read the BL yet. I hear it's rather awesome.
Used to read lots of Star Wars and Aliens comics amongst other things - but haven't bought anything new for the better part of a decade.
I stopped readings comics around early 2008. There was a time when I wasn't buying any because the money I did have was going elsewhere, and I fell so far behind, I just stopped buying. Stopped caring too.
Vertigo comics like Sandman, Lucifer, Book of Magic, Preacher, and 100 Bullets are worth checking out if you have not read them yet. I like Vertigo then most DC comics since their more mature then most DC comics, and most of them don't take place in the DCU.
Quote from: Huol on Dec 10, 2009, 08:54:17 PMI hope they don't let him come back, just have a series of Conan batman.
He's definitely coming back. They wouldn't be calling it Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne otherwise. But ROBW no. 1 is all about 'Caveman', so that's something to look forward to. Also, we're getting Witchhunterman, Pirateman, Cowboyman, and Noirman, which sounds neat to a pulp buff like me.

The Green Lantern tie-ins are cool, but the main issues have been boring until just recently.
Anyone into The Walking Dead? I got hooked last summer and am almost entirely caught up.
I read more comics now then I did before, but mainly the ones I can check out from my library or buy at used book stories. Although I try and keep up with current comic storylines via the internet. Probably one of my favorite comics is Ultimate Spider-Man.

I just finished reading the first 67 issues in a couple of days. Best stuff I have ever read.
There's a TV-series coming out? Reading this and the news that Natalie Portman will be in a zombie movie the same day is threatening to melt my brain with its sheer awesomeness. ;D
Miniseries produced by Frank Darabont
The only comic I've ever read is Watchmen, but that thing is so detailed that I just call it a book. Actually, I did read some of the Simpsons comics a few years ago, but I've never really been big on it.
I love the simpsons comics! Ive got a couple of the treehouse of horror collections, very funny stuff. ;D
I remember sending in a drawing for their simpsons multiplex thingy, got it printed but didn't win anything.
Now that the Onmibus are out for Aliens, I just get read those. I also bought the Resistance comics, but that is pretty much it.

I have read all except 2 of these, but you got a good deal!
Futurama comics are awesome too ;D.
Sometimes... But now I have to buy some new ones :P
The Walking Dead on AMC, by Frank Darabont...pretty friggin' peculiar. But what I've read of the comic was solid, so maybe it'll turn out well.
I read the Dark Horse Aliens comics.
Anyone read Incognito by Ed Brubaker?
I sometimes read comic books.
I've read the Aliens Omnibus volumes 1-5 and I'm hoping for 6 and all of the Predator Omnibuses for Christmas.
I've read Deadpool Classic volumes 1 and 2 and Cable & Deadpool volumes 1-6, again hoping for 7 and 8 at Christmas.
I don't really buy comic books every week/month because I can't afford it.
Oh yeah, I read Watchmen a few months ago.
I've also read Batman: Arkham Asylum A Serious House On A Serious Earth (definately worth the read if you can find it).
:)

How much did you end up paying for it? I don't want to try and hunt it down and figure out that it is more than I want to pay.
I offen read comics when I get the chance, but I read more manga then I do with comics. Screet Wars and IG is still my favorite Marvel story arc IMO.
I really didn't like Arkham Asylum.
The art really turned me off.
Alien/Predator/AVP comics.
The Halo Graphic novels
Gears of War comics
Manga: Naruto, Rosorio Vampire ect,
When it comes out, the Mass Effect comic.
Now, the top 3 comic companies have a different game in their thrall: Halo is Marvel, Gears of War is DC and Mass Effect is Dark Horse.

The art irritated me too because I couldn't understand what was going on in a lot of the panels, then I read the script in the back (I have the 15 year Anniversary Edition) and I understood what was going on.
I re-read it and I kinda like the art style now. :)

I wouldn't say that I didn't like it, but I wouldn't say its as good as it's cracked up to be. Everything seemed off, especially the characterizations. What can I say though, it's Grant "pass the hallucinogens" Morrison.
You read Gotham Central Huol?
Nope, heard plenty about it though.
Its just about a bunch of Gotham detectives right?
Yeah it's supposed to be like CSI Gotham. Crime comics are my fav so I've always wanted to pick it up.
Just for you, PBA:

Thats awesome! Is it out yet?
Yeah, it came out yesterday.
Merc with a mouth isn't that great...
You're better off hunting down his original run.
Deadpool hasn't been great since Kelly's run finished (30 or so issues in).
I follow writers/artists rather than characters nowadays. If nothing else because following all the multiverse type of stuff makes my head hurt. For writers i really enjoy Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis,Brian Azzarello(sp?) and Mark Millar. Walking Dead is a great one as is The Boys for ongoing stuff.
My absolute favorites are Ennis' Punisher MAX run, Preacher, Fables, Transmetropolitan and 100 Bullets.

No clue. I'm talking about the series that finished back in 97' in case you're thinking of something more recent.
I just finished reading Powerless. It's a pretty good mini which deals with a "real world" (as in no super powers) take on well known Marvel characters - specifically Peter Parker, Logan, Matt Murdock and Frank Castle.
...isn't Frank Castle already powerless? Or have I just missed something...

O haven't read a single Deadpool comic, so I just liked the Alien spoof on the cover.
I just barely read on what happened to the Punisher and all I have to say is that is possibly the most disturbing thing i've ever seen done to a character that I have known for years, I was freaking disturbed as hell just looking at him. I am referring to the fight with Daken.

Frank is a peak human, so he is already powerless. I wish Doctor Strange would go back to his old ways. He got own by a bunch of ninja's when Classic Strange was able to embodiment of all time and space throughout the universe. I hear Doctor Doom, and Sentry got a recent powerup lately also.
Isn't frank a frankenstein now or something?
I don't keep up with most comics then I used too, I'm not so sure. But Sentry now can control all the molecules in the universe and was also able to defeat Molecule Man in combat effortlessly now. He is now a cube level being now from what I have been told.

Yeah, I heard the same thing. I'm not surprised. Bendis has been taking forever to get to the point with the Sentry, and I don't think I cared enough to begin with. The only good thing that's come out of his existence was an awesome ending to World War Hulk.

He fought Daken and got chopped into bits by those Muramasa-coated claws. Then the Mole Man's Moloids fished what was left of him out of the sewers and Morbius turns him into "Frankencastle."

Ohhhh my god marvel why
That's how he turns into Frankencastle?! Oh good lord, i thought maybe they threw in some supernatural elements, like he goes to hell or something, and that's where they turn him into Frankencastle....this just....f**k.

Marvel Vampires would be another idea they will do next. Marvel Apes was bad enough (Who idea was that anyways?).
I don't want to know.
Marvel Vampires with Blade is the way to go.
I actually really enjoyed Marvel Apes, until they did the crossover with zombies. It was a good, fun read.

So far I haven't been enjoying Blackest Night. But then, I don't like zombies, so that may have something to do with it.
Dark Avengers #12 summary for those who didn't read it:
Spoiler
Tommy Lee Jones is trippin' balls 'cause Molecule Dude messed with his brain. That hot purple-haired goth chick tries to surrender on behalf of America to the badder bad guys, 'cause Molecule Dude unmade the Dark Avengers. MD accepts, but not before erasing her clothes for some reason. Blonde Superman un-unmakes himself and fights Molecule Dude, to try and get things back to the way they were. MD blows Blonde Superman's limbs apart, but he comes back and makes MD submit. After everyone's back, MD's blown up into cosmic Kirby rays. Then Blonde Superman gives an all-knowing speech on how all the weird stuff he's known for is a result of molecular manipulations, which he didn't know he was doing until 5 minutes ago. Fake Ms. Marvel and naked Tommy try to thank him for the help and offer psychiatric help, but then he's like "I think I'll go home now" and does. The issue ends with Fake Iron Dude back at HAMMER trying to rip off his face and Loki lording over him, kinda like he's about to mount him.
Marvel's making less and less sense the closer we get to Siege. Anyways, Blackest Night has been okay. The story direction started off shaky and Reis' art goes from great to poor in places, but it's starting to pick up in a very good way. I'm guessing from the solicitation that #6 is going to make some big waves in the DC universe.
Marvel is going absolute apeshit with this garbage.
Marvel regularly goes apeshit. I've learned to deal with it. Its gotten to where Guardians is the only Marvel book I read regularly. Iron Man has been interesting the last couple issues though.
For me, I am just reading Ghost Rider, so far it's the only thing that is awesome as hell because the character doesn't delve into the rest of the Marvel Universe, the only time was during World War Hulk and when the gates of Heaven opened.
Is Jason Aaron still writing it?
Ghost Rider: Heaven's On Fire is what I am currently reading, just started on issue 1 and will work my way up to issue six later on, but this is the climax of Aaron's run from what I understand.
Oh, there's a mini now?
Started reading the Aliens vs. Predator comic. I don't know, maybe it's just that the only other comic I've ever read was Watchmen, but it doesn't seem very good from what I've seen.
Which one? There's quite a few AvP comics out there.
Also, yeah, going from only having read Watchmen to reading an AvP comic would be sort of like listening to Kind of Blue, then going straight to, say, a Josh Redman album - the Josh Redman is still good, but it pales in comparison.
Come to think of it, I probably shouldn't make Jazz analogies with this crowd.
Ok, here's a better one: It would be sort of like listening to the Black Album, then going straight to the newest Disturbed album. Disturbed is good, but the Black Album's a classic.
Both of those analogies went over my head. One for me, I think, would be: "It's like listening to The Who, and then Boston. Both are great, but Boston just pales in comparison."
I'm reading the original 1990 one, with the Ryushi colony and the ranchers.
If you like Watchmen then try Sandman, Book of Magic, or 100 bullets.
Maybe I will. I've never heard of any of those other ones, but I may check them out.
Sandman is the other book people proclaim as being 'the greatest comic ever written'. The Watchmen camp is bigger, and I myself belong to it, but the Sandman camp is still significant. I put Sandman just under Watchmen though. Its an absolutely brilliant piece of dark fantasy, and is easily the most literate comic ever written.
Books of Magic is in the same vein as Sandman, and is much like a more adult version of Harry Potter. In fact, there were some (frankly well-founded) rumors when Harry Potter was first coming about that J.K. Rowling had directly ripped off of Books of Magic.
100 Bullets is crime noir at its absolute grittiest and finest. If you like the genre at all, you will love 100 bullets. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you don't like the genre, I'd probably skip it.
Frankly, if you liked Watchmen, I would first explore some of Alan Moore's other work before you venture too far out. V For Vendetta, Batman: The Killing Joke, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and his Swamp Thing run are all uniformly brilliant.
Okay. One of my friends has V. I think I'll borrow it from him. Thanks.
The Dark Knight returns is great too also.

mmm...

I hated DK2, personally. Matter of fact, I've only ever known one person that liked it. I guess you make the second.
Opps my bad, the both part was my original post since I was making a post about Sandman but you already posted a replay in the thread. I never read DK2, but I hear it was crap.

Oh, trust me. Its almost as difficult to read it while looking at it as it is to read it
without looking at it, because of Lynn Varley's hallucinogenically garish color work, and then if you do manage to read it, you get something that makes Deadliest of the Species seem lucid by comparison.

Yeah, nothing off-canon, it has to deal with Blaze and the current Caretaker where they have to go find the anti-christ in order to save the world,. along the way they'll meet up with Ketch and I believe the last issue will deal with ending the whole "WE MUST KILL ZADKIEL!" story that has been going since, well, since the main comics and the mini of Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch.
QuoteStarted reading the Aliens vs. Predator comic. I don't know, maybe it's just that the only other comic I've ever read was Watchmen, but it doesn't seem very good from what I've seen.
Some good comics to read if Watchmen was your first are Transmetropolitan, The Maxx, All Star Superman, Miracleman/Marvelman (name changed after a copyright claim), Kraven's Last Hunt, Swamp Thing, Flex Mentallo, Crisis on Infinite Earths, and maybe Final Crisis.
I suggest Kraven 'cause it's an appropriately dark story, unlike a lot of other "dark" tales. Miracleman is hard to find copies of and it's where Moore first tried out a lot of his ideas for Watchmen, so it might be redundant, but you might also like it. Can't suggest Swamp Thing any higher; it's one of the best serialized comics made. Watch the Maxx cartoon adaptation on YT if you have doubts. It's pretty good as an animation and a comic, though the comic got to go on for longer. The Crises can be enjoyed by themselves, but Grant Morrison comics can be very, very abstract and continuity heavy. Transmet and All Star are awesome. If you only read two, read those.
Consider The Maximmortal and Spider-Man: Blue, too. Maximmortal is another Overman concept comic, but it's still a good examination of it. Blue is a good one-shot, but it's more about the emotional ride than the technique put in.

Transmetropolitan
thanks for reminding me i need to hunt down the rest of those.
By far the best comic I've had the fortune to read.
Quote from: ShadowPred on Dec 20, 2009, 05:05:09 PM
For me, I am just reading Ghost Rider, so far it's the only thing that is awesome as hell because the character doesn't delve into the rest of the Marvel Universe, the only time was during World War Hulk and when the gates of Heaven opened.
One of the great things about the Daredevil ongoing series. He barely has any contact with the mess that is the rest of the Marvel Universe.

I'll try to look out for some of those. I'm not a very big comic guy, but I'll try out some of those and see what I think. I also just finished the AvP comic. Man, that thing was bad. I didn't really like the artwork that much, none of the characters were well developed, and the story seemed very rushed and disjointed.
AVP comics are not bad, but not great neither. Terminator comics from Dark Horse where pretty good though, I never read the IDW ones though.

What's funny is the Terminator comic rights are actually split between 4 different companies right now. Dark Horse has the rights to The Terminator, Dynamite has the rights to Terminator 2, Beckett has the rights to Terminator 3, and IDW has the rights to Terminator Salvation.
And still nobody has had the good sense to pick up the rights to The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

I wish some one would. I don't believe it is, but when I saw this TPB I thought it was a T:SCC comic. Dosen't it look like one?

Comic or animated series would work, I may hate it with all my might, but there is no reason for the show to NOT be picked up in some way, shape or form.
lol actually Revolution is reasonably close to a TSCC book. Sarah looks a lot like Lena Headey and young John looks a lot like a cross between Thomas Dekker and Edward Furlong. I enjoyed it, although it was a very light read.

So who has the best T comics? DH, Dynamite, Beckett, or IDW?
Overall, Dark Horse, especially some of the early stuff, and I'm excited about the new series. Dynamite's stuff was really fun reads, though. Didn't care much for the Beckett and IDW books.

Thanks man. Ah yes I loved those comics! At least they reprinted all the G comics in the 3 TPBs. (excpt the Godzilla vs. Charles Barkley) I wish they would reprint thier Gamera series.

Well, even though they're not technically Omnibi, Age of Monsters and Past, Present, Future collect the entire run (sans the aforementioned Godzilla vs. Barkley, and I can't remember if it has the G vs. Hero Zero story in it), and they're the same size as the Omnibus editions.

The first standalone story is one of the few worth reading. You could try Alien: Labyrinth, which is excellent, or AVP: Eternal. But those three are pretty much where the quality ends.
Quote from: AeusI thought All Star was alright, but I wouldn't recommend it that highly. And I love Supes. Then again I've only read volume 1 if memory serves.
For someone coming off of Watchmen, which is dense in symbolism, it's a good start. As a complete story, I found it to be fantastic. Easily ranks up there with Moore's Silver Age sendoff as one of the best distillations of Superman's character.
...And yeah, I'd advise not reading Miller's Batman at all. The Dark Knight Returns is mostly a bad interpretation of what Batman's about (which I figure most Batman fans will disagree with me on) and All Star Batman and Robin is a waste of time. I've heard murmurs it was supposed to be an intentional parody of 80s era comics, but when I read it, I didn't get that vibe at all. It was just embarrassingly bad. Batman: Year One is great, but it's more an examination of Gordon's Post-Crisis character despite the name.
I'd suggest Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: The Killing Joke, No Man's Land, and Batman R.I.P. as places to look if you'd like to get into the Caped Crusader, by the way.

Thats what makes it so beautiful.
I think the Marvel Godzilla comics where the first comics I ever read. I remember one figure came a free comic in it. I finish War of Kings, It was good but I was rather confused with some of it. Overall it was good, and I'm going to read it again too re-read parts I missread.

Marvel's G comics were less serious then the DH ones, but still they were fun. Also I would say that I wasn't that thrilled by Frank Miller's Batman books at all. I did like the Long Halloween alot though.

I'll have to reread volume 1, and pick up volume 2 to really pin point what didn't sit with me. Definitely don't remember it being nearly as great as "Whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow" though.
QuoteBatman: Year One is great, but it's more an examination of Gordon's Post-Crisis character despite the name.
I always thought Year One was the perfect Batman story. I feel Batman works better when he's not the center of the story, but he's there throughout. But you are right in saying it's more an examination of Gordon.
So does anyone else here read Ultimate Spider Man?
Ultimate Marvel comics are rather awesome though. I like the Wolverine vs. Hulk fight in Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine.

They then find a maskless Spider-Man in the rubble. In the last panel, Spider-Man opens one of his eyes, signifying that he is still alive.

Agreed. And while I'm more of a fan of Spidey as a teenager and not a grown up married man, there's the Ultimate books and serveal others to read. And why would Peter sell his marraige to the most evil being in existence in the first place?
It really is completely ridiculous, I think I remember reading that Quesada didn't want Spidey to go through a divorce because that would apparently be sow spidey as a bad role model for the kids or something.......and I guess making deals with a hellish supernatural demon doesn't fit into that anywhere.

1. One More Day
2. Everything after that.
One More Day piss me off, I hate how everyting before that was pretty much recton in the 616-verse.

I remember him saying he wanted the marriage over because he felt a marriage wasn't right for Peter. I was like WTF? Not right?
One more Day is one of the worst Marvel titles I ever read in a long time. Why does a cube level being like Mephisto want Spider-Man marriage for anyways? Mephisto was awesome back in the day though when he look like this.

What is everyone favorite Marvel storyline? Mine are IG, Secret Wars, Black Celestial arc, Jaspers' Warp, WWH, The End, Age of Apocalypse, Civil War, and Dark Phoenix Saga. I have more, but those are my main favorites.
Civil War. Just so well-written, and felt very real too.
I haven't read Civil War yet though I want to. And while I didn't read all the issues, Spider Man Back in Black was a big fail.
I disagree, Back In Black was the best SM story before the disaster that was One More Day.
Civil War was great, while killing off Cap was a bad move to do but it work out better then I thought it would did.
My favorite Marvel story is Spider-Man: Blue. It's a shame that the current staff feels that Spidey's marriage was a creative dead end, when Loeb clearly shows that not to be the case. Favorite Ultimate Marvel story is Grand Theft America. On DC's side, I thought Sinestro Corps War was awesome.
Civil War was too flawed. It was mostly doing damage control after Bendis- by his own admission- failed in getting people interested in a darker Marvel universe. As a result, it felt forced. It also had a shaky premise; I find it hard to believe the Avengers, who just a year before in Marvel time saved the world from Kang's global dictatorship, would be treated like trash over an indirect incident that has happened many times over the course of civilian defense. Yes, what the New Warriors did was stupid, but in a world where far more than half of the people who accidentally gain superpowers selflessly put their lives on the line for no monetary gain, it's a stretch to believe not a single person in the public would try to see things from the heroes' POV.
QuoteI disagree, Back In Black was the best SM story before the disaster that was One More Day.
Nah, that time I saved the whole of the universe and killed every mother f**ker was better.
I'm reading Captain America 1-50 (i'm currently at issue #30 now) by Ed Brubaker. It's pretty badasss. All the way through since issue one, the whole storyline has been epic. I didn't know how good it was gonna be. Nothing cheesy with this version of Cap. ;D
I notice they made James Bond comics from Marvel before. Did anyone read them?

So happy they went with the design I was hoping for.
OMG
^^^^ All I could really say when I saw the cover just now.
Haven't followed DC in a while, but is Montoya still the new Question?

Seeing as he shows every emotion under the sun when the black lanterns look at him.
He doesn't feel avarice or fear, though.
I'm still waiting on what the prerequisites for white emotion light are before I get into the guessing game. Dove can emit it, and we know combining the spectrum results in it, but there's still a lot of questions about it. For all we know, it won't do jack; having the Anti-Monitor in the black central battery could make Nekron immune to it, since he said it only fed their power last time they tried.

He shows fear in his special a couple times. I think the only one he hasn't shown is Avarice.
You're probably right though.

I'm currently reading it now and it's alot more darker/graphic than I expected. I'm on issue #2 and it's pretty good so far. It helps to see the Freddy vs. Jason movie before this series because it references some threads and side characters that appeared on there.

lol actually Revolution is reasonably close to a TSCC book. Sarah looks a lot like Lena Headey and young John looks a lot like a cross between Thomas Dekker and Edward Furlong. I enjoyed it, although it was a very light read.
So who has the best T comics? DH, Dynamite, Beckett, or IDW?
I just read 2 very good Terminator runs from the mid '90s from Malibu/Marvel that picked up right after second movie. "Terminator 2: Nuclear Twilight" and "T2: Future War". What's cool is that they included deleted scenes into the comics from the original T2 script and both series have imput from the movie's fx creators. I'd put it up there along with the best Terminator stories from Dark Horse. I haven't read the "Becket" stuff (thought T3 sucked). Still got the recent "Dynamite" T2 comics in my "to read" pile though.
The Dynamite run was pretty good, especially if you liked The Sarah Connor Chronicles, since it borrowed a lot from that. The Malibu books, though. Those are the absolute shit. Definitely the best Terminator comics that have been done in my book, although also worth tracking down if you can ever find them is the Now Comics line from the late 80s, before T2 came out. They focused entirely on the Future war, and while they took some occasionally strange artistic license, they were actually pretty good.

I have the NOW era books (need 2 more issues from the regular run) and "Burning Earth" and that last 2 issue Chuck Dixon penned series. Those were good. There was a great dog/terminator cover art in one of the issues. I always wondered why Dark Horse hasn't collected those comics yet since that's around the first movie era license.
I was looking forward to the Dynamite T2 comics but I thought that Sara Chronicle Conner tv show was awful so I hope the comics are better. I heard Dynamite is reprinting the "Robocop vs. Terminator" series now that they have the Robo license. That should be cool.
This one's coming out next month which i'm definitely hitting:

I really gave that show a chance but man, I found it so incredibly boring. The long soap opera pauses by the actors was brutal. It felt like I was stuck in slo-mo while watching it. :-\ ;D

I may hate that show with a vengeance, but I completely disagree with you right there.
Hell ya alot spend about 60 bucks every visit! I got about 10 shops spread through out about 3 citys that I visit.
I just finished the new Aliens reboot, and it was mediocre.
Also bought Batman AA: A Serious House on A Serious Earth and it was fantastic, but it felt sort of odd to me.
I just recently started getting more into comics. I started out with just the AvP omnibuses, but a friend got me into The Walking Dead, and that got me into a lot more zombie comics lol. My local store is having a special sale next month, I might catch up on all the alien reboot.

I saw The Walking Dead series and said to myself, "That looks pretty cool.", is it any good?
But the Alien reboot was one of the good, but at the end, I felt ripped off. Not worth it.
I cant say enough good about The Walking Dead. It's got a great storyline, honest to god character development, thought provoking drama and a crap tone of good old fashion zombie gore. I highly recommend it, but I think you pretty much have to start at the beginning to get the full effect because a lot of the tension comes from the dramatic change and corruption of the characters.

You might want to check out Preacher comics since their very good. They have well wirten stoires, and their rather dark too. The comics are about a guy named Jesse Custer, a down-and-out preacher in the small Texas town of Annville. Custer was accidentally possessed by the supernatural creature named Genesis in an incident which killed his entire congregation and flattened his church.

Looks really cool, thanks for the heads up! :)

It seems to have the tone of Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Is this true?
Some story arcs have more of a Romero vibe than others, but yes the comic definitely fits in the same category of zombie horror. The humans are much more of a threat than any of the corpses.

Jesus, god, f**k! What the f**k is that?! Oh, christ!
Besides those extra christmas white lights doesn't look bad to me.
No, it'll probably just be the same as the previous rings, retailers have to order a minimum amount of various books to get the privilege of buying the rings, that they then give out to their customers.

Has anyone here read Superman: Secret Origin? Is it any good? I'm waiting for the hardcover edition, so I don't get to read it until August. :(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman:_Secret_Origin
Spoiler tag the last two images, Huol. I'm sure there are people who don't have #7 yet and would prefer that be a surprise.
Secret Origin is...okay. If I wrote a Superman origin, a lot of my own concepts would mirror Johns' exactly, so it's not that I disagree with the story. I just find the way that it's told to be boring. Johns said this would be its own thing, but all I see is homages to Superman: The Movie and the Silver Age left and right. Good character beats mean squat under the weight of all this forced nostalgia. I felt the "been there, done that" elephant's presence, so after the third issue I stopped buying it.

Simply put, i cant wait
I'm interested in seeing how First Wave ties into The Return of Bruce Wayne. The cards left around Batman and Robin say "Vengeance arms against his Red Right Hand," and right from #1 First Wave deals with a murder mystery involving bloody hand prints, so my early guess is this might tie into whatever "Noirman" does in ROBW since he's around the same era as Doc Savage.
Also, it gives me an excuse to read something involving The Spirit, who I hear is a good character.
Screw that its got pirate batman!

I read the Batman/ Doc Savage one shot and the build up was really good but the ending/wrap-up was horrible and too easy. I'll still check out the First Wave stuff because of the first half of the Bats/Doc Savage book kept me interested and the Azzarello writing probably works better as an ongoing than a stand alone issue.
The first 12 issues of the recent Darwyn Cooke
The Spirit run is an excellent read if you're looking for Spirit stories. Not cheesy or predictable at all. Good stuff. Also the Batman/Spirit one shot that was a lead in to the series was a good read too.

Could someone help me out here? I want to start reading the Batman series, but I don't know where to begin. I took a look at Wikipedia and Amazon, but there seems to be no guide as to where to begin. If I understand it right, I should read the collected editions in this order:
Batman & Son
The Black Glove
Batman R.I.P
Battle for the Cowl
Long Shadows
Is that right? I'm would be thankfull for some guidance here. ;)
Oh, and I just ordered Hellspawn: The Ashley Wood Collection. I didn't even know this series existed until a couple of hours ago, but it looks and sounds awesome as hell. ;D
If you've never read Batman before I'd suggest:
Batman: The Man Who Falls
Batman: Year One
Batman: The Man Who Laughs
Batman: The Long Halloween
Batman: Dark Victory
The first two set in stone who Batman/Bruce Wayne is, and Year One is definitely worth a read if you prefer realism over romanticism. The latter tend to tread the line between the two but are all great reads.
However if you're trying to catch up on current continuity I suggest just diving straight into The Return of Bruce Wayne stuff. I should be fairly self explanatory.
"Let off some steam Bennet!" :D
I'd also recommend:
Batman: Greatest Stories Ever Told Vol. 1 & 2 (assorted stories, of Batman adventures)
Batman: Scarecrow Tales (assorted Scarecrow stories)
Batman: Birth of the Demon (Ra's Al Ghul origin tale)
Batman: Tales of the Demon (assorted Ra's Al Ghul stories)
Yeah, definitely pick up the Ra's Al Ghul stuff. He's a great villain.

Yeah it doesn't start for a couple of months, but I meant start reading it when it hits the shelves. As for reading something in between to play catchup? Well, IMO it could all be done via Wikipedia as it's all going to be fairly self explanatory and anything you read before hand will just be unnecessary backstory.
But if you really wanna read it then go for Batman and Son, Black Glove, R.I.P and then force yourself to read Final Crisis. If you read all those you should be set. ;)

Also get your hands on The Killing Joke. It's absolutely essential as it gives you the lowdown on the Joker, and what ultimately his relationship with Batman means.

I'd throw in the 7 issue "Resurrection of Ra's A Ghul" storyline too (after "Batman and Son" and before BatmanRIP). And "Final Crisis" for its last 2 issues. The side crossover tie-ins of Nightwing and Robin were pretty good too. I'm trying to catch up on the "Batman Reborn" stuff myself.

ehhh..
Kinda grimdark for the sake of being grimdark
Not really. It's dark because it's giving a fresh look at the character. He's still the same Joker in the sense that he's wildly unpredictable and psychotic, but on the surface he's different. Where the standard Joker wants to play on constant game of Cat and Mouse with Batman, and make the Gotham residents as nutty as him, this Joker is motivated by sadism and desires Gotham to be own 'turf'.
It's just a view of the Joker that's grounded more in realism, and thus more disturbing than your standard Joker outings. That being said I prefer the psychotic clown to the sadistic mobster.

Not my Joker!
I wish there were more comic book stores were I live.
There are none here.
I buy trades at a book store or order online. :\
Never been to Forbidden Planet Huol?
I go to Things From Another World over at Universal City Walk when I have money, and even then I can't buy the whole store. :'(

We dont have one here.
Seriously.
Nothing.
Nada.
Zip.
:c
Hawhaw, I got one like 10-15 mins down the road.
I will build one near you Huol! Just need money!
I've got a Westfield Comics near me. Good selection, the only thing I'm reading right now though is Ghost and Robocop.
And they always have Terminator toys.
There's plenty where I'm at, namely 1 000 000 Comix and Silver Snail ;D
I know 2 where I live. One of them is literally 2 blocks away. It's quite a convenience.
I know one near me and it is very well stocked. When I walk in, I can usually get what I'm looking for.
;-;
I'm pissed off that trading cards aren't made anymore with the exception of the Marvel Masterpieces. Did anyone else here trade Fleer Ultra Spider-Man and X-Men cards back in the 90s?

Lucky you. My local's criminally understocked. They didn't even have most of the big titles for any of the popular characters, and it's a
Europe wide chain store.
If there's an item that I have an interest in, such as an Marvel Omnibus or Masterwork I just let my comic shop owner know and he orders it for me. It takes about 2 weeks to arrive. :)

Hypercrisis
is real. :o
I just read through Superman: Red Son, Brainiac and New Krypton. Great stuff, especially Red Son. Next up is Thy Kingdom Come. I really like the Superman from the Kingdom Come universe and it will be nice to see how he interacts with the "real" Superman. :)

I love Alex Ross.
Yeah, he's great. Too bad he only did the cover on Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Re-read Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth yesterday. I love that book. The art style is so vastly different from anything I've seen in a comic, it's gritty and dark. :)

I read adult comics, such as Druuna and Lorna (and other comics by Azpiri). I used to read The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, along with comics by Robert Crumb, Rick Griffin, and other "underground comix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_comix)" back in junior high and high school. (No puns intended.) I still have most of my stash from back then.

Looks interesting, although I don't like how the Joker has been drawn.
I came this close to buying dark reign today.
Decided it was too expensive.
Mixed feelings about Blackest Night. I'll be stick to main character books during events from now on.
On the plus side, I'm diggin' how interconnected the DC universe has become.
Just finished reading the first 35 issues of Cable & Deadpool. I have the first six volumes, and I'm awaiting the arrival of the seventh. I love the series so much. ;D
Has anyone read Superman: Year One? Is it any good?
Do you mean Secret Origins?
No, I was thinking about this one.

Quoted from Amazon:
J. Michael Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5, joins forces with rising star artist Shane Davis (SUPERMAN/BATMAN: THE SEARCH FOR KRYPTONITE) to create this original graphic novel that gives new insight into Clark Kent's transformation into Superman and his first year as The Man of Steel. This is the first in a new wave of original DC Universe graphic novels, featuring top writers' and illustrators' unique takes on DC characters.
They are doing one about Batman as well.

Oh yeah, Huol told me about these. I didn't think they were out yet, I was planning on getting both.
Yeah I'm very interested in supes.
Bats as well to a lesser degree, not sure about that costume.
Is it me or does Batman's head look huge in that drawing?

On another note I just finished reading Ennis' run on Punisher Max again. I'll just say if you haven't read it...
Read it now.
Batman,Alien or Predator,Spiderman,Superman,Godzilla,War of the Worlds,Iron Man,Star Wars,anything that has to do with UFOs or werewolves,ect
I don't collect much anymore except for Alien and Pred trades. Overall I always preferred DC but I consider silver age Marvel to be the best superhero comics ever made. I consider the old EC comics the greatest comics ever made overall.
It wasn't until a few years ago that i really started getting into comics. I read Batman, Star Wars: Knights of the old republic, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, Sin City, Iron Man,etc...

I think it has, the last thing that Marvel put out is the Heaven's on Fire trade paperback that was released last month. I see nothing for April at all.
Pfft. Wonder why I never renewed my subscriptions...
Was there really any more they could have done for the character? I stopped reading after Heaven's on Fire #1 and if at the end of the mini series they managed to beat Zadkiel, what more was there for them to do? The whole Ghost Riders' from the future arriving to tell the new caretaker that they have to stop Zadkiel since there is still hope. Well, if by the end of heaven's on fire they managed to do that, I see nothing else for them to do. So I think that's it.
I don't see why he couldn't be written like anyone else. Give Johnny a normal life, he fights crime, makes a few big enemies, and we're golden.
So, anybody been reading Deadpool Corps or Merc With A Mouth? I'm wondering whether to get them or not.

After fighting Satan and saving the world from another renegade angel. I don't see what else they can do to equal or top those threats. Not sure if Blackheart is still around, but I guess they can always bring him back to start some shit.

At least this is now easily accessible. This used to be in some thread in the general movie section, and everyone should be exposed to such an article.
This guy is just f**king terrible. I give him credit for creating Cable & Deadpool, but Jesus wept, he can't draw for shit.
It made me confident in my drawing skills. The one thing above all that really pisses me off about Liefeld, besides the plagiarism, is that he hasn't improved one bit in the last 15-20 years.

Been getting into "The Walking Dead" graphic novels, which thus far have been a great read. Only have the first two novels though :( , been looking for the "The Walking Dead Compendium Volume 1" at my local bookstore, which is all eight volumes in one.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.barnesandnoble.com%2Fimages%2F41300000%2F41302385.JPG&hash=568663757eb8264a0f0ed78a2dca83f19e3b39e4)
Another series I've been getting into is "Northlanders", which has been pretty decent thus far. If you like Vikings, sex, blood and alot of cussing then you'll love this.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fecx.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F51P89HqAarL._SL500_AA300_.jpg&hash=63853f84b9a483e26c0d1467b007987bab39e92d)
And finally, I bought a graphic novel called "Welcome to Hoxford", which is about werewolves hunting convicts in a prison facility which is runned by the werewolves. The designs for the werewolves were fresh and pretty bad ass, great read imo.

Has Ghost Rider done anything after the events of WWH?
Ya, he reconnected with his younger brother and waged war on a fallen angel.
I ordered the Kick-Ass graphic novel yesterday. Should be good. ;D
Does anyone know where I can find the unfinished comic series Battle Chasers? Like is there a website for these things?
I just read Kick-Ass, and the movie was far better.
Movie and Comic Spoiler:
Spoiler
The comic ends with a huge 'f**k YOU!' to Dave, with Katie rejecting him and sending a photograph of herself giving her new boyfriend a blow job, whereas the movie ended on a more upbeat tone with Dave getting the girl and generally feeling good about himself. One of the reasons why I prefer the movie.
There were a few differences between the comic and the movie, one of which is the ages. Dave is 16 in the comic and Hit-Girl is 10, whereas in the movie they are 17 and 11, respectively. Not a huge difference, not even an important difference, but still. Some of the changes I preferred, and some I didn't. Overall, it was an enjoyable read and I'd recommend it.
EDIT:
Check out this (http://www.cracked.com/article_14789_8-least-threatening-comic-book-villains.html) article, it's hilarious. :D
Recently came back from the comic store and read Seige 1-3.
And I am going to have to get that Kick-Ass book sometime soon. :o

Btw Huol, have you read the first ish of Brightest Day? Any good? :)
Yeah its gettin good.
Deadman/alivemans story is starting to get interesting
I was thinking of getting The Flash: Rebirth this month. Has anyone read it? Most reviewers seem to like it, which is a good sign of course. I'm a big fan of Quicksilver, so I'm fairly sure that I'm going to like Flash, even though I never read much about him before.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg52.imageshack.us%2Fimg52%2F7084%2Fflashbd.jpg&hash=39ab97c4f240db604d4c63e6b3c1c23a78e7d2e0)
Oh, it's good. Ethan Van Sciver's art is beautiful. Some of it may be a little difficult to understand. Like how Barry returns becomes a little lost in translation. GL Rebirth was simple enough to understand. But Geoff does a really good job on this tapping into the Flash mythos. As mentioned a little of it is hard to understand but it's worth it. Good read, go for it. :)
I also recommend Flash Chronicles Vol. 1 if you want to start reading Flash. It deals with the origin and earliest appearances.

Collects Daredevil #61-81, Daredevil: Ninja #1-3, and What If? Karen Page.So that first one with Kevin Smith, is that the original so to speak? Do the other omnibuses follow the same storyline and if so, why are there a giant leap between issue 15 and 61?
I know there are two other omnibuses that follows the last one, so I'll get a hold of them later.
The Kevin Smith material is from the realm so to speak as Punisher from Marvel Knights (Welcome Back Frank)
Marvel tends to reboot magazines, so after the Daredevil Marvel Knight run they rebooted the book and had Brain Michael Bendis write for it. This tends to be confusing, so I apologize. The Kevin Smith material is different from the Bendis material
I would go with the Kevin Smith volume first. There are quite a few Omnibus' that deal with Daredevil. Unfortunately most are out of print (including the Frank Millar material) The one above by Bendis is Vol. 2 of a two volume set. Volume 1 is out of print, so if you started with that second volume, story wise it might not make sense *if* you read haven't read those stories.
Mark Steven Johnson based his Daredevil movie heavily on the Kevin Smith and Frank Miller material (they both have cameos in the film)
Here is a link to Vol. 1 of that two volume set by Bendis
http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Michael-Bendis-Maleev-Omnibus/dp/0785131124
As you can see, since it's out of print they're asking outrageous prices for it. :-\
From a story stand point it would make more sense to read the Kevin Smith material first.
Any more Q's let me know! :)
Guys, I have a question: I wonder, was it worth buying the manga series BloodPlus? I've seen anime film Blood: The Last Vampire, and I began to see some episodes of the anime series, but nevertheless, I wonder if the mangas 8 are good to buy or not.
I´ also have ,the 10 books of The walking dead.

Visit this website:
Man Without Fear (http://www.manwithoutfear.com/daredevil.shtml)
Neither are a particularly good place to start. Assuming you haven't read Daredevil before of course. I'd advise this:
The Man Without Fear
DD: Yellow
Frank Miller's Run on DD (Collected in 3 volumes)
Born Again
Guardian Devil
Bendis's run on DD (collected in 2 omnibus sized volumes)
Brubaker's run on DD (collected in 2 omnibus sized volumes)
Despite what First Blood says, he is in fact wrong. Guardian Devil (Smith's storyline) takes place in the exact same universe as Bendis's run, so much so that you could say that the events in Guardian Devil are what shape Murdocks character in Bendis's run (to an extent).
I'd also
strongly advise buying Daredevil: Redemption at some point. It's fantastic.
Huh? I thought the Marvel Knights universe was it's own separate thing like Ultimate. My bad...
Aeus, recommends some great books.
Also, The Essential Daredevil books collect the earliest appearances in black and white.

Ah! Understood. The thing about Punisher is what confused me about it. It jumped from Marvel Knights to MAX and it was weird to determine what was canon.
I always thought the Max storyline was completely different to the Knights one.

That would make sense, there's few things though that Ennis brought from the Marvel Universe into the MAX Universe like Microchip and he talks to Frank and their teamwork in the past and Nick Fury.

I loved when Frank blew off Microchip's head off with a shotgun. I f**king hate that character.

Edit: Found the three Miller paperbacks too, I'll probably get them this month as well.
Yea, both those are great. They're retellings of the origin of DD both from Miller's version and Loeb's version.
They're great jumping on points to start reading DD.
The Miller paperbacks are great as well. They have Kingpin, Elektra and Bullseye in them which was the direct influence for the film.

Yup those are the ones you wanna get first. Definitely pick Miller's stuff up afterwards. Most people say it's the best, but personally I find Bendis's run to be superior. Still an awesome ride, as the run is pretty much a visual depiction of comics changing from campy, swashbuckling stories into what they are today. You also won't find a better single issue anywhere than Daredevil 181, although 191 is almost as good.

Miller's Bullseye is the reason I always revisit those three volumes. He's almost a more compelling character than Murdock himself.

So I decided to read Daredevil Noir today. I always dismissed it as redundant because frankly, 616 Daredevil is already 'noir', so doing him in a universe with a 'noir' twist is pretty pointless.
About three pages in I forgot all about that as I found myself reading not only a great Daredevil story, but a great comic to boot. Irvine nails all the characters, wonderfully captures the relationship between Murdock and Fisk and also does an interesting spin on Bullseye (or The Bull's Eye in this case).
I guess the lesson learnt is to not judge a book by it's cover. Also worth mentioning that DD's costume in this is f**king awesome. :)
So, anyone who reads Deadpool, who do you guys personally prefer writing the Merc, Daniel Way or Fabien Niceza?
Just got done reading Blackest Night.

Ain't that the truth.
I'm not much of an event man mind, but DC's are pretty sweet. Hopefully Shadowland will step up Marvels game, even if it is for street level characters only.

The issue where Wade goes back in time to an old Stan Lee Spider-Man issue is the single greatest Deadpool story ever written.
I loved it. When he turns into a hologram of Peter Parker and interacts with Peter's friends, it's genius.

I like Joe Kelly's Deadpool, but I prefer Niceza's version. I find it funnier but he also manages to make some scenes (?) serious and touching. Cable & Deadpool issue 42 was so amazing, the writing was what really gave it that extra edge.

Have you actually read all of Kelly's Deadpool? His stuff has most of the serious takes on Deadpool I've seen. It's all about how Wade is actually just a very damaged, traumatised individual who feigns insanity as a cover for his pain.
This is one of the reasons I felt Way's interpretation was way off. Niceza's stuff? It's okay, but it's hardly good writing.
Pfft, f**k Daniel Way. Only the biggest hack writer in comic history. Why they gave him Ghost Rider initially is beyond me.

Quotehe also manages to make some scenes (?) serious and touching.
because Kelly's Deadpool has lots of serious moments, Niceza is between Kelly and Way, because from what I've heard of Way's Deadpool he's made the character into a joke. I haven't read enough of Way's comics to judge, but I have the first two volumes arriving in the mail sometime this week so then I can come back with a proper opinion.
Anyway, I didn't ask who your favourite Deadpool writer was, I asked who you preferred out of the two, Niceza or Way. I was just curious. :)
Oh, and thanks for the comments on my digi-drawing, guys. Means a lot. :)
The two Deadpool books written by Daniel Way arrived today, Secret Invasion and Dark Reign. Time to see if all the hate directed towards Way is for a good reason. :)
I'm running out of room for comics.
I require more shelves!

I am currently reading Daredevil: Born Again which takes place after the Bullseye, Elektra run. This is another Frank Miller storyline, and it is fantastic. It's not your typical DD story. Matt Murdock loses his job, home, and almost dies. The Kingpin finds out his secret identity and makes his life a living hell. Not by going after DD but going after Murdock himself. A truly great story by Miller.

I decided never to buy Absolute editions after I got my Watchmen one. Why? Because I found that I never wanted to touch it for fear that I might do some damage to such an awesome thing. I'm pretty sure it's still in the Forbidden Planet box it came in. It does help that it doesn't fit on my shelf (all my DD omnis barely do) because it's so goddamn big, so there's no temptation to get it out.
That being said...Ever time I see an Absolute Edition: Kingdom Come, I get a strong temptation to add another to my collection. :D

It's the definitive Daredevil story. Miller perfectly de-constructs, then rebuilds the character of Matt Murdock, but not without pausing to give America some shit before the last page turns.

So, I read Volume 1 Secret Invasion and I'm quite close to the end of Volume 2, I'm enjoying it a lot. I'll gladly tell you why.
Firstly, I was on a Deadpool Forum for a while and they were all saying that in Way's books Deadpool runs away and is just a complete joke, I disagree. Deadpool is now clearly genuinely insane, seeing things in a 'Pool-O-Vision', which is a nice touch but overused, and hearing multiple voices in his head, which I'm OK with. I find it funny.
Some spoilers towards
Deadpool #1-11 as to why I disagree with the other forum's claims.

Deadpool only ran away from the Super Skrull due to the need to set a trap and gain the advantage, which he did. He defeated the super skrull using a well placed trap and some patience.
He ran from Tiger Shark because he was unarmed and Tiger Shark was armed with a damn machete, not a stupid thing to do. Yet again, he needed time to conjure up a plan.
Throughout the issues he maintains some seriousness and also intelligence. He's hardly a complete joke, he jokes around an awful lot more than he used to, but he still knows enough to get the job done.
The way I see it, throughout Deadpool's run he has slowly lost his grip on sanity, an idea I'm only half-okay with. The original Deadpool comics saw Deadpool faking insanity to hide the pain that the Hospice and Killbrew's workshop bought him, I only read Cable & Deadpool after
The Circle Chase and various other Deadpool books, but nothing to do with his origin, so I'm not entirely sure as to what happened next, but Deadpool was then aware that he was in a comic book and considerably more insane, but still able to maintain his serious and somewhat caring side towards Cable. After Cable & Deadpool I haven't read anymore comics that lead up to Way's books so I don't know what happened afterwards. We get to Way's run and now Deadpool is highly unstable and insane, for some reason. So his mental stability is clearly breaking down and degenerating at a steady rate.
That's just my theory.
Overall, I'm fairly, well, not impressed but not disappointed, by Way's run. I still think Niceza's run is the best representation, a good mix between funny and serious with some epic storylines.

Was this by any chance a "jab" at that one time that Batman knocked out Guy Gardner many, many moons ago?
Yes.

Meh, if bats got a power ring without the fear to hold him back, Hal wouldn't be called 'the greatest green lantern' any longer.
Bats wouldn't be allowed to be part of the corps.
Using fear as a weapon is a big no no.
ShadowPred has the right idea when it comes to GL vs. Bats.
Thanks

Damn straight, man.
Flash would whoop Batman's ass. ;)

Can't really comment on Deadpool, the only comic with him that I've read is the Cable/X-Force crossover, Messiah War. He had been trapped in a freezer for about 800 years and spent the time creating different personalities to play Hangman with. ;D

I haven't read the crossover myself, but I found those few panels very amusing. ;D
The crossover wasn't anything special, but the Deadpool part was fun. Might have to pick up something more with him. Where would be a good place to start?

I'm assuming you're American, in which case Deadpool Classic Volume 1 (http://www.amazon.com/Deadpool-Classic-Vol-Fabian-Nicieza/dp/0785131248/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274639932&sr=8-1) would be the best place. It's the first two Deadpool story arcs.

I wasn't suggesting that you couldn't read English, sorry for the confusion. I just asumed because most people here are from America or Canada, both of which deals in dollars, hence the link to the American Amazon. :)
No problem. :) I've only recently started to collect the english paperback and hardcover collections. Before that I read the single issues in swedish instead, but that was a pain in the ass, having to wait months before something got released here.
Yeah it's like that over here in England too, movies, comics, games, everything is delayed.
QuoteThe Motherf**king Flash
Now, I don't know how many of you dogs of the scurviest sea read comics, but I do a big pile of comics. One thing that blows my mind is how completely insane the powers in the DC universe are. Look at Superman. This guy has more powers than French restaurants have ways to say "your taste in wine is atrocious". He has powers to do with every part of his body and then some. He forgets powers sometimes. He can shoot heat rays out of his eyes, frost breath from his mouth and red son radiation from his ass. He's that sort of crazy dude. All because he absorbs solar radiation.
Look at Batman. His power? The anti-power. Sure, he should be some tame, kung fun master of not much, but instead he's the hottest shit to ever shit on a plate. You got a power? He'll find your weakness and give you seizures or heart attacks. He'll light you on fire when you're sleeping or make you recharge your green lantern ring in the power outlet. Ten thousand volts of f**k you batman. That's Batman.
But the f**king Flash, my god, my f**kING GOD, this man has the greatest powers of all. If Superman's powers are being sucked off by twin super models and batman coming home to discover your wife is not only bisexual but has two friends she wants you to 'get in on' then the Flash is an orgy with a thousand women who also want to pay your World of Warcraft billing. And click the mouse for you. This man is just that f**king hot. They have to power him down in the comics half the time just to keep him from doing everyone else's job.
Ok first off, he can travel at lightspeed. Mother f**k! Not only does he travel at lightspeed, but time slows down for him. So he feels like he's having a casual jog or reading the paper, meanwhile, his feet are moving so fast you can hear him coming from Montana while he's already gotten to Arizona. That's f**king fast. But wait! The ability to move at Lightspeed just isn't f**king enough!
I know! Christ this guy can punch you so many times in a second you've been hit five times in the cock and two times everywhere else. You think you're about to fight the Flash and then it hits you, for the last split second he's beaned your beanbags with more blows than you had sperm. But no, there's more!
The Flash can also vibrate through walls. Now last I heard, you can not move so fast you can vibrate through walls, so what actually happens is the Flash is so fast he can pick and choose the movement of his individual molecules and move them through other solid objects, phasing through solid matter like it ain't no thing. I mean you think a guy who runs at lightspeed would run into shit but no, the Flash just goes right through them. To top that with a cherry and some whipped cream (which the Flash made in like a millisecond, f**ker) he can selectively choose to cause objects to be "okay" afterwards or f**kING EXPLODE. That's right. He can run through you and make you blow up by transfering kinetic energy into you. Like Jesus. IT's bad enough you can't hit this guy, but he doesn't even have to punch you. Now your testicles have exploded and you're thinking you're about to hit him. Jesus? Just give it up. He's the f**king Flash.
Now imagine that somehow there's someone who can get around the Flash blowing your balls up secret ninja technique. Ok. He can also control the flow of energy between objects. This power makes no sense but basically he can throw a rock at you, and you think it's going slow and then he's like WHOOHOOO WIZARDLY FLASH POWERS and bam it's going at lightspeed. So he can throw seven million rocks at you in a second then make them all goes different speeds thus striking your nads with seven million rocks one after the other.
But wait! There's more! He can also take energy from the very power of speed and make clothes out of it. Yes. Flash makes his pants out of GOES FAST. The man is so fast he can make Flash pants that GOES FAST go right into. I don't even start to understand the physics of that but basically SPEED == REALLY TIGHT UNDERWEAR AND COOL LIGHTNING THINGIES OVER THE EAR. You would think this is the end of it but ok let's say Flash is fighting Superman and shit he's going to lose and f**k how is Superman THIS f**king strong? I don't know he must be Superman fused with Batman into some sort of guy with tons of plans on how to punch you far harder than anyone else ok to end it off the Flash can GO BACK OR FORWARD IN TIME ON COMMAND.
How do you beat this dude? You're thinking you're hashing him good, laying down the beatdown, missing your balls and suddenly BAM YOUR MOM FELL DOWN THE STAIRS TWENTY YEARS AGO and there's a dent in your forehead and Superman not thunk so gud no more. Actually she didn't fall down the stairs the Flash put speed into them so they fell up her! f**k you Flash! You moved the stairs to Soviet f**king russia! RUSH-A! Bitch.
Oh, and lastly his greatest power is he isn't fast in bed. He takes it slow and gets all the ladies with his superpowers then actually satisfies them in the sack. Who the Hell is this guy? You'd think he could AT LEAST be a premature ejaculator since his penis is moving at lightspeed but NOOOO he's even good in bed.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Wolverine sucks cock and should go die in a freak greasefire.
I just read one of the best Marvel stories I have ever laid my eyes on. :o
Sub-Mariner: The Depths
This isn't a superhero story, this is a ghost story. It tells the tale of Dr. Stein, who is on a quest to prove once and for all that Atlantis is only a myth. But the deeper the u-boat gets, the more paranoid the crew and Stein get. This is a dark story, bloody and violent, and quite creepy every now and then. The art is amazing as well, and Namor looks like a damn monster.
You guys should check this out, it's really good.

Hey, all 50 Cable & Deadpool issues were awesome! I don't see the problem with Daniel Way either, and since Fabien Niceza co-created Deadpool, and he wrote Cable & Deadpool, clearly Niceza didn't much like how Kelly wrote him, since he's drastically changed.
Niceza ftw!

SHIT YEAH!
Spiderman is my favorite no doubt about it. I just recently really got into comics though. I have a subscription to Amazing Spiderman and I buy intresting limited series like Civil War, Spiderman Noir, and AvP comics. Honestly i'm not a big fan of DC besides Batman. And I agree Wolverine is overrated I'm not a big fan of him.
Just read this:

My thought's throughout: f**k YEAH! DOOM! f**k YEAH!
It's all about Doom and Strange going into Hell to reclaim the soul of Doom's mother. They fight Satan and a whole load of demons. It's awesome. It touches on the origins of the two characters, weaving them together in places. It also led me to my conclusion that Doom is Marvel's counterpart to Batman, albeit an evil one.
Read this if you haven't. It's pretty awesome.
I love Doom and always wanted to read some strange.
This sounds like the book for you then. It has a nice old school flair, and Doom is as grandiloquent as ever.
I rarely read comic books these days and I am not exactly a big fan of them either, but my favourite ever comic book series was the Ironman: Extremis by Warren Ellis. Best ever comic book that I have ever read followed closely with Watchmen (which was a comic book series to begin with).
Aliens, Predator, AvP, Spawn, Haunt, Hellboy, BPRD, Star Wars, Green Lantern... and a lot of Wildstorm Mini-Series.
Recently read:
World War Hulk. - One of my faves.
Fall of the Hulks.
A Dark Horse Predator comic.
Realm of Kings - One-Shot.
X-Men: Age of Apocalypse.
The first two issues of The Thanos Imperative.
Hmm, I have an Astonishing X-Men Omnibus waiting to be read. Looking forward to it.
I've asked for Civil War and Civil War Frontline I and II for my birthday, I loved the story in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 so I'm sure the comic will be even better.

:D I'll get to it! I am almost finished with a Tomb of Dracula book that I am reading.
And I entirely agree with you. Blackest Night was an absolute thrill ride masterpiece compared to Siege. DC knows how to write a major event! :)
Siege wasn't too bad, imo. I'm glad Sentry's bitch ass is dead. Thor ftw. Blackest Night is indeed a masterpiece! Just finished reading Brightest Day #3. Ant-Monitor is awesome.
You know, finishing up Blackest Night, I reflected a bit on how, all throughout this seven-year run of nonstop major events that Marvel and DC have been doing, DC's had been nigh-universally better written (with the exception of Final Crisis. WTF was up with that?). Anyways, I had more or less stopped reading anything Marvel except the cosmic stuff (Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, et al), but Siege I will say, pleasantly surprised me. Very good story, and has actually got me getting Avengers now, and I'll be picking up the new X-Men when it hits as well.
Thanos Imperative, though. Holy shizznigglets. Bitchin'.
Siege would have been much better without Sentry.
Just picked up JLA/Avengers from 2002-2003. Can't wait to read. :)

Meh, Annihilation > all other Marvel/DC events. I loved it.
Also, f**k yes Thanos Imperative. I've loved Thanos since the SS TAS. :3
Also kinda hyped for Shadowland, but it's a bit out there for DD.
Annihilation was great, as was Conquest and War of Kings. I basically was more meaning the whole House of M/Civil War/Secret Invasion/Dark Reign/Siege progression.
Also, Thanos in SS TAS? But his voice actor sucked so badly. He should have been voiced by Jim Cummings, or maybe Paul Eiding. He was the worst part of that show IMO for that reason.
Has anyone here read this and know if it is good?

Sentry does suck but, he's better then Superman. The Void persona is badass though.
Read New Avengers and Secret Avengers today. :D

Looks as if its a UK reprint of the Hush storyline by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee. If such is the case, then yes, its quite good.
Jim Lee does my all time favorite comic book art.

Fine, here's my list of favourite Marvel heroes, Batman is DC's only good character so they can't have a list.
1) Deadpool
2) Cable
3) Spider-Man
4) Iron Man
5) War Machine
6) Hulk
7) Captain America
8] Thor
9) Wolverine

I pretty much hate DC, Watchmen was awesome but I only really liked Rorschach's character.
What even batman.
I mentioned in my post before that, that Batman and some of his foes were DC's only good character/s, along with Rorschach.
Oh yer but good and like are two different things.
Now that I think about it not that many (non batman) DC characters are that well known or popular unless you are a avid fan or are in the know.
I prefer Marvel anyway, I just love the characters.

Judge for yourself.
I must admitt that while I love Superman and Batman, I'm not reading any of DC"s newst books, just cause I'm so far behind on events that happened before. Still I do plan on getting the new Batman Beyond Miniseries thats coming out.

No, Deadpool. I worked at a comic shop for a long time. I don't get my characters confused. Obviously, its a DC book, so its not his literal origins, but the figurative origins of how the character came about, and was seen as a viable character to introduce, its all in there.

That issue? 'Cause I know they created Deadpool as like a homage to Deathstroke, but more crazy.
No. Justice League International was the first time in comics where it was ok for a character who would otherwise be treated seriously (such as a hideously-scarred mercenary) and treat him with a sense of humor. JLI essentially turned the entire concept of the Justice League on its ear. No Superman, no Wonder Woman, and after a while even Batman got fed up and left. Just a bunch of screwups trying to do something right with the world. And, you know, buying the occasional private island. That turns out to be sentient.
Does anybody know when the new Secret Avengers comes out?

They turned him into a boring mutant hating merc with a skull face.
I'd rather that than a rehash to be honest.
So, Civil War, was it any good?
It's always lived in the shadow of Annihilation for me. It came right after it, if memory serves, and just wasn't as good.
I haven't ever heard of Annihilation, what was that about?
Annihilus starts shit on the Marvel Cosmicverse. Nova gets an upgrade and fights back with the help of a bunch of other underused Marvel characters.
But the main reason I loved it is these two:

Doesn't get much better than Big G and Norrin Radd.
Awesome. :)
Hey, remember the fight against Galactus in Ultimate Alliance? That was fun, I liked the running away part, you had to think quick and keep ahead as he smashes and shoots his way toward you. :D
That's exactly the part I'm on now. :D
Silver Surfer, Cap, Doom and Magneto ruin everyone's day.
The DLC is all gone now, I can't get the new characters for M:UA2. I really wanted to have Deadpool and Cable kicking ass on the same team. :( I have the hero pack for M:UA 1 but not the Villain, and now I can't get them. >:( :'(
My friend has the same problem. Sucks because now we can't play together online.
Apparantly it was taken down because Marvel and Activision's contract expired or something.
More likely Activision just didn't want to keep shelling out for hosting fees.
Maybe, I really hope they release a M:UA2 Gold Edition, though, with all the DLC characters.
That won't happen. The game didn't do as well as planned.

I've started reading my Astonishing X-Men Omnibus and I have to say this is some of best X-Men I've read in a long time. Before X-Men: The Last Stand came out, this introduced the concept of the Mutant Cure and how it can help Mutants.
Definitely worth checking out! :)

I think Marvel are finally going to have him snap and become a bad guy. It's been a long time coming to be honest, and I'm kinda down with it if that's the direction they take.
With all the bad hands the guys been dealt in his life, it's high time he started dealing them back.

Yup yup.
I gotta go give that a read sometime.
One of the best covers of all time.
If you want primo Ghost Rider, any story written by Howard Mackie or Jason Aaron is your best bet.
I do love Road to Damnation. Blaze has such a rough time in that.
I have just finished reading every single issue of Green Lantern between Rebirth and Blackest Night, and it is great. I wasn't a big fan of Guy Gardner before reading this, but that guy is awesome. Thanks to Geoff Johns, Green Lantern has quickly become my favorite superhero of all time. :)
Geoff Johns is the ultimate fun comics writer.
I'm very conflicted about the Daredevil thing. I understand it, and it makes dramatic sense for the character. However, I'm totally done with dark and gritty in my comics. Matter of fact, I was done with it a long time ago. When I'm reading a comic, I want to be entertained.
I'm the reverse. I love me some dark, gritty, depressing comics. I rarely find myself reading 'pure entertainment' titles, but I do still like them. I just find it harder to get invested in the characters with stuff like Nova, GL, Supes etc as opposed to stuff like Punisher Max and DD.
Picked up the new Predators Comic. The art wasn't all too great. The people that worked on it were creators I never heard of an I've been reading comics for a long time too.

Love the artwork. It looks absolutely amazing and the colours used create a real cold atmosphere. I wonder if the Black Super Predator who apparently has red eyes has eye ports that resemble that guys above.
Has anyone here read All Star Superman by the way? I was thinking of getting the Absolute Edition in October, but I'm not really sure yet. I don't really like the cartoony way in which it is drawn, but it seems to be well written. Superman is just like I want him, a man who is great, not because of his powers, but because he cares about other people. Like this scene for example.

I read Vol 1 of All Star-Superman. I actually enjoyed it. It's much better than the train wreck that is All-Star Batman and Robin. I am not really a big Superman fan but they make him likable. Vol.1 deals with an internal issue that Superman is facing, and it makes the storytelling great. :)

I was thinking of picking that up a couple of months ago, but it never happend. Does the Omnibus deal with some kind of origin story or does it just dive right in to an ongoing series?
Watched Justice League: The New Frontier the other day and it was pretty nice. I liked the setting and the whole feel of it. It's always nice with some classic heroes. :)
I've only got two issues into it, but they present an origin in a subtle way with the use of flashbacks.

I wish they'd just churn omni's out like DC does with Absolutes. I do like how they've given DD plenty of omnis though. No complaints there.

I have never read any of these comics before, but Mask just looked to cool to pass and The Demon hooked me with his small cameo in Blackest Night.
The Demon is a stone cold badass.

He's at the beginning of Macfarlane's Spider-Man run. Pretty cool little series.
Any one here read the runaways series? Great stuff.
I just read through the first paperback collection of The Man of Steel. This truly is the best run of Superman so far, though I have yet to read Birthright. It looks every bit as great as I remembered it from my childhood and the stories are great. This was also the comic which have had the best Kryptonian design so far. I love it and nothing else has come close so far.
I can't wait to read the rest of this really great series. :)

It says on Amazon that it's from 1996, so I guess it's the old comics. :)

Good to know. :)
How good was the omnibus? Was it worth it's price?
I overall enjoyed it, but it tends to be a little confusing because they're throwing around all these ancient/Asian names of places and people and it could tend to be a little confusing to the reader, at least in my experience. But I found to be good fun. Reminded me a little of the Phantom interms of the origin and another "Iron Fist" that is present in the book.

Went to the comic shop the other day and picked up Heroic Age Avengers 1 & 2 by Bendis and loved it. Clint is wearing the Hawkeye costume again and John Romita Jr. has some stellar artwork.

Avengers isn't a title that I pick up on a monthly basis but this intrigued me. It's fun with some good artwork. Steve Rogers isn't Captain America anymore, he has a SHIELD type role and he's responsible for putting the Avengers back together. I think it's a lot better than the Seige mini itself.
So far the roster is ...
Steve Rogers
Iron Man
Captain America (Bucky Barnes)
Thor
Wolverine
Spider-Woman
Spider-Man
Hawkeye

I always feel dirty saying this, because when Bendis writes DD, he's my fav writer...But frankly, most of his stuff is average. He writes crime comics as good as any, and his USM stuff is fun as hell. But the rest? Meh. I think it's mainly because he doesn't take to writing fantasy and sci-fi as well as other writers. He sorta makes magic and so on feel bland. A comic set in the dark end of an alley? Sure, he's the master of that...Having him do a stint on the Avengers with Kang and so on just seems like using a writer badly.
But as I said, his DD is top notch and because of it I forever worship at his throne.
Is anyone reading Ultimate Comics: Ultimate Avengers? Or whatever the hell it's called.

Spoiler
Kinda similar. He's still Johnny Blaze. Here's a rough recap of his origins:
Johnny Blaze and Roxanne are biking around America when they stop a this bar. Johnny is taken by some dudes there who sacrifice him to Satan. In return for the sacrifice they become rich and powerful. However Satan offers Johnny a chance for revenge, saying that Johnny can have vengeance and Roxanne will live a good life if he becomes the Ghost Rider - who is Satans bounty hunter.
His powers from what I can tell are the same, and he's 8ft tall and described as being as tough as Thor.
Motherf**kers barely changed anything, god damn it.
Yeah I was hoping for something better. I thought they'd make him something more supernatural and less human, i.e no Johnny Blaze..Just Zarathos, and he's more or less a 'terminatorish' individual that kills fools who mess with Satan.
Ultimate usually changes everything or changes nothing
I barely figured that out when people on this forum were talking about Ultimate Deadpool.
Should've figured it out much sooner than that since I have seen characters that are no different than their 616 universe counterparts, but I guess I really want to believe that The Ultimate Universe isn't a HUGE waste, despite my hatred for it.
So, I'm a Spider-Man fan I just haven't actually read many comics. Anyone know a good place to start, if you provide links preferably can they be from websites in the UK? I've checked the Forbidden Planet UK website, and there are hundreds of books, I just dunno where to start.
If you haven't read any, just read Ultimate Spider-Man. Same dude, more accessible universe.

I've read some of the Marvel Knights stuff, but I prefer regular Spidey to Ultimate Spidey, I don't like how they handled Venom or Green Goblin. I found a collected edition of Venom's Origin and another of the Maximum Carnage storyline. I might get those, but I was just wondering if there is a better place to start?
You should definitely check out Kraven's Last Hunt.

Reminds me of what Marvel did with "ultimate". Wonder Woman's outfit is a cultural icon, subtle changes are ok, but completely rebooting the character? Lame.
Anyway, I've just finished reading my very first Batman comic book "Ten Nights of The Beast" (well, actually it's also my first DC comic book) and I rather enjoyed it. Need more.
Perfect. All superheroes these days must something to bitch and moan about. Now Wonder Woman does too.
We all know who's (or what's) to blame.
Spoiler
Emo.
Was that a spoiler?
It's there for the dramatic effect. Spoiler or not, your reaction gives credit to my accusation.
It does...?
I thought your accusation was bleeding obvious.
I know of one shiny example of a comic book movie which is all the proof we need to blame emo for this scourge.
That movie would be Spider-Man 3.
Just the third one?
Wasn't the first all about 'Woe is me with the great power and responsibility!' as well?
Aren't most super hero flicks like that these days (except Iron Man. And maybe Fantastic 4).
QuoteWasn't the first all about 'Woe is me with the great power and responsibility!' as well?
It belongs to the character of Peter Parker, the third movie has simply overdone it.
What would X-Men be without the problematic relationships, puberty "syndrome", teen angst, subtle nods to real life racism, etc.?
A dumb action sci-fi flick without any message or emotions whatsoever.
Emotions are needed, what we don't need are
EMOtions.
If this post doesn't make sense, I apologize, too much posting today. :D
X-Men had a good excuse for the angst, but I don't really recall them overdoing it. Like Hulk, or Spider-Man or Dare-Devil, or Batman etc.
One of the reasons I loved Iron Man was because Tony Stark was all "How f**ken awesome am I?"
QuoteOne of the reasons I loved Iron Man was because Tony Stark was all "How f**ken awesome am I?"
So, so true. When first watching IM, I fell in love with Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark instantly.
But don't forget - even Stark has his Demon in a Bottle.
I dunno I haven't seen the second one yet, but the first one was sweet as.
Neither have I.
Demon in a Bottle is a story arc from the comic books in which Stark has to face his alcoholism.
I decided against the 400 page Spider-Man Omnibus for now, I'd rather know what the art is like beforehand.
Also, I just finished reading 'Deadpool Volume 3: X Marks the Spot' during which Deadpool decides to become a pirate, and then a hero. Lots of laughs, Way's Deadpool also seems to become slightly more serious.

The Hulk is forced against his will to become a monster.
Spider-Man never knew his parents, and his uncle that raised him was killed due to Spider-Man's lack of responsibility.
Daredevil CAN'T SEE, was abandoned by his mother, grew up incredibly poor and had his father killed leaving him to grow up alone.
And as for Batman...Both his parents were shot dead right in front of his eyes. Pretty much the worst thing that can happen to a child.

-____________________________________________________________-
All good points Aeus, being a superhero is actually a very painful, dangerous path. I guess every single one of us fantasized about being a superhero (admit it ;)), but really - would it be worth it?
Would anyone want to not have a normal life and have the will (and guts) to help a fellow man at the risk of one's own peril? Superheroes don't exist and it's not just because Adamantium and Kryptonite do not exist - not even fairly realistic vigilantes like Batman exist, why? Cause nobody's that ridiculously selfless.
I think most people are just like "Oh I'd love to have his powers! It's be so much fun!" (well except for Dardevil's), but the powers aren't what make the character, and usually they sure as hell come at a cost or the character who gets them has/had a rough f**king time.
Agreed, superpowers are often their bearer's greatest curse.
Look at X-Men - a lot of them hate what they are, because it prevents them from leading a normal life.
I read Deadpool: Suicide Kings the other day, that was fun. Deadpool is framed as a murderer of innocent bystanders when a building he's in is blown up, the Punisher comes and tries to take him down, and Daredevil tries to clear Deadpool's name, and there's also an amusing argument between Deadpool and Spider-Man. :D
Definately worth a read, and it's not written by Daniel Way either. ;)
I've always wanted to read that. Is there any reference to the Joe Kelly DD/DP team up?
Nope, but they're familiar with eachother. DD's initial intoduction is quite funny, though.
I buy anything Predator related.. and I will look through my ones I had when I was younger.. but thats about as far as I go.

Punisher has cut of Deadpool's arm, and when all hope is lost and Punisher is about to lay the 'finishing' blow on 'Pool, Punisher is hit by Daredevil's billy club thingy and Punisher is K.O'd. Daredevil is backlit by the moonlight as he perches on the window and Deadpool says "Go on, say it, you know you want to." To which Daredevil replies "I thought you could use a hand."
;D
Haha, that's awesome.
Indeed it is, and by the way, the art in your signature is amazing. Who drew it?
I thought it was a real picture cartoonised :-[
I'm very tempted to get The Birth of Venom book, it is a collection starting with Spider-Man's first encounter with the Black suit on Battleworld, up to when he first defeats Venom. Only £14.80, wondering if it's worth it?

Indeed it is, and by the way, the art in your signature is amazing. Who drew it?
Alex Ross.

Definite buy, I checked it out at my public library and would buy it if I ever get the chance.
Take a look at Mark Millar's new comic, Superior.

"Superior is in a lot of ways is the project I've wanted to write my entire life. It's everything I love about those big bombastic kind of Superman/Captain Marvel heroes," Millar said. "It's got a lot of heart as well as the usual insane amount of violence. What I suppose I've done here really is kind of Marvelize Superman."
I'll be checking this out for sure. :)
Superman if he was made in the Marvel universe? I hate to break it to Millar, but Sentry has already been introduced.

Picked up the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac collection. Nothing weirder than realizing you have the same posters on the wall as Nny. :o
I read mostly Batman,Superman,Ultimate Spiderman,Aliens,Predator,AvP,War of the Worlds,Iron Man,Godzilla,and alot of graphic novels
Marvel has confirmed that there's going to be a new Man Without Fear after Shadowland ends. They've hinted at Kraven, Black Panther, Gambit and Nova (Yes, Nova. The guy who stopped the Annihilation Wave by ripping Annihilus' guts out of his mouth. The guy who is way too f**king powerful to even be challenged by street level crime).
f**k. No.
I'm not really sure what Marvel's doing. I get that they want to turn Matt into a bad guy (they're hammering that 'the birth of the Marvel Universes greatest villain' thing pretty hard), but why have some random character take up the mantle? If anyones going to take up the mantle though, it should be Iron Fist. Danny's done it before, and it would make sense. Nova? f**k no.
Also, Shadowland 1 more or less confirms Bullseye's going to bite it. And for Diggle it doesn't really seem that top notch.
Just when I thought Marvel was hinting at getting their shit together...

Who's Kraven these days? The original one is still dead, isn't he?
I don't think so. I may not be reading, but from what I understand, he is back from the dead.
Has anyone read this? It looks interesting and the art is nice, but how's the story?

He was brought back from the dead in a mystical ceremony thing, and he's actually pissed about it. The story wasn't as bad as you'd think, but it wasn't great either.

Seems like Chole Sullivan from Smallville is going to be introduced in the comics.
"After a long wait Chloe Sullivan will be officially introduced into the comic. It was officially announced at Comic Con today. There were hints for that and DC Comics bought the rights for the character but they didn't really use her in the past. She will be featured in the Action Comics. It's in the Jimmy Olsen co-feature."

Yeah. I don't want to get in trouble, but it's going to be someone that you wouldn't think would get their hands on this costume. It's going to be really interesting.f**k YOU

I love grimdark when its over the top tongue in cheek.
I don't like grimdark when its an honest attempt to make a character... dark.
Its exactly why i love 40k so much.
Its the grimmest, darkest, silliest universe ever.
I was thinking of reading some of Marvel's cosmic comics (or whatever they are called). Could someone help me out a little? I have already ordered Nova Volume 1 (Collects Nova #1-12 and Nova Annual #1) and Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter. What else should I read? I'm already quite familiar with the Inhumans though.
Annihilation sort of brings you up to speed as it goes on. Read that.
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Edit: Just read a couple of Punisher issues. The stuff he did with his stolen Ant-Man tech was pretty brutal. ;D

I second this comment.
I already have. I prefer the "normal" Punisher. Why? Because it's much more fun when he's interacting with the rest of the Marvel Universe and not just normal people.

Does not compute.
I found that MAX took itself too seriously at times.
Though it was awesome.
It's pretty much the only way to do the Punisher in my eyes.
I have been reading Haunt, so far it's great. It has that dark classic superhero feel to it, and I can't wait to get more issues of it soon.

The artwork, and I thought he would be dead but it looks like he has cameback nine years later. It seem like Carnage was the only Marvel villain next to Abraxas to be dead for the longest until now.

I say that no one should. (referring to the spoiler tag)
Likewise. It's just stupid Marvel 'change the status quo' bullshit.
Just keep Matt as DD, and keep him as a bad guy for a year or two. Marvel needs more bad guy comics.
I agree.
What exactly turned Matt Murdock into a bad guy?
I think Bullseye killed a bunch of people, and Matt just couldn't take that shit no more.

Bullseye tried to kill him, but ended up blowing up a tenement full of about a hundred and fifty innocent people. But to be honest, his entire shitty life has been leading to this moment, it was a logical step.
Quote from: ShadowPred on Aug 02, 2010, 08:32:08 PM
I think Bullseye killed a bunch of people, and Matt just couldn't take that shit no more.
This concept seems so cool. A hero turning bad.
I dunno if he's gone fully bad yet though. Shadowland 1 he beats the shit out of Bullseye, breaks both of his arms and then kills him in cold blood (Elektra style, which was nice). However in the recent Shadowland 2 preview Cage comments on how Matt seemed pretty shocked at himself, and that's why he ran off back to Shadowland after killing him. So I dunno.
I'm just waiting for the shadowland issue with Moonknight vs Ghost Rider.
That's what a promo pic showed, and I'm expecting nothing less!
Hate to burst your bubble but I'm fairly sure I read an interview where the writer said Moon Knight doesn't actually appear.
Edit: Yeah here it is:
QuoteNrama: Now, one question we have, considering Clayton's teaser image of Ghost Rider versus Moon Knight -- we know Marc Spector will have his own Shadowland miniseries, but will we see any of the fallout between Khonshu's Enforcer and the Spirit of Vengeance in your series?
Williams: There's no Moon Knight in our story, but there are a few major players from Shadowland, and a major plot thread from Andy Diggle and Antony Johnston's Daredevil series runs through our tale too. If you've been reading Daredevil you're going to want to pick this up. Something happens that not only ties up a Daredevil plot thread but also threatens to seriously mess up Matt Murdock's day. (As though that man needs his days to get messier...)

Torment plunges Spider-Man into the darkness within us all as he hunts the Lizard through the streets and sewars of New York City, trying to put an end to the bloodthirsty, homicidal rampage left in his wake. But what is driving the Lizard? Is it an answer that Spider-Man is prepared to face? Or will it be so shocking that it will make even the most courageous hero question his sanity?

Looking for some help here with a Daredevil story I read many years ago. It was about a serial killer who went around and murdered people because he saw them as sick and impure, full of diseases. I remember him killing a blond girl on the street and I think he tried to use gas or poison to take out a house full of people in the end.
Does anyone know what issue that might have been? Can it be found in any of the paperback or hardcover editions?

Don't bother. Starts out incredibly strong, but soon becomes so weak. What was an incredibly involving look at the Wolverine character just degrades into mindless, and somewhat comical stereotypical 'wolverines a slaughtering badass!' nonsense.
Not before the last issue it doesn't. And then he have a pretty good reason to go berzerk.
Does anyone know if Millar was inspired by Unforgiven when he wrote this. Because it feels very much like that movie.

Ahem...rant time.
I'd say it gets weak two to three issues before the end. Millar completely drops the philosophy that he builds up over the course of the earlier issues. Why? Sure he was sick during the writing period, and Marvel f**ked up deadlines and so on, but frankly it's because I think a) he didn't know how to end it or b) he didn't have the stones to go with the logical conclusion.
Where OML shines is where it dissects the whole "I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do isn't very nice" element of the Wolverine character and shows us where that could lead. Logan's always been a man who's incredibly good at killing people, probably the best at it, but that's always been something he's hated himself for, that he's been ashamed of. Millar seems to understand this, wonderfully explaining Logan's pacifism through the flashback of his killing skills costing him everything.
But what does Millar do with this?
NOTHING.
He creates a man who hates his violent nature,
who hates himself more than he could any villain and then just reverts him to a bunch of awesome Wolverine badass montage kill shots of Logan slicing and dicing baddies even though it contradicts the philosophy that was built prior. It's like an intelligent writer started something great, died, and then had his work finished by some moron.
Frankly, it really pissed me off. Here we have what could've been one of the most AWESOMEMEST comics ever, with a premise I never thought Millar would live up to...But wait? I'm two issues in, and he is! Three issues? Still awesome! etc, etc...But alas, it all goes downhill and its never sat well with me. As you can probably tell.

Nothing wrong with a good rant. ;)
Just curious though. How would you like to see it ended?
Well the last half would need an overhaul. I'd say remove the confrontations with Red Skull, Hulk and so on, they're unnecessary. Sure they bring some form of vengeance but as I said earlier, Logan hates himself more than he hates them. I'd have something that explores his pacifism more, with events that test it but don't break it. Start and end the book with pacifist Logan, and gives us more post-apocalyptic Marvel world. That thing was a pretty much a character.
I'd love to see a smart filmmaker play with this. Have one part Hugh Jackman, one part the guy who directed The Road. I'd sure as hell see it.

No.
She looks too Goth.
It's just boring. If you're going to change an iconic costume, at least make it interesting.

I agree.
f**k that suit, just cus someone can draw it to look awesome, don't mean it's a good costume. Stupid f**king bullshit that they did with her. Origin doesn;t exist anymore, oh, and her new origin and old origin exist on the same timeline.
f**k you, DC.
I despise it.
I'm not trying to justify it here, but I think I would prefer the costume change if she didn't have that Jacket on, it's just horrible. Also, if they kept her origin. A damn costume change, doesn't require a character's entire origin story to be retconned.
Should've just focused more on the greek warrior thing.
Give her more armor and stuff.
Also Bruce is getting a "new" costume.

f**k yeah yellow oval.
Finally!
I can't remember a time where batman looked so good.
Dick is staying on as batman though.
Apparently Brucebats is getting his own series called Batman: The dark knight or something.
Two batmen.
I don't see the point in having two Batmen.
Bruce and Dick are very very different.
Dick is staying on Batman & Robin with Damian (he might also be staying on Batman and will probably be staying on the current JLA roster). Bruce is going to be in two new titles, Batman: The Dark Knight and Batman Inc. Not sure what other ongoings Brucebats will be starring in.
The costume update isn't really as much a new costume as it is a way to tell them apart.
Well I think that having Grayson stay on as Batman is a good thing. I just can't figure out any reason for Bruce to be batman as well, if Dick is already going to stay as Batman.

The Walking Dead is an amazing graphic novel. Personally I think the first volume is the best due to the illustration. DMZ is very good too. Watchmen is an excellent graphic novel. I like Batman but he exist in the same world that Superman and The Flash live in so he doesn't really need to be there you know. If Superman wasn't a pussy and released his true potential he could just kill his enemies and move on and help other cities.

This might be old news for some of you, but I just found out that there will be a new series this October focusing on Ultimate Thor. It's simply called Ultimate Comics: Thor and will run for four issues. It's being written by Jonathan Hickman and the art is done by Carlos Pacheco.
http://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/news/251/sdcc-ultimate-comics-thor-by-hickman-and-pacheco
The series will focus on the origin of the Ultimate Universe Thor and takes place before the first volume of The Ultimates by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch.
I'm really looking forward to this, as I am a big fan of Ultimate Thor. ;D
Here's the cover art for the first issue and some concept art.

Not Comic books, but i do read graphic novels & Manga. One which i am currently reading is
BerserkQuoteBerserk (ベルセルク, Beruseruku?) is a dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura. Miura premiered a prototype of Berserk in 1988. The first volume of the manga was published on November 26, 1990 by Hakusensha in its Jets Comics collection. After three more volumes were published, Berserk was serialized in Young Animal in 1992 and the production was ended. The series was adapted into a twenty-five episode anime series, Kenpū Denki Berserk (ベルセルク剣風伝奇, Beruseruku Kenpū Denki?), by Oriental Light and Magic. It debuted in Japan on October 7, 1997, on Nippon Television; the final episode aired on March 31, 1998. It covered the first arc: Golden Age. Two video games were also created for the series: an action adventure for the Dreamcast and another for the PlayStation.
Berserk's setting is inspired by medieval Europe. It centers around the life of Guts, an orphaned mercenary warrior, and Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the Band of the Hawk (鷹の団, Taka no Dan?). As he ages, Guts changes from a solitary boy into a man who realizes the value of camaraderie. The story contains elements of both fantasy and horror, as it explores both the best and worst of human nature. Both the manga and anime are noted for their heavy violence.

My rating would be 7/10. It's the same style as in the first two volumes of the Ultimates, which I loved.

It doesn't look great.
Its lazy and awkward looking.
Quote from: Huol on Aug 19, 2010, 02:27:38 PMHe also traces other peoples art.
Well, that makes him seem like a asshole actually. :(
Still, it looked great in the book, that's what matter to me.
I dont know how you can enjoy this especially knowing theres no skill or creativity involved, and with much much better artists out there.
Quote from: Huol on Aug 19, 2010, 02:33:23 PMI dont know how you can enjoy this especially knowing theres no skill or creativity involved, and with much much better artists out there.
Because I didn't know this when I first read it. Now that I do, I still stand by my first impression. :P
Yes, there are better artists out there (like Alex Ross, my favorite). Doesn't mean I can't enjoy this as well.
Yeah I don't read comics but if he traces whats the point of him being a artist? There is obviously better people out there.
it's not that much worse than someone painting something from a model rather than from their head, Alex Ross gets people to pose for everything he does.
But copying another persons drawing! that is like that artist doing it, so he is basically a middle man, a un needed middle man.

Thats very different.
Alex Ross gets people to model so he can see exactly how the human body would look in those poses. He doesn't trace he uses references.
Greg Land traces other peoples art and stills from pornos because hes a lazy hack.

and Greg Land copies photos for the same purpose, the only difference is he doesn't get friends or whatever to pose for him. it's lazy yes, but you can't deny that it looks good. most of the time (obvious porn poses being the exception)
No no no.
He doesn't just copy photos.
He traces them.
meaning he draws over the linework of other artists.
And it never looks good.
Its always obvious and always looks awkward as hell.
It looks like what it is, a bunch of photos and art from different sources shoved into a panel together
Alex Ross doesn't trace he uses a reference, his own reference. That's fine because not only does he commission people to pose for him he fits it all into the panel correctly, has some awesome colouring and it all works together.

The only thing so far that looked
really awkward to me was this:

I've only seen his art in Ultimate Power (as far as I can remember), but there weren't anything in there that really stood out as bad. I can imagine I would see things quite different if I actually recognized some of the pictures he stole from magazines and other artists, but I haven't so far.
Really?
The faces in particular always look really obviously traced to me.
Its just a bunch of people from different magazines that Land drew over.
And its really obvious. They don't fit in with the action going on in the panel.

Honestly I've never seen anyone defend Greg Land. Its alien.
Hey, I'm not defending him, I just didn't think his tracing (if that's the correct term) looked that obvious. It's a different thing seeing it like on those pictures you posted.
What a f**king hack.
Could someone here help me identify a Spider-Man character?
I think this guy helped Spider-Man fight Electro once. His suit covered his whole body and face and looked a little like the TRON guy, with blue and white colours. He used a metal staff to fight with.
Any idea who this guy might be?
Greg Land?!
Yet another name on the list of assholes that shame me in drawing.
The only way I can even remotely "defend" him, is to say, "At least he does a better job than Rob Liefeld, when he plagiarizes."
I can understand when people flat out copy some images, just as references, or if you can even call it, "references", but this is truly some of the most nightmarish stuff I've seen.
Any others that I need to look out for, Huol?
David Mack.
I don't really read comics unless its Predator or AVP, I am more into Manga...
I got these two in the mail today. I really need to catch up with the regular FF, I've only been reading the Ultimate version so far.

Anyone else around here reading Fantastic Four?
i like the FF generally, but i've only read some UFF and FF: First Family.
i really enjoy seeing them in crossovers etc, but i wouldn't know where to begin in terms of reading modern FF, also they have a rich backstory that i don't think i have the energy to read up on.

I think most of them have already been released in paperback as well. :)
Excellent choices by the way, Marvel Zombies is fun as hell. ;D

Greg Land is pretty bad, but no where as bad as Nick Simmons. I rather read his Ultimate Marvel comics then Nick Simmons rip off of Bleach.
Didn't Nick Simmons stop when the was found out though?
Just baught the entire collection of Akira comic books. All I gotta say is, dam! ;D

Those are the olds ones, but I was able to pickup 1-7 collection editions which are more slim and come in color this time. It's the back story of the Akira movie, read the first 80 pages and it's very impressive.

I just read Magneto: Testament and while the story was good, it seemed kind of pointless. Apart from one short scene, this story could have been about any Holocaust survivor. I wasn't expecting any epic action scenes or anything, but they could have made a better job of making him stand out. :-\

What did you expect, it's written by Greg Pak.
I looked him up on Wikipedia, and I haven't really read any of his work before. :P
I think Planet Hulk & World War Hulk is the only thing I've read from him.
I am so sorry.
Do you think he's a bad writer? Because Magneto is one of the few graphic novels I've seen get full rating from pretty much every reviewer on Amazon.
WWH sucks balls.
I like WWH, even though I did not like the ending. Did anyone read X-Men: Second Coming yet?

Posted this a while ago in the Superman Reboot thread. It's a pretty cool design.
I am totally supportive of that design.
i recently read Kingdom Come, and moved onto read the Thy Kingdom Come arc of the JSA series, and am quite enjoying it as a comic if not as a sequel to Kingdom Come, does anyone recommend carrying on and reading more of the JSA series?
When I couldn't find a subject on this I decided to make one myself.Graphic Novels are one of my favorite mediums.You get the story telling of comics but in the lenth of a,well,novel :) While alot are just comic compilations,some are completely original.My personal favorites are Azzerellos "Joker",Milllars "The Dark Knight Returns","Batman Year One",and "300".Post your thoughts here...
We have a comic book thread.
Marvel is releasing an updated take on Thor's origins, which might be a prequel to the movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CctyLAJnvlo
Below is Marvel's official press release:
"Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Thor: First Thunder #1, from the red-hot creative team of Harvey Award Winning writer, Bryan J. Glass and Eisner Award winning artist Tan Eng Huat! Get a look at Thor's historic origin like never before as Glass and Huat bring to light untold revelations of his past that will have everyone talking. Why was Thor cast out of Asgard? And what happened when the fallen Odinson first met Captain America and Iron Man? Find out the answers to these questions and more this September in Thor: First Thunder #1!"
I have been told, by industry insiders, that this is a prequel to Kenneth Branagh's 'Thor', hitting theaters May 6th 2011. My source could be wrong as Marvel's official press release says nothing about that at all. Or it could be that Marvel is keeping the prequel bit under wraps untill we get closer to May 6th of next year? Or it could not be related at all in any way shape or form! You be the judge.

Just read issue 2 of 30 days of night X-files, and then i just started on stephan kings the stand. Local Comic shop has a sweet deal on both graphic novels and comics. Buy one get one of equal or lesser price. Sweet!
Any other Image Comic readers on this site?
Have you seen The Walking Dead thread?
There are plenty of Image readers.
I know. But does anyone read any other comics from Image Comics like Haunt, Savage Dragon, The Darkness/Witchblade, Cyberforce, Supreme, and Invincible?
The Darkness and Witchblade are IMAGE? Aren't they from Top Cow?
Ive stopped reading comics because Im lazy. I should start reading them again. But when I do read comics I usually only read trade paper back. I can never get to the comic shop in time and I hate missing an issue because them Im lost lol.

Shasvre, have you read Justice by Alex Ross?
Quote from: Aeus on Aug 30, 2010, 09:38:54 PMShasvre, have you read Justice by Alex Ross?
Yes, I read it a while ago. The art was amazing, as always when it comes to Alex Ross, and the story was good as well. I have intended to re-read it again sometime soon, because most of the details are a little fuzzy.
What did you think of it yourself? :)
I love it, as I do everything by Ross. I was just re-reading it today and thought you'd love it because you're a worshipper of Alex Ross like myself. :D
I was also thinking how all his collaborations (or at least the ones I've read) seem like they all fit in this same universe. Not just in the visual sense, but in the portrayal of the characters.
Starting with all the one shots and JLA/character origins he did with Paul Dini, moving on to Justice (vol. 1-3) and ending with Kingdom Come.
Oh and by the way...

amazon or book depository probably. not only are both generally cheaper than forbidden planet, both have free shipping
just checked and i ordered it from book depository, £16.87 with free delivery
although it's gone up to £18.74 since i ordered i'm surprised, that's actually more than FP, but like i said, free shipping makes the difference.

edit: actually it looks like the version that FP has is a US import which is being published a lot (about 2 months) sooner than the Titan UK version, which is what i have preordered, i'm seriously considering cancelling my book depository order and ordering it from FP now,
edit: it won't let me cancel :( oh well, at kleast i found that FP have a copy of justice V2 to match my copies of Justice 1 and 3, nowhere seemed to have it in stock, anywhere! maybe i was too harsh on FP with their flat rate £2 delivery cost.

There's plenty wrong with Mark Millar. He's an egotistical prick, who hates his fan base and can only really succeed at taking established characters and reinventing them.
ennis and ellis are both better than millar imho,
by better i mean more deserving of millars disproportionate success.

Let me try that again. I don't think there's anything wrong with his writing. I don't really care about him as a person, but raising money for children hardly seems like the trademark for a
"egotistical prick" to me.
Besides, Kick-Ass was a sucess and those weren't established characters.
Wanted was pretty good. Off beat but pretty entertaining.

Re-imagines Wade Wilson as 50's soldier who was driven insane by his torturer in a POW camp. All alone with only the two voices in his head to talk to, he eventually escaped and became Deadpool; the embodiment of Wilson's worst fear, his torturer. He's now a Government weapon who's been sent to track down a woman from his past. Although he's completely insane so I doubt it's going to go according to plan. :D
Sounds interesting, I'll remember that one.
Should be a new line of comic books.
Is the Noir series of books an ongoing series? Or was it just a mini-series for the characters that were introduced in the Noir Universe?
They're just minis on each character.

Zorro is certainly inspirational, I'll give him that.
I remember watching Zorro on TV when I was a kid. I think I still have some of the comics that was based on the show. Duncan Regehr was, and will always be, the best Zorro in my opinion. :)

I'm still not sure if it's meant to be a parody or not. Some of it is just too funny, and the whole thing just makes you think 'serious Batman' is a dick.
Waste of money to buy it though, when you could buy a decent Batman story instead...
I took a look at the first issue online and I don't think I'm going to like the rest of it, so I cancelled my order.

Batman: Year One or Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. They're two classics that he didn't have down so I'd strongly suggest them.

There are at least 16 volumes, most likely more than that.
This is going to take a while.
I've been looking for a Wolverine story for some time now and I would appreciate any help I could get from you guys. The story takes place in Japan, where Wolverine is visiting a female friend or girlfriend. He also hangs out in a bar with one of his old buddys, who is a retired assassin (and old man, dressed in a white suit). Later in the story this assassin is hired to kill the father to Wolverines girlfriend and after doing so escapes from Wolverine who is trying to kill him. Wolverine later finds him out in the forest, where he's hiding in a old cabin and is waiting for Wolverine along with some guards equipped with adamantium bullets. Wolverine cuts his way through them and then there's a fight between him and the assassin, which of course Wolverine wins.
That's pretty much all I remember from it. Could anyone point me in the right direction? :-\

I'm going to take a look at it. But I don't think it was drawn in the same style that Miller usually does and don't think it was that old either.

Well I own it.
Its got the most badass Thor costume.

Never read them. Don't think they're written by Gaiman which probably explains why I never bothered.
As for Thor...Big bearded badass viking? Yes please. Also loved 1602 BardDevil, he was awesome. I always thought it went a little crazy towards the end leaving a somewhat sour memory, but this post has made me want to read it again.

So manly he takes downs Darkseid, Galactus, Superboy-Prime, Thanos and the entire Cancerverse with a look.
Oh and the whole Rojhaz revelation made me feel like an idiot.
How did I not notice that before?
Yeah I spent the whole comic going 'who's this guy meant to be? He's important so he's most likely a new take on a character...but who?'...
Then I found out and I kicked myself.

I made this :D, I am sure most of you know this comic better than I do, but oh well. Just thought I would post it here because you guys will either appreciate it more than most or hate it more.
I finally got the chance to read Avengers: Standoff (it's been standing on the shelf for a couple of months now) and it was awesome. The final fight between Thor, Iron Man and Captain America was epic as hell and Thor even managed to make a dent in Cap's shield.

Its Warren Ellis I'm sure its gold.
I love that they got him to write a JLU episode.
Wasn't surprised that it was awesome.
I just read this and it was pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of the art, but the story was decent and the action was epic. Especially the fight at the end between the Hulk and Sentry. Unleashing the power of "a million exploding suns" and still not being able to take down the big green guy. ;D

I also finished All-Star Batman and it was certainly... different. I'm still not sure what to think of it. Some things I really liked and other were completely trash. Still, it's worth getting, because I will definitely want to read it again.

Bleh, I found it to be such a lame duck. The Hulk was such a stereotypical 'vengeful badass' I could pretty much predict everything he was gonna say and do. And I will kill myself if a character ever says 'WARBOUND' again.

I have those as well. Absolutely beautiful books. High recommended! :)
Speaking of deluxe editions, what would you guys say is your most treasured book or issue in your collection?
Mine would be this...

yeah they are very nice :D, it's funny because i bought the first one never having read any hellboy, but it only worked out a couple of pounds more expensive then the first 2 tpbs put together at the time.

Its animal man.
although according to wikipedia the only person that is still a white lantern is deadman but whatever :P
It seems like things will get really interesting in The Walking Dead #80. :)

After reading the new Wolverine #1 written by Jason Aaron. Its not really great. Art was horrible. The only thing to look forward to is he will fight Colossus in issue # 4. Wolverine Origins should never have been ended.

I'm sick of Vampires and Zombies in comics, and movies as well. I hate that Spawn is getting the vampire treatment as well :-\.

Kingdom Come and Justice by Alex Ross. The Nail and Another Nail if you want Elseworlds stories. Then there's Birthright and Secret Identity if you want a more modern story. And of course, Man of Steel from the 90's, which is one of my favorites.
Edit: I forgot about All Star Superman, that one is great as well.

he's barely in The Nail!
Justice has loads of people, but superman is quite major in it,
superman/batman public enemies (recently turned into an animated movie) is apparently pretty good. 4 1/2 stars on amazon good anyway.
It could also be worth checking out Last Son, Brainiac and New Krypton. Pretty much everything Geoff Johns have done with Superman is fun to read.

So's 'For All Seasons' and that's amazing. He did have talent once. :P
So yeah, I'd recommend that. A lot of the other stuff I'd recommend has been mentioned, specifically All Star and Birthright. The two Moore stories are also great.

New Mutants Forever is horrible. I like all his old work with the title an his long run on Uncanny X-Men an such but all the stuff he does now is just all over the place.

A interview with J. Michael Straczynski about Superman: Earth One
I'm looking forward to reading this. I loved Straczynski's work on Thor. :)
Spoiler
Bug and JMS talk SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE!
AMBUSH BUG: Tell me a little bit about the premise behind SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE.
J. Michael Straczynski (JMS): There's this notion, which has really become a kind of accepted cliché, that as soon as you get powers, you put on a superhero (or super-villain) costume and you're off to the races. But logically, there would have to come a moment when you have to decide if you actually want to do that, or if you should do that. It's that moment in the Garden of Gethsemane where you have to decide if you want to endure everything that's going to happen to you if you decide to expose yourself.
Clark comes to Metropolis in his 21st year to decide what he really wants to do. And this is someone who can be anyone, do anything. If he keeps his background secret, as he's done for the preceding 21 years, he can be the best athlete the world has ever known, he could be the next Stephen Hawking, could take away the golf crown from Tiger Woods, create patents that could earn billions. He can finally step out of the shadows and into the light.
By contrast, if he chooses to become Superman, then Clark must live forever in the shadows, dedicated to a life of service and self-sacrifice that could eventually get him killed. That's a hard choice for anybody to make, let alone a 21 year old kid who wants to look after his mom and is lured by the idea of money and success and fame. So the story is about Clark's Gethsemane moment, when he has to finally make that choice, why he makes it, and what follows after.
Against this backdrop, we flash back to his life growing up in Smallville, so we can see how the Kents helped mold him and protect him and get him to a point in his life where he can finally make this most difficult of choices.
BUG: How is your take on the younger years of Superman going to be different than previous takes on his origin?
JMS: This is probably one of the most often told and re-told stories in comics history, so you have to be careful to preserve what's established while trying to find areas where you can bring a fresh approach. But I'll be straight up with you: I'm not here to change his story into something it was never intended to be so that I can "make my mark" on the character. It's about respecting the character and his origins. Especially for me, since Superman has always been my number one icon growing up as a kid. Coming from poor surroundings and circumstances where everybody says "forget this idea of being a writer, guys like you who come from nothing always end up at nothing," Superman was what I held onto, the idea of someone who could do anything. My house is filled with enough original Superman artwork, memorabilia and other stuff to constitute a museum. It's probably one of the biggest Superman collections on the Western Seaboard, not because of the collecting instinct, but because that's how much the character has meant to me over the years.
(True story: I was at Chicago Comic-Con a number of years ago, standing in the dealer's room, when some guy grabbed a bunch of expensive items off a table and made a run for it down the aisle, being chased by the owner of the table. Everybody in the aisle did a fast fade, parting before this guy like the Red Sea. I brought the mofo down and the two of us held him for the police. The con organizer later came up to me and said, "Why'd you do that? He was half your age and twice as big, you could've been hurt." I pointed to where I'd been standing, in front of a ten-foot-tall cutout of Superman. "How could I stand under that, in front of him, and do nothing?" I said.)
So to the point of your question, what I'm trying to do is to dig in to the character and look at him through modern eyes. If you were to create the Superman story today, for the first time, but keep intact all that works, what would it look like? As a fledgling writer I used to love going to see productions of Shakespeare because what would often be done would be to take that original play and move it forward in time. So you could have "Two Gentlemen of Verona" set in pre-WW2 Italy...you could have a female Hamlet...or as was recently produced for film, "Richard III" set in a corollary for Nazi Germany. And suddenly the lens through which you view those stories, those plays, colors and changes how you perceive them without changing anything essential.
Here, of course, we're doing more than that because we're not sticking to a script, but the idea is much the same. So in the case of Superman, you take all those elements that work, and infuse them with a modern sensibility, how it would be written today, this minute, if it had just been created for the first time. If I have any one particular strength as a writer, it's taking someone of massive power and making them relatable, sympathetic and vulnerable while not taking an inch away from that incalculable power.
BUG: Are there aspects of Superman's origin that you purposefully left out for the sake of your story?
JMS: The only substantial thing I'm leaving out is the notion of a Superboy. Here, the first time Clark puts on that uniform, it really is his first time.
In reflecting further on the question of changes, probably one of the most changed characters is Jim Olsen, and the most changed atmosphere is that of the Daily Planet. Having worked as a journalist for nearly ten years, I know what a news room is supposed to feel like, and my one ongoing complaint about comics set in those environments is that you (or I) could tell that the writers had never actually worked for a newspaper.
And in any newspaper, the one guy who is the most dangerous guy to stand next to is the photographer, because they'll go anywhere and do anything to get the shot. I recently saw footage where a press photographer was at one of those races that go through city streets, and a car spun out and came right at him. He kept taking pictures as the back end hit the wall to his right, spun out, and the front hit the wall to his left, barely missing him by inches. He never once stopped snapping photos. A good newspaper reporter keeps shooting no matter the danger, so I'm bringing that aspect into Olsen.
The rest of the staff look, act and talk like actual reporters now, and that's a lot of fun. And when we join our story, the Daily Planet is on the downward slide...it's where new reporters come to learn and old reporters come to die. It's what begins to happen in the aftermath of Superman's appearance that starts to reverse their fortunes.
BUG: How do you deal with the delicate tightrope walk of telling stories that matter vs. not straying so far from the status quo that you don't recognize these iconic characters anymore?
JMS: I think it's a matter of respect and keeping the character first. Again, you don't change things just so you can say "I changed that." You have to ask if it proceeds from character. So for instance, one of the elements of the story is the fact that growing up, Clark would have been even more of an outsider than we've seen previously. Every kid gets in schoolyard fights, but Clark would have had to walk away or just take the punches, because if he slipped for even a second, he could kill the other kid. This would have gotten him a reputation as a coward, a weirdo, and he'd have to hear that every day in the schoolyard...and the one thing you know as a kid is that you don't hang with the cowards or the weirdos. So he would've lived a very solitary, rough, and very controlled life, because even a brief lapse could have disastrous consequences. We see a very real sense of isolation in him, which informs his arrival in Metropolis which represents the first time when he can choose the life he wants, rather than having to endure the life he had to endure.
BUG: How does SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE fit in with current continuity? The name suggests that it could be either part of it or an all new start from square one for the character.
JMS: At this juncture, the book operates outside DC continuity. At some point way, way down the road, some of that may be folded in, but again that's a long ways away.
BUG: It seems there is a pretty even split when it comes to whether someone is a Batman fan or a Superman fan. What is it about the character of Superman that appeals to some but not others?
JMS: I think it's a difference between power fantasies and revenge fantasies, with Superman more the former, and Batman more the latter. Not to belabor the previous point, because we all have our childhood horror stories, but I grew up in the mean streets of Newark and Paterson and some of the poorer parts of other towns. We moved 21 times in my first 17 years. Guys like me didn't become writers, they ended up pumping gas or working in machine shops. It was a dead-end lifestyle filled with no. So on the one hand, there was no one I wanted to get revenge against...I just wanted a chance to be somebody, a chance to learn to fly, and to become someone who couldn't get hurt. So I latched on to Superman at a very early age. I've said it before, and it's true: most of my morality I learned from Superman. One of my very earliest memories is an image from a Max Fleischer Superman cartoon where he has his cape over Lois, protecting her from molten metal. I searched for that image for decades before I found it and it's one of the first things you see when you enter my home...that and a mountain of Alex Ross and Curt Swan artwork, and The Triptych: a sketch of Superman signed by Siegel and Shuster, with an autograph by George Reeves tipped into it.
BUG: Can you tell me a little bit about the art in this one and how you worked with artist Shane Davis?
JMS: Because I tend to write from emotion to action, I live or die by the degree to which the artist is able to express emotion. So when Dan DiDio and I began the process of finding an artist, that skill was number one on the list. As soon as I saw Shane's art, I knew he would be right for this, because he can not only get that degree of expressiveness, but he's also really great on action and composition. There's an insane amount of detail in his work. We had a lot of back-and-forth in terms of character design that led to some really cool stuff.
BUG: How do you respond to criticism you've received for delayed titles that you've penned? Was it easier for you to write in this graphic novel format than the monthly grind?
JMS: Let me dive into this for a second, because this is a sore point with me. I was on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN for over eight years, and with only a couple of small glitches that book came out like clockwork. BULLET POINTS: on time. SILVER SURFER REQUIEM: on time. MIDNIGHT NATION: on time. BRAVE AND THE BOLD: on time. When I took on THE TWELVE, I wanted to do it the same as BP and SSR: let me write it all the way through, get most of the art done, then announce it, because in particular I was concerned that there might be some conflicts in scheduling not just with me but with the artist. But when PROJECT SUPERPOWERS was announced, the powers that be at Marvel decided to go ahead before it was ready, and what I was afraid would happen, happened. He got busy, I got busy, then he got busy again, then I got busy again, and it fell off the grid. (Note: the last scripts will be in by year's end.) With Thor, I'll take the rap for a couple of delays, but Marvel also delayed the book to buy time to find another artist. Between the time I finished the script for the last issue, for instance, and its publication, almost four months went by. I have the timestamp on the file to prove it. That ain't my choice, but I get the rap for it.
With all that being said, for me, it's best to do it then announce it, so there are no delays. So when DC came to me about this project, I felt it was important to again say nothing specific about it until it was nearly done. As I write these words, the script is very close to being finished (we're talking a book of well over a hundred pages), and we've got oodles of art finished.
BUG: The graphic novel format has been a preferred reading experience for a growing number of fans. Trade-waiting is a pretty common term I hear thrown around these days. What do you think; does the release of such a high profile product in a graphic novel format signify the end of the monthly single issues?
JMS: Not at all. It's like saying that the production of movies signifies the end of dramatic series TV. Each serves a different need, and fills a different niche. If there's anything that is signified by trade-waiting, it's that we need to write better stories. If a reader can wait until it's all done to buy it, then we're not doing our jobs right. We should be writing stories that the reader can't wait to buy as soon as the next installment hits the stands, and then at the end, wants to gather together for ease of re-reading. If a reader can wait it out, then we as creators need to re-evaluate our work. Seriously.
BUG: Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.
And let's take a look at what Alfred will look like in Batman: Earth One.

Started reading Preacher. Not as good as Hellblazer, but still very cool nonetheless.

"I have struggled with depression ever since I was ten years old. It had crippled me emotionally. I was 27 years old, no college degree, no job and no will to live. I decided to kill myself after Christmas.
"And then my sister's boyfriend loaned me these comics. Superman is dying of radiation poisoning and is trying to complete all of his tasks before he dies, but he still takes the time to save a young girl who is about to jump off a building.
"I cried for hours after reading this. I identified with that girl so much, and I could almost hear Superman telling me that I'm stronger than I think.
"Now every time my depressesion starts to rear its ugly head, I just repeat his words and imagine him hugging me when I'm standing on the edge. It works better than any medication or therapy I've ever had.
"Now I'm in college and top of my class. I have friends. I have a life. And I don't care that he's a fictional comic book character. He still saved me."
I loved that part of the book and it's amazing what it did for this person. :o

That's some great stuff right there, I loved Blackest Night.
I ordered myself some of
The Man of Steel paperbacks a few days ago. It's still the best Superman origin I have ever read. :)

I'm currently reading the third volume of World's Finest (Superman & Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder), some pretty ridiculous shit that is awesomely hilarious.
I think I'm the only person here that reads Marvel.

Everyone here reads Marvel as well, some of us have just not been in touch with it lately.
I tried.
But then they f**ked up daredevil so I got nothing left.
I have not read any Marvel comics in a while, the last Marvel comic I read was Heroic Age which was okay. Too bad Spider-Man, and Hulk have been done hill for the past few years.
I read Thor and Ultimate Thor. I also read older Marvel comics when I can find them. Right now I'm reading Hobgoblin Lives. :)

ouch
Well, that sucks. :(
Man that is pretty brutal considering how amazing JMS' Thor run was.
While I am a comic fan I tend to pick up alternate world/one shot type books simply because with the long running stories you never really know where to start and a change of writer or artist can quickly derail something you loved.
With a one shot or miniseries you generally get a full story all nicely packaged and worked on by the same people, it is complete.
Which reminds me I need to pick up the new Spiderman Noir book...and maybe Iron Man Noir too.
:D
Theres an iron man noir?!
Quote from: Huol on Oct 21, 2010, 08:56:25 PM
Theres an iron man noir?!
there was a 1602 iron man, why not noir?
Yeah it was released fairly recently if I remember right.
Apparantly the Noir series of books can be pretty hit or miss depending on which ones you get, but I loved the first Spidey Noir and when I first heard about Iron Man Noir I think I giggled like a school girl.
:D
I need to get 1602 aswell.

"JMS for some reason thought it would be a good idea to inject a little Batman-style revenge into Superman's backstory. "
Oh, JMS, what the f**k were you thinking?
EDIT: and can anyone confirm if Dick Greyson is dead, cus I know he got shot, but I'm calling bullshit here.

XMen can be really hit or miss from what little of it I've read.
I found the Ultimate XMen, I borrowed the build up to Ultimatum and the Ultimatum book itself from a friend, to be pretty dire, sure it looked pretty but there were plotholes you could drive a starship through.
With Marvel I've noticed I mainly picked up stuff to do with the gods, JMS' Thor run was great, Incredible Hercules is just so funny in places it's probably one of my favourites, and things like Loki and the Ares alternate world/back story type mini series.
My biggest problems generally come from the "big crossover events" which over the last few years (since I started reading comics in any great numbers) seem to have been terrible. Siege just seemed rediculous and while Civil War had some interesting stuff it was far from well handled.
I've always found the X-men to be rather boring.
There was a time when X-Men was great. Those Claremont days, which are now long gone.
By X-men i mean the team itself.
I love me sum magneto.
Ah, I see. Magento's pretty sweet. :D

Whilst I've never been much of an X-men fan, it's been around for over 60 years. It's bound to have some doozies. Judge it on it's best stuff.
But it'll never be up there with Preacher and Hellblazer.

X-Men has not been around for that long, I believe the comic start around in 1961 or 1962 IIRC? I have not read that much X-Men comics in a while since it seems like Marvel is a hit or miss now these days. I think X-Men was the best around in the 70's or 80's.
I'm more of a Image Comic guy since they have more interesting comics and characters made me catching my interest.
Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men is the best I've read so far.

Isn't Carnage coming back in October as well? I'm looking forward to that. :)

That was unexpected, but it looks fun. :)
Edit: Has anyone read
Superman: Earth One yet? I'm still waiting for my copy, but it's getting great reviews from most places. :)
Edit 2: I just finished
The Marvels Project, by Ed Brubaker, and it was great. It tells the story of some of the early Marvel heroes, like Angel, Human Torch, Namor and Captain America. It reminded me very much of Alex Ross' Marvels. Great story and I really liked the art as well. :)

is the marvels project out in trade yet? when i first heard about it i really wanted it, but forgot about it, until now.
It has been released in hardcover. The paperback version will be released on November 17.
ooh thanks shas *pre orders*
I just ordered Batman: Long Shadows. This is the first I will be reading with Dick Grayson as Batman (apart from some Blackest Night issues) and it looks great. Has anyone here read it? Opinions? :)

I loved Batman up until they killed him off. Then I just got bored an stopped picking it up. :-\
I just read the first volume (six issues) of Batman - The Widening Gyre by Kevin Smith. The story centers around the return of one of Bruce Wayne's old girlfriends, Silver St. Cloud. and the appearance of a new masked crime fighter in Gotham, called Baphomet. The story was pretty good and ended in a thrilling cliffhanger. The art looked nice and Kevin Smith added a nice sense of humor.

Seriously, he was on drugs when he wrote that comic. No joke.
I like the same things you do, and then I like this as well. See, no problem there. :P
Edit: I just read Superman: Earth One and I wasn't impressed. I didn't like this new Clark, he felt very dull and bland. The same thing can be said about the art. The villain was boring and looked stupid as hell. Superman never really felt as a hero to me and the whole thing seemed rushed. Secret Origin was much better than this.

Yeah, you kinda did that backward. Claremont is kind of like Cameron, starts with a great premise and then proceeds to f**k everything over and is
physically incapable of A: finishing a storyline B: writing a male character that is remotely as intelligent as his dumbest female character. Apologist pandering ftl.
Quotewhedon Astonishing
Ummm no. Whedon's sole awesome thing was bringing back Colossus.
The rest is usual snarky banter + completely stupid premise that ends in a literal one second hero-YOSH refutation; it got old on the second season of Buffy, it's sure as hell f**king old ten+ years later.
I don't even know if it was a Claremont book. Started off i some pyramid with Apocalypse wanting to recruit the four horsemen or something. There were constant references to events and characters I'd never heard of, so I got bored and gave up.
I just read Atomic Robo and the Shadow From Beyond Time. Thing was great. Not only was it hilarious, but Carl Sagan had a f**king trans-dimensional lightning gun and saved the universe!

Claremont's older work is gold. It must have been some one else.
I think the only thing of Claremont's I've read was Alien Predator - Deadliest of the Species which was shithouse.
AvP series always end up sucking. Read The Days of Future Past storyline & Dark Phoenix Saga. ;)
Come to think of it I did read some Dark Phoenix stuff not that long ago. There was some dude making Jean think she was back in time and in love with him or something. Then other stuff when she blew up some remote star system.
Was okay but nothing to write home about either. As per my earlier posts I've think I've been spoiled by Alan Moore, Hellblazer and Preacher.
Indeed.

Batman R.I.P. made no sense to me. Was it supposed to? Bruce is going insane and starts wearing a yellow/purple batsuit...typical Morrison acid trip comic.

Being a dedicated listener to Smodcast and Tell 'Em Steve Dave, I was mildly interested in this. I had a flick through one issue and Walt Flanagan's art has improved markedly over his earlier stuff.

Wouldn't have it any other way myself. It makes it seem like a journal entry.
I don't mind handwriting, it's just a little hard to make out the words sometimes.
Ever since the start of Brand New Day in Amazing Spider-Man the quality of the stories have gone down so much its just getting unbearable to read. I tried stomaching them hoping they would get better but it just gets worse. In #646 this whole you aren't the father an you are the father story is horrible. These stories are rushed. (Because they put out 3 (Amazing Spider-Man) dam books a month.) I've been thinking about not picking this book up an wait til they get their heads back in it. Anyone else give up on this title yet?

So I guess he won't admit to being Batman himself, because that would put the spotlight on Dick Grayson's Batman?

finished JLA/JSA The Lightning saga onto Preacher Vol 2
Currently reading all the Doom Patrol archives that have been released so far, also I'm reading Y: The Last Man, just needs 4 more volumes to finish the set and I'm good.
Y is so damn good
still need to read it, i normally have one long/finished series that i read in between more random stuff and unfinished series, perhaps i'll read y after preacher.
Just re-read Cable & Deadpool Volumes 6-8. Lots of fun. ;D

JMS Leaving Superman & Wonder Woman Comics to Focus on Superman: Earth One
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/VoicesFromKrypton/news/?a=25096 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/VoicesFromKrypton/news/?a=25096)
Given the best-selling success of Superman: Earth One, there's no surprise that DC wants a sequel. What is surprising, however, is that writer J. Michael Straczynski has departed his much-publicized runs on the Superman and Wonder Woman monthly titles.
At DC's The Source, co-publisher Dan DiDio offered, "Joe created a Superman for the modern reader – a Clark Kent that's conflicted and inexperienced but also focused and determined to embrace his destiny. We couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out."
"I'd originally come to DC to do the Superman Earth One book which, at the time, was top secret so nobody knew about it," Straczynski said, "and filled out on Brave and the Bold for a while to have fun and get up to speed on the DCU. When I was done with SEO I took on the Superman and Wonder Woman monthlies on the theory that I'd have time to script the full 12 issues before bounding back onto Earth One. But when the huge numbers started coming in on Earth One, and the need to fastrack the next volumes became evident in order to keep the momentum going, I knew there was no way in god's green earth that I could write that and the monthlies simultaneously."
He added that he would be taking a one-to-five year sabbatical from writing monthlies to focus on graphic novels like Superman: Earth One and Samaritan X. Graphic novels, he feels, is the way of the future. "And creatively," says Straczynski, "limited series and graphic novels have always been my strong suit in that they let me tell cohesive stories with a beginning, middle and end. They can also be written and drawn before anything is ever announced or solicited, as was the case with Earth One, which has been one of the greatest and most creatively rewarding experience of my career."
With Superman being revamped for the big screen — and this is purely conjecture — one has to wonder if the success of Superman: Earth One will have any sort of impact on Man of Steel. Not too far-fetched when one keeps in mind rumblings that the film might deal with Clark making the decision to become Superman. The real question is: would Superman: Earth One serve as an interesting relaunching point for the character on the big screen?
I don't understand why anyone would want a sequel to that. It was really boring. :(
Killing off of Spider-Man would be just as bad as killing off of Captain America. It seems like Marvel wants this to be the next "Death of Superman" comic.

He'll come back. They always do.
Just like Captain America, and Al Simmons. They might kill him off, but have him barely dead similar what they did with Superman since Superman was never killed.

Death in the comic world is meaningless.
Got Marvel Zombies 5 HC yesterday,
i originally bought MZ books because of the zombies and the fact the first one was what got be buying comics in the first place, now i only buy them for Machine Man, and so far MZ5 has been rather machine man light, and howard the duck heavy :( oh well, he's pretty funny too.

Little backstory aint bad.
Still waiting for my beta key though
Recently read:
The Dark Knight Strikes - Started out well, had a lot of interesting concept, but got silly before the end and the artwork was largely rubbish. Not a patch on the first one.
Batman Cacophony - Love Kevin Smith's take on the Joker, but overall it was just okay.
Ronin - Miller does Shirow. Got bored about a third of the way in and stopped.
Quote from: SM on Nov 16, 2010, 12:02:57 AMBatman Cacophony - Love Kevin Smith's take on the Joker, but overall it was just okay.
Finally someone who doesn't hate Kevin Smith's Batman with every inch of their body. ;D
What's to hate?
I don't know. It's getting a lot of harsh criticism though.
Who listens to critics?
I think Walt's art was a bit hit and miss, but like the writing it got better the longer the series went (and Smith said as much in the intro). Must get my mitts on Widening Gyre.
I hear Kevin Smith's comic run on Daredevil was okay.
Oh, forgot. Read Miller's Daredevil Born Again thing. All I really know about Daredevil I know from that mediocre film (ie. he's blind, but can still sorta see and is 'the man without fear'). Not a super hero I'd really give a shit about. But that comic was fantastic.
That's one of Frank Miller's best Daredevil (and comic book) stories.
Miller can be very up and down in terms of quality.
That Ronin thing I mentioned seemed extremely derivative of Ghost in the Shell/ Appleseed, and was pretty boring. Sin City is dumb but great fun. Then at the other end you get Daredevil or Dark Knight.
Have you read Batman Year One yet? :)
Not yet.
Hope it's better than DK Strikes.
Its a very good Batman story, one of Miller's best. Check it out! :)
It really is.
The ending to the Thanos Imperative wasn't all that great but it killed two characters thus ending titles such as Gaurdians of The Galaxy an such.

you'd expect him to have some sort of system to cleanse the urine or something, it makes sense for him to pee in the suit if you think about it. he's not going to shout "hey joker, hang on a sec, i gotta go to the john" ::)
Was Kevin Smith's comicbook run on Daredevil any good?

The one where Batman tells the story that he leaked a bit during his first Batman job? BFW. Smith said on one of his podcasts that he thought such criticism was unbelievably trivial.

On another note, I've been reading a lot of Daredevil the last few days. First I red Miller's The Man Without Fear (which I'm pretty sure I've read before) and then I dove right into Brubakers story arc, which is really good. I'm about fifteen issues in and so far I got no complaints. The prison part is definitely my favorite, a lot of interesting stuff going around there.
Big f**king Whoopee.

I was thinking about getting into more GL lately. I'm a casual GL fan, I have read several comics and know the characters, and origins. Where GL comic run should I start off with?
Did you read sinestro corps war, rage of the red lanterns, agent orange and blackest night already?

I started with Rebirth and went from there when I started reading GL.
I read SCW, but not the others. Just asking since I want to read Blackest Night, but I feel like I won't know what is going on. Should I check out Geoff John's entire run on GL?
Yeah.
If you've read sinestro corps war read rage of the red lanterns, then agent orange, then blackest night.
Also you might want to read secret origin if you haven't already.

The whole series is deliciously dark. One of my all time favourites.
Just got a chance to get caught up on all my comics. Read Thanos Imperative - f***ing amazing, although I'm sad that Guardians of the Galaxy is done now as a result. I'll be picking up Heroes for Hire, though, Abnett and Lanning's new book, when it starts.

In that arc...Microchip... :D
Punisher MAX is thee best interpretation of the character IMO.
I didn't think so before, but now that I've read it again, I must agree. I still love the "normal" Punisher though, it's fun to see him taking out supervillians every now and then. :D
I won't touch the Frankencastle storyline though, that looks like shit.
I think the Spider-man: TAS incarnation of the Punisher may be my favourite. The guy cuts weblines with the tail fins of stinger missiles.
Speaking of Spider-Man and the Punisher. ;D

Deadpool: Suicide Kings? Deadpool gets framed for detonating an apartment building full of innocent people and The Punisher tries to hunt him down, Daredevil and Spider-Man are featured in it too as Deadpool tries to find the guy responsible for framing him. It's a good read, also it has one of my favourite comic book covers.

How's the action between Punisher and Deadpool? I might pick it up if there's some good action in it. :)
The fights are kind of brief but there are about three different battles if I remember correctly so it all adds up, it's quite bloody too. ;D

That's all I can find from the end of one battle at the moment and there's no text but the rest of the comic is really good too. :)
Kill em' Frank!

Deadpool can't die, remember? XD

Me need links to un-allowed stuff!!!
Just read Star Wars: Blood Ties. I only picked it up because it was a Jango Fett story, and he's one of the few Star Wars characters I give a damn about (bite me, fanboys), but it ended up being just about the best star wars comic I've ever read. (and I've actually read quite a few, despite my indifference toward the franchise) The art by Chris Scalf is absolutely stunning, and Tom Taylor's script, while not entirely revolutionary, is solid and snappy, which is all you can really ask for.
In the end, it was good enough that, as someone who doesn't normally pick up Star Wars comics at all, when it mentioned at the end of the 4th issue that Taylor and Scalf would be doing further Blood Ties stories featuring other characters in the universe who were related, I didn't even hesitate before telling my local shop that I wanted any that came out.

How bad is this news?
Pretty sure this is the guy who wanted to wipe out every city except Metropolis and Gotham.
He's also responsible for cry for justice.
I'll go look him up some more, I want to know if I should be afraid for the DC universe or not.

SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THIS IS FROM!!!
I need to read this, like right now!!!!!

It looks like Mr Mind.
I need the name of the comic book, and issue number. I know very little of Mr. Mind, but seeing him with a pistol is the most awesome thing ever!
EDIT
It's Action Comics, just need the issue number now.
EDIT 2
It's Adventure Comics
EDIT 3
# 3
Mr Mind is showing up in the finale of this years batman: brave and the bold.
So that should be awesome.
Mr Mind and the Monster Society of Evil has to be one of the most awesome titles conceived by anyone. Just looking at it makes me laugh.
I've been reading Ultimate Comics: Avengers lately and while some of it was pretty good, most of it was just boring as hell.

The first volume, Next Generation, was okay, but nothing special. Having Red Skull being the son of Captain America was certainly different and the design was pretty cool. The story was nothing special though and Captain America behaved like a real douche, taking cover in a kindergarten when War Machine was chasing him. I would rate the whole ting 5/10.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg31.imageshack.us%2Fimg31%2F2639%2Fl12943724.jpg&hash=a1d514145bfd8a653a36a10274d558e862ea22c5)
The second volume, Crime and Punishment, was much better. Both the Punisher and Ghost Rider were pretty cool. The story was better, but still nothing special. There were some decent action though, which made up for the lack of story. It was interesting to see the Punisher, Hawkeye and Ghost Rider to interact with each other, seeing as how they have all lost their families. I wish they would have done something more with that though. Still, it's worth a read. I would rate it 7/10.
I haven't read much of the third volume, because I'm f**king sick of vampires. I didn't like the new Daredevil or Blade though, they seemed very bland.
Has anyone else here read these? What do you think?

Horrible feeling seeing Ultimate Cap for the first time realizing what a f**king asshole he is, much like everyone else in that stupidly shitty Ultimate Series of Marvel Comics.
Quote from: Huol on Dec 06, 2010, 01:51:52 AMWelcome to Ultimate Cap.
I used to think he was alright, until I read Brubaker's take on 616 Cap. Just take the way they treat the french for example. Ultimate Cap is mocking them, calling them cowards. 616 Cap treats them with respect, saying that even though their goverment surrendered in WWII, the french people never did.

The top 25 lamest superheroes by MAXIM magazine
Spoiler
25. SHE-RA
Secret identity: Princess Adora
Origin: He-Man's twin sister.
# Power: She has superstrength, a flying pony, and 'roid-rage-fueled PMS.
Why so lame: When bad guys are hunky, she must remember to tape over her supernipples before getting into costume or they'll slice through the fabric, traumatizing children.
#24: DAREDEVIL
Secret identity: Matt Murdock
Origin: Blinded by radioactive waste, Murdock swore to fight crime after goons murdered his boxer dad. Is also a lawyer.
Power: He has batlike radar sense that makes up for his lack of seeingness...sort of.
Why so lame: He's. A. Blind. Superhero. What's next? Quadriplegic Stone Deaf Man?
#23:CAPTAIN MARVEL
Secret identity: Billy Batson
Origin: A subway-dwelling wizard (yeah, sure, buddy) gave young Billy the ability to turn into an adult superhero.
Power: By saying "Shazam!", Billy can fly and is invulnerable.
Why so lame: Is he a little boy who can become a grown man or vice versa? Either way you slice it, it's icky.
#22:THE FLASH
Secret identity: Barry Allen
Origin: Simultaneously struck by lightning and doused with chemicals (What sign was this ******* born under?), Barry Allen became the fastest man alive—the Flash!
Power: He can run really fast. Also...no, wait, that's it.
Why so lame: When a curb can defeat you, you're lame.
#21:INVISIBLE WOMAN
Secret identity: Sue Storm
Origin: On a rocket designed by her future husband, Reed Richards, Sue took a radiation bath that gave her superpowers. Which is...super!
Power: She can turn invisible and set up force fields.
Why so lame: Now, Inaudible Woman is something we could all get behind...
#20:MOON KNIGHT
Secret identities: Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley
Origin: Marc Spector gave up the soldier-of-fortune biz and invented several new identities, including Moon Knight.
Power: None.
Why so lame: What kind of "nocturnal avenger" wears all white? Why not just put blinking lights on your head, dork?
#19: PUCK
Secret identity: Eugene Judd
Origin: Soldier of fortune (that's original) Eugene fell victim to an evil spirit that transformed him into a beefy midget. D'oh!
Power: He's very strong and can somersault ferociously.
Why so lame: He's a midget in a leotard named for a chunk of rubber that gets slapped around by Canadians. Any questions?
#18:HOURMAN
Secret identity: Rex Tyler
Origin: Rex developed an addictive miracle drug named Miraclo (duh!), which gives a person momentary superpowers.
Power: Strength, near-invulnerability, and speed...for an hour.
Why so lame: His powers can be nullified by a traffic delay. When taken in the bedroom, he becomes 30-second Man.
#17:MAN-THING
Secret identity: Ted Sallis
Origin: A lab accident in a swamp turned biochemist Sallis into a lumbering heap of vegetation.
Power: Photosynthesis. His touch burns anyone who fears him. Looks pretty in the den, by the window.
Why so lame: He looks like something a vegan vomited up.
#16. BLACK LIGHTNING
Secret identity: Jefferson Pierce
Origin: Jefferson acquired an electricity-generating superbelt to help him fight crime and dispense justice in the ghetto.
Power: Can generate electricity—enough to power a small black-and-white television for up to 20 minutes.
Why so lame: Judging by Black Lightning's credentials (disco tights and funky belt), Bootsy Collins could be a superhero.
#15. WONDER WOMAN
Secret identity: Princess Diana (no, not that one)
Origin: Chosen by the Amazons to serve as their crime-fighting champion in the world of Man.
Power: Superstrength, a pair of bullet-deflecting bracelets, and a gold lasso that makes people tell the truth. In other words, the girlfriend from hell.
Why so lame: PMS. See this star-spangled stripper in the parking lot, feeling around for her invisible jet? Back off.
#14. SHE-HULK
Secret identity: Jennifer Walters
Origin: The Mob tried to rub out Jenny with a shower of bullets...Little did they know her cousin was Bruce "the Hulk" Banner. After an emergency green-blood transfusion, Jennifer became the She-Hulk.
Power: She has superstrength; can pulverize any johnson between her mighty she-labia.
Why so lame: Basically, she's just a hot green chick. Yawn.
#13. FIRESTORM
Secret identities: Ronny Raymond and Martin Stein
Origin: An accident fused the minds of student Ronny and professor Martin into one hero: Firestorm.
Power: He can fly and phase through solid objects.
Why so lame: Imagine trying to fight crime as a voice in your head corrects your grammar...
#12. THOR
Secret identity: Donald Blake
Origin: The son of the Norse god Odin, Thor was punished for his arrogance and forced to assume the part-time identity of a crippled medical student.
Power: He has superstrength, flight, and a magic hammer; has amazing blond hair with body and bounce!
Why so lame: Any superhero who'd be played by Fabio should quit and start hitting the mead.
#11. GREEN ARROW
Secret identity: Oliver Queen
Origin: Stuck on a deserted island, Oliver taught himself the hunting skills that he'd later use to fight bad guys.
Power: He has incredible aim—also uses trick arrows that wear cute boxing gloves.
Why so lame: Archery skills were long ago left in the dust by more advanced weapons...like, oh, say, clubs.
#10. SUPERMAN
Secret identity: Clark Kent
Origin: Kal-El, an orphan from the planet Krypton, was adopted by farmers the Kents.
Power: He can fly, and he possesses superstrength, invulnerability, X-ray vision, heat vision, freezing breath—and two clanking balls of steel.
Why so lame: He's a cornfed, holier-than-thou Boy Scout with a lame disguise. C'mon!
#9. CAPTAIN PLANET
Secret identity: Sting (um, we think)
Origin: Summoned when five multiethnic kids combined the power of their rings, Captain Planet helps thwart ecovillains.
Power: He can fly, and he sports a green mullet; weaknesses include littering, toxic waste. Can never enter New Jersey.
Why so lame: He's Greenpeace's own Superman!
#8. APACHE CHIEF
Secret identity: Token Native American
Origin: Apache Chief was given his superabilities by his tribe's medicine man.
Power: By saying a magic word, Apache Chief can grow 50 feet tall—but as his costume's a loincloth, the view ain't pretty.
Why so lame: Seems like more of a Mohegan Sun attraction than a superhero.
#7. DR. HENRY PYM
Secret identity: Lessee, there's Yellowjacket, Ant-Man, Goliath...
Origin: After thugs murdered his wife, Pym assumed a number of different superhero identities, all pathetic.
Power: Can become big or little. Has Napoleon and reverse-Napoleon complexes.
Why so lame: One awful identity is bad enough, but Pym has struck out four different times.
#6. BANSHEE
Secret identity: Sean Cassidy
Origin: An Irish member of Interpol, Banshee actually got his start as a bad guy before Professor X sought him out to join the X-Men. Been fighting the good fight, downing Guinness, and pestering 'N Sync with his résumé ever since.
Power: His scream can shatter and destroy things, and he can fly. Banshee does not, however, have the gift of the blarney.
Why so lame: What? You mean besides the fact that he's known to villains as Shrieks-Like-a-Girl Man? Couldn't they come up with something better? Shillelagh Man would've been 10 times cooler.
#5. DAZZLER
Secret identity: Alison Blaire
Origin: Using her hush-hush abilities, Dazzler became a famous disco singer, but the mirrored ball stopped turning when a boyfriend persuaded her to reveal to the world that she was a despised mutant. Typical.
Power: She can convert sound into brilliant displays of light and color. "Ooh!" "Aah!"
Why so lame: OK, you're a hardened crook, and what's that in the distance? A shining chick in a silver jumpsuit on roller skates zooming to irritate your corneas! Dazzler should have gone down with the disco ship. Fun fact: Is the only hero ever to have been spotted at Studio 54.
#4. MATTER-EATER LAD
Secret identity: Tenzil Kem
Origin: Matter-Eater Lad was born on the toxic planet Bismoll (no word on its companion star Pepto), where the locals evolved superguts that enabled them to eat any substance—even British food. Was allowed to join the Legion of Super-Heroes, who will apparently take just about anybody.
Power: Can consume any matter—animal, vegetable, or mineral. Is a big hit with the ladies.
Why so lame: Let's say Matter-Eater Lad was trapped in a steel-reinforced concrete vault. He could eat his way out of it. But those bowel movements...
#3. DOCTOR STRANGE
Secret identity: Stephen Strange
Origin: After a car accident impaired his abilities as a surgeon, Stephen Strange moved to N.Y.C.'s fabulous West Village, hired an Asian manservant, and became a...sorcerer.
Power: He wears the fashionable "Eye of Agamotto" necklace that can do all sorts of plot-convenient things, like open up dimensional gateways. Also has a Swedish-porn-star mustache.
Why so lame: Dr. Strange is Dr. Ka-ray-zee! Looks like he'd be comfortable in a kimono, sipping a martini before asking you to play strip Jenga with the rest of the hepcat swingers.
#2. AQUAMAN
Secret identity: Arthur Curry
Origin: Aquaman was born to a mixed marriage: His father was an average Joe, and his mother was the deposed queen of an advanced underwater civilization. Devoted himself to crime fighting to avenge the death of his childhood sea monkeys or some shit. Currently playing comic relief for a number of different supergroups.
Power: He can breathe underwater, swim fast, and, best of all, communicate with fish. Plus, his fingers never, ever get wrinkly.
Why so lame: "I'm trapped in...frigging...tuna net again. Swordfish! Hear and obey! Stop laughing and cut me loose!"
#1. ROBIN
Status: Sidekick
Secret identity: Dick Grayson
Origin: Dick watched helplessly as his circus acrobat parents got whacked by some Gotham City gangsters. (Hey, we just figured out why!) Adopted by Bruce Wayne/Batman and vowing revenge, he became the fearsome, um, Boy Wonder. Evil—snicker—better beware!
Power: He can swing from ropes, ride shotgun, tidy up the living room, and peek out from behind Batman's cape.
Why so lame: Robin isn't just lame—he's hands-down the most embarrassing, useless, and completely ridiculous superhero ever. No powers, a femmy nickname, a figure-skater costume, and no actual responsibilities of his own. Why he wasn't super-wedgied a long time ago is beyond us.

What the f**k is this? >:(
What kind of idiot wrote that list? Seriously? Superman, The Flash, Captain Marvel, Thor, Daredevil? They are all great heroes. In fact, the only one in that list I would call lame is Captain Planet and I could easily think of 25 superheroes that are lamer.
Captain Planet has a green mullet your argument is invalid.

Origin: An accident fused the minds of student Ronny and professor Martin into one hero: Firestorm.
Power: He can fly and phase through solid objects.
Why so lame: Imagine trying to fight crime as a voice in your head corrects your grammar...
#12. THOR
Secret identity: Donald Blake
Origin: The son of the Norse god Odin, Thor was punished for his arrogance and forced to assume the part-time identity of a crippled medical student.
Power: He has superstrength, flight, and a magic hammer; has amazing blond hair with body and bounce!
Why so lame: Any superhero who'd be played by Fabio should quit and start hitting the mead.
#11. GREEN ARROW
Secret identity: Oliver Queen
Origin: Stuck on a deserted island, Oliver taught himself the hunting skills that he'd later use to fight bad guys.
Power: He has incredible aim—also uses trick arrows that wear cute boxing gloves.
Why so lame: Archery skills were long ago left in the dust by more advanced weapons...like, oh, say, clubs.
#10. SUPERMAN
Secret identity: Clark Kent
Origin: Kal-El, an orphan from the planet Krypton, was adopted by farmers the Kents.
Power: He can fly, and he possesses superstrength, invulnerability, X-ray vision, heat vision, freezing breath—and two clanking balls of steel.
Why so lame: He's a cornfed, holier-than-thou Boy Scout with a lame disguise. C'mon!
#9. CAPTAIN PLANET
Secret identity: Sting (um, we think)
Origin: Summoned when five multiethnic kids combined the power of their rings, Captain Planet helps thwart ecovillains.
Power: He can fly, and he sports a green mullet; weaknesses include littering, toxic waste. Can never enter New Jersey.
Why so lame: He's Greenpeace's own Superman!
#8. APACHE CHIEF
Secret identity: Token Native American
Origin: Apache Chief was given his superabilities by his tribe's medicine man.
Power: By saying a magic word, Apache Chief can grow 50 feet tall—but as his costume's a loincloth, the view ain't pretty.
Why so lame: Seems like more of a Mohegan Sun attraction than a superhero.
#7. DR. HENRY PYM
Secret identity: Lessee, there's Yellowjacket, Ant-Man, Goliath...
Origin: After thugs murdered his wife, Pym assumed a number of different superhero identities, all pathetic.
Power: Can become big or little. Has Napoleon and reverse-Napoleon complexes.
Why so lame: One awful identity is bad enough, but Pym has struck out four different times.
#6. BANSHEE
Secret identity: Sean Cassidy
Origin: An Irish member of Interpol, Banshee actually got his start as a bad guy before Professor X sought him out to join the X-Men. Been fighting the good fight, downing Guinness, and pestering 'N Sync with his résumé ever since.
Power: His scream can shatter and destroy things, and he can fly. Banshee does not, however, have the gift of the blarney.
Why so lame: What? You mean besides the fact that he's known to villains as Shrieks-Like-a-Girl Man? Couldn't they come up with something better? Shillelagh Man would've been 10 times cooler.
#5. DAZZLER
Secret identity: Alison Blaire
Origin: Using her hush-hush abilities, Dazzler became a famous disco singer, but the mirrored ball stopped turning when a boyfriend persuaded her to reveal to the world that she was a despised mutant. Typical.
Power: She can convert sound into brilliant displays of light and color. "Ooh!" "Aah!"
Why so lame: OK, you're a hardened crook, and what's that in the distance? A shining chick in a silver jumpsuit on roller skates zooming to irritate your corneas! Dazzler should have gone down with the disco ship. Fun fact: Is the only hero ever to have been spotted at Studio 54.
#4. MATTER-EATER LAD
Secret identity: Tenzil Kem
Origin: Matter-Eater Lad was born on the toxic planet Bismoll (no word on its companion star Pepto), where the locals evolved superguts that enabled them to eat any substance—even British food. Was allowed to join the Legion of Super-Heroes, who will apparently take just about anybody.
Power: Can consume any matter—animal, vegetable, or mineral. Is a big hit with the ladies.
Why so lame: Let's say Matter-Eater Lad was trapped in a steel-reinforced concrete vault. He could eat his way out of it. But those bowel movements...
#3. DOCTOR STRANGE
Secret identity: Stephen Strange
Origin: After a car accident impaired his abilities as a surgeon, Stephen Strange moved to N.Y.C.'s fabulous West Village, hired an Asian manservant, and became a...sorcerer.
Power: He wears the fashionable "Eye of Agamotto" necklace that can do all sorts of plot-convenient things, like open up dimensional gateways. Also has a Swedish-porn-star mustache.
Why so lame: Dr. Strange is Dr. Ka-ray-zee! Looks like he'd be comfortable in a kimono, sipping a martini before asking you to play strip Jenga with the rest of the hepcat swingers.
#2. AQUAMAN
Secret identity: Arthur Curry
Origin: Aquaman was born to a mixed marriage: His father was an average Joe, and his mother was the deposed queen of an advanced underwater civilization. Devoted himself to crime fighting to avenge the death of his childhood sea monkeys or some shit. Currently playing comic relief for a number of different supergroups.
Power: He can breathe underwater, swim fast, and, best of all, communicate with fish. Plus, his fingers never, ever get wrinkly.
Why so lame: "I'm trapped in...frigging...tuna net again. Swordfish! Hear and obey! Stop laughing and cut me loose!"
#1. ROBIN
Status: Sidekick
Secret identity: Dick Grayson
Origin: Dick watched helplessly as his circus acrobat parents got whacked by some Gotham City gangsters. (Hey, we just figured out why!) Adopted by Bruce Wayne/Batman and vowing revenge, he became the fearsome, um, Boy Wonder. Evil—snicker—better beware!
Power: He can swing from ropes, ride shotgun, tidy up the living room, and peek out from behind Batman's cape.
Why so lame: Robin isn't just lame—he's hands-down the most embarrassing, useless, and completely ridiculous superhero ever. No powers, a femmy nickname, a figure-skater costume, and no actual responsibilities of his own. Why he wasn't super-wedgied a long time ago is beyond us.
Stupid.

Looks like that person never read of any of the comics with the character that appear, and only based them off from what he or she see in pop media.
The list is just f**king insane.
reading some of the "why so lame" bits actually HURT!
whoever wrote it is some sort of geek culture hating bully who doesn't like all the exposure and income superheroes are getting these days
also no mention of spider-man or green lantern or any x-men that have been in the movies that seems like favouritism to me.
and
QuoteHe's a midget in a leotard named for a chunk of rubber that gets slapped around by Canadians.
i guess he doesn't read much Shakespeare.
Well I just discovered its actually a top 30 list.
Spoiler
#30:. Silver Surfer
Status: Member of the Defenders
Secret identity: Norrin Rad
Origin: In exchange for planet-eating Galactus sparing his home world of Zenn-la, Norrin Rad became his lackey, the Silver Surfer. Eventually, he defies the gargantuan planet hog and starts using his power for good.
Power: He has superstrength, invulnerability, and can shoot beams of the "power cosmic." Also has great balance.
Why so lame: More like a living billboard for sports drinks, the Silver Surfer always looked like he was traversing the cosmos buck naked. And why would an alien space traveler have a surfboard anyway
#29: Blue Beetle
Status: Member of the Justice League of America
Secret identity: Ted Kord
Origin: Ted Kord, former chairman of the board of KORD Inc., uses his electronic genius to fight crime as the Blue Beetle.
Power: He's got none, but he does own a buttload of giant beetle-shaped gadgets and vehicles.
Why so lame: He's a little too in love with his whole bizarre "Beetle" motif. It's not as if beetles are extraordinary bugs or anything. Now, Crimson Caterpillar—that's a name!
#28:Green Lantern
Status: Member of the Justice League of America
Secret identity: Multiple; currently Kyle Rayner
Origin: One of over 3,000 members comprising the Corps, Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814 protects Earth, the surrounding cosmos, and the Diamond District.
Power: A ring that can create force fields, cast destructive beams, heal the wounded, and make the gals at the parlor positively green with envy.
Why so lame: His superpowers come from battery-powered jewelry. Most degradingly, he's defenseless against the color yellow. If you should encounter the Lantern, shower him in spray butter. While he obsessive-compulsively polishes his ring, run.
#27: Darkman
Status: Probably lurking somewhere—watch behind you!
Secret identity: Peyton Westlake
Origin: Hideously burned by gangsters who were ransacking his laboratory, Darkman lurks in the shadows, fighting injustice and changing his face more often than his underwear.
Power: Synthetic skin enables Darkman to assume different identities but only for brief amounts of time. He's also—what's the term? —totally ****ing nuts.
Why so lame: A walking plastic surgery disaster? What kind of hero is that?!
#26: The Phantom
Status: Former member of the Defenders of the Earth
Secret identity: Kit Walker
Origin: After witnessing his parents killed by pirates (arrrh!), the mysterious Phantom, um, shakes his fist and threatens bad guys from his jungle hideout.
Power: He's got no powers to speak of. He is known, though, to carry handguns, and he sports a ring with a skull on it. He also wears purple tights. Or would that be "eggplant"?
Why so lame: A pair of six-shooters and a trusty steed are fine if you're Clint Eastwood. But if you're a hermit in a unitard, it sucks.
They did
not just diss my blue beetle,
oh no
Stopped reading at the name of #24.
And oh my God, did they just include Silver Surfer?!

Darkman & The Phantom?
GTFO!
Going by the rest of the list, that person never read a comic of the character before and must only seen the cartoon or movie version of the character.

Origin: He-Man's twin sister.
# Power: She has superstrength, a flying pony, and 'roid-rage-fueled PMS.

#24: DAREDEVIL
Secret identity: Matt Murdock
Origin: Blinded by radioactive waste, Murdock swore to fight crime after goons murdered his boxer dad. Is also a lawyer.
Power: He has batlike radar sense that makes up for his lack of seeingness...sort of.

#23:CAPTAIN MARVEL
Secret identity: Billy Batson
Origin: A subway-dwelling wizard (yeah, sure, buddy) gave young Billy the ability to turn into an adult superhero.
Power: By saying "Shazam!", Billy can fly and is invulnerable.
Why so lame: Is he a little boy who can become a grown man or vice versa? Either way you slice it, it's icky.
#22:THE FLASH
Secret identity: Barry Allen
Origin: Simultaneously struck by lightning and doused with chemicals (What sign was this ******* born under?), Barry Allen became the fastest man alive—the Flash!
Power: He can run really fast. Also...no, wait, that's it.
Why so lame: When a curb can defeat you, you're lame.

#20:MOON KNIGHT
Secret identities: Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley
Origin: Marc Spector gave up the soldier-of-fortune biz and invented several new identities, including Moon Knight.

#19: PUCK
Secret identity: Eugene Judd
Origin: Soldier of fortune (that's original) Eugene fell victim to an evil spirit that transformed him into a beefy midget. D'oh!
Power: He's very strong and can somersault ferociously.
Why so lame: He's a midget in a leotard named for a chunk of rubber that gets slapped around by Canadians. Any questions?
#18:HOURMAN
Secret identity: Rex Tyler
Origin: Rex developed an addictive miracle drug named Miraclo (duh!), which gives a person momentary superpowers.
Power: Strength, near-invulnerability, and speed...for an hour.
Why so lame: His powers can be nullified by a traffic delay. When taken in the bedroom, he becomes 30-second Man.
#17:MAN-THING
Secret identity: Ted Sallis
Origin: A lab accident in a swamp turned biochemist Sallis into a lumbering heap of vegetation.

Why so lame: He looks like something a vegan vomited up.
#16. BLACK LIGHTNING
Secret identity: Jefferson Pierce
Origin: Jefferson acquired an electricity-generating superbelt to help him fight crime and dispense justice in the ghetto.
Power: Can generate electricity—enough to power a small black-and-white television for up to 20 minutes.
Why so lame: Judging by Black Lightning's credentials (disco tights and funky belt), Bootsy Collins could be a superhero.
#15. WONDER WOMAN
Secret identity: Princess Diana (no, not that one)
Origin: Chosen by the Amazons to serve as their crime-fighting champion in the world of Man.
Power: Superstrength, a pair of bullet-deflecting bracelets, and a gold lasso that makes people tell the truth. In other words, the girlfriend from hell.

That person must have never read any of the Daredevil comics from Frank Miller or Kevin Smith.
Or maybe they did read the Smith Daredevil. :P
I haven't, and even I wouldn't put Daredevil on that list, and you know how I hate Daredevil for no particular reason.
It's Maxim, who cares what they think.
Apparently all of us here.
I've never really been a DC guy but I picked up Green Lantern Corps # 53 & 54. They were really great. Good story an art.
With the ending of Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy, its stopped even being funny how much better DC is than Marvel.

From the comic vine article; suggested that it's a new image of the new Venom as well, I can be wrong due to crying inside over that ridiculous punisher-venom look.

They didn't even really end those series right at all. They just stopped publishing them before the Thanos Imperative. Like I said I've never really been a DC fan but I'm taking another look lately.
Well, if you read Thanos Imperative, that series did actually give them more or less a proper ending, kind of wrapped up everything that started way back in Annihilation. But its neither here nor there, since they were the only Marvel books I really cared much about.
That being said, I am reading Abnett and Lanning's new book, their Heroes for Hire reboot, and the first issue was pretty good, and I've been picking up the new X-Men, but everything else has been DC.
So we're torn between this

Marvel guys, hello?
Connected?
I think you know what's the
right choice for a new Venom, don't you?
I think they're both the new venom.
Like the first ones just casual and when shit hits the fan it explodes into big monster venom.
At least I think thats how it works, could be wrong.
Either way the first one looks like something out of Splinter Cell.
Or Metal Gear Solid.
Nothing that really even summons in the slightest "Venom". Except for the color scheme and spider patterns of course.

I posted about that a few pages back, and even WAY before then it was posted that it would be a female to take his place. My conversation with Ghost Rider tells you who it might be, and I have no doubt that that person will definitely be the new Carnage.

I liked him, at least the story where he teamed up with the Punisher.
^^I'll second that too.

Well, if you read Thanos Imperative, that series did actually give them more or less a proper ending, kind of wrapped up everything that started way back in Annihilation. But its neither here nor there, since they were the only Marvel books I really cared much about.
That being said, I am reading Abnett and Lanning's new book, their Heroes for Hire reboot, and the first issue was pretty good, and I've been picking up the new X-Men, but everything else has been DC.
It did wrap everything up but to me it felt rushed. As far as I know I don't remember the last issue's of Gaurdians of The Galaxy & Nova saying it was the finale issue. Maybe I missed it.
The new X-Men series is promising so far. Give it a few years an it will just be another cancelled series. I'm still reading Uncanny X-Men but waiting for Fration to leave. I really hate his writing. Its so "blah".
I still can't believe they kill off Cable.
They are so good at killing off good characters, aren't they.

Yep, she's the only person that will.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they killed off Cable in
Cable & Deadpool too and he came back in another crossover comic (that Deadpool wasn't invited to) ;)
Cable & Deadpool was such a great series. I miss it.

Haha, that's awesome. :D
Thanks for sharing. =)
Just read The Beatles Experience.
Picture this - in fact I'll picture it for you:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpolitedissent.com%2Fimages%2Ffeb06%2Floafer.jpg&hash=35238b5e21057a3905a61a742e695c369222067c)
And multiply it by about 100, and you'll have an idea how utterly lame The Beatles Experience is. But in way that you just have to keep reading to find out if it'll get lamer - and then rejoice when it does! Like a panel of Paul McCartney driving a car with Julian Lennon in the front seat and Macca telling him "Hey Jules. Don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better." Then thinking - "Hey Jules... hey Jules... I KNOW! HEY JUDE!" Or the Beatles opening for Roy Orbison in the early 1960s and George Harrison saying - "I'd like be make an album with him. Sometime between now and... 1988!"
I kept looking for an inkling that the writer was in it for the lulz. Sadly not. The stuff about Nixon (with devil horns) using the CIA to hire Chapman to shoot Lennon strayed too far into 'excrutiating' territory, but otherwise it took itself so terribly seriously it was impossible not to laugh at it.
I just found out that the new Walking Dead issues won't be released until early January. :'(
Spawn #200 is the next major comic that I'm looking forward at the moment.

Some info from Tom Brevoort and Axel Alonso:
"You know, we went into the Heroic Age, and we took a year or so off from doing big, interconnected event series, because we sensed a certain fatigue was setting in, both on the part of the readers and our creators. And fans seemed to like that for the most part. But now we're all well-rested and it's time to get back to business again."
"So the thing we're going to be talking about a week from now is massive. It's incredibly huge, incredibly far-reaching. It's a big ol' bombshell to drop, and there's not much more I can say about it ahead of time. But yes, this will not be a small thing. This will be a grand, sweeping, epic Marvel event the likes of which you haven't seen in a few years. It's definitely larger in scope than "Siege," more on the scale of "Secret Invasion," and as ambitious in its way as "Civil War."
"To that end, we're having a press conference on Tuesday at Noon Eastern at a location we can't reveal quite yet. But if you can't make it, we're streaming the whole thing live on Marvel.Com."
Quote from: ShadowPred on Dec 18, 2010, 07:28:08 PMLike most of their events, it will probably suck. I'm hoping that it won't.
Siege was okay, it was certainly better the second time I read it. It didn't come close to Blackest Night though.
Ima be reading Blackest Night soon. I already read JUSTICE, 52, and KINGDOM COME, and they were f**king insane.
Aye, Kingdom Come and Justice are the best. I can't get enough of Alex Ross. :)
I still have to read Siege since I notice there are many paper trade backs, and I have no idea which one do I start off at? The new event that Marvel seems to be planning sounds awesome, and I hope its much better then Heroic Age which was not that great if you ask me.
I just noticed that Alex Ross' Justice is getting a hardcover release in August 2011.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Justice-Jim-Krueger/dp/1401231853/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1292715023&sr=1-3 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Justice-Jim-Krueger/dp/1401231853/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1292715023&sr=1-3)
I have the Absolute Edition, but barely dare to open it. It will be nice to get a collection you can actually read. :D
Jesus, when is marvel going to stop being so damn pretentious and realize that people stopped caring about their "enormous, over-reaching events" years ago? I mean, yeah, it was kind of cool back in the 70s and 80s when it was a once in a blue moon type of thing, but when one massive crossover just leads into another, and the few changes they actually dare to make are never for the better, people lose interest.
They really need to just let Abnett and Lanning take over the plotting of the entire universe.
And for God's sake, get Greg Pak off of Hulk! We all loved Planet Hulk, but then he went completely batshit!
... :-\
/rant
DC remains awesome, though. They haven't done anything to piss me off lately, and they've reduced their comics back to 2.99. Which is really nice for someone that buys a lot - that dollar adds up fast.
If they are still making events, that means there are people who will go there and have a look at them, Marvel isn't stupid.

Looks interesting, I like the taglines on the posters. I wonder what it'll be.
I just read Superman: Secret Origin again. Besides Man of Steel, I consider this the best Superman origin to date. It might not be as "deep" as Birthright, but it feels like a classic Superman story, they've gotten the characters right and the art is simply beautiful.

Does anyone else has an opinion on this?
It's good, but I don't hold it as highly as Man of Steel or Birthright.

Where can I find all the TRONized Marvel Heroes?
Spidey should have the Tron outfit for a future version, and Quicksilver looks f**king badass.
Giving the Silver Surfer a Tron outfit would be awesome.
It would be wicked.
Nah, any other colour on Norrin would completely overshadow the silver thus kinda doing away with his name.
His design is perfect.
Marvel Announce Their Next Big Event "Fear Itself"
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26802 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26802)
"What happens when fear gets so prevalent that it seems the norm?" he said, and added that the line between hero and villain will be blurred... and crossed.
Matt Fraction spoke about the series in another video, adding that the Marvel heroes would be fighting the god of fear. "You will not feel underserved on any level," Fraction said. "We are going to be busting the doors down with the biggest story we've ever told."
Brevoort acknowledged that fans had asked for a break from big events and Marvel largely took the last year off, but is now returning with a story "as ambitious as 'Civil War.'" The series itself will be 7-issues, and Ed Brubaker will be writing a prelude with Cap and Namor, with a title to be named later.
"There is a concealed act at the center of the Marvel universe that was committed a number of years ago, and it will change everything," Brevoort said. "And that, in essence, is what 'Fear Itself' is all about."
Brevoort brought Alonso on stage and, before handing the mic over, noted that readers can choose to just read the core series but many series will also be involved.
Alsono took over saying "Fear Itself" is "an extinction-level event." "It's a major event that involves everyone--expect major participation from X-Men, from Dracula ... and alliances you wouldn't have expected."
Brevoort added that Marvel had been "setting up some dominoes" for a while now, some of which readers will have recognized and others will have been glossed over.
Brevoort would not say anything more about "Fantastic Four," but "whatever's left of the 'FF' after that deathbag issue, they will be involved."
The first issue of "Fear Itself" will be about 45 pages, and the final issue will probably also be oversized. The price point is expected to be $3.99.
"Fear Itself" will have afterefects reverberating throughout the Marvel Universe, Brevoort said. "It will be a sad story that they refer to again and again and again until you are sick of hearing about it."

Marvel Comics said Wednesday that a member of the foursome -- Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing -- will die in issue No. 587 next month.
Dear Marvel,
Go die in hell.
It's not very exciting when:
A) They will come back to life pretty soon anyway.
B) They tell us about it, instead of letting it be a nasty surprise.
It was cool when Cap died. Now it's just becoming a lame gimmick.

Weren't they going to do that a while ago, is it just barely happening?
Stop killing off characters we all grew up with Marvel! Maybe they will die for a short moment, and come back like what happen with Wolverine recently since Spider-Man brought him back to life with the comsic cube.
Oh, well.
The Thing already died before since I remember Nick Furry killed him when Doctor Doom mind control him.

Actually, that took place before Siege, so he's still dead. :'(
f**king comic books companies, always releasing comics that take place before, after, or present that goes with another series. Well, at least Sentry is still dead.
Is Marvel Noir worth checking out?

maybe they will, but their origins would have to be changed pretty drastically, from gamma bomb and space visit.
Yeah maybe, but I still can't believe their is no Noir version of Captain America as well. If they can make a Noir version of the X-Men, then they should do one with The Hulk and F4 as well.

well the X men's origins can be put in any era.
it's like the 1602 universe, the only reason there is a 1602 cap is because he came from the future, and the 1602 F4 are exposed to a time rift, same with 1602 hulk,
Is Marvel still making stuff for the 2099 universe? I really enjoy the Hulk, Ghost Rider, and SM 2099 comics as a kid, and want to see if their is any paper backs for them.
I'm not sure if they are still doing something with it, but back I do know that recently they brought the universe back, but with some changes, although I think that Spidey 2099 is still the same, and I know that Ghost Rider is no longer a machine in the 2099 universe.
I read Deadpool Classic Volume 3 over the past couple of days, and within those glorious pages are quite possibly some of the most hilarious Deadpool moments I have ever read. Messing with Spider-Man's timestream was too funny for words, I laughed aloud for the first time reading a book in forever. :D
I highly recommend it and if Deadpool Classic Volume 4 (due out in Jan-Feb 2011) is as great, I think Joe Kelly will be my new favourite Deadpool writer, it sure is heading that way. ;D
Try and get the Superman/Batman annual with 'Deadpool' in that Kelly wrote. It's great.

LMAO at what you said, completely undermines what the promo image is saying, ahahahahah!
I have a feeling that Doctor Doom will kill off the F4.
Didn't he just die at the hands of Ben Grimm? I saw that like two pages ago.
You know how Marvel and DC are with deaths. They will find some way to bring them back and retcon their deaths. Like Superman for example, after "Death of Superman" it turns out that Doomsday never killed him but was put in a coma afterwards.
No, I know, but didn;t Doom just die like recently? I'm not sure since I haven't been reading.
Quote from: ShadowPred on Dec 30, 2010, 04:07:18 AMDidn't he just die at the hands of Ben Grimm? I saw that like two pages ago.
That was Ultimate Marvel.
I'm rather behind Marvel as well since I still need to read Siege though. I try reading Heroic Age, and found it rather borning.
Got a hard cover copy of Moon Knight: God and Country today for free. Not sure what to think, as I'm not really familiar with the character. :-\ Really like the art though.

"What happened actually was that Tom contacted me and Ed Brubaker, saying, "We've got this Captain America and Thor thing happening this summer, so we're wondering if maybe there's a Cap/Thor series that could capitalize on that?" As Ed and I started to talk and I kind of got into it and he kind of got out of it, we came up with this story, but we kept having trouble figuring out, "how do you make this work for a movie audience? How do you start part one in May, and then have part three in July, and still have it make sense, and not have somebody have to go back, and buy two parts?"
"Just getting wrapped up in the logic of it all during a retreat. Joe Quesada just said, "[frick] it, what's you story?" That kind of freed me to not worry about marketing and scheduling in my pitch — I had the core of the story, but I couldn't figure out where it all fell. Once Joe said that, I was like, "Oh, great, well, here's the story," and I started to tell what I thought was a good, interesting, satisfying, Cap and Thor story."
On The Main Premise Of "Fear Itself" And How It Revolves Around Captain America And Thor:
"There's an alliance between Sin and this guy, the Serpent, the God of Fear — this fellow that Odin banished millennia ago. You've got a big nightmare for Thor, which is basically a monstrous problem of his dad's, and then with Cap you've got the Red Skull's daughter — she's sort of like the ultimate trust fund kid, she's earned nothing but been given everything, which makes her completely lethal and completely horrible to deal with. You've got Cap and Thor dealing with their worst nightmares come true simultaneously. It irradiates and touches everybody else outside of that, but it starts and ends with Cap and Thor."
On Iron Man And The X-Men's Role In The Event:
"It's not the role that people will expect. He is a part of the story, it's very much about the big three and their relationship to one another, but Iron Man takes a path that I hope surprises people; that he thwarts your basic assumption. That's the other thing, trying to find a front and center position for the X-Men in the middle of all this, too. They tend to take the sideline during these things for one reason or another — the opportunity to get them on the main stage is very exciting."

Axel Alonso Named New Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.comicbookmovie.com%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Feic.png&hash=7cdb7264cfbad949854fbe9e1aa226318b0bf3b8)
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=27398 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=27398)
Here is the full press release which was released by Marvel earlier today:
Marvel Worldwide, Inc announced today that it has promoted Axel Alonso to Editor-in-Chief, Marvel Entertainment. In this new role, Mr. Alonso will report to Dan Buckley Publisher & President, Print, Animation & Digital Divisions, Marvel Worldwide Inc. Mr. Alonso will oversee all day to day aspects of Marvel's Publishing division, including advising on the editorial creative direction, developing new storylines and brainstorming new initiatives. Additionally, Mr. Alonso will work on creative aspects of development of larger corporate initiatives involving Marvel's popular library of characters. The announcement was made today by Joe Quesada, Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Entertainment.
Mr. Quesada stated, "It's with tremendous pride that I announce Axel Alonso's promotion to Editor-In-Chief. For over a decade, Axel's been instrumental in bringing fresh new voices to Marvel and reinventing our biggest characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, Wolverine and so many more. He's fought to create unique imprints like Marvel MAX while also bringing fresh new voices to the Marvel family."
Working in comics for over 15 years, Mr. Alonso began working at Marvel in 2000 as a Senior Editor and was promoted to Vice President, Executive Editor in 2010. Overseeing acclaimed runs of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and X-MEN, in addition to shepherding groundbreaking projects such as X-STATIX and RAWHIDE KID, Mr. Alonso developed a reputation for bringing readers the unexpected and the electrifying. He also oversaw cross-promotional projects such as the creative collaboration between Marvel Entertainment and ESPN The Magazine on their recent NBA Preview issue, which drew attention across the world from mainstream media for it's innovation.
"Marvel has a great history of the most dynamic and memorable EiCs in comics history and I'm honored to step into this role," said Axel Alonso. "I've been blessed to work with some of the most creative men and women in the world, bringing to life some of the most compelling stories you'll find in any medium. This new role provides me with exciting challenges and prospects I've never encountered before, but I know one thing—Marvel's getting even bigger in 2011."
"Most of you know Axel from his high profile job as Vice President, Executive Editor and the man behind some of our very best and edgiest books," added Joe Quesada. "Time and time again, Axel has proven that he is one of the very best story editors in the history of our medium and one of the finest people I know. And, like everyone here at Marvel, he has one single focus, bringing you the best stories with the best characters in all of comicdom. That's why I have no doubt that Axel will bring Marvel Comics to greater heights than it's ever known!"
As part of this strategic initiative, Joe Quesada will focus on his duties as Chief Creative Officer, overseeing Marvel's creative endeavors in film, television, publishing, digital and more. In his ten-year tenure as Editor-In-Chief, Mr. Quesada was instrumental in Marvel's rise to prominence as a global entertainment juggernaut and the increased profile of the comic book medium. Mr. Quesada brings his expertise and experience to further strengthen the Marvel brand as a leader in worldwide entertainment.
I honestly am almost in tears because of this. I'm too happy that Quesada is getting the f**k out as Editor in Chief.
While I'm happy Quesada's moving on, I'm not wild about the replacement. But then, I gave up on trying to be happy with Marvel a long time ago. I've just hated them for way too long to really do anything but.
I've been going more an more over to the DC side lately. I don't like what they been doing with all my fav books. Plus the I hate what they have been doing with Wolverine. All these constant rebooting of #1's is annoying.
Ok, well, looks like there'll be at least one Marvel book I'll continue getting. Turns out the Abnett and Lanning Cosmepic isn't over after all! Starting in March, we get Annihiliators # 1, featuring a team consisting of Quasar, Ronan the Accuser, Gladiator, Beta Ray Bill, and the Silver goddamn Surfer, led by Cosmo (the telepathic Russian dog from Guardians of the Galaxy), with backup stories featuring Rocket Raccoon and Groot!
I'm happy now.
We3 is here.

It's pretty short, only three issues, and is centered around Wolverine and Domino. The story is nothing special, but delivers exactly what the title promise. The Assassins Guild are the main bad guys and The Hand shows up as well. The art by Gabriele Dell'Otto is amazing, definitely the best part about the whole miniseries.

Has anyone else read this? What did you think?
I finally finished reading Dreadstar issues 1-30 and it was great. Its a mixture of Sci-Fi/Cosmic. Both written and drawn by Jim Starlin. Its from the 80's, issues 1-30 covers 1982-87 :)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2F7%2F76%2FDreadstar_issue_1.jpg&hash=57188c8381adf24c7ece6cd8e6a365606f0f53cb)
Its like if Star Wars met Masters of the Universe. Its focuses on the adventures of Vanth Dreadstar and his crew--powerful mystic Syzygy Darklock, the cybernetic telepath Willow, cat-like humanoid Oedi, and a smuggler Skeevo. They're fighting against a fascist Church that rules the galaxy through genocide and fear.

Those characters are so awesome. I just picked Thanos Imperative: Devastation - One shot. Its the starting point for the upcoming Annihilators like you said.
Picked up volume 1 of The Walking Dead, going to read it tonight! ;D
EDIT: Read it and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to pick up volume 2! There are certain aspects of the comic that are better than the show, and certain aspects of the show that are better than the comic. I really love both of them!
EDIT: Reread it, and loved it again! Also, I noticed that the license plate on one of the police cars is 1337 :P
I loved The Walking Dead Comic but just couldn't get into the show for some reason. I always compare to the book.
Yeah I'm not so sure I'll watch season 2.
Well, I will, but I wont be in any hurry >_>
There are certain things about the show that I prefer, and certain things about the comic:
For example, Morgan and Duane, I felt, were better handled in the show, especially with the introduction of Morgan's wife. And I really like Daryl.
Spoiler
Oh, and Amy's rebirth was brilliantly done.
The comic, on the other hand, has more characterization for Carl, which I hope to see soon in the show, and I loved the ending scene with Shane. The shooting practice was good, and I like Alan and Donna, and I hope to see more of the twins.
I really like both, and am excited to see what directions they each take.
Finally got around to reading Thanos Imperative: Devastation. Paving the way to Annihilators. This has been the only book I really look forward to from Marvel lately. I like how they are bringing Cosmos more from the background an making him an important character.
Going to pick these up soon. F**k yeah.

cheap? how many issues do they include?
just read Dead Space Salvage, was pretty good, art reminded me of Arkham Asylum (the book, not the game :P)
Well a lot of the early Dredd stories were short self-contained mini stories. Volume 1 collects #2-60 and volume 2 collects issues #61-115
58 stories/issues in volume 1
54 stories/issues in volume 2

Im so excited for this, because I've always thought Dark Horses run on Godzilla kinda sucked.
Anyway,on TFAW I just updated my subscriptions,but I want to know what Baman:The Dark Knight is about.
(No, I dont mean the movie)I heard it's like supernatural and stuff but they dont give a good description.
I also subscibed to Godzilla Monster World,Batman, Detective Comics,Batman Streets of Gotham, and the upcoming Venom series that I know nothing about but it has Venom in it and that spells AWESOME
Looks great! I may have to check it out when it hits TPB!
To anyone who has Issue 7, Volume 2, Book 1, or the Compendium of TWD, can you answer a simple question for me? I am reading it now, but the page after Tyrese introduces himself and asks for food, and anyone tell me the first line on the very next page, because the transition of panels seems kind of awkward. I'm not sure if it is implied that him and Rick had a conversation, or if a page is missing from my book. Thanks in advance.
Tyrese: We had a pretty good set up before we ran out of food...
Quote from: First Blood on Jan 16, 2011, 12:48:16 AM
Tyrese: We had a pretty good set up before we ran out of food...
OK, thank you very much. I guess that it is just implied that Rick told hm his name, then.
Yep right before that... :)
Rick: I hear you...I was starting to think we were it. I am Rick.
Tyrese: Tyrese and this here is Julie and Chris. Do you guys have any food?
Well, now I feel stupid. I even reread that part abou 5 times.
Anyways, I just finished the volume, and I can't wait to get the next one! And that afterward was really good, too.

Glenn
returns soon.
I just finished the first compendium of TWD and my thoughts are
Spoiler
I cant wait to see how they do the prison on TV but im not sure of AMC is allowed to do all the raping stuff, which in my opinion wont be missed
The Walking Dead volume 3 was great! Now I can't wait to get 4 :P lots of spoiler's below
Spoiler
I noticed some similarities between Thomas and Edwin from Predators. Coincidence? I think not :P
I was really happy to see Glenn return, though I wasn't a fan of his haircut ;D
Rick went insane, like Shane did during the TV show. Crazy stuff.
I felt that the scene between Tyrese's daughter and her boyfriend didn't need to shown. It may have been better if they just entered the room and found her boyfriend, and then it picks up the way that it went.
And wow, I really though that Tyrese died. I'm glad that he didn't.
And I can't wait to see what goes down at the prison in the next volume.
Yeah volume 3 was great. I am only as far as volume 4. Haven't read anything past that volume yet.

How would you say 4 was in comparison to the first three?
Honestly it's a let-down campared to the first three.
But there a few bright spots.
Spoiler
A new character shows up: Michonne. She walks around with two swords.
Rick and Tyrese get into a epic fight.
The volume is still good, it just didn't hook me, like the first three did. You might enjoy it though - so go for it! :)
I didn't click your spoiler, but I'm sure some of them are bound to be slow and boring, considering that it is a chronicle of Rick's life. And from what I heard, the series reaches some of its best points when they meet
Spoiler
The Governor
later on.

The prison stuff was awesome what are you talking about?
Of course it is. But the prison stuff from volume 4 didn't hook me as much like the prison stuff in volume 3.
Doesn't 4 introduce Michonne? Because I can't wait to see what she is like!

Have you ever seen 28 Days Later? She's pretty much Selena. ;)
She's quite badass. Someone you wouldn't want to f**k with. She also sets her eye on Tyrese with giving too much away.

Darren Aronofsky's old Batman script is being turned into a comic. ;D
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=28122 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=28122)
CoF: Speaking of which, you've worked in the comic-book medium before, with your adaptation of The Fountain (2006), and the tie-in book to Pi. Do you ever feel like realising your vision of something like the Batman story that you were working on as a comic book?
DA: Well, we're actually doing one. It hasn't really been announced, I don't know if I should give you the scoop! But we're getting there. We're doing a comic book of a script that's really hard to make and we're going to do a comic version first and see what happens...

Am I the only one who hates it when they draw Supes with Christopher Reeves' face?
Just like they always draw Wolverine with Hugh Jackman's face since 2000 or Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire's face.
The great thing DC has done is hold the line for the price of comics at $2.99 to be true to the loyal fans who buy these books week in an week out. Marvel hasn't done this yet. The average book goes for $3.99 now which is getting out of hand. To show the $2.99 books DC has made promotional coversfor them that stick out on the shelves.

I seen the poster for that. You have to applaud DC for sticking at 2.99 - shows that the fans come first.
Read volume 4 of The Walking Dead. Only four books in, and I can't believe how dire the situation as already become. Rick is nothing like the man who woke up from the coma in the first volume and the TV series. I especially loved his speech at the end of the book.
Spoiler
I wasn't as big a fan of Tyrese and Michonne in this one. They are great characters, but i felt really bad for Carol. I wonder how Carol is going to be handled later on in the TV series, since her TV counterpart is distinctly different from her comic book version.
And I felt really bad for Alan. He was a cool dude. Crazy after the loss of his wife, but cool. he was one of those flawed characters that you just have to feel sorry for.
I can't wait to pick up Volume 5!

The great thing DC has done is hold the line for the price of comics at $2.99 to be true to the loyal fans who buy these books week in an week out. Marvel hasn't done this yet. The average book goes for $3.99 now which is getting out of hand. To show the $2.99 books DC has made promotional coversfor them that stick out on the shelves.
I seen the poster for that. You have to applaud DC for sticking at 2.99 - shows that the fans come first.
DC's quality is way better than Marvel so its more bang for the buck. ;)
I just read Green Lantern Corps #56. Tyler Kirkham's art is just awesome. To me this is the best Lantern book on the shelf every month.
Green Lantern Corps?
Deadpool Corps?
Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern?
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool?
That must mean that Deadpool and Green Lantern are the same person.

Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jan 23, 2011, 10:24:49 PMRead volume 4 of The Walking Dead. Only four books in, and I can't believe how dire the situation as already become. Rick is nothing like the man who woke up from the coma in the first volume and the TV series. I especially loved his speech at the end of the book.
Spoiler
I wasn't as big a fan of Tyrese and Michonne in this one. They are great characters, but i felt really bad for Carol. I wonder how Carol is going to be handled later on in the TV series, since her TV counterpart is distinctly different from her comic book version.
And I felt really bad for Alan. He was a cool dude. Crazy after the loss of his wife, but cool. he was one of those flawed characters that you just have to feel sorry for.
I can't wait to pick up Volume 5!
So, which do you prefer? The comics or the show?

Both for different reasons. For example,
Spoiler
Amy's death and added rebirth was much better in the TV series than the comic. And I loved the inclusion of Morgan's wife. Oh, and Daryl. Gotta love Daryl.
But the comic has, well, had, great characters like Allen and Donna that never made it to the TV series. I also felt that Carol was handled better in the book than on TV. And I feel like there are some more graphic elements of the comic that will never make it on TV.
So yeah, I like both, and allow them to coexist, as they both do the best that they can within the limits of their format. I can't wait for season 2 of the show, and I hope to pick up volume 5 soon, especially since I heard that that's when

Whilst he wasn't the greatest character, killing him for publicity wasn't necessary.
Also inb4 he's brought back by DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
He'll be back.
I am saddened by the death.
I finished reading:
Old man Logan - One of the greatest comics I have ever read, it was just amazing, and what happened with Wolverine that caused him to not break out his claws in close to 50 years was a shocker to me.
Powerless - Not great, not bad, it was average, but it was the kind of story that had you rooting for the good guys.
Ultimatum - This was even worse than what I've read and heard about. This is complete shit.
MARVELS - Amazing.

This April prepare for Herc #1 – an explosive new ongoing series from New York Times Best Selling writers Greg Pak & Fred Van Lente and artist Neil Edwards setting Marvel's baddest bone-breaker loose on a raging one-man beat down of the Marvel Universe's vicious criminal underground. And he won't be relying on his fists alone! Armed with the keys to Ares' abandoned armory, Hercules is ready to unleash three thousand years worth of brawling experience upon his foes while preparing to confront the perils of FEAR ITSELF!
"This ain't the heavenly spires of Mount Olympus, the plush comforts of Avengers Tower or some hot night club known where the body shots are on the house. Herc's in the dark alleys of the Marvel Universe—the mean streets of New York," said Senior Editor Mark Paniccia. "There's no one to watch his back and, if he doesn't play it smart, he can be maimed...or even killed. The easy days of life as a god are over."

It was okay. Couldn't stand WWH though.
Generally avoided his stuff ever since.
I quite enjoyed the sophistication and intelligence Pak brought to Hulk until Loeb made him a mumbling moron again, after WWH.
Magneto Testament was pretty good, but felt like it didn't really have enough mutants in it at the end.

maybe they are made of Asbestos.... just sayin'
are all the F4 that powerful at full strength?
Johnny Storm is powerful enough to go supernova.
Yeah but that means f**k all to the Annihilation wave.
Also just read Action Comics 897, Captain America 614 and Infestation 1. All were pretty awesome, even if Infestation had way too many characters I didn't recognise. Although none of them I enjoyed as much as FF 587.
Definitely start reading Action Comics if you're not though...

Hmm...well, I suppose since Deadpool's always been Marvel's version of Ambush Bug, its only fitting that they do the story where Ambush Bug tries to get a movie made starring himself. Only difference is Deadpool carries guns and swords, therefore is popular. That and uses much lower-brow humor.

""DEADPOOL: THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE" You may have heard there's a Deadpool movie in the works. Anyway, Wade Wilson's heard the same thing — and he's determined to tell his own story before Hollywood screws it up. Deadpool even hires his own screenwriter, who manages to get the Merc With a Mouth to open up like never before—revealing not only his origin story, but shocking details you've never heard before. We're talking Oscar™ -worthy stuff here, people. That is, unless Hollywood manages to screw it up anyway..."

On the bright side, the art looked nice and it felt good seeing Cap getting his useless ass handed to him by the Captain America of Vietnam.
Is Cap's personality always like that, or just Ultimates?
Only Ultimates. The real Cap is a nice guy, who respect his allies.
Just look at these two pictures and Cap's opinion about the french. The first is regular Cap and the second is Ultimate Cap.

All of Djurdjević's covers are collected inside anyhow, so you still get to see them in all their oversized glory. :P
Yeah but when you're shelling out for an omnibus, you want the cover of the damn thing to look the best. All the DD ones have great covers.

Bare in mind most omni's have limited printings done, and if the run is long, only collect half of it.

I've started reading Straczynski's run on Thor again, largely because your link to the omnibus reminded me Shasvre.
I had forgotten how awesome it is. :D
I agree. The art is fantastic and the story is well written. Even the small things, like the asgardians interacting with the townspeople is fun to read. Not to mention The Warriors Three. I don't know that much about them outside Straczynski's run, but here they are amazing. ;D
Yeah it's a nice little run. And seeing Thor slap around Ironman at the start is always good. :D

Kidd and Spear collaborated with the owner of the largest Captain Marvel collection to bring the reader the ultimate Captain Marvel book.While the comics have been collected and repackaged by DC Comics, there has never been a book about the related ephemera of this celebrated super hero, making this unique and beautiful book the first and definitive guide to this seminal super hero.Can't wait to take a look at what's inside. :)

You're a man of fine tastes. ;)
Thank you, kindly. As much as I love the current material. I am really drawn to the material from the 70's and 80's. :)
Specifically Chris Claremont & Dave Cockrum's Uncanny X-Men run.
I love comics from that era. Especially the 70s. They're all delightfully cheery and fun, even the ones that were considered fairly grim for the time like Miller's Daredevil.
I can literally pick up any Spider-Man comic from then and enjoy it...Now? Not so much. :D

I haven't read any FF so please excuse my ignorance, but why are there so many members?
Last I read was that the FF adopted a ton of f**king children.
Didn't Spider-Man join the F4 for a short time before back in the 60's or 70's?
With a paper bag over his head.
Not a fan of the new suit though.

Oh please...
Geoff Johns is
amazing. He took GL and made him an important piece of that Universe again. Flash as well. I like Marvel...
old Marvel. But DC is totally publishing more compelling material. Blackest Night was fantastic.
I just wish Marvel had writers like him. Brain Michael Bendis...maybe. Jonathan Hickman...possibly.
Just mah' 2 cents.
Marvel looks like it has no idea what to do anymore. DC on the other hand is looking very good compared to Marvel right now.

Whilst I agree that DC's the better company at the moment. It's Morrison who keeps me entertained.

Morrison's Batman run was an experience. The introduction of Damian Wayne, had me a bit hesitant at first. But I kinda grew to like the character. A bit weird but pretty entertaining. I totally dug Tony Daniel's run on Battle for the Cowl.
I can't understand what Morrison is saying. It's ridiculous that to this day I am still trying to figure it out.

OMFG, final crisis did not make f**king sense. Not one bit of it made sense. It was crazy. That's the only reason why I liked it, it was crazy.
A question to the Batman fans here. Is Batman: Streets of Gotham - Leviathan worth picking up? I haven't read the first volume yet, can you still jump right into the second? I've heard that Huntress is in this, which makes me wanna give it a try.

Pretty good, was kinda hard to keep track of some stuff when the timeline kept shifting though. I never realised how f**king powerful Ultron was until that last battle. Makes me wish they would use him for one of the Avengers movies. The art looked great as well. I was never a big fan of John Romita Jr, but his art have grown on me and now I really like it.
I would rate it 7/10.
Thought it was pretty good as well. I like the humor bits Bendis throws in there every now and again. It was also nice to see Kang in there doing his thing.

Never happend in the comic though, as far as I could see.
I was just looking this up on every comic website there is (TFAW, DCCOMICS,mycomicshop, ect) and, what happened to the All Star Batman and Robin sequel, Dark Knight: Boy Wonder? I mean, it was scheduled to come out this month, and there's nothing on it. Basically all news dropped off after summer.Here it is if you didn't know about it...

I love the concept of Miller's creative canon for Batman.
There are literally two different Miller incarnations of Bruce for each era of his life that Miller wrote. In the early days we have the driven, altruistic Bruce Wayne from Year One, and the psychopath asshole from All Star. In the old man days we have born again Bruce filled with new purpose and meaning from TDKR, and then we have the psychopath asshole from TDKSA. Bruce really goes in circles doesn't he. :laugh:
It's a shame because when Miller writes Batman well, he owns the character.
Last I heard of him, he was developing another Batman story with Bruce fighting Al-Qaeda terrorists. ::)
It's a shame to see such a talent slowly lose his mind...

Last I heard, that wasn't going to happen anymore.
Yeah he really went insane after 9/11. I mean, look at him. He screwed TDKSA and he writes out of anger now.I've heard and seen him appear at alot of 9/11 memorials and stuff too.
He's basically turned into a propaganda writer, and it's a shame, because I love his work. (Other than TDKSA)
He should stick to drawing, take a break from writing and get back into it once he's a bit more sane.
Agreed.
Is he like actually insane, or more just egotistical rambling?
Anyway, infamous 2's comic should be in the special edition, if anyone cares :P

Just read the first three issues of Carnage. The story is nothing special, but the art is amazing. Besides, it nice to see him back in the game, even though the symbiote currently isn't possessing Kletus. Looks like that could change pretty soon though...

What do you mean it could change pretty soon? Besides the image that clearly shows a male host, what other hints do these three issues show that Cassidy might end up coming back?

Just read the Kevin Smith scripted Daredevil - Guardian Devil. Was really good for about 3/4 of the way through, but the climax was a bit of a let down considering the setup.

Years Back I got a pair of figures of a series of toys that involved Spider-Man characters transform into Animals or Monsters. I had three. Spider-Man with a Red/Silver/Gold color scheme, and he transformed into a Spider. Lizard, with a weird blue toned skin and the usual lab coat, that transformed into an Alligator. And Venom, Black-purple and white color scheme, that transformed into a weird three-headed Hydra. Anyone remember this toyline?

I hate how Marvel puts out lousy One shot books that I really don't care about. I pick it up because its a Favorite character an the story an art is just horrible. Why waste the time making it besides for sales.
I just read Spider-Man: With Great Power... and I really liked it. It takes place after Peter got his powers, but before Uncle Ben was killed. The focus lies on his wrestling career and how he handles the fame it has brought him. It's very well written and the art looks great in my opinion.

It definitely looks like Marc Webb took some inspiration from this book for the movie suit. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the story is incorporated into the movie plot as well. I could see how some of it might work pretty well.

I enjoyed it for what it was. Some of Arkham's most notorious play a game of baseball together. But, personally it wasn't as good as his other work, Haunted Knight, Long Halloween and Dark Victory. Still a good read though.
Just read some issues of Streets of Gotham. Never heard of this Firefly guy before, but he was a pretty interesting villain. Same goes for Zsasz, a f**ked up bastard. Did notice him in Batman Begins, but I don't think I ever seen him in the comics before.

To start off?
Well...
I'd recommend the Howard Mackie stuff, but that's hard to find collected IIRC so I'd go with Aaron's run if you know nothing. It's fairly self explanatory.
However for stuff that's even easier to get into, just read the Ennis minis. You could know next to nothing about Ghost Rider and they'd be fine.
OK thanks, do you have any pictures of the TPBs so I know what I'm looking for? :)
Just finished Millar's Nemesis (1-4) and it was a fun read. Not good, mind you, but fun. Plenty of gore and action, along with some decent twists. Well worth the money I paid for the hardcover at least.

The story follows an ex-supervillain named Zack Overkill, currently in witness protection. During the six issues the story runs for we get to see him reclaim his powers, try out his new life as a crime fighter and duke it out with his former associates. It's a solid story and the artwork is really nice as well. I would give it a 8/10.
If you haven't read it already, check it out.
I finally got around to getting volume 5 of The Walking Dead...
...Oh my God...Its terrible, absolutely terrible. Not the book itself, but what's happening. I need to get the next one.
I haven't been following the specific volumes, so what happened in #5? Was it The Governor?
His first appearance.
And what an introduction that was...makes me wonder what he's going to do next...
So, anyone else read World of New Krypton? I really enjoyed the look into kryptonian culture. I'm going to get Last Stand of New Krypton next. Have read some of the issues already, but not the whole thing from beginning to end.

This volume goes farther than any of the previous ones have. I usually hate that stuff (and I did hate it in this volume), but the more I read, the more I have to know what happens next.

Personally I don't mind Way's run on Deadpool, but I wish he didn't make the character a constant joke. After reading more of Joe Kelly's Deadpool run I have to say that Joe Kelly is my personal favourite Deadpool writer thus far.
Because Kelly actually treats him like a character rather than a punchline.

:laugh: I like everything he writes. I agree with ya but he does have some funny stuff he throws in there. Kelly was the Claremont for Deadpool to me. The current series will never be like Kelly's because the character has already been explored in the more "Personal" way as you say. I will admit the stories so far now don't have any real implications that really matter to me but I'm liking the whole going into space idea. Looks fun so far.

ok, i'll have a look, i read Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness ages ago and it was pretty awesome,
talking of lovecraftian, i just read a GN called "Lovecraft" it was kind of a dramatization of lovecraft's life, but if the Necronomicon was real, and he read it and gained access to an alternate dimension where he got his inspiration, it was pretty good, and the art was cool.

True dat.
Just read The Boys (We Gotta Go Now) - f**kin' sold!
the boys is so awesome, i have al the trades so far, shave Darick stopped drawing later on but the dip in art quality is soon remedied, and it's pretty awesome, can't wait for the next tpb!
The Boys was pretty good, even though I like my heroes a bit more... heroic. But yeah, it had some interesting characters, as well as plenty of crude humor and violence. Sometimes it all seemed a little overdone though.
i agree, but i don't expect anything less from Ennis so why should i be disappointed?
Word.
I've been aware of the series for yonks but only ever flipped through a few issues. They had volume four at the librrary but none of the earlier ones so I resisted getting into it, thinking I'd be coming into a story already in progress. In the end I thought stuff it, and yea verily twas awesome. Very black pisstake on the X-Men.
Started reading Sandman vol 1 last night too. Unfortunately it's the size of a large atlas so not train reading.
Only scanned the first few pages - what struck me was Sam Keith's artwork. For years people have rightly slated Aliens Earth War for it's crappy art. Keith's defenders/ fans have largely agreed saying he wasn't a good choice for Ailens, but his other work is very good. From what I've seen so far, Sandman tends towards Aliens Earth War. Ugh...
Quote from: AvatarIII on Mar 01, 2011, 10:03:22 PMi agree, but i don't expect anything less from Ennis so why should i be disappointed?
I don't know, I expected something better after reading Punisher. :-\
Still, I'm not unhappy about The Boys. I'm very much looking forward to the movie.
i've been up to about volume 8 of sandman for ages, it's good it just goes on for so long, i had to take a break.
the boys is good at being self contained in each volume but having an over reaching arc aswell, a well planned series
Its not that Keith's art ever gets any better, its just that he's better suited to books like Sandman and The Maxx. Aside from Watchmen, Sandman is probably my favorite comic ever. Its just a wonderful example of what the medium is capable of. Volume 2, The Doll's House, is one of four graphic novels I always recommend to someone wanting to start in to comics, along with Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, and Kingdom Come. Which one I recommend first depends on the person's personality type.

Well, I always wanted to break into comics, and I will take my shot at DC just for you Huol.
I bought volumes 6 and 7 of The Walking Dead today. Just finished 6. The storytelling keeps getting better and better...But the stuff happening, it's terrible...Michonne...The Governor...Martinez and Rick.
I'll read 7 later...I need a break.

I used to be a huge fan of Wolverine but with the constant relaunches an multiple books on the shelves every month the stories have become stale an with really no growth just more of the same. I own every issue of Wolverine an the new stuff just doesn't measure up to the classic runs like Claremont & Hama. Hama wrote the character the best to me in regards to exploring Logan's humanity.
Wolverine - The Best There is - Has got to be the worst run yet on the character. All gore with no story.
Finished Nemesis.

Shasvre hooked me up with Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe. Not long enough! I wanted to see a bit more how Punisher took these guys down where so many others had failed. It was a bit too easy in most cases. Good ending though.

At least in the Beatles one, no matter how horrible the writing, at least the Beatles looked like the Beatles. In the Pink Floyd Excremience, Roger Waters looks like Roger Waters about 25% of the time. Nick Mason looks like he did in the early 70s for his entire life. And Rick and Dave never look like Rick and Dave. Steve O'Rourke looks like Captain America without the hood. Alan Parker looks like John Lennon shovelling spaghetti in Magical Mystery Tour. Syd sometimes looks like Syd. Every woman has bit tits tiny waist, curvy arse and torn jeans - whether it's the 1960s or 1980s.
And it's riddled with errors. Thank Christ I never paid money for it.

Well, I guess his idea in #82 makes sense in a way, but it's still a really cold thing to do. It's involving children, that much I can give away. ;)
Gah, I need to get caught up!
Hopefully this weekend I can pick up volume 8.
I really should have went with the compendium.
I read a pretty cool comic called 'The Identity Disc' yesterday and I really liked it.
QuoteIn the story, a who's who of Marvel Villains "team up" to steal the Identity Disc, which supposedly contains data on every Marvel hero, including their relatives and credit reports. The plot is largely inspired by the film The Usual Suspects.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_Disc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_Disc)
Deadpool's featured and that's mainly why I read it, but the other characters who I never really liked before were actually really cool in here.

"I never gave it a thought. I guess common sense would say it was made of orange rock too." said Lee. "But I always thought it was more interesting to think about Reed Richards. As you know, he had the ability to stretch, and sexually, that would seem to be a great asset in many areas."
The 88-year-old Lee was then asked if he will continue working until he is found dead in his office in a pool of ink. Lee replied: "I don't intend to die."
Love that last line. ;D

He looks less like Thor and more like a guy from an 80's rock band.
One of the 90's designs I actually liked was King Thor.

Did ultimate deadpool ever come back?
I know he was in the spidey game but they pretty much just gave him 616's personality.
I don't think he did, He died at the end of the Ultimate Spider-Man issues, I think Shadow Cat planted a grenade inside him or something. I was kinda distracted by how terrible it all was to actually care.
Nah he wakes up at the end and has his "I'll be back!" moment.
I read Volume 8 of The Walking Dead.
Honestly, what can be said that wasn't already said? I think I'm going to take a break before I pick up Volume 9. I'm going to reread the whole series first.
I can't believe how good the series is, and how much Robert Kirkman isn't afraid to do. I wonder how much of this will make it on TV...?

Thanks. :)
I don't think he did ever come back, I'll have a look around and see what I can find.
No loss if he didn't.
Yeah I just had a look on a few results from Google and it seems he just showed up in Ultimate Spider-Man and never returned.
I just found out that there has been a tenth issue of All-Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder out all the way since 2008. Now why in perfect hell wasn't that included in the hardcover edition? >:(

That's a good question. I have the hardcover as well. It's a guilty pleasure of sorts. But seeing that this series is moving at a snails pace, I doubt Miller or Lee still have any ambition to continue it. :-\
If you find a good link with issue ten, can you send it to me via PM?

Miller and Lee was supposed to continue the series as
Dark Knight: Boy Wonder, with the first issue coming out last month. It still haven't been released though, so I guess it got delayed. No word on another release date either.

OK guys, something I've been thinking of recently.
I'm up to issue #29 on the Joe Kelly Deadpool run, and the dispute about his identity is starting. I've heard of this dispute before and part of it was explored in Cable & Deadpool, during which Deadpool stated that 'it depends on which writer you like best', but who do you guys think is the true Wade Wilson?
T-Ray or Deadpool?
Deadpool. I always chalked it up to TRay doing anything to f**k with DP.
I completely agree there, I may be biased seeing as I much prefer Deadpool, but I do believe that he is the true Wade Wilson due to some of the alternate universe Deadpool's having the name 'Wade' among some other points.
Finally got around to finishing deadpool classic vol 2
<3 typhoid mary
Typhoid Mary is pretty damn awesome. I love how she is one of the only people to make Deadpool completely lose it.

"BATMAN INCORPORATED #8
Written by GRANT MORRISON
Art by SCOTT CLARK
Cover by CHRIS BURNHAM
1:25 Variant cover by SCOTT CLARK
When Waynetech's launch of Interworld is plagued by a series of "virtual murders," Batman teams up with Oracle to hunt down the culprit in a simulated environment that's slowly collapsing into post-apocalyptic zombie-haunted chaos. A computer-generated Batman adventure that brings Dark Knight justice to a wild new frontier, to face a new and virulent menace. In a world of numbers, does everything have a price?"

Light bringer you say? Bring a bucket?
I am not sure whether the bucket is for tears, or for vomit, but I will do so later today, and I will then know what the bucket is for. (no school tomorrow, nothing to worry about)
A bathtub is probably better.
There will be large quantities of vomit pouring out of your mouth.
I didn't really care for Linkara myself, but he did have some good points when it comes to certain comics though. Still, I only watch his videos when waiting for a new NC video to show up. :laugh:
The Boys : Herogasm - can haz moar plz?
Hellblazer : Pandemonium - Not quite as strong without Ennis in the chair, but still the character is so well established now, even bad stories (of which this certainly isn't) would probably still work. I dig.
Just caught up on the new Superboy series. Surprisingly good stuff, very retro-cool, and some beautiful art by Pier Gallo.
Haven't read it yet, but I noticed this week that Tony Daniel has finally left Batman, thank God. None of his stuff was bad, but it was just so bland. I'm really hoping we get some Batman stories that actually interest me for longer than it takes me to turn the pages.
Read Batman inc.
Batman and Son, Three ghosts of batman, Black Glove, Batman RIP, Batman and Robin, batman #700-702, Return of Bruce Wayne, Batman: the return, Batman Inc.
Oh, trust me, I've read/am reading all of those. Just hoping that the core Batman book heats up a bit.
Right now, Batman Beyond is probably the best bat-title going.

LET IT BE SO!
I just finished reading the whole 'Who is Deadpool?' storyline, I really liked it. Thought the whole T-Ray/Deadpool interaction was great and it is slightly confusing toward the end but 'Cable & Deadpool' clears up the whole thing. :)
Spoiler
"Many years later Deadpool's nemesis T-Ray accused Deadpool of killing his wife and stealing his identity after a failed mission, but Deadpool's restored memories revealed this to be a lie; in T-Ray's account Wade was wearing his Deadpool costume, which he didn't have in till after he joined Weapon X."

I think he worked fine. He looked and behaved a bit stiff, which made sense given the character he was playing. But he had some funny moments as well. At least he felt like Alfred to me, something Michael Caine never did. He's just... well, Michael Caine.

Guess thats what happens with no spidey sense
What happened to his spider sense?
He built a bomb to disrupt it cause some monster dudes had it too.
But he got caught in the blast.
That sounds kinda lame.

I don't really plan on reading much Spider-Man at all since I heard of the storylines that basically retconned his entire life.

Although I like Joey Q's art. ^_^
WHAT THE f**k?!
SPIDER-MAN, WTF?!
No Spider-Sense?!!
Any faith I had in MARVEL is no fully gone, I swear, I had the tiniest amount of hope, but now it's gone.
I dunno taking away his spidey sense seems pretty interesting to me.
I just can't have me a Spidey that can't have his Spider Sense. But if Marvel has made Spider-Man invincible, and decided that this would make him vulnerable, and gives an awesome storyline, then I guess I'll shrug off this hate that I have right now.

'ken oath.
Volumes 9 and 10 of The Walking Dead...
Spoiler
I forgot how different the series was back when the characters were on the run. Not holed up in the prison for so long...I think they forgot, too. I hate to say it, but I'm inclined to agree with Dale. I don't trust Rick...at all. He is no longer the kind man he was when he woke up in the hospital.
But he's not the only one that changed...The highlight of the two volumes was Morgan's return. I felt terrible aobut his son, and just like in the TV show with his wife, he couldn't bring himself to kill his reanimated family member. But what he used his son for, to keep himself safe and people out...he seems like he has taken the same path Rick has...I feel really bad for him, morese than I do for Rick. Rick is becoming cold, but like he says, he needs to to survive and protect Carl.
Speaking of Rick, his "conversations" with Lori were another great addition to the story. Really tragic stuff...made me sympathize with Michonne talking to herself, or as she says, her dead botfriend.
I hope Morgan turns out OK, like his old self. Maybe now that hes around people, he will be fine...Rick, on the other hand, hes losinbg it...and so is Carl.
Great two volumes! I can not wait until I get caught up.
Without giving too much away, Rick will pull himself back together, but still keep the crazy inside of him. The latest issue was a perfect example of that. He doesn't look like a broken man, he doesn't seem crazy, but he's one cold bastard now.
Spoiler
The more I see Rick, the more I see the Governor. Actually, I see a little bit of the Governor in everybody. The Governor was the perfect example of evil, and Rick's group, while not trying to, has become almost as cold and heartless as him. Rick will kill if they take what he wants, Morgan's refusal to kill his chained up zombie-child, Dale's willingness to abandon his friends...The Governor shines through a little in everyone.
Its tragic, but it makes for great, emotional storytelling. I can not wait until I am caught up.
Also, I have one question about the Twins:
Spoiler
Dale mentioned that they liked playing with the cats in the barn, and we see one twin playing with a dead cat...I'm assuming that he killed it? Or was it like that?

But you just wait. There is some f**ked up shit that is going to happen when it comes to the twins. And Carl for that matter. It's without doubt two of the most shocking moments in the comics.
The twin one won't be a surprise to me. It is, unfortunately, one of the things I read online before I ever thought I would be reading the comics. Another being
Spoiler
Lori's death. Still, it was very shocking and saddening, so hopefully the twin scene is the same.
The Carl thing, I have absolutely no idea what you mean. I can't wait to find out.
There are only two more issues before Volume 14 comes out, right? And then, after that, I'll have to wawit about 6 months?

The Carl thing has something to do with the twins, so you'll know it when you see it. ;)
Not sure, I don't really know how many issues are collected in each volume. I know there's 12 in each hardcover, but how many are there in the paperbacks?
Six in each TPB. So I assume six months, but I'm not sure if they wait a few monts ufter the sixth issue to release the TPB. Obviously I'm new to comic books :P Probably I'm not a big fan of comics in general, just The Walking Dead. I like comics, and appreciate their storytelling, but I just can't seem to get into them the way I do with movies. My loss, I guess. I did pick up an old Hulk TPB by Stan Lee today for cheap though, just incase I ever want to readit.
There's bound to be some MCU comics sooner or later, you can always read them. :)

I am so f**king ready for both of these.
My god I am so hyped for the return of the Scarlet Swashbuckler. Grim Daredevil, as much as I love him, has had his fair share of great stories. Time for some fun ones I think.
I'd probably be reading both of them if I wasn't so down on Marvel at the moment.
As it is, I'm restricting myself to stuff written by either Abnett'n'Lanning or Paul Cornell.
So, anyone else thinks Superman looks pretty much like Cavill here? I wonder if that were done on purpose.

Just read Fear Itself - Book of the Skull #1, which I believe is the first issue in the whole Fear event. The story deals with Red Skull's daughter looking for an spell book that Skull used during WWII to make a deal with the "heavens", which in this case seems to be connected to the Asgardians, because they managed to summon a Frost Giant along with a hammer they intended to use as a weapon against the Allies. Neither Skull or any of the nazis could lift the hammer though, you have to be "worthy". A decent story so far, could definitely be interesting.
Seems a little strange to go directly from Siege to another event that is connected to the Asgardians. Could be because Thor and Captain America is coming out soon.
Keep me updated.

Those were great, thank you. I am looking forward to DD, but Punisher is what I am really excited about. Rucka seems to know what he wants to do and it should make for some great reading.
Rucka is a great choice for Frank.
But anything that looks like it could be good Daredevil gets me all kinds of wet, so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for that the most.
Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov are doing a Nick Fury MAX series. :)

From my point of view, it was pretty funny. Can't really say I'm a Deadpool fan or really care what direction the comic is taking though. So from a fan's point of view, then it might be horrible.

Just read Fury (MAX) 1-6 by Garth Ennis. Pretty good and extremely violent. Reminded me a lot of the Punisher MAX series. They kept things pretty real as well, just like they did with Punisher.

I'll post what I said to Shobidoo over IM, bearing in mind these are just my opinions.
QuoteDeadpool used to be a character treated with respect, he had dramatic, emotional elements as well as the hilarious and action-packed ones. He had depth as a character and was cared about by his writers.
Over the years he's gradually lost his depth as a character and became more about jokes rather than dramatic and emotional elements within his stories.
Presently he's a f**king clown with no depth, and gag after gag after gag with absolutely no dramatic or emotional storylines, just gags. And more gags.
Deadpool works because he's a traumatic character who needs the emotional and dramatic elements, take that away and just leave the action and the humour and he's ridiculous. A mockery to the former writers and fans.

Deadpool Classic v1 has Deadpool's first appearance and his first two solo storylines, and Classic v2, 3 and 4 has the Joe Kelly stuff, I imagine v5 will be the end of the Joe Kelly era though seeing as it ends at #33 and v4 goes up to #25.
The Joe Kelly stuff is the best.

So he's not as good as he used to be. So what? There's still plenty of stories where he was a good character and the newer stuff doesn't change that (as you've just outlined). Marvel and DC have always played it pretty loose with continuity in characters anyway. I'm only a recent convert to Hellblazer, but if they started treating Constantine with more humour than they should, I don't think I'd care since there's stacks of stories where the character is treated with respect. I just wouldn't bother with the stories where he isn't treated with respect.

Next.
The second image is cool. Red Hulk made me stop reading Hulk comics, I wish they killed him off already.
I honestly wish he was never introduced, so much shit changed with the entire Hulk family and related characters, that I can't even shake my head at it anymore.
Hows the original Hulk stuff? I bought some old Hulk TPB from '78, I think, that I want to read.
Don't ask me, I'm just a casual reader.
The Hulk comics from the 60's and 70's from Stan Lee, are pretty good. The chances are that you could find paper backs of them, but they might be in B&W though.

Yeah, but when you've been following a character for years, seeing his/her stories get worse and worse and his/her character become more and more two dimensional is never nice.

So he's not as good as he used to be. So what? There's still plenty of stories where he was a good character and the newer stuff doesn't change that (as you've just outlined).
Yeah, but when you've been following a character for years, seeing his/her stories get worse and worse and his/her character become more and more two dimensional is never nice.
Of course it's disappointing. But it's also inevitable at some point.
Not to mention that there isn't a comic book character that haven't had a goofy cover over the years. There are more serious characters than Deadpool that have been made fun of in their own comics.
Wolverine being one of them. He's so overexposed he deserves a good joke at his expense once in a while.

But why would you even take it seriously? They're constantly redoing and retconning superhero stuff.
I'll post what I said to Shobidoo over IM, bearing in mind these are just my opinions.
QuoteDeadpool used to be a character treated with respect, he had dramatic, emotional elements as well as the hilarious and action-packed ones. He had depth as a character and was cared about by his writers.
Over the years he's gradually lost his depth as a character and became more about jokes rather than dramatic and emotional elements within his stories.
Presently he's a f**king clown with no depth, and gag after gag after gag with absolutely no dramatic or emotional storylines, just gags. And more gags.
Deadpool works because he's a traumatic character who needs the emotional and dramatic elements, take that away and just leave the action and the humour and he's ridiculous. A mockery to the former writers and fans.
So he's not as good as he used to be. So what? There's still plenty of stories where he was a good character and the newer stuff doesn't change that (as you've just outlined). Marvel and DC have always played it pretty loose with continuity in characters anyway. I'm only a recent convert to Hellblazer, but if they started treating Constantine with more humour than they should, I don't think I'd care since there's stacks of stories where the character is treated with respect. I just wouldn't bother with the stories where he isn't treated with respect.

What Aeus said. :-\
What I said.
This could go back and forth with me quoting Aeus and you quoting yourself so I suggest we just agree to disagree, kinda.
I'm not disagreeing. I just don't think it's worth getting that annoyed about.
Well that's like, your opinion and shit.
Bro.
True dat.
Or maybe "butthurt" is more accurate...
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's an opinion brought on due to the fact I care for the character.

I don't really know what to make of this. The story centers around a mysterious vanishing, where a million people all over earth just disappeared in the blink of an eye, among them Lois Lane. I guess it's pretty well written, but it's the kind of story I would have to read a couple of times to really understand. The narration from different characters is pretty clever and Superman's small chats with the priest is interesting as well. The art is gorgeous and made me really appreciate Lee's Superman. It's the kind of Superman I would love to see in a live-action movie.
Has anyone else read this? What did you think?

It's shit.
Azzarello is a terrible choice as a writer for Superman and it shows. Especially in the dialogue, holy shit.
I used to like this, and for the life of me I don't know why. I'm not even that much of a Jim Lee fan.
I can accept that Superman wasn't his usual self in this, he seemed to be in shock most of the time after all. Still, I wouldn't go so far as to call it shit.
So FF1 was pretty f**king awesome.
Definitely need to add this series to my buy list.

Uncle DOOM.
I really need to pick up the volumes of Hickmans FF run. I've only read random issues.
I was told it was actually pretty good.
hrm
Yeah. I downloaded it thinking it would be shitty, but I was completely wrong.
Gonna pick it up tomorrow with Batman inc. Yah know, if yah like it buy it and all that. :D
I hope there's more copies left over next month. (at the store i go to)
Hah, we don't have that problem in the UK.
There's always enough copies because there's never enough people buying them. :D
But even if my local is out of the issue I want, I've got a back up store so I'm gooooood.
I'll probably wait for this to be collected. Most of the shit I'm planning to buy is all collected, and that's the only way I can ever read a series of books without picking them up every week.

Just went to a store nearby that sells old books and picked up some old comics. First was Frank Miller's Wolverine in Japan story, then there were two Punisher storys as well. One where he's fighting a drug cartel in Bolivia and one where international terrorists attack New York.
They're written in swedish though, so does anyone know the name of the two Punisher stories?

David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Crossed, Daredevil vs Punisher).
It seems to be a pretty vulgar Deadpool series, and has got some good reviews. I think I might pick this up.

(Screencap from The X-Files 5x20 - The End)
Wasn't Tony Jay voicing Galactus in that show?
Nope. Twas James Blendick.
The only really notable actor on that show was John Neville (The X-Files Well-Manicured Man) as Eternity.
ah it was Tony Jay in the F4 series
The Silver Surfer cartoon was pretty cool, even though it lasted like 13 something episodes. I remember they had lunchables of the TV show back in '98.
I loved the Silver Surfer TV show. At some point they stopped airing it though. :(
I bought Volumes 11, 12, and 13 of TWD!
So far I read 11 and 12, and boy, this series does not disappoint.
Spoiler
11 was another depressing volume, pushing the series farther than I thought it would go. The Ben and Billy stuff was terrible, and Dale, I think his death was the easiest to accept so far. In a world surrounded by death and tragedy, when he pretty much accepted that he was dying, and made his last moments happy, I was a little happy, too. He was no longer suffering in that world. I miss him, but it wasn't as tragic as some of the other deaths. It was brilliantly written. Also, the stuff with Rick and the hunters, I didn't think he would ever regain his humanity after that.
And in 12, to my amazement, things were actually...happy. It was such a change of pace. I think this is the next big event, like the Governor arc, but different...very different. Carl is the only one that is miserable, and I am amazed that they were able to characterize a child so much. I hope the TV show is able to do that effectively. The ending, with where we find out Glenn was faking being drunk, really caught me off guard. I can't wait to see what happens in 13.
Hopefully I get a chance to read 13 today. And when that's finished, I tihnk its only about two months until 14!

I loved the Silver Surfer TV show. At some point they stopped airing it though. :(
I miss the days of Fox Kids. I loved awaking up watching Spider-Man, Power Rangers, X-Men, F4, GTS, Digimon, Goosebumps, and so much more as a kid.
I just read that TWD is meant to have a 300 issue run! And that Kirkman already planned out the first 150 issues!
man, the series isn't even a third over yet! I'm so glad I'm reading this. Gotta read Volume 13 later tonight.

While doing some research, I just found out about a Walking Dead Survivor's guide, being released in four parts. Anyone heard anything about this? Looks pretty cool. If they collect the four parts in one book, I may pick it up.
Geoff Johns will relaunch Aquaman. :)

Some of you might be tired of Johns, but I think he did an amazing job with Green Lantern, Superman and The Flash.
Its not that I'm tired of Johns - I go back and read his runs on Teen Titans, Booster Gold, and (the initial run on) Flash, and I still think they're brilliant. Right now, though, it seems like Johns is tired of Johns. Like Bendis, he kind of seems like he's going through the motions these days.
Started reading some more of Christopher Priest's Deadpool run and the issue where he gains the power of Thor is certainly a great one. :D Hopefully this run is just as good as Joe Kelly's, but it'll certainly be hard to top.

i've only read his JSA run, (which is great, check it out if you haven't) and like an issue of blackest night. i've always felt aquaman gets a bad rep, when utilised right he can be an interesting character, i'd love to see what GJ does with him.
Loved Peter David's run on Aquaman, but no one else ever really 'got' him. Probably will skip this one, just because I'm spending so much money elsewhere with DC right now - there are seven monthly titles right now with "batman" in the title, not counting Batwoman, Batgirl, Red Robin, or Gotham City Sirens.
Never gave my thoughts on TWD 13 yesterday...
Spoiler
One of my favorite things in the series at this point is Carl. For the past few volumes, I feel that he has completely stolen the show. I really loved the scene when he found out that Rick still carries the phone. Really sad stuff. I feel that, if Rick dies at any point in the series, Carl will certainly be able to fill his place, not as leader of the group, but as the main character. And really, things aren't looking so well for Rick. Rick seems to have regained a bit of his humanity, but the things he has done in the past still weigh down on him. He's still making some poor choices. And now, it seems like the man in charge (whose name slips my mind at the moment), left him in charge of the community.
I can't wait for Volume 14 to come out in a few months! I think he most recent issue was 82, and Volume 14 is set to collect 79-84. I don't know how I'll be able to survive the wait between 14 and 15...maybe I will start picking up the issues, but then my OCD will yell at me for not being consistent, and my wallet will yell at me for the cost...
There are... other ways of reading TWK you know. ;)
Speaking of it, I read the first five issues earlier today and boy was Rick different back then. Andrea too for that matter, even though she have managed to go through the series with her sanity intact.

Yeah, because Kirkman obviously doesn't deserve to make any money from creating TWD. And certainly, comic shops don't deserve to actually stay open, I mean, that would just be ridiculous.

Yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised that Andrea is still so...normal. Even after the people she's killed. Maybe its because she never got a chance to meet any of them, they were just working for people she hated.

That's one other reason I would like to start buying the actual issues and not the TPBs, but there is not a single comic shop near me. :( I guess I make up for it by supporting the baseball card store near me.

Or maybe you missed the part where he's going to buy the collected editions anyway, thus making sure Kirkman & Co gets what they deserve. As for myself, there isn't a store I know of that sell the single issues of TWD, so I've been getting the hardcovers whenever they're available. But I'm sure as hell not waiting 12 issues before I can read them. :P
Anyone going to be getting these? I might if they become a TPB afterward.

Sorry. You know how touchy I am about piracy. Especially since I've been sitting in my shop empty virtually all day today. I still disagree with doing it that way, since you're choosing to purchase a product that isn't released until after a certain number of printings of the initial material, but I don't disagree enough to argue about it.

I can understand that you don't like piracy. As for buying the hardcovers instead of single issues, it's not like I have much of a choice. Only way to get them would be to import, and then the shipping would be five times the price of the comic itself.

There isn't a single comic book shop in my area so I have to wait for the TPBs to be released online, but if there was a local comic book shop I'd be in it as many times as possible. :-\
There is one place not very far from me that sells comics, but they don't have much since their focus is sci-fi books and such. And all they have are collected editions as well, no single issues at all.

No don't say that woooord.

As much and as often as I get pissed off by the lack of people reading comics these days, it pisses me off even more when people are part of that minority that still reads, and yet they feel they're entitled to steal them rather than actually help support a slowly dying industry.

I feel the same, not just about comics, but movies and music, too. I support iTunes, as much as I don't like online stuff, but st least I'm paying for the music. people always question my fairly large movie collection, asking why I don't just download them. I want to support the industry, and I just feel better actually owning a physical copy of the film. I really hope movies don't go the way of music...
I'm really happy for Spotify when it comes to music. ;D

Subscriptions hand it to comic shops just as much as downloads do, and most people who enjoy the good shit they download buy it in a collected edition when it's released anyway.

I can see the appeal of Spotify, but it kind of makes me sad. In a way, having that Star Trek future where Picard can just say "Computer, Vivaldi", and it starts playing Vivaldi is a nice technological ideal, but it do depersonalizes music, and it makes it less important in the ears of the listener. iPods, mp3s, and the like have already gone a long way towards turning music into mere background noise, and services like spotify only continue the trend, to the point where people who actually care about something enough to want to own a physical copy of it are considered social pariahs.
I also don't see how its financially sound. Obviously, they've had to work out deals with all the different record labels and artists to feature that music on their service, but the sheer fact that they do that takes away almost all impetus to actually spend any money with them. I prefer it quite a bit to pirating, and I do think that it probably represents the future, but its not a future that particularly excites me.

I still get my comics and collected editions from the brick and mortar stores. Many people that I know of order their books from online retailers like Forbidden Planet or Tales of Wonder. But I am willing to support a local store in my neighborhood as long as they're willing to get books that I ask for. :)
I've been getting TWD at Boarders, since I have weekly coupons coming in my email from there. Without coupons, that's almost $200 worth if books. So I definitely had to buy form the big store to save myself some money.
Now that I'm caught up, maybe I'll find a close enough comic shop to go to every 6 months to get thx next volume.
So Jonathan Hickman might just be my favourite person ever at the moment.
Beacause of FF?
Yeah, I'm going through his run on Fantastic Four.
I haven't really kept track on who wrote the FF that I've read. I do remember liking Straczynski's short run on the series though.
Jonathan Hickman did the first issue of the new FF, right? I liked it, even though it wasn't fantastic or anything. :-\
Yeah he's the writer on Future Foundation.

Godzilla Kingdom of Monster #1
Fitzgerald's review and detailed summary
Well first off let me say that Eric Powell did a fantastic job with this cover. I chose cover B (shown above) which pulls out to form a poster style cover. This issue serves as basically what can only be described as am origin story for Godzilla. The first page features a simple scene of two kids playing on a beach when The Big G makes his entrance. They chose a rather amusing entrance for our monster king as he bursts from the very ground, ala Godzilla vs. Mothra but much more bad ass. They throw "everything our airforce had" at him and solve nothing. They then do what most of us would do as well if there was an indestructible mother f**king monster in the ocean heading towards Tokyo. They nuke him; but this isn't the end of the Big G and in fact this causes him to develop his iconic atomic breath. On the last page US President Obama makes an appearance, setting it up for US involvement in future issues.
The art is pretty good, not the best I've seen when speaking of Humans and there are some random inconsistencies at the begining. When speaking of the planes, submarines, and of course the Big G himself I can say that they did a great job. Goji looks menacing and the design is not a carbon copy of any of the movies and looks good. Backgrounds are satisfying and summing it up I'd say that compared to other comics the art is great.
In conclusion this comic serves as a pretty good set up and the art is above average.
Fitz's rating 9/10

Hmm, by the time this is out, the next arc will already be about half way done. Is that how they always release the TPBs?

Yeah, I know. Just not much of a comic book reader. I appreciate them, but it just doesn't really impact me much.
I am considering getting the new Godzilla comic, though, just to try it out.
I just read some of the first issues of Invincible and I loved it. It's written by Kirkman, who did The Walking Dead. A pretty interesting story so far, with likeable main characters and some nice artwork. I'll definitely continue reading this for a while.
I loved Invincible for the first 40 issues or so. After a point, though, it seemed to become more about the gore and "how can we shock our readers this month" than about the characters I'd come to like quite a bit. Almost gave up on it after

You should check out Haunt as well. It also made by Kirkman, and drawn by Todd McFarlane (Spawn, and the co-creator of Venom). I think it's up to issue #16, and it's pretty great as well if you are into older anti-hero comics.
Just got back from a very enlightening lecture by Art Spiegelman. It was like McCloud on Speed, plus the Jewishness. Great times.

This. See, I've always loved the Panther, especially when he works with the FF. T'Challa and Reed in a room together is like Charlie Sheen's brain - YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT.
I'm about 25 issues into Invincible now, loving it. So many hilarious references in this. One of the latest was to Y: The Last Man. :laugh:
I hear Deadpool was recently made a herald of Galactus? I never thought to see Deadpool becoming a herald. Deadpool's comsic powers will destroy everything due to being so awesome now.
Yeah in the final issue of Team Up I think.
sigh poor Kirby.
Marvel has shat on Kirby's grave so many times at this point that he's starting to enjoy the company.

"What of Schmidt's early life, though? What kind of man was he before he met Hitler? And how did the dictator's training impact him? Writer Greg Pak and artist Mirko Colak ("Secret Warriors") will answer those questions and more in July when they kick off the five issue "Red Skull" miniseries. Announced today at WonderCon, CBR News spoke with Pak about the project, which explores the origin of the Skull and features covers by David Aja."
I won't argue that Magneto Testament was a very well written story, but it lacked something that made Magneto stick out from the crowd. It will hopefully be different this time. :)
Pak just so went off the rails after Planet Hulk that I've hardly paid any attention to him since then. The first issue of his Silver Surfer mini was good, though, so maybe there's hope for him yet.

I agree with ya there. Planet Hulk was great an the World War Hulk was OK then it just went down hill. Does there really have to be 2 Hulk books every month along with a second title. I thought the Red Hulk was the dumbest idea of all. Stuff like this is why I've given up on Marvel an went to DC. Better quality.
I like WWH, even though it did feel somewhat of a repeat of the Onslaught saga. And that they made Zom weak as shit now.
Maybe a little but at the end of the Onslaught story back in the 90's all the hero's died an it started all those crappy "Hero's Reborn" books that totally flopped.

Yeap, it's a great series. I'm glad that the movie is inspired by it.
I'm up to #70 in Invincible now and I don't really like the changes they have made. The new suit is boring, I prefered the one with yellow in it. And the violence gets a little to much every now and then. It wasn't really gory series to begin with, so I don't really see a need for all this. :-\

I've never really liked either writer ever. Fraction could never get the feel of the characters when writing Uncanny X-Men. I've been reading this book for the longest time an he was way off in everything. As for Bendis the only book that he clicked on was Ultimate Spider-Man & Daredevil. His writing of Avengers is just horrible.
Fraction's Iron Man run was actually pretty good, and I agree about Bendis on Ultimate Spidey. I seem to recall him doing something else I liked, never got around to reading his daredevils...
But yeah, they're terrible, aside from that.
What do people think of Solstice, the "new" Teen Titan so far? I've been loving JT Krul's run on the book, but I'm not sure about throwing a new character into the mix.

The new Captain America series (starting with issue #620) will take place during WWII and be called Captain America and Bucky.

"What was Cap like in the early days, before WWII started? This is a question I've wanted to explore for years. And of course, the whole series ties directly into what's going on in CAPTAIN AMERICA and Fear Itself, and sets up future plans for [CLASSIFIED], said Brubaker. Getting to work with Marc and Chris, of course, is the cherry on top, since they're both doing brilliant work here."
Co-writer Andreyko explained, "Getting to explore unseen pieces of Bucky's history, from WWII through today, is an absolute blast. Being able to contribute to the Captain America legacy is an honor and a privilege and I can't wait to see the readers' reactions!"
There's a similar thrill for artist Chris Samnee, who revealed, "The scripts I've gotten from Ed and Marc so far have been outstanding. I'm doing everything I can to live up to all the work they're putting into these scripts and pushing myself to make these pages the absolute best work I can muster. And having Bettie Breitweiser handling colors on these issues really take my stuff to another level. She's an amazing talent and I couldn't be happier with the pages I've seen from her so far."
I'm always open for more WWII stuff with Bucky. :)
Jimmy Palmiotti's run on Deadpool is very dark so far. I've just read issues #50-53 and they were some great stories. Not many left now until I hit #69, which was the final Deadpool issue until Cable & Deadpool came along. Wasn't too fond of Christopher Priest's run but Palmiotti's is much better so far. :)
I wish they got rid of Red Hulk already since no one likes him. It's bad enough they made him apart of the Avengers, at least Iron Man beat the shit out of him.
Anyone interested in The Punisher and Deadpool should read Deadpool #54, it's pretty entertaining stuff. ;D

Just gotta share a moment from Deadpool #56 that I really liked. There be spoilers.

After Copycat shape-shifted into Deadpool and attacked Siryn in the gardens she came back to Wade's apartment and slapped him, burst into tears and flew off, and Deadpool knew nothing about this and then Copycat left Wade. Kid Deadpool comes back and explodes Deadpool's warehouse and steals his harley. What follows is a humorous and rather touching sentiment by Deadpool.

Just 'sayin.
I finished reading the Classic Deadpool run. :) The last issues by Gail Simone were great and Taskmaster's 4 issue miniseries was awesome too. I'm now reading Agent X by Gail Simone and it's had me in stitches. :D
I recommend them!
I kind of want to go back and read Andy Diggle's run on Swamp Thing now, as I missed it when it was coming out.
so excited for nuSwampy though.
So I was just talking about this with someone and, what do you guys think is the better graphic novel, WATCHMEN or The Dark Knight Returns?
Personally I prefer The Dark Knight Returns, but for pure story I think they're dead even...
At the time, they were probably about even, with Dark Knight possibly having the slight edge. Now, though, Dark Knight has become quite dated. Its very much a product of the 80s, and 80s politics, and I always have to give out that disclaimer when I recommend it to people now.

Watchmen, by FAR, DKR is good, but i found the story badly paced and clunky.

I love Returns and all, but Watchmen is a benchmark. Compare it to anything and the other thing is going to lose, hard.
Just read Fear Itself #1. The dialogue between the asgardians was pretty bad, but Odin beat down Thor and took control again, and now they've returned to the real Asgard.

We didn't get to see more of Asgard. The Tree of Life looked pretty different though.

(Can't beat the fight between him and Thor in Man of War though).
Going back to a more Kirby space Asgard I guess.
For the movie
I wouldn't mind that at all, even though I loved the earth based Asgard as well.

I prefer the Dark Knight Returns, but thats probably just because im a hardcore Batman fan. I recently read Watchmen again, but I still prefer TDKR. I find the message of TDKR to be more compelling and epic. Plus, it revitalized Batman and the comics industry itself, as did Watchmen.
TDKR is great, but I wouldn't say it's as good as Watchmen.
It has the best depiction of the Bruce's parent's death though.

It's part of a Thor Goes Hollywood campaign from Marvel. Plaster him on a bunch of variant covers from famous movies. Also marketing for the film.

Agent X #10 & #11 were the two of the worst comics I've read, period. Just completely out of style and out of character. And as for #12, honestly whoever let Daniel Way begin writing should die. :D
Why doesn't Marvel just let Abnett and Lanning write all their books? Annihilators and Heroes for Hire are by far the best books they're putting out at the moment. Fear Itself was pretty terrible (although it wasn't Secret Invasion bad, thankfully, at least not yet).
DC continues to amaze, though. Even the DCU Online tie-in book has been great.

So I read the X-Men Origins: Deadpool one-shot comic. It's not worth picking up, Deadpool basically tells an abridged version of his origin story and it's nowhere near as good as the one depicted in the Deadpool & Death Annual '87. Give this one a miss, guys.
PBA, have you ever read Nextwave? As much as you're into his pool-ness, you might want to give that one a read. Warren Ellis after he's injected pure heroin into his eyes and been given free reign to do anything he wants in the marvel U.
Also, DC Showcase presents: Ambush Bug has every one of his appearances up till the recent miniseries Ambush Bug: Year None. Just sayin'.

Warren Ellis is one of the great comic writers. At this point, I'd arguably put him just under Moore and Gaiman. He's done everything from hard-hitting intense drama stuff to balls-off outrageous comedy, and most of the spots in-between. Nextwave is about the three steps beyond the normal end of that comedy spectrum, but I'd call it the best thing he ever wrote.
Ambush Bug, however, is essentially what Deadpool came out of. He was a DC character who showed up originally as a villain, but over a couple of one shot appearances in Action and DC Presents, he became more and more of a comedic character, culminating in a series of miniseries and specials throughout the 80s and ending in the early 90s. There had been comedic characters (and even characters who broke the fourth wall by addressing the reader directly) before, but the Bug really set the template for what was to come, and he's still my favorite. Everything I've read with Deadpool in it has basically just portrayed him as Ambush Bug with guns.
I might check out Nextwave, sounds pretty cool, might give Ambush Bug a miss though. :D

Impossible to say.
But I have a soft spot for 1602 since it was the one that started it.
For nostalgia mines probably this:

I searched for this in London comic shops for so long before I found it. I really wanted it for some reason.
But the one I'm most glad that I own is probably Absolute Watchmen or Daredevil #5.
I can't remember why I bought this.

Maybe cause "ravaged by the ringer" is a hilarious title.
But when you read it, the ringers just this huge victim whos basically being forced to fight spidey or else the bomb strapped to him will detonate.
Spidey spends the whole issue ignoring this guy whos clearly screaming for help.

So I'm really enjoying that old Hulk book I bought. Basically a bunch of old stories with Stan Lee narrating in between each one.
Anyone have any good (and cheap) Marvel TPBs you want to recommend to me?
You might able to find book collections of the older Thor, and Captain America comics as well.
That would be cool. The Hulk one I'm reading is over 30 years old.
EDIT: The story with the Hulk and the Fantastic 4 was really cool! He meats the Avengers next! :)

I don't know when the comics are from, but the TPB is from 78. So maybe Ghost Rider will show up. I still didn't read the Avengers one yet.

^ I seen the Survivors Guide at the comic shop as I bought Volume Five. Starting glancing through it, but immediately put it down - spoilers galore in it! :D
Oh yeah, definitely lots of spoilers. That's my main concern with things like that, though. The very next issue of the comics and the thing could be out of date.
Still seems like an interesting read, though. Maybe they'll do it annually.

OHSHIT
Loved the original Robocop and Terminator crossover comic. Too bad a film of it would never be made due to time line issues.
i only played the megadrive game, it was ok.
The original Robocop/Terminator book should have been so much better than it was. I mean, it was Frank Miller back before he became a parody of himself, doing one of the most logical comic crossovers ever conceived. Sadly, while it was still decent, it fell pretty far short of the mark.
This one? I'll probably still pick it up, just cuz of the Terminator license, but my care-o-meter's barely flickering.
The Terminator vs. Robocop comic was still better then the AVPVT comic if you ask me.

These look very interesting.
Far from the best Fett stories. The Jango/Boba miniseries meanders a lot and suffers from chronic comic book wordiness, and the Force Unleashed story has a lot of the same problems. The most dynamic thing it did was give Boba a female companion, otherwise he had his helmet off way too much. Better story than the game, but that's not saying much.
They're worth a read, but they don't even begin to compare to the original John Wagner/Cam Kennedy comics. And Daniel Keyes Moran's short stories are in a whole other ball park.

Apart from the Force Unleashed II graphic novel, I disagree, but those were good too. Blood Ties does a great job of expanding on the character, while at the same time not demystifying him.
"he had his helmet off way too much." That's funny.
Well, he did. I like Attack of the Clones and all, but Tem Morrison is not the Boba I grew up with.
Morrison is the most savage motherf**ker to ever walk this Earth though.

Oops, I actually thought that scene was from
Once We Were Warriors. But yeah, I've seen them both, first one was the best. Can't say I remember much from the sequel though. It was a decent movie and all, but not up there with the first one.

I'm not questioning the fact that he's a badass motherf**ker. Temuera is the shit.
But he's not Boba Fett. There's not a drop of Spaghetti Western in that guy.

Temuera is from New Zealand.
Yes, he is.
People misunderstood my post completely. :D
What I really should have said was
'Yes Sharp Sticks, I agree. Temuera is still a supercool guy though, check this clip of him beating the shit out of people.'
Just to make it clear I think that Jeremy Bulloch is and always will be the only voice for the Fett man, and as for his face, well read Twin Engines and you'll see.

Madness. I did not know this. Well that guy then, he sounds awesome.
Funny story about that. Jeremy Bulloch was still delivering the lines inside the helmet so they could sync the dubbing, but in the scene where he tells the airport hostess dude to 'put Captain Solo in the cargo hold', he flubbed his line: what Bulloch is actually saying in that shot is 'put Captain Cargo in the solo hold'.
Still makes me chuckle. :laugh:
And now I can never watch Empire Strikes Back again.
That's all I'm gonna think when he says that line now. :D
That's nothing, man.

I actually really enjoyed Blood Ties. The art was beautiful, and the story was, if not the greatest ever, still very serviceable. I never read the old 90s Fett stuff, simply because I can't stand Kennedy's art. The only SW books I read that he did were the Dark Empire trilogy.

I get how Kennedy could be an acquired taste. Personally, I think he had one of the most interesting and fitting takes on Star Wars of any artist who ever worked on the comics. His Boba Fett was superb. But he was pretty far out there.
I'm not such a fan of the newer art styles. Either they look like a photograph with heavy 'shopping or the 21st century equivalent of a four-colour comic strip - overly moody vs zero atmosphere. But to each their own.

The scene when Michonne is torturing the Governor is just brutal. I was also starting to like character of Martinez until Rick killed him. Not sure I agree with Rick's argument on that one. The guy just wanted to bring the civilians over to the prison or so he claimed. Assuming that he thought the Governor was dead.

You're in for some very huge shocks with the next couple volumes.

I love Irving.
Especially dem faces.
Really want to pick up a copy of Nate Simpson's Nonplayer. f**king stunning illustration.
There's a great article about the 80's horror comics in the June/July issue of Famous Monsters Underground.
Entitled "Blood in the Gutters" for all you fans of this particular genre.
If you enjoyed comics from publishers such as Eclipse or Pacific Comics this article is for you ;)
cheers

I was going through my stack that I've been trying to keep up on an I came up to Amazing Spider-man issue's #655 - 658. I tried reading them but the art an story just wasn't worth reading. Horrible art & Story. I pick this book up every month an the quality just goes down an the price goes up ($3.99). It seems when they bring in the top creators for certain story's an the rest is just worthless filler.

The Walking Dead Volume Seven...as I am trying to get caught up.

I really thought Dale was going to die when he was bit. Just reached the part in which Rick & Co. are practicing shooting cans in the yard. While Lori just had the baby. :)
Wednesday was a good day.
Action Comics 900, Batman Inc 5, Detective Comics 876 and the excellent FF 2. Thankgod Hickman didn't waste any time getting rid of Doom's brain damage. Which ever writer thought that was a good idea needs to be shot.
One thing that has been consistant in the MU..

Awesome! I can't wait to see what you think of the ending, and of the next volume (probably one of the (if not the) most important volumes in the series.

The best place to start right now would be with J. Michael Straczynski's run on the character, of which the movie was slightly based. Fun fact; Straczynski had a cameo in the movie, as the guy who found the hammer when it fell to earth.

Not on my laptop right now, PBA. And I'm not sure how long I'll be on. Sorry :(

I would also recommend
Ages of Thunder, which is more or less three stand alone issues. It takes place long before Thor begun interacting with the rest of the Marvel universe.

Start reading from Fantastic Four 570. You'll know when the title becomes Future Foundation so just move onto that when you need to. Goodluck searching for it on /rs/ though. :P

I read that comic before, it was okay. I never like some of the stuff that happen like when Thor said that Wolverine is faster then him which is bull shit IMO. And that the fight seem very sloopy.

When was the last time you read an issue of Wolverine? Jason Aaron is probobly the best writer the book has had since Larry Hama. There was a very long period where the book was being whored by a different hack writer every month though. Joe Q selecting Daniel Way to write Wolverine Origins is just sinful.
I own every issue of Wolverine. :) It all comes down to a matter of opinion. Me, I don't like Aaron's take on the character really at all. Wolverine's be possesed before Thats nothing new to me.

I must say that aside from his great run on X-Men & Wolverine & New Mutants not everything he did was great. O I forgot to mention Excalibur too (First Series.). X-Men Forever was the worst I've seen. Just off the wall lame ideas an horrible art.

After reading the last few issues, it's safe for me too say that Detective Comics is my new favorite ongoing series as of right now. Anyone who reads it agree?
Yeah it's f**king great. I'm assuming you're talking about Snyder's run?
He's doing the most interesting Gordon since Year One.

It almost feels a little like Year One in a way, mainly because of the coloring and dialogue. I can't wait to see his take on organized crime in Gotham, because I have a feeling he'll pull it off incredibly

I'm hoping that Cap, Spidey and Logan were never even there to begin with.
That's the way I interpreted it anyway.
The very nature of the character's going to make this really unpredictable. It could easilly become cheesy if done wrong though.
I literally have no idea where theyre going to take this. If he hallucinated the request to fight crime, couldn't he have hallucinated the crime itself, Hyde, the mystery man and ultron?

(+) I agree with you there. ;)
haw
My consumer philosophy regarding comics is the same as the one with Videogames and movies; enjoy first, buy later. I will never pay for something i know is not good, and my opinion will always be the most important opinion. some say why even bother acquiring something i already have free access to... it's because you can't bring a hard drive to school.
And 90% of comics are shit.
I always DL before I buy. Even for singles. But I spend a shitload of money on singles so ain't nobody can judge me no sir.
YOURE KILLIN' THE INDUSTRY MAN!
I really need a second shelf soon.

is f**king awesome. It has blood AND boobies.
It tells the origin story of the sullen-eyed Cimmerian. He cripples children, kills wolves, slams wizard's daughters, snaps a giant bulls neck and kills the shit out of a lot of people.

Spinning out of the fan favorite Batman Beyond series come the adventures of The Man of Tomorrow in the DC Universe of the future! An aging Kal-El is called back into action to stop a villain more powerful than he's ever faced - all while his own super powers are starting to fade. Superman Beyond #0 will be written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz and Sal Buscema.

I was never interested in Batman Beyond, but I'll give this a try.
So I am reading Captain America by Jack Kirby Omnibus.
It's good and a bit out there. Basically they let King Kirby go off the handle and write, draw and edit a large bulk of Captain America issues. Arnim Zola's first appearence show's up here as well. :)

Half way through Absolute Sandman Volume 3 at the moment. It's a very odd series. Once an arc is finished, Gaiman often starts up with completely new characters and Morpheus might not appear till very late in a story. It can be a drag starting again with new characters all the time, but somehow he manages to be consistently engaging.
Is the art transferred well in the Absolute version?
I don't have anything to compare it to really, not having read any individual issues. The 'Absolutes' can be a pain to read what with them being as big as volumes of an encyclopedia. I did read Brief Lives (voume 7 I think) seperately, which is contained in Absolute Vol 3. Art seemed to be about the same (though obviously larger in the Absolute).
All I'll really say about the art for Sandman is that it confirmed for me that Sam Keith is rubbish, and I was glad when someone (anyone) else took over.

that's kind of the point, although the "endless" centred arcs are the best, i just finished At World's End which the endless are in for a handfull of pages at the most, and it was great.

Somebody told me I would like Sandman, anyone have any reviews on it?
It's great if you like dark fantasy.
And if you don't like dark fantasy, It'll make you like it.
So I guess it's just great all round.
I wouldn't even say it was particularly dark (it can be, but not constantly). You'll like it if you like really good story telling.

QuoteYou mention getting to know Daredevil right away in the first few pages of Mark's script for the first issue. How does it feel to be drawing the character? And which of his physical and emotional qualities do you want to emphasize in your depictions of him?
Rivera: This is definitely a dream of mine, and something Steve Wacker has hinted at for some time now. I have to give him a lot of credit for orchestrating a project that is suited to me. I don't have the chops to do a monthly book, but by sharing artistic duties with Marcos Martin (who happens to be one of my favorite artists), I can hope to be part of an ongoing project.
As for Daredevil, his physical qualities lend themselves to dynamic art. I like to think of him as mostly operating at night, when he has a distinct advantage over everyone else. In concert with the playground of New York rooftops, the opportunities for playing with light and shadow are legion. Furthermore, he is one of the greatest gymnasts in the world, so I've been studying the musculature and signature moves of Olympians. I've even been watching white cane walking techniques on YouTube to make sure I get it right.
Also, my Daredevil won't look at you. He doesn't need to. As often as not, he'll be fighting while facing the "wrong" way, something that I think would be fairly disconcerting to an opponent. Vision is such an important part of human life that it dominates every aspect of how we conduct ourselves, from the tilt of a neck to the arrangement of furniture. When I draw either Matt or Daredevil, I want his distinctive "point of view" to be apparent merely from his body language. On one level, Matt's blindness is an act -- an interesting aspect of his personality by itself -- but on another level, he really should conduct himself differently than any other superhero. When I draw Spidey, I do my best to make sure he doesn't touch the ground; with Daredevil, I want him to always look like he's listening.

So let me get this straight: if you're a babe, fireproof hair grows straight out of your skull?
Do you know nothing of basic science?
So I was thinking of reading Ultimate Spider-Man, seeing as the regular Spider-Man series has been going on for decades and it was supposedly ruined. :D
I loved the Ultimate Spider-Man game, just wondering what the general opinion is on the comics.
It's been a while since I read it, but I liked it. It came of as very fresh and well written.
They were pretty great.
What I read anyway.

I'll wait to get a few more replies and then see about getting the Ultimate Collection TPBs.
Just beware of... him.

Haha, I've already skimmed through the Ultimate Spidey issue with
him in via... alternative methods... so I'm prepared for what they did to him. :D
Pfft...Ignore these people. If you wanna get into Spider-Man read these before you even touch the Ultimate stuff.
The Death of Gwen Stacy (If you buy any Spider-Man book, let it be this one)
Spider-Man Blue
Kravens Last Hunt
Death of Jean DeWolfe
Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut (One of my all time favs)
The very first Venom stuff is also pretty sweet, but don't read any further than that, it just gets baaaaaaaaaaad.
For long runs I'd recommend Straczynski's. Stan Lee's great, but 60s comics give me headaches. :D
But yeah buy The Death of Gwen Stacy.
The Ultimate stuff is great, Bendis' Peter is fantastic but some of his other creative choices are just odd. It's a very consistent run though, with a solid continuity. But IMO you can't top those ones I just listed.
Death of Gwen Stacy is great. In fact there's a HC called Death of The Stacy's which includes Gwen's and Captain Stacy's deaths. :)
I have a paperback which has both of those stories in. It's great.

Yes they are. Gerry Conway + Gil Kane = Comic Book Magic.
Hmm, if I ever finish that Hulk TPB I'm reading, the Spider-Man stories First Blood is mentioning sound really good. I sohould try to get my hands on them, eventually.

If you ever read
Thor check out
Walter Simonson's run. I am reading it now - my God. It's like the equivalent of Miller's run on Daredevil.
Beta Ray Bill showin' up with Stormbreaker kickin' some ass.
The only thinking I ever really read, other than TWD, was that Hulk book I'm talking about :D
Did you like the Hulk book? :laugh:
Still reading it, but I am enjoying it. Right now he's fighting some red robot that Banner made :)
I should check out some of that Marvel stuff that you mentioned, though, if I can find it for cheap. SOunds great.

I have the Birth of Venom TPB and some parts of that were just weird, like some guy who had three gorilla henchmen. :D
I'll get the Death of the Stacy's TPB First Blood mentioned and then try out Straczynski's run, got any links from Forbidden Planet or Play.com for the first volume? :)
Just ordered a new bunch of comics. :)

Can't go wrong with Darwyn Cooke or Tim Sale for that matter. :)

A fine choice. Those comics are fun as hell. However some of it might be a little confusing if you haven't read Morrison's other stuff.

Wtf .
More explanation is required.
I must know more.
Han and Chewie crash on Earth, Han is killed by the native locals, and Chewie escapes and becomes known as the legendary Sasquatch. Serious.

Loving it, like, completely. I didn't think I'd like the root they went with Green Goblin (after I saw him in the USM game) but the actual material is pretty great. Also, Venom's origin is nicely done and I like how the game took almost all the dialogue from the school fight and incorporated it.
I'm just enjoying it immensely and although it's very different from 616 Spidey, I have read some of the 616 stuff, it's still fantastic.

Hah, when anyone starts reading Ultimate Spider-Man they burn through issues so fast. It's nothing if not addictive.
Have you got the X-Men tie ins? Or the annuals? I'm not sure which one you need but when Kitty Pride shows up you need to read something outside of the main title.
Oh and you'll need to read Ultimate Six to make sense of some stuff.
I think thats everything... :D
Feeling nostalgic there Aeus? ;D
I was more or less the same as that when I read USM for the first time. :laugh:
I just finished this:

What the hell did I just read? The villain was certainly not who I expected it to be and I'm not quite sure I understood his motives either. If he wanted to create the perfect universe (because as far as I understood it, that was what he was trying to do), why did he attack scientific targets in the Ultimate Universe? I think I need to read this again to fully grasp what was going on.
I really liked the whole thing though. The assembly of different characters were great and the artwork was simply stunning. Ben's new powers and the romance with Sue was a nice touch, I didn't mind that at all. I found it to be well written and the story kept me interested all the way through. The last issue felt a bit rushed though.
Anyone else read this? Opinions?

No I don't have any of the X-Men stuff or Ultimate Six, but I know where to get them if needs be.
>.>
<.<
Definitely read Ultimate Six.
I need to know where it fits in chronologically if it isn't too much trouble. :)
Around issue 46.
I read Ultimate Six and I'm now past Carnage's first arc. I have successfully concluded, after reading Carnage's arc in Ultimate Spidey and playing the Ultimate Spider-Man game, that Carnage is indeed a mentally retarded, slimy, chirping monster.

:D
Get to the Ultimates Knights arc.
I just read the two issue story where Spidey and Wolverine have their minds swapped. :D
I'm on issue 68 so I dunno when Ultimate Knights comes in.
Read the Blockbuster arc from Ultimate X-men.
I dunno, I'd rather stick with Spidey for now.
It is Ultimate Spider-Man.
Don't forget to pick up Ultimatum once you're done with Spidey, it's bound to be the ultimate experience in comic book reading. ;D
I wouldn't go that far, it's not as good as Watchmen. But it's close.
PBA should definitely read it.
Geoff Johns and Jim Lee will launch a new JLA series.
It will feature Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and several other characters following the current Flashpoint crossover. It's the return of the World's Greatest Superheroes to the book for the first time in years.

That's the best I've heard it described. :D
I still liked it very much, but I wish there had been a satisfying ending. :-\
Same problem with Siege. The buildup was great and the sentry turning into spider-void actually got me excited. And then magic rocks and suddenly thor can kill him? Wa?
What they need to do in the sequel is bring Doom back from the dead to beat Richard's and be the hero. That is the only thing I can accept.

How's Pulp? It was in the bookshop I got Deadpool/Thunderbolts and Wade Wilson's War from but it was sealed shut so I didn't get a chance to peek inside. I've heard good things about MAX and intend to pick it up soon. :)

What they need to do in the sequel is bring Doom back from the dead to beat Richard's and be the hero. That is the only thing I can accept.

X-Men Legacy contiues to bore me with the stories of characters that no one really cares about. Uncanny X-Force is the best X-Book on the shelf.
Red Lanterns is getting their own solo series.

QuoteRed Lanterns:
Going solo. Atrocitus and his Red Lantern Corps return in their own series, battling against injustice in the most bloody ways imaginable. This Lantern Corps takes no prisoners, they are judge, jury and executioners!
Will be written by Peter Milligan, artwork and cover is by Ed Benes and Rob Hunter.
I'd prefer a sinestro corps series.

Quote"Barbara Gordon is pretty much my everything. Because of the Batman TV show, she was the reason I fell in love with superheroes. Because she was a redhead who could kick ass, she is the reason I fell in love with comics. She was always forward-looking as Batgirl, a girl who was smarter than the male characters, who had class and elegance and style, as well as tough-as-nails grit. For a long time, there was simply nothing else like her in comics, and for me and a lot of other readers, her every appearance was joyful and explosive.
For many years, I got to write the character as Oracle, and there is to this day, no character who means more to me. This is classic Barbara as she was originally conceived, with a few big surprises. It's a bit of a shock, to be sure, but we're doing everything we can to be respectful to this character's amazing legacy, while presenting something thrilling that a generation of comics readers will be experiencing for the first time...
...Barbara Gordon leaping, fighting, and swinging over Gotham. Now, when citizens of that city look up, they are going to see BATGIRL.
And that is absolutely thrilling."

Is anyone else reading Flashpoint? I'm mostly doing it to keep up if this is going to be the only DC universe from now on. The main series and Booster Gold has been decent so far and I'm looking forward to the Superman stuff.
An interesting article about women superheroes that was Facebooked to me:
QuoteI have always found the way in which women are portrayed in superhero comics frustrating. As someone who has trained in martial arts, I can tell you this is NOT a practical outfit for serious ass-kicking.
http://skepchick.org/wp-content/uploads/assrider.jpg
You can't run in high heels. That long flying hair is a convenient handle to be grabbed by–bad idea in a fight. You don't wear a thong or hot pants that are going to let your labia pop out the second you make a kick. (Honestly, the first thing I think when I look at this costume is that she must have a really uncomfortable wedgie.)
And dear god, the boobs. If you have massive boobage, you need an equally massive support system to deal with said mammaries if you hope to run without injuring yourself. The second this chick punched someone, there would be boobs everywhere, not to mention how those very sensitive areas have no protection.
I suppose if you had (as a hypothetical example) millions of insect minions who could subdue the villain for you, then you could teeter up on your high heels and pose on him like this. But...does't that kind of negate the whole point of a superpower?
Now, our green dude is also in a tight fitting outfit...but he's not posed to be a sexual object. His bulge is not the focus of his whole costume. His green lantern isn't on his crotch.
Given my irritation with comics' portrayal of women, I was very excited to discover a project called "Dressed to Kill." The artist is re-drawing men in the same costumes and poses as superhero women are found in. Her version of the photo above is hilarious (http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldfqz5JKVu1qb6vok.jpg).
I especially liked this statement:
"This is sexist, and I'll tell you why. It's not because it's slutty, because there's nothing wrong with being slutty.
This isn't a woman expressing her own sexuality. This is a male-created image expressing female sexuality without female input. And that's what most women object to in the portrayal of women in comics. There's a difference between being sexy and being a sex object, the difference being sexy comes from within, and being sexualized comes from outside you."
Yes. Exactly.
When the only reason you are dressed this way is to be titillating, and it's completely divorced from the story line, that's a pain.
Here is the Dressed to Kill version of Mr. America (http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmglkzWOf01qb6vok.jpg). Accompanying comments from the artist:
"It's not just the costumes, it's not just the poses, it's not just that only women are dressing this way, it's also how often the women dress this way, and how little it makes sense for them to do so.
This costume looks ridiculous on Mister America, not because he's a man in women's clothes, but because these clothes are ridiculous for a superhero to wear."
Not that long ago, the Head of DC comics said that he was "not sure that young women are as interested in reading about superheroes [as boys]." I think that's bullshit.
Just look at how well paranormal and fantasy young adult novels sell. I think young women just get tired of having their gender represented in a silly and hightly sexualized way. And that's why they buy fewer comic books.

But its Star Sapphire.
Bein a whores kinda her thing.
Yeah, she didn't use a good example, did she? It was a bad example in more ways than one.
;)
Interesting article, though I kind of feel it exaggerates certain things. I mean, from the get go with comics I'm sure most guys at some point go "why the hell does everyone where those freaking tights? If I wore tights to school, all of my friends would laugh and kick my ass, what does it mean?" I also think those costumes are quite titilating considering the man's body, but no one seems to notice he has full-body tights, glimmering boots, rippling muscles and a massive bulge in his crotch. wtf? To me that says that all of the costumes are ridonk, not just the attractive woman's. Its just part of being in the superhero club, dawg.
She makes lots of good points about the praticality of the outfit, but this has been addressed for years. I mean if you happen to be married to a woman, you know how they like to dress up and look great as much as they can (but all women are, of course, different), especially if they're going to be kicking ass. A lot of these female superheroes might even choose to dress like thes simply because they can kick ass and look really hot. There's not a woman I know that doesn't like attention, quite a bit ;D.
These are just my opinions, and it was a well written article for sure. It just left me with the 'angry feminism' vibe. There aren't a lot of comic nerds left these days, and the industry is in rough shape after the glory of the 90's. I say let them have their hot women in silly outfits, if it keeps comic books alive!
Comic books don't need bikinis to be kept alive. Maybe superhero comic books, DC and Marvel fare, but not the stuff that comes from Image or the net or what have you. Some of the world's best contemporary art is coming from independent comics. It's the only medium that's still growing these days, and it's the most democratic - all a person needs to produce a comic book is a pen, some paper, a library scanner and an idea.
Not that I'm against impossible body dimensions or anything.
Spot on sticks.

Lol, but I totally agree with you. It's pretty lame watching American comics dwindle to the pariah they are today. In the early 90s boom a successful comic would could sell anywhere from over 500,000 to 1,000,000 books. Today's comics are considered successful if they sell over
20,000 books. The direct market helped fuel this industry disaster, among many other things, but independent comics are thriving in the modern comic market.
I think the Liefeld-style female super thong is defnitely on its' way out, and what remains today is just a sort of convention. Most new characters don't really look like that, as it does look idiotic to most males over the age of 13.
This is one of my favorite discussions, so I'm going to keep it short before I rant (which is about 1 out of 3 posts for me, har.)

What characters do you like specifically from each company?
I liked the mythology of everything, really. With the exception of X-Men which was kind of hard to get into, I liked practically everything.
And then Spider Man got rebooted basically, and DC started to implode under too many crises. So I just started reading other things, like Walking Dead, Fables, DMZ etc.
Captain America under Brubaker is pretty consistent. Scott Snyder's new Batman series should be a hoot. If you like Daredevil and the Punisher they're getting new creative teams this june/july, both worth checking out.

Yuck. Personally I never understood the appeal of Venom or Carnage. Not sure if it's a 90's generational thing. I enjoyed McFarlane's run with the character Venom on Amazing Spider-Man but since then I've just no real interest in either character. I wan't mah' Sinister Six.
True dat.

Will be reading.
The thing with reboots of books (Punisher, Daredevil,) is that the creative teams only last maybe 10 issues before it gets all messed up with different writer/artist. Looking at allot of series come an gone its like why bother. They should just do 5 issue limited series cause most artist can't stay on track long. Not saying all but most.
Waids writes a series for ages, and he plans to do the same with DD.
And the mini DD End of Days is coming out in september I think.
Best of both worlds.

That's why I stopped reading The Walking Dead, which I was very impressed with. After the first volume, though, the artist changes and I could never adjust after getting into the story and characters with the first artist. I hate it when they do that, I mean there are plenty of artists trying to find work; the comics industry is such a bloody mess...

I agree with you there but it seems Marvel is in the worst shape. I've been reading Marvel mainly for a long time an the art just keeps getting worse. I think in terms of quality DC is the best.

With Walking Dead, though, they keep the artist who comes in for the second volume. So if you can't get used to it at first, it becomes much easier.

It'll be expensive, they're academic texts. His other book is 30 quid.
Yeah, just looked it up. Have you read it? I'm interested in giving it a look myself, but it has to be something really good for that price.
I want to read it yeah, but I imagine it'll be really technical and so on. Not so much of an entertaining read.

Osama bin Laden's death is being turned into a graphic novel.
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Jolt17/news/?a=40206 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Jolt17/news/?a=40206)
QuoteIDW Publishing and Charlie Foxtrot Entertainment today have the honor of announcing Code Word: Geronimo, an original graphic novel illustrating the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound by SEAL Team 6 on May 1, 2011. Expertly written by Captain Dale Dye (USMC, Ret.) and Dr. Julia Dye, Ph.D., Code Word: Geronimo offers the amazing, moment-by-moment inside story of the clandestine raid that rid the world of this terrorist mastermind.
"Due to entirely appropriate security concerns, there is some creative license in our script," said Captain Dye. "But I think readers will be gratified with the detail and thrilled with our take on one of the most daring and successful commando raids in American military history."
This historical keepsake details the bravery and valor of SEAL Team 6 as it descends into Abbottabad, Pakistan and achieves the near impossible. Joining the Dyes to bring this incredible graphic novel to life are artists Gerry Kissell (The A-Team: War Stories, Iron Sky) and Amin Amat (Buckaroo Banzai, Iron Sky). John M. Del Vecchio, decorated Vietnam veteran and best-selling author of the The 13th Valley, will also provide afterword material. A portion of the proceeds from Code Word: Geronimo will be donated to a charity supporting military service members.
"I have worked for many years now with Charlie Foxtrot Entertainment on a number of successful projects," said Tom Waltz, IDW editor, former Marine and Desert Storm I veteran. "But none of those compare to the excitement and pride I have for Code Word: Geronimo. The Dyes have put together a fantastic script detailing the heroically dangerous raid by SEAL Team 6 against Public Enemy Number One, Osama Bin Laden, and I firmly believe you won't get a more accurate account of this pivotal moment in history unless it is told by the SEAL team members themselves."

Looks like a parallel comic to Marvel Universe vs The Punisher. That part with Spiderman chewing up Rhino is exactly the same.

QuoteFans to Protest DC Relaunch at SDCC
Originally reported by ComicBook.com from a Facebook post organizing the event, a group of fans are planning to protest DC's upcoming September relaunch by... walking. I'm fairly certain they'd be walking a lot anyway, seeing as it's a sizable convention, but it's different because they'll be walking in protest.
The Facebook post reads, "Are you utterly baffled, disappointed and just ANGRY to see how DC ruins your favorite character's design and wipes decades of comic history out of the mainstream universe? Well, you're not alone! And why not make some noise at the biggest pop-culture event this year, where creators, artists and writers appear in person - show them how fans - the fans of the classic characters, the (nevertheless slightly changing) designs, the character's history and personality - really feel about it!"
If you are planning on joining this farce, I've got a tip for you. These wheels are in motion. Walking across the convention center on one of the busiest days of the show won't do much for you. The only way to show DC that you're not fans of what they're doing is to not buy the books.
While I think fans have every right to voice their opinions on the matter, do you really want to waste your time (not to mention money) fruitlessly marching around for an hour? I didn't think so. Vote with your money, not protest walks. And besides, if you're just trying to scratch that protest itch, I'm sure there's something more worthwhile to rally against.
So if you're attending the convention and are at a loss for something to do on Saturday from 2-3 PM, ask me. Because anything is better than this.

I mean the original 4 hardcovers, before Marvel Zombies Return.
there was still MZ Dead Days before Return, so there was actually 5 before then
and i guess there's 8, because i forgot to count MZ Vs the Army of Darkness, but that only semi counts.

I just mean the main story. I'm aware of Dead Days. I probably wont buy the Army of Darkness thing because I don't really like crossovers.
fair enough, i really liked Vs Army of Darkenss, i recommend Dead Days though, return and 5 are a bit hit and miss, you're not really missing much by not reading them, unless you are a silver age spider-man fan (in which case, read return) or a machine man, or howard the duck fan (in which case read MZ5)

Seems like they made Martha Wayne the Joker in Flashpoint. :-\
Just realised Deadpool Corps was cancelled after issue 12, and I have the first (and only) two TPBs and I was enjoying it as well. :D I just hope it has a decent ending.
In other news Batman: Year One was pretty damn awesome, I really enjoyed it.
I havent bought any comics in years, but recently I bought all of the Aliens and Aliens vs Predator Omnibuses - Fantastic!
Does anyone know if there is going to be more?
I remember a story in Dark Horse's Aliens called Newt's Tale - about the story of Hadley's Hope between when Newts Family found the Derelict and when the Marines arrive but it isnt in any of the Omnibuses I have. Thats one I would like to track down. :)
I brought AVP Duel and Aliens Fast track to Heaven Yesterday at a garage sale.

Also up to date on this, don't let the artwork fool you, this isn't some Bambi story, one of the best post apocalyptic stories I've read I'm officially addicted, it realy puts walking dead to shame, the only thing I could possibly compare it to is Steven Kings "The Stand", and I'd be pressed to say it's a little better and somewhat more unique in the genre.

I just read the first issue of Red Skull: Incarnate, written by Greg Pak (Magneto Testament). It tells the story of young Johann Schmidt who lives in a orphanage where he's physically abused on a daily baisis. He finally gets enough and runs away, only to find himself on the streets during a very difficult time in german history.
A great opening to this miniseries. I already like it better than Magneto Testament.

Marvel are winning on everything apart from TV currently so I guess Batman isn't such a deciding factor after all. :P

Heroes: Marvel
While I do love a classic superhero like Superman, most of the characters that I like are from Marvel. Not to mention that the line between good and evil are for the most of the time very clear in DC, while Marvel has more of a grey scale. That makes most of heroes more interesting in my opinion.
Villains: Marvel
I can't really think of any DC villain that I've
really liked so far. I mean, there are plenty of good ones in DC, but no one that really captured me the way that the Marvel villains has. Magneto, Loki and some of the Spider-Man villains (Venom, Hobgoblin, Kraven, Lizard) being my favorites.
Games: Marvel
I admit, this isn't really my thing, seeing as how I'm not much of a gamer. I really liked
The Avengers and
X-Men for Sega Genesis though.
Ultimate Spider-Man was also pretty cool and I really liked
Spider-Man (2000) as well.
TV: DC
Well, this was easy. DC has some amazing animated shows, like Batman and Superman. I also loved Lois & Clark as a kid. It's been a while since I saw it though, so I don't know if it still holds up as well. Marvel has some good shows as well, a favorite being
The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Movies: Marvel
DC has some great movies as well (Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, Superman, Batman '89), but Marvel is unique with their MCU. Every part of it has been good so far and even before that Marvel had some really good movies (Punisher, Spider-Man, X-Men, Blade II).

this is exactly how i voted too, and by the looks of it, this is the way the vote is swinging in about 60/40 split in all areas (except it's a bit closer to 55/45 for villains and more like 70/30 for movies)
Superman and Batman make all Marvel heroes, except for Cap, about 1/5 by comparison.

Yes
then i am sad to tell you, i have diagnosed you with a terminal case of the wrongsies, the prognosis isn't good. :(
I'm not wrong.
I've probably read more Iron Man than anyone on this website. I'm not saying he's bad or anything...but he's just not as good a character as Batman. Not even close.

I just read Captain America: The Chosen by David Morrell (author of First Blood). It was definitely not what I expected it to be, a very different story I must say. I enjoyed it though and it really showed of how Cap inspires people to better themself and fight against the odds.
Anyone else read this?
Yeah. It's a hoot.
So volume 14 of The Walking Dead came in today. Oh my God...
Spoiler
I already knew that Morgan would die after I read a spoiler, but still, I felt really bad. And that conversation with him and Carl, about ben and Duane, that was amazing. Easily my favorite scene in the entire volume.
And that ending...My God, that ending...I can not wait for volume 15. Honestly, I believed that at some point in the series, Rick would die, and Carl would become the main character. I have no idea if Carl lives or not after this volume, as I am complete unspoiled for anything after this volume (and I plan to stay that way), but now, I'm not so sure about that any more...I'm just not sure.

QuoteHe has been called the Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton and a strange visitor from a distant planet.
He is Superman, the Man of Tomorrow. As part of DC COMICS – THE NEW 52, this September will usher in a new Superman for the new century.
In the pages of ACTION COMICS, writer Grant Morrison and artist Rags Morales will present humanity's first encounters with Superman, before he became one of the World's Greatest Super Heroes. Set a few years in the past, it's a bold new take on a classic hero.
* This Superman is very much an alien, one struggling to adjust to his adopted home. In the series, he must come to terms with both the loss of his home world, as well as the loss of both of his adopted parents. He is more Kal-El from the planet Krypton than Clark Kent from Kansas. He's a loner trying to find his place in the world.
* The series' first storyline will explore the origins of Superman's costume, as it evolves from a look that includes jeans and work boots to a new look: a suit of battle armor that pays tribute to his Kryptonian past.
* His great powers have limits. When the series begins, Superman can leap tall buildings, but his ability to fly is in its infancy.
And in the SUPERMAN ongoing comic book series, by writer George Perez and artist Jesus Merino, will be set in present day continuity and will unleash a series of new challenges for Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent.
* Clark Kent is single and living on his own. He has never been married.
* Lois Lane is dating a colleague at the DAILY PLANET (and his name isn't Clark Kent) and she has a new position with the paper.
Timeless and modern, classic and contemporary, but younger, brasher and more brooding, this is Superman. The New Man of Tomorrow.
ACTION COMICS issue 1 goes on sale on September 7 and SUPERMAN issue 1 goes on sale September 28.
I like that his powers are somewhat limited in the beginning. A suit that pays homage to his kryptonian side is a good idea, I just wish it wasn't armour. Not so sure if I like Superman being more alien in this one though. I guess it could work, as long as he doesn't lose touch with his human side.

I just bought this. I really like it.
Just read the first issue of the new Daredevil series. The art was great, bright and colourful. The whole tone of the issue was alot brighter than what I am used to with Daredevil, but I liked it. Seeing Spot again was nice, been a long time since I read anything with him in it.
Oh, and that ending will make the next issue very interesting.
Yeah it was good. Reminded me of an early Frank Miller. Don't know if I'm gonna like it as much as grimdark DD though, but it'll be fun at least.

I wouldn't have a problem with that (obviously, Lois must have dated other men before Clark), if it weren't for the fact that everything about this new guy screams douche.

Since the eighties, Grant Morrison has been a titanic figure in comics, working on both creator-owned titles such as The Invisibles, Zenith, and We3, and more familiar industry icons like Superman, Batman, and the X-Men. This week he released Supergods, a 400-page meditation on superheroes and what they tell us about ourselves. In September, he'll helm DC Comics' relaunch of that first and most famous of superheroes, Superman, in Action Comics. Vulture spoke with Grant about the future of his industry, his obsession with Batman, and his gripe with the X-Men.
What is it about superheroes that fascinates you?
They came along when I most needed them. My parents were anti-nuclear activists, so the bomb was a big frightening specter in our household. Then I discovered superhero comics and realized that here was an idea that was bigger than the bomb. Superman can withstand an atom bomb explosion. They literally saved me from the horror of the atom bomb.
Did you do a lot of research for the book?
I didn't want to do that type of book because there had been so many good academic books on the subject. I really just wanted to do it as, "Here's someone who's absolutely immersed in this stuff. Here's a human story in the middle of all this." And most of my research was done from stuff that I had on the bookshelf. It was mostly about a kind of personal take on these things.
You split the book into four sections: the Golden Age, Silver Age, the Dark Age, and the Renaissance. Why call the third section, the eighties to early nineties, the Dark Ages?
That's kind of the name that's been used by comic historians, I went along with it because it fit nicely into that structure with the ages. Creators began to ask themselves difficult questions about sexuality, about politics, about why [superheroes] did what they did and what they stood for. Superheroes were psychopaths, villains became more excessive. It was a very creative period, so it's not like the Dark Ages in history when all the lights went out and there were a few monks scribbling for 500 years. I enjoyed it up to a point and then grew very rapidly disenchanted with it. I really liked Alan Moore's Marvelman, which was the first of these types of stories to really make an impact. It was a very logical approach to superhumans. But by the end of Watchmen, I was really tired of it. It wasn't helpful to take ideas that were so positive and reduce them to the gutter. It seemed like a dead end to me. I kind of felt it was more important to try and restore some kind of mythic potency, to make them mean something else to people.
What, exactly?
We're so starved of Utopian images of where the human race might go, particularly in western culture. Basically we are told that the earth is doomed, the climate is going to collapse, that we're heading for extinction, we're using up the resources. There's a very dark and sinister story that we're telling ourselves. But I felt that one of the reasons why superheroes have become so popular again and broken out of the comics and into the mainstream, was because people were so desperately starved of an image of humanity that gave us some hope for the future.
How do you feel about the current state of superhero comics?
Things are going down dramatically every month in superhero comics. The comics themselves are much better written and drawn than they've ever been, but kids don't really buy them anymore. They can get them for free online. All popular culture is dealing with that. It's not just comics.
Is there a future for superhero comics?
It's really quite hard to predict. The way DC Comics are dealing with it right now is to kind of start at ground zero. As of September things are being taken back to number-one issues and being re-created for modern sensibilities. The idea that comics are now backed into a corner is leading to some very interesting and creative solutions for getting out of the corner. Whether there remains a mass-market audience for print is something that the next five and ten years will prove to us.
What is your involvement in the DC relaunch?
I'm still doing Batman, as I've been doing for the last six years, and also relaunching Action Comics. We're rethinking Superman, and the problems that people have had with him recently: Why does he look that way? Why is he so powerful? He's unrelatable. We want to go back to what originally drove Superman. He was created in the Depression to be a champion to the oppressed. We're in a different kind of depression now and I think to put Superman back in that place — to make him very much a champion of the oppressed, the underdog and an outlaw rather than a patriot figure or someone who works with the police — that's what we want to do. To bring him back to his roots.
You've worked on many established characters but also created some of your own. Do you prefer working on originals?
I think obviously creating your own stuff has a kind of special thrill, because you're drawing directly on your own imagination. But there's something very interesting to work as part of an immense chain of artisans who have been creating this stuff for so long.
So you don't find working on someone else's characters stifling?
I've never felt that at all. The way I look at it is almost like aboriginal art. Every generation of aboriginal artist comes in and repaints the mess and they put their hands up and they spray over them and they draw the circles on the rainbow serpent. I really feel as if that's what I'm getting to do, is to come in as this generation's representative and repaint the cave walls.
You've had the opportunity to work on nearly every major superhero. What have you enjoyed working on the most and what was the biggest challenge?
The one that I've enjoyed most is Batman, which I've spent a lot more time on than I ever imagined. The X-Men, which were interesting to write, were slightly unpleasant. They're so angsty. I found myself constantly having to write reasons for people to fall out or be angry at one another. It was quite stressful. There's always something awful going on in their lives. I don't quite get that with Batman; I'm allowed to play with something a little purer.
With the exception of the X-Men, you've primarily written DC superheroes. Is there a reason?
I always preferred the DC characters. They always seemed closer in spirit to the pantheon and gods of various cultures. They were very pure. Batman is Hades or Pluto or any of these underworld gods. Aquaman is Neptune. The Marvel stuff, they're kind of heroes with problems, which never really appealed to me. I liked heroes with no problems because it was harder to imagine a human being who had no problems and who really only wanted to help others.
Are you still able to read comics as a fan?
Yeah, as a very uncritical fan. I read comics in the bath and I pretty much love all of them. I may read them out of the bath and be like, that one wasn't as good as I thought it was. But I usually think everything is great.

To kick some more butt I guess. He probably has never done something fun in a while. :)
Morrison talked about the new Action Comics at Comic Con.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=33444 (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=33444)
QuoteThat's all well and good, another fan told the writer, but which did Morrison like more: writing Batman or Superman? Morrison said while he goes back and forth, he was "buzzed" to be writing Superman again.
"The capitalist millionaire seems to have a little less to say to us now than the champion of the oppressed," laughed Morrison.
Explaining that his Superman in "Action Comics" would be a more mischievous, "anti-authoritarian" character, Morrison reveled that Clark Kent would become almost as big a name in Metropolis as Superman.
"He's a social reformer, and Clark Kent does as much work as Superman basically uprooting corruption and exposing corruption, so the two of them are working in tandem," said Morrison. Elaborating that in his version Ma and Pa Kent are dead, Morrison told the audience his Superman will be more of a mischievous character.
"Justice may not involve the law in Superman's eyes," added Morrison.

his spot on about the marvel / dc debate.
It's only true for Superman, Batman and Captain Marvel though. To have such a pure, flawless character, you need to have an incredibly strong core concept. That's only true for those three, the other DC characters are far weaker. One could say that Kirby's Fourth World stuff counts, and I would agree, but they're not really superheroes.
Whilst Marvel characters are usually chock full of angst, there are characters like Captain America and the Punisher which have incredibly strong core concepts. The resonate just as strongly as DC characters when done right. He also glosses over the fact that DC have plenty of angst ridden titles - Flash, Teen Titans - but Marvel simply does it better with characters like Spider-man and Daredevil and the X-men because they cover such a broad spectrum and they live in the 'real' world and all deal with relatable issues.
Speaking of DD I'm reading this and I really can't see him working as well on film.
Especially his powers. Hearings easy to do but touch and taste and smell I'm not sure'll work without constant voice overs.
Yeah, the internal monologue is an intrinsic part of his character. Have you read the issue where his powers go haywire after the courthouse bombing?
If they could find a way to make that work in a film it'd be amazing, but you'd need some seriously innovative director.
On that one now.
Also in born again, when he talks about the hospital sheets feeling like sandpaper.
Details like that would get lost in a movie.
Unless shit starts getting really surreal. I picture extreme close ups of cotton with horrible grindy sound effects or something.
Yeah I've got limited experience with marvel I still need to read some of that good DD stuff.
Quote from: Aeus on Jul 22, 2011, 02:05:40 PMYeah, the internal monologue is an intrinsic part of his character.
That's why we need Michael C. Hall for the movie. That guy knows how to do it. ;D

Yeah when a good writer gets a hold of DD they do such awesome things with the way he perceives the world. He's one of the few characters where his powers literally work best in the medium of comics.

aw
Foggy's da man.
After reading Schism #1 an finding out their re-launching all the X-Books. I was so angry, Its a slap to the face to every fan who picks these books up every month. I hate re-launching of books. I see that DC is also doing this with all their titles. I saw the Previews an there are some great creators on them but why bother. They will just do it again 5 years later. This is the thing I hate with the comic industry.
Im actually getting excited for the DC relaunch, but relaunching the X Men titles is a mistake. While im not much of an X men fan,I understand how frustrating it is to relaunch a series that has such a following for no apparent reason is annoying as hell.

I always find hyper-detailed stuff destroys the pace of a comic. You need to strike a fine balance.
It's the second last panel. And it's light on dialogue so the pacing was decent.
Just oozes style.

sometimes a hyper detailed double page spread is simply there to make you stop and take it all in for a couple of minutes, i like that occasionally.

Marvel seems to do this every five years. I have so many number one's to books that have been forgotten. Plus the creators on the X-Men books don't have me excited like the DC launch. The one book I'm looking forward to is the new Justice League with Jim Lee doing the art.

God that art is absolutely stunning! If even
half of today's comics had art like that, I would go through the absurd amount of trouble to actually follow them.
You know I find most of a comics pacing can be controlled by the reader. Sure there are lots of different panel styles and page layouts, but a person can read through the comic slow or fast depending. This has always seemed weird to me, that even if you paced a comic well, it doesn't necessarily mean the reader will follow your lead.
It think it works more on a subconscious level. You won't be aware the pace is being dictated, but your brain will.

QuoteThe books final image - in the last panel of Watchmen #12 - was of the same face, seen now on the T-shirt of a young man named Seymour, who stood poised to undo the book's entire plot. The story became a perfect circle, inviting us to complete its circuit by returning to the first page and 'Rorschach's Journal,' and suddenly we were reading the words again - 'DOG CARCASS IN ALLEY...' - implicated in a new and terrible understanding: WE were Seymour, reading the journal, joining the story right here where, as we'd been reminded the first time, 'The end is nigh."
And indeed, the end, which still lay three hundred pages away in the forward time axis of the story, was always a mere two panels "nigh" in the past-time direction of Watchmen! That glance back to page 1 made us all readers of Rorschach's journal, opening it for the first time. The end was nigh from the very beginning.
The book's last words are "I LEAVE IT ENTIRELY IN YOUR HANDS," and if the reader asks, "What?," the answer awaits on the first page of the journal. The responsibility for completing the story may seem to be our own, but we are guided to its inevitable end by the ever-present Watchmaker. Moore and Gibbons know that their complex masterpiece will be reread.
They have set up their readers to pull the fatal switch, drafted them as executioners to undermine the world's greatest superhero's ultimate utopian triumph. We were made complicit in Moore's inal mean joke, with a story that was completed beyond the page - in the reader's mind - and where the chance discovery of Rorschach's crazed journal undid the perfect plan of the perfect man.
f**kin Grant.
Supersanity.
I want to read this but I'm afraid its going to blow my mind so much I'll be left a drooling mess.
I'm surprised he digs Watchmen. It's like the ultimate retort to any of his stuff - bar Arkham.
Superheroes are shit versus superheroes are awesome.
I remember hearing he didn't like it.
I guess he just likes all that subtle shit about it but not what it does to superheroes.

Guy Pearce would devour that role.
But that'll never happen, he's too old and thinks comics are for faggots.

its up on hulu http://www.hulu.com/watch/260325/grant-morrison-talking-with-gods (http://www.hulu.com/watch/260325/grant-morrison-talking-with-gods)
QuoteAt Comic-Con, io9 had a chat with the one and only Grant Morrison. The Scottish author told us about his new superhero history book/autobiography Supergods, his plans for Dinosaurs Versus Aliens, and the ideal Superman for the 21st century.
You've built your career on comics. Why a book?
It was initially supposed to be a book of past interviews on the subject of superheroes. So I wrote a new introduction, and they said, "Oh, we really like this new introduction, could you write all new material?" So it basically came around as an accident. The idea was to tell the entire history of superheroes within context, because quite clearly they moved from this dark, underground comic book cult area to the mainstream of culture.
Why do we love them so much, what do they represent over the years, how have they changed? And because a lot of people might not be specifically interested in a book of superheroes — but might be interested in the story of someone [who's worked with them] — there's a personal dimension to it as well.
Later in Supergods, you discuss your experiences writing in the early 2000s, which was a creatively fertile time for comics. Would you say you're the first person to provide a popular history of this era?
I hadn't even thought about it. Possibly. I also write about the Image Comics in the 1990s, and there's so little talked about in that period and what it represented. It was the same for the period around 2000. We had things like The Authority and the rise of kind of the socialist, leftist superhero. It kind of tied into the No Logo, anti-corporate world we were living in.
And then suddenly 9/11 happened, and almost overnight superheroes become co-opted by the military-industrial complex and you get things like The Ultimates, who work with the army. That transformation is so incredible. I think there's a lot more work to be done in that, I only had it at the end of my story. Also, I was involved with it. I didn't have the ironic distance I needed to tell the true history, but I wanted to cover everything.
In the book, you talk about how you're less pleased with your depiction of Magneto in New X-Men nowadays. Why is that?
Magneto started out as a violent, unpleasant character with magnetic powers, but over the years, Chris Claremont and other writers transformed Magneto into a sensitive anti-heroic survivor of the death camps. But I had still felt that he had become too soft, we were letting this guy away with the fact that really he was a terrorist. We had just suffered this huge terrorist attack, and I wanted to get into the mind set of people who do this stuff. They talk about big ideas, but all they want to do is hurt people they don't agree with.
So I wanted to take Magneto in that direction, but it didn't go down well with the fans. People hated the fact that I undermined all the character building over the years. So I felt disappointed, I didn't want to upset the fans. I thought I was doing something they could understand and relate to.
What's next for Grant Morrison? The democratic Superman, prehistoric UFO invasions, and SupergodsFor someone unfamiliar with superheroes, what do you hope they'll walk away with after reading Supergods?
What I wanted to do was something like if you've never heard of movies or music. That's a mad idea, but I wanted to introduce this amazing history created by these interesting, eccentric characters. We have our Warhols, we have our Dalís, but I think people should be aware of these great [superheroic] works because they're as great as the great works in any other medium. I was thinking of people like Nick Kent and Lester Bangs who brought themselves into the story, and that's the kind of book I was aspiring for.
What sort of themes in Supergods will we see in your upcoming run on Action Comics?
For the first chapter, I went back to Action Comics #1 — I've always seen it nostalgically. But when I read it again, I thought about how it must have seemed in 1938. Nothing like it had ever been done before, even the narrative and the types of editing were so advanced that they had no idea what was happening. It was like MTV with the fast cut. That completely rewired me as to what Superman was all about. In the original, he's this brash young champion of the oppressed.
He doesn't care about the law, he's all about justice. If the law gets in his way, then he'll break the law quite happily. That really informed what we're doing now. The hero that worked in the Depression was the champion of the poor, and that could work again in our current context. I was bringing him back to those roots, a Superman who can be hurt, who can be messed up, who can bleed. He struggles to do what he does, but at the same time, he's not a figure of the law, he's not a patriot or a dad figure. It's taking him back to the idea of just having superpowers and a t-shirt and jeans.
So were not going to see, say, Darkseid running around.
There's no Darkseid, but there will obviously be science fiction elements because Superman has to deal with that as well. It's a lot more about social injustice and corruption in high places.
You're currently working on Dinosaurs Vs. Aliens. What can we expect from that?
Barry Sonnenfield came to me and the guys from Liquid Comics and he said to me, "I've got this idea, dinosaurs versus aliens." And I went, "Sounds like the perfect, ultimate Hollywood movie." And he's written a very nice one-page treatment. I developed Barry's treatment into this full-length script and on the way it got very epic in scope. I realized we could tell this really huge science fiction story that was also the most exciting film any child could hope to see. So it does what it says on the tin — it's dinosaurs versus aliens — but I can't say too much about it. It's the most fun in years I've had writing anything.
And how about Sinatoro, which you mentioned at last year's Comic-Con?
I've got 147 pages of screenplay, and I'm getting it down to 120 pages.
What sort of aesthetic works are informing your writing these days?
Video games are the thing for me. I really feel like in 5-10 years you'll be able to put yourself in any movie. The actor or the star will disappear. Everyone's a star on Facebook and Twitter, the concept of genius and stardom is breaking down and becoming democratic.
It's also why I'm doing the democratic Superman who's much more a man of the people. The superhero ideal is making it to the streets, there are kids dressing up as heroes.
Like the fellow who dresses up as Deadpool and patrols a city in Washington state.
Yeah, and there's that guy Phoenix Jones in Seattle. It's becoming real, this idea resonates in the West, with ecological catastrophe and doom and guilt and shame. The superhero ideal rises up to remind people to be the best they can be and maybe there's a way out of the cul-de-sac of disaster we've gotten ourselves into.
We've got new medical advances, new technologies. You have the entire planet as a database, you don't need a memory anymore because you have this tiny [smart] phone. That's a superhuman device, 30 years ago that was Jack Kirby's Motherbox. We're gearing up to a superhuman future. We've seen superheroes as bad guys, as tools of the military-industrial complex, as losers and failures and psychological f**k-ups. We've tested the idea of them becoming human. This is the social realist fiction for the people of tomorrow, for them to look back and see what to do with themselves.
With the breakdown of celebrity and onset of virtual environments, will we see the inception of the Grant Morrison Infosphere, where people can upload themselves into your consciousness?
God help them, they'd reach for the emergency call if they had to spend time in my head!

Yeah its fantastic. I love his story about Superman.
Yeah he really gets and loves the character (take note john nolan, and snyder)His a Great storyteller in general, I think that's what makes the documentary so compelling, thank f**k for the subtitles though haha.
I love being able to understand every word he says :3
My favorite part is when he talks about how superman should be completely relaxed and friendly all the time.
It makes total sense.
Lol my favorite part was Warren Ellis talking about him locked in a room all f**ked up on drugs "writing breakthroughs" (paraprhasing) and whatshername talking about taking mushrooms on a hill with him, imagine that he would do your head in hard.
"NAHHH
I'M WRITIN'
IM HAVIN BREAKTHROUUUGHS"
and then the door just closed on its own.
Thats it, love it so much.

I have next to no context for that image but I am deeply in love with it.
show me more please
Right I thought here would be as good a place as any to ask.
Im a total comic / graphic novel virgin. Never read any (well one) nor have I ever felt like I wanted to. Until now.
Ive never been a huge fan of superheros but ive always loved all things Batman and after reading my first ever Graphic Novel earlier this year (Sin City: Family Values which I got as a birthday present) I for the first time feel like I want to get stuck into some Batman graphic novels.
After doing a spot of research and reading a quick synopsis, these titles which I think I have in chronological order are where I want to begin and in the order i'll eventually pick them up and read them:
Year One
Prey
The Long Halloween
Dark Victory
The Killing Joke
Death In The Family
Hush
Under The Hood
The Dark Knight Returns
Basically if any of you in the know have any suggestions as to wether I should skip any of these or try and pick up others before reading some on this list, or just generally any recommendations give me a shout! Ta very much.
First, scrap any idea of chronology. Just read whats good.
Don't read Death in the family, Prey, Hush or Under the Hood. Dark Victory can be skipped as well. Replace all four with Arkham Asylum.
Why shouldnt I read them? Just not very good?
And if I can help it, I think id just prefer to try and read them in some sort of order if its possible. If not then tough, but I wouldnt read series of books out of order or do it with films or games and while these arent always direct sequels some of them do have themes and ideas, even events and plot threads that get picked up again do they not?
Make sure that you read The Long Halloween before Dark Victory at least. :)
Haunted Knight is worth checking out. It really has no connection to Long Halloween or Dark Victory but I like to think of it as part of Loeb/Sale's little trilogy. :)

Ive never been a huge fan of superheros but ive always loved all things Batman and after reading my first ever Graphic Novel earlier this year (Sin City: Family Values which I got as a birthday present) I for the first time feel like I want to get stuck into some Batman graphic novels.
After doing a spot of research and reading a quick synopsis, these titles which I think I have in chronological order are where I want to begin and in the order i'll eventually pick them up and read them:
Year One
Prey
The Long Halloween
Dark Victory
The Killing Joke
Death In The Family
Hush
Under The Hood
The Dark Knight Returns
Basically if any of you in the know have any suggestions as to wether I should skip any of these or try and pick up others before reading some on this list, or just generally any recommendations give me a shout! Ta very much.
That list looks good to me, also take a look at Knightfall, especially with the TDKR coming next year.
Anyway the DC reboot happens in a month, if you want to get back into it I suggest you just have a look at some of the #1's coming then.
Speaking of which I think the titles I'll be getting at launch are:
Action Comics
Justice League
Batman
Detective Comics
Nightwing
Aquaman
Green Lantern
Green Lantern: New Guardians
Red Lanterns
Deathstroke
The last two I'm not sure if they will last but I'll give them a chance.

If you want to read some twisted but amazing stuff, pick up Joker and Arkham Asylum. Under The Hood can be avoided too. Batman:Son of the Demon is also very good in my opinion, but if you have no interest in Ras al Ghul you may not enjoy it. Just make sure to read Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, they're probably the best Batman graphic novels out there.
I can never decide which one I like better.
They're both so great.
I feel that way sometimes. But if I had to choose, it would be Year One. As influential as Returns was, I prefer Mazzucchelli's art over Miller's.

Well by lunch time tomorrow i'll be getting stuck into my first little collection of Graphic Novels. Ive ordered Year One, The Killing Joke, TDKR and Arkham Asylum from Amazon all for £35 with guaranteed next day delivery by 1pm ;D
The other ones that caught my eye and sounded very interesting were alot more expensive and im not willing to pay £20 for paperback novels just yet when I might not even like them.
But If i enjoy reading these im definately going to try and pick up The Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Hush because they sound great.
That's a great set of comics to buy.
But don't buy Hush, it's a waste of time.
it does have nice art though, and lots of cameos. but yeah other than that it's not that great.
I thought Hush was alright, but it's not as controversial and fantastic as they make it out to be
Ok thanks for the heads up guys.
I think ill pick up the other Sin City volumes as well. A friend bought me Family Values for my birthday and I really enjoyed it so I think ill get the other four that came before it.
Not sure how many came after it or if they are still ongoing though.
Hush was very good, but I haven't read some of the other big Batman collections, they're probably better. I just love that freaking Jim Lee art! Its definitely no waste of time, though.
Spoiler
The Bats/Supes fight was great, well-written for both characters by Jeff Loeb

I really hate it all. Just really so tired of it, no comments are left.
Can't wait until batman is a half asian homosexual transvestite.
Well they have arrived and im about to get stuck into Year One ;D
Edit:
Finished Year One and absolutely loved it.
Ive ordered The Man Who Laughs, The Long Halloween and Dark Victory so I think ill read The Dark Knight Returns before I get stuck into those and then The Killing Joke. Think ill leave Arkham Asylum until after those because I think that looks like its going to be the one thats harder to enjoy as a complete comic noob.
So until the other three arrive that ive just ordered I might as well stick with Miller while im at it.
as far as i'm concerned, you might aswell read the Dark Knight Strikes Again, if you are reading DKR, Year One etc, a lot of people wil say "don't", but for the sake of completeness i feel you should.

Out of all those, I think The Long Halloween and Dark Victory was the ones I enjoyed the most. Love the art in those two as well. :)
More than Killing Joke, Year One or DKR?
Hm, maybe not as much as Killing Joke. Wouldn't say they're better than Year One or DKR, but I certainly enjoyed them more myself.
Just finished TDKR. Wow compared to Year One that was insane. Quite hard to follow at first but it all comes together in the end.
I dont think I want to read Dark Knight Strikes Again from what ive heard and read about the story synopsis. TDKR feels final to me.
What I dont understand is why Superman just did what the US Government wanted? Why was he a pawn just blindly going along with it all? Did I miss something?
Yeah, you can skip Strikes Again. It's when Miller started to go off the deep end.

Because that's what his character is like. He's a good guy who uses his powers to save people, but within the realms of the law. He's not going to openly defy the government if they're not overtly evil.
He's not some relentless psychotic like Bruce.
Just finished The Killing Joke. Loved that ending where theyre standing in the rain laughing.
Damn im getting hooked.
Think thats enough for one day.

Probably a little late to post being your reading most of the best ones but its a list on IGN of the 25 Greatest Batman Graphic Novels (Even though the list is a little dated, nothing from recent years really)
Don't know if this has been announced but the identity of the new Ultimate Spider-Man has been announced.
http://marvel.com/news/story/16394/the_new_ultimate_comics_spider-man (http://marvel.com/news/story/16394/the_new_ultimate_comics_spider-man)
ehh...I dont know. Peter Parker IS Spiderman. No Peter Parker, no Spiderman. Recently I've lost interest in Spiderman anyway. They're pushing TOO hard for diversity. Half African American, Half Hispanic and homosexual? C'mon, thats pretty shallow. I have no problem with any of those races or sexual preferences, but they pushed it a little too hard trying to be diverse. I feel they're gonna just focus on his ethnicity and not the character in the comics.Whatever, I stopped reading Ultimate Spiderman a long time ago
It's just pointless. Why name him Spider-man? Give him a character of his own.
He should just be called Spider-Mang >_>
Spidermans dead in my opinion. Between this and the movie reboot, I give up
Should've given up after One more day to be honest.
My god don't remind me :D
Some wounds never heal.
The way Spiderman's shaping out is one of the reasons I've been turned off Marvel. I still love the movies, I read Punisher and Daredevil every now and then,and Deadpool's pretty cool, but im almost completely DC, and by DC I mean Batman ;D
I'm almost exactly the same as you.
I read a little bit of everything, but I'm more of less the same as what you said.
I was honestly done with Spider-Man when I saw this:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2Fhuff-wires%2F20090108%2Fobama-spider-man%2Fimages%2F9091300f-755e-4d9f-8575-7c4fa3c64f89.jpg&hash=70396b2e46c5300e20e271ed08532f3355e85ae4)
And it's not because I can't stand Barry (which I can't.) Maybe they've done this before and I didn't notice, but it's the principle. Please god Marvel, you make comic books, please just keep the political opinions to yourself and keep making great comics? Please?
Marvel: Naw.
It's like there's nowhere to hide from this b/s anymore, not even comic books are safe.
I saw a Sarah Palin comic book once. Needless to say, I left that goddamn website ;D
Yes, no politicians in my gorram comics please, unless they're being shot at and screaming like bitches.
Just out of plain curiousity, who's looking forward to Frank Miller's Holy Terror? Even though im gonna buy it, I cant shake the feeling that it's gonna suck
It looks kind of goofy? I mean, I think Miller is a great writer, though I'm far from having read all of his stuff.
Even though it looks like hobo Punisher mad about 9/11, I have faith he'll deliver on the story front. Don't know how I feel about the art, though.
I can't wait.
It's gonna be a riot.
Just read this and it was pretty decent. I liked how they keept Frank in the dark for most of the time, creating a great atmosphere. Not having him be the focus of the story was a nice touch as well. The art worked great, I really liked it.

For comedy sure. But nothing else.
All star B&R is only funny if you're really into batman.

The first time I read it I hated it, the second time I found it entertaining. I wonder if that was what Miller was going for, but I aughed my ass of when GL got the shit beaten outta him

Yeah, it's quite a pisstake. Batman is basically Rorschach with a cowl. :laugh:
Yeah, except more child molesteryish :D
The Man Who Laughs just came through the post. Ill be getting stuck into that straight away. Is it almost a directly after Year One?
That's what they say or at least what Ed Brubaker says. By the way, have you read The Killing Joke yet? Don't remember if you mentioned reading that or not. :)
Yeah. I really enjoyed The Killing Joke I thought it was fantastic.
Jokers
Spoiler
attack on Barbara was so sudden and brutal
.
Im really enjoying getting to see and read the stories that ive heard about for so long. Makes me appreciate the little nods in Arkham Asylum (the game) more. I played some of it the other day and one of the things Joker says on the tannoy is "Theres these two guys in an aslyum...oh wait have I told you this before". I thought that was fantastic.
Ive just finished The Man Who Laughs and it does seem to take place not too long after Year One, although Gordons line at the end of Year One now doesnt make much sense. He says "Somebody is trying to poison the Gotham resevoir, calls himself The Joker." but then in The Man Who Laughs, Jokers plot to do so isnt revealed until near the end so that little comment doesnt quite make sense anymore because he shouldnt have known at that stage.
It came with another story in the paperback called Made of Wood which saw Batman and Green Lantern team up to try and figure out a 50 year old series of murders that have restarted again. I enjoyed that too.
I also just finishing reading Arkham Asylum. That ending with Two-Face was fantastic.

I liked TDKR and TKJ the most out of the three and I'm kinda half and half with MWL. I still need to get The Long Halloween.
Im awaiting The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush and Heart of Hush in the post! ;D
I enjoyed The Man Who Laughs almost as much as The Killing Joke but I certainly wouldnt argue TKJ is the better of the two.
Not really sure what to read after that.
I got my hands on the new Venom series 1-5.
I love it thus far. :)
I also got Ghost Rider Fear Itself 1.

I actually bought the paperback version of The Dark Knight Returns today. I've only read it on my computer before, but it felt like a totally different experience reading the actual book. I've only read the first chapter so far, but I'm enjoying it a lot more than I usually do.

Yeah, was not expecting Lori's death at all. Having the baby and all, I was expecting her to make it further, but that was just tragic. Nice to see the Governor get what he deserved.
The Long Halloween and Dark Victory came in the post today.
First thing that struck me was how big they both are compared to the others ive been reading. Most of them have been 150 pages at best but these are 350 plus.
Plenty to get stuck into before Hush and Heart of Hush arrive.
Yeah the Long Halloween is pretty long, as is Dark Victory. When your reading The Long Halloween though, keep an eye out for movie references, theres a ton of them in it
Finished The Long Halloween.
What a great read. Sustained the mystery all the way to the end and I certainly did not see that final twist coming at all. Wow.
I was going to hang on but Im going to get stuck straight into Dark Victory.
Just finished The Dark Knight Returns. Don't really care for the way Miller portrays Superman, like he would do anything he's asked to as long as it's someone with authority that asks him. Superman isn't above breaking the law when it comes to doing what is right. The way I see Superman, he wouldn't let himself be used as a weapon in a war.
Keg: Which Batman story would you say you like best so far?
Superheroes were outlawed. He wasn't going to become an outlaw, it was really the only option he had.
Quote from: Aeus on Aug 08, 2011, 06:44:24 PMSuperheroes were outlawed.
Hm, completely missed that. :-[
Guess it makes a whole lot more sense then.
I felt the same the first time I read it, but the after a few more readings Superman's portrayal actually grew on me. It's obvious Miller prefers Batman, but he writes a good Supes.

I missed that too because I asked that very same question. Ill have to re-read it and take more time with it. Alot of the little news cast snippets are quite important and its easy to overlook them.
Well so far ive read:
Year One
TDKR
The Man Who Laughs / Made Of Wood
The Killing Joke
Arkham Asylum
The Long Halloween
Out of those I really couldnt say which Ive enjoyed the most. I really enjoyed Year One, The Killing Joke and The Long Halloween. I will say I preferred Year One to TDKR and that probably puts me in a minority right?
I really dont know. Im having a ball reading them anyway and I cant wait to get stuck into more. Im so new to it all (not jsut Batman but comics fullstop) so I probably dont look at them and view them the same way as somebody like Aeus would.
Im thinking of picking up Knightfall which I think comes in two volumes as I havnt seen a complete edition anywhere on the internet.
I want to try and find some trade paperbacks that involve Dicks transition into Nightwing and the start of Jason as Robin. I also want to try and find one with the start of Batgirl and the when she first becomes Oracle after The Killing Joke.
Basically im trying to find the stories with the big events that change the storylines of all future stories. Im trying to fill in the gaps for some of the bigger plot points and obviously im never going to be able to do that fully because ive started so late but id like to try.
The comics where 'big changes' happen are almost never very good. Especially with a character like Batman. All his best stories are fairly low on plot, but heavy on character and atmosphere - Year One, Arkham Asylum, TDKR, Killing Joke.
But if you still want to read something where the Batsaga is shaken up then buy all the volumes of No Mans Land and read them.

Actually you preffering Year One to TDKR is pretty common. I prefer TDKR but I feel Year One is the better book.
Knightfall comes in 3 volumes, but be warned, its nothing spectacular. Still, it may be a good idea to read them before The Dark Knight Rises next year
I prefer Year One to TDKR. But TDKR is a much better comic.

I wonder if they'll use any of that in TDKR, seeing as how there's already an earthquake machine in there. Could make sense if Bane and the League is trying to destroy the city, and Batman and his bat army has to keep things together.

Has the earthquake machine been confirmed?
Quote from: Aeus on Aug 08, 2011, 08:05:39 PMHas the earthquake machine been confirmed?
I guess it's only speculation so far, but it looked like they had some sort of machine in the set photos from the football arena.
That and all the promo images are of stuff being shattered and crumbling so it would make sense that Bane has an Earthquake machine.

That's the problem with comics, people don't stay dead.
I knew that he would be back. People hardly stay dead forever since they will come back or create a twist that they where never dead in the first place. Like Galactus for example, they thought he died but didn't.
Damn, for once I thought when someone would die they would stay dead
I just picked up the 1st 2 issues of Spider-Island and Ghost Rider point one, and Ghost Rider Fear Itself 1 and 2.
I love both series so far.

So what? If that's his style, then that's his style. If Lee wants to make "eye candy" and shit loads of splash pages then let him.
In my opinion, I don't think there necessarily has to be a balance between the art and the writing. The artist does his/her thing and the writer does theirs. Does the art have to speak to the reader every time? Of course not.
His characters have ridiculous anatomy, his poses are overblown or melodramatic, he has no sense of pacing, and his layouts are uninspired.
But hyper detailed sells I guess.
And your opinion is ridiculous. It's a collaborative medium.

Yes of course, but no one's really going to tell someone to draw differently because someone else doesn't like it. Each artist has their own way of expression. When I say they do their "own thing" its hyperbole for drawing in their style or writing.

In case you haven't noticed, his style is the epitome of a perfect superhero comic book. It's only in this odd age that we live in where superhero comics, originally for children, have been pulled into a more serious realm as their readers inevitably reach their 30s, 40s, and older. Since the comic industry has committed suicide from a business standpoint, creators have to cater to these older remaining audiences, and make something juvenile into something serious and even dark.
I believe in the huge potential of graphic storytelling, but you're judging comic art like it's fine art. Sorry, Mr. Glass, but it's about action, muscles, powers, and awesomeness first, and always has been. The mature emotionally-driven stories are much newer additions to an old medium, and this calls for a new approach to the art. Drawing X-Men or Superman in the same vein as 100 Bullets is less than fitting.
Plus with no visual proof to back up your claims or even offer the potential for an active debate, your opinions are about as good as everyone else's. :D I've read a lot of comic books, and Lee is one of the best there is.

Earth One has its fair share of good moments. I very much disliked it the first times I read it, but I've come to accept it since then. But yeah, the villain is really lame. I'll admit that I'm looking forward to the sequel though.

I read Heart of Hush today. Decent enough sequel and I found it worthwhile reading just because it gave me more background on why Elliot did what he did. It didnt sit right with me in Hush that a kid of 10 would do all that because he wanted his parents money. It was stupid. At least this gave a bit more background to it and made Hush more credible.
Still, nothing special with some hit and miss artwork. Some of it I loved, and some just seemed rushed. Anyway I'm glad I read it on the basis it increased my enjoyment of Hush.
Think i'll pick up Batman: RIP next seeing as Heart of Hush seems to be some part of it (leading upto it perhaps or occurring alongside it) and because its Morrison and Im going to pick up some of his work. It wont be until next month now because I need to keep my cash for the SAFC / NUFC derby next weekend and then Leeds Festival the week after ;D
So thats my first little run of Batman over and ive loved it.
Year One, The Man Who Laughs / Made of Wood, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, The Killing Joke, Arkham Asylum, Hush, Heart Of Hush and TDKR. Cracking stuff.
I never read Heart of Hush. I heard it was nothing special
Its isnt. But I enjoyed it all the same.

Most of those you need to pretty familiar with Batman to appreciate. I recommened you the Batbasics.
How many Batbasics do I need to read to become familiar? >_>
EDIT: I've played Arkham Asylum too if that counts. :D
Yeah you're probably familiar enough now.
Just to brag, even before I read any Batcomics I managed to complete all the riddles without cheating or looking any of them up.

Riddler maps make them fairly easy. :laugh:

Quote from: Aeus on Aug 12, 2011, 08:46:35 PM
Is that one where Catwoman has heart surgery at the end?
Yup. I thought it was a decent little follow on from Hush because it gave more background on Tommy Elliott and him becoming Hush didnt seem so ridiculous after reading it.
I was going to read Hush Returns which occurs inbetween Hush and Heart of Hush because Heart of Hush also deals with events from Returns but after reading several reviews, almost all of them said ti was terrible with a disjointed story which goes nowhere only to skip several issues and replace them with a single page of text to describe whats happened and then onto a final few pages to wrap it up. And after all that it ends on a cliffhanger that apparently doesnt get resolved in Heart of Hush.
Basically it sounded horrible so I didnt bother.
I was in a comic store earlier and picked up issues 1-4 of The Walking Dead Survivor's Guide. Should be interesting to read.
I also saw the Captain America movie tie-in. Maybe some day I'll pick that up, and the Iron Man ones. Should be easy to get into without much comic book knowledge. Did anyone read those? Are they any good?
Can anyone recommend me good scifi comics similar to Ender's Game or Shrapnel?
So I finally got a chance to read
Daredevil #1 by Mark Waid & Paolo Rivera.
So good. Spoiler
DD and Cap next issue, awe yeaaah.
Has anyone read Iron Man 2 Public Identity? I'm thinking about ordering it for cheap, but I would like to hear some opinions first. If I get it and like it, I might get Captain America First Vengeance.
It's okay, both of them are okay. I personally wouldn't recommend buying them, there are much better comics on offer for both characters.
Yeah, I'm sure that there are much better comics out there, but since they are connected to the movie universe, which I am familiar with, I figured that they would be easier for me to get into, and might help me to maybe branch out a little.
Think that they would be good for me like that?
In that sense yeah, but there are plenty of stand alone titles for each that require no knowledge going in.
I'm pretty sure the entire Marvel Knights run of Cap you can right read form the outset with no prior knowledge.

If you're looking for a good Iron Man story, check out
Demon In A Bottle, in which Tony battles alcoholism. Something the movies very mildly touched on -if- at all. It's pretty self contained.

I've heard great things about that one.
I'm thinking that, just because I'm a bit hyped up for The Avengers movie right now, I'll check out the two MCU comics first (and maybe the
Agents of SHIELD one shot), and then afterwards try to get a hold of a few standalone stories like
Demon in a Bottle. I kind of know what that story is about (him struggling with alcoholism), which was briefly touched on in Iron Man 2. That would be something interesting to see happen in Iron Man 3.

All of the people in here are pretty much superheroes, dude. I love sci-fi, but it's funny that sci-fi comics are hard to come by. Really I'm drawing a blank :D the ones I love the most are Dark Horse. If you haven't done the obvious and investigated the Aliens and Predator Expanded Universe, you should. Some of those comics are bad ass, some are not so great, but it's definitely worth reading.
The Terminator also has a few decent series, and Dark Horse has Omnibus books of each franchise, including AvP. It's quite cool.
Maybe also try Wetworks, Hellboy is pretty damned awesome, great stories... Those are kind of horror. Armorines by Valiant is one of my all-time favorite series, but no one much knows what the hell the books are.

They are pretty awesome, kind of a different take on Starship Troopers. Great stuff by Valiant, they also did the original Turok: Dinosaur Hunter which was so beast.
Let me think some more.
Just ordered V For Vendetta and Batman: RIP.
Gaaah I couldnt resist but it was only £15 for the both of them. I wasnt going to get anymore until next month but I gave in.
I loved V For Vendetta (the film) and while Ive heard it differs alot from the Graphic Novel im sure I'll enjoy it. Ive heard great things about it.
I ordered Batman: RIP because it was only £6 and the story is linked in with Heart Of Hush which ive just read and also because Aeus recommended I read more Morisson.
Oh man...
You gotta read all of Morrisons stuff before you read RIP. It won't make much sense otherwise.
Batman and Son - Black Glove - RIP... I think that's the order.
Righto I will. Heart Of Hush mentions Black Glove so it must take place between Black Glove and RIP.
I can wait until ive picked them up if its worth it.
Are both Batman & Son and Black Glove trade paperbacks. At the minute im not really fussed about looking for individual comics. In the future I might if theres a story I want to read that isnt available as a hardcover or tpb.
Yeah you can get them in trades.
Morrison has a really bizarre writing style, but stick with it. Once he takes hold, you'll love his stuff.
I can get Batman and Son, and Black Glove for £15. Think i'll just go ahead and order them. They should all come together on Wednesday if I do.
So are they all seperate stories but with one over-arching plot that eventually comes together in R.I.P.?
Whats the art like in them. While I thought Arkham Asylum was a fantastic read Its not what I'd like to see visually for Batman all the time. Judging by the covers theyre more traditional in a sense am I right?
Tony Daniel does the art for RIP. To me its a nice clean and crisp style with a fair amount of detail.

The art's generic comic art. It's okay.
If you enjoy the writing pick up Return of Bruce Wayne and Batman and Robin v1-3 afterwards.
Generic comic art is what I want as a beginner. Too much Arkham Asylum would put me off. It worked for that story because it was a character study somewhat and less about the action.
So far of the ones ive read ive preferred the art in Year One and The Long Halloween / Dark Victory. I think all three have a similar aesthetic using the blacks and shadows.
Hush looked fantastic and some of the art was gorgeous to look at. But I definatley think Mazzucchelli and Tim Sale's artwork suits Batman and Gotham City the best.
Gotta say though, Catwoman design in Hush looked bad ass. Does each artist do their own interpretation or do they have to stick to a certain look and only change it when the character itself does? I ask because in TLH and DV Catwoman has that purple suit with the tail and then in the others I read (which are all much, much later in continuity) she wore the black catsuit with cowl and goggles which looked great in Hush. I think it was in Hush where she even alludes to the purple costume because she mentions that it was a pain in the ass to get in and out of or something along those lines.
Well, there's really not much continuity between say a book like The Long Halloween and Hush. The Long Halloween was a limited series whereas Hush actually took place in Batman #608-619.
Loeb & Sale could really design Catwoman however they wanted because they weren't tied down by continuity as opposed to a book like Batman or Detective Comics.

Who cares about the Omnibus? That's not worth anything.
Just sayin' mate. Didn't know Todd's stuff was going for that much.
It's Venom that brings the price tag.
I read it just now. Good story; never knew Venom's webbing was organic. I can't really get a grip on Todd's artwork though. It's so...I dunno, "sketchy".
90s art work.
Wouldn't say it's that. 90s art work could really be excellent at times, see: Mark Texeira and Javier Saltares on their Ghost Rider Vol. 2 run.

Eh, 6th of one half.
Batman & Son, Batman: RIP and V For Vendetta arrived today. Still waiting for Batman: The Black Glove. Should be here in the next couple of days and I can get stuck into a hefty slice of Morrison ;D
Get stuck into V for Vendetta first.
It's excellent.
i bet it's better if you know how to read music though :D
Just read Batman & Son.
What the hell was with that final chapter? Suddenly jumping ahead 10-20 years with Damian tracking down that random Batman imposter?
Seemed disjointed and it was a weird ending to the story.
Hopefully it all comes together when I read The Black Glove and RIP. Also this all ties into Final Crisis doesnt it? Would you recommend I pick that up too or will it just confused me with all the other DC characters involved that im not familiar with?
Anyway ill read V next while I wait for The Black Glove.
I honestly don't think I can explain how to understand his run. It just clicks with some people and doesn't with others.
I wouldn't advise buying Final Crisis. That shit melted my mind, and I'm still not sure what happened. I think it was the same for Huol and we're both pretty steeped in comic book lore.
Just read Venom #6. I thought it was pretty interesting.

Final Crisis takes several reads to understand.
And even then its still nuts.
Ill give it a miss for the meantime then.
It wasnt that Batman & Son was confusing it just seemed like the main story was kind of over 3/5 of the way through and then it was like a new story had started which was only loosely connected and then the finale was something entirely different again with only loose connections to the chapter before it.
I enjoyed it anyway and im looking forward to reading Black Glove and RIP. I think once im done with those ill pick up Son of The Demon and Knightfall.

It all pays off with B&R
B&R? ???
Batman and Robin.
What was that run called? I cant find any simply called Batman & Rboin. The only one seems to be based on the film of the same name.

Im done with The Black Glove and im now reading RIP. Its starting to come together now and some things in Batman & Son that left me baffled make sense now. Im glad Ive read these three in order as Aeus warned me to, because i'd be completely lost if I didnt.
Shit kicks off in RIP. It's awesome.
Just finished R.I.P.
Wow. That was incredible. Definately my favourite so far (im counting Batman & Son and The Black Glove in all of this because its just one huge story). The way everything came together was brilliant. A difficult read I must say but worth it in the end. I get the feeling the story isnt finished there.

Batman - The Return of Bruce Wayne and Batman and Robin v1-3 should be your next port of call.
Read what happens to Batman in Final Crisis on wikipedia as well. Glad you're enjoying these. :)
I already did. Is it not worth reading Final Crisis or do you think just knowin what happened to him is enough?
Spoiler
Hes stuck in the past isnt he?
Something like that. I hadn't read Final Crisis before I read it and I did okay. Gets a little crazy towards the end, but just roll with it. It's an epic journey of Batman versus time, adventuring through the pulp roots of comics.
Oh god ive just completely baffled myself now. Ive just tried to find out what to read next and amongst Final Crisis, The Return of Bruce Wayne and Batman & Robin ive discovered a story arc called Last Rites and after reading a quick synopsis of all of them my mind if frazzled.
What the?
The two part epilogue which recounts Batman's career implies when he's rigged up to The Lump its when he thought he was taking part in the experiment which created the three batmen but Last Rites makes it sound like that was after RIP during Final Crisis?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Its like f**king Inception, dreams within dreams, not sure whats real.
Edit:
Hang on. Ive confused myself. Last Rites IS the last two parts of the book. Theyve actually included them as an epilogue in the book. Thank f**k for that because It sounded like two events that are contradicting each other. So basically Last Rites was just a small nod to what happens to Batman in Final Crisis.
I think I will read it and even if alot of it goes over my head at least the Batman portion of the story will give me a bridge to Morrisons further Batman work after it.
All the events like Final Crisis completely mind-f**k me in a bad way. I just dont get it...
Anywho, does anyone have any suggestions as far as Punisher graphic novels or Ghost Rider graphic novels? They're both characters that I've always liked but never read much of.

If there's Punisher you should read, it's

Then if you enjoy those, you can casually make your way through each volume chronologically. :)

I've heard of this one. I'll be sure to check it out
Yup! But only Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters
I didn't really like that series. I used to like Godzilla, but recently I lost interest

So he can turn invisible.
Just like a real spider.
I just read Runaways vol. 9.
Wow, after Whedon's run ended it just sucked.
I agree. After Creators leave their series they always fail. I've seen it so many times.

Okay so I'll pick up Punisher MAX, Road to Damnation, Trail of Tears and Catwoman When in Rome. Coolio
MAX is gonna blow you away.
MAX is more gritty and violent, right?
Quote from: x2SMONEY on Aug 24, 2011, 12:20:32 AM
MAX is more gritty and violent, right?
Yes. It's more grounded in reality. Punisher has no connection to the Marvel Universe - no capes. But Nick Fury does make appearences.
Thats fine with me. Im not an enormous fan of the Marvel Universe anyway. The Marvel heroes I like are the real vigilante types, like Daredevil and Punisher. Spidermans cool, and so is Iron Man, and even though I dont like X Men I feel Wolverine is a Badmuthaf**ka, but they're all just lacking something to me. The idea of Punisher always appealed to me, but I've never read much of him, which is why I want to pick up these GNs.

Its all right but the new artist they got now just is plain horrible. My main issue with the comic is it does not explain much. I mean the first issue kids are playing on the beach then suddenly BOOM! Godzilla appears from under the ground. Its like wait!!! Why was he down there in the first place? They don't even bother with a flashback scene. Some parts of it leave you in the dark, due to lack of explanation.
However my biggest praise for the series is IDW got rights to use monsters from the movies unlike the darkhorse comics. Plus it reminds me of Godzilla mixed with War of the Worlds.
Yeah the beach thing kinda threw me off a bit. I got the first four issues before dropping it off my subscriptions
I read some comics, mainly Marvel. I personally prefer Marvel to DC.
I used to prefer Marvel, but that was when I was like 7 to 9. once I started really getting into Batman again after Batman Begins, I prefer DC by an enormous amount
In other news I recently read Batman The Ressurection of Ra's Al Ghul and Werewolf by Night: In the Blood. Both were fair, but nothing special. Werewolf by Night was probably better though, but the main story was not as good as the extra segment taken from a 70s Werewolf by Night comic in which the Werewolf meets Dracula. Batman: The Ressurection of Ra's Al Ghul however, was utterly mediocre. Nothing redeeming about it whatsoever.
I just started to read Batman:Broken City however, and im thouroughly enjoying this one. Its definately my kind of Batman story, even if at times the artwork is a little average.
I just read The Punisher #2.

The detectives (who reminds me very much of Millis and Somerset from Seven) that are investigating the wedding massacre is as much of focus in the story as Frank himself, who has yet to utter a single word. And I think that works pretty well so far. Really loving the art, some of the best I've seen in recent comics I've read.
Just read this:

My mind completely warped when it was over. Talk about being mind-f**ked...
It was great though. i'll have to read it again to grasp it more, but it was amazing
Yeah it's fantastic.
The ending's incredible yet I like how it shows that Batman can never stop being Batman, even in death.
Just started reading Batman: RIP. Jesus Christ, Morrison sure loves his religious symbolism, doesn't he?
Ok, I have a question...
I haven't really been following comics for a while, so what I really want to know is, what's the deal with the DC reboot again? Are they doing a Crisis thing, or did the writers just decide to start over?

I read Batman and Son and The Black Glove at a library, and I've read Arkham Asylum: A serious House on Serious Earth (Which I found to be a little too much symbolism) So I have an idea whats going on with the whole Black Glove thing and the hypnotizing and whatnot

Ughh, furthur promoting the idea that that damn Burton shitfest "Batman" was a good movie
Anyway back on the subject of heroes being gritty. I love gritty heroes, but not all heroes should be gritty. Most of the actual
superheroes shouldn't attempt at being gritty. Sure they can be dark, but not gritty.

I like it too, and I recognise how incredible the writing is, but something about it just doesn't do it for me. I like it, but it's not really my kind of Batman story...
It's highly entertaining, and the character interaction is superb. I just wish Morrison would write more in the style of Arkham Batman, but I have a feeling McKeans artistic integrity had too much of a say in that to ever see it again.
I just reread Arkham for maybe the 5th time. I like it, but still, it can be a little too much with the art. I wish they kept the same art style, but maybe took away a few of the bizzare pointless panels that were scattered throughout it, and maybe toned it down just a little.

There's nothing pointless in it dude.
Yeah I know I know every one of those odd panels of like a clock or torn fabric has a symbolic meaning but still before I read the script I was like wtf
The script only explains so much. If anything all the script does is let Morrison preach about himself.
I got alot out of it.Reading it the first time some of the religious symbolism was kinda lost on me 'till it was explained in the script.
Being able to see the symbolism is only good if you can see what significance it has in relation to the story and characters.

How can anyone not like Alex Ross?
Anyone who likes Alex Ross should look up the Hildebrandt Brothers. They painted the 1994 Marvel Masterpieces set of cards. Top-notch work that easily rivals Ross'.

I find the hyper realistic art style that he uses to take away from one of the things that make comics great, that they're not supposed too look real. When they look that real they start to look ridiculous in my opinion. Plus, he draws the costumes very campy looking, and most of his stories are extremely campy. I prefer the art styles of say David Mazzucchelli, Lee Bermejo, Frank Miller, Jim Lee or Tim Sale. Alex Ross isnt really a favorite of mine

Agreed, I also dislike how he always draws them looking so pompous.
My only small complaint when it comes to Ross is that most of the heroes have the same thick build, with that damn bull neck. Can't say I mind the realism or classic tone to Ross' comics though.
I want to see an Alex Ross-drawn Ghost Rider ;D
He'd make it look too clean, like the one from the first film.

Is anyone else planning on buying any of the new DC Comics issue 1s? For those who don't know starting tomorrow Wed Aug 31st DC comics is relaunching all of their comics with new issue 1s. New continuity, new everything so you don't need to know about the last 70 years of comics to jump in.
Personally I will be picking up the new Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern series of books. Justice League too.
Anyone else jumping on? Aliens and Predator have always been my favorite comics, with DC's Batman series as a close 2nd, so this is awesome news for me.
Two of my favorite female characters (Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown) are being sidelined for now, but there is always hope for later. The title I am most looking forward to is Scott Snyder's new Batman run and the new Green Lantern: New Guardians, and the new Nightwing series.
I have been reading DC for several years now, but is anyone planning on coming in completely new to comics with this relaunch?
Im picking up Batman, Detective Comics, Justice League and Batman: The Dark Knight (Well, the first 2 issues of TDK)

It was pretty shit.
The characters were basically exaggerated caricatures.
Quote"Speaking of which, what's Darkseid going to look like when his mug shows up?"
"Jim Lee: The take on Darkseid is very different, the way he talks and interacts. He's not as garrulous. Basically he will look different, but we do something eerier and more alien than before. He does maintain that majestic epicness that Darkseid is known for."

I liked it. The art was great.
It was mostly the Green Lantern/Batman show though.
Hal Jordan actually has overconfidence and some smugness so he has a major step up personality wise. Batman is...still kind of a dick, but I am a bit worried hat they are going to keep him as a "bat-god" who never looses.
Cyborg (Vic) got some MUCH needed character development and refinement. We see him as a normal guy and the comic goes a long way to making him sympathetic and someone we feel for.
Superman: I like his new costume mostly, but he does seem kind of menacing (for all of his 1 page) witch is the opposite of what he should be as SUPERMAN. At least he showed Hal whats up.
Also a mention of Darkseid. Awesome. Really builds him up as a potential Big Bad.
Overall this was good. I would rate it 4/5, and I hope this brings in a lot of new readers.

All the designs will change in like a year anyway. This is comics.
Thank you for that pearl of wisdom.
I'm just saying.
They're always revising costumes, and when people don't like it, they revert to the status quo.
Status quo
The cancer of the comics industry
Not saying I like it. In fact, that's why my favorite comics right now are The Walking Dead and DMZ.

It'd make sense if this was like a really early superman, but the Kents are dead. So Jonathan wont teach him any humility or anything.
There are other people he could learn from. Lois, for example.
Nowhere near as emotional or meaningful.

It's just a bizarre choice. Superman's the nicest, most humble guy in the world. Once again it just feels like they've put everyone in the All Star Batman universe.

Depends on how they would have done it in my opinion. Sure, having a father figure to look up to and teach you about life will leave a great impact. But the same could be said about learning from the woman you love.
As for Superman being a bit cocky, well, I think he could get away with being a bit cocky and still being a really nice guy. As long as it's not overdone and he eventually grow out of it.
It doesn't really work for Superman.
Being cocky and just outright attacking people and starting fights is really out of character. He has all this power and he just wants to use it to help people, that's what he does. He's not a warrior.
They say they want conflict? That's fine. Supermans character naturally conflicts with Batmans. Batman actively goes round beating the shit out of people and using intimidation tactics. That goes against everything Superman does.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F90nxOlsm1s#noexternalembed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F90nxOlsm1s#noexternalembed)
Making people into dickheads for no reason, that are almost caricatures of their former selves is just lazy writing.
Well, I said as long as it's not overdone. I take it you're refering to him attacking Green Lantern and Batman? Yes, that was not something I expected from him. I was thinking more how it was done with The Man of Steel, with him using his powers a bit to put himself above others (when he was a football player), then coming to understand that it's not the right way to go and grow out of it.
I could see it working with him being a bit to confident in his powers early in his career and then learning the hard way that he isn't as invincible as he thinks and be a bit humbled by it.

anyway, i recently read Earth X, and i just ordered Universe X, Paradise X and Invaders Now!

As comically bad as All Star Batman is. Painting the room and everything in it yellow is pretty awesome.
All star Batman is not bad, it's hilarious and it's possibly the closest thing i have read to being DCs answer to Nextwave.
It's unintentionally hilarious, with incredibly poor characterization.
i don't think even frank miller is so nutso that he can write that and not consider it a comedy piece, seriously.
I take it you've not read much of his more recent stuff?
to be honest, no, aside fropm ASBNR and DKSA, which isn't even that new any more,
Those two, Spawn/Batman and his writing on The Spirit movie. I love them, and I find them hilarious, but they are by no means good.
i suppose that is a good way to look at it,
i normally equate good with enjoyable, i'm not very good when it comes to being critical about things i enjoy, which is why every time someone reads DKR, i tell them to read DKSA because i enjoyed it, and then everyone is always on my back because "how can you like DKSA, it's awful"

You liked TDKSA?!! I might have slightly enjoyed it if the art wasn't so awful, but still, its a disaster of a sequel
Just read Action Comics 1. I liked this a lot, made me chuckle when they beat him with a bullet train. Oh you Morrison.
I also read Detective Comics 1...
NEVER AGAIN.
Wait, you liked Action Comics? :-\
While there was some parts of it I kinda liked, there was plenty I thought was horrible. Like the whole intro and the mention that Superman had thrown a guy from a window and broken a few of his bones. I felt like it could just as well have been Batman wearing that Superman outfit.
I did like how he stood up for the little guy though. And I will be following this, just to see how it all plays out.
It's one big homage to Golden Age Superman. That's exactly what it was marketed as.
I haven't read much of the older Superman comics, but the whole thing felt a bit to extreme for Superman in my opinion. I can't remember a single story where he beat up people the way he did in this.
If that was him that threw that guy out of a window that is...
Golden Age Superman was far worse than this.
Imagine a disgruntled working class guy, who happened to be a god, and spent his time going round f**king up the ruling elite and their livelihood.
That's Golden Age Supes. This is a tame version of that. I expect Morrisons arc will have him slowly transform into the modern Superman we know and love though.
And that's why I'm going to follow this. I really want to see that transformation.
Also, sounds like I would do myself a service in picking up some old Superman comics. Could be fun with such a different take on the character.
The very first stuff is awesome. They're genuinely really good.
He takes zero shit. Just straight up kills two Great White Sharks in one issue. :laugh:
Read action comics 1, I like it, for some reason I'm reminded of red son.

Didn't like it. The story wasn't good, some stuff about an agent of some sort being dropped down on Isla Nublar after a drug lord bought it to use as hunting grounds (hunting his enemies, that is). Didn't care for the overall tone either, certainly didn't feel like it could take place in the same universe as the movies. The art wasn't to my liking either, too much anime over the whole thing. :-\
i just got Batman Haunted Knight and Catwoman: When in Rome through the post, kind of annoyed they are DC branded and not Titan branded like my copies of Long Halloween and Dark Victory are, :(
Sweet. Let me know how Catwoman: When In Rome is. Its part of the story of Long Halloween and Dark Victory so i want to read that myself.

Also red it, but i do have to agree with you. I also didn't really like the art. And i felt like it was jumping from one dinosaur encounter to the other. A shame would've loved to read a good jurassic park comic again.

And here I had such high hopes for the red lanterns ongoing.
a f**king psychologist? Really? What happened to the empire of tears? I want to know more of Atty's history with that dammit.
Why is atty tsundere for kronas corpse?
Why does his dead daughter have googly bug eyes and was killed in a different scenario than the previous flashback?
Why is this art so mediocre?

I liked it, but not knowing much of Etrigan's past, it seems like they skipped a lot of history between when Jason was joined with the demon and they showed up at the tavern. That will hopefully be explained later in the series.
Edit: I must say that the art for the new Hulk series look pretty good. :)

An interview with Scott Snyder on Rewriting Batman, the New Gotham City, and Bruce Wayne's Psyche
QuoteYou've written Dick Grayson as Batman, and now Bruce Wayne. What appeals to you about the character?
What appeals to me, no matter who's in the cowl, is how Gotham City challenges them. Gotham is almost a nightmare generator, filled with villains that seem to represent an extension of Batman's greatest fears. A lot of his greatest villains feel like mirrors: the Joker is who Batman would be if he broke his rule and fell into madness; Two Face is a mockery of the duality of his life. But what I love about Bruce in particular, and the reason I'm so excited to be doing Batman, is he's a superhero that has no powers. He takes it upon himself to go out every night, punish himself, and be the best out there. To me, that is both incredibly heroic and exciting, but also really pathological and obsessive.
How is it different, writing Bruce Wayne as Batman?
The thing that was fun about writing Dick Grayson as Batman was that he is who we would be if we were Batman. He's a superhero out of a sense of responsibility, and out of a sense of almost civic duty. Bruce is a superhero completely driven by obsession and a self-lacerating drive. Writing Bruce as Batman, you're dealing with somebody who's probably the most competent superhero in the world. In my mind, Superman, Aquaman, all those characters would be taken down by Batman if there was a battle royale. He knows all their weaknesses because he's paranoid.
DC has pretty much relaunched their entire universe. Is this Batman different than what people are used to?
I think every time somebody takes up the mantle, and writes Bruce, he's their Bruce, and that's part of the fun. In terms of what has changed, barely anything has. If you're somebody whose followed him, all the stuff you liked historically, it's still there. Our story is really about this notion that Bruce doesn't know Gotham the way he thinks he does. To him Gotham is his oldest ally, his home, and his comfort zone. But the city is hundreds of years old, and Batman has only been Batman for a short while, comparatively, so what if the city belonged to another symbol before Batman? The idea is that a secret enemy has existed in Gotham for hundreds of years, and they're going to bring the whole weight of history to bare against Batman and the Bat family. To me what Gotham does best is that it tries to take your greatest strength and convince you that it's your greatest weakness as a hero. For Bruce, that's his confidence that he knows this city better than anyone and can be its ultimate protector.
Besides Batman, you've worked on other established characters, but also your own, like in American Vampire. Was Batman more pressure?
With Batman, people have so many expectations and versions that they adore in their own head. He's a cultural icon. There were some sleepless nights, which my wife can vouch for. I'm writing Batman! There's a level of intimidation and wonder that is particular to him being the greatest superhero of all-time. But at the end of the day, your approach has to be the same. You try and figure out what's most interesting or exciting about a character, and try to develop a story that challenges those aspects of their personality.
Now that you've tackled Bruce Wayne, are there other characters you want to write?
So many, man. I'd love to write Batgirl and get back to writing Dick Grayson at some point. Now I'd love to try Superman. Everyone teases me. They're like, Superman is too bright and I'd make him all dark and depressed. But I think I could do it. I'm a happy guy as well.
i was reading Catwoman When in Rome, and Catwoman states that The Joker's hair is purple! wtf? is that just Loeb making a mistake that somehow survived the editing process, or Loab trying to imply that Catwoman doesn't know the Joker particularly well?
Just read the new issue of Green Lantern Corps. Good stuff, Guy and John are more interesting to read about than Jordan in my opinion.

Posted this in Just Talk but I figured it'd be more appropriate here.
Those rules are kind of nonsense. They say one color is a hero color and then say it's a villain color. Plus, they got some facts wrong. Batmans costume was not originally blue.

That always irked me when I googled the symptoms of the Batman rogues. It's just lazy writing.
I know. They obviously don't get it, since the villains themselves are more than jus embodied mental illnesses. They're more 3-dimensional than that...

Batman: Dark Knight kind of sucked this week. But all 52 can't be good. So far, I haven't really liked Hawk and Dove, Deathstroke, Mister Terrific, Catwoman, Red Hood, Dark Knight, but the rest have been good in varying degrees. Standouts this week were All-Star Western, Aquaman, Justice League Dark, and (surprisingly, for me) Superman.
Didn't really care for Superman myself. :-\

Flash was pretty cool though, as was Voodoo.
Voodoo...I don't know. I liked the story. And its not that the art was bad, its just so...trashy. In the same way that Catwoman and Red Hood were. Its like, its not that I mind that she's a stripper, but when she's that well-formed and spends the entire 22 pages (except the last one) in various stages of undress, you know what demographic they're going for.

No it's completely and utterly different.
Being undressed and slutty is her profession, and they didn't fuel that with shitty writing.
Yeah...I don't know, I wouldn't say Catwoman was shitty writing. It was fine story-wise, I just thought the ending went about 3 miles too far. Red Hood on the other hand...

Hey, I'm not defending that ending. It was almost enough to make me stop getting the book. I'm gonna give it till issue 3 and see if it gets better, just because I love the character. I'm just saying the rest of the book was not as shit as the sum of its parts. Heh. Parts.

Eh, the whole thing was written about Catwoman using her sexuality, and it was drawn accordingly. Fair enough, it's part of her character, but it was a bit overkill. However I'm also gonna keep reading because I like the character. And I like boobies loads more than anything.

Hey Aeus, Huol, question for you two.
What do you think about DC rebooting their titles?
What reboot?
f**k
DC said a while back they were releasing a new line of titles for their main characters for new readers to get into. Batman Vol. 2 is one of them.
news to me
First I've heard of it.
http://screenrant.com/dc-new-52-comics-benm-130014/ (http://screenrant.com/dc-new-52-comics-benm-130014/)
Shocking, figured you two would be all over this.
They're just screwing with you.
Some of the new titles I kinda like, some not so much. Starting to like Action Comics, didn't mind Detective Comics or Supergirl either. Wasn't too wild about the new Superman though.
Lol! Oh doom, bless.
Hahahahahaha priceless.
f**k. Another whole month till the next bit of Animal Man.
I finally found a online shop I can buy single issues of Marvel and DC comics from! ;D
Will be ordering Action Comics 1 & 2 later today.
Saw this TPB for a dollar today. Not sure what it really is, but like I said, only a dollar, and I'm interested in the Skrulls, so I picked it up. Read the first two issues (Its five in total) and I'm kind of enjoying it. I'm not much of a comic reader, but if I can find cheap TPBs like this, then I'll probably pick them up.

EDIT: Finished up the book. I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth a dollar, at least. Makes me actually want to go back and read that Hulk book I bought a while ago and never got around to finishing.
If there is anything I have to complain about, it was the Captain America/Hydra subplot. It was really cool, but was left unresolved, and ultimately seems like it was just added in to boost sales.
Oh, the James Cameron reference was awesome :D

Ever since I watched X-Men: First Class, I've been really, really tempted to get back into comics. Do you guys think it's worth it?

Yep, there's always something awesome around the corner that isn't DC or Marvel.

Given the DC reboot, it's a perfect jumping on point for new readers or people looking to get back into the fold.
So I decided to try the new 52 DC stuff. And by stuff, I mean Batman. So I've really enjoyed it. Not quite sure what I was expecting, reboot or what but it was easy enough to follow and I was kindly guided through some bits. Really liked the artwork and after the cliff-hanger I'm eager to see where it goes.
Was it the regular Batman or Detective Comics?
I think it was the regular one. It opened with Batman in the Asylum.
Yeah that's by Scott Snyder, he's a pretty solid writer. Avoid Detective Comics if you can.
Is Batman the only DC character that interests you or are there any others? Not that there's anything wrong with just liking Batman. :laugh:
Not really fussed. I'm not too much of a comic person TBH. I like Ultimate Spider-Man and I'm liking this issue. There's just too many continuities and backstory and etc. Makes it hard to get into. I'm quite content trying them out. But I'm not really interested in anyone else other than Spider-Man and Batman as of yet.
I get Halo and A/v/P comics though. :P
Just read Aquaman. Art was nice, story was decent (damn, that scene at the diner was harsh) and the new enemies was pretty creepy. Looking forward to read more of this.
You might like The Flash. He's a fairly 'every man' kinda of hero like Spidey, and had a great New 52 first issue.
But yeah, if you want any Batman recommendations in future just ask. I'll be happy to set you on the path to Bat-enlightenment.

Bahaha, it was awful.
Seriously I've read that shit twice now and he literally has no personality, and gets involved in conversations that purely exist to point at the reader and go 'LOLSEEHE'SNOTSILLY'. Instead of creating a new interesting interpretation, and proving it's strengths whilst progressing a narrative, we got the comic book equivalent of a poorly thought out internet argument in his defense.
I expect them to make something more of him in the coming issues. When it comes to this one, it was mostly these new creatures that drew me in.
Yeah they were cool.
The new Punisher series continues to entertain though. Dark enough that it's easy to forget that it takes place in the regular Marvel Universe.
I kinda lost interest in that. Should check it out again at some point.
It's nothing mindblowing, but it creates a great atmosphere and I love the art.
I kinda threw me when the Vulture showed up.
Yeah, feels a bit weird seeing Frank to against meta humans at this point. But he took care of him in the last issue, so hopefully they'll focus on the wedding massacre from now on.
Looks like they plan to kill off Deadpool next year.

I bet you that he returns in the next issue and his retcon death ::)!
and not a single f**k was given
Well at least he'll finally get to be with Death before they inevitably bring him back.
I'd like to see where they take this. Assuming 'pool still has a strong relationship with Death, and Thanos still yearns for her, they could really play it up here.
Yeah but it's Daniel Way.

QuoteIs it subtle?! Hell, no — this is a Deadpool comic!
QuoteAll I have to do is have him say, "Yeah, okay...uh-huh, I'm bored" then drop a laundry sack full of grenades and cheap, poorly-made fireworks into the mix. Next chapter.
QuoteThe lack of impossibility. I can do literally anything with this character and no one bats an eye. Oh, that Deadpool... he's so wacky.
f**k you Daniel Way.
Yeah, that's why I never bothered with Deadpool Vol. 3. After the piss poor job he did on Ghost Rider and Wolverine, I couldn't bear the thought of Deadpool receiving the Dan Way treatment.

I liked Origins. :) I could care less for the Deadpool book also.
So I picked up X-Force Sex & Violence, X-Force/Cable Messiah War and X-Men Second Coming recently. Sex & Violence was pretty good, I have yet to start the other two but they sound promising.
I've had a quick look at some pages of Sex & Violence, the art is pretty damn good.
But that title...
Don't judge a book by it's cover title.
Am not, but the title remains lame. :P
I started to read From Hell.
I'm having a really, really hard time following it.
So after reading some graphic novels, I find myself a lot more interested in the DC Universe, I'm considering getting started so I can take advantage of this New 52.
Animal Man, Batman, Wonder Woman, Action Comics, The Flash, Frankenstein, Swamp Thing, Demon Knights are all good.

Thanks man, you usually know the good ones!
I'll be looking into them
I just finished the first issues of Justice League, Batman, Action Comics, Green Arrow, and the Flash.
Out of all of them I enjoyed Batman, Action Comics, and The Flash the best.
Green Arrow was okay, but I felt like it was just a happier version of Batman.
Justice League was decent, the dialogue was kind of meh in it but I do enjoy the art.
Quick question, do Batman, Batman and Robin, Batman: Dark Knight, and Detective Comics all take place in a different time within Batman's career?

No love for Batwoman? Wonder Woman has been, indeed, pretty nice so far.. loved issue #2 :)

Heh, seen that in my comic shop, flipped through it. Looked like complete shit.
Read 52 Batman #2 earlier. Really enjoying these Batmans so far. I told the local to keep me one from now on. Hoping it gets epic.
I added these babies to my collection this past week ;D

Wow only $40 for both of them? I remember seeing that Hulk cover being sold around $400 at my local comic book shop.
What the, was it graded and sealed? And no, it was $40 apiece.

Is that a single issue of Superman or a collection?
Just read
The Walking Dead #90.
Spoiler
Hm, Andrea and Rick. Yeah, figured they would hook up eventually. Let's see where this leads.
Single. It's still in its packaging.
I read the last issue of Uncanny X-Men. What a waste of continuity.
I've been stock piling on DC stuff. The last thing I read was the Return of Bruce Wayne.
Quote from: Justin Bailey on Oct 27, 2011, 09:41:00 PM

I absolutely loved reading that, especially the moment Bruce Wayne returns, such a boss.
Im thinking of reading some Spawn. Don't know why the character just appeals to me. I've never seen the film or the HBO series so I've got no expectations. There's a few collections from the very start of its run relatively cheap on Ebay. any fans of Spawn on here and is it a good read?
I used to read a lot of Spawn some years ago. I went back to the beginning a few months ago to really get into it and was frustrated by how many stories that seemed to just end very abruptly, without any satisfying ending whatsoever. Seems like a lot of the early Spawn stories crossed over with other comics and such they sometimes ended in those instead.
Other than that, I quite like Spawn. The artwork is really cool in that 90's kind of way, the story can be really good from time to time (a few aren't that very interesting though, but there are more good ones than bad ones at least) and it sets up a interesting mythology.
I would definitely recommend checking out some of the early stuff and give it a try. :)
Apparently the Origin Collections have missed out some issues for that reason, because they introduced story arcs and new characters that went off into their own series and got wrapped up within them. At first when I was doign a spot fo research I was disapointed that some issues from the early days are missing but it sounds like its probably for the best. Especially for a new reader like myself.
Yeah, makes the whole thing a bit more coherent at least.
The Early Spawn comics where great and you should find origins volumes which has the earlier issues. Stuff like Curse of the Spawn, Hellspawn and Spawn: Godslayer are not canon, so you don't need to worry about them. I have not read any of the recent issues for a while since the new issues always been hit or miss to me.
QuoteApparently the Origin Collections have missed out some issues for that reason
That was because of copy right issues. You could find Spawn Collection Vol 1 -6 on Amazon which has them.
2 days till Animal Man # 3.
;D
Theres still quite alot of Batman im interested in checking out so I think i'll hold off on Spawn for now actually.
Just ordered Catwoman: When In Rome, Batman: Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader and Batman: Gothic.
Quote from: Keg on Oct 31, 2011, 09:20:14 PMJust ordered Catwoman: When In Rome, Batman: Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader and Batman: Gothic.
A great choice, seeing as how you liked The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. :)
It's been a few months since I bought any and I always intended to pick that one up. Arkham City has spurred on my thirst for Batman again. Ive been watching the Animated Series as well and this time im hoping to watch every single episode eventually.
Yes!

QuoteAmong the first projects will be an issue of Supreme drawn by Erik Larsen from the last remaining script by Alan Moore for his beloved run on the character.
"Over the past decade, no single character from my library is more requested than Supreme," Liefeld told CBR. "We have had Alan Moore's final script for years, but we needed a prominent creator to take the reins and complete the vision."
ALL MY MONEY
Lol Rob Liefeld.
Rob Liefield invented the character Supreme. When he asked Alan Moore to continue the series, Moore said he would on the condition that he completely rewrite the character, because he found Liefield's stuff "not very good."
Anyway, new Alan Moore Supreme stuff. Epic.
Nah I just find Rob Liefeld hilarious because his art is usually so bad.

I've read that many times. :D
Just oredered Batman Noel off of Amazon. Lee Bermejo is my favorite comic artist of all time and the idea of this seems really cool. Plus, you get to see Bermejo Joker again. That alone defines my purchase
It was actually out of stock at the other 2 retailers I looked for it at.
I purchased a few TPBs recently;
The Amazing Spider-Man / Deadpool / Hulk: Identity Crisis (hardcover TPB)
This was pretty entertaining, especially the whole Deadpool/Death Wish thing.
Deadpool Dead Head Redemption (TPB)
I'm almost done with this but it's been great so far, Joe Kelly's short story had me in stitches. Best Deadpool writer ever.
Uncanny X-Force Volume 1: The Apocalypse Solution
Haven't started reading this yet but I'm eager to since I finished reading 'X-Men: Second Coming' which established Uncanny X-Force.
I just read issues 1-3 of the new 52's Action Comics.
I enjoy it. It kind of faltered around the 3rd issue, but it's a fun read.
I read Catwoman: When In Rome last night. Surprised how much I enjoyed it even though it was an utterly pointless story set during The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. It was actually quite funny and the way Selina was constantly disgusted by the Riddler raised a few chuckles. I loved the artwork in it and damn did they like showing her in as little clothing as possible.

lol, yeah it's quite good, i read it between reading the two books, and liked it a lot.
has anyone heard about this new comic one shot called "our love is real" wtf?
Yeah I think i'll reread The Long Halloween and Dark Victory soon and read When In Rome between them to get the whole story.
I've got Batman: Gothic and Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader? to read next.
So, is anyone else reading the new Ultimate Spider-Man. What do you guys think?
Miles might be one of the few likeable characters left in the Ultimate Universe in my opinion.
Read Batman Noel last night. Damn, Lee Bermejo can write. Amazing stuff. In a way it kind of reminds me of Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader

I ordered that ages ago and I still haven't got it yet! It's really hard to get hold of.
Reading Starman. Really good. If only each book wasn't a bajillion dollars.
I see their gonna get rid of the two Wolverine titles an go back to the original numbering where ever it left off in all the mess of relaunching the book so many times. For "Old School" fans like me who have been reading this title forever an own all the issues makes it a good thing... I suppose. :-\
reading The Boys vol 9, All-Star Superman arrived yesterday, will read that next, then i will read Knightfall.
Just finished the Long Halloween. Can't believe it took me this long to get it! Fantastic read. Noticed a few parallels with The Dark Knight film too. Just started on the follow up, the Dark Victory.

They start out good, but by Dark Empire 2, it starts to get repetetive and silly. And by Empire's End it gets beyond a joke. Empire's End didn't even have Cam Kennedy's cool artwork going for it.

In a way I kinda feel for JMS. To wipe out almost 20 years of continuity in
One More Day (which was shit) and try to turn back the clock, having Pete single and going through his daily struggles seems a bit cheap. If I was JMS, it would upset me. Of course the stories are always going to be there for enjoyment with or without the change but in the overall scheme of things, it feels like Marvel's like..."Well JMS your run was great and a lot of people enjoyed it...but were going to wipe the slate clean and start over. Sorry."
JMS does seem like a jerk there, and the chart means nothing, since correlation does not equal causation. But still... I'd be pissed, too, if every story decision I ever made was completely retconned.

meh... kinda forced myself to finish it
All Star Superman
it's awesome.
So I take it everyone has heard about the whole 'Avengers vs X-Men' event happening next year? Not my thing really but still.
Also Cable comes back today, which should be good.

Yeah, I'll check it out. The only time I've read an Avengers Vs. X-Men story was in Ultimate Marvel, where Colossus pretty much took down Thor and Iron Man by himself.

*yawn*
Marvel has done this a plethora of times already. Unless they can make it interesting, then I'll pay attention.
I read the Avengers X-Sanction thing with Cable's return, kinda underwhelming to be fair.
Just read the first issue of Carnage USA and it's of to a good start. Art is looking good, the story has some creepy horror elements and the set-up for next issue was awesome.
Also read The Walking Dead #92. Loved the ending, a lot of interesting stuff could come from that.
ABC warriors - The Volgan War trilogy for the 100 times.
Picked up the newest volume of The Walking Dead: We Find Ourselves Volume 15 (85-90) and really enjoyed it. Some parts were pretty tense, like the situation Glenn found himself in when he overheard something. And I have a feeling there's going to be a power struggle between Rick & Abraham in the near future. Due to the conversation between Holly and Abraham, or she's trying to influence Abraham to turn against his friends. But only time will tell.

Let's just say there's a big revelation coming pretty soon. ;)
I don't read comics anymore. My interest is solely collecting golden oldies. Right now I have my eyes on Captain America #100. It's $275 at my local hobby shop ;D
My interest in comics is slowly diminishing as well. I find myself only caring about the more crime-oriented books now(Basically only Batman and Sin City)Of course Batman will always be able to keep me interested, but I find the superhero-ey comics are starting to annoy me. I blame most of it on fanboys :laugh:
I still like the idea of superheroes, but the fact that so much of their audience are whiny, loser dicks (Not you guys of course ;D) has been turning me off a lot of the genre.
I like the idea of a Christ-like figure such as Superman devoting himself to the well being of the world, but the actual books and graphic novels just don't really do it for me anymore.My kind of superhero is the grounded, legendary, noir-ish, brutal, cynical hero such as, obviously, Batman.
But again, the fact that the main audience of these characters are some of the most annoying people in the world make me not want to be a part of all of it whatsoever...

Still amazes me, that after all this time and all the characters that are long gone; Kirkman is still finding ways to introduce new and interesting characters whilst keeping it fresh. Can't wait to see what becomes of this.
Just got like 3 boxes of comic books from my cousins husband who was getting rid of some of his stuff. Lots of good stuff, a complete Knightfall arc collection, the complete Batman and the Outsiders, and a ton of other Batman stuff. It's pretty bizzare though since a lot of the comics are from a while back so there are a few ads for Batman (1989) and Batman Returns on the backs of them.
I just started to read the Catwoman miniseries that basically intertwinned with Batman Year One. It's pretty good, honestly. I was never much into Catwoman prior to this

Carl's death

Finished up TWD volume 15. Really good volume, and although not as much happened as in 14, it feels like it's building up to something really big.
Spoiler
I'm glad the supposed spoiler I read wasn't true. I was actually shocked when Carl survived. And I fell really bad when he asked where his mom was. Speaking of Lori, Rick's phone conversation was a pretty nice touch, as well.
I honestly thought Glenn was going to die this volume. Which would really suck, because he's my favorite character.
And Rick and Andrea. That's domething I never would have expected prior to this volume. In the past few, I thought he would end up with Michonne.
Spoiler
Yeah, I was worried about Glenn for a while as well. Glad he made it out of that situation alive.
As for building up to something big, you might just be right. ;)
Yeah, I saw First Blood's post about Abraham, but I didn't read your spoiler-tagged response. Really can't wait to see what goes on there, though. This was a much slower volume, but it has me very excited for what's to come.
Some preview pages from Batman: Earth One.

Interesting. Is Bats revealing his identity to Jim for the first time?
I'm assuming that is alfred.
AvatarIII is right, that's what Alfred looks like in this take.
Quite the change. He looks exactly like the Jim Gordon I'm used to seeing lol
And here's a first look at Volume 2 of Superman: Earth One as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of new take this team will have on the more well known villains. The villain in the first volume was a bit of a disappointment, but here it looks like he's fighting Parasite. Looks quite different from the one we're used to.
And while I like the Man of Steel suit, this is what a reboot costume should have looked like.
The next comic I'll be reading is 'Ultimate Spider-Man'.
I don't have to read the other 'Ultimate' titles in chronological order in order to fully enjoy 'USM', though, do I? (Though I do plan to eventually read all/most of them.)

This looks pretty decent. I'm sure it's hard for artists to walk the fine line of rebooting a character, changing a bit and making it fresh while not losing the basis of the character. God, they should be absolute pros at it by now, seeing as Superman was created in 1938.
On that note, how long can the same characters really be kept going? In my opinion, it's gone beyond insane lengths of time and crossed into some bizarre world where we perpetually keep redoing the same characters over and over. I don't get it.

Even if some stories are done over and over again, there's always coming in new people to this that don't want to go back 20 years or something to check out said story (even though sometimes they should). And seeing as how the visuals are very important, just getting a new artist will keep things fresh for a while. :)
Mass Effect: Evolution
If you are a serious major geek for this series you HAVE TO read the comics. Evolution is the second collection of mass effect comics and tells the back story to the Illusive Man who's real name is Jack Harper also why he has those pretty eyes. But the most impressive by far is the whole story of the First Contact war AND the back story of Saren and why he hates humanity. The art is very well done and the colors are very striking in some pages.

Given you're new avatar, I was expecting this to be Punisher related. :D
But Spawn is cool too.
Just been in a Punisher mood. Never get tired of admiring Tim Bradstreet's art. :D
Yeah, it's great. It's just a shame they shifted to Steve Dillon when Ennis quit, I can't stand that guys art.
I used to like Steve Dillon. First got a taste of him from Welcome Back Frank but quickly realized he uses the same artistic techniques over and over and there's just not enough variety in his character designs.

Still a classic.
So I don't want to derail any comic conversations going on, but as a side thing, I've really been wanting to talk to current comic book readers about the industry in general. Some questions for you guys when you get bored:
1 - How would you define the comic book medium? Is it a format for children or adults, or both?
2 - Are there certain stories you think are best suited for comic format, and ones you'd rather read in novel form or watch in live-action?
3 - Do you think the comic market in America will ever be non-fringe? By that, I mean do you think comics will ever return to the glory days of being sold at many locations and read by a wide variety of readers, like Manga in Japan?
I do a lot of thinking on comics as a whole and where they stand, and these issues are important to me as a creator.
PS - Red X of death, SM, but I followed linky to Halo Jones. I've heard this is great, do you recommend?
Here's my thoughts Raging.
1. How would you define the comic book medium? Is it a format for children or adults, or both?
I think the comic book industry has grown leaps and bounds in the past decade. It's become a bigger part of pop culture. Hollywood sees the potential in these stories and they're producing all different types of films from Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and Vertigo. The stories today – are geared more towards the older audience. What 10 year old is going to read The Walking Dead. When Stan Lee was at the helm, yes it was geared towards a younger audience. But once writers and artists like Roy Thomas, Chris Claremont, Denny O'Neil and many others stepped in it seemed to take on a mature root and become more serialized - a lot more multipart stories.
2. Are there certain stories you think are best suited for comic format, and ones you'd rather read in novel form or watch in live-action?
I think so, take for example Watchmen – it's a groundbreaking piece of comic book literature, but Zack Snyder's version whilst great and tried to stay as true as possible felt as if something were missing.
I would love to see The Death of Superman someday make it to the big screen in its live action glory. But I don't think it could properly be done in one film. Also, Batman No Man's Land in which an earthquake rocks Gotham. Seeing a city in complete anarchy is Joker's wet dream. That storyline explores what a totally helpless Gotham looks like. And what Batman has to do to put things right.
On the Marvel side of things – definitely see some of Walt Simonson's Thor make it to the big screen in say – the form of Beta Ray Bill or Ragnarök and Surtur. And Daredevil Born Again in which Matt Murdock is at the absolute lowest of lows. It's an amazing story that touches on a variety of themes.
3. Do you think the comic market in America will ever be non-fringe? By that, I mean do you think comics will ever return to the glory days of being sold at many locations and read by a wide variety of readers, like Manga in Japan?
That's a good question. It's tough to say – comic book shops aren't as profitable as they once were. More people are ordering books online or going digital (i.e. Kindle) and purchasing those comic books at a much cheaper cost than the $2.99 or $3.99 on the book. I try do both in the respect of ordering books online and taking the walk to my local comic shop to support the local business. So, if there's a comic shop near you support it! But it's not just the consumer who has to give in; it's the writers as well. If the stories are good, people will buy them. I can't speak for Manga or Japan because I haven't read any.

Aye, thanks for the link man. I certainly missed that bit of news back when you posted it. :D
There seem to be some changes to the story though, as far as the villains go at least.
Let's just hope they don't cut the Kingpin out of it.

Quote1 - How would you define the comic book medium? Is it a format for children or adults, or both?
Pages with pictures at it's most basic. Can have words, but they're not a given. And they're for both.
Quote2 - Are there certain stories you think are best suited for comic format, and ones you'd rather read in novel form or watch in live-action?
Comics have it over books in that you can have definative visuals, and they have it over movies in that you can have extended narration, flashbacks, or inner monologues. Any story can work if adapted to make the most of the medium. Watchmen made a fantastic comic, but the film wasn't adapted to properly suit the new medium.
Quote3 - Do you think the comic market in America will ever be non-fringe? By that, I mean do you think comics will ever return to the glory days of being sold at many locations and read by a wide variety of readers, like Manga in Japan?
No.
It'll be interesting to see how AMC's Comic Men goes when it starts airing next month though.
First look at Marvel's next thing.

Wonder if Frank takes on the DD persona. Would seem a bit strange but you never know.
Thanks for the great answers, guys. I'd like to read that Daredevil series. From the things I read, DD has been one of the more complex characters that writers have handled through the years, for obvious reasons, lol.
As well as The Punisher, with his playground of possible mental disorders and trauma. :laugh:

Since Peter Parker got dumped he's been hitting on Black Cat, whom Daredevil is interested in, so there's word of conflict between the two.
Don't know about the Punisher, though. Maybe he's out to kill Pete in this universe as well.

Hope I'm not spoiling anything for you here, but the Punisher (Sorta indirectly) killed Ultimate Peter Parker.
Yeap, read that one. But that was by mistake, if I remember correctly. The guy beat himself up pretty badly about it. I thought there was some version where he was targeting Peter with the full intent of killing him. :D
Well, except for The Punisher Vs. The Marvel Universe.
He also literally kills everyone in Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe. :laugh:

Spider-Man comes in at the behest of Reed Richards, who invented the Omega Drive, to recover it from Daredevil. "The downside is that if you bring the Punisher in, it's like handing an atomic grenade to... well, to Frank Castle," said Waid. "It could be a very, very dangerous thing. What we've likened the story to is 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.' The basic idea is that it's different people from different walk on life that have similar goals all focused on a unique artifact and they start to work together to find out the best way to work with this. As the story progresses, different allegiances arise, different backstabbing things happen and it gets very tense."http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=52747 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=52747)
That sounds pretty cool. Also sounds like they're setting up a lot of interaction between the three main characters, all of which have very different and distinct superhero personalities. I'm interested.

I dont mind it that much, but some color has to be put in to make it pop. Otherwise it looks like the logo of a company that makes office seperators or shelves or fax machines or something...

I think they're going for a more mature, conservative approach, trying to promote the idea that comics are a medium to be taken seriously these days by the use of some boring, corporate-looking logo.
Good LUCK with that. ;)
I was thinking Mr. Freeze for the last one, too!
As for that second logo, I would never have guessed it was Batman until you pointed it out, Laufey.
And, also, wouldn't changing the logo to a character-based design just insinuate that DC is based solely on that one character? Or rather show a certain degree of favouritism? Isn't a logo supposed to represent the company as a whole, and everything that falls under that umbrella logo, not just the single character?

I don't know, Marvel has had individual or team logos for awhile. I don't think it matters, as long as the company itself is obvious. The second logo kiind of looked Venom-esque, but a Spider-Man one would hopefully be more iconic than that.

I'm surprised that turned out as bad as it did. I would've thought it could be an awesome read.
I just read the first five issues of the new Wonder Woman series. Good stuff so far, I'm really liking Diana in this and Hermes is a nice addition as well. Wasn't too happy about the look of Poseidon though, but hey, you can't have everything. :D
Anyone take a look at previews of those graphic novels Marvel's putting out, entitled Season One? They're basically re-tellings of the origins of characters. The series debuts next month with Fantastic Four Season One by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and David Marquerz. And the next three after that are X-Men, Daredevil and Spiderman. I may check them out. :)
They sound pretty cool, First Blood. I'd imagine that Magneto would be involved in the origin of the X-Men? Or, at least that's what I'm hoping for!
I think I really need to chill out on Magneto a little :P But the question still stands! Will he make an appearance?! If so, then it'll really be worth me checking out. And perhaps the Spiderman one, too.
Anyone else a fan of Buddy Longway around here? First Blood's comment about Jeremiah Johnson made me remember this old chap. My library used to have a lot of the albums, but it's been a long time since I've read them. But I remember my favorite being this:

Buddy and his son are being stalked through the wilderness by a crazy moose. This was a great story, a lot more interesting than it might sound like. There was almost something supernatural about that moose, kind of like an avenging spirit stalking them.

Here's the synopsis on the X-Men book. :)
Welcome to the X-Men's first year - hope you survive the experience! Professor Charles Xavier has recruited five of the most powerful mutants he's ever seen, in order to save a world that hates and fears them. But there's only one problem - they're teenagers who have to survive hormones and uncontrollable super-powers, all while fighting for their very lives. So right now's the perfect time for Magneto & the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, along with the Sentinels, Unus the Untouchable and more to make their bids for control of the world, right? The first class of X-Men are forged in the fires of combat in ways you've never seen before. You only think you know the story!So yeah, Erik does make an appearence.

You don't need to chill out on Magneto. He is the most powerful mutant there is. He could simply get pissed off and hurl the Earth into the sun. Then he could watch from Asteroid M and eat cereal without ever touching the spoon.

Feb - Fantastic Four
March - X-Men
April - DD
May - Spiderman
March and May it is then. The Spiderman one will coincide nicely with the Magneto: Not A Hero paperback that I have pre-ordered and is also due for release in May.
I just finished reading Spawn Origins HC Volume One which collects the first 12 issues of the series. I thought it was pretty good. Basically it starts off with Al Simmons (Spawn) awaking not knowing who or what he is, and over the course these issues he learns more about his powers whilst trying to piece together his past and comes into contact with some pretty outrageous villains like, Clown/Violator, Billy Kincaid and Overt-Kill. And detectives Sam & Twitch show up hot on trail of Spawn trying to figure out what he really is.
I've never really given Spawn a chance until now, and I have to say it's pretty damn entertaining. Todd McFarlane, whether you love him or hate him knows how draw some insanely intriguing splash pages that just light up the panels. It's a nice hardcover book too, with some nice wraparound art by Greg Capullo. I'd definitely recommend it for someone looking to read Spawn or is interested in seeing the origin of the character. :)
I just read
The Walking Dead #93.

That's a pretty awesome cover. And the "A Larger World" title has me really excited for Volume 16. I could see the series going in quite a few directions, so I'm sure Kirkman will surprise me in the next volume.

Okay, so it's not as bad as it sounds. I don't mind calling him Shazam myself.
On the other hand, what are they going to call the wizard now? Wasn't he Shazam?
I like the change to be honest. Clears up any confusion some may have had with the other Captain Mar-Vell. For some reason Shazam just seems to resonate more with the costume.
Wasn't sure where to stick this but for those interested it lists the Marvel characters who've appeared on film and which movie studios they belong to. It's nice to see both Blade & Punisher transfer to Marvel Studios hands.

also he's too high concept to do a prequel, i don't think he would work well within the constraints of the pre established canon and characters. he needs his freedom to do his own thing, and he has it at the moment.
Alan Moore comments on this.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/mediageek/news/?a=53866 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/mediageek/news/?a=53866)
Quote"I tend to take this latest development as a kind of eager confirmation that they are still apparently dependent on ideas that I had 25 years ago...I don't want money," he said. "What I want is for this not to happen. As far as I know, there weren't that many prequels or sequels to 'Moby-Dick.'"
I am actually going to side with JMS on this issue, he brings up some good points. Moore's been a miserable old man for years now. In the end if the prequel ends up sucking - it's not like it's going take away from
Watchmen. That will always be remembered.
Quote
JMS: The perception that these characters shouldn't be touched by anyone other than Alan is both absolutely understandable and deeply flawed. As good as these characters are – and they are very good indeed – one could make the argument, based on durability and recognition, that Superman is the greatest comics character ever created. But I don't hear Alan or anyone else suggesting that no one other than Shuster and Siegel should have been allowed to write Superman. Certainly Alan himself did this when he was brought on to write Swamp Thing, a seminal comics character created by Len Wein.
Leaving aside the fact that the Watchmen characters were variations on pre-existing characters created for the Charleton Comics universe, it should be pointed out that Alan has spent most of the last decade writing very good stories about characters created by other writers, including Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), Dorothy (from Wizard of normal">Oz), Wendy (from Peter Pan), as well as Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, Jeyll and Hyde, and Professor Moriarty (used in the successful League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). I think one loses a little of the moral high ground to say, "I can write characters created by Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle and Frank Baum, but it's wrong for anyone else to write my characters."
The whole point of having great characters is the opportunity to explore them more deeply with time, re-interpreting them for each new age. That DC allowed these characters to sit on a shelf for over two decades as a show of respect is salutary, but there comes a time when good characters have to re-enter the world to teach us something about ourselves in the present.

worst example ever!
a) He used Ishmael from Moby Dick as a small role in the League books (as Nemo's first mate), therefore Moby Dick takes place in the League universe, therefore ALL the League books are (sort of) sequels.
b) iirc There is no logical way to make a prequel or sequel to Moby Dick.
I am also on JMSs side with this.

I just read the first issue of Winter Soldier. Bucky and Black Widow tries to track down three stasis pods, containing people just like Bucky, who were used as assassins during the Cold War. All of which leads to an assassination attempt at Victor von Doom.
Well written by Brubaker and the art is nice too. Especially the cover art.
While I respect Alan Moore's decisions, I don't think a prequel will tarnish the original, and I really like JMS's writing. The art looks cool, too.
Looks like their will be a new suit for Spidey.

I um...kinda like it. I was hoping for a more rugged, geared up suit that was prodominantly black and red like it seemed in the teaser, but this is alright I guess. Looks a little too much like the Red Hood
I don't know, it seems kinda contradictory to the character. He has the strength and agility of a spider. I can't fathom how putting on loads of body armor would help. Seems like it would hinder him more.
So, does anyone have a clue as to when Jim Lee and Frank Miller will release the next chapter in All Star Batman and Robin? The last I heard was February 2011. :-\

That book's a wonderful guilty pleasure isn't it? I honestly don't know. If Frank Miller has time to write, draw, ink and publish
Holy Terror – it shows just how concerned he is about
Dark Knight: Boy Wonder doesn't it. Jim Lee is off doing work on the Justice League relaunch books if I remember correctly. :(

Im one of the few people who thoroughly enjoyed All Star BnR, though the sequel seems to be lost in development hell.
I loved all star bnr too, it was fun,
It was fun, but just insane that they produced only ten issues in four years. And, I had to get the last issue from off a member of the site via PM because I don't think they even published issue ten!

Yeah, I remember when I realized there was another issue they never included in the collection. Most pointless action ever. :laugh:
I know right, let's collect issues 1-9 but omit 10
where the hell was the logic in that decision? :laugh:
what the hell, I didn't know that! I have only read what is in the collection!
Yeah, it never made it publication. I can forward you the PM of it I received if you're interested in reading it. :)

Just read
PunisherMAX #22.
Spoiler
Frank Castle is dead, Wilson Fisk is dead, Bullseye is dead, Elektra is dead, Vanessa Fisk is dead. Everyone is f**king dead. Well, not Fury. But this truly was the end of Punisher MAX.
How did Frank die? :'(
Spoiler
Shot, stabbed, beaten. Take your pic. Everything that happened to him over the last ten issues or so finally took its toll. He managed to take down Fisk and a dozen of his men or so right before he died himself. The he just kinda fell over and died while trying to get to a safe house to get some rest.
The Hand beheaded Elektra since she was of no use to them anymore, being paralyzed from the waist down. Fury took down Vanessa Fisk in what very much reminded me of the ending in The Departed.
It all ended with riots breaking out all over town, with ordinary citizens dragging known criminals out of their homes and executing them on the streets.
Damn, going have to read that.
I am so far behind on Punisher Max. After Ennis left, (Valley Forge) I haven't paid too much attention to it. Still have to get caught up on Girls in White Dresses, Six Hours to Kill, Welcome to the Bayou and all the Jason Aaron material, Kingpin, Bullseye, Frank and Homeless.
I think the quality went down a fair bit after Ennis left, but then it got good again with Aaron. My only problem with his run was the art, which I'm not a fan of. Still a very good read though and well worth checking out.
Yeah, didn't Dillon do the art for
Kingpin as well as
Bullseye?

Dear god, now this is exactly what the suit should've looked like when DC rebooted everything. This is exactly how I wished for it to be, and now it's a reality, that belt he has makes such a huge difference in my opinion, I'll definitely be picking this up.
I read anything:
Punisher
Ghost Rider
Batman
Spiderman
Iron Man
Deadpool
Halo
Alien, Predator, and AvP
and Star Wars
I curious about picking up the Ghost Rider Omnibus by Jason Aaron soon and was interested if anyone has read that book or his run on Ghost Rider. How's the writing and the art? :)

It's pretty much the only Ghost Rider I've read and I love it. The art is great, it goes perfectly with the style they establish. The writing is, as far as I can tell, good as well. Plenty of both action and dark humor in it and the story is interesting. Easy to get into even if you haven't read that much about the character before.

Aside from Sin city, does anyone know any good crime noir comic books and GNs?
Gotham Central by Greg Rucka comes to mind. It's been collected in Trade Paperback form which is nice. Follows the police in Gotham, and Batman isn't the star at all.
Also, there's Road to Perdition by Max Collins which the film with Tom Hanks is based on. But I've heard great things about 100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello and it's critically acclaimed. Haven't read it myself though.
Are you looking for crime noir with comic book characters or just noir in general? Because Marvel also did Noir books based on certain characters, i.e. Daredevil Noir, Punisher Noir etc.

Brubaker's "Sleeper" is fantastic. It's noir with superpowers, and it's absolutely riveting. About a government mole in a superpowered crime syndicate, who's so deep cover that only one man knows about his mission- and that man's in a coma. Completely trapped in this world without any objectives or directions, it becomes unclear whether he's successfully infiltrated the syndicate, or simply become a part of it.

I read some of Gotham Central, and it was fantastic. I gotta get the rest of the books, though.
I saw the movie to Road to Perdition, and again, that was fantastic. That I also have to pick up. And after Azzarello's
Joker and
Batman: Broken City, I'll read anything from him. (Heard he was doing a Rorschach comic with Bermejo doing the art, I'll definately pick that one up)
And im looking for really anything noir, since I love the concept of the tone and all, and all my favorite superheroes are more of the gritty, down to earth, and well,
noir type so I'll also look for some of the noir books containing heroes. I read Spider Man Noir awhile back (well, Vol. 2 of it atleast), it was fairly good, though I liked the concept more than I actually liked it. Daredevil Noir and Punisher Noir, however, sound very interesting.

Some day I will, I'm just gonna wait for my Batman enthusiasm to come back.
Edit: Just read
Justice League (1-5). It's okay, I guess, nothing mind-blowing of course. The art and the action is pretty good so far though, while the dialogue is somewhat weak. But one thing really irked me in the latest issue.

Batman being the first to reveal his secret identity? That's way out of character. :-\
Decided to pursue the rest of those Spawn Origins HC's and steadily read Volumes 2-3-4 and 5 (issues 12-62) over last couple weeks. It's bizarre to say the least. For example, agents of Heaven just happen to have a towering skyscraper in the middle of New York City, and McFarlane tends to over exaggerate his panels or characters for the sake of jazzing up the page. But I just love those beautiful splash pages or panels he does in which Spawn is perched on a cross from a church or peak from a nearby building. It just makes for very striking and intimidating image where dialogue is not needed.
But I guess it's cool to see McFarlane along with Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and others build a mythology as the issues progress. Seeing Spawn learn to use his costume's powers more and rely less on guns was neat. It's nice to see something a little different for a change, granted he's still your sulking vigilante, but Spawn's not a billionaire or driving a car with gadgets. His secret hideout is the alleyways of New York where he's protecting the homeless. They see him as a savior or God like figure, which is ironic considering he's an agent of Hell.
And unlike Batman, he's not afraid to kill. This motherf**ker could be merciless at times. Some of the stand out moments was when Spawn confronted Chapel, the mercenary who betrayed him. Or when Jason Wynn (his hair is awesome) was turned into the Anti-Spawn, a soldier for God to try and kill Spawn, and a more down to Earth issue, when Spawn helped two brothers overcome their abusive father. Then there's The Curse, a religious fanatic who thinks he's on a mission from God himself to destroy Spawn. I quite liked The Curse, a f**king nut, but loved his costume. I also loved the scene when Wanda was confronted by Spawn in the Bowery, his hideout so to speak and she gave him a photo of Terry, herself and Cyan, as a thank you for saving Terry's life. I also loved the moments with Sam and Twitch. Playing off those buddy cop movies, it was fun to watching these two characters banter back and forth with each other, whilst looking into the Spawn sightings.
It was great to see Greg Capullo step in a take over drawing duties. His style was less fantastical than McFarlane's but his version of Spawn makes him more of a creature of the night – less human looking and more nightmarish.
The books are certainly worth checking out. If you're just looking for something a little different that's not Marvel or DC but fantasy/magic based, and still follows conventional structure of a superhero story, then Spawn from Image Comics is your guy. He's got the origin, the costume, the powers, the villains and entertainment to make for some fun reading.
Now that I've overdosed on Spawn, think it's time to find something else to read for a while. :D
Yeah, Spawn can be pretty awesome. I remember back in the day when I was a subscriber. Spawn always stood out from the other comic books I read, since it was printed on a thicker, glossy paper. That was pure luxury to my younger self. Unfortunately, they cancelled it over here sometime after the Urizen story.

...when do they make one of these with Lizard.
I just finished reading the
Ghost Rider Omnibus and absolutely loved it. Jason Aaron's writing is so fresh and pleasing. The plot follows Johnny Blaze who's still trying to rid himself of the Ghost Rider curse, but at the same time finds out that's he's been duped all this time. The curse wasn't the Devil's doing, but a sadistic Angel named Zadkiel. So blaze tries to find a way in Heaven to confront him. I was very much reminded of Matt Fraction's run on
The Immortal Iron Fist, both this and Iron Fist are similar, because they delve into a mythology of previous Iron Fists or Ghost Riders in this case protecting people throughout the ages.
The battle between Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch in issues 28-29 was f**king epic; one of the highlights for sure. I also really came to like, Sara, who became the new Caretaker. Haven't read much Ghost Rider, I wasn't lost at all. Aaron did a great job of clueing the reader in on past events and the mythology surrounding the character.
The art was fantastic. Tony Moore, Roland Boschi, Tan Eng Huat all did a find job. Not once did I find the art irritating to look at or hamper the story – each artist captured the spirit (no pun intended) and look of GR perfectly.
As for the humor, or dark humor, it was great. I just chuckled when a homicidal cannibal has a police officer's hand in his mouth whilst driving, and cracking jokes about eating him.
My two favorite humorous parts had to have been:
Spoiler
Orb: All these rooms...I don't understand...on the outside it looks like a one-room shack. This is impossible.
Zombie Ninja: You do realize you're a man with a giant eyeball for a head talking to a zombie ninja, right? Just shut the hell up and keep your eye open.
And I loved the quick cameo by the Punisher in issue #32 whilst Danny absorbs Blaze's power.
Thug: Wait, what was...did you just feel th-
Punisher: No. *bang*
A fantastic read. :)
Yeah, it's great and I'm glad you liked it. As for the art, I remember not caring much for it before I read the book, but it goes so well with the story and style that I immediately took a liking to it.
The whole crew that assaulted the Caretakes was deliciously weird. :laugh:
Also, the humor in this was spot on. No jelly beans to be found here.

I found this over at deviantArt and I think it's a pretty sweet design. Would have loved to see something like that in a alternate universe. Using the spider body as the eyes was a clever move. :)
yeah i agree, i like the wrestler mask type drawstrings too, if they decided to do a gritty near future spin off universe, that would be a cool look.

Robert Kirkman Teases The Introduction Of Daryl Dixon In THE WALKING DEAD Comic BooksQuote
"I've definitely considered writing Daryl in to the comics," said Kirkman. "Norman is always pestering me about it. All I can say right now is that if you have been paying attention to the Internet we did just release a series of teasers called 'Something to Fear' for a new story arc that's coming up and it's a series of very threatening looking people with very specific weapons and one of them has a crossbow."

Quote"We changed his name [to Shazam] for a lot of reasons," said Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns. "One of them is that Shazam is the word most associated with the character, so we just felt it made sense — a lot of people already thought that was his name, anyway."
"His place in the world will be far more rooted in fantasy and magic than it ever was before," Johns also said.
I don't really like the hood, but I like that last part about him being more rooted in fantasy and magic than ever before.
I always found him to be bland anyway. The hood at least makes him less similar to Superman

I f**king love 80s Uncanny X-Men and Chris Claremont. No to mention Walter Simonson, John Romita Jr. and a host of others involved.
I've been meaning to check out that myself. Don't really know what the story is, but damn it, it has Colossus on the cover. I'm a big fan of the Russian wrecking machine, so if he have more than a minor role in this, I'm willing to check it out.
Speaking of X-Men, Avengers Vs. X-Men is breaking records.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=55840 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=55840)
Aye, Romita Jr. was a beast in the 80s. Love that cover. The quick version, there's a group of mutants under New York City called the Morlocks and there's another group of professional mutant assassins called the Marauders, tasked with wiping them out. And, the X-Men are caught in the middle. It was a crossover event, so there are issues from X-Factor, New Mutants, Thor and Daredevil.

Been looking into that more, and it actually looks intriguing. The thing I hate about Marvel when it comes to huge crossovers these days is that they put the story in every conceivable book out there. So, I'll just stick with the main
Avengers vs. X-Men book itself. This and
Before Watchmen are what I am looking forward to most this summer in terms of comic reading. :)

Makes you realize just how deadly a Spartan really is. Almost on Astartes level.
I took a little trip over to my local comic book shop yesterday morning, and added The Walking Dead, Volumes 3 & 4 to my young, but slowly growing collection. Been wanting to get back into comics for a while, and since February, I've gotten the first 4 Walking Deads, GI Joe: A Real American Hero Volume 1, Star Trek: Spock Reflections, Predator: Prey To The Heavens, and Stephen King's The Stand: Captain Trips, (which is a nice hardcover edition that I very much like).
I love TPBs.
EDIT: Star Trek: Spock Reflections was actually acquired some point between October and December, somewhere in there, and so really shouldn't be counted in the February-early March haul, oops.

Quote"This latest news wasn't even really a surprise. I can't imagine that if there was anybody of even average intelligence at DC, that they wouldn't have ever wanted to bring out a load of substandard prequels and sequels... It would seem to me that in bringing out 35 books – even if these, for some reason, sell remarkably well; even if there are some people out there who are so undiscriminating that they are going to have to collect every one of these books – even if that happens, that is not going to generate enough money to reverse the comics industry's rapidly declining fortunes. That's not the reason why they're bringing these things out. I don't think that DC are interested in comics anymore."
"As for the readers, I have to say that if you are a reader that just wanted your favourite characters on tap forever, and never cared about the creators, then actually you're probably not the kind of reader that I was looking for. I have a huge respect for my audience. On the occasions when I meet them, they seem, I like to think, to be intelligent and scrupulous people. If people do want to go out and buy these Watchmen prequels, they would be doing me an enormous favour if they would just stop buying my other books."
DC isn't interested in comics anymore, please. What rubbish. That's why they had that Drawing The Line At $2.99 campaign to service their readership in a rather rough economy. What an absolute asshole who paints himself as some Messiah in the comic book industry. Alan Moore is allowed to touch other creator's works – but no one can touch his work. It's that kind of egotism that makes me so turned off by him. If I wasn't a Watchmen fan, I would have bought the books out of spite just to piss him off, but it happens that I am a Watchmen fan, and would like nothing more to see this Watchmen universe expand. These are highly talented people they have working on these books. Let's be clear here. It's not Rob Liefeld and the Easter Bunny.
Moore's got to be getting old and crotchety by now, right? He looked old and crotchety on the back cover of Watchmen when I bought it at least five years ago.
I wonder how he feels being in the medium at all? It doesn't really seem the place for elitists and literary snob-types, especially with the state of the industry today.
Strange, just very strange.
Oh, I am sure he gets plenty of checks for royalties, whenever work of his sells, or is adapted etc. But he's distanced himself from modern comics and wants nothing to do with them. If he would open his f**king eyes maybe he would have seen the love and care, not to mention the level of detail that went into Zack Snyder's Watchmen movie. Sure, it's not entirely perfect, but Snyder was a fan of the material and put his heart and soul into getting it right. And, when Moore goes off and makes these kinds of egotistical comments, it further alienates him from his fanbase.

I'm not a huge Watchmen fan but I'm definitely picking these up if only because they will likely shoot up in value fast.
I never understood it. I'm a huge Watchmen fan, and scrutinized the movie as closely as I dared.
My final judgment was that it came as close to a perfect translation as maybe was possible. Almost everything was spot-on from what I remember, and the only thing they omitted that I noticed was Rorshach's prison meetings with the psych, iirc.
In my opinion, you really couldn't do much better to what they did with Snyder's film. If you think it's trash, frankly your head is probably way too far up your elitist ass. :laugh: Watch some other comic-to-movie translations and see how you like them. Here's a good one to start with:

There were moments in the book in which the psychiatrist had his own panels and the readers followed him around for a little while, which was absent from the movie. And they changed the ending, which I really didn't see the big deal with. The film worked even with the ending changed. Manhattan was the one blamed for New York City's destruction as opposed to a giant tentacle monster from the book.
Oh yeah duh! But I think at that point, I was kind of relieved that giant tentacles weren't killing everybody.
I mean, c'mon. :laugh: Perhaps I'm guilty of Watchmen heresy, but I think the new ending worked much better in the film.
I am inclined to agree with you actually. Because Dr. Manhattan starts off as a hero and tool for the government, he's their Superman but when allegations break out of him causing cancerous deaths he turns his back on Earth. It would make sense for Veidt to use him as a scapegoat because of the current state of mind he was in. Dr. Manhattan would serve as an example of the dangers of nuclear war – thus solidifying Veidt's attempt at world peace.

Yes I agree. It also helps add a lot of weight to his departure, I think. It just took an emotion that was already there and exaggerated it for story purposes. That's an offense I can overlook, given the quality of the rest of the film. Believable.
Oddly enough I've just been reading Yuggoth Creatures which was adapted from Moore's Cthulhu mythos work. Very good stuff.
I really dug the Watchmen comic. No interest in these new comics. Especially after that schooze of a movie from Snyder.
I liked the comic and the movie. And I want to read the prequels.
Am I evil?
Indubitably.

I never understood it. I'm a huge Watchmen fan, and scrutinized the movie as closely as I dared.
My final judgment was that it came as close to a perfect translation as maybe was possible. Almost everything was spot-on from what I remember, and the only thing they omitted that I noticed was Rorshach's prison meetings with the psych, iirc.
In my opinion, you really couldn't do much better to what they did with Snyder's film. If you think it's trash, frankly your head is probably way too far up your elitist ass. :laugh: Watch some other comic-to-movie translations and see how you like them. Here's a good one to start with:

you should come and join the other forum i go to

and iirc the psych meeting in the prison is in the movie, although it's been so long since i saw the theatrical cut it may not have been in that.

Oddly enough I've just been reading Yuggoth Creatures which was adapted from Moore's Cthulhu mythos work. Very good stuff.
I really dug the Watchmen comic. No interest in these new comics. Especially after that schooze of a movie from Snyder.
talking of Cthulhu mythos, have you read The Courtyard/Neonomicon by Moore? they're pretty good modernisations of the Cthulhu mythos.
also, this just came out, and I've ordered it (from the makers of Anthology I and the ATMOM Graphiic Novel)

I just read the first issue of
Saga, written by Brian K. Vaughan (
Y: The Last Man). It could probably best be described as a mix between a fairy tale and science fiction, with some very adult language and art. Actually, while I enjoyed the story and world they set up in this first issue, I kinda felt like they were showing of tits and having people swear all the time for no reason at all (well, mostly no reason at all). But the story and the characters are definitely good enough to keep me interested and I'll gladly give the next issue a look as well.

I also read the first three issues of
Scarlet Spider. Kaine, the Spider-Man clone from the 90's, is setting up business over in Houston. So far he's gotten mixed up in human trafficking, as well as allying himself with a doctor, a police officer and a bartender, who more or less invites him to stay in the city as Houston's only superhuman protector. And trust me when I say that the Scarlet Spider doesn't go easy on the scum that roam the city.

So far I'm really digging this. The story is good, Kaine is a interesting character and the artwork is very much to my liking. The suit is really nice as well, simple and good looking, as well as very fitting with the style and mood of Kaine. I definitely recommend this to anyone who has an interest in the "Spiderverse". :)

it's an anthology of several Lovecraft adaptations its actually the second anthology, and before that there was an adaptation of t The Mountains of Madness. from a publisher called self Made Hero, check them out, they are good.
has anyone ever heard of VirusComix (http://www.viruscomix.com/index.html) by a guy called Winston Rowntree i just discovered it, and this story (http://www.viruscomix.com/estar.html) made me think of Sweeper and his love of Sci-Fi Bad-ass Ladies.

I'd be interested in the Moore stuff. Other stuff, not so much. I 've read a few comics adapted/ based on HPL stuff and it's not really grabbed me.
I've just finished the third issue of Dark Matter. A new series from Dark Horse. Great Sci-fi from Joseph Mallozzi (Stargate). A must read.
Plot: A derelict ship floats in space, its troubled crew awakened from stasis with no memories of who they are or how they got on board. Their search for answers triggers the vessel's deadly security system: a relentless android bent on their destruction. Facing threats at every turn, they have to work together to survive a voyage charged with vengeance, redemption, betrayals, and hidden secrets best left unknown.

Yeah, she gets caught in an explosion involving a Kree device, and develops powers making her some half human/half Kree. She's essentially the female version of the original Captain Marvel. Although I don't know much about her or Captain Marvel for that matter, with the exception that he was a Kree officer before becoming a protector of Earth.

I read the first one because I like the style, and I'd like to draw my comic in a similar style.
I read the second one 'cause it's creepy and funny. :D

Just read the first two issues of The Sixth Gun, a supernatural western. So far we've been introduced to a young woman named Becky, living in a small house on the prairie along with her dying father. The father is in possession of a mysterious gun, once belonging to a General that is now deceased. As the General rises from the dead, his minions are sent to collect the gun and as such, Becky finds herself under the protection of our "hero" Drake Sinclair, who also wants the gun for himself.
So far I'm really liking this. The story as well as the characters are interesting, the artwork is nice enough and fits well with the theme, and the whole thing have a very mature tone to it, while still being able to get some humor in there.
Just read Y - The Last Man issues 1 to 36.
It's one of those comics that is so simple in it's premise, that you kick yourself for not thinking of it first. It's obviously a male fantasy, but Vaughn heads off all that before it starts by throwing the obstacle of his faithfulness for Beth - on the other side of the world - in Yorick's way. If I had one criticism it's that most of the girls look the same, and just have different hair colours and lengths.
Y - The Last Man is great, but I must admit I kinda lost interest in it towards the end.
Here's our first look at DC's new Alan Scott.
I will definitely be picking this up. :)
Quote"Alan Scott really is the big guy of Earth-Two. Quite literally. He's very tall, he's dynamic, he's charismatic and he's also the bravest, most gallant man on the planet. He's like the great knight defending the Earth. He would die for his planet, he would die for his people. He is the epitome of what a hero should be. And I think even if he wasn't that way when he first began in the 1940s, he is kind of evolved to that in terms of his place in the Justice Society. I have always felt that he was that character and I have tried to keep that spirit and element of him alive."

Looks great. It also looks as if they revamped his old Earth Two costume and put him in one of the traditional Green Lantern uniforms. Color me intrigued.
I hope it will have a touch of the Kingdom Come costume, since he's already being described as a "knight".
Just read Frank Miller's Give Me Liberty. It's Miller's version of Halo Jones, that still works despite Miller's complete lack of subtlety.

It was actually self-defense.

But while most of the people around him seemed horrified that a young man had just gotten a knife in his throat, Rick didn't seemed bothered at all. So yeah, I guess what's left of his humanity is leaking away by the minute.

I just read
Avengers vs. X-Men #1 by Brian Michael Bendis and John Romita Jr. Overall, it was pretty decent. I've always been a fan of Romita Jr's art. But, I didn't see nothing too spectacular floating around in here.
Spoiler
Nova crash lands to Earth, and warns the Avengers that the Phoenix Force – an alien parasite that took over Jean Grey, when she was once Phoenix, is coming back to Earth to lay waste to everything. The Avengers find out that it plans to take another host – and that being a mutant named Hope. The small scene between Captain America and Wolverine was pretty nice, when Cap was informing him about the news. The Avengers need to take Hope into custody and the X-Men won't allow it. Which leads to a confrontation and sets things up for the next issue.
When did Cyclops become such an asshole? :-\
Also, I don't really like John Romita, Jr's artwork. Other than that, the issue was decent.

Sounds great. I love that they're going to take a much more serious approach to Skeletor. :)
So I think I finally found a character that I would be interested in reading: Doctor Strange. Does anyone here read him, and if so, what would you recommend to someone like me who never read anything with him in it?
Also, is his animated film any good? I've been wanting to see that as well.
I'd start with Essential Doctor Strange Vol. 1 which reprints the early stories by Stan Lee & Steve Ditko. They are reprinted in black & white though. So, if that doesn't bother you I'd say check that out.
Ultimate and Earth-616 are getting their very first crossover.

QuoteThis June, it's time for Peter Parker, better known as the Amazing Spider-Man, to cross worlds and meet Miles Morales...the all-new Spider-Man? Marvel is proud to announce Spider-Men, an all-new five issue landmark story from award-winning author Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers VS. X-Men, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man), red-hot artist Sara Pichelli (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man) and acclaimed cover artist Jim Cheung (Avengers VS. X-Men), which brings Peter Parker and Miles Morales together for the first time. That's right, the Spider-Man from two different realities—the Marvel Universe and Ultimate Comics Universe—bring their worlds together for a battle no one web-head could win!
When Spider-Man tracks down one of his deadliest villains, he suddenly finds himself thrust into another world where Peter Parker is dead...and there's a new Spider-Man in town. As these two heroes learn the truth about their identities and their universes, they'll embark on a journey that'll leave them forever changed—and reveal a startling truth about a key player in the Spider-Man mythos!
"This year is the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man and we're so happy that the stars aligned for us to tell a Spider-Man story that nobody has ever seen before," said Bendis. "It's an honor and a privilege to present both this story and these characters to fans on such an auspicious occasion. The work Sara has done on Spider-Men is a step above the already high standard that she has set for herself on our Ultimate Comics Spider-Man series. For me, this is a celebration of the best character in mainstream comics and some of the best art mainstream comics has to offer."
Each issue of Spider-Men features variants covers by some of the biggest names in comics including Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man), Mike Deodato (New Avengers), Marcos Martin (Amazing Spider-Man), Terry Dodson (Avenging Spider-Man), Travis Charest (Captain America) and Sara Pichelli.
"Knowing how much Brian loves and respects Spider-Man, there's no way I wouldn't want to work on Spider-Men with him," said Sara Pichelli. "It's going to be an explosive celebration of Spider-Man's 50th anniversary—are you ready?"
In 1962's Amazing Fantasy #15, the world first met Peter Parker and saw him become the hero Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe. Soon after, Spider-Man became a pop culture sensation, launching multiple television series, blockbuster films and some of the most popular comics of all time. Then in 2011, Marvel introduced Miles Morales, a new character of African American and Hispanic descent, who became Spider-Man in the Ultimate Comics Universe after that world's Peter Parker perished.
"This is one of the biggest stories in Marvel history," said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment. "Peter Parker and Miles Morales are two of our most popular characters and fans have been clamoring for them to meet—we've got quite a few surprises in store for both characters.

"Never had the chance to write a character like him, or to do a book like this before," Fraction divulges. "And I wanted to chronicle him in an ongoing series because it'd keep me from getting bored. Repetition bores me to death. I had this idea for how to do a book that wasn't like anything else we'd seen him in before, wasn't like anything I'd done before, and couldn't stop thinking about."
"Hawkeye is more about what inspires Clint Barton," Fraction explains, "We got Clint in AVENGERS, SECRET AVENGERS, and anywhere else at any given time—but we wanted HAWKEYE to be about what Clint does when he's not at work, about what drives the guy. He's got some stuff coming up in [Avengers Vs. X-Men] and afterwards he's in a place where he's gotta figure out what he's doing with himself and why. What moves him, what's meaningful for him."

I am happy.
Finished Y - The Last Man.
Spoiler
Was really bummed when 355 got killed. Then the epilogue pretty much set about bumping everyone else off, I thought the whole thing was heading for a major downer. But the final panel of Yorick's empty straight floating on the breeze was a perfect end.
Next issue of Punisher looks like it could be fun.

The Punisher going "Ash" on people? Count me in. :laugh:
I also went ahead and picked up
Superman 1-7 today by George Perez and a few others. I've heard mixed things, but I am willing to give it a shot. :)

Single issues or is the collection already out? :)
Single issues. :)
I was so close to getting Wonder Woman as well, but they only had issues 2-7 and it would have annoyed the hell out of me, with an issue missing. :laugh:
Aye, it's better to wait then.
Let me know what you think of Superman when you're done. It didn't stick with me personally, but I did enjoy Action Comics. :)
Will do. Although I was flipping through one of the issues, and it looks as if Clark's suit goes on him via nanobots(?) which made me raise an eyebrow.
Edit: Just finished reading Avengers vs. X-Men Round 2 (or issue 2) and it was pretty underwhelming. Cyclops is still a dick and nothing really happened story-wise. It just seemed like one long fight scene after another. So far Marvel's big event is turning into a Michael Bay movie. All style and no substance. :-\
Yeah, that wasn't much to cheer for. Makes no sense why everybody would throw themself in a big pile like that either. And what is Cyclops skull made of? He should have been out cold after the first hit from Cap.
Not to mention that Magneto easily should be able to take down the Helicarrier, Wolverine and Iron Man by himself. And how about getting rid of Cap's shield while we're at it? :laugh:
Yeah, especially when you're getting knocked in the skull by Vibranium. :laugh:
And I was certainly expecting something interesting to happen between the Iron Man & Magneto fight. Hell, when you have the caption; "Man in a metal suit verses the mutant master of magnetism" you're leading the reader on, but sadly Quicksilver showed up and ended what would have been something cool to see.
Been reading Ex Machina. Not as engaging as Y - The Last Man. Bit too episodic. But still very solid stuff.
I very much liked Ex Machina. Part of that could be because in the end, it does in fact end. It has a solid conclusion.
That was one of the major selling points of Y for me. How many issues does Ex Machina run for?
Not sure. I read the trades, of which there are about ten.
Righto. I've read the first 4 TPBs.
I just read the first seven issues of Superman under DC's New 52 and for the most part I thought it was pretty enjoyable. It was easy enough to get into, and at no point did I feel lost or annoyed because a reference was made to another book I haven't read. The art was pretty standard.
Nothing jumped out at me and said 'wow' – the books could have a used a few more splash pages to heighten the experience; as for the stories themselves, again nothing groundbreaking. Clark is Clark and when he's Superman – over the course of the first few issues, he fights a few alien menaces over Metropolis. Then at one point during issue 5 an alien entity takes his place goes on crazy totalitarian rage through the city.
As for Superman's suit, I really like it. It has more emphasis on red and blue with very little yellow. It looks a lot like Cavill's suit in the upcoming Man of Steel movie. I think I'll start picking this up monthly to get my Superman fix.
And in May – the following are going to be released as collections, with the first 7 or 8 issues of each book. And, I plan on checking them all out! :laugh:
Batman: Court of Owls Volume 1
Green Lantern: Sinestro Volume 1
Justice League: Origin Volume 1
Wonder Woman: Blood Volume 1
Action Comics doesn't get released as a collection until August, but I am going to get that one for sure. :)
I'll probably give it a look again once the collection is released, might be better for the story to read them all at once. Wonder Woman and Batman are a must buy for me as well, they were great.

Aye -- what is it about about
Action Comics as to why you like it? :)
Apart from it being well written and the artwork pretty decent, it's also interesting to see a bit more radical Superman, who really comes across as more of a everyday man here. Also, it's fun to read a story where he's a bit more restricted when it comes to his powerset. The things he can do in Action Comics is pretty much the same as back in the 30's. :)

I jelly! What are some of them?
Well I just grabbed a handful at random, and what I have in front of me are:
Astonishing X-Men #39 Aug. 2011
JLA: Justice League of Aliens #1 Mar. 2001
Legion '91 #23 1991
JLA: Justice League of America #100 Aug. 2004
JLA: Justice League of America One Shot Dec. 2012
Kamandi: At Earth's End #2 Jul. 1993
Justice Society of America #40 Aug. 2010
JLA Classified #27 Nov. 2006
Hulk #32 No date (red hulk)
Metal Men #5 of 8 Mar. 2008
I did get a shitload of Justice League and the many versions of them, so excuse the DC overload.
Nice! Astonishing X-Men was flipping great when Whedon was doing it. Just started to stick my foot in DC's New 52 myself with Superman and it's not too bad. :)
Haven't bothered with the New 52. Even though I wish I could I can't because I've never been fortunate enough to buy comics before, today it's easier, but I can't be bothered unless I have cash and am directly within close proximity of comic books.
Question:
I wanted to start reading Civil War. Any idea where I should start at?
Civil War #1
Many of the crossovers are unnecessary that do little to advance the plot. The meat of the story takes place in the core book itself. So if you stick with Civil War 1-7, you should be golden. :)
However if you're interested in seeing either the pro-registration side or the anti-registration side, by all means check out the crossover titles of the event.
I noticed all the crossovers, that's why I asked.
So essentially as long as I get 1-7 I won't really be missing out on anything plot wise?
Quote from: coolbreeze on Apr 22, 2012, 05:17:23 AM
So essentially as long as I get 1-7 I won't really be missing out on anything plot wise?
Yeah -- all the important stuff takes place in the core issues of
Civil War 1-7. Lot's of good stuff as well. Something
major involving Spider-Man and an unexpected appearence of Marvel's dark vigilante. ;)
Sounds amazing. I'm off to order them right now.
Thanks for the info. :)
Might pick up some cross overs too...
No problem. Enjoy. :)
Oh, one more thing.
Are any of the cross-overs better than others? Are there any you might recommend?
I thought Civil War: Frontline was pretty good. It's essentially the event from reporter's perspective like Ben Urich. And Civil War: Captain America who's anti-registration as well as Civil War: Iron Man who's pro-registration is great. Seeing as they're the leaders for each of their sides. It delves into their psyche as to why they've chosen their side on the issue.
Thanks mate. I haven't kept up with Marvel Comics since the 90's. With the Avengers coming out, I figure now is as good a time as any to get back to it.
Ordered Civil War, Civil War: Avengers, Civil War: Frontline.
I just read Winter Soldier 1-4 by Ed Brubaker and really enjoyed them. Bucky Barnes and Black Widow are partners trying to get a hold of three Soviet soldiers in stasis tubes who were programmed to be assassins like Bucky. The trail leads to the Red Ghost and Lucia Von Bardas.
There's also an assassination attempt on Doctor Doom by one of the assassins; which leads to a frame job involving a Doombot and the United Nations. For the most part I like Butch Guice's art on this. It's very gritty style and with a heavy emphasis on shadows. I feel it works well with the tone of the book. Also those covers by Lee Bermejo are f**king awesome.
B.P.R.D.

Yeah, same here.
So Free Comic Book Day is coming up May 5th, and when I got to the comic shop kind of close to me, I'm hoping to buy Iron Man Extremis, since I've heard pretty good things about it, and it seems to be the basis for IM3.
But, I'm also kind of in the mood to read something Thor related. Preferably with Loki, but anything will do. And good TPBs that you guys would recommend?
If you want to read some good Thor stories, you should check out Straczynski's run. It's been collected in a few paperbacks. There's also a collection called Thor: The Trials of Loki, collecting four issues which are centered around the God of Mischief. That's also been released as a paperback.
In other news, I ordered the first three hardcover collections of Punisher MAX today. I'm really looking forward to reading The Slavers again, that was my favorite story.
Thanks Lauf. Those sound interesting. I'll keep an eye out, see what they have :)
I agree with Laufey and give
Stracynski's Thor run the highest recommendation.

Gooooood.The Slavers is a fantastic storyline. :)
Is it just me, or is the Hardcover Punisher Max V4 impossible to find?
It's probably out of print. It's annoying when that happens.

Either it had a low print run or it sold very well.
So it wasn't banned like I've been reading on other sites? :laugh:
Quote from: coolbreeze on Apr 25, 2012, 10:27:16 PM

Who claimed to have banned it, and why?
I did a google search for it and one of the forums had someone who said that Forbidden Planet told him it was banned from publication. No reasoning as too why. Which is why I figured it was BS.
Yeah, that does sound like a load of BS. I can't ever recall something like that, which is pretty recent – being banned from Marvel or anything from DC. The book is graphic, but the purpose of the MAX line is to tell more adult oriented stories. Most likely it had a low print run.
Ya it doesn't make sense to ban a MAX comic. Maybe I'll just pick up the other HC's and hope it goes back into print someday.
Banning a MAX comic over content is like complaining that a porno wasn't fit for your family
You know what your getting into with a MAX comic
Laufey – I have a question. I am looking at the Batman: Court of Owls HC that comes out next month, but at the same time I see a bunch of crossover issues that coincide with the event. Will the story make sense of I just pick up the Batman HC or do I have to track down some of these crossover issues (i.e. Nightwing, Batwing etc.) to fully understand what's going on story wise?

Yes, it is. :)
Quote from: First Blood on Apr 26, 2012, 03:38:01 AM

Cool. I just recently heard about it. Might check some out. Civil War has reignited my passion in Marvel Comics, maybe The New 52 will do the same for DC.
How you liking Civil War so far? What issue are you on? Are you a supporter of Cap or Iron Man? :laugh:
I finished the main story. It was amazing. Right now I'm reading through Iron Man's arc.
As much as I like Iron Man, I think I'd have to go with Captain America on this one. Oh and the way they handled Spider Man's story was awesome. My favourite part was having Punisher show up. That was great. I wish he was featured more. Might have to check out his Civil War War Journals.
Probably would of helped if I was caught up more in the Marvel Universe. The part where Thor shows up, I was like YES! Then he starts owning Cap's team I was like NO!
Spoiler
I didn't realize he was "dead" and that was actually a cyborg Thor clone.
Yeah, having Punisher show up was definitely a fist pumping moment for me. He was the last character I expected to see in that story.
Ive been reading the Ms Marvel issues of Civil War. I'm liking it,and im liking her.
Punisher Dead End - Decent but a bit disappointing that a couple of bad guys got away without Punisher punishing them.

I'm 99% sure that the crossover event (called
City of Owls, I think) doesn't take place until after the events that happens in
Court of Owls, so you should have no problem following the story. :)

With my day off, I decided to go down to the comic shop.
No luck finding Punisher Max v4, but I did ask. They told me it's currently out of print. Not banned or any other nonsense.
Any thoughts our opinions on if I should buy the newly released volumes for Batman: No Man's Land and the KnightSaga (KnightFall, KnightQuest, and Knight's End)? I'm not sure though since I know that KnightFall is the main story told and that Part 2 and 3 continue on but aren't as important as the events that happened in Part 1; but I want the "complete story" even if it's buying one great book (KnightFall) and having two mediocre not so great parts after that.

Knightfall, in all honesty, was mediocre and gimmicky. It's not as epic as most comic-book guys make it out to be. No Mans Land, however, I recently picked up, and it's good. Actually, it's very good.
No Mans Land is good stuff. An earthquake rocks Gotham and it's up to the Dark Knight to control the chaos.
So I shall pick up the two volumes of No Man's Land and try and find KnightFall at a library.
That's a good way to go. Knightfall's worth a read before TDKR, but No Man's Land is way better in every way

Most of them are still available in TPB form I think. Garth Ennis' run of the character was one of – if not thee best interpretation of the character. Frank is anti-hero to the core. One mean motherf**ker, that's for sure.

In The Beginning is one of my favorite stories aside from
The Slavers. The opening panels going back to Frank's origin set the stage for that run. You should check out

Kitchen Irish.
I saw
Born. With your recommendation I'll check it out next time I'm at the shop.

(http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/1/1/27/981)I'm mostly interested in the Serenity/Star Wars book (I need to get caught up on the rest of the Serenity comics). I'll probably also get The Guild one, if I'm allowed two.
Wow, nothing really appealing on that list for me at all. With the exception of Avengers: Age of Ultron Point One and DC Comics The New 52 Special. :-\
Same here, nothing that I'm really interested in except for Avengers, Transformers, Peanuts, Bongo, New 52, Star Wars/Serenity crossover, and Aliens Vs. Dinosaurs just for the hell of it.
Just read Avengers vs. X-Men Round Three. This event, I am ready to throw in the towel. Whilst the whole issue wasn't fighting still nothing developed plot wise. With the exception of The Avengers finding out Hope is giving off five different energy readings across the globe. And it was Steve's turn to act like a dick and kicked Wolverine out of the Quinjet literally.
Doesn't sound like much of a loss if I'm sitting this one out then.

Well, they are both written by the same person (Joss Whedon's brother) and, if I recall correctly, the book is meant to show some similarity between the two groups. Should be interesting, seeing them on similar missions like that. :)
Yeah they are both dirty smugglers, should be amusing reads. :D

I just read the first issue of Earth 2 and World's Finest. This was a interesting take on some of the heroes. You know how in regular DC history, Golden Age heroes such as Alan Scott and Jay Garrick were later replaced by more modern versions (Hal Jordan, Barry Allen). Well, here it's the other way around. Earth is invaded by Apokolips, and Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman (along with the rest of Earth's heroes) all fall in battle while defeating them. Supergirl and Robin (who in this world is Batman's daughter) goes through a portal and ends up in DC's New 52 universe, where they take up the roles of Power Girl and the Huntress. Flash foward a couple of years and we are introduced to Alan Scott and Jay Garric, both powerless. As the first issue closes up, we see Jay coming in contact with the god Mercury, one of the few survivors of the Earth-Apokolips war. With that, I think it's safe to guess where Jay will get his speed powers from in this universe.
I definitely recommend that you guys check this out. Especially Earth 2. :)
Power Girls new uniform is terrible... :/
Holy shit, does this look awesome. :o
It's just a shame that Steve Dillon is doing the rest of the art.

So I went to Free Comic Book Day today, was pretty cool. I got a free Thor HeroClix (looks nice with my other ones), the Serenity/Star Wars book, The Guild/Buffy book, and some Avengers book.
I looked over at their TPBs (it was awesome, they were selling them by one get one), but I couldn't find any of the ones that I wanted (with the exception of The Infinity Gauntlet, which was too expensive). I did, however, buy the Iron Man adaptation I am Iron Man!, and got the new Fury's Big Week TPB for free. I also bought the one-shot Agents of S.H.I.E.l.D. comic for $1. Good day, I would say :)
I went to my LCS after seeing The Avengers again, and all the good stuff was gone. Literally nothing of interest was left. Do I really want a copy of My Favorite Martian? Ah...no. :(
I got the Avengers comic. I really do like Bendis as a writer.
Planet Hulk is excellent, the story begins with Hulk in a savage alien planet (he was sent to this place by the Avengers Iluminatti) and Hulk show to that world that he is unstoppable and undestructable. In this planet he has to fight many powerful warriors and monsters, is like Conan had a fusion with Hulk. This book is the prelude to the World War Hulk blockbuster. The art is just great, the story is really fun and fast.
It's great. One of the best Hulk stories out there. Greg Pak did a wonderful job with the character before Jeph Loeb came along and dumbed him down again.
The Death of Superman really surprised me how good and well written and drawn it was for a, let's face it- shlocky, inexpensive cash grab by DC comics who attempted to boost sales here. Doomsday emerges as the toughest opponent Superman has ever faced, decimating the whole Justice League on his way to Metropolis until he and Superman both kill each other. A filthy cash grab by DC, this was takern seriously as it was covered across the globe. Is Doomsday the man who killed the 90s? This was also to return the Superman character back to his origins as gothic after selling out in the 1980s with the movies.

I don't see how Superman was or ever has been gothic...
I thought it was fairly poorly written, actually. Same goes with Knightfall.
Batman The Long Halloween and Year One are the most near perfect Batman graphic novels I have read so far. They both capture the essence of the character very well. As for the Long Halloween by itself, it takes the traditional origin of Two-Face that most fans of the comics know and twists it around to fit into a convoluted murder mystery. This approach in itself merits points for creativity, and its homages to various films from The Godfather to Silence of the Lambs makes it a treat for any film buff like myself.

I have two copies of that comic, one of which is still shrink-wrapped and sealed. I'll be saving that puppy for later ;D
Had the death stuck though, it would've made the comic worth much more though.
"Watchmen" is not only an incredible graphic novel, but also an incredible piece of literary work. The characters are amazingly multi-faceted, and are developed throughout the story with an unparalleled sense of humanity and realism. This is a story about superheroes, yet after reading this you will question what it is to be a hero at all. An obvious amount of care, thought, and dedication was put into this work, and after reading it you will feel as if you have just realized something profound about our human race as a whole. A thought-provoking masterwork.
Here's our first look at Earth 2's Hawkgirl.

I'm not too crazy about the helmet, but the rest looks okay.
X-MEN second coming is a very good book even though it was very rushed. I am a huge fan of DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. This story is about as close to a continuation of that story as you will get in this lifetime from Marvel. You get to see ROGUE finally cut loose even though it was too short in my opinion. My one gripe was that my favorite character WARPATH was left out of the story except for one panel in the end. I don't want to say to much and ruin it for anyone that actually hasn't read this. My gripes are small because I bought this even after I read the original comics, so that says how good this is.
I'm really interested in reading some Avengers material, anyone know of anything good to check out?
If you don't mind something different to mainstream Avengers, Ultimates 1 and 2 are must reads.
Yeah, I agree. You should definitely check out Ultimates 1 & 2, MudButt. Not only did it inspire the movie a lot, but it also has the best Hawkeye action I've ever read. Especially the second volume. :)
Ulitmates 1 & 2 for sure. Then there's The Kree-Skrull War which is just fantastic. :)
I'll definitely be checking that out then ;D
Thanks guys, I rarely read comics now but the MCU has gotten me so into Marvel again I'd love to be able to read the material it comes from now.
I just read
The Walking Dead #97.
Spoiler
Rick, Andrea and some other people clashed with the group known as the Saviors, killing some of them and sending their boss a message that they would be dealt with should they not back down from Jesus and the Hilltop that Rick & Co allied themself with.
Also, Kirkman commented on
#100.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/FourColorFilm/news/?a=59435 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/FourColorFilm/news/?a=59435)
QuoteI can say that issue #100 is going to easily be the most gruesome, most violent, disturbing issue of "The Walking Dead" yet.
I fear...
Spoiler
...they might kill off Andrea in this. :(
Since you're up to 97, what would you say about the previous story arc (91-96)? The TPB should be out in a few weeks, and I already have it preordered.
It's pretty good. They introduce a new character I really liked, as well as expanding the world a lot.
Nice. Book 15 was good, but seemed to be mostly set up. Looks like they're leading into something really big with the current arc :)
Well I just ordered Ultimates 1 & 2 from Amazon ;D
Anything else good to read? Preferably anything Iron Man, Hawkeye, Daredevil, or Iron Fist related? :)
Daredevil: Born Again
One of the best DD stories out there.
The Immortal Iron Fist
The run by Ed Brubaker & Matt Fraction.

Thanks bro!
No problem. :)
Those two definitely look like very interesting stories, I will for sure check them out!
All this MCU is getting me pumped for these future characters that have been teased at getting their own film ;D
All-Star Superman inherently blows away all other Superman stories. All twelve issues are seamless and complete, despite how short they sometimes appear. When I first read this, I didn't think it was the best, and I actually thought that Vol. 1 was better than Vol. 2. I just read the whole thing again, and I think that both books are stunningly equal in quality.
In my mind, the culmination of All-Star Superman comes at issue 10 of Vol. 2, and that chapter casts a beautifully omnipotent light on Superman. The first time I read it, I missed exactly what Superman had created. I won't divulge that revelation here, but it really is on par with those historic Morrison-penned events like Animal Man on peyote looking at the reader, or the amazing finale of Doom Patrol. All-Star Superman continues that mind-shattering tradition, and if you don't read between the lines, you might miss it the first time.
I just read the first issue of the new Marvel Zombies.

A new dimension where the Nazis won WWII by turning themself into zombies is discovered. A taskforce is created to deal with them before they can break into other worlds. Led by Howard the Duck, with Dum Dum Dugan as second in command, this "Ducky Dozen" are sure to kick some zombie ass.
So yeah, this was pretty damn fun. Looking forward to next issue. :)

No real details at the moment other than it has 1200 pages.

lol, fair enough,
although according to here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Omnibus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Omnibus)) it will only include
Marvel Zombies: Dead Days #1; Marvel Apes: Prime Eight #1; Marvel Zombies: Evil Evolution #1; Ultimate Fantastic Four #21-23, 30-32;
Marvel Zombies #1-5; Black Panther (2005) #28-30; Marvel Zombies 2 #1-5; Marvel Zombies Return #1-5; Marvel Zombies 3 #1-4; Marvel Zombies 4 #1-4; Marvel Zombies 5 #1-5; Marvel Zombies Supreme #1-5
so no sign of Marvel Zombies Vs The Army of Darkness or Marvel Zombies Destroy
also that book is going to be frickin' heavy, and it'll probably be cheaper to buy the books separately.
Read for curiosity an history of Tony Stark's MK armors... The f**k is with the latest ones that are stored in his bones?
I think it takes away some of the character's charm, personally.
The writers were high as balls I imagine :laugh:
Yeah, I honestly don't even know, they took the nano machine thing too far.

If it means Chris Claremont returning to the X-Men, I'll shit gold.
I read Comic Books and that started on the 81th comic series of Spiderman actually and have completely took off from there. There are some back copies I buy and there are those which are a little rare so I make it a point not to get ahead of myself and actually read it. Even though it kills that I could not read what I bought as a comic book to begin with.

Dude! Spoilers!!
And why is Claremont so highly regarded? I read Alien/ Predator : Deadliest of the Species and it was awful. Think I've read some of his X-Men stuff, and it never struck me as spectacular.
I can't wait for FOX to come out and somehow try and tie this crap up with the films in some way.

I think he defined the characters and the X-Men Universe as a whole. Whereas Stan Lee laid the blueprint, Chris Claremont evolved it. He worked on
Uncanny X-Men for 17 straight years. Personally, he's my favorite X-Men writer. :)
Don't see it.
People rave about Moore and Miller and I'm completely on board with that. Claremont - meh.
It may have something to do with the era it was written in. I read some John Byrne Fantastic Four stuff and found it excrutiating. Every issue they have to recap not only what happened last issue, but explain each of their super-powers over and over. It's so expository. I understand that it was an old Stan Lee thing where anyone should be able to pick up any issue of a comic and immediately be able to follow it. I think Claremont's X-Men stuff was around the same time.
Compared to these days where any recaps of previous events are very brief - and since I read all this stuff as trade paperback - it flows a lot better. Having Aliens comics as my primary comic book material when I was younger probably informed this too. With them you often had to go back to a previous issue for something you missed, because they never did any lengthy expository recaps.
I like Claremont for his ability to set up story arcs. But his style seems a little dated now.
Anyone here read Locke and Key?

Different strokes for different folks. :laugh:
Personally much of the stuff Marvel's putting out today seems like a waste of time. That big event that Marvel's so posthumously promoting
Avengers vs. X-Men is a big waste of time. And this
First X-Men looks like another one. I don't know, guess I prefer the older material to the newer stuff, like Walt Simonson's Thor, Claremont's X-Men, Miller's DD and Michelinie's Amazing Spider-Man.
And yeah, Byrne and get a little too wordy for his own good. Believe me, I've read a shit load of his FF run. Whilst I found it good at times, it can get frustrating.
In regards to Marvel stuff - and I've read all sorts of different characters from different periods - I tend to prefer superheroes who don't have any actual powers (think I've already mentioned this). Same goes for DC. Batman, Punisher, recent Iron Man stuff, Hellblazer. Possibly why I never really got into FF or X-Men.
That said I dig the X-Men films and watched Thor on the weekend and it was sweet.
Go figure.
Ooh yeah, Punisher is some good stuff. Have you dipped into Garth Ennis' MAX take on the character?
Wossat?
I worship at the altar of Ennis.

Its been quite a while since I had a bit of a Batman spree ( I'd never read comics before other than one of the Sin City books I got as a birthday present) and after playing Arkham Asylum ive got the bug again so ive just ordered Batman Versus Bane and Knightfall Volume 1. Versus Bane apparently features Banes first appearance and eveybody knows what Knightfall is. The Knightfall im buying is a new addition and Volumes 2 and 3 will follow later this year. I could have bought older versions but theyre quite expensive and apparently these new ones will also include parts of the story that the originals had left out.
They must be re-releasing Knightfall due to the release of TDKR, although thats not why ive decided to buy some Bane related books Ive been meaning to check them out since last year but never got around to it. Cant wait. Ive heard some people say its distinctly average but alot of people said that about Hush and I really enjoyed that.
Thor : Latverian Prometheus - meh.
Deadpool : Monkey Business - meh.
Fatale: Holy shit where is my mind
So I just finished The Ultimates.
I loved it. The art was great, and the action was even better. The dialogue was pretty good as well, although a couple of things in there seemed to Michael Bay. I thought it was pretty hilarious how Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are barely in the story and they claim to have done so much. I will definitely check out the second volume.
Picked this up today. :)

Next on my list is Ultimates 2, Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimate Collection vol 1, and New Avengers vol 1 ;D
Ultimates 2 have a very exciting story arc. Especially for your favorite character. ;)
Ah, I can't wait to read it. I loved him in the first one, he wasn't in till later in the story but he did his part. ;D
I hope someday that clash with the Hulk makes it to the big screen.
Renner mentioned that in one of his interviews, that Hawkeye was the only one that could take down. I guess that part didn't make it to the movie... yet. ;D

I'm excited to read the second one though. I also started Daredevil : Born Again, it's very good. The art is different obviously because it's older, but this damn story! Damn, Murdock/DD is just a great character.

Also, the whole scene with the Hulk and Loki in the movie was pretty much taken from Hulk's trashing of Kleiser in Ultimates.

I'm excited to read the second one though. I also started Daredevil : Born Again, it's very good. The art is different obviously because it's older, but this damn story! Damn, Murdock/DD is just a great character.
Ma nigga. I am glad you're enjoying Born Again. :)
Yeah it's really great, they definitely need to adapt this into a movie!
Quote from: MudButt on May 16, 2012, 10:52:46 PM
That was in the first story, no? it's when he's beating up Kleiser, and he says Surrender?
I was cracking up as well :) :)
I thought he yelled it during the...

Invincible Iron Man : Extremis - Pretty sweet.
Apparently the basis for Iron Man 3 too.
QuoteYeah it's really great, they definitely need to adapt this into a movie!
Dunno if they could do Born Again as the next Daredevil flick. But definately the one after.
Is Avengers Disassembled any good?
I'm hooked on comics again, I must have more ;D
I started reading JMS's The Twelve. Really liking it so far.
Holy shit. Batman: Knightfall Volume 1 just arrived and its f**king huge. The biggest one I own so far is probably The Long Halloween, but this absolutely dwarves it. I'm gonna wait until Batman Vs Bain arrives before I get stuck in though because apparently that includes Bain's introduction and leads into Knightfall.
630 pages. Just for Volume 1. Well that's gonna keep me busy for a while.
Just read Avengers vs. X-Men Round Four. ::)
Time to give up. Wolverine goes from hell-bent on killing Hope to teaming up with her.
I'm reading
The Thanos Imperative right now, which picks up where
The Guardians of the Galaxy left off. Another universe, known as the Cancerverse (a place where life has won), is spilling into our universe and are trying to bring the beings that infected their worlds with them. All the heavy hitters in the universe assembles to take on this new treath.
The Lovecraftian themes are strong in this one.
Might not want to click this spoiler if you haven't read
The Guardians of the Galaxy.

Really enjoying the cosmic stuff so far. :)
Are you gonna read Infinity Gauntlet as well? :P
Yup, once I catch up with the more recent events.
Just gave this an order. I've been wanting to read it since the movie started being rumored, and Laufey's recommendation yesterday sealed the deal for me. I'm not much of a comic reader at all, but I'd like to get into some of the cosmic stuff :)

An excellent choice. ;D
Yep, really excited to read it (and the three subsequent volumes, whenever I get around to ordering those). Then I really want to try to read the old Infinity Gauntlet story.
Just bought the newly re-released Batman: Year One.

I haven't read it in a while, gonna be fun checking it out before TDKR. :)
Went and picked up
Batman: A Court of Owls on the recommendation of the Swede. And I also picked up
Justice League Origin – which more or less has been compared to Bay movie. But that's okay; I enjoy big stupid fun once in a while. :D
Going to pick up
Green Lantern: Sinestro and
Wonder Woman: Blood next chance I get. :)

Post in the Guess Which Movie thread...now.
I already did. ;)
I just read and finished Batman: The Court of Owls HC and loved it. First of all, I think Greg Capullo's art on this is fantastic. I am very much a fan of his work on Spawn. So he seems right at home with this character. As for the story, there's a series of murders in Gotham all perpetrated by a shadowy group of Gotham's elite, that may or may not exist. As Bruce digs deeper into the mystery, he finds some truly horrifying revelations. The scene with Batman/Bruce in the Owl's underground labyrinth near the end was just insanely weird and creepy. It was perhaps my favorite moment of the story as well. Thanks for the recommendation Laufey. ;)
Off to read Justice League: Origin...

It's funny you mention that because I just finished the first issue of when Green Lantern meets Batman and already I hate the way Johns is portraying GL in it. Green Lantern is one of my favorite DC characters. But he's like some overconfident, clueless douche in the first issue.
"Note to self Batman: Green Lantern can handle anything." ::)
And then in the opening panel he's completely oblivious to the helicopters chasing Batman. Oh and let's not forget Superman knocks him down the f**king street before the issue ends. :'( :laugh:
Spoiler
Does it get better or worse?
Let's not forget how Batman stole his power ring. ;)
I don't really know if it gets better or worse, can't remember exactly what happens in each issue. But I would say it's about the same.

I would have expected more Green Lantern love from Johns. At least he didn't do a Miller and had Robin beat the shit out of him.

Yeah, it's quite strange. Though he probably shows his love for GL in his own title which I look forward to picking up. And as kooky and fun as
All Star Batman and Robin was, Miller treated GL like Batman's bitch in that story. It still breaks my heart thinking about it...
Is that the one where he paints the room yellow? That cracked me up. Never saw the attraction in Green Lantern.
Just read Batman: Vengeance of Bane and Bane of the Demon in the Batman Versus Bane TPB that has recently been released. Bane's origin was actually a decent read and the story with Talia and Ra's after was pretty good too although it finished without a conclusion so I'll have to find if theres any collected works that continue on from that story.
Im going to start reading the newly released edition of Knightfall now.
I finished Justice League: Origin. Whilst it was certainly entertaining, I feel it lacked proper character development. There was such a heavy emphasis on the action, with hardly any room for the reader to catch their breath. And some of the characters didn't sit right with me. As mentioned, in the first issue GL is the butt end of each joke and that carries throughout the rest of the book. Also, when Bruce removed his mask and revealed his identity to GL – that felt odd as well. Though I really liked how they did the origin of Cyborg and weaved him into the group. And there were quite a few hilarious moments, (which were intended of course) that I loved. It's not bad per say but I can certainly see how it looks and feels like a Michael Bay movie.
Daredevil: Born Agan
Wow, just wow. What a powerful story. Murdock get's his identity traded for some good stuff by his ex-junkie Karen Page, Kingpin finds out and makes Murdock's life a living hell. It was just great, I really did love it. If this is what they plan to bring onto the big screen for the reboot then it's going to be a hell of a movie.
Batman: Knightfall, may yet be one of the most involving and exhilirating Batman graphic novel collections to date. Part One: Broken Bat is just one of the three-part collection. In Part One, a mysterious mastermind named Bane destroys most of Arkham Asylum...the prison that houses some of Batman's deadliest and most memorable foe. The Batman is then forced to combat some of his deadliest enemies, including The Joker, Firefly, The Ventriloquist, Mad Hatter and Poison Ivy. As Batman hunts down the criminals, he becomes weary and tired from battling endless waves of criminals and as he struggles to find Bane.

That's some f**ked up shit right there. Worth picking up? Just got a hold of Green Lantern: Sinestro myself.
I would say it's worth it. There's no hardcover, only a paperback release, so it shouldn't be too expensive.
Green Lantern: Sinestro was decent. Pretty much on the same level as the earlier Lantern comics by Geoff Johns.
I'm two issues into Guardians of the Galaxy: Legacy and quite enjoying it so far. Despite not knowing anything at all about Marvel's cosmic stories, I'm genuinely enjoying the story and, even more so, the characters. Can't wait to see how these events play out when I finish the book.
Yup, the characters are great. Didn't much care for Star-Lord in the beginning, but he have grown on me. It wasn't that he was a bad character or anything, I just thought he lacked some personality compared to the rest of the team.

Justice League International but heard that just got cancelled. And I love the early GL stuff from Johns.
Rebirth,
Secret Origin,
Sinestro Corps War etc. All makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

lol, same here. I'll only be using them when appropriate, just had to get hyped up since I got back to the galaxy.
So I just finished
Guardians of the Galaxy: Legacy. Really enjoying this series. Prior to reading I knew absolutely nothing about Marvel's cosmic stories (and pretty much nothing about Marvel comics in general), but it was very easy to get into, had a cool story, and very interesting characters. After reading these first six issues, I'd say that my two favorites (aside from the scene stealing Rocket Raccoon) are Quasar and Adam Warlock, though there really isn't a weak link on the team. Everyone really had their moment to shine (well, except the new guy, but he isn't really on the team. Yet, at least). I guess the last two issues in this arc were Secret Invasion tie-ins, and despite knowing nothing about the arc other than that it is Skrull related, I enjoyed the direction it took the story in.
So yeah, when I find it cheap enough, I can't wait to pick up the second volume of GotG. Maybe I'll even read the Annihilation stories that led up to this series, and whatever series take place after it. This cosmic universe is certainly very, very interesting. I'd certainly love to see a movie made.
EDIT: Oh, do they ever explain what's up with
Spoiler
the new guy and why he has Captain America's shield, and why he was frozen in time in the Avengers mansion?
just started going through my old collectios and started to read the original VENOM series , awsome character ;) prob love em cause he looks so 'alien' wink wink haha also read through ALIENS : LABYRINTH killer story and artwork . and a couple EVIL ERNIE lol

Yup, that's kind of a big deal. :laugh:

Figured it would be big, just wanted to make sure it was covered, since I think the series got canceled :D
And awesome hearing about The Thanos Imperative. I need to get caught up on this stuff, and soon. 8)
Picked up Earth 2 #1 today. Figure I'd give it a shot. I am not too into else-worlds stories but this one caught my eye. And Lauf read it (how did you get it early??) a while back. :)
Any one know of any good Marvel Graphic Novels? I'd love to read some more. ;D
You should check out Punisher MAX. ;)
Thanks I'll check that out, is Spiderman Reign or Old Man Logan any good?
I have only read Old Man Logan and I loved it. If you have seen Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, you know what kind of style to expect.
Yeah, I was given 200 hundred dollars today, an early Birthday present so I'd love to order some pretty good comics as well but I want some real good ones!
I'll check out Old Man Logan then ;D If you can think of any really good ones feel free to let me know!
Congrats, man. :)
I would recommend that you give Sub-Mariner: The Depths a chance. They pretty much took a Marvel character and made it into a horror movie, while still keeping it true to the character. Some very good art and a interesting story in that one.
I know you said Marvel, but if you were willing to give DC a chance, I would recommend that you check out Kingdom Come. It's about Superman and all the classic heroes facing off against the younger, more extreme, generation of superheroes.
I'm sure First Blood will throw you a few examples once he gets online as well.

Well to follow
Old Man Logan, I'd recommend
Wolverine: Weapon X by Barry Windsor-Smith or
Wolverine by Frank Miller. Then of course if you want to see a maniac write Wolverine, check out
Wolverine: Enemy of the State Volumes 1 & 2 by Garth Ennis.
Also, if you're a Hulk fan, then you should certainly check out
Planet Hulk by Greg Pak. It's one of the best Hulk stories out there. It's literally like
John Carter but with the Hulk. He's sent to a alien planet and goes native. Another great Hulk story is
Hulk: Gray by Jeph Loeb and Time Sale. It's a re-telling of the origin of the jade giant.
And seeing that you liked
Daredevil: Born Again so much, there's
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear which is bit of an origin story. And that's also by Frank Miller.
Hope this helps. :)

No problem man. Have you ever tried DC's stuff?
I've borrowed some stuff from a friend or cousin before, the only good one I remember reading was Batman: Year One. I don't find very many characters in DC interesting other then Batman, Green Arrow, and The Flash. I tried getting into the New 52, but it wasn't my thing.
I'd be willing to give it a try again though if you have any good material in mind?
If you like Batman, Court of Owls would be a great place to start. It's the most recent Batman comic and it's very good.
If you like Year One, read JOKER.
I try to get everyone into it since it's my favorite graphic novel, but be warned, it's pretty f**ked up

Yeah, it's from the view of Joker's newly appointed right-hand man. The first time I read it I didn't really like it because it was alot to grasp regarding Joker's mind, but the more I read it the better it gets. The symbolism and dialogue is fantastic
This is so f**king cool.

So, you've read Green Lantern: Sinestro yet, First Blood? :)
Finished that first issue. Going to continue reading it tonight. Already I like it. Hal isn't the idiot he's made out to be in
Justice League. And the opening scene where the Guardians are putting their faith back in Sinestro was nice. I'll give my full review once I finish it though. :)
Today, bought:
DMZ: Free States Rising
Global Frequency
Ocean
Nextwave: Agents of Hate
Halo Jones
And I finished
Green Lantern: Sinestro. For the most part, it was a decent science fiction romp with one of my favorite DC characters. Hal Jordan has been stripped of his ring by the Guardians, but he's confronted by Sinestro who creates a ring for him. But there's a catch. Hal has to work with Sinestro to help his enslaved world, Korugar; which is under control by Sinestro's former Yellow Lantern Corps. I really liked the uneasy partnership between Hal & Sinestro. I never really felt I trusted Sinestro throughout the book. And I guess that was the impression Johns was trying to give. The scene between Sinestro and Arsona on Korugar was a great moment. It was nice to see Sinestro with a little more humility, then what we're used to.
Spoiler
Also, I can't wait to see more of the Guardians and what the Third Army is about.
Of the three books I've read,
Batman: The Court of Owls is still my favorite. :)
Did you pick up Wonder Woman or is that still on the list? That one is tied with Batman as my favorite.

Inu Baka Volumes 5-11
So many doggys!
Headed to my comic store to pick up volume 2 of Guardians of the Galaxy ;D
Yes, soon you'll be sucked in like the rest of us poor bastards. ;D
Got the book 20% off with a coupon, and an extra 10% off because of a small rip in the side. Should be a fun read :)
EDIT: Well, I just finished Guardians of the galaxy Volume 2: War of Kings Book 1. Really enjoyed this one, even more than the first, actually. As with the first six issues, the characters in these next six are excellent. Bug was a pretty cool new addition, and Groot was simply amazing now that we finally got to see him in action :D I think my favorite parts of the book were Star-Lords encounters in the Negative Zone. The stuff involving the prison may just be my favorite thing in the series so far. The last couple issues were really out there. Having not read Annihilation or any of the other stuff that happened before GotG, I don't know much of Moondragon's back story apart from her father and her lover, nor do I know anything about the other new characters encountered in these issues. I will say, however, that the ending of issue 12 left me very excited to see what this all means and how they follow through with it. Hoping to read the next volume as soon as possible!
EDIT again: Anyone read Nova? I know it was referenced in this book, and like GotG, it takes place after Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest and before The Thanos Imperative, and I wanted to know if it was worth checking out as well? If I ever read it it probably won't be for a long while, but it'll be nice to have some thing in mind.
How did the second volume end?
Spoiler
Phyla made some kind of deal to resurrect Moondragon, some guy who's name escapes me at the moment showed up to help, and on the last page "Death has a new avatar".
It been so long since I read any comics. I guess I should catch up soon.

Can't wait for that! I already have it (and the Cutting-Room Floor) preordered; I just hope that they didn't delay the Cutting Room-Floor. I can't find a release date, and if they pushed that back, then they won't sen me Volume 16 until that's out as well...
Another variant cover for #100.

Yeah. Alive and kicking. :laugh:
So anyone here read any of the Doctor Horrible comics?
I NEED AN OPINON FROM SOMEONE I CAN TRUST DAMMIT
It's okay. If you're a fan, you'll like it. It also takes a total of 5 minutes to read.
All of them or just the issue #1 one? Because I was planning on buying Doctor Horrible and other Horrible stories
Either way, I think I might buy it then, as long as it's/they're enjoyable, thanks
reading Batman Hush. damn good.

It was a collection of shorts written mostly by Joss's brother, I believe.
Just read the first issue of Before Watchmen: Minutemen #1 by Darwyn Cooke and really enjoyed it. Since I am big Cooke fan, I had no problems with the art. The book follows the perspective of the first Night Owl, Hollis Mason. It devolves into a monologue of how the Minutemen formed, by highlighting such characters as Sally Jupiter, Hooded Justice, The Comedian and a few others. I'll definitely be picking these up weekly.
Also, I bought it out of spite, to piss Alan Moore off. :)
Just finished Punisher MAX Vol 1: In The Beginning. Well, this was definitely the s**t. It's brutal, funny, and bats**t insane. Frank Castle is really a f***ed up individual. I'll definitely be reading it this.
Also I read Ultimate Spiderman: Ultimate Collection Vol 1. It's so addicting, once you start it you can't stop.

That's a great arc. And Frank's journey only gets better the more you read on.
I think once I get TWD Volume 16, I may just purchase the individual issues up to 100; with Season 3 of the show in production, and Volume 17 likely not due until after the show starts up again, its going to be very hard to avoid spoilers for this major issue of the book.
Two of DC's new titles look very promising. Especially
Talon. :)

QuoteWe already knew that Scott Snyder would be handling writing duties on The Talon, but it has now been revealed that he will be joined by James Tynion IV, with art from Guillem March. The series will follow Calvin Rose, the only Talon who escaped from the Court of Owls as he goes on the run from the secret group who recently revealed their presence in Batman. Sword of Sorcery will actually be an anthology book (in a similar style to All-Star Western) which will feature the return of Amethyst. This will make up the main part of the book, written by Christy Marx with art by Aaron Lopresti, while a back up tale featuring Beowulf and Grendel will be written by Tony Bedard with art by Jesus Saiz.

I just read the first seven issues of IDW's new TMNT comic and it was awesome. My prior knowledge of the Turtles is pretty much restricted to the 80's & 90's TV series. This was very different from what I remembered, but much more enjoyable. Some great and gritty art, lots of humor, some nice action and a really interesting origin story. I definitely recommend that you check it out if you have any interest in the Turtles.
finished reading Ms Marvel,brood war..pretty cool.
Have you read Wonder Woman yet, First Blood? What did you think?

Yeah, I read it. I thought it was okay. I haven't read much Wonder Woman, if any. So some of it went over my head. But it was fun in certain spots. I liked the different interpretations of the gods; Apollo, Ares, and Posiden.
The Court of Owls remains my favorite so far. I also read
Silk Spectre #1 and thought it was pretty good. It basically followed Laurie during her time in high school.
I've started on Preacher Volume 5. The stand alone Cassidy was brilliant, hilariously mocking the Anne Rice style vampire. Two word review: "F*ckin' Groovy!"
Preacher is f*cking awesome.

Well, I'm glad you didn't hate it at least. :D
Not sure how to feel about her new origin, to be honest. But the artwork is fantastic and I really like the Na'vi look of Hermes, as well as Diana's redesigned costume.

You know it.
Neonomicon - Irritated me initially, because I don't really dig Lovecraftian stories to be so overt and obvious. Something like Hellboy captures the style of HPL, but rarely makes direct reference to monsters. This makes blatant references left, right and centre and sounded a bit lazy for the first half (and I don't believe I've read any Alan Moore stuff that I'd call lazy). However there is a point to the obvious references, which eventually becomes clear. But then becomes a "all Lovecraft's writings are based on fact; not fiction" type story which I don't care for either.
How it ended up being an ultimately satisfying yarn, I don't know.
I just finished the newest volume (16) of The Walking Dead. I thought it was really good. I am already liking the character of Jesus. I am very interested to see what's to become of this new community Rick was shown. Though, knowing Kirkman, it won't be long before the shit hits the fan. Hell, it may have already begun when Jesus dropped that story about Negan on him.

I don't think, because I preordered off of Barnes & Noble without making an account; maybe I'll see if I can access it via paypal, but its unlikely I'll be able to cancel now, anyways. I guess the Cutting Room-Floor book got delayed, which pushed back my whole order (I did combined shipping).

Still, I've seen Magneto perform amazing things with his magnetism - including being able to manipulate non-magnetic materials such as plastic and rock. Even if Iron Man was flying around in a huge suit of plastic, Magneto should have been able to beat him somehow.
EDIT:I also want to add that I also saw Magneto pick up Mjölnir and literally throw it back (with magnetism) at Thor.

The fact there is iron in blood cells should mean that Magneto is basically unbeatable against anyone apart from perhaps Hulk
True. And, if I'm not mistaken, gamma radiation belongs to the electromagnetic spectrum which is what Magneto has complete control over. So I figure that, in theory, Magneto could somehow beat the Hulk... say by reverting him back to Bruce Banner?
But back to my initial point: yeah! Marvel need to clean up their act!

Vibranium can be affected by Magneto's power of magnetism?
Iron Man...well, that's obvious. But on recent events, someone, somewhere is going to come up with an explanation on how Tony can easily make suits for any situation...or whatever.
Apparently so. If you've read the Marvel Zombies story arc then you'll see Magneto cut off the top part of Captain America's head with his own shield.
Oh, and to paraphrase Magneto himself, "The invincible rubber man doesn't exactly have the same ring to it." I think Iron Man might want to consider a name-change considering hardly any of his suits are actually iron anymore.

There isn't really that much happening in this issue, more of a build up for the next one. As for the spoiler, it's just a guess of mine. There's nothing much to back it up, other than things are looking way to happy for it to stay that way.
I didn't read the spoiler, also notice how when someone

I can't wait for Issue #100, things are going to get intense!

Batman heading to Smallville?
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=39279 (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=39279)
Quote"Smallville" fans were delighted every time a Justice Leaguer like The Flash, Aquaman or Cyborg made a guest appearance on the popular CW television series. But Batman -- the DC Comics icon everyone really wanted to see– never made his way to Metropolis to pay young Clark Kent a visit.
That all changes when the Dark Knight guest-stars in a 12-week run of the bestselling digital first series, "Smallville: Season 11."
Written by former "Smallville" writer/executive story editor Bryan Q. Miller and featuring art by industry veteran ChrisCross, "Detective," which begins September 5, will see The Batman and Nightwing arrive in Metropolis after the Caped Crusader receives a tip that the person responsible for the death of his parents is somehow connected to the Man of Steel's home turf of Metropolis.
The other big reveal, of course, was that the "Smallville: Season 11" iteration of Nightwing is none other than Stephanie Brown, the former Robin who starred in Miller's critically acclaimed "Batgirl" series prior to the launch of the New 52.
The always candid Miller told CBR News he was thrilled with the response the news has generated and revealed that Batman being available to him was a major reason why he signed on for the project. Miller also shared his insight into the differences between writing for print and digital and revealed which classic DC supervillain Dean Cain was originally cast to play in his "Smallvile" Season 7 appearance before the character's identity was changed at the eleventh hour due to the possibility that bad guy was slated to appear in the then-rumored Superman feature film.
Going to have to collect all the volumes once they are out.
I just read Comedian #1 which is part of the Before Watchmen event. And I have to say, I am really enjoying this event as of late. This one had Blake placing bets on a football game with John F. Kennedy and later Blake is part of raid on Moloch the Mystic's warehouse only to find out Kennedy has been assassinated. Which sets up a pretty somber moment between both Blake and Moloch.

Ohh, this has me so hyped, despite being 9 issues behind :P Volume 16 should be arriving next week though, so I'm getting closer ;D

9 issues behind? Don't worry I won't spoil it for you. I will tell you this, "
Something to Fear" is shaping up to be one of the best volumes ever written; even better than "
No Way Out"!
Sounds awesome. I think my two favorite volumes so far were Made to Suffer (for obvious reasons) and Here we Remain (because I loved seeing the effect that the events in the previous volume had on everybody). Other standout story arcs included Fear the Hunters and No Way Out. No Way Out and all subsequent volumes have really stood out to me because those are the only ones I went into without knowing spoilers. I knew most of what happened in the first 13 volumes just by looking up the TV show and stumbling on comic spoilers before I ever even had any intentions of reading them.
To me, Fear the hunters seemed too cheesy and it was a risk they were willing to take. The only thing I didn't like about Hunters was that it seemed like a drawn out death of a certain character with "tainted meat" spanning 6 issues. You have to stay away from these spoilers dude. I also liked Rick's "Dark Time's" covering Volume 9-12. Always seems like whenever he grows a beard, he does terrible things and goes dark.
started readind Batman the Black Mirror,so far so good.

Just read Final Crisis.
Ye Gods, what a load of incoherent wank.
It lost me when Superman had to fight evil vampire overlords with a giant statue of himself. Either I didn't understand just what the hell was going on, or it just went batshit and left me behind.
Didn't just leave you behind. I thought I was fairly well versed in the DC pantheon, but the big players didn't figure that much. It's got Superman and Batman on the cover, and Batman was barely in it. >:(
Yeah, his "death" was the selling point. I couldn't get into that book at all. I tried, but Christ sometimes I wonder what drugs Morrison is on when he writes. ::)
It's so god damn confusing. I mean, by the end, I can sort of make sense of it, because when I read Morrison's stuff, usually it all makes sense in the end, but this just left me scratching my head.
The only Morrison I've read is Arkham Asylum. Between the heavy symbolism and McKean's not very user friendly art, it took me several reads just to comprehend what was going on. I mean, when you can't tell that a picture is supposed to show a character looking into a mirror, there's something wrong here. I still love the comic though. The atmosphere is amazing.
I don't recall having an issue with Morrison in the past.
This just stank though.
Batwoman #10 really kicked my ass... one hell of a plot twist at the end of this issue The rare twist that pushes a lot of different buttons.... disgusting.. ups the ante for the next issue.. and improves our apreciation of 2 different characters. :) the 2nd best "bat family" book out there imho (2nd only to Scott Snyder's Batman). It's doing a good job at exploring the characters and at bringing a gripping yarn. The villains are weirdly fascinating.
The vibe is a weird blend of spy movie and supernatural horror... quite a bit different from the standard bat books.. as Kate Kane is going against Gotham's nastiest urban legends (including the Killer Croc, La Llorona and of course, Bloody Mary) and a powerful sorcerer, Maro Ito. Great artwork as allways. The pacing in the latest arc is closer to Pulp Fiction than anything else out there.. (jumps in time, place and viewpoint) but allways keeps a clear eye on the plot and the characters.
I recommend starting with Greg Rucka's "Elegy" and "Cutter" arcs.. then move up into the solo comic..

I just read IDW's first issue of
Mars Attacks. Four Martians crash lands on Earth. One of them, Zar, is taken captive by a couple of farmers and sold to a freak show. Being treated poorly by the owner, he soon escapes and vows to take revenge on humanity. This was an awesome read and had that glorious 50's B movie feel to it, complete with a Men In Black organisation showing up. The artwork is nice as well and I really love that Martian design.

Anyone else read
Witch Doctor? In the beginning of time, the Old Ones (very Lovecraftian here, they even mention Cthulhu) arrived in our universe. As they went to sleep, parasites they had brought with them infected our worlds and became the monsters and creatures of our mythology. Humanity is Earth's immune system and Vincent Morrow is a doctor specialized on getting rid of these things. A very fun read, with some gruesome artwork.
I unintentionally stumbled across this earlier. Anyone know anything about it?

That guy alone is enough for me to check this out when it's released. :laugh:
Finally read
The Walking Dead Volume 16: A Larger World (issues 91-96).
Spoiler
I loved it. Jesus' introduction, and his character in general, was awesome, and I loved the whole concept of the trade route with the other communities.
I'm ridiculously excited to meet Negan now and see how that story is going to play out. I've said time and time again that Rick is starting to remind em of the Governor (not as dark a character, but there are similarities). When Rick and co end up attacking Negan's community, I can't wait to see if there are any more parallels. Really loving the direction that TWD is heading. Even after 96 issues the comic is still keeping me interested and surprised with the release of each volume.
Just wait until you get to the next volume. The tension is high as hell right now.
You're up to 99, right? I can't wait to hear how 100 is!
I'm almost afraid to read it.
The amount of hype the issue is receiving has me seriously considering going out and buying issues 97-100...
It might be worth it. #100 is out in two weeks, I think.
I'll have to see if I can get down there when its out then. I mostly don't want to have issue 100 spoiled for me in the time it takes for Volume 17 to come out (which should be around December), though spoilers are going to be extremely hard to avoid with Season 3 of the show on the horizon and TWD getting back into the public eye.
I hope you can get your hands on it. It would be fun if we were all up to date on this one for once. :D
I definitely think I'm going to try for this one. I'll grab all four issues when 100 is out so that I can jump in on the conversation. And I won't really feel bad buying Volume 17 after the fact because issues 101 and 102 will still be new reads for me :)
In anticipation for Issue 100 i'm re-reading Compendium One (right now i'm at Vol. 6). I'm so worried with all this "who will die" speculation that
Spoiler
Rick might actually not survive this
Given the ending of #99...

...I think most of the people that stayed behind will die. Which sadly means Andrea. :'(

Not feeling totally hyped, given Marvel's recent event, but I will check it out.
I haven't read anything with Ultron in it. In fact my only exposure to his character is via Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I'm amazed a cyborg is such a huge threat.
Paul Dini is writing a new Batman graphic novel.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TheAlexLynch/news/?a=62389 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TheAlexLynch/news/?a=62389)
QuoteAbout Writing Batman Again:
"Yeah, I have a big Batman story in me, it's a very personal one and I've just got permission from DC to do it, We're just finalizing the deal right now for me to write it as a graphic novel and I've very excited about it,"
Projected Release And Story Details:
"I've already started work on it and it'll probably be a year or two down the road but this is something that I've had inside me for a long time, it's going to be a change of pace for Batman and it'll take some of the fans by surprise when they ultimately see what the story's about."
What the story will be like:
"I think it's going to a really terrific story, I've gotten nothing but great response from the folks at DC on it. I really can't say much more until we announce it formally but I'm really looking forward to this and jumping in and devoting my entire energy to nothing but writing this Batman story."
You'd think Marvel has done enough Wars already lol..I think they need to take a step back and let the major conflicts have some breathing room between them.

I couldn't agree more. They're so obnoxious with their events, they hardly give the reader any time to catch their breath before the next one starts.
Comic book industry's in decline. Gotta keep doing special stuff to get new readers in.
That can backfire, though. Too many events, and suddenly it's just not special anymore.

Indeed. I'm only guessing at their rationale.
Just got done reading Batman - Streets of Gotham - Hush Money. Someone needs to kill that f**ker impersonating Bruce Wayne. >:( Also read me some sweet Invincible Iron Man.
I've finally found a reason to continue reading
Justice League. From #7 and onwards, there's a part of DC's new Shazam story at the end of every issue and it's pretty good. Gary Frank is doing the art and I've always liked his style. Billy starts of as a bit of a dick, but you warm up to the guy. He has yet to meet the wizard, but look who appeared in #10. ;)

Also shown is his first encounter with Rorschach and how their friendship came to be. So far, this is my favorite of the new Watchmen comics.

Yup I read it and of the one's so far, it's my favorite next to Darwyn Cooke's
Minute Men. I really like how they built the relationship between Hollis Mason and Dan. It had a strange but appropriate Batman & Robin vibe running through it. And I liked how Dan first met the Rorschach.

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of. The other one is him taking on a world full of mutated and bloodthirsty heroes, I think. I'm guessing a full crossover event would be very different from those two, should Marvel not screw it up.
Either way, I'll pick up one or two issues and see if it's worth reading. :)

LOL Punisher kills the marvel universe..what a load.
I finished reading Batman:The Black Mirror. Amazing read,really nolan-verse feel to it.

And I sure as hope those aren't eye holes (sort of) on Spidey's mask.
Started reading Gotham City Sirens, seriously one of the most fun comics ive ever read. Catwoman,Ivy and Harely provide so much diffences in personality yet they all get along somewhat its amusing. The Riddler parts are also great,its just a gret read to see the villiness/villian side of things. They arent bad people..unless you annoy them :P

I am about to read Rick Remender's run on Punisher (1-21) which sadly I've never had a chance to check out until now. It covers some of Dark Reign and the famous Franken-Castle storyline. Looking forward to this.
I really liked that run. Prepare for Ant-Man Punisher. 8)

I just read
Before Watchmen: Ozymandias #1. Ozymandias is probably the character from
Watchmen I knew least about and I had no idea of what to expect from his backstory when picking this up. I was pleasantly surprised. First of all, the art is
amazing. I really love this style and it fits so well with the character. In this first issue, we get to follow Adrian as he grows up, leaves his home to travel the world, falls in love and finally takes on the character and dons the costume of Ozymandias. Very interesting, and definitely with a Batman feel to it.
Of the ones I've read so far, this and
Nite Owl are definitely my favorites.
Hey, do any of you guys know if Dark Horse still puts out new Omnibuses? Because I've been considering getting the rest of the Serenity comics, but I noticed that The Shepard's Tale is almost impossible to get, and whenever I do find it, its $40 or $50. I'm thinking maybe its out of print now, and maybe they're compiling the two three issue series (Better Days and Those Left Behind), the graphic novel The Shepard's Tale, and all of the various one-shots and web comics.

Not feeling the hype for this "revolution". But at least this Thor suit looks better without the chainmail.
not really feeling the art work for that much. :-\
Another Revolution is too soon Marvel,too soon.
Anyone have a chance to read Batman Earth One by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank this week? Curious to know how it is.

Just read
Ozymandias #1 and damn that was good. First off, Jae Lee's art on this issue was fantastic. It fit with the character hand in hand. As for the story -- we get to know a lot about this character. Like Laufey, I didn't know much about him prior to this issue. They don't tap into his backstory as much in
Watchmen so this issue was a breath of fresh air. We get to see his genius intellect at work as well as his childhood. They also explore his fascination with Alexander The Great – as he travels the world to the places in which Alexander conquered. Quite frankly one of the best issues to come out of this event so far.
Just started to get into comic books. Like the odd ones. I am reading Epileptic right now. Its pretty rad/mad.

Well shed some light on it! How is it?
It's very different, but that's something to expect from a Elseworlds tale.
And if you want some spoilers. ;)
Spoiler
Thomas Wayne is running for mayor, against a certain Cobblepot.
Alfred and Thomas was in the army together, and Thomas saved Alfred's life. He then hires Alfed to work security during his campaign. After Thomas and Martha are killed, Alfred is left to care for Bruce, even though he just met the boy a few hours earlier.
Lucius Fox is a young man in his early twenties or something. He helps Bruce perfecting some of his gadgets.
There's a serial killer roaming the streets of Gotham known as Birthday Boy.
Harvey Bullock is a young, handsome, cop transferred to Gotham to investigate the muders of the Wayne's. He was previously in a cop TV show in L.A. or some place like that. He's pretty much the only cop not afraid to stand up against Gotham's underworld. Even Gordon is playing by their rules in the beginning of this story.
As far as I can tell, Bruce didn't receive much training before taking up the role of Batman.
Alfred is a major badass.
The ending of the story gives us a big clue as to who the next villain will be.
Barbara Gordon also plays a pretty big role in this.
Thanks. Gonna pick it up at some point. :)
And in other news,
Franken-Castle is the most ridiculously awesome thing, let alone Punisher story I've read in quite some time. It's so over the top I can't help but love it. :laugh:
Spoiler
And just before he became Franken-Castle, when Daken cut him to pieces, that was absolutely brutal.
Just finished issue #16 today.

...Martha's last name is Arkham. ;)
And Gary Frank's art works surprisingly well with Batman.
Edit: Just read DC's new
Batman and Robin series. It's certainly worth a read. The dynamic and interaction between Bruce and Damian is just great, as Bruce is trying to keep his son on the right path while they face of against Henri Ducard's son.
Finished all of Rick Remender's Punisher run, #1-21, Dark Wolverine #88-89 and Punisher: In the Blood #1-5.
Pretty much loved it all. Franken-Castle was the real highlight. It was this wonderful over the top story about Frank coming back to life and helping the monsters of the Marvel Universe, like the vampire Morbius. It was different, almost felt a little like Mike Mignola's Hellboy. And the run was capped off with a really great Jigsaw arc involving Microchip.

QuoteYesterday, Marvel revealed plans to finally release Daredevil: End of Days, from writers Brian Michael Bendis and David Mack, with Bill Sienkiewicz and Klaus Janson on art. The series takes place roughly 10 years in the future and The Marvel Universe is a very different place according to Bendis. "We get a glimpse of what the Marvel Universe could look like if everything goes to hell," he reveals. "Very specifically, how the world of Daredevil has changed...including Daredevil's very public murder." The reason for the delay of the book is simply down to the fact that those involved have been so busy with other projects.
"This is the quintessential Daredevil story," adds Sienkiewicz when asked about the significance of the series. "The way the future is being portrayed -- it's entirely of a piece. The city is its own character as well and everything about it has the Daredevil stamp all through it. It's very much its own thing and of its own world. The idea of actually going back and doing a mean-streets-Scorsese version of Daredevil with all the characters we know, love and loathe ups the excitement level as a fan."
So, if Daredevil is dead, just whose point of view will this story be told from? The answer is Ben Urich, as he tells his final story for the Daily Bugle. However, he won't be the only well-known character who turns up. "One of the panels that made me most excited was Klaus and Bill's panel of old Nick Fury," says Bendis. "If you want to see Elektra violent soccer mom, this is the book..." Fans should also expect to see appearences from The Punisher, Kingpin and Bluuseye. "You see who did it," the writer adds. "You see who did it and how they did it."
To be honest, this sounds like it could be good.
That cover of Daredevil looks interesting.
I just picked up Gotham City Sirens vol 2 and 3. Cant wait to read them,vol 1 was so much fun.

I'm so excite for tomorrow! In the meantime have some spectacular Compendium Two news:
QuoteThe Walking Dead Compendium, Volume Two was announced today by USA Today, as follows:
Due out October 3rd from Image Comics' Skybound imprint, The Walking Dead, Compendium Two collects the second eight trade-paperback volumes of writer Robert Kirkman's award-winning survival horror series. For those who are coming to the comic from the popular AMC TV show or who are catching up from the first Compendium (which topped Amazon's list of top-selling graphic novels), the new 1,068-page book will cost fans $59.99 — a good deal since the single volumes retail for $14.99 each — and contain Issues #49-96 of the comic.
With a new cover by Walking Dead artists Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn, the second Compendium begins with Rick Grimes and his boy Carl coming to grips with a major change in their lives — as if the zombie apocalypse wasn't a big enough change — and features fan-favorite characters such as Michonne in stories that lead up to the current monthly storyline. (The landmark 100th issue comes out July 11.)
The monster compendium also happens to be Kirkman's favorite format for The Walking Dead. "It's just such a big, huge book that really offers a lot of bang for your buck," he says. "The idea of having Volume 1 and 2 sitting next to each other on a reinforced shelf really excites me. I'm thrilled that we finally have enough issues released to be able to produce Volume 2. Now I'm looking forward to four years of 'When does Volume 3 come out?'"

literally gets their heart ripped out?
Nope, that's not true.
Okay; that guy must have been telling lies in his review.
Lucille was also revealed in this issue.
As they promoted. I think she might be an ally to Rick's group and not some new enemy.
I don't think any of us quite expected what Kirkman made with Lucille.
Now you're just teasing me. Did you get any variant covers?
Eh, I didn't get it at all. :D
WTF man! You made me think that Lucille wasn't a person at all but some damn hurricane or military weapon :P

Finished reading
The Walking Dead #100 and I gotta say
Spoiler
I really hate Lucille for what she did.
Things have forever changed now, and I can't wait to see where Kirkman will take Rick and the group in the future. *cheers* for reaching 100 issues, and looking forward to reading 100 more!
P.S. I purchased the Chromium wrap-around, MacFarlane, Silvestri, and Ottley variant covers; all of which have been neatly placed in protective sleeves.
200 more, if kirkman has his way :P I remember him saying he has it planned up to 150, but would like to go up to 300. If he makes it that far, I'm going to need more shelf space. 300 issues is 50 TPBs :D
Or reach 380 issues so that it can be 8 Compendiums :)
Thinking about it, issue 100 is double length, isn't it? Now volume 17 is going to look out of place next to the others :P
Really can't wait to get caught up, though!
Yikes. I've only read five volumes of TWD so far. I decided I'd rather spend my money on Preacher for now.
I dont know if im ever gonna be able to catch up on TWD. I read and loved the first compendium, but comics are awfully expensive now...
Think I've read up the mid-60s of Walking Dead, and never spent a cent.
Libraries revived my interest in comics a couple of years ago.
TWD is the only comic I really read, and they only put out two volumes a year (and the sites I order from usually take about $5 off the cover price), so I only spend about $20 or so a year on it.
Your best value is to buy the compendiums. Look at this way: Each Volume cost around 15 dollars, 15 times 8 equals 120 dollars. Each compendium has 8 Volumes for half the price at 60 dollars; and you can purchase them on Amazon for $35. You spend 20$ a year for two volumes NA, where you could have bought the compendium for the same price and have eight volumes. Don't take my word for it; I prefer to buy the compendiums than the separate volumes.
Thing with the Compendiums is that it takes four years to release each one. I find it hard enough waiting six months between volumes :P And Barnes & Noble's website discounts them down to about $10, so $20 a year isn't too bad of a deal for me.
I was considering getting the Compendium or the Hardcovers when I first started reading the series (about a month after the first season ended) but the first TPB was the cheapest option, and I just find that format to be convenient. Not too big, and gives enough story to satisfy me but still leave me wanting more.
I can relate to you about that four year wait to release the compendiums. I received the first compendium as a Christmas gift in 2010, read the entire thing in one week. So what did I do? I rented the other volumes at my local library to get "caught up" after that, I started reading each monthly issue online (their's a Facebook page that has uploaded all 100 issues). If you want the link, i can give it to you :)
I gotta say, the Comixology app on the ipad is making my comic book reading life much easier. I find myself reading more individual issues as opposed to collections. Currently, I'm reading TWD, Saga and Before Watchmen (some of it, at least.)
Is Before Watchmen any good? I enjoyed the hell outta Watchmen, but i'm kind of 50/50 on reading this new series.
I wasn't a huge fan of Darwyn's stuff, but I like Straczynski's Night Owl story.

I've,been this planning since last year started to collect as much of "The Amazing Spider-Man" as I can.
Currently got 5. :P
Got some from 1990 and 1998 (Peter Parker spider-man tie-ins for the final chapter arc).
There's this really good silver-modern comic book store near me which is loaded with oldies so that's a good start.Currently bidding on #6 (Lizard 1st App) and #252 (Black suit 1st App) and then I'll join all the gaps in my collection.
Started reading " School of the Damned" Currently on it's 3rd issue.It's quite good. It's like a mix of X-men school students with classic movie monsters and putting them against Nazis in WWII.
2nd issue is way better and has more character that #1.

With a new cover by Walking Dead artists Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn, the second Compendium begins with Rick Grimes and his boy Carl coming to grips with a major change in their lives — as if the zombie apocalypse wasn't a big enough change — and features fan-favorite characters such as Michonne in stories that lead up to the current monthly storyline. (The landmark 100th issue comes out July 11.)
The monster compendium also happens to be Kirkman's favorite format for The Walking Dead. "It's just such a big, huge book that really offers a lot of bang for your buck," he says. "The idea of having Volume 1 and 2 sitting next to each other on a reinforced shelf really excites me. I'm thrilled that we finally have enough issues released to be able to produce Volume 2. Now I'm looking forward to four years of 'When does Volume 3 come out?'"

I just finished
Batman: Earth One. It was a rather quick but satisfying read. Bruce Wayne is rather inexperienced at being the Batman. And Alfred is trying to stop Bruce from pursuing this false crusade. Meanwhile Gordon gets a new partner; Harvey Bullock. I started out not liking Bullock but as the book went on, I warmed up to the character. It wasn't until he seen the real Gotham, it all became clear to him.
And 'dat ending.
Spoiler
Riddler! ;D
Laufey
Spoiler
Was the Two-Face reference when Bruce punched him in the face? :D
Yup, that was it. ;D
I really liked Bullock, he had a strong sense of right and wrong, even though he was mostly there to put on a good show. He had some really good character development throughout the story. And I'm not just saying this because you're watching Supernatural, but I kept thinking of Jensen Ackles every time he let go of one of those shit eating grins.
And in Gotham, there's no good cop/bad cop.

That's an interesting comparison now that you mention it. :laugh:
Spoiler
And how about Alfred blowing away Cobblepot with a shotgun? Looks like Alfred doesn't believe in "no killing" like Bruce does.
Spoiler
He's a soldier, so I wouldn't expect him to. Especially since he kept telling Bruce to use real guns instead of gadgets.
I also found the whole Arkham angle very interesting. Don't know if Martha had anything to do with them in the regular continuity.
That's true. Alfred was a badass in this.

from Batgirl, year one.
The artwork is f**king gorgeous and the writing is allways on point.
it's a solid book that chronicles her rise to the ranks of the batfamily in a really fun way. The main villains in this book are Killer Moth (a pathetic, rich villain) and Firefly (a murderous, truly scary pyromaniac) and they provide the right balance of fun and scares to the book. Batgirl isnt really inspired by Batman to delve into vigilantism. Her personal hero is actually Black Canary and she only dons the bat costume to annoy her father, Commissioner Gordon, at a masquerade party. There are nods to the far reaching DC comics universe with appearances from Dr. Fate to Green Arrow and there are a few nods to the tragic event that occurs in Alan Moore's the Killing Joke and to the persona she adopts after that event. Actually, if you read this and then go into the Killing Joke.. you are going to have your heart broken..
So if you are interested in barbara Gordon's journey as batgirl.. start here.. then go into the Killing Joke.. .then go straight into Gail Simone's run on the New 52 Batgirl, wich reinvents what happened after the Alan Moore book.
all of these are recommended ;)
That looks great. I'm gonna give it a try. :)
Just ordered Batman: Knightfall Volume 2: Knightsquest, Batman: Prey and Batman: Birth Of The Demon.
Still havn't got around to reading Volume 1 of Knightfall so I'm gonna start right now. I did get about 100 pages in and then I havnt read it for a few months so I'd rather start again as I've forgotten most of what's happened so far.
Quote from: Keg on Jul 24, 2012, 10:57:58 PM
Batman: Prey
I was actually thinking about getting that today when I picked up
Batman: Earth One. Looks like a pretty good Hugo Stange storyline and I haven't read much Strange.
Quote from: Keg on Jul 24, 2012, 10:57:58 PM
Batman: Birth Of The Demon.
Excellent choice! Damian Wayne's life begins here. ;D
Keg -- have you read No Man's Land yet?
The Dark Knight Rises took some inspiration from it.
Spoiler
With Gotham being cut off from the rest of world. But in this case it's not an Earthquake (No Man's Land) but rather Bane's thugs.
Not yet. Its in quite a few volumes and its a hefty read If im not mistaken so I was going to wait until after I'd finished with Knightfall. I've done quite alot of research regarding Batman (as its the first time Ive started to read alot of comics or graphic novels) and I am familiar with the basic premise of No Man's Land and it did cross my mind when watching TDKR. There's also a few references to it in Batman: Arkham City with the collapsed highways and whatnot.
Prey sounds really interesting and apparently it's quite an early story from the Year One time period and I havn't read anything with Hugo Strange yet so I'm looking forward to that.
Birth Of The Demon sounds pretty good as it collects 3 stories (including Damian Wayne and Ra's origins).
OH SHIIIIT!

I want to read that but I can't find it cheap anywhere. Also the Harley Quinn origin story (not the comic version of BATMAN: TAS) written for the comics is rare and extremely expensive and I want to read that just because I love the character.
It seems like the Batgirl story is unfortunately out of print.
Oh I also want to read about Jean Pauls (Azreal) first appearance if its available in any collected works or graphic novels. He just suddenly appears in Knightfall and its seems like im missing out on some backstory there. If theres any book which includes his first appearance can anybody tell me? I dont think there is other than looking for copies of the individual comics which I don't really want to do.

Currently reading Knightfall. Pretty good stuff, though sometimes a bit over the top. I love how Batman refuses to scream NOOOOOOOO in the cliffhanger panels and prefers to yell NYAAAARRRRRRHHH
Just read Silk Spectre #2 and Comedian #2 which were pretty good. Spectre #2 followed Laurie's adventures living with friends in San Francisco whilst trying to stop a drug peddler.
And Comedian #2 just started to show us Eddie's tour in Vietnam.
I also picked up Daredevil Volume One TPB by Mark Waid. ;D
Is that the most recent Daredevil run?
Yes. And it's really worth checking out if you haven't read some of it already. :)
I've read some of the first issues. I like how it's a bit more lighthearted and the art is looking really fine.

Yup -- the art really pops off the page.
I'm thinking about checking out some Guardians of the Galaxy material, anyone know anything good to read?
Just start with the first volume from 2008 and go from there. :)
Okay Laufey – I read it. I read Superman Earth One, and for the most part enjoyed it. I think my favorite parts were when Clark would be talking with Jonathan Kent, and also when he visited his grave to talk to him. Not sure how I feel about the villain though. He looked like he belonged to KISS. But I did like how Clark was holding back to become Superman until Metropolis really needed him. Still, I think I prefer Batman Earth One – but I am definitely gonna check out Volume Two of this when it hits the shelves. :)
Yeah, that villain looked mighty silly. A bit of David Bowie to his looks. :laugh:
Did you notice who Lois looked like? ;)

You don't watch the show enough!
Therein lays my flaw.
We won't judge you too hard for it.
What did you think of the art? It took me a while to get used to and I'm still not really in love with it. I can accept it, but it would have been better with someone like Gary Frank in charge of that area.
Yeah, I didn't mind the art but I wouldn't call myself a fan of it. Some of those panels were amazing to look at. But to me at least, it didn't feel like a right fit for Superman. Gary Frank would have been amazing like you mentioned. At least we got him for Batman.
Him and Geoff Johns also did Superman: Secret Origin together. Have you read that one?
Quote from: Laufey on Jul 27, 2012, 12:19:22 AM

I've been entertaining the idea of picking that up along with Superman: Brainiac.
Those two I would definitely recommend. Secret Origin is my favorite origin take on Superman, even more so than Birthright. And Brainiac just presents a really interesting take on a familiar character.
Have you read Birthright by the way? ;D
I have not. Worth reading it take it? (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/Smileys/default/laugh.gif)
One of the best Superman stories out there, to say the least.

It also have the happiest/saddest ending to a comic book I've ever read.
Sweet. I think I am about to embark on a Superman kick. By the way have you read New Krypton? That's another one I have an interest in.
Yeah, it offers a very nice insight into Kryptonian culture and really creates a interesting and multi-layered character out of Zod. Cavill read it as preparation for Man of Steel, I think.
If you want another great Superman story to read, try Last Son. It's written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner, and shows Superman's "first" (at least in this continuity) encounter with Zod. It also have some heavy ties to the New Krypton saga, which in turn is a sequel to Brainiac and as such Secret Origin.
Secret Origin
Last Son
Brainiac
New Krypton
That would probably be the best way to read them.
Thank you kind sir. I shall embark on Kal-El's exploits as soon as possible. :)
Good.
Luther is really awesome in Last Son, by the way.
Just read Wolverine Goes To Hell. Kinda meh.
I'm in a Batman mood, and reading TDKR at the moment. Aside from the occasionally political crap and the overly 80s look of certain elements (Devo gangbangers lol), it's a great story. I also picked up TWD volumes 6, 7, and 8. Really looking forward to starting them. :)
Have you read Batman Earth One yet? It's really good and worth checking out. :)

I saw Batman: Earth One at my library store, is it worth reading? Does it meet the scale of awesome like Year One, and The Long Halloween?

Well it's not even close to Year One or Long Halloween, those are classics. But it's not bad. It's actually a surprisingly unique take on the origin story, while still retaining the key elements. I would've prefered another villain or two, but that's just a minor gripe of mine
Dc decided to hold back Batman Inc. #3 this week ALL the way to the end of August because of the shooting. I really hope they don't let things get over their heads and put all of Batman's stories on hold. Having to wait 2 months between Batman Inc #2 and #3 is bad enough...

Before Watchmen is not canon so says Dave Gibbons.
AS IT SHOULD BE
Couldn't really care what he thinks. I am enjoying it so far, so it's canon to me.

BLeAGrgH!
Why should I listen to him or even Alan Moore who bitch about the state of comics today and then tell people what they should and shouldn't enjoy?
I guess The Empire Strikes Back isn't canon because it isn't directed by George Lucas...
This is why "canon" debates are so silly. Not everyone is going to agree, and it comes down to personal preference anyways.
Well said FB. Anyway, I am on the stance of never reading these stories. These are stories that I believe have wanted to be told for a long time, but I really don't fine them necessary. I'll keep my distance from these because I see no reason to read them other than to ruin what I already have in my mind. If they are good, then awesome, it's not for nothing then, but I'll just stay away.
And I respect that, because it's your choice. When "canon" gets thrown into the mix – it's forcing someone to accept what is or what isn't. Hence, why it's so damn easier to make your own mind up about things.
That damn Rorschach cover was so f**king close to pulling me in.

Silly comparison - Lucas created Empire Strikes Back even if he didn't direct it. Gibbons and Moore created Watchmen, so ultimately they'd be the top of the tree for mine.
All that said - it's a comic book. Backstories and timelines change all that time.
Moore have played around with a lot of things he didn't create himself though, so I don't think he's in any position to judge anyone when it comes to this.
Batwoman #11 slightly let me down:
Spoiler
Bette Kane had been in coma for quite a few issues already.. and she wakes up as soon as Colonel Kane puts a mask over her face, signifying that being a superhero is the one desire that makes her hold onto her life. It just felt like too much of a fairy tale ending for that particular subplot... and should've been better handled.
Other than that... it's still one of the best books out there, at the moment.. and it still deserves a read. Issue 11 ends on one hell of a cliffhanger... and actually ups the ante for the next story arc. (wich was considerably high already.) It's also one of the most ambitious comics out there and isnt afraid to do experimental stuff with it's storyline.
OH SHIT!

Everything you think you know about DC.
Anything you thought was important in their universe is babytown frolics compared to the shit that goes on in Books of Magic. Superman? Batman? they become unimportant specs when brought into the scale of this epic.

Ah its OK. Better then the X Men Vs Avengers crap.
I just finished the first forty issues or so of
Ultimate Spider-Man, which I had begun to read a few weeks back and for the most part enjoyed it. I was surprised at how many elements were pulled from this and put into
The Amazing Spider-Man film. I was also quite fond of how they chose to portray The Green Goblin
Spoiler
With it being an injection which literally turns Norman into a Goblin.
It was also pretty interesting to see different takes on certain characters like Kraven the Hunter who's this big reality tv star that hunts game. All in all, it was a pretty solid re-interpretation of the Spider-Man mythos. :)

And I just started to get into
Secret Warriors (2009) by Jonathan Hickman, Brain Michael Bendis and various others. Nick Fury living in secrecy and no longer leader of SHIELD. So he puts together a taskforce of young folks with powers – and it's going on during the Skrull infiltration (before Secret Invasion). He's trying to find out who he can trust in the Marvel Universe. A pretty solid first couple of issues. Then once Secret Invasion is over, they set the stage with something that involves Baron Von Strucker. I have a feeling I am going to love this.

Awesome
Needs more work on squeezing the boobs out for no discrenable reason.
I just finished reading
Batman & Robin – Born to Kill by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason. This was good; very good. I wouldn't say it was
Court of Owls good, but it was still very enjoyable. It was interesting seeing the uneasy relationship between Batman & Robin, but even more so between Bruce and Damian. As they're both trying to figure each other out. Damien is violent and he's willing to cross that line to kill. Bruce is trying to stop that and repress Damian's rage. Whilst all this is going on, an assassin comes to Gotham. Morgan Ducard, the son of Henri Ducard. He's trying to manipulate Damian into joining him and crossing that line. I really loved the backstory of his character, not to mention Bruce's when he was being trained by Henri Ducard.
And I think I am going to give
Batman - Faces of Death a shot while I wait for those
Superman books to arrive.
Oh and
Secret Warriors is kicking my ass. It's awesome.

I think she should have lost the lip ring for the shoot,its kinda distracting for me. Otherwise its a good recreation.
Just read Batman: Detective Comics - Faces of Death by Tony S. Daniel. It was pretty decent. I love Daniel's art so I didn't have any issues there. Basically Batman's trying to track down a killer called The Dollmaker who steals people's organs and skin. It gets a little weird and eventually leads to The Penguin. There's a big showdown in the Ice Berg Casino which was pretty satisfying. I wouldn't say it was good as Court of Owls or Born to Kill though.
The new Thor series seems very promising.

Quote"I do flash back and show a young Thor in action, but he's actually just one of three Thors that I want to focus on. This first story is an epic tale that plays out over the course of thousands of years. So we spend time with young Thor in the Viking age — the young, hotheaded god of the Vikings, who loves to come down to Midgard and get into trouble. In the present, we see Thor the Avenger on a journey that takes him to the far corners of space, interacting with all sorts of new space gods and wondrous new locations. And then we also see old King Thor, who's the last king of Asgard, thousands of years in the future, where something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. Linking all these eras and Thors together is one villain, an all-new character [Gorr, the God Butcher], who is basically, at least initially, a serial killer of gods. He's a guy with a serious axe to grind against all immortal beings in the cosmos, and he's going around doing his best to kill them all off, one at a time, as brutally as possible. That villain's story unfolds over the course of all these different eras. He starts as a serial killer of gods, but by the end, he has become something even more frightening."
I'm a fan of Aaron's work on both Ghost Rider and Wolverine, so I will definitely be picking this up.
Wonder if this will be any good. Thor fans are savagely pissed off at the writing lately. f**king Bendis needs to be shot and X Men Vs Avengers needs to be erased from my memory.
Thanks for posting this though.

JMS and Gillians run was really well done. Michael Oeming was also really great.
I just read the first issue of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. This was definitely a darker and more twisted Wade than I'm used to. Well done, with some decent artwork. I might just be an interesting story Marvel got here.
Recently read a comic called Witch Doctor. Rather enjoyed the way it presented what we know as demons as strains of supernatural diseases
Yeah, Witch Doctor is pretty awesome. :)
So I guess my GotG Volume 3 shipped today. Rereading the first two volumes over the next couple days just to catch myself up a bit, since I forgot some of the details (especially with all the crazy stuff that went down in Volume 2 with Phyla-Vell).
Did they reveal what's inside that cocoon yet?
No, but I know who that is already, I think.
Spoiler
Thanos, right?
You assume correctly. ;D
Spoiler
In which case, I'm very excited to see how it all leads up to (and concludes) in The Thanos Imperative. ;D
Lauf, have you read any of the other modern cosmic books, or just the ones that I'm catching up on? I know the
Annihilation stories sound interesting (and they're pre-GotG), and then there's the
Nova series and the
War of Kings and
Realm of Kings that GotG ties into...
I have read some of the Nova comics, but it's been a while. And that's more or less it. The next one I'm going to read is Annihilators, which kinda works as a sequel to The Thanos Imperative.
Ahh, cool. Let me know how it is once you give it a go :)
Laufey – you magnificent bastard! I read your book!

I just finished reading
Superman: Action Comics – Supermen and the Men of Steel by Grant Morrison, Rags Morales and Andy Kubert. Went down to my LCS and was able tp pick it up a day early. I loved it, absolutely
loved it; finished it in one sitting. It has to be my favorite DC New 52 book next to
Court of Owls now. Hell, I like it even more than the other DC 52 book,
Superman which I pick up monthly.
Basically, Clark is still trying to find his place in the world, and to some extent Metropolis. Grant Morrison really tapped into some great mythology here. I loved the issue
Rocket Son, which was an origin issue of sorts. There were some great moments on Krypton with Kal-El's parents. Not to mention some fantastic art courtesy of Andy Kubert in that issue. As for the main story itself, that was great. Brainiac was very creepy. Is that what I have to look forward to in
Superman: Brainiac? Because that was some far out stuff and I loved it. And I loved those two back-up
Steel stories. :)
Great way to kick off my Superman reading. f**k.
I'm glad you liked it. I don't remember much of it myself, but I'm gonna pick up the collection once it's released as well.
Tony Moore is at it again....
Quote
Roughly six months after suing former collaborator (and childhood friend) Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore is now approaching a federal court in hopes of legally declaring himself a co-author of "The Walking Dead", a comic book series that has blossomed into a wildly successful franchise since its 2003 debut. In addition to "The Walking Dead" co-authorship, Moore is also looking to be compensated for several other comic-book properties that he worked on with Kirkman, including "Battle Pope," "Brit" and two other potential comic book series titled "Dead Planet" and "My Name Is Abraham."
Tony Moore was partnered with Robert Kirkman as the creative team behind "The Walking Dead" when it first launched in 2003, illustrating the first six issues of the black-and-white horror series. When he filed his lawsuit back in February, Moore had claimed that Kirkman fraudulently convinced him to sign away his copyright interests for "The Walking Dead", "Brit" and "Battle Pope", which allowed Kirkman to move forward on The Walking Dead television series without having to give up royalties for the future project. Stated in the lawsuit filed by Moore, the illustrator claims that he "has not received the proper amount of royalties owed to him," up to this point. As it stands now, Moore receives 60% of "comic publishing net proceeds", 20% of "motion picture net proceeds" for both "The Walking Dead" and "Brit" and 50% of the "motion picture net proceeds" from "Battle Pope." Kirkman claims that Moore only has the rights to claim ownership as an artist (ie, "penciler, inker and gray tones").
With the illustrator's latest legal move against Robert Kirkman, Moore claims that "Kirkman is a proud liar and fraudster who freely admits that he has no qualms about misrepresenting material facts in order to consummate business transactions, and it is precisely that illicit conduct which led to the present lawsuit (and to Kirkman's business 'success' generally)." The new federal court filing even claims that Moore had his co-copyright credits from the original proof drawing removed from the pages prior to the release of the first issue and that he wasn't made aware of the omission until 2005.
Moore is currently requesting that a jury trial should be responsible for deciding his case, one that fans and industry folks will be paying close attention to for sure.

Jesus Christ Moore, I f**king love you man, I really do, but this shit is pathetic.
If he signed away his f**king rights, he signed away his rights.
QuoteMoore had claimed that Kirkman fraudulently convinced him to sign away his copyright interests
Now how the hell does that even happen? Fraudulently convinced him? What the f**k does that mean? Was he tricked?
I'm sure it's possible. If it wasn't I guess he wouldn't be taking it to court.

Just read Batman #12. As the Owl storyline has been concluded, this issue starts of a new story, where Batman gets some help from a young woman, somewhat reminiscent of Rooney Mara's Salander. This is a promising start indeed. :)
Snyder created that character after he was denied use of Cassandra Cain aka Black Bat (ex-Batgirl) ..that might be a hint of what he's planning to do with her.... another sidekick? that was a cool start for the character btw. :)
in other news Lady Shiva is going to appear in the Nightwing comic book.. and the character appears to be too young to be Cassandra Cain's mother... so Cassandra Cain has been officially "erased" from existance in the New 52 reboot.... lame, very lame :P
Interesting. It's obvious that she's eager to help, whether Batman wants it or not. I haven't really read anything with Cassandra Cain however.
She had her own Batgirl comic book wich was quite successful at the time..
heard very good things about that particular run but i havent checked it out yet. :P
nowadays it's a bit hard to find, even on piratebay . blah :P
I just read Kick-Ass 2. It's very twisted and brutal, but in the end it just felt too forced.
Edit: Superman, Supergirl and Superboy are going up against a new Kryptonian villain called H'el. It looks like he could be DC's new take on Bizarro.

And speaking of Superman, my books arrived and I am not sure which one I'd like to read first, Secret Origin or Birthright. :D

I would go with Birthright. Since Secret Origin is more or less tied directly to the rest you ordered, it would be better to read them all together. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. The ending to Birthright is the only comic book that ever had me that close to tears.
Alright sounds like a plan, seeing as the rest are Geoff Johns material. :)
Have you read it yet? Have you read it yet? Have you read it yet? Have you read it yet?
I just read Fear Itself: Dracula. The vampire community certainly is an interesting part of the Marvel universe. I'm gonna read X-Men: Curse of the Mutants next, which if I got it right continues from where The Death of Dracula ended.

Not yet man. Just gotta find the time. ;)
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe #2 was just as good as the first one, with Deadpool finding more clever ways of taking out every hero of the Marvel universe. I think Spider-Man went down a bit too easy however. The way he took care of Thor was pretty clever though.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see that there's a new issue coming out every week.
Might have to check that out. Ozymandias #2 and it was great. It's still one of my favorite Before Watchmen books out there. The art is pretty stunning. This time Veidt is tracking a shipment of drugs that killed his girlfriend Miranda. And he all leads to a confrontation with The Comedian which is set up next issue.
I also can't wait to get my hands on Rorschach #1 on Wednesday.
Yup, the new Oz was great. And I'm really looking forward to Rorschach #1 myself. What we've seen of him in the Nite Owl story have been good so far as well.

This is indeed dark news. Cass Cain is my favorite female DC character, and to just erase her like this is crap.
Also Scott Snyder is doing wonders foe DC with his excellent run on Batman. He is writing their number one selling comic. Why would they deny him
any character?
Yes it is true that Cassandra Cain is not as popular as Barbara, but she did have her own solo series, and she does have her fans. So does Stephanie Brown for that matter but she seems to have been erased too. :(
They claim to have "reset" the continuity... but they kept all of the robins... and only one of the batgirls :P
Surely there was space for those two characters! :-\
Read the Stephanie Brown run and loved those damn volumes... Grant Morrison did well enough with Steph's last published adventure...
yet to read the Cassandra Cain run but i keep hearing lots of good stuff about it.

Only four translated books but I adore this series, the art is very simple almost doodle like. It somehow brings this funny story together. It's about a cat that runs a ramen shop and the only customer he gets is this one human who tends to put up with how awful or bizarre the ramen is.

Edit: I also have a question for the comic book readers here. If you could "ship" two characters from a comic book, who would they be? For example, for some reason I kinda liked the flirting that was going on between Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel a while back. Would have been fun if they explored that some more.

I am not sure what you mean. Ship?
As in putting together in a relationship.
I have read too much fanfiction. :-[
Oooooh, okay. I see now. :laugh:
I always wanted to see Bruce Wayne & Selina Kyle have a relationship. There's always this sexual tension around them, and it would be interesting seeing how compatible they really are.
Haven't they been dating several times in the comics?
One relationship that surprised me and I never saw coming was Ben Grimm and Sue Storm in the Ultimate comics. That was handled really well and was actually kind of sweet.

I don't know much about this Marvel Now thing they have going on, but they seem to have some cool characters that they're going to be doing (Thor and Star-Lord, for example). While I'm not sure I'm ever going to get around to reading any of these, I'm interested in seeing what Marvel does.
I don't really know what it's all about either, it seems like they're almost pulling a DC and are relaunching some of their titles. But the creative team on Thor got me excited at least.

I was actually thinking about this today -- I'd like to see the Frank Castle have relationship with someone. He's a loner by nature. But I really can't remember any relationship's has had with any characters since Maria died. Ennis did entertain the idea a little in
Widowmaker when he was saved by a mafia wife, but that's as far as it went. Also, they could explore how she can hummanize Castle, and show him that he can still find happiness in the world.
He did have O'Brien, but I wouldn't really call that a solid relationship.

She was in several of the MAX books, starting with the very first one, as well as the one where the mobsters dug up the graves of Frank's family.

She even had a baby with him.
I take back everything I said. Cleary I am losing my mind if I can't remember stuff that goes on in Punisher Max. :-[

Read about half of the The Avengers (Marvel Masterwork) which is the first 10 issues of The Avengers. Got boring after a few issues. It's interesting to read some of these old comics, but I don't find them terribly entertaining.

I just started reading the Thor comics from the very beginning, so I know that feel. I just read a few issues each time, because the stories are so short and not that interesting. Still kinda fun however, so I will press on.

Felt kind of the same reading those old Hulk comics from the book I bought. Interesting stuff, and great to see the character's foundations, but a bit simplistic and by the numbers.
Is The Infinity Gauntlet like that? Because with all the cosmic stuff I've been reading, I've been kind of wanting to go back to the roots.
I haven't read Infinity Gauntlet but it was written in '91. The books matured since they're simplistic stories from the 60s. And it was written by Jim Starlin, who's like "The God" of Cosmic Marvel.
*cough* Read Dreadstar! *cough*
Seriously, nobody reads Locke and Key?
I am halfway through
Birthright and loving it. That shot of Clark flying over the Zebras in Africa was amazing.
Spoiler
I just finished the part in which he tried to save a bridge from collapsing. But he grew weak, because Luthor put Kryptonite there. And the part when he shot the gun at the arms dealer and caught the bullet before it hit him was one of the coolest "Superman" moments I've seen. 8)

Yup, that's my favorite Lex, along with the ones from All-Star and Last Son.

Yeah, I feel the movies didn't capture or even use his genius intellect well enough.
Superman Returns came pretty close, but it could have been so much more. Hopefully if there's a
Man of Steel sequel and they do plan to use Luthor, they make him more an intellectual villain.
Although -- I wouldn't mind seeing him suit up in his armor and throwing down with Supes. 8)
Edit: Finished
Birthright. Wow, what an incredible Superman story.
'Dat ending.
"Mother...Father...I made it." :'(
Yup, one of the best endings I've ever read. :'(

Whilst I am enjoying it immensely so far, how did you feel about the Legion of Superheroes appearance? I felt it was a little out of place in the book, to be honest. :-\
I never felt that out of place to me, but that might be because it ties into one of Geoff John's and Gary Frank's other stories, one that I forgot to mention last time.

I had already read that when I started with Secret Origin, so I guess I was used to seeing them around.
Ah, I see. Yeah, I just felt it was a little out of place, with the time travel and all.
Guess I have to check that book out.

I just read the first issue of Creep, a new Dark Horse comic where a private detective (who's suffering from acromegaly) is looking into the suicide of his old high school flame's teenage son. Pretty decent so far.
Well, I finished Secret Origin and just about loved it. Gary Frank's art was/is superb and it felt like I was seeing Christopher Reeve in character again, and that felt really special. I also loved Johns' interpretation of Metallo. Especially towards the end. There's also some great character moments in this, one in particular with Clark and Johnathan.
"I don't want to be different. I want to be Clark Kent. I want to be your son."
"Clark...you are my son."

On to Last Son now.
Secret Origin was too cheesy in my opinion (and yeah, that Legion of Superheroes thing didn't make sense), I still prefer Birthright :P

Just finished
Superman: Last Son and thought it was great. A Kryptonian child crash lands on Earth and he comes under the protection of Superman, who in turn adopts him. General Zod comes to Earth to try and get the boy. I won't reveal the significance behind why Zod wants him but it's pretty interesting. I really loved the art in this. Andy's pencils were pretty damn good. And the moments when Superman would confide with the hologram of his father at the Fortress of Solitude were moments I really enjoyed. Also when Superman was trapped in the Phantom Zone. The Phantom Zone is something I've never read seen much of, so this was a great eye-opening look at what it's like to be trapped there. Lex Luthor is great as always. The guy literally steals panels and pages because he's so incredibly written.
And I also just read
Rorschach #1 which I really enjoyed. The plot was pretty straight forward. Rorschach is trying to track down smack, and the dealer who peddles it. That leads him to the sewers under New York. And that's about as simple as it gets really. But Lee Bermejo's pencils fit the character perfectly. They set the mood perfectly. Even in the opening pages, I loved that seedy look that the streets of New York had to them. My new favorite
Before Watchmen book next to
Ozymandias and
Night Owl at the moment.
I just read Walking Dead 101. It's pretty good. Lots of punching for an issue largely devoid of action.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your Superman experience so far,

Mr. Bones in a hawaian tshirt. Kate Kane meets Wonder Woman in a scene out of the best bond flick that never was. Amazing art and the writing is complex with interesting characters and etc... this series is feeling novelistic in it's approach... Kate Kane is still on the same case as issue #1... this is one long epic saga and your right there with the characters in the thick of it.
Okay...I just read one of the newer Batman comics, and can anyone tell m why the Joker just let doll maker cut his face off? What, is he a Sado-masochist now? That was some weird shit.
^It could be so that he can now have any face he wants and better blend in with the random people. His old face was so recognizable, having green hair and bone white skin and all.
Also does anyone else ship Batman/Wonder Woman from the DCAU Justice League cartoon? Their relationship would never work int the comics, but it does seem plausible in the DCAU cartoon universe.
I just read Before Watchmen: Rorschach #1. It was pretty solid, but I think I prefer the Nite Owl and Ozymandias titles. The artwork is done by Lee Bermejo, so you know what to expect. I'm not the biggest fan of his style myself.
I'm three issues into the third volume of Guardians of the Galaxy and am having an absolute blast. At first I thought some story elements would be lost on me by not reading War of Kings, but so far so good. Its really sucking me in, and I think so far has been the best the series has had to offer (which says a lot, considering how good the first two volumes were). I'm really interested in seeing what they do with Phyla-Vell in her new state.
It's great, ain't it? And it's the MCU movie that have me the most excited right now. ;D

Just finished Superman: Last Son and thought it was great. A Kryptonian child crash lands on Earth and he comes under the protection of Superman, who in turn adopts him. General Zod comes to Earth to try and get the boy. I won't reveal the significance behind why Zod wants him but it's pretty interesting. I really loved the art in this. Andy's pencils were pretty damn good. And the moments when Superman would confide with the hologram of his father at the Fortress of Solitude were moments I really enjoyed. Also when Superman was trapped in the Phantom Zone. The Phantom Zone is something I've never read seen much of, so this was a great eye-opening look at what it's like to be trapped there. Lex Luthor is great as always. The guy literally steals panels and pages because he's so incredibly written.
And I also just read Rorschach #1 which I really enjoyed. The plot was pretty straight forward. Rorschach is trying to track down smack, and the dealer who peddles it. That leads him to the sewers under New York. And that's about as simple as it gets really. But Lee Bermejo's pencils fit the character perfectly. They set the mood perfectly. Even in the opening pages, I loved that seedy look that the streets of New York had to them. My new favorite Before Watchmen book next to Ozymandias and Night Owl at the moment.

He didn't. He basically fills in the movie the role the Frogs (kind of human/giant frog hybrid) in the comics.
So I just finished up all of
Guardians of the Galaxy: War of Kings Book 2 (volume 3, issues 13-19) and wow, that was absolutely amazing. I especially loved the

time travel elements, and seeing the new and old Guardians interacting together was an absolute blast! The revelation behind Groot's catchphrase was a ton of fun, the inclusion of the Inhumans made for some genuinely awesome moments, and the whole War of the Worlds scenario was a lot of fun.
And then, there's all of the stuff that went down at the ending. So many characters were brutally murdered by Magus, and I was genuinely shocked by all of them. And something is telling me that a lot of these death (if not all) are going to be permanent.
The ending was absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to get started on volume four,

Have anyone checked out Marvel's Season One novels? They're supposed to be updated origin stories for some of the characters. I just read Hulk and X-Men myself and they were both pretty good.
Season one is just dumb as shit. Why can't they just re-release the first issues that each character appeared in? I just don't like these season one comics, it makes no sense to me and just completely feels to me like it shits on the people that worked on the first issue for each of these characters years back.
It's really not the same thing. Those issues were usually really short and didn't tell much of a complete story. And they do feel pretty dated, to be honest. They have their own kind of charm, but I really don't see what's wrong with updating it a bit. If anyone want to check out those original issues, they're out there as well.
Yeah, they're out there which makes these season one issues look pointless other than being some sort of pseudo reboot. The idea of this just doesn't fly well for me.
One the readers in general don't seem to mind. And new readers are less likely to pick up a comic book from the 60's, so it's good business. And how many times haven't the character origins been updated over the years anyway? It's not out of disrespect for the original writers.

Re-releasing the old issues pretty much does the same exact thing.
Except for the "less likely to pick up a comic book from the 60's". And I have read some of the old issues as well before reading these. It's just not the same.
Which Season One's have you read?
But it pretty much covers what these season one comics are doing, showing the origins of the characters. That's the basic idea, and re-releasing the old issues covers that.
The thing is, their age shows pretty well and the Season One volumes are to get new readers interested in these characters. I can't imagine many people today being too excited if they picked up the original issues. The Season One volumes does a good job of telling more or less the same story, but doing it for today's readers. The original issues would not accomplish the same thing.
Today's readers should already know the basic story. Hell back in the 90s when I didn't even read any comic books at all, I already knew what the basic origins for these characters were, once I read few of the first issue origins stories I had a much clearer view of how these characters came into being.
I've never heard of season one, but I did read a retelling of the Fantastic Four's origin called "First Family" once and that was pretty good,
Season 1 is pretty much a pseudo reboot.
Quote from: ShadowPred on Aug 17, 2012, 06:46:19 PMToday's readers should already know the basic story.
Why? These characters aren't Superman, where pretty much everyone know who he is and where he come from. If this is a first time reader, you can't simply assume that he or she is gonna be up to date on the backstory.

There is no way that a first time reader is not going to know anything about these characters. No one is simply going to go through their life not hearing about let's say Spider-Man, and not know how he got his powers, and simply walk up to a comic book store and go "Spider-Man? Who is this?" and then proceeds to pick up season 1 of Spider-Man.
Updating a characters origin for a newer audience can produce great things, e.g. Batman: Year One.

It can, but that's Year One as Batman. That story was never heard of before...Batman's first year, unlike what Marvel is doing which is basically trying to reboot without rebooting the characters.

It would be even less likely that they would pick up a collection of the original issues. Yes, Spider-Man is a well known character, but take Ant-Man for example. Or Doctor Strange. That's where these volumes come in handy. Even Fantastic Four and Daredevil aren't that well known compared to Spider-Man. Many people would only know them from the movies and those are hardly a good example of the characters.
And it's not like these character doesn't benefit from an update. I'm gonna use Thor as an example, since I read the original comics a short while ago. The female characters for example was extremely outdated, as was the dialogue. That's not gonna bring many new readers. It's as simple as that.

It's not a reboot. These are contained stories and are not affecting the current storylines or anything like that.
Well I can agree with that first point Laufey, it's just that I can't see it being of any actual use when the old first issues tell the origin story that these season one comics are doing.
As to the second point, I know it's not a reboot which is why I have said things like "Pseudo reboot" and "reboot without rebooting the characters."
Fair enough. I wasn't really sure what you meant by pseudo reboot.
Well the word Pseudo means false/fake.
False/fake Reboot!
Mostly going for the meaning "fake" in my case.

Just wanted to add my two cents on the Season One thing...
I fail to see how they're screwing anything up or deemed as 'fake' It's perfectly fine for other writers to go back to the origins of characters and re-interpret them. It's not like these books are f**king up continuity in any way. Each is there own self contained book. Take for example Superman: Birthright and Superman: Secret Origin – two books I recently finished. Each tells the origin of Superman but in very different ways. Yes – Clark still crashes to Earth on a ship. So the core of the Superman origin is still there. But how Clark finds himself in the world, how he's perceived by others and what being a hero means to him is presented differently in each book. Each book told the Superman origin a bit differently (both didn't exist in the same continuity as well). And I didn't need to pick up an issue by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster to understand the character. Plus there's countless other examples of writers/artist re-interpreting origins of characters. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's Marvel color books (Daredevil: Yellow, Hulk: Grey etc.) are just a few examples.
Well, I just finished
Guardians of the Galaxy: Realm of Kings (and by extension, the entire series). Man was a truly great ride, and kept me captivated the entire way through. I was actually surprised at how dark the series had gotten towards the end, yet somehow the writers were still able to weave in their excellent comedy without diminishing the really powerful moments. This book served as a great conclusion, despite
Spoiler
killing off my favorite team member, Phyla-Vell (although she did go through a great character arc along the way). And I loved seeing the team reunite and take on Thanos; I truly thought they were dead the way the previous volume had ended. I really want to see more of Magus now...
Well, all I have to do now is wait for
The Thanos Imperative to arrive. If its anything like the this series, I should be in for a real treat. :)

Found out that The Walking Dead will have a 300 issue run. Scares me to know that I'll be near 50 years old when the series will end :o
I finished Superman: Brainiac and the first volume of New Krypton a few days ago. Both very good. Everything that's going on with Kandor -- I find fascinating. It was also great to see Supergirl reunited with her parents. :)
Yeah, that's some good stuff. What did you think of Brainiac himself?

Actually the first volume was kinda weird. The
New Krypton story didn't start until the middle of the book. The first half was Jimmy Olsen trying to track down Guardian for a story.
Yeah, there's some spin-off stories and such linked to the main story. Didn't really care for that part myself. At least it's not as bad as Marvel's big events where you have to track down ten issues with different characters each month just to understand what the hell is going on.

Plus they tend to be abysmal. AvX is effing
abysmal.
Yeah, I gave up after four issues. It was terrible. Just terrible.
I don't read a lot of comics, but from what I read online, a lot of their big events seem to be like that :-\ Too much interference on the stories from Marvel itself, I'm assuming?
I wouldn't say there's interference, but their events tend to be overbloated. And span multiple books. Like Laufey said, you have to track down a bunch of issues to find out what's going on.
Ahh, all right. I'm glad that kind of stuff stayed out of Marvel's cosmic stories, then. I was able to get into GotG just fine without reading Secret Invasion, War of Kings, or Realm of Kings. And from the looks of it, The Thanos Imperative is easy to jump into without having read any of the series it ties in to.
Yeah, The Thanos Imperative feels like a direct sequel to GotG.

While I'm usually okay with the idea of a Superman/Wonder Woman relationship, I just don't think this volume of Justice League is going to handle it very well.

With Spawn carving the skin off Chapel's face to resemble his face-paint.
I just read Avengers: The Children's Crusade.
It somewhat gives a closure to the Young Avengers storyline and it ties good with the Marvel Universe (the part with Iron Lad/ Kang the Conqueror is nice and believable).
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthequarterbin.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F155.jpg&hash=89df8de909107476c3229d953559e05faaf6de85)
The only bad thing was the X-Men characterization (Cyclops and Wolverine are plain radical psychopaths).
One thing I regret, though, is that Young Avengers never had a regular series, so even this might be the intended closure for the storyline, it falls flat since we had no much of a chance of building greater empathy with the characters and seeing them grow.
Just read Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan.
I think it's the best in the bunch. It feels the most organic of the ones I've read so far, exploring instead of expanding the canon.
Twitter fight is brewing between Rob Liefeld and Scott Snyder.. uh oh!
Snyder's comments do seem very EGO driven.
Quoterobertliefeld @robertliefeld
From Scott Snyder - I can assure you batman doesn't sell the way it does because it's Batman. It sells that way because of me and Greg.
Quoterobertliefeld @robertliefeld

Nice! Your Twitter feeds the best thing you've written all year :-) "@robertliefeld: Get over yourself you pretentious prick "
Wow... just wow.
It's happening right now: https://twitter.com/robertliefeld
This is amazing.
a real life soap opera. :laugh:
Liefeld does have quite a point to make though... Batman books sell well regardless of the creator behind it... Scott Snyder saying that his Batman book only sells well because of his work... that's kind of an EGOdriven thing to say... Snyder's Swamp Thing doesnt sell nearly as well as his Batman work.. because.. dun dun dun.. it's not Batman.. Swamp thing doesnt have nearly the same name recognition as Batman.
and that's regardless of the quality of the creator :P
that and apparently Snyder was being nice in public to Rob while spewing venom behind his back...
cant miss the next episode :laugh:
Yeah, I agree and it sucks lol. I can't stand Liefield but its a 100% valid point (dammit!).
I don't do the whole twitter thing, makes me wonder what the hell I have missed lol.
I find Twitter fun and useful to keep up with trends, news and the different viewpoints etc.. plus i have a few online pals who are already in there.. so it's just another way to keep up with them and vice versa.
plus STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS :laugh:
DC Reveals plans for another BEFORE WATCHMEN Prequel (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=66301#EGC0Dw3PPsBCSIHL.99)

:D
I dunno, I'll check it out. So far the event has been pretty good. Now that I've read all the character books so far, to me there doesn't seem to be any truly awful ones in the bunch. Some are better than others obviously.
I've never read/watched Watchmen, and haven't touched any of the Before Watchmen stuff, but I'm just kind of curious about something. Does Watchmen (and these prequels) connect at all to the DC universe? I'm sure if any connections it would probably be nothing more than subtle references, but there's probably nothing. Just curiosity on my part.
I do want to give it a read sooner or later, however.

There's no connections, really.
Figured as much. Just though I'd ask because I'm pretty sure I remember, from an old watchmen trailer, someone burning a Superman--esque suit at an anti superhero rally or something. Though that was probably more in the vein of the Superman reference in the first Spider-Man movie :P

Hrm.
No, there's no connection. But now with the New 52, and "Before Watchmen" record sales, I guess it's only matter of a couple years to have an "After Watchmen" line. I'd be more interested in reading an After Watchmen than a Before.

Well, I wouldn't blame you for being serious, the characters in the Justice League book aren't nearly as well done as the characters in the individual books, in my opinion.

I have to agree with you there. When I read the first Justice League volume, I complained about the characterizations. Green Lantern was the butt-end of all the jokes.
I am not sure if this version of Wonder Woman and Superman is going to last. We all know it won't and Clark will end up with Lois someday. This is going to end worse for Wonder Woman than Superman I think. Just a cash grab by DC it seems.

Yeah. There was one great panel, when some bystander says, from a really long way away, "Isn't that CAPTAIN AMERICA?" with his shield glinting in the sun. Nevermind Bucky was standing right next to him dressed as Captain America...
I know they did it a bit in the whole Civil War thing, but Caps death should've continued the discussion about 'terrorist or freedom fighter' and he should've stayed dead. Instead, after making such a big deal about him dying, they resort back to comic book hyper-super-dooper-technology to bring him back life.
The whole thing left me with a severe dose of 'srsly?'

Sorry, my bias hate for the ultimate universe is strong within me.
Anyway, I do agree that the death was very well done, I saw a motion comic on youtube about it that was very f**king good. Almost made me cry it did.
What is this whole 'Ulimate' thing? Are they outside normal comic continuity? Or isn't there such a thing as normal comic continuity any more?
Well, they're a separate universe. A re-interpretation of the Marvel Universe, if you will.

The Ultimate universe is pretty much its own line of comics. It was made because Marvel said that they wanted new readers not to feel like they had to know decades worth of comic book knowledge about Spider-Man, X-Men, etc. Or something along those lines.
Quote from: First Blood on Aug 30, 2012, 03:21:10 AM

And DC only have two now. Not counting seperate titles like
Earth One.
Just read
The Thanos Imperative (including
Ignition, Issue 1-6, and
Devastation).
Well, talk about a send off. Even having not read
Nova or any of the events surrounding the cosmic line, this book made for a great conclusion to the story that I had started when I read the first few issues of
Guardians of the Galaxy.
The Thanos Imperative certainly wasn't as lighthearted as GotG before it, but it still managed to inject enough of DnA's excellent sense of humor into it to avoid making the book too bleak. I absolutely loved the sense of scale (that battle outside the Fault was amazing), but perhaps my favorite moment in the book was a much more personal scene:
Spoiler
Nova viewing the final log that Star-Lord had left for him. Despite not reading Nova or knowing anything about him prior to The Thanos Imperative, that sequence made for a great emotional moment, and added a lot of weight to the stuff that went down at the end of issue 6.
I wish that we could have gotten to see all of the Guardians in this event, but I guess, given everything else going on in the issues, it makes sense to focus on a smaller band of characters. If I had only one thing to really complain about, it would be that
Spoiler
The beginning of the book made it clear that Star-Lord's Cosmic Cube that he used in GotG 25 was completely empty and out of power, yet at the end he is able to use it once more on Thanos.
Still, that aside, I did really like the book. It was an interesting take on a group of heroes that I had grown to love, and made for a good conclusion to their story. I will say that I am a tad intrigued by the concept of
The Annihilators, too.

I have to read that.
I just read Wonder Woman #00. Old school and fun. :)
Action Comics volume 1 from the New 52. Not too bad. They use the new suit from the Man of Steel movie.
Actually, the suit in Action Comics is a bit different from the one used in Man of Steel. They both removed the red shorts however.
Hmmm, they look so similar.
I miss the red shorts now.
I found out that Marvel will end
The Amazing Spider-Man,
Wolverine, and
Captain America and Black Widow.
QuoteBy this point, it's no new move for Marvel Comics to wrap long-running series one month to have them relaunch shortly after in a new iteration. But with the incoming shake-up that is the rolling Marvel NOW! relaunch, the publisher's moves are coming faster and more unpredictably.
Case in point: in the December solicitations released this morning, Marvel revealed that three titles were up on the chopping block, with "Amazing Spider-Man," "Wolverine" and "Captain America And..." all declaring final issues.
Of course, with the first two series it's almost a certainty that the comics will be back on the racks come January with brand new #1 issues. "Amazing Spider-Man" is wrapping after an anniversary issue #700, and Marvel will obviously continue with some regular series starring its most identifiable superhero. The question stands whether the next series will also carry the classic "Amazing" monicker or whether it will be replaced by an all-new tagline a la "All-New X-Men's" taking over for "Uncanny." Current readers will also be curious to see if longtime Spidey writer Dan Slott will stick with the webslinger once his #700 tale is done. Of course, rumors have swirled that the recent "Superior" teaser from Marvel could be tied to Spider-Man as well.
When contacted about the end of "Amazing," Marvel responded, "This is the one comic you must read on December 26 - and the story all begins in 'Amazing Spider-Man' #698."
For "Wolverine," there's been less pre-relaunch hype about the book's future, though like Spider-Man, Wolverine has become so ubiquitous in comic shops that it's unimaginable there will be no Marvel Universe solo title for the X-Man.
The Captain America title may be a different story, however. With Rick Remender and John Romita, Jr.'s upcoming relaunch of the character's core title, Steve Rogers will be spending some time outside of the regular dimension of earth. And while that's not necessarily a deal-breaker for a second team-up centered title for the hero, the chance that Cap is back down to one monthly remains a very strong possibility.
Stay tuned to CBR News for more on the future of these comics as it becomes available.

So. Alan Moore's Miracle Man (Or Marvel Man, depending on what edition you've never seen) has been acquired by Marvel.
Does that mean it'll... um... actually stop being out of print?

Solid issue.
My favourite of the 0# issues is Batwoman, though... it reads as a message from Kate Kane to her father in case she dies on a mission.. and man, does it delve deep in the characters.. beautiful, and so intimate that it's a bit uncomfortable to read at times. But doesnt delve into hysteric emotional pap.. wich would be easy given the material.. well handled and well written stuff. It doesnt just improve your knowledge of the characters past.. it also iluminates how Kate currently feels toward her father... and gets that substory moving forward for the next issues. :P
Spoiler
Kate's confession that she used to love being a alcoholic... dark stuff.
Catwoman #0 was terrible :/ too histrionic and unfocused.. a few neat moments in there didnt really salvage the issue for me.

I used to, but I lost interest in it after a while.
It's wrapping up.
I kind of devoured it all in about a week. Pretty impressive, and it does build to something.
I have a request to identify a comic.
This comic book was about a kind of creatures plague, they stick to the human beings and replace their genitals with egg-laying holes (IIRC). There's a visit to a museum where there are lizards with their eyes sewn.
If someone knows about it, please tell me the name.

I fully expect to see Anthony Hopkins like that in Thor: The Dark World :P
Recently read Batman - Archive 1 (I think it was called that). It was the first collection of the old Detective Comic stories. It's interesting to see what's changed (Batman has no real problem with killing people, no Alfred) and what hasn't (origin stories of Batman and Robin, the costumes, the Joker in general).
But beyond that the stories themselves are very dated and not overly entertaining.
Minimum Carnage Alpha to be out in one day.
I remember when people at Wonder Con were thinking it was just a joke, couldn't help but shake my head at these fools because I knew all too well that Minimum Carnage was in fact going to happen.

Quote"It should come as little surprise that I have an affinity for all costumed crimefighters no matter if their adventures are 'period pieces' or not--heroism is heroism regardless of whatever year's on the calendar. With this Green Hornet project, which I've been percolating on for more than ten years, I'm able to meld my love of the Hornet's legacy with a little bit of Citizen Kane and a lot of Lawrence of Arabia to tell a story never before told--the dark years of the Hornet's later career and the one mistake he makes that nearly costs him everything."
I have only read a few issues here and there, but based on that cover art and that writer, I'm more than willing to give this a chance.

Agreed.
Also, it seems JMS really loves Schroedinger's Cat, as this is hardly the first time he's used it in his stories, but I'm not sure he entirely understands the point of it. It's not just that the cat isn't being observed. The poison mechanism is connected to a subatomic particle with a 50% chance of decaying by a certain point. If it decays, the mechanism releases the poison. Subatomic particles only settle on a state when observed, so the theory is that if you connect it to something bigger, the properties will transfer to it and the cat will be both alive and dead until observed.
He keeps forgetting the particle bit.
Where else has he used Schroedinger's Cat before? :)

Quote"DEADPOOL: KILLUSTRATED picks up where (DEADPOOL VS. THE MARVEL UNIVERSE) left off. Deadpool has traveled to a number of alternate Earths. He's killed the heroes of the Marvel Universe over and over again -- and he sees no end in sight. He's looking for a way to shortcut the slaughter, to annihilate the entire multiverse all at once. This is when he learns of the Ideaverse, a place where all the stories of classic literature are unfolding -- and he gets the devious idea that he could destroy these characters so that the characters of the Marvel Universe would never exist in the first place.
(The Ideaverse) is the place where the stories and characters that inspired the stories and characters of the Marvel Universe exist. Deadpool believes that if he can destroy them, he can retroactively destroy the characters and stories they inspire. Deadpool's able to move in and out of different timelines and worlds to do his dirty work, but he'll find that his presence in the Ideaverse may be having an adverse effect.
As for the characters he'll encounter, I thought a lot about the tales of classic literature that mean a lot to me -- and I thought about how to ruin them. I also tried to think about how those classic characters might correlate to the Marvel characters Deadpool's trying to kill.
Characters he'll encounter might include Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, Beowulf, and Don Quixote, among others. In every issue, Deadpool will be running into a few different characters, and I don't want to spoil some of the surprises."
Yup, I'm definitely getting this. ;D
Edit: This is the first time in quite some time that I've actually been hyped for an X-Men title.

Can't say I'm fond of Rocket Raccoon's new look, unfortunately. And I honestly thought Gamora was Mantis at first. Groot and Drax look alright (I wonder what's up with the red lights on Groot?) and I hope Star-Lord gets his helmet. Not looking bad, but not looking as good as the previous run, either. And hmm, Iron Man on the team? That's certainly interesting...
Depending on how good this sounds once it comes out, maybe I'll check it out. I absolutely loved the 2008 run, and hope some of the other characters from that make it into the book, rather than just sticking to the movie team+Iron Man.

Sounds interesting, though them being so heavily connected to Earth might be a bit off putting. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened in the film, and seeing S.W.O.R.D. could be really cool (in the film). I'm still going to hold out for reviews, I think, but this new GOTG series is actually starting to sound kind of interesting.
But Rocket Raccoon isn't an actual raccoon? I thought he was a mutated or engineered raccoon or something; the alien that looks like a raccoon thing is a bit...odd.
Similar to Howard the Duck, I reckon.

Probably some mind controll or maybe it's a clone. :-\
I hope it's mind control. Not too fond of the clone idea.
I'm not really fond of him killing people even when there's mind controll involved. It's the sort of thing he wouldn't do, no matter what. :-\
Guess we'll have to wait for the story. It could even be a nightmare he's having. :)
Aye, looking at it again, it almost seems like he's pondering on what he could become. I guess that kind of power would be pretty scary sometimes.
If f**king Optimus Prime is allowed to go dark side, something I never thought would ever f**king happen (judging on trasers based off of Transformers Prime Season 2...I don't watch the show, still have to keep up) then I think that Supes going dark side by mind control, and not being able to stop himself from killing people; that's something that can happen without question.
Optimus f**king Prime never went to the dark side... ...he just got a really bad case of robot-amnesia... well.. it was complicated. :laugh:

Then what was all that bs about his going all Decepticon? Or did I just assume that in the teasers?
Well, to put a long story short.
At the end of season 1, Prime gave up his "matrix of leadership" to stop Unicron from awaking.
This caused Prime to revert mentally to the time in wich he didnt have the "matrix" and was just a humble autobot called "Orion Pax"... this was before the autobot/decepticon war...
During this time he used to be friendly with a popular gladiator called Megatronus... who eventually became Megatron and started the decepticon war.
Seeing that Optimus has robot-amnesia.. megatron uses this to manipulate his now very confused "old friend" into becoming a decepticon and into giving up long lost war secrets that can help the decepticons win the war.
All of this ended up when the autobots essentially "rebooted" the matrix of leadership and brought back prime's full memory... but this didnt stop the decepticons from gaining essential intel... wich is still a real pain in the autobots ass in the present episodes.
Ufff! That was a bit convoluted but it played out really well in the show. :laugh:
Makes sense to me. Anyway, that freaking traitorous Optimus Prime! :D

The identity of the new Spider-Man has possibly been revealed.
Some of you may be cool with this, others not, but all I will say is that at least it's someone we know, and that has donned the Spider-Man persona before.
Did your Iron Fist books come yet, Laufey? :)
They're still waiting for the first volume to stock up before they ship them. :(
Aww. That stinks. Hopefully it's real soon. :-\
I did get the chance to read Wolverine MAX #1 though. Didn't really like it. The art, especially in those flashbacks/dreams, didn't sit well with me at all. :-\

Aye -- I was looking through that at my comic shop on Wednesday. And didn't pick it up for those very same reasons. Didn't like the art to it.
The MARVEL NOW! Iron-Man looks pretty cool.

Is the armor black, or just shadows on the red?
Look interesting, at least. I'm still curious about them integrating him into the Marvel Now GotG.
It's black.

Who's that in the armor?
Iron Man, or The Hulk, depending what armor you're talking about.
Hulk.
What does he need armor for?

"Ah, see. I don't get a suit of armor. I'm exposed, like a nerve. It's a nightmare." ;)
It just seems incredibly redundant to me, to put armor on a character that's theoretically invincible. :laugh:
I don't know what his status is in the comics right now. Maybe he's less powerful at the moment?
I don't know his status at the moment either.
Read Ultimate Galactus Trilogy. I'm guessing the 'Ultimate' is the same as 'Ultimate Spider-man' and 'Ultimate Fantastic Four' where the continuity is up the spout (the FF in this are teenagers who've never met the Avengers Ultimates). I can't say I care for the Ultimate concept, but that aside, this was a cracking read. If they want an Avengers sequel - this would be a good way to go about it.
Avengers movie, you mean? If so, Marvel doesn't have the rights to Galactus, unfortunately :-\

Banner's 'You won't like me when I'm spewing' was nearly a good pay off for a f**king awful set up.

Well it'd have to be bigger than just Avengers to include FF and X-Men. Which means Fox would have to work with Marvel with their FF and X-Men properties. And you'd need to find a way to work Jean back into it, what with her being dead and all.
:laugh:
What was I thinking...?

It's just so excrutiatingly bad. I don't get how writers from outside the US can write US dialogue, but US writers suck at writiing non-US slang something chronic.

While they obviously don't have FF and X-Men, Marvel do have the Guardians of the Galaxy and whoever else they plan on introducing down the line. While they are obscure characters, they could make interesting substitutes in large stories where more than just the Avengers are required.
Don't have the slightest interested of Guardians... Don't even recall seeing a Guardians... comic. Ever.
Like I said, they're obscure, but Marvel has a movie for them coming out in 2014. I read through the 2008 run of the team just to get a feel for what the movie may be like and I immediately fell in love with what I read. Sad that not to many people, even comic fans, have heard of them.
All I know about is the film - and for a long time I never twigged it was a Marvel comic flick.
Surely there's more established characters they could adapt to film?
Yeah, there are definitely more established characters out there. But, while not exactly in the public eye, the GotG have a lot of heart and tell a story worth telling, given who popped up during the end credits of The Avengers. Lets just say that more than one person on the team has close connections with you-know-who ;)
And above all else, the GotG are just fun. I'm not even much of a comic reader, aside from The Walking Dead. I have no problems with comics or anything, I just don't get into them the way others do. But I had a blast with GotG.
I wouldn't describe myself as a hardcore comic reader, though I do read a lot of them and am aware of ones I don't read. GotG is just not even close to the radar. Seems an odd move to make of film of it - but who knows?

Marve's Annihilation is basically the introduction of the 2008 team of GoTG. Fell in love with them on the spot.
You know, I never did read Annihilation. I wouldn't mind going back and checking it out at some point.
I still have to check out Gaurdians of the Galaxy. :P

Doooo eeeet...
I just read
Superman: Earth One - Volume 2. It was pretty good actually, better than the first one and to me it looked like the art had imrproved as well, with some more energy and movement to it. Some interesting stories in this one, such as the world reacting to Superman's presence, Clark trying to deal with being more than a human when it comes to dating and having these amazing powers and still feeling powerless in certain situations.
Some spoilerish thoughts...
Spoiler
Clark should definitely start giving interviews. As it is now, people would ask themself why Superman is only talking to Clark Kent and it wouldn't take long before someone realize the obvious.
Which brings us to Lois Lane, who launches her own investigation of Clark. I mean, come on. She's already suspicious of him, so it shouldn't be this hard for her to figure out who he really is.
I'm not sure what to think of Superman's way of handling that dictator. In one way I can understand it, with Superman putting the power in the hand of the people and letting them change things for themself. On the other hand, I can't really see Superman putting guns in peoples hands and letting them kill, even when the people they are killing are soldiers in a dictatorship.
All in all, it was a good read. I definitely recommend that you check this out. :)

Thor: God of Thunder #2.

I can barely wait for the first issue to be released, because this art is just fantastic.
I rarely ever buy comics, but I just recently saw this and I knew that this is the one I will buy once Marvel Now begins it's course.
Sold only because Colossus, Forge, and Dr. Nemesis are in this. Dr. Nemesis turned into an instant fave when I read about him during Marvel Zombies...I think it was the one where Machine Man came out. But yeah, Dr. Nemesis is pretty f**king rad.

X-Men: Fall of the Mutants (1988)X-Men: Inferno (1989)I am a bit of an
X-Men junkie when it comes to the comics. These past couple months I've been reading some of the older material; specifically from the 80s. Two rather large crossover runs I just finished were
Fall of the Mutants and
Inferno. In
Fall of the Mutants the X-Men are trying to find Storm; who herself is looking for her lover, Forge. All the while battling Apocalypse and trying to stop his plan of obliterating NYC. This was pretty good. I've always liked Marc Silvestri & Walter Simonson's art. So the
Uncanny X-Men and
X-Force issues were the best to me. Didn't care too much for the
New Mutants issues I am afraid.
And I really enjoyed
Inferno. That played like a horror story. Which was quite fitting given October recently passed. Two demons; S'ym and N'astirh have an invasion plan of Earth; in which they want to unleash demons and make it a hellish nightmare. At the same time Madelyne Pryor (Scott Summers' lover) is possessed. Summers feels Pryor will endanger his infant son Nathan Summers (Cable in the future) so he tries to get him back.
Spoiler
We also find out Madelyne Pryor is a clone of Jean Grey created by Mister Sinister. Who made his first appearance in the Fall of the Mutants storyline.
I really liked Sinister. He's one of the more interesting X-Men villains; let alone mutants. I'd love for this guy to make it into a future X-Men movie. :)
I am also trying to do this in order. So up next would be
X-tinction Agenda &
X-cutioner's Song followed by the very popular Jim Lee run at the start of the 90s. And I am looking forward to that.
I would love to get into some of the older X-Men stuff, because every time I pick up one of the new titles, it just feels like they're either sitting around complaining or just being assholes. :-\

Cool. How far are you willing to go back? Some of the best stuff,
Days of Future Past,
Phoenix Saga, and the
Brood Saga is some of the best stuff. Plus you get to meet cool characters like Scott Summers dad, Corsair; leader of the Starjammers!
I feel anything by Claremont, Byrne or Dave Cockrum is worth reading. :)
I suppose the Days of Future Past could be worth checking out before the movie at least. :D

If you do get, I hope you enjoy it man. Classic X-Men ftw.
Ah, perfect. Soon then. Soon. ;D
Played catch up with the Huntress mini series and Worlds Finest.
Thoroughly enjoyed them.. then read the reviews online.. and found out that there's a lot of people that dislike this series because there's not enough "ACTIONZ11111ZZZZ" and the all important "PLOT" doesnt move fast enough..... i guess there isnt much patience among comic reviewers eh? i wonder what they'd feel like if they had to read some harder modernist plotless literature... their brains would fall off? Seriously, f**k these people. The same twats that give high marks to Avengers x Xmen and shit like that. ugh.
The focus here is clearly on the characters and they are really well written.
Huntress mini series reads like a james bond tale but with masked vigilantes, pretty damn cool but it feels overall like the first half of Casino Royale... it's all set up for the World's Finest. wich is where the real plot kicks in. And btw the Mini Series-Worlds Finest combo kinda mimicks the way that Bond meets Vesper only in the second half of that film. In this, Huntress meets up with Power Girl at the end of the mini series and off we go into Worlds Finest, wich has tons of action but is mostly focused on character wich i like a lot.
Early on there's some Giant monster action in JAPAN, wich used the fukushima reactor explosion as a backdrop and in the latest #5 issue CERN also shows up. Really liked this use of real world concerns and events in the comic. Often times we actually forget that Gotham and Metropolis are meant to be actual cities on our planet. Surely real world events should show up more in comics, no? Right now Power Girl and Huntress are still figuring out how to get back to Earth 2, but the plot is thickening and solidifying our love and understanding of the characters with each issue.
Overall. These comics are fairly cool and one of the best things going on in DC comics right now. Ignore the haters. delve into this. and btw the #0 issue of worlds finest will break your heart. :'(
I just read Before Watchmen: Moloch #1 and for the most part, it was pretty good. I don't know much if anything about the character but this was a nice issue about his backstory. How he got into magic, became a supervillain and fought the Minutemen.
I also read Iron Man #1 by Kieron Gillen & Greg Land which is part of the Marvel Now thing. I really liked that. The art was good and and we find Tony trying to prevent Extremis from falling into the wrong hands. For not knowing much about Extremis, they filled me in pretty quickly and it made sense. A pretty cool concept I think. The part when Tony's black & gold suit was all liquefied and morphed into his armor on him was pretty awesome. :)
Huh, guess that Marvel Now stuff is really trying to tie in with the movies. Makes sense, introducing new readers to the stories and promoting the films at the same time.

The book really did feel like an extention of the movies. He even has the same in helmet interface.
You should definitely check out the whole Extremis arc, First Blood. ;)
Gonna see if I can find some of the Marvel Now titles myself.
Yeah, I'll be sure to check it out. They even recommend it at the end of the book. :laugh:
Okay, so I just read Iron Man myself. Very good. And I love the art.
I also checked out Deadpool #1. The dead Presidents of the United States are rising from the dead and S.H.I.E.L.D. bring in Deadpool to clean up the mess. It was funny and bizarre, without being goofy or silly. I loved it.

I just finished the 9-part crossover tale; X-tinction Agenda (1990-91) by Chris Claremont, Jim Lee and other various writers and artists. I have to say, I really enjoyed the hell out of this. Most of the story takes place on Genosha. A fictional island nation that looks like a mutant haven to the public, but in reality is a slave labor camp, with mutants being tortured and experimented on. The concept of behind Genosha is pretty interesting. It almost served as an allegory to apartheid and fascist regimes. The X-Men, X-Factor and the New Mutants all get caught up in what's going on there and try to put a stop to it. Time and time again they face one of their arch foes; Cameron Hodge, who I felt was very f**king creepy in this. He reminded me of those cybernetic creatures from the movie Virus. This was also shortly after Gambit was introduced. Here he doesn't get much panel time, but it was still nice to see him.
And say what you will about Jim Lee's art. Whether you love it or hate it. But I happen to love it. I feel he was one of the more dynamic artists in the business that would make his characters pop off the page. :)

One of the funniest and coolest moments during my time sitting down reading Runaways.
I just read Thor: God of Thunder #1. This is without a doubt the best Thor story I've read since Straczynski's run. There are three stories in this; one following Thor in a viking village, one taking place in modern times where he brings water to a desert planet and one that takes place many years from now, where an old Thor is alone in Asgard. The three stories are connected by a common enemy - Gorr the God Butcher. And I can't say enough good things about the art, so let's just leave it at this - it's bloody fantastic.
I also read The Walking Dead #104. Holy shit! Both Jesus and Carl were very badass. 8)
104's already out? I still haven't even read 97 :D

Yeah, I know. Anticipating it greatly (despite knowing the big 'event' in issue 100).
Its coming at a great time, too. I think right after Season 3 of the show ends.
Batman 14 and Batgirl 14 were insane and awesome, wrapped up in a ball of scary.
also, Aquaman just won a vote for sexiest superhero alive, dafuq?

I am reading an unhealthy amount of X-Men right now; mostly from the early 90s which is collected through various HCs and two Omnibus'. I am smack in the middle of the second Omnibus, which is Chris Claremont/Jim Lee/ Whilce Portacio material. It's just fantastic. Jim Lee's art is nothing short of ecstasy to the eyes. I just finished the Muir Island Saga which had X-Factor battling Apocalypse again. And right now I am in the middle of an arc which introduced Omega Red; a mutant with a shady past involving Logan.
Also Gambit is awesome. As I expected him to be. 8)
Then after this it's on to Bishop's Crossing, X-Cutioner's Song and Fatal Attractions. And at some point I'll check out Grant Morrison's New X-Men.
Civil War - I dig Iron Man more than Captain America, but boy did I want to see Cap pound the f**k out of Tony Stark in that series.
BPRD : 1946 & 1947 - Interesting to see just Broom and some WW2 soldiers going up against vampires and demons, without the help of Liz and Abe etc. Both good reads.

I have no idea whether to applaud Slott's balls, or to get angry at this. It is only Issue 698 after all, and we have no clue as to what will happen in the next two issues. This could easily be a
Spoiler
Captain Ginyu changes bodies with Goku thing
and we all know what happened soon after. At the same time this could very well be permanent and will carry on in Superior Spider-Man, which really makes me wonder just why he would take up the mantle of Spider-Man when there is absolutely no reason for him to continue on the Legacy in a good or bad fashion.
What would you do in this exact situation? Because I certainly wouldn't want to continue on the Spider-Man legacy if I were him. I would just decide to not bother with it, and enjoy the rest of my life. I am having doubts that this will stick because I am honestly questioning this shit, especially if it carries on to the next series of comics.

Before you watch the video, post who you think will win and why, then click play to find out ;)
Spiderman.
Able to lift 10 tons, superhuman agility, stamina, fortitude and his spider sense guiding his actions. This is of course a simply coming across each other kinda thing. Batman prepared is different.
Read a couple of Deadpool comics - Suicide Kings, and another one the name of which I forget. You know those people trying to be funny who are always 'on'? That's Deadpool. One out of every 20 gags is actually funny. The rest are just obnoxiously immature. And speaking of immature, a comic with wall to wall violence and carnage and @#&*ing comic book swears.
Shame, because the stories were decent enough, and Deadpool can be interesting when every single piece of dialogue isn't a lame attempt at humour.
The new Deadpool series is good (only one issue out so far) and not too much when it comes to the gags. Might be worth to check it out.

I really hope we don't see a PG-13 bull shit soon. It's a shame to see Hellblazer to come a end.

That's a great cover.

Deadpool : I Rule, You Suck - The running gag about calling vampires, Draculas, was actually funny in this.
Wolverine : First Class - Wolvy for kids. Too watered down.
Just read issue one of the new Judge Dredd.
It was okay. I doubt I'll continue, though.
First look at
The Walking Dead:
Issue #107.

Question is, does Carl die?
Iron Man #2 was pretty good, with Tony going up against armoured foes based on Arthur and his knights.
Yeah, I liked it. :)
I just read Thor: God of Thunder #2 and it continues to be awesome as we see Thor's first meeting with the God Butcher.
While taking advantage of the fancy internet google machine, I discovered that The Walking Dead: The Cutting-Room Floor, the book that I originally preoredered at the beginning of the year and was supposed to come out this past April (the same book that completely screwed up my order of Volume 16) has been pushed back to JULY OF 2013!

I wonder what's taking them so long to release it? I really want to read it; sounds like a very interesting book.
And on the topic of TWD books like this, since I only buy the TPBs and not the individual issues, I think I want to get the hardcover books collecting the covers of the first 100 issues. There is a lot of really great art in there.
Gary Frank's Comedian #5 cover. It's always a pleasure to look at his art. :)

Nice. Always been a fan of his art. Looking forward to picking that up.
I just read Avengers #1. We're thrown into the action right from the start and are then treated to serveral flashbacks, explaining some (but not all) of what's been leading up to those opening pages. It feels pretty big and I love the art. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this. :)
Minutemen #5 was very good today. That's the Darwyn Cooke, I love.

f**k. Now it's all incestuously weird 'n' shit. :D
New Thunderbolts was pretty good as well, with General Ross going around recruting people like Frank Castle, Elektra and Venom. It's just a shame that Steve Dillion is on the art. :-\

What a bizarre time to be a Spider-Man fan. Jesus.
I haven't clicked on that link, but I guess that's Dan Slott...well, it's true. All the peeps want Ben Reilly back...but...does that suggest that Peter won't be coming back for years and years? Because this isn't the same as when Ben took over for a while...gods...we're gonna have Eddie Brock and Peter just chillin' somewhere in the background, never being able to be as awesome as they once were. What I would give to see Peter come back in all his glory along with Eddie back as Venom one of these days...good-bye Spider-Man...it was a good 20 years of being a Fan of Pete/Spidey.
Well, time to see where this goes.

Peter Parker...gives up his civilian life and goes 24/7 as Spider-Man.

That Captain America was going to go on Sci-Fi adventures, which we know is now true, and the ending of Avengers vs X-Men.

Gail Simone got "kicked out" of writing Batgirl... for shame DC, for shame. It's one of their best books. Her run is gonna continue for quite a few more issues..... btw her "Death of the family" batgirl arc is off to a really stellar start.

@GailSimone did you not put enough women in refrigerators or something?

I just read
The Walking Dead #105. We got a good idea on how Negan's community looks and works.

Spoiler
Do you guys remember the guy Rick & Co let go a couple of issues ago? Now we know why part of his face look like it had melted. This is a character I think we can expect some rebellion from in the future.
I just read Cable and X-Force #1 and thought it was pretty decent. Cable, Forge, Domino, Colossus and Dr. Nemesis are almost caught by the Avengers for Allegedly killing unarmed workers. Meanwhile, Hope – Cable's daughter is looking for him.
I am also about to catch up on Iron Man #3 and #4.

Just read both of these. Iron Man was interesting, setting up some supernatural foes for him to battle. Cable and X-Force was a decent introduction as well. Being a big Colossus fan, I'll keep an eye on this.

I finished reading Daredevil Volume 2 by Mark Waid and loooved it. DD teams up with Spidey and Black Cat, and together they're trying to stop various criminal enterprises from getting a hold of the Omega Drive. There was also a really cool issue which had DD descending down into the Earth to get his father's coffin back, which was stolen by Mole Man. I really recommend this series. :)
And I ordered Daredevil: Ultimate Collection Volumes 1 & 2 by Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev. I am on a bit of a DD kick at the moment. And it's delicious. :laugh:

Nope. But I read it's where Matt gets his identity revealed as DD. And the public finds out.
I have read parts of it. When he's in prison.
It's good.
He meets Frank Castle right? Or is that when Brubaker takes over, after Bendis' run?

The Walking Dead Volume 17: Something to FearYep, certainly something to fear alright.
Spoiler
I already knew about Glenn dying in issue 100...but that was just, brutal. Very hard to read, especially with him being my favorite character :'( And I had no clue that Abraham died as well...he was a bit off the past couple volumes, but still, he's another character I'm going to miss.
I was also very taken back at the revelation of Maggie's pregnancy, and can only hope that it goes better than Lori's back at the prison.
Negan is menacing, and I really can't wait to see more of him in action. But even more, I can't wait to see what Rick and Jesus are up to with releasing that prisoner.
Another excellent read from Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard.
I won't spoil the coming issues for you, but let's just say that Negan's community is pretty messed up and that Carl have never been more badass. 8)
Buh...Here I am thinking that waiting until February for the TV show is going to be hard, but now I have to wait until June for this! :o
Also, speaking of Carl, I loved his recollection of the events with him, Rick, and Abraham on the street so many issues back.

Nope. Would probably have to look at it again some other time, but Carl just looked like the recoil of the rifle surprised him, and he looked like he was jumping, for lack of a better time, in place as he fired. He just looked so unprepared right there, if he were to actually take them by surprise and point his sights at each target, then it definitely would have been badass to me.

Just the fact that he sneaked into enemy camp with the intention of killing Negan is pretty damn badass. We're talking about a kid here. Most grown men wouldn't have the guts to do that.

That isn't badass at all, that's just stupid. If you ask me, Carl was doing a stupid thing by going over there with the intention to kill Negan when it's basically suicide to do so...which I have no doubt Carl knew.
Besides, it's not like Carl never did anything that wasn't badass...he's already done things that made me see this move by Carl as not surprising at all, badass or not.

And this is one of those times that they didn't, at least for me.
Well, agree to disagree then. :)

This one was just to frustrate the shit out of First Blood and Nightmare, who are probably going insane by the amount of TWD spoiler tags right about now. ;D
I think it was pretty badass.

Not smart, but badass. He killed six of Negan's men. With a gun twice his size.

.....this superior spiderman crap is ri-goddamn-diculous. :laugh:
I've been reading Invincible.
It's really fun, very addicting, and feels like how superhero comic books should.
That said, anyone notice how terrible Robert Kirkman is at dialogue? Every character talks the same, and they always say exactly what's on their mind. It's always on the nose. And they go on and on.
I noticed this in The Walking Dead comics, too... It's functional dialogue, but that's it. It's a good thing he's so good at storytelling.
I've definitely noticed that some of the dialogue in TWD is kind of in-your-face at times, but its certainly not enough to lessen my enjoyment of the book.
He pulls it off because we care about the story.
Read Thief of Thieves- he comes up with the story, but someone else writes it. And the dialogue can be pretty fun.

God damn Superior Spider-Man!
I just read Thor: God of Thunder #3. Things are getting really exciting as Thor is tracking down the God Butcher in present time and we are treated to serveral flashbacks of a meeting between the two in a cave, a thousand years ago. Seems like something went down that day that left neither of them unscarred.

I HAVE THE DEATH OF PETER PARKER SERIES
Read Spider-Man 700 today....f**king hate it to death.
Read Cable and X-Force 1 and 2 today, am liking it bit by bit, can't wait to see what happens in issue three because of that whole bit at the end of part 2.
Read the first issue of a new IMAGE series called Mara, looks interesting if you ask me.
Just barely, right this second, finished reading Thor: God of Thunder # 1. The artwork is f**king awesome, and the writing is also f**king sweet, completely hooked by this, and I f**king love this sort of detective story we are seeing in different time periods...love that we're taking in for a ride like this.

I enjoyed 698, I'm reading 699 right now.
I didn't bother reading those...just went straight to 700 because I thought it would be a disservice to my childhood hero to not be there for his final issue.
Also, I'm about to read Avenging Spider-Man 15.1 and to my knowledge this is our first taste of the beginning of Superior Spider-Man...all I know for sure at this point is that it takes place after ASM 700.

Slott continues to say that he doesn't want to do that. He think it's time for some change, and he points to Flash Thompson being Venom as a way to prove that he is going to keep Superior Spider-Man for a long time. A while ago there was a post in this thread that said something along the lines of Marvel wanting Superior Spider-Man, in the future, to have fans that only know the new cast...Dan Slott wants new readers/fans to know next to nothing of who Peter Parker is.
I think we'll find out the truth once The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters. They always line up their comics to coincide with the films anyway.
Just finished Spider-Man 700 :(
Simply I'm not interested in this 'Superior Spider-Man', even if technically Otto Octavius is now Peter Parker.
I dropped Amazing Spider-Man before the Ends of Earth arc finished, and I don't think Superior could deliver more interesting stories.

Because I definitely saw things here and there that made me feel that Marvel did create some sort of back up plan for Peter's return.

I thought he had a subtle connection with Peter Parker's memories before the dying Doc Oc (Peter) strengthened the connection at the end. But maybe there's a chance Peter Parker's mind can regenerate from memories ect., but that might be far fetched on my part.

It's probably not...I can't recall which moments made me think that this is a possible idea in Issue 700...but in Avenging Spider-man 15.1 there's a scene where
Spoiler
Doc Ock as Peter is walking to work, and a thief runs off with something...the guy calls out for someone to stop the thief, and Otto is all like "this shit ain't worth my time" or something...BUT, he end up stopping him by raising his arm as a sort of obstacle for the Thief to run into and hit. Otto then chalks that up to instinct...and that's when my theory had its alarm ringing like crazy, because I honestly believe that Peter is still in there somewhere.
I would like to think that the octobot that did the mind melding was simply a tool used to not LITERALLY transfer minds...but I think it was something that just copied their respective minds to their bodies...sort of like copying a file to a computer or something, but that somehow it made the transferred mind be the DOMINANT one. It's just that! Peter can still get back into his mind, he's simply being held back by Otto's!
Otto is actually dead...Peter still lives. I'll f**king keep to that until I see otherwise.

QuoteOn His Initial Reaction To Learning Of Dan Slott's Plans For Amazing Spider-Man #700:
When a writer pitches a story that involves the death of a character, minor or major, my antenna immediately go up. Questions emerge: Why are you doing it? Where will the story take you? And in this case, because we had killed Ultimate Peter Parker only a couple of years back, there an extra-high burden of proof for me to be sold on the idea of taking Peter Parker off the playing field. When Dan laid out the architecture of the story that would result in the death of Peter Parker in Amazing Spider-Man #700, and what that would mean for Spider-Man in the future — both the new guy in the red and blue tights, and for the rest of the cast — I was sold. It was inevitable that this story would be controversial, but as the story unfolds, I have no doubt that fans will be running to stores to see what happens next.
On The Reaction From Fans Online:
With all due respect, I don't know if the Internet is really the ultimate indicator of what fans desire, want or need. You don't predict your next president by only polling red states, know what I mean? Most of our most successful stories and initiatives have been met by Internet cynicism. Our job is to create buzz and excitement, and then deliver a quality story to back it up. The sales of Amazing Spider-Man #700 — a triple-sized issue that's on track to sell more than 250,000 copies in print alone — speak volumes about the popularity of the character, the deep love people have for Peter Parker. We completely understand fans' grief, rage, anger, angst and curiosity when you do something like this a day before Stan Lee's birthday. [Laughs.] How they stay tuned in months and years to come will be the ultimate test of whether or not this story was successful.
On The Lasting Implications Of The Death Of Peter Parker:
Hey, don't forget that we did a little story called "One More Day" a few years ago that had a lasting effect on the Spider-Man universe. And remember how long Bucky wore Captain America's red, white and blue tights? We seriously considered never bringing Steve Rogers back. Look, when people read Amazing Spider-Man #700 and see how the story unfolds — how Peter's memories embed themselves in the consciousness of the next guy to wear the tights — big questions will emerge. I'll leave it at that.
On The Death Threats Aimed At Amazing Spider-Man Writer Dan Slott:
This isn't the first time a creator has received a death threat here at Marvel, and we take all threats of physical violence — to a Marvel staffer or freelancer — very seriously. If you threaten one of us, even if it's just as a joke, we will do a thorough investigation to determine who you are. Count on it. This announcement was met with perhaps a little more vitriol than others. Perhaps that speaks to the passion people have for this character.
On What He Would Say To Those Still Wary About The Superior Spider-Man:
I'd say, read Amazing Spider-Man #700 before you make up your mind. What transpires in the closing scene sets the stage for Spider-Man's future. The big question will be, "Can the new Spider-Man live up the mantra, 'With great power there must also come great responsibility''?" There's a reason we're calling it Superior Spider-Man.
I don't think anyone remember "One More Day" with much fondness. :laugh:
A look at some of 2013's Free Comic Book Day items:
http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/1/1/27/981 (http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/1/1/27/981)
I'm really excited for The Walking Dead book. A new Tyrese story should be awesome, and it reprints hat appears to be the recent Michonne story from Playboy and the Morgan and Duane Christmas Story, as well as a Governor story that I didn't even know existed.

Reading Hit-Girl right now...sad to know that it's still an on-going series with 5 issues in total, and only 4 having been released so far. Was hoping to get this one out of the way before I read Kick Ass 2. Having fun with the Hit-Girl series, pretty damn funny, laughed hard right now at the build up towards the "Anyone order a knuckle sandwich?!" line, loved the delivery of it's final version.

Welcome Back Frank, isn't that the one where he's fighting against the female Russian? If so, never cared for that one, with the artwork being one of the reasons. Now Aquaman on the other hand... 8)
It's got a female mafia leader who hires a giant Russian guy to kill Frank. Also, Frank punches a polar bear in the face. :o

Haha yes. Great moments. I really do miss Ennis with his black humor on the character at times. :'(
I finished Aquaman: The Trench. It was pretty awesome, but I could have done with fewer instances of dumbasses making fun of Aquaman and getting shown up. Also, the issue about Mera buying dog good was one big WTF. Other than that, it was great.

Good read, thanks for this.
I think the author is forgetting though where each character is centralised. Gotham is a dark and corrupt world where justice is practically non-existent. NYC on the other hand, is much cleaner in comparison. Batman needs to strike fear into the villains of his world otherwise they continue to flourish. I think Batman would be all for a regular system where Gotham doesn't need him. He says as much in TDK.

f**king fantastic, I honestly can't f**king wait to read this, gods be damned!
I am currently in the middle of Daredevil Ultimate Collection Book One by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. And good lord is it good. The art is very gritty but fits the noir-ish storytelling perfectly. And Matt Murdock's identity as DD just got leaked to the press. The shit is about to hit the fan.
Go check dis' shit out!
Anytime I see Brian Micheal Bendis, my interests are piqued.

killed off Glenn right? Kirkman said he was tired of writing for comic Glenn and found TV Glenn more interesting to write for. That's why he did it.

He should have just killed off Rick if you ask me. Would have made for an amazing 100th issue if that would have happened. It would have been a real HIGH in the story seeing as how all Kirkman's doing is just rehashing the governor plot all over again with Negan.
If he did, where would the story go on from there? Robert Kirkman said this series could go on for 300 issues. I still wonder everyday how it will all end.

The story could go anywhere from there.
Spoiler
Getting rid of Rick's POV that has dominated this series would allow for far more freedom. The focus could finally be on other characters, and without the leadership that Rick would bring, it would be fascinating on who would take up the mantle, and how exactly they would be as a leader. And obviously this person would have to act completely different than Rick. Different morals and values, that would be evolving throughout the series. I'd pay money to see this happen.

Negan controlling Alexandria just like he does with The Hilltop. As for the whole "it's a re-hash of the Governor story arc", I don't think it is. Negan is a lot more dangerous and brutal than the Gov ever was and it's refreshing to see Carl take matter's into his own hands.

Regardless of him being more Brutal, it's just the same thing spun in a different way. Once again we have a crazy bastard who is in control of a bunch of people...and now Carl is as much a hostage as Michonne, Rick, and Glenn were in when The Gov. had them. Sooner or later we're going to have a similar clash between both Negan's and Rick's groups. It's too damn familiar already. I sure hope that something big happens that deemed all of this necessary, but I'll only eat my words once I see that.

I posted this yesterdat in another thread, and got thinking about getting into comics but my gripes (listed below) are putting me was wondering if anyone give me a hand understanding the univers or giving me some series that actievely stay away from the format , or 20 universes and 3 different batmen
QuoteThe one thing that stops me even trying to entering the comic world.
How many different versions of spiderman are there. Maybe it's becuase I have never tried to find out more, it could be as simple as a load of different marvel universes or settings and theres a different version of spiderman in each. But theres so many versions out there it's almost stopping people from getting into them. I mean I'm sure I would love some series but when theres 10 different batmans and you dunno where to start you have to go on mass and choose the best, but where do you go from there do you go I'd rather read a load of batman even the poor ones rather than focusing on the universe this batman is in or just the best comics.
Though I understand that's probably because I was never hooked as a kid so taking the plunge is harder when your sorta completionist
Honestly at this point the only comics I would even think about reading are the walking dead ones, because unless I'm mistaken they just go from the first untill they decide to stop. Even though I would probably love some other series more, but even then it becomes an inner monologue whether to just focus on reading the best comics or just focusing on a character or even universe that it becomes so confusing that it almost seems like it's damaging itself?? I know I'm probably wrong (as the two biggest companies do it) but from the outside looking in I've always been put off.
I know this wasn't really replying to your post just venting my annoyance as the story ark you posted even though it you were annoyed at it, for piss poor marketing actually seems kinda cool. It just annoys me when they try and have it both ways
Getting into comics is f**king tricky business, especially when you have decades of history, along with characters crossing over and such. You can easily go the route of comics like the Walking Dead where there's hardly that much to catch up on, and I think it's far easier even though it;s been out for years since it has little to no lore.
Getting into comics such as Marvel or DC's is much harder, but I suggest to just find a jumping on point. Right now Marvel has done a re-numbering of their issues back to #1, and I think it's best to just start off from their if you want, MARVEL NOW is basically a reboot, but at least it still keeps the history of the characters, and Marvel's goal is for this supposed to be a jumping on point.
DC did a complete reboot in 2011. Much if their history is now out of wack with longtime readers not knowing which parts of a character;s history is still valid or not, so it's a bit of a mess, but it's also supposed to be a jumping on point for all their characters.
I have no idea how exactly to jump into comics after not being in the loop, but my suggestion would be to just find a series you like, and just start from the beginning of whatever volume it is you're reading and just go from there.
You could also just read some graphic novels, most of which are stand-alone stories...like The Dark Knight Returns, JOKER, Spider-Man: Reign, etc. things like this are straightforward and are definitely enjoyable without having to know so many things from the universe.
So many f**king Universes and Alternate Realities/cross-overs in a comic series can be very annoying. To me, I don't have a problem. I'll read a story from Ultimate Spider-Man and catch up on the latest issue of Spectacular Spider-Man. ShadowPred is right about Walking Dead, it's all happening in one linear timeline and it isn't confusing to read at all. You also don't necessarily begin reading with Issue #1 but jump right in the story with any issue, and you'll be hooked.
The graphic novel thing, I always thought they just took a succesfull run or story arc and bookify it to make it special. I take it thats not the case and they are independent from any comic run?
Thanks for the help, the reboot thing suits me down to the ground, I imagine that still leaves a few versions of each character though? Like a new number 1 616 spiderman,and a new number 1 ultimate/amazing spiderman. I am now looking into getting into this reboot of marvel as the timing is perfect, and I've already got the first of the walking dead books (not the one with six editions, I think it has like 10 or something)
Thanks though untill I had it clarafied the comic world was more confusing that it probably is/

I already knew about Glenn, but I had no clue about Abraham. The way it happened completely took me by surprise and shocked me.
And Glenn...I knew he was going to die, but still...It was so brutal and left me gutted. He was my favorite character, and reading that was almost as hard as reading Michonne's rape (Volume 6, I think?) and all of the stuff that went down in Volume 8.

Spoiler
I'm only as far as Volume 17 (issue 102) but I have a feeling that Negan is going to play out very differently than the Governor.
One thing that I think could be interesting to see in TWD that has yet to happen is a major falling out between the group, with characters that we know and love being forced to pick different sides in a conflict. It'd be absolutely heart-wrenching to read, but this is TWD after all, and Robert Kirkman does love making us suffer with the characters.

QuoteWhat Makes a Hero: An Analysis of Amazing Spider-Man #700 [CONTAINS SPOILERS]
Such an insanely f**king valid point this person makes in their article. I should say that Daredevil does since the whole point of the article is pretty much derived from what Daredevil said a while back.
Completely makes me hate Spider-Man 700 so much f**king more. I was thinking the same thing when I first read it, but this article made me think about it even more, and for that I just hate ASM 700 and everything related to it far more than I did.

I have those trade paperbacks as well. They're pretty damn fun. Dracula is so deliciously campy and evil, it's awesome. And with Gene Colan's pencils and Tom Palmer's inks, you have one of the better Marvel Chiller comics from the 70s.
Love the characters of Frank Drake and Quincy Harker too. :)

Nightmare Asylum, you have to remember it sold over 350,000 copies and had nearly four reprints of the issue. TWD#100 is the best selling single comic issue since 1995! Also, seeing how 8 of the Top Ten graphic novels are made up of Walking Dead, that's a huge success too!
Oh, I certainly know that, and its quite an achievement. All I meant was that I'm sure the many variant covers helped to boost sales as well.

I got Tomb of Dracula volumes 1 and 2 for Christmas, and I noticed that the back cover of volume one refers to Blade as a "multimedia sensation." I guess they felt they needed to reference the Blade movies to get people to care about a blaxploitation character. :laugh:
I have those trade paperbacks as well. They're pretty damn fun. Dracula is so deliciously campy and evil, it's awesome. And with Gene Colan's pencils and Tom Palmer's inks, you have one of the better Marvel Chiller comics from the 70s.
Love the characters of Frank Drake and Quincy Harker too. :)
I love what I've heard about it, particularly that it can work as a proper sequel to the novel. And considering most attempts at a sequel that I've read either sucked royally or were just kind of meh, I'm looking interested in how that's handled.

You're fired!
The Superior Spider-Man #1 was decent. A question though. What's up with Spidey's claw like fingers and his weird feet? I mean, it's just supposed to be Doc Ock in Peter's body, right?
A question about the whole body-switch thing...What happened to Doc Ock? Is Peter in his body, or is he just gone? And if Peter isn't in his body, what happened to him?

Peter was in Ock's body and died. Ergo Peter died.
That ending to The Walking Dead #106. It could be a major thing or it could be nothing at all.
Can't wait to find out.
Reading Superior Spider-Man # 01 right now. Laughing at the robot who got zapped screaming why it was ever programmed with Pain Receptors...freaking Simpsons did it first, but it's still funny.

I am honestly crying right now...because there is f**king hope, there is hope god damn it! YES!!! f**kING HELL YES!!!
Aspie, if you're reading this. Just know that I was right! I AM f**kING RIGHT!!! Oh my god, I am so f**king happy right now...YES!
Thor: God of Thunder #4 was of course great. This God Butcher is honestly the best villain Marvel have come up with in a long time.

That gif could not be a better re-enactment of how I was reacting if it tried.
EDITJust read Thor: God of Thunder # 04. f**king fantastic read as always, and the ending got me f**king hyped for the next issue.
I'm halfway through Tomb of Dracula volume one, and it's pretty badass so far. One thing, though: in issue 6, a rich family admits to the vampire hunters that they forced their deformed son to live alone in a ruined chapel on the moors, and no one calls them on it. What the hell?!?
Yeah, that may have been a small oversight on the writer's part. Next ish, prepare for the children of the night! ;D
I am currently reading Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 02 and it's awesome. I am right in the middle of the Cursed Earth Saga which opens the book. Dredd and a few other Judges have to traverse the cursed Earth and make it to Mega City Two in order to stop a deadly virus. Brian Bolland's pencils are just delicious. He makes Dredd look fantastic.
Hmmhmm. I love me some British 2000AD goodness.

I finished Tomb of Dracula volume one. Great stuff, but Dracula's whole "you mortals can't ever kill me" schtick got old, fast. Same goes for Dracula referring to himself in the third person all the goddamn time. I'm also not entirely sold on the idea that pulling the stake out will bring a vampire back to life. Oh, and Blade is just silly. He calls Dracula "fangs" and says "dig" and "brother" a lot. Oh, 1970s, never change. But other than those few things, the comic is great and Dracula bitch slapping Frank Drake across the room is just funny as hell.

I really like this one (http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8073/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy_1_VariantManara.jpg). Not that I want comic book women to be nearly naked, but it looks better than that white space suit they have her in.
Still, if this series gets decent reviews from the fanbase, maybe I'll give it a go.

Is it the same character? I think the one in the white armour is Mantis.
Actually yeah, I'm pretty you're right. On the original image they posted they showed her but made no mention of Mantis being on the team, so I just assumed that it was Gamora (though I think I did make mention of it looking like Mantis).
Gorram Guardians of the Galaxy and its endless supply of green people! :D
I am finally starting to read the Predator comics books since I now have the Omnibus' (Omnibi?) Anyway, I finished reading Predator: Concrete Jungle...and I have to say that it was a good mini-series. Only thing that I can't comprehend is what the deal was with the invasion that occured, what the f**k did it matter that Dutch's brother managed to kill one, and why the hell didn't any of what Dutch's brother did, apply to Dutch as well? Apparently it was all for the sport? What?!
If someone can clear my head, please do so. I only JUST finished reading it, so maybe I missed something while I was reading, but that whole invasion bit seemed unnecessary.

Quite curious, because 'Omnibus' is latin dative plural of 'Omnis' per se.

I've started up on Tomb of Dracula volume 2. I'm about five issues in, and it's already better than volume one. There's no pointless time travel, for one thing. it turns out that Dracula was once destroyed in the sixties by a vengeance seeking Scot. I'm guessing he's related to Kincaid from Skyfall. Blade's still a goofy stereotype (he even references Shaft at one point), but he's thankfully absent from much of it.

Sweet.
Barely reading all the comics having to do with the Court of Owls storyline...and god damn DC and their NEW 52. How in the f**k has it only been FIVE years...5!!!!! Since Grayson was in the circus?! What?! Are they honestly expecting us to believe that only 5 years have passed in total?! Can't wrap that around my head...don't see why they felt the need to add a specific number of years. In the flashback I'm reading right now with Nightwing...they should have just said "years ago..." not "5 years ago."
Gah!
First look at The Walking Dead Issue #109, available April 2013:
Quote Maggie and Sophia pick up the pieces and continue their lives at the Hilltop.

Marvel Reportedly Planning Big Cosmic Crossover Event This Summer
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=72958 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=72958)
So, I just finished Tomb of Dracula volume two. It was pretty great overall. Werewolf By Night is a character I'll probably look into a bit more, and Dr. Sun was a pretty good villain. I just want to know how in the blue hell wooden bullets work.
Spending my very early morning reading season 11 of Smallville. Liking how Batman and Nightwing have this back an forth talk between each other in broad daylight in their civilian personas, it's nice. So far it looks like they're both private investigators or something...possibly like buddy cops in a way.
If you like Season 11 then dig into the Stephanie Brown run of Batgirl... by the same writer. lots of fun stuff in there.

Most Bat-Family members = Depressed madafakas. The Steph character has every reason to "crack" under pressure... but refuses to. And so the book ended up having a fun, adventurous vibe. Her + Damian Wayne = Comedy Gold.
+ She slapped Bruce Wayne. And who hasnt wanted to do that to his smug face?

Should be illegal to continually have an event every god damn minute.
Does anyone remember Marvel creating another Fantastic Four back in the day? They only appeared for one issue, I think, and it was in a Hulk comic. We had Hulk jumping around in the desert when a bunch of scientists crashlanded. The looks and powers of the characters were very similar to the Fantastic Four, but the powers misfired and pretty much killed them all, while doing battle with the Hulk.
Anyone remember what these guys where called?
And no, it's not DC's Hank Henshaw I'm thinking about. :laugh:
Today I picked up the graphic novel of At the Mountains of Madness, as well as Wonder Woman Volume 1: Blood. Looking forward to both of them.

Superior Spider-Man #02
Spoiler
Jesus Christ...Peter in consciousness/ghost form was basically us, the Peter Parker/Spider-Man fans. He was basically saying things to Doc Ock that we ourselves have been saying since issue 1. Many people have complained about the cover, even going so far as to believe that this is basically rape...but nothing of the sort happens, Doc Ock does something that seems reasonable, so no worries there. So far, the issue was alright, it does show that Ock has ways of doing things that are more efficient, but his way of thinking can be argued of being either correct or not so correct. On his way to save MJ, he sees a mugging take place, Peter tells Ocks that he needs to stop the mugging, while Ock thinks to himself that it's just some petty crime and that the main objective warrants more attention above of all others.
An okay issue at best. The ending is the most I'm excited about to see come to fruition.

I'm still not enjoying it, Doc Ock is still such a pretentious bastard, and it's shocking how MJ can't tell that something's wrong. Peter's subconscious sounds like most readers when he's basically stating all the complaints that the readers have made.
I just read All New X-Men #4, 5, 6 and 7. So far, it's really good. :)
I just started reading Wonder Woman: Blood. If the rest of it is as awesome as the first issue, then I'll be greatly impressed.
I was a comic book reader when I was a kid. I had a comic book version of the Return of the Jedi. And I borrowed Garfield and Snoopy comics from the school library. My interest came back when I started to read the Far Side and the Dragon Ball series during high school. Then I stopped reading until I bought an Aliens comic last month. I bought Aliens vs Predator: Prey via Amazon. It turned out to be a novel. No problem. I like novels.
The Aliens comic made me want to make my own someday. I think it has become easier to make money with it thanks to the internet.
I just finished reading the first TPB of the rebooted Wonder Woman, and it was insanely awesome. The mythology/Harryhausen fan in me was squeeing almost the entire time. Although, I'm still not sure why Poseidon was a giant octopus.
Yup, I loved the new Wonder Woman as well. :)

This, basically what ShadowPred said. He doesn't come off as threatening. He's a parody. With the Governor I felt threatened and uneasy. Negan is a cartoon. The kind of character that would chew scenery if he was on screen. He's like a bad 80s cliche of a villain.
I've only had one encounter with Negan so far in my reading, but I haven't had a problem with him.
Well, apart from what he did :'(

Ah, I get ya. I'm mostly basing it on the intensity that I felt while reading it, maybe it's just because I've seen The Joker a few too many times to feel anything different than what I felt during the Batman TAS days and up, but I understand what you mean.
Seems like the artwork for Wolverine MAX has improved since the first issue.

This issue is by far the best one of the bunch. So much freaking humor done RIGHT. There's this emotional bit towards the end were I really felt sorry for the character in which this issue focuses on. Very well written, probably the best written one too. It was an issue that you could definitely relate to, so f**king good. I recommend for everyone to read this, because issue 5 is one that I don't think is going to be topped for me.

It was an issue that you could definitely relate to, so f**king good. I recommend for everyone to read this, because issue 5 is one that I don't think is going to be topped for me.
Wow, I thought comics tying-in with video games were always bad, I think I'll give it a read.
But to be honest, there was something else that didn't appeal to me: Is that a web comic, I mean in that weird horizontal format? I think I've seen the covers in that format, and so far most of the DC web comics I've read are pretty boring, is Injustice a Webcomic?
Injustice is a digital comic...so you'll basically be seeing the typical page, but in digital format. Just think of a scanned comic page, and that's basically what you're getting. I did hear that the first 3 issues were going to be released in paperback, but I'm not sure if that's been released yet, or if any plans have changed on that.
Just read it. It was certainly not what I expected. Good stuff though.

QuoteAccording to the ever reliable lads over at Bleeding Cool, they've gotten word from Marvel's Creative Summit that, "next year there is a plan at Marvel to kill Wolverine." Apparently, it will be handled in a way which "gets round his healing factor and his seems supernatural deal to keep coming back from the grave." They go on to explain that Logan's involvement in Ultron War - which will see him and Susan Storm travelling back in time to recreate the Marvel Universe - will have some sort of effect on his body and that "even given his reputation as a bloodthirsty killer, this time he may have gone too far..."
Wait, so having Wolverine found S.H.I.E.L.D. (or something like that...) wasn't enough? He has to found the entire Marvel universe now?
Oh, I forgot to mention something. I finished volume 4 of Punisher MAX. Now that was some epic shit. Frank Castle absolutely massacring those nightclubs full of gangsters was insanely brutal. Oh, and Frank has the least enthusiastic reaction to the prospect of sex that I've seen in fiction.
I read the Death of Ultimate Spider-man, and now I'm all caught up with the Miles Morales series... and... I really like it. It's not often that a superhero death in comics has actual resonance, because we expect it to be undone sooner or later. But here, the Parker story was wrapped up nicely, given actual pathos and not gimmicky, and now there's a new Spider-Man who I actually think is a better character and more interesting to follow.
I would love for Captain America to lay down a beating on Ultimate Cap.

Ending the Ultimate universe? Just when I started reading USM?
From the article:
Quoteit turns out that this event will "lead to the end of the Ultimate Universe, in print published form at least..." So, perhaps the Ultimate Universe will still live on in Marvel's popular digital format?
Speculation.
Anyway, other than Spider-Men, which was well done, I don't want to see too many crossover 'events' with the two Universes- the Ultimate stuff was refreshing because it was totally independent from normal continuity, and thus free to do what it wanted. Now it's like DC's multiple universe stuff. Just let Ultimate stuff be Ultimate, and also screw Ultimatum.
Injustice: Gods Among Us # 06
"It's over."
I knew there was no way in hell that after the last issue, that anything would be remotely close to being as good, the only good thing about this issue was that a statement has been made...one that will f**king change things for the better in some people's eyes, and for the worst, in others.
Batwoman 17
A few missteps.. a few good steps... overall a satisfying conclusion to the story arc that begun all that time ago in Batwoman #1. But this issue really shows the storytelling problems of the series...
Spoiler
Batwoman has proposed to Maggie Sawyer, making Kate Kane the first married member of the bat-family. Nice. And Alice is back to the world of the living .. and on the DEO's grasp. Medusa was killed in a scene straight out of Clash of the Titans... but the victory didnt feel well earned... and it's nice to see Bette Kane get back to crime fighting and winning over her personal fears.

The U.S. Government honestly did the DUMBEST f**king thing they have ever done. They just f**ked with a man who is hell bent on ending all f**king violence in the world...through more f**king violence. Once Supes finds out that the U.S. did this...and whoever else was involved - holy f**k is he going to come down on everybody harder than they f**king think would ever be possible. You do NOT f**k with Superman, especially when he has stopped with the BS. Jesus...if you thought Supes was f**king insane already...just wait.

A new epic begins with the debut of this new, ongoing series! Don't miss the first fateful meeting of Batman and Superman in The New 52!
That's... oddly scary.
How in the hell is this the "first fateful meeting", when they met in Justice League issue...what was it? Issue 2!
I read "Venom: Shiver", a 5 part miniseries that opens up the Venom solo comics.
It's definitely a thing. Literally, it's pretty much just The Thing with the Venom symbiote and Men In Black thrown in because, f**k it, they don't even know what they're doing anymore. I think this came out in, like, 2003 or 2004, and you can buy all 5 issues for, like $8 on the Marvel Digital Comic store. It's...alright. The art is kinda...weird. It's not exactly bad, but it isn't good either. I'd give it about a 5/10, maybe.
Also Eddie Brock isn't even mentioned, the suit is hostless here and jumps from body to body.
The Transformers: More then Meets the Eye.
This is the epitome of fantastic Transformers comics this is just pure GOLD! I never before fallowed a comic were I cared so much for characters. Normally that's really hard for me because I am normally always rooting for the bad guy but no I like a lot of the crew on the Lost Light. Also the amount of funny in this while still keeping serious is shocking. I havened laughed so much at a comic or manga for that matter in a LONG time. When's the new issues coming out? ... March 21? Wait... that's a day before the new season of Transformers Prime. Oh My~

Just Morrison. I read about half of the Planet Love TPB which covered issues 58-63. I had NFI what was going on. However Morrison's run started at issue 19, so maybe if I started there I'd get it.
I tried Final Crisis a while back and didn't get that either.
I know I asked this a while ago, but I don't really remember any of the answers I got... Are there any good Doctor Strange trade paperbacks/graphic novels that anyone would recommend? I'm really interested in reading some of his stuff, since he sounds like one of Marvel's most interesting characters to me.

Check out the first
Marvel Masterworks volume. It's out in paperback. Collects all his earliest adventures. It's a bit camp but a lot of fun. :)
Thanks, I'll definitely keep that one in mind when I go to order :) Any good stories that are more recent?
Hmm. I haven't read anything recent with the good Doctor. Maybe Shas can help you out on that one. I am mostly a Silver/Bronze age guy. :laugh:
Haha, got'cha :D
That Masterworks one you recommended, that's a black and white reprinting, right?
Nope, it's in color. :)
The Essential line is in black & white.
Ahh, awesome. I'll definitely give that an order sometime then :)
I think I may order Doctor Strange: Season One as well, since its cheap and seems to be well reviewed.

Just finished Doctor Strange: Season One and had a ton of fun with it. The beginning seemed a bit rushed but after a couple pages it really found its footing. I figured Doctor Strange would be a character I would like and this book certainly solidified that. The back cover of the book was definitely correct in describing the story as "part Indiana Jones, part Lord of the Rings".
Now I'm all the more excited for the upcoming film now and I plan on getting my hands on a few more Doctor Strange comics in the meantime. Also, Emma Rios' art is absolutely amazing to look at; it is unusual but beautiful all the same.
I'm not sure how well this book would hold up for a long-time Strange fan, but for a newcomer like me it was a really cool introduction. I've heard mixed things about Marvel's Season One releases but this one definitely did the job for me.
Cool, I'll be checking that out myself at some point. :)

Awesome :D
I personally think that she will end up not being a angle at all and will be a totally different character. From what I remember in the 616 universe that they angles that appear in the Ghost Rider comics. It would make sense if she appears in a Ghost Rider issue then a GOTG issue.
The latest issue of Savage Wolverine was a bit Lovecraft inspired. ;D

Is that suppose to be a Celestial?
I think so.
Definitely looks like it could be.
On the topic of Celestials, I really hope the GotG get to set up shop in a Celestial's head in their movie :D
I find that extraordinarily interesting.
@NA
It should be Arishem - his head looks like a big pot of coffee. They should be inside sipping at Celestial Frappichinos.

Heh, that's awesome :D
I don't think they ever gave a name for the one in their comic series, though.
Thats OK, theres always room for new ones. Haven't seen one do anything interesting since the Thor story arch with him and them in the 80s. The Cthulhu reference is very interesting and cooOool to me.

So, uhh, I have another question. Given the fact that I seem to be more interested in some of Marvel's more out-worldly and mystical stuff (GotG, Doctor Strange, Thor) would any of you happen to know of any characters that you'd recommend I check out?
I recommend the Ghost Rider omnibus by Jason Aaron. :)
Well, that sounded interesting for about a minute before I saw the price :D
Though I also saw some fairly cheap TPBs by him; I'm assuming that they're the same stories as in the Omnibus, just split up?

Yeah Ghost Rider. Also, I would pick up back issues of characters you really care about. Find good story archs and check them out.

Awesome, thanks. I'll definitely keep those in mind then :)

Good. Before that, if you have the time and cash, you should check out J. Michael Straczynski's run as well. ;)
That only has three volumes, right? I just looked it up and the volumes are going for pretty good prices...I think I might give the first one a go.
After talking about Thor and that Celestial (well, one of them) story arch I looked it up on youtube for the hell of it and found the first 2 parts of the 3 part series. This one in particular, from my childhood, is why I pine for Thor to be ... well... more Thor like in the movies. Not just power wise but of how selfless and sacrificing he is mixed with the unwillingness to give up no matter what because people need him. Need him to fight for them - and to die for them.
Anyway here are the first two comics. If you like them I can explain what happens in the third or you could just but them probably for pennies online.

Not sure how many there are, I just read the single issues and then the omnibus. But three sounds about right. It isn't a very long run and it's more or less self contained. :)

Anyway.. anyone heard about the "Halo Jones naked print" debacle? One of the artists that created the british heroine recently did a naked picture of her to sell at a convention. not something that was ever going to appear in the comic book itself... but fans of the character started to complain about the blatant sexualization of the character and that this is a "terrible sign of where comic books are at nowadays"... the organizer of the convention, a woman, said that people were just being silly prudes about it.. and now she herself is being attacked about it... "doesnt this woman realize she's not allowed to be ok with this?" was just one of many stupid comments i read about her... god forbid men and women to have sexual fantasies and to draw stuff about them.. eeesh!
It's a bit telling that one of the people complaining about the "print" was Leah Moore.. daughter of Alan.. who himself authored the Lost Girls pornographic comic book that had Wendy from Peter Pan, Dorothy from Wizard of Oz and other children's characters having underage sex... so i guess "it's okay to do it if you have artistic pretense but f**k you if you just want to do it for fun".. :/
The entire thing just reeks of cynicism + political correctness taken to an absurd extreme. blended with just the right amount of hypocrisy... argh. :-X

The fight was really cool, but the conversation they had afterwards was even cooler. While I was a bit lost on what exactly it was that Thor was pissed about (since I've never read Civil War) I still felt the impact.
And I like Heimdall so far, though I find it hard to imagine him
not being Idris Elba :P Can't wait to see more of him, though.
Just read the first issue of Thanos Rising. We start of at the very birth of the Mad Titan and are then treated to an excellent background story of his childhood and his first contact with Death. The story was good and the art was even better. Check it out, people. :)
Excellent. That's gonna be a must-buy for me.
Just read the whole 52 series :D It was the exact doses I needed of DC :laugh:
Injustice: Gods Among Us # 13

I remember that fight. I think it happen because fan wanted a rematch since people were pissed that Red Hulk won the first time. I'm not sure if Red Hulk is still around in the comics or not?
He's still around.
Reading Matt Fraction and David Aja's HAWKEYE...and this is the best, the f**king best comic I've read in recent memory, f**king love this so god damn much.

I'm lurkin' while workin' because I'm an A+ employee.
I've been reading more comics recently since Marvel Now! started.
Deadpool is actually surprisingly good, a million times better than Daniel Way's run and actually funny.
Deadpool: Killustrated has been a fun miniseries so far.
Uncanny X-Force isn't as good as Remender's run but it's fun.
Cable & X-Force is very fun, full of action and pretty hilarious in places.
Fearless Defenders is the one I recommend the most, it's good to see more female characters in the spotlight without being overly sexualised. Lots of action, humour and a fantastic story to boot.
I've also pre-ordered Brian Wood's all-female adjective-less X-Men title for Marvel Now!.
EDIT: I'm surprised nobody's mentioned The Hawkeye Initiative (http://thehawkeyeinitiative.tumblr.com) because it's not only funny but it serves, in my opinion, a decent purpose: "Created in December of 2012, The Hawkeye Initiative uses Clint Barton as well as other male comic characters to illustrate how contorted and hyper-sexualized women are commonly drawn in comics."
Also I'm headed to C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo) this year, which is in 10 days!
PBA! Nice to see you, dude.

The old ones actually wind up playing an interesting role in the new series as well, once time travel and alternate realities and whatnot gets thrown into the mix. Makes for some very interesting and comical scenes.

I enjoyed it, I didn't think it was as good as it could have been but since it was only 4 issues I can't blame Bunn for that.
Killustrated is pretty decent so far, but
Deadpool Kills Deadpool which is coming in July sounds like it might be jumping the shark.

I've been meaning to find somewhere to get into Iron Man but I just don't know where to start. I'd like to get into one of the series. Have they re-released a series recently I can get backorder of and jump on the monthly releases? Advice anyone?
I'm pretty sure with the recent Marvel Now thing they have going on there's an Iron Man series currently running. A quick google search told me its on issue 10.
I have no idea if its any good, though.
What's the series called?
I think its just called 'Iron Man'. Its their current ongoing series, I think.
I have no idea if its out yet in any collected formats, though. I know the 'Thor: God of Thunder' series from the same Marvel Now run comes out early June.
Actually, the first collection of the new Iron Man series is already out. You might want to pick that one up, Hicks. :)

You could always check out
Iron Man: Extremis. It's more or less a stand a lone story and set the groundwork for the new Iron Man movie.

Only the first two issues, but never the whole thing.
You didn't like it?
EDIT: discovered it was cancelled. Dammit...
I watched most of the Extremis motion comic, but never finished it. Tony was too serious and, well, sober for my taste. Oh, and Mallen was a lame villain.
Been reading The Others and The Throne of Atlantis arcs for JL and Aquaman in the new 52 recently and they're REALLY good, Aquaman is cool now. Anyone else read them?
Oh and GOTG issue 2 was awesome! "Blam! Murdered you!"

Do the Aquaman comics have as much bad comedy as the first arc did? That was the one thing I didn't like about it.
Seeing as I've been solely reading Marvel (speaking of which, I really need to get around to reading the next two volumes of Thor), would any of you have any DC recommendations for me based on my tastes?

Remind me of tastes again. Just want to be sure.
Lately I've been into Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Doctor Strange; outworldly charters and large scale stories that still have a lot of heart.

Try the New 52 Wonder Woman. She runs into the all kinds of things from Greek mythology.
Sounds cool. I'll keep that high up on my list once I finish up what I'm reading :)
And there's always my standard DC recommendations, regardless of taste, like Superman For All Seasons.
Superman's a guy that, as popular as he is, I've barely been exposed to.
With MoS looking as good as it does, however, I think I'm going to want to check out some Superman stuff.

Superman For All Season is very accessible. It's really quite an interesting take. It also has Lex Luthor at his creepiest.

Ordered a couple artist-centric Superman books. Since the newest Man of Steel trailer, it's really put me back in a Supes mood. Always on the horizon to read more Supes so if you have any suggestions throw 'em out. May check out Superman: For Tomorrow by Jim Lee...

No these two have been really serious, there's one part I really liked where Aquaman is really down and questioning himself and Mera tells him "Dont be like the rest of the world Arthur, Dont undervalue who Aquaman really is" I really like it

My copy of Birthright arrived today, and I've been reading it since. It's great so far, particularly the Africa stuff.

so totally pathetic.
And I just finished volume 2 of Thor. This series is amazing; better than I ever expected it to be. I can not wait to see what comes next and what its all building up to.
How did that volume end?
Spoiler
Thor killed Bor and Loki suggested to to Balder that the Asgardians move to Latveria.
Ah, yes. Bor was badass. How do you like the Bill & Kelda relationship, by the way? I found that really sweet myself. The interaction between the Asgardians and the townfolk is awesome as well. As are all the jokes about Volstagg's weight.
Also, the sidewalk.
:laugh:
Yup, loving all that stuff! Its actually kind of funny funny; I got into Thor for the epic, grand scale cosmic stuff but the down-to-earth interactions with the townsfolk has been the real heart of this series, and its been really interesting watching all of that play out. Also, Volstagg weight jokes are quite possibly the greatest things ever put down on paper :D
On a side note, I can certainly see how this run in particular served as inspiration for the film.

I was definitely planning on watching Thor again before the sequel comes out, but now I'm kind of in the mood to watch it as soon as possible 8)

First come, first serve :)
And its been claimed!
Too bad I don't have any of those devices :( still, thanks a lot, Nightmare Asylum.
You know, one of my only nitpicks on Birthright is that Lex is just too much demonic on this, he doesn't even appear to be human at all in some panels :D

DC had a reboot recently, so you could start with the #1 issues of Batman titles:
- Batman
- Batman & Robin
- Detective Comics
I highly recommend the Batman title, and Batman & Robin, so far they're the strongest titles and good quality until today. I'm not so fond for Detective Comics but the first story arc (#1-#6, I think) was interesting.
I also recommend:
- Aquaman
- Green Lantern
Look for them as the 'New 52' relaunch (2011).

So those 52 titles.. how much of each title do they relaunch? just the first issue's or more?

The New 52 is a complete reboot of everything DC. It essentially started every character over from scratch, so you need no prior knowledge at all.
Both Court of Owls (Batman) and Action Comics (Superman) are worth checking out.

You are wrong on this. The Batman family series (That's, every title of Batman) were not rebooted, they maintain the same continuity as before.

They're both recent relaunches, totally accesible to people who has never picked up a comic, they're entirely based on the title characters, and way better than anything DC is doing in the present.

Pretty similar situation to you, Rioto. I'm not completely new to comic books, but I don't really have extensive knowledge on them either. What I tend to do is just stick to Marvel's main story-arcs (
Civil War, Schism, Avengers vs. X-Men, House of M, etc); it's a lot easier, at least for me, to follow the basic stories of Marvel as opposed to reading all of the companion stories that tie-in. I'm also more inclined to follow the mutant story-arcs instead of, say, The Avengers, which makes it a lot easier to follow the main events (and save money not having to buy all of The Avengers story-arcs!).
On another note: I'd highly recommend
Magneto: Not A Hero as well as
Young Avengers: Children's Crusade.
The Man of Steel finally arrived in the mail today. I'm liking it so far. it's aged quite a bit (Lois's shoulder pads, *shudder*), but mostly holds up. The Batman chapter was pure win.
I might found my first comic/graphic novel. Batman: Arkham Asylum I simply love the game so this might be a pretty good choice to start. Anyone here read it?

I've read it. It's great, but don't expect it to be like the game. It's very, very bizarre.
awesome. I dont expect it to be like the game. I just love the whole idea of joker taking over the asylum and luring batman in.
I enjoyed the new Walking Dead. Ezekiel is growing on me.
Here's the thing about Kirkman- his dialogue always sounds like him, just talking through his characters. They all talk the same, they all have the same eloquence and they all say the same amount of information. Yet his stories are really good.
So here's the difference between the TWD comic and the show.
The comic feels like someone telling us a story, the show feels like we're involved with the story.
Finished Man of Steel. It was good overall, but I would have preferred a more cohesive origin story to the six loosely connected vignettes featured here. One thing though: This easily had the best Lex. The dude's awesome in this.

I love it. :)
The creature she's standing on looks quite interesting.
From Hell
This is my second or third reading, and it's just as amazing as always. Moore really put a lot of time and effort into this one, and the meticulous research is apparent on every page. Eddie Campbell's art may not be for everyone, but I feel it fits the narrative just about perfectly.
So I read all the new 52 Aquaman and I thought "new 52 is cool!" First 6 justice leagues "cool" batman volumes 1-2 "...eh, cool twist" green Lantern "OMG WTH WAS THAT!?"
What I read of New 52 Wonder Woman was pretty kickass.
Since Daniel Way is leaving the book with #11 I pre-ordered Thunderbolts #12. Fingers crossed that Soule can write a half decent Deadpool.
EDIT: Also I wish I could change my vote because it now needs to be 'Yes, all the time' :D
I just read the prequel comic to
Man of Steel. It's quite interesting.
Spoiler
We get to follow Kara Zor-El (a.k.a. Supergirl) on Krypton, completing some sort of trial. After graduating, she's chosen to captain a scout ship, with the mission to find a planet and populate it with Kryptonians. Thousands of these ships are sent out, but due to events which I won't reveal here, Kara's ship crashlands on Earth. Thousands of years later, in modern times, a signal is sent from the ship, implying that it's trying to contact Kal-El.
Now, if Kara's ship has been frozen for thousands of years and she's still alive, she can't possibly be Kal-El's cousin. Her trip from Krypton only took around ten years, give or take. Also, given that it crashed in the ice, I can't help but wonder if this is the ship we have seen in the trailers. If so, I fear Kara might simply take the place of a long dead ancestor. There's of course a chance she might still be alive and that Kal-El might find her in the sequel. The again, it might not even be the same ship. But that raises the question of how many Kryptonian ships we really have lying around in the ice. More than one would be a bit strange.
I can't wait to find out if they address this in the movie. :)
Been picking up a few different comic sets over the past few months. Nothing truely spectacular mostly stuff that's been out there and I've wanted for a while.
Kick Ass 2, Hit-girl and with the new TMNT (re)interest I picked up the first 4 issues of the Eastman & Laird series, something I've wanted since I was 10 and the original movie came out. Of course after I bought them, I found you could buy the entire series in volume sets for just over twice what I spent *bang head on wall* :-\
:laugh: I'll probably buy them anyways. I know it will be cheaper than tracking down all the issues.
Original print comics: >$100
Final cost of tracking down the rest : Expensive
Aquiescence out of common sense over cheaper completed set: Peace at home = PRICELESS.
Picked up volume 2 of the reboot Wonder Woman and the first volume of the IDW Ninja Turtles book. Looking forward to the latter, since I'm a bit of a raving Tom Waltz fan boy at times.
Just read Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #23. Cloak and Dagger made their first (?) appearance in the Ultimate universe.
Hey can someone tell me what the deal is between Aquaman and green arrow is in the new 52? And between the JL and Martian Manhunter?
Just finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Change is Constant. It was very, very good. The new origin was pretty interesting, and it explained a lot that I was kind of fuzzy about before. Raph's lone wolf tendencies in particular were clarified for me here. One thing, though: no one ever acts surprised when six foot tall, anthropomorphic animals just show up in front of them. Old Hobb even put together a gang, for f**k's sake. Oh, and the whole General Krang thing reminds me of all the Colonel Schrader rumors about the new movie. :laugh:
It's also cool that I have a non-Silent Hill related reason for loving Tom Waltz.
The Infinity Gauntlet...
...Holy mother of f**k.

The copyright date is 2012, and there's already at least three more volumes out.
I finished volume two of the New 52 Wonder Woman series today, and it's still going strong, in my opinion. I love how the gods are all a bunch of backstabbing assholes. Ares is actually pretty likeable compared to all the rest.
Just finished reading the graphic novel 'Darth Vader and the Ghost Prision'. Holy Shit. Awesome read,dark SW at its best. With great artwork,characters,story and shock twists. Brilliant.
You want a Empire story with Vader being completely heartless and badass,read this now.

5 issues total, right? I'm getting this right now.
I started to dive into New Avengers (2005) by Brian Michael Bendis. About twelve issues in and it's a lot of fun. The team consists of Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman and Wolverine. The issues drawn by Steve McNiven are among my favorite.

That dude is totally f**king awesome. So awesome. We need him in the show, or in a game, or f**king something...ANYTHING!
Yes! he needs more exposure lol. That part when he went in that jail cell,shit was brutal. I would loose my shit if he turned up in the new Star Wars Rebellion series,even if it was just a walk in role.
Omfg, we need him in Battlefront III...campaign mode, as the guy teaching the new recruits!!!
UHAHGAGHAHGAHAGHAGAHGHAGHAGAHGAHGAHAGGAFSGSFUAHUG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, this is very good:

Brian K. Vaughan's future sci fi noir, released only digitally. You pay what you feel is fair, then download it as a PDF. Extremely well written, totally worth checking out.
I think I might start reading Johna Hex, anyone have anything good to say about it or recommendations?
Going through AVP Three World War. Enjoyed reading it for a second time. Shame it doesn't explain why the aliens have two mandibles but that's probably just the artists own view on the creatures.

I know in the last comic there aliens with four mandibles :-\ that I considered were predaliens born from killers unable to fight. But regardless still a good story.
My favorite AVP comic is Eternal. I dug the contemporary/near future setting.
Just read Superman: Secret Origin.
I liked it enough, but I much prefer All Star and Birthright. This felt... I don't know, a little light, not going the full distance. It doesn't really do anything new for the character. But I did love the optimism, and I love that Superman looks like Christopher Reeve.

Superman Returns could have learned something from it, keepin in touch with the Donnerverse but still feeling like it's fresh.

Sure they do. You said comic book death. That is a comic book. It had been going on for years. Still going.
Quote from: Alienseseses on May 30, 2013, 07:56:33 PMSure they do. You said comic book death. That is a comic book. It had been going on for years. Still going.
"Comic Book death" more often refers to those perpetually ongoing comics, when you know the characters are going to go and back once and again for the next 100 years.
No authorship products like the Hellboy universe, or alternate experiments like the Ultimate Comics. And actually, Ultimate universe had already sunk by the moment Peter Parker died... Yet, they sort of brought him back for the Spider-Men crossover that I think it's going to have one or more follow-ups, as Bendis said.
Everyone knows the Ultimate Universe is soon going to finish, because of how absurd and unrecognizable has gone, most people think Ultimate and 616 will merge after Age of Ultron, Infinity or another crossover. I'd be pro having Miles Morales in the mainstream universe, I like the character.
Stop moving the goal posts, damn it, I cried!
Ok, fine, you want a death in a mainstream Marvel/DC superhero comic book?

I bet she will be back in a few issues.
Given the new Harper Row costume in Batman and Detective Comics... i'd say she's being positioned as the new Catwoman... :P Or Catgirl, maybe. :P (That's Harper at the bottom of the image)

Is Batman fighting that woman from Aquaman's The Others?
I remember they talked about killing off Batman for good until it was found out that Batman was send back in time after the events of Final Crisis. DC will likely find a way to bring back Catwoman.
Picked up the latest volume of The Walking Dead today.
Does anyone else love when your local comic shop workers recognize you and tell you what new stuff you personally might be interested in? Or your known as the _________ fan. I am loving the attention way to much.
I haven't found any comic stores in Israel, so I've been stuck using the Comix app. And I hear the comic store I loved in New York closed down... :(
I do enjoy going to comic stores. There's something fun about seeing the vast selection laid out in front of you, and browsing them along with likeminded people.
I'm all caught up on Locke and Key now. Sooooo so good.
And Ten Grand is pretty decent too.
I just finished The Walking Dead Volume 18: What Comes After. I know a lot of people were put off by this arc and by the character of Negan, but I'm enjoying it so far. Negan is certainly over-the-top, but I was able to buy into the character and now I actually find him to be quite interesting. He has some strange ways about him that I'm interested in seeing expanded on in Volume 19. I'm also really interested in finding out more about Ezekiel and his 'kingdom'.
The first volume of Thor: God of Thunder also came in. I'll be reading that after I finally sit down and read Volume 3 of JMS' Thor later this week.
Picked up
Wolverine Omnibus by Jason Aaron off Amazon for $36 bucks. ;D

So, next week's Hawkeye is from the POV of Pizza Dog.
X-Files Season 10 - Issue 1.

They still make X-Files comics? I think I have around 30 issues of when it first started when X-Files was popular.

I think I can officially say now, that while I love listening to what Grant Morrison has to day - I can't figure his comics out. At all.
The X-Files: when your arc is so poorly planned out it only gets a proper conclusion in a comic a decade later.
Or, ya know, continuing TV shows that ended in creator-supervised comic book form is kind of the new thing to do now (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_Season_Eight).

Spoiler
Ultron attacked our characters. Apparently the whole planet has gone to shit and only a few heroes are left alive, trying to fight back. What ends up happening is that we find out that Ultron is in the future attacking our heroes in the present. They go and look for Nick Fury because he's the only one who is sure to have prepared for such an apocalyptic event of this size. They find him and then come up with a plan on how to take him down.
The plan is to simply go into the future and kill Ultron. Wolverine doesn't like the idea and proposes that they go back in the past to kill Hank Pym before he even creates Ultron. Wolverine's main reason is because no matter what they tell Hank, he;ll still see Ultron as a challenge that he can beat (oh hey, he might kill you all in the fututure? No problem, I'll make him not to, k thnx bye). Wolverine ain't having that. So he travels into the past while the other heroes go into the future, and some even stay in the present.
Sue Storm follows Wolverine into the past. They both make it to New York to put a stop to Hank Pym, along the way I believe Sue is trying to tell Wolverine that there has to be another way, he keeps denying that there is. Wolverine finally makes it to Hank's lab and confronts him, he tells him everything that has gone down and proceeds to attack Hank. Sue intervenes but Wolverine convinces her that this is the right thing to do. Wolverine ends up killing Hank Pym and hopes that whatever future they go to is one that surely is better than the one they left. It's not.
They enter a world where magic is pretty much the dominant force instead of Technology or some shit. Iron Man is basically some dictator or something...either that or he's like some Guardian who has tech every f**king which way. Some bullshit about Morgana Le Fey being the villain and who the f**k knows what, it's real stupid...none of it makes sense. So what ends up happening is that Wolverine goes back in time to prevent himself from killing Pym. He and his other self come to terms and Hank decides to make a killswitch that will guarantee that Ultron is put down when the shit hits the fan again. Wolverine tells his other self to kill him because only one of them can go back. So that happens. Sue and Wolverine are now back in the future (our present) but they get there before anything happens. So later we see Pym getting a some mail with a video of himself saying that he might not remember the event that almost killed him (Wolverine and Wolverine and Sue showing up...it's madness) but that he made the killswitch against Ultron.
Ultron shows up, killswitch is engaged, everything ends up fine...UNTIL - some bullshit about how their time traveling has f**ked everything up...the multi-verse is tearing itself into every direction (which is why we have Galactus showing up in the Ultimate U) and now all multi-verses, everything that we have seen in the past, present and future, are all converging, and any one universe can have thing, or people, or whatever transfer over to whatever universe it can. Tony Stark asks how this is possible since they've done time travelling before...apparently this time it was one too many (bullshit).
So there you have it...Age of Ultron was merely a f**king waste of space simply to have all this other bullshit possible. So now Angela is in the f**king Marvel U (does this mean that all comic books are all connected regardless of anything?) This explains why we'll have Spidey 2099 making an appearance in the 616 Universe, and all other kinds of shit.

Wait, I haven't been following. What's going on?
Spoiler
Ultron attacked our characters. Apparently the whole planet has gone to shit and only a few heroes are left alive, trying to fight back. What ends up happening is that we find out that Ultron is in the future attacking our heroes in the present. They go and look for Nick Fury because he's the only one who is sure to have prepared for such an apocalyptic event of this size. They find him and then come up with a plan on how to take him down.
The plan is to simply go into the future and kill Ultron. Wolverine doesn't like the idea and proposes that they go back in the past to kill Hank Pym before he even creates Ultron. Wolverine's main reason is because no matter what they tell Hank, he;ll still see Ultron as a challenge that he can beat (oh hey, he might kill you all in the fututure? No problem, I'll make him not to, k thnx bye). Wolverine ain't having that. So he travels into the past while the other heroes go into the future, and some even stay in the present.
Sue Storm follows Wolverine into the past. They both make it to New York to put a stop to Hank Pym, along the way I believe Sue is trying to tell Wolverine that there has to be another way, he keeps denying that there is. Wolverine finally makes it to Hank's lab and confronts him, he tells him everything that has gone down and proceeds to attack Hank. Sue intervenes but Wolverine convinces her that this is the right thing to do. Wolverine ends up killing Hank Pym and hopes that whatever future they go to is one that surely is better than the one they left. It's not.
They enter a world where magic is pretty much the dominant force instead of Technology or some shit. Iron Man is basically some dictator or something...either that or he's like some Guardian who has tech every f**king which way. Some bullshit about Morgana Le Fey being the villain and who the f**k knows what, it's real stupid...none of it makes sense. So what ends up happening is that Wolverine goes back in time to prevent himself from killing Pym. He and his other self come to terms and Hank decides to make a killswitch that will guarantee that Ultron is put down when the shit hits the fan again. Wolverine tells his other self to kill him because only one of them can go back. So that happens. Sue and Wolverine are now back in the future (our present) but they get there before anything happens. So later we see Pym getting a some mail with a video of himself saying that he might not remember the event that almost killed him (Wolverine and Wolverine and Sue showing up...it's madness) but that he made the killswitch against Ultron.
Ultron shows up, killswitch is engaged, everything ends up fine...UNTIL - some bullshit about how their time traveling has f**ked everything up...the multi-verse is tearing itself into every direction (which is why we have Galactus showing up in the Ultimate U) and now all multi-verses, everything that we have seen in the past, present and future, are all converging, and any one universe can have thing, or people, or whatever transfer over to whatever universe it can. Tony Stark asks how this is possible since they've done time travelling before...apparently this time it was one too many (bullshit).
So there you have it...Age of Ultron was merely a f**king waste of space simply to have all this other bullshit possible. So now Angela is in the f**king Marvel U (does this mean that all comic books are all connected regardless of anything?) This explains why we'll have Spidey 2099 making an appearance in the 616 Universe, and all other kinds of shit.
I remember when comics didn't need to have a giant event crossover every few months.
The thing about this one is that it was actually good in the beginning. It wasn't until they had to introduce that Hank Pym part of the storyline that the comic started to wane in quality. It's a damn shame that this comic was intended from the start to pretty much be a big advertisement to all the comics that will be affected by this event. I was really into it and then it just fell flat on its face.
Well, I just read a couple Ant-Man comic books:
AVENGERS ORIGINS: ANT-MAN & THE WASP(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fifanboy.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F10%2FAvengers-Origins_AntMan-and-The-Wasp_1-674x1024.jpg&hash=82d01a7e1d84d5d1f485b6fdbee72882e23474b9)
I must say I didn't know a thing about Ant-Man's origin. I only knew about the "Pym Particles" and that's all. Both of these books are "origin" stories, so I was able to recognize the common elements and discern his "classic" origin:
Spoiler
He's a brilliant scientist with bad luck. His wife is killed by some mafia guys for past debts with her family. He develops his own shrinking technology, that no one is interested into. He then creates the ant-telepathy helmet. Gets interested in fighting crime. Janet Van Dyne is slowly drawn into, and becomes Wasp...
The art of Avengers Origins was amazing.

Such paintsy, artsy style reminded me some science fiction books I read as a kid. It pretty much felt like a good science adventure. The bad part is that the book's length was too limited, we didn't see most of the fights but had roughly one page for each one. Still, pretty satisfying and interesting to read.
I also think this is like the most loyal version to the true origin. But I don't know if Janet fights Cthulhu on the canon origin :P
ANT-MAN SEASON ONE(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.comicsbeat.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F12%2FAntMan_SeasonOne_Cover.jpg&hash=ac1913ad433093378ddd3d12334133791201c77e)
The other comic book was not bad either. The art is way more "cartoony", and that sort of turned me off, but still the story is not that cartoony and has some dark and serious situations on it.
In this story, things are a little different. Pym has some mental illness derived from his wife's death. His manipulative father takes him to an international lab to work under Elihas Starr aka Egghead, a great scientist. Here Pym gets the idea of the telepathic helmet because his wife was an enthomolgyst developing such technology. Egghead steals his inventions and uses them to create and control giant wasps. Janet/Wasp is not in this story, but there's a black scientist that aids Pym.
I doubt this script is true to the canon origin, but is entertaining enough as a separate thing.
This comic book is more sequential and dynamic, with big action scenes and sequences, pretty entertaining. Also, much more humour, and adventure. And Ant-Man accomplishes much cooler things here.

This one is like 98 pages length. Supposedly it is a graphic novel, but I easily recognized the cliffhangers from monthly comic books. The story is like a whole arc, but also fells a little flat and lacks actual dramatic moments, like it was very calculated and little passionated. It feels light-hearted and not much deep on it.
Still, I give it a good note for the acton sequences.
I wouldn't say these books are landmarks at all, but they're pretty light and entertaining.
Origins is the serious and more realistic part, while Season One is the cartoony and fun-lovin' version. And Season One's art is impressing and immersive.
I give them both 3.5/5. If you're interested in getting into the character before of the movie, give them a read, you won't be displeased.
Decided to catch up on my DC reading (been off on a Marvel tangent...)
Picked up the following:
Batman Volume II - City of Owls
Action Comics Volume II - Bulletproof
Green Lantern Volume II - Revenge of the Black Hand
Then my next project is to fill in some gaps in my Geoff Johns Green Lantern collection. That means going after Rage of the Red Lanterns, Agent Orange, Green Lantern: Brightest Day and War of the Green Lanterns.
I have an unheathly love for Geoff Johns and Green Lantern. The guy could write the book in his own shit and I'd still read it. :P
Quote from: First Blood on Jun 24, 2013, 01:28:57 AMAction Comics Volume II - Bulletproof
I should really pick that one up myself. The story got a bit weird in Action Comics, so I stopped reading it for a while and then never really got started again. :-\

I thought it was brilliant, the villain was cool and has a weird tie to Bruce Wayne that I'm not sure whether to believe or not
Great, can't wait to check it out. :)
New Avengers Vol. 7
Featured a lot of characters I'm not overly familiar with like Mockingbird, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, etc. Pleasantly surprised. Although the promise of Wolverin on the cover was kinda dumb since he only appears at literally the very last minute.
I'm thinking I might try out the Dark Tower prequel comics soon. There's way too damn many, though.
Just finished Green Lantern: Revenge of the Black Hand. I enjoyed it very much. The strained relationship between Jordan and Sinestro is always fun to read. Johns is setting the stage for Rise of the Third Army.
Shits about to get real.
Reading the "missing numbers" from Mexican publishing of The Amazing Spider-Man. Arcs I've completed recently:
- Grim Hunt
- O.M.I.T.: One Moment In Time
- Origin of the Species
All of these are pretty awkwad, can't say I liked them at all.
I also finished reading the Ends of Earth arc; I only missed 1 number, because I stopped buying after it progressively disappointed me. This final episode didn't redeem it.
I've kinda missed some of these guys, like Boomerang, Beetle and Shocker.
Check out the preview. It looks fun. :)

Tomorrow I'll be in the States and about four days after that I'll be getting my comic geek on at the crib. Already have TPB of The Activity waiting, some TPB about a soldier that makes it his personal crusade to fight Godzilla his entire life, and the most recent Aliens TPB.
Read Action Comics Volume Two and it was a bit of a mixed bag. It felt pretty disjointed at times and Morrison has this habit of going off in these bizarre directions. There really wasn't an arc to the book. All these different stories issue after issue. I didn't hate it, but it left me disappointed.
On the upside, Night of Owls is off to a smashing start.
The most adorable issue of Hawkeye broke my heart.

Dammit Pizza Dog, don't go! :'(
Growing up in the 80's/90's, I used to read a lot of Marvel and then Image comics. But by 2000, I basically stopped reading current stuff. After 9/11 and X-Men the movie, everything got super serious, dour, talking heads, black leather, etc. If I wanted to know how bad the world was I'd watch the news.
Then the whole business aspect of it, $3.00 issues to pay for cardboard covers and slick pages, what used to happen in one issue spread over three, everything turned into a year long event, etc.
Whenever I go to Cons, I just pick up graphic novels for sale. Last show I got Death of Captain America, which is really boring and the art is horrid. If i wanted photo real, I'd watch TV. Comics should be bold, dynamic, kinetic, larger than life, whatever you want to call it.
Also picked up Alien Omnibus Volume III, which contained some great stories all with different settings, tones, characters, etc.
Reading some Predator now as well, Concrete Jungle and next is Cold War. Gotta love the use of Dutch's brother.

I was at a comic store earlier and a recent release called Star-Lord: The Hollow Crown caught my eye. I flipped through it and realized that it was a small collection of some of Star-Lord's earliest appearances, so I figured it would be interesting and bought it. I've never read any of the classic GotG stuff, so this should be interesting to go through.
EDIT: A quick Google search told me that there was previously a similar one-shot about Captain Universe, and that there is one coming out in August starring Rocket Raccoon. Will definitely be picking up that one.

So far it's pretty good. I don't know if it's based on the books, but it's not an origin story. Dexter is already married to Rita and Debra is a Sergeant at Miami Metro Homicide. It starts of similar to Season 6, with Dexter going to a high school reunion. There he comes across a bully from back in the day.

JLA Trinity War Part 2 wasn't have bad, although it seems like they aren't fighting anymore...wtf to that, but it is very interesting
Invincible and Ultimate Spider Man were both very good this month.
Just read some Morrison/ Millar Flash stuff. It was okay-ish.
I think I've come to the realisation that beyond Batman and Constantine (and Superman a bit), I really don't give a shit about DC.

I don't follow it that closely. I just find the character to be the most interesting of that JLA crowd. Which isn't hard since the rest are non-events.
I am almost done with reading all of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run. I like it, like it a lot. He introduced a bunch of new characters and took the book in some interesting directions. Wasn't a fan of the twist regarding Xorn though. Not at all.

Batman The Killing Joke & Lex Luthor Man of Steel
Killing Joke was really good, the insane relationship between Joker and Batman was nice, great ending too.
Lex Luthor was pretty interesting.
I've never got what he was about, but seeing how conniving and manipulative he is cleared that up, I actually kind of like him now.
Just read Matt Fraction's "The Order", one of the post-Marvel-Civil-War groups that I don't think lasted very long. It's decent enough, but it never reaches the heights of Fraction's "Hawkeye" series.

Yeah, I was turned off by his art for the longest time. It wasn't until I read Morrison's New X-Men run, that I started to like it more. :laugh:
Finally got around to reading volume 3 of JMS's run on Thor. In short, I loved it and, for the most part, found it to be every bit as good as the first two. I loved seeing the Warriors Three and Sif in action (really can't wait for their expanded roles in the upcoming film) and found the whole Kelda/Bill story to be quite charming. The book struck many emotional chords that I was not expecting, and managed to pull them all off brilliantly. Oh, the unexpected Doctor Strange appearance was very fun as well.
I was a bit disappointed in the ending, though. As much as it worked on an emotional level, it was very abrupt and left most of the major story details hanging, including the confrontation with Loki and Doom that the series has been building up to... is there another book that continues on from where this one ends, by any chance?
Up next on my list is the first volume of Thor: God of Thunder 8)
I read the first three of the five issues collected in Thor: God of Thunder and so far I am absolutely loving it. Tonally this series is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum in comparison to Straczynski's take on Thor, but it is just as good in a different way. I love seeing three distinctly different takes on Thor in three different time periods spanning thousands of years, and thus far the God Butcher has been a fantastic villain.
God of Thunder is an excellent run and it's still going strong. :)
I haven't been up with comics since 2010. What's the place to catch up?

DC's the New 52 and Marvel's NOW reboots have both done very well in setting it up for new readers, just start with any #1. DC I would recommend Aquaman, Justice League, Action Comics and Marvel I say Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Captain America
Just finished up issues 4 and 5 of
God of Thunder. This series is amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on the next collection in a few months.

Thor: God of Thunder is fantastic.

It's a great series and the next issue is supposed to be the last one.

You realize how hilarious that spoiler sounds without any kind of context or understanding of what this series is about?
Probably gonna preorder Thanos Rising and volume 2 of Thor: God of Thunder soon 8)
I've got a $100 Amazon gift card I'm sitting on right now. Once I get a more permanent address I'm going to split most of it between the IDW TMNT series and their Godzilla series I keep hearing is good.
Batwoman #22
Ok so this book has been building towards a big fight between Batwoman vs Batman.. and that probably makes it the most interesting big fight in comic books lately. :P the lead isnt going to take down another big crazy person..... it's THE Batman. Thats as iconic an antagonist as you can have for your book. The basic idea here is that Batwoman is being "blackmailed" into this fight by the US government and she'll either take down Batman or her father is going to jail... and so she starts out doing a plot against the government and against Batman... trying to get her cake and eat it. In this issue you get some nice moments where Batwoman tracks down Bane and
interviewsquestions him and some other inmates of Arkham Asylum. The pieces in the board are being moved and although you get the impression that "batman" will definitely live to fight another day... it's batwoman you care about.. because she's essentially being goaded into a fight she cant possibly win and that she "Shouldnt" win because it would just be a win for the bad guys....
So overall it's a really nice blend of superhero "funny book" and spy story and f**k yeah i recommend it and i cant wait for the big brawl. :laugh:
The artwork is stunning too. :P
Currently reading Captain Marvel, specifically the older material. I am passed the Stan Lee & Roy Thomas stuff. That's when they basically had him share a consciousness with Rick Jones. He'd clang his golden bands together and turn into Captain Marvel, vice versa. About to move into the Jim Sterlin era. This is early the 70s. That's when shit got more cosmic and featured the early appearances of Thanos.
Pretty cool to be honest. For a character I didn't know much about I am really enjoying the 'space opera' feel to these stories. :)
I think I'm gonna grab some X-men comics with my Amazon gift card. I'm looking at Days of Future Past, which I read years ago, and the Claremont/Miller Wolverine story. I was going to get the Dark Phoenix story, but it's insanely priced on Amazon. :(

Sounds pretty awesome.
Anyone know if the current Captain Marvel series is any good? The one with the female Captain Marvel (formerly Ms. Marvel, I believe). The trades are pretty cheap, so I've been considering getting them.
I just read Superman: Earth One, by JMS.
Volume 1, I liked enough. I enjoy the notion of looking at Clark Kent's decisions as actual decisions, and not just the prerequisites we expect from Superman. Why does he go to the Daily Planet? Why does he wear the glasses? Why does he wear a costume? Other stories have covered these, but this one treats it as more of a process, one outcome out of many potentials.
That said, some of the characters are a little underdeveloped- specifically, the Planet reporters. And the story did feel a bit rushed some times. Overall, though, pretty good.
Volume 2, I really liked. Much more than Volume 1. Now that we got the origin out of the way, we can ask more interesting questions. How would the world really react to Superman? Can he really save everyone? What is his responsibility, and what should he leave well enough alone? I love the hard choices he has to make, like either save a country from natural disasters but risk the lives of the civilians who live there, or leave the place, preventing deaths he would have inspired, but leave the civilians who live there at the mercy of a power hungry dictator.
I also was a fan of the look at Clark's humanity, or lack thereof. The way he tries to fit in, but knows he can't because he might hurt people.
Spoiler
The part where he loses his powers and goes into shock is a fantastic moment, as is the part where he admits to a newfound admiration of humans because he knows how vulnerable they must feel.
The action itself, with Parasite, wasn't too special, but it worked. And I liked the supporting characters much more this time. Lois has valid reasons for looking into Clark's history. And the new characters work well too.
In short, it's a very good, very well thought out story that focuses a bit more on the human element.
Spoiler
I'm curious about Lex Squared. I never in a million years would have seen that coming.
Injustice: Gods Among Us Issue 30
I'd recommend for anyone that has a soft spot for Supes to read this issue. I teared up and clapped at the ending because this issue is pretty much my exact thoughts on Superman from yesterday and of today. Probably my fave issue thus far, if only because of how it made me feel. This is on par with the Harley Quinn, and The Flash focused issues. If you've read those, then you know you're gonna get hit hard with emotion.
Mara Issue 5
It was about time that I finally got to the penultimate issue in this mini-series. Crazy ending to this issue, totally didn't see it coming.

It's a story told from the point of view of this kid that Superman happens to meet because he broke his bike. Superman decides to help (he's in his classic suit btw), but ends up messing up the bike some more. So he decides to give him a lift to his home. The kid is telling the reader how cool Supes is, how even low-end criminals would feel shame when disappointing Superman, etc. Anyway, it all leads up to this kid being older now, he's talking about how much he misses this Superman, and hates what he has become today. It's pretty much a commentary on Supes and the way he is today in comics, even points a bit of the blame on the people that think that Supes should actually kill his villains.
It's beautifully told. If anything, I'd also recommend that you should watch Superman vs The Elite. That film is yet another commentary about Superman being relevant today, if this boyscout still has legitimacy.
He does.

I saw that, loved it!
Wolverine
The miniseries by Claremont and Miller is every bit as good as it's made out to be. It's a neat little character study for Wolverine, focusing on the dichotomy between his animalistic tendencies and his basic humanity. Overall, it's a very good failed samurai story and a solid love story to boot.
The two issues of Uncanny X-Men thrown in at the end of the TPB are a different story. They don't really add anything to the actual story, and end on an annoying cliffhanger. The fights with Silver Samurai and Viper were cool, but the characters themselves weren't much, IMO. SS is just a big, dumb brute in samurai armor. Honestly, Robo-Samurai from the movie doesn't seem so bad in retrospect. :P
Would you guys recommend the New 52 Justice League Dark series?

But I am such a fan of Miles Morales, and transplanting him to another universe could rob him of so much that makes him unique.

I think it's very good.
And this is not the only Lobo, but the "true" one. The previous Lobo from New 52 is revealed to be "an imposter", while this is "the real thing". But the imposter is still around:

DC cannot stop sucking ass.
Quote from: ShadowPred on Aug 24, 2013, 11:05:32 PMDC cannot stop sucking ass.
I agree. I read at least like 6 or 7 issues from each prominent title of the New 52 series, and it certainly sucks, for the most part. There's a couple good things here and there, but they're plain awful, or mediocre even for the standards of mediocrity.
I mean, after Flashpoint, things certainly went downhill; previous stories could be contrived and hard to understand, but there was an undoubtful level of quality and intelligence on the stories. I enjoyed the hell out of things like the weekly 52.
But today, it's like DC recieved a massive jab to the IQ, everything is dumb, dull and loud. It simply sucks, it's unworthy. Like, the '90s, all over again. I have recieved a few recommendations only, Batman Year Zero, for example, but I'm definitely no longer on the New 52 train. I will instead go back and read a few old pre-Flashpoint 52 sagas; right now I'm reading just EVERYTHING from Justice Society, and Geoff Johns's Sinestro Corps War storyline.

Preacher: War in the Sun is pretty brilliant so far. It's much better than Dixie Fried in my opinion.
I caught volume 1 and 2 of The Activity. More grounded in reality (no superheroes) and based on a intelligence unit whose main purpose is to provide the best intelligence possible for the United States tier 1 operations (mainly Delta Force). The Activity itself actually exist, I believe the tactical teams that the comics follow do not (dun dun dun).
It is pretty interesting. And supposedly it is close to truth if you believe in the incerpts of the been there done there guys that always introduce the volumes. I don't know about that, but I will say that some gear I've seen in the comics way before I've seen it anywhere else.
Like the Magneto helmet.

I think it is funny that certain characters look like actors though. How do they avoid the trouble? The former Delta operative looks like the Mentalist, and the former Civil Affairs chick looks like the woman from Fringe.
Anyone read Kimagure Orange Road ?
Well, volume six of Preacher ended on one of the most bizarre, surreal things I've seen in a comic. Seriously.
Man of Steel Faora is making her debut in comics.

Anyone else collecting villains month?
Holographic covers anyone?
No. I live in XXI century, not last decade of the past one ::)
Preacher: Salvation
The main plot of the series goes on something of a hiatus here, with Jesse bunking down in a small Texas town and taking up the office of sheriff. It really says something that the comic can take that long of a breather and still be damn good. Oh, and Odin Quincannon is easily one of the most f**ked up characters in the series so far.

Wish my local shop had these comics. :P But alas.
Preacher: All Hell's-a-ComingThe penultimate volume has quite a lot of shit hitting the fan, and does an effective job of setting up the climax. I never thought I'd say this, but I pretty much despise Cassidy through and through now. I don't
want to dislike him, but he's just... bad. I'm also feeling a bit sorry for Starr. Sure, the guy's a dick (maybe not now, lol), but he's just had so much shit happen to him. And as usual, Garth Ennis finds a way to make that disturbingly hilarious.

The only real downside for me is the one shot at the end. It just wasn't all that good. The whole Preacher Special thing was cool at first, but there were easily a few too many.

Holy f**k!
First issue was really good. :)
What it's about: A couple finds that once they have an orgasm.. .time stops around them. They decide to use this ability to rob banks! It's also a sweet exploration of growing up and exploring your own sexuality.. and how that relates to other dramas on your life. It's a fantasy-comedy-crime-drama... :)
So yep... So far.. highly recommended. :)

Is anyone else getting tired of DC's New 52. It is so depressing, its like there is no happiness or joy in the titles anymore. I mostly read the Batman family series of books and now there is an editorial mandate out that they cannot get married or have long lasting relationships because DC thinks it ages the characters. Heck Batman seems to only have like two emotions in the New 52, anger and grief. Batgirl constantly gets her but kicked by common thugs way beneath her level, Damian is dead, Tim has pretty much no relationship with Bruce, Dick is usually OK but he can't catch a break either. Plus my two favorite characters Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain no longer exist.
Even with Superman and Wonder Woman things aren't great. Aside from them dating which we all know will not last, there is little joy in the titles. Plus Wonder Woman's entire origin got really messed up with the Amazons being man killers, rapists, and with Diana now being Zeus's daughter. Way to destroy a feminist icon DC...:(
I know DC is trying to get on the Dark Knight Trilogy's bandwagon with all of this grim and dark stuff but I seem to remember plenty of light moments in the Nolan trilogy too. It can't be dark all the time.
Now the Blue Lanterns are dead, so are they not so subtly trying to say that hope is now dead in the DCU?

I enjoyed much the "52" miniseries, things were way more interesting and cerebral at that period :D
New 52 managed to flash me for like 4 or 5 months, then I realized how the comics didn't go anywhere.
They're going now by the completely stiff format of "a supervillain appears, a little look at the hero's alter ego life, then there's a fight, a cliffhanger when we think the hero's gonna die, then it wins in the end", all wrapped up in 4 issues, then rinse and repeat.
Seems like they're selling the art more than anything else, since the stories are completely worthless. It's like the '90s all again.
Brainless, senseess, forced, inconsequential action, is what comes to my mind when I remember The New 52 standard comic book.
Anyone have any recommendations for any S.H.I.E.L.D. or Nick Fury based books? I don't really care what era the stories are from or when they take place (could be early days of S.H.I.E.L.D., modern day, whatever).
Also, the current Hawkeye run is supposed to be really good, right?
I hear Fury MAX is good. He also shows up a bit in Punisher MAX.
Ok been catching up on some things so here's a wave of reviews
BATGIRL Volumes 1-2 New 52
-the series is now on my list/radar. They capture Babs perfectly and her struggle to overcome her disability, her relationship with Nightwing/her dad/ and her mom are all great and it's setting up for the storyline involving her psychotic brother perfectly! It's a great read and now it will be a monthly buy. 9/10
GREEN LANTERN CORPS volume 1 New 52
-Brilliant, everything you'd expect from guy and John, beautifully done issue where John must face his shame head on, very emotional
8.5/10
GREEN LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS Volume 1 New 52
- not outstanding but most certainly unique and different, lyles never been my favorite GL but that certainly doesn't mean he's bad 8/10
RED LANTERNS volume 1-2 New 52
-Pretty decent, they aren't heroes but you feel for the lanterns and you understand why they are pissed off, doesn't mean you like it though
7/10
ANIMAL MAN volume 1-2 New 52
-I LOVE animal man! There's no ifs ands or buts! He is fantastic! The story fits right in with swamp thing and is so deliciously disturbing and unique! Animal man is a superhero I've heard many dismiss as useless but he IS NOT! Must read! 9.5/10
SWAMP THING volume 1-2 New 52
-Volume 1 was surprisingly Swamp thing-less for the most part but it is a great freaking read! I need volume 3! Rot world is going to be great(and I've heard it is) the character is great and so is the storyline, pick it up! 9.5/10
GREEN ARROW Volumes 1-2 New 52
-ok volume 1 was pretty good...volume 2...eh not really. I didn't like the story and the it really bored me...that's about it
Volume 1-7.5/10 Volume 2-5/10
GREEN LANTERN volume 1-2 new 52
-pretty good. Hal Jordan is the jerkish/irresponsible yet still caring hero he always was and Sinestro is still a douche so when you bring them together to work...it actually works. The action is great and the volume 2 story especially was great in expanding the green lantern mythos Geoff johns was famous for! Setting up for rise if the third army and concluding war of the green lanterns these volumes Are everything a GL fan could ask for
8.5/10
Suicide Squad volume 1 New 52
-the pros? Harley Quinn with little clothing, deadshot being bad@$$, and funny king shark moments. The cons? Everything else, villains shouldn't be this boring
5.5/10
BLUE BEETLE volumes 1-2 New 52
-it took a little to get into but once I did it was worth it. It was surprisingly engaging and funny. Some problems with inconclusive story arcs(one issue had 2 overlapping arcs that had nothing to do with each other, one ended prematurely and just kinda faded into the other one which did nothing more than to add to the New Guardians arc) but besides that
7.5/10
I'll post some more later, I've been busy XD

you better believe it
I am currently reading Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman (picked up the omnibus...) and it's f**king great. Reed Richards is literally trying to solve and fix everything. He meets a bunch of Reeds from other dimensions and their goal is to solve everything. Also there's a shit load of other mindf**kery going here, so it's hard to articulate it, without spoilers and sounding insane.
Picked up Superman/ Wonder Woman #1 today.
Guys, the art alone is reason to get this, it's full of great moments and sets up the series very nicely, I'm gonna enjoy this

He never got to grow up :'(
Peter'sd death seemed too forced and underwhelming to me.
Heartless monster. I despise Ultimate anything, especially Spidey, and I even teared up a bit.
It couldn't affect me because it was too forced for me to care.
I mean, Ultimate Universe was extremely promising in the beginning, for example, having everyone, from Spider-Man to the Fantastic Four being extremely young, compared with their 616 counterparts, made you think they were going to be long-running series, and everyone will grow up in a gradual rate... But that never happened!
Ultimate Peter's death annoys the crap out of me, and I've only read the early volumes. Those were really, really good, and it's a shame that the whole universe went to shit.
There's a new Ghost Rider on the way.

Electronic music gave a "ergh" feeling, but I'll still read it to see what happens. For anyone complaining about Johnny Blaze not being GR, don't complain. He'll still be Ghost Rider, and from what I remember reading he'll be a part of The Thunderbolts.
This Ghost rider looks kinda like it might be new version of 2099......eitherway it looks....diffrent...not sure i like it/neither dislike it.

Ghost Rider for me died way back in the 90s right when The Midnight Sons arc was introduced. I was never a big fan of GR spinning into a supernatural realm. At least Jason Aaron did everyone a huge favour and turned Ghostie in a bike-riding badass after that abysmal run by the hack known as Daniel Way.
Ghost Rider was spun into the Supernatural realm the moment he was first introduced when he sold his soul to the devil/mephisto/the devil again (f**king continuity be damned with this character) He fought plenty of people with supernatural elements, and even raced against The Grim Reaper.
The 90s version did the same thing multiple times. I am not sure what you even mean. Surely the midnight sons was not his first entry into the supernatural since Ghost Rider is a part of it by origin!
I'm just gonna say I like the sound of this new Ghost Rider...

Is it done in an interesting way, or does it just feel like the writers are clutching at straws?
They haven't actually explained it yet. The story starts with Khan on trial, and Kirk asserting there's no way this man is Khan, because he looks nothing like him. (He shows a hologram of Montelbaum Khan for comparison.)
The rest of the issue is Khan as a child being kidnapped and raised by genetic engineers. He's Indian.
Huh, that's actually fairly interesting. Let me know how it turns out as it goes on :)

I love Spawn. And own the first nine HC's of the Origins collection. They're out in trade paperback too. It's a fun and interesting character. Lot of supernatural elements at play.
What would you suggest buying? I read that Origins is just issue 1 and onwards, so I figured that would be the best one. Is there a better collection?

Yeah start with the first volume. Hardcover or soft, whichever you would prefer. The hardcovers collect 12 issues at a time, and the tradepaper backs collect less but I am not sure how much. Maybe 6 issues.

Dr. Doom doesn't have a face that messed up. I don't care what anyone says, the only truth I believe in was when Jack Kirby drew his face, and showed us that Doom's only limitations was that of a tiny little scar on his face.

Injustice Gods Among Us Annual #1
After a hiatus, we finally get another issue, at least until 2014 comes along and this one is one of the good ones. You get Harley Quinn being hunted down by Lobo, and special guest appearances by Green Arrow and Black Canary. This issue is a lot of fun, I couldn't help but smile and sometimes laugh at times. Harley was a complete jefe in this issue, and if you liked the Harley and Green Arrow issue from early on in the series, then you'll be extremely happy to know that we get more of the same humor in this. If you're a fan of this series, go read this now!

The only (well not the ONLY) comic that I've read since the last prime age that was very much worth reading reading was GenerationX.
Mostly during the Bachalo run.

Worst name for a decent comic ever!
That might be some sort of irony.
Probably my favorite arc was Generation Next from AOA.

The Problem (http://comicsalliance.com/dc-comics-marvel-golden-age-silver-age-comics-history/)
Interesting article. Could've done without the potshot against a certain CBM at the end, though.
I've been reading Infinity, with tie-ins and all.
I thought the "prologue" (5 numbers of Avengers) was really confusing and didn't help me to get excited.
It's weird because the two main series running along the "Infinity" book (Avengers and New Avengers) focus on two subplots that are practically not mentioned in the main miniseries D:
found that pretty odd, but somewhat justified to make every thing stand-alone, they just don't mix that well. For example, Thanos has two main objectives in Infinity and New Avengers... And the one used in one of the series is not mentioned in the other... Creates little voids here and there.
But up to Infinity #3, I got really engaged. I guess I'll end up re-reading the whole thing, and more than probably, re-read each series each on its own (or at least, the Infinity stand-alone miniseries).
From the tie-ins, so far I REALLY recommend Infinity - Against The Tide (2 numbers, starred by Silver Surfer). The rest I've read are Captain Marvel (VERY filler) and Nova (that is basically like the regular Nova comic style, which is not my cup of tea :/).

Quote"I haven't read any superhero comics since I finished with Watchmen. I hate superheroes. I think they're abominations. They don't mean what they used to mean. They were originally in the hands of writers who would actively expand the imagination of their nine- to 13-year-old audience. That was completely what they were meant to do and they were doing it excellently. These days, superhero comics think the audience is certainly not nine to 13, it's nothing to do with them. It's an audience largely of 30-, 40-, 50-, 60-year old men, usually men. Someone came up with the term graphic novel. These readers latched on to it; they were simply interested in a way that could validate their continued love of Green Lantern or Spider-Man without appearing in some way emotionally subnormal. This is a significant rump of the superhero-addicted, mainstream-addicted audience. I don't think the superhero stands for anything good. I think it's a rather alarming sign if we've got audiences of adults going to see the Avengers movie and delighting in concepts and characters meant to entertain the 12-year-old boys of the 1950s."
What a crabby piece of shit he's become.
lol. I was actually thinking earlier in the day that Watchmen was Alan Moore's attempt to murder the entire genre of superhero fiction... and i suspect that he's still mad that he wasnt successful.
Alan Morore is a weirdo
Moore is always joking about these threads.
Of course he has not read any superhero comic book since then, but it's not like he hates them or anything, he's only exaggerating.
How do you know he's only 'joking' though? The man is constantly mad at the world, every time they sit down to talk to him.
Alan Moore has lost his mind.
Yeah, Black Dossier made me suspect he'd gone off the deep end. Now he just confirmed it.

Well, it was only meant to happen, genius turned to madness. R.I.P. Alan Moore had great inspiring tips on making comic books, a video that was removed a few years back, and I took his suggestions to heart. Sucks he has to be placed on the same altar as Frank Miller now.

Oh well... thanks for the classic books, Alan...
I'm sure his next book will have shit characterization and the rape scenes he's so fond of as of late.
oh yeah.. his daughter writes comic books.. some of wich have been superhero stuff.. imagine.. THE FAMILY REUNIONS. :laugh:
Well, speaking of super heroes, I've finally gotten my hands on volume three of the reboot Wonder Woman. Can't wait to dig into this one. And while we're on the New 52, I think I'll be staying away from the Batman stuff. Some of the things I've read about it just annoy me.
I resumed my reading of Infinity, things start getting faster and faster after Infinity #3, now I only have to read Infinity #6 and everything after it and I'm very excited to see how everything wraps up, the last 8 or 9 episodes were thrilling, can seriously recommend it :D

Eh.... was it Snyder who changed Freeze's origin, or had Barbara Gordon "get over" her paralysis? Yeah, saying Batman's history all happened in five years was already pushing it.

In this new universe.. she was NEVER Oracle. she used the wheel chair for a while but got better overtime.. and went back to being Batgirl.

No one's saying she was not Oracle.
They kept a million other things from before the reboot. And how is shaking up the status quo and changing a character "getting the short end of the stick?" Did Jason Todd "get the short end of the stick" when he was killed?
Barbara still had a good development, she's now more insecure because she doesn't want to lose her ability to walk again and is still somewhat traumatized because of the attack. I loved the first arc of her reboot.
Eh... I'll drop it for now.
Anyway, I finished reading volume three of Wonder Woman today. It was good, though I'm wondering why this guy with a dorky space helmet is hanging around. Mortal Hera is kind of awesome, and she's spoiled for choice when she wants alcohol. :laugh:
Finished Volume 18 of The Walking Dead, What Comes After.
The most recent episode got me in the mood to start reading it again. I still really dislike Negan as a character. It's to the point now where he's asking one of his men if they ate out his baseball bat. Not to mention every other word is f**k. I am ready for this prick to die already so they can move on to the next arc.
Also in the volume we're introduced to Ezekiel who has a pet tiger. Sweet.

#21 to #34... this comic book was pretty great.. loved the art, characters, story was always surprising and full of heart... pity that it was canceled due to poor sales.. :/ Glad we still got a complete story out of it.
did i mention it's gory as all hell?
There were also tiny little fun diversions into more artsy fartsy comic book styles:

Disappointed with it. It moved too quickly, and it just felt plain. Not even reading the Hit-Girl mini-series made it any better. The mini-series is actually better than all of Kick-Ass 2 there's more character development there, there's a great build up, it's just a better written story than Kick-Ass 2 on all fronts.
And yet, here I am reading Kick-Ass 3, which is better to be honest.
Batman Year One
aka Jim Gordon is a badass :)

Batman: The Long Halloween and
Batman: Dark VictoryPretty damn good companion pieces, even if the former is far better than the latter. The Robin origin was quite nice, though.

Only thing I can say is: f**k yeah, man, f**k yeah 8)
If there's one thing I don't like about those comics, it's the way Tim Sale draws the Joker. It just looks really awkward to me. And come to think of it, it's kind of weird seeing Riddler as a complete butt monkey to literally everyone else. Which reminds me, I should really get around to reading Catwoman: When in Rome some time...
Now read Batgirl: Year One ;)

Maybe, maybe. I may grab Robin Year One, since I hear it follows on from Dark Victory pretty well.

15 worst comics of the last decade

Enjoy XD
Anyone reading the new Marvel Knights: Spider-Man "99 Problems" miniseries? It features Peter over Ock, for one, and the entire thing is from Peter's perspective- who has been drugged. So it has a very stylistic feel to it. The first issue is a little off, but #2 and #3 were great.
The new Black Widow comic is looking pretty sweet. :)

I second this. DC is f**king slow at releasing their New 52 stuff.
The first issue of Savage Wolverine looks great.
QuoteSURVIVING THE BLACK ROLLERS! In the 1930s Dustbowl, Logan is a bootlegger carrying whiskey down from Canada, until he finds himself the accidental caretaker of a group of orphans whose family was targeted by the mob. Now Logan must choose between the anonymous life he's been meticulously building or stepping out into the spotlight again to defend the innocent. A tale of family, betrayal and revenge all set against the hard-scrabble life of the Great Depression, this is a chapter of Wolverine's life you won't want to miss!

I've kept up on spiderman through websites mostly but since hearing about The Supirior Spiderman I've become very interested in picking up the parts printed so far as well as following it through to its end. If also like to catch up on The Scarlet Spider and Venom series after I catch up on TSSM

I saw a GotG collection at B&N the other day, and was super tempted to pick it up. I was put off by Iron Man being in it, though.
Still haven't read the current run. If they re-release the 2008 stuff before the movie comes out I highly recommend that, though.
Yeah, that's what I'll look into. I find comics Tony to be an insufferable douche.

I love RDJ's take, but I can't stand the character from the books. The little I've read just makes him seem completely intolerable.
Oh, and about the GotG talk earlier, I went looking for the 2008 run on Amazon...

Yup, the price for those is insane. I got them a little over a year or so go and only paid about $15 each. I'm hoping they just stopped publishing them for now so they can republish them in a few months to cash in on the film.

A Feast For Crows pulls me away every time :D How you liking the comics in comparison to the show?
I think they're fantastic but I still like the show a lot better. I think this is actually making me enjoy the show even more and I'm excited for the possible story arcs that are going to come up. I don't really see what people we're talking about when they said the comics go to shit.

Great pic! :D
Has anyone been keeping up on Earth 2? I recently got the first volume during the cyber-Monday sale and I just got volume 2 Hardcover a couple days ago. I've read everything so far except for the annual and the most recent two but I know what happens in them. I don't know about anyone else but I think it is one of the best and most original stories that the New 52 has spawned. If I had a list of all the things I was thankful for in the New 52 it would be second, just after making people appreciate Aquaman and right before the Animal Man and Swamp Thing stories. So what do you guys think?
Oh and I bought Aquaman #26 and It's clear the series is still going to be loads of fun. You can tell it's not Johns driving(It's like watching the season premiere of a beloved TV series). Parker is certainly the right man for the job. 8/10

Mmmh, I read all the first Earth-2 arc, I think it was plain good, but much a cliché at the same time. The last time I remember some dude called "Beowulf" was going to appear or something. Haven't read the rest, didn't caught that much my attention, I guess... I could give it a read later, who knows.
I went to a used book store today, and picked up three volumes of The Savage Sword of Conan. It took a great deal of restraint not to buy all eleven. :laugh:

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did :) Make sure you get The Thanos Imperative as wel (assuming its not included in that set)l, since it's basically the conclusion to that and the Nova series.
Now that I have some time to kill in the office, I brought some comic books along (digital, so no one thinks I'm a huge nerd), and read Avengers Arena #1-10.
Holy crap, this is really good! ;D
It takes the idea of movies like Battle Royale or Hunger Games, but using teenagers from the Marvel Universe, including the Next Avengers and the Runaways. The villain is arcade. The kids decide not to play by his rules, but he says if they don't want to kill each other there's still a way to complete the game, only that it will be way harder.

Of course there's guys who take one way, and others who take the easy way. The fact is that this book is accessible, crystal clear narrative, and the art is great!
Really good character development and introductions, so in case you don't know any of those characters, you won't have any problem picking up the book. For example, I had never read Guardians of the Galaxy, yet I knew this girl Cammi and fell in love; such a cool character.

A great comic, there are deaths and they're nicely built up and very justified. I was afraid some of my favorite characters would be killed... And they were! But I wasn't even angry, as the plot was really well done! Recommended :D
I got Godzilla: The Half Century War for Christmas. I haven't started reading it yet, but damn, the art is beautiful.
I read the rest of Hawkeye issues from number 1-9.

Holy crap, this is very good! :D
A minimalist but excellent art, great change in the pacing from the usual superhero formula, terrificly entertaining action scenes, and every issue is practically a stand-alone (while little by little things start to stack for an "overall" plot) that anyone can pick up and have tons of fun with :D

Again, I pronounce this should have been one of Marvel's Netflix series ^^
Oh gods, I need to catch up with this. That last image is like punishment for not having seen this firsthand. I totally agree this needs to be turned into a TV show. It's amazing just how freaking good it is.

I was very much satisfied with Marvel NOW titles :D So, for the All-New Marvel NOW! relaunch, really looking forward to jump in the new Iron Fist ongoing series bandwagon :D
Godzilla: The Half-Century War
This was actually really good. The art was fantastic, and the story was good enough for this sort of thing. Space Godzilla is still ridiculous, and I could have done without the evil scientist being named "Deverich." That was just petty.
Reading Thor: God of Thunder. So far, #1-3.

Thor has a long-standing enemy in Gorr, the God-Butcher. In this volume, we know in three time periods (young Thor, current Thor and even future King Thor) how does the conflict begins and ends.

I love everything about this world Jason Aaron sets. The human (and alien) characters and their interactions with gods from different cultures. The style of life of Thor and the Asgardians, and how they adapted Northern mythology to cover the whole universe (which actually makes so much sense!).
Great narrative, incredible art, and breathtaking action!! :D This title is fabulous, pretty much the best Thor read you can recommend nowadays!

that's the face on spider man fans.. once they jizzed their pants with excitment over the news. :P
Yeah, I hate Humberto Ramos.
Spoiler
And I'm not only talking about his art ::)
I'm glad Peter is back. Superior was a story arc that went on for too long. An interesting idea that was handled with complete incompetence.
Also am I the only one that likes Ramos' artwork
I have no opinion about his artwork as a whole, but Peter is smiling like the goddamn Joker in that pic.
Yeah, his face looks a little off there. But I usually like the way he draws the characters. It's not realistic, but I like it.
Reminded me of Milo from Legend of Korra

I was taking a break from Transformers comics and found this gem of a series. Beast of Burden is a supernatural. thriller, mystery comic series done in the prescriptive of animals instead of people. It fallows a group of dogs and a cat that continuously run into supernatural beasts that seem to pop up all over there neighborhood. They are the only ones who seem to run into these events and are the only ones who can keep there neighborhood safe.
I really love this series and it easily wins me over with supernatural stuff and animals.
So, started on The Savage Sword of Conan. It's pretty good so far, but I kind of want to smack whoever thought it was a good idea to draw a fearsome dragon as a stegosaurus. Yes Conan, flee for your life from the vicious herbivore! :laugh:
Reading some Captain America comics from 1987 right now where Steve Rogers gives up being Cap cause government is trying to tell him what to do. Pops up as The Captain later in black costume w new shield designed by Tony Stark. Cameos galore and a little cheesy but fun.
Also reading Backlash from Image in 94, good stuff, so action packed and over the top w aliens, covert ops military, special powers and action. Forgot how intertwined all the Image books were, Wildcats, Savage Dragon and Wetworks all show up.
Some alternate covers for The Amazing Spider-Man Vol 3, Issue 1

Love the second one.
So damn pumped for Peter's return.
Are these stories taking place before Ock took over or is Peter back for real?
The Ama Zing Spider-Man!
Confirmed by Dan Slott. He's back in the body.
QuoteThe New York Daily News has not only confirmed the series' existence, but revealed that Peter Parker will be back in control of his body by the series' April debut.
"We've gone over 30 issues without Peter Parker, so when we let him out of that box and he gets to put on that costume again and he gets to swing through the sky, it's going to be the greatest feeling," Slott told the New York Daily News

I'm almost sad...I've been really enjoying the Superior Spider-Man arc.
I enjoyed it when it wasn't the main series. I enjoyed a couple issues out of Superior, but for the most part Ock didn't seem to know what he actually wanted and that just bothered me. I really enjoyed Superior as a character in general, though. I like the idea of an arrogant, self-centered Spider-Man.

Zohnolulz!
Still reading more Savage Sword of Conan. I'm almost done with volume one.
Read a stack of GI JOE comics this week where Snake Eyes gets put in a killing trance then a bunch of Joe's like Quick Kick and Doc get wasted in the desert by a SAW viper.
Also finished a The Rocketeer and The Spirit mini series by Mark Said, not bad, fun throwback stuff. The artist known as J Bone has a great cartoonish style that added to the pulp factor.
Picked up volumes two and three of the IDW Ninja Turtles comics.
Has anyone read Dredd: Underbelly?
Shas, did your World's Finest book come in yet? :)

Shas, did your World's Finest book come in yet? :)
Not the Absolute book, but I did get the Lois Lane one and flipped through it. So far so good. I think the only ones I've read in it are the one from Byrne's
The Man of Steel and the one where Lois gets superpowers for a day in
All-Star Superman. There's one with Lois and Wonder Woman I'm looking forward to reading as well. :)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 2: Enemies Old, Enemies New
This series only gets better as it goes on. The revised origin for the turtles and Splinter is actually kind of brilliant. It manages to being in some elements from the cartoon, without being anywhere near as stupid. The villains are all a lot of fun, and I actually give a damn about Krang for once.
Ordered volume three of Batman: Death of the Family by Scott Snyder.

Most intense reading I've ever had in a comic book.

Yep.
I didn't care for it too much. It has the aesthetic of the movie, so if you're dying for more of that this'll give it to you, but the story itself was nothing special. I can hardly remember what it was about.
(And they drew Dredd weird. That was not Karl Urban's chin.)
I read the first issue of the new Ms. Marvel. It's nice to see more diversity in comics, though I'm a bit concerned that the character seems to be defined by her being a Muslim and not much else. As if her diversity is a protest against a lack thereof in the industry instead of a real contribution.

And the
Daredevil Omnibus by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson. Shit, these Omnibus' may not be the cheapest things in the world but I love the format. Beautiful oversized pages in a nicely bound HC. Unf.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 3: Shadows of the Past
The comic is still really good, but I'm not liking how it keeps referencing the micro series. I'd rather not have to read some pointless tie-in just to get what the hell the characters are talking about every now and then.
Judge Dredd the day of chaos the fourth faction/Endgame
Awesome two comics and one of the longer Dredd stories and superbly drawn. A follow up to the apockalypse war so if you have read that story it will be much easier to get the ties and references in this one.
Best with this story is that the dark judges make a return and is in a comic again for the first time in 14 years! And if you have seen my cosplay you know I LOVE the DARK JUDGES!
Worth every coin I paid for these two comics :)
Judge Dredd the case files 2
For the money you pay you get massive lots of Dredd stories to read, it has all the stories released during two years, in total there are over 20 case files books and they are in chronological order, the best thing with Dredd: Is that he ages and gets bitter the older he gets and weaker, and he has so many characters and enemies that batman/spidermans enemies looks few in comparison. Love the Dredd comics!
Transformers international incident:
Love the idea of the transformers being used by nations and fighting for them and not themselves and being used and the autobots has to try to stay away from a national incident. Easier said than done.
Transformers regeneration one volume 2:
It follows up what happened in volume 1 so read that first, but the story is good and exciting to read and is for those of us who grew up with generation one comics as they continue the story here. Art is superb and story as well, only bad thing is that the story leaves a cliffhanger and need to read volume 3 to know what happens after.
Some of the comics I´ve read recently, got them all last time I visited UK, my great friends there, now back in Sweden and miss that and my friends, so much comics shops there compared to here :/

I'm willing to give it a shot. I figure at least we should wait it out and see if it can improve.
Just started the Daredevil Omnibus. It's been nearly a decade since I've read this run. I'd forgotten most of the details so it's like reading it for the first time again. I am f**king loving it. DD is one of my favorite Marvel characters. It's almost more compelling reading about Matt Murdock the attorney than it is about his alter ego. You can definitely see that this book had some influence over Miller when he went on to write (and draw) The Dark Knight Returns.
"It's time to give the devil his due."
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol 4 : Sins of the Fathers
Still pretty great and fun to read, but it really does feel like a four issue setup for the next arc. It was cool seeing the turtle mutant from Secret of the Ooze as a major threat, though.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol. 5: Krang War
Okay, that was pretty awesome. It took me a bit bit to get used to the whole Cyberpunk Hyrule thing, but after that I was along for the ride. Not only was there a a lot of cool battle with Krang's rock monsters, but there was also a bit of badassery back on Earth courtesy of Karai.

I don't know how many Green Arrow fans are on this forum, but I highly recommend reading New 52 Green Arrow comics #26 onwards. It's a retelling of the character's origin with a surprising twist.
Had a total crush on him back in high school when Justice League unlimited was on TV.

Thanks for the suggestio so far :) I'd like to add I'm not aftrr comedy or anything cartoony. I'm a 90s kjd with typical 90s tastes. If it's badass, stupid and/or dark I generally like it. Terminator and Spawn are good examples.
Most of my suggestions are not comedy. A dark satire or two, maybe.
Has anyone read the new Punisher run by Mitch Gerads and Nathan Edmonson yet? I'm loving The Activity so far and was wondering if it was worth order each issue, or just waiting until August to pick up the graphic novel.

Well I finally managed to read it, nice little cameo by Danny Trejo lol. The issue is just setting you up in order to build interest in what's supposed to happen. What is revealed at the end of the issue certainly has me interested because I was pleasantly surprised at the group that is going to be coming after Frank Castle. Here's hoping issue 2 gets the plot moving along.
I'm still uncertain if it's going to be worth getting month after month seeing as how it's only been one issue, but hopefully I'll be able to be certain with myself enough to say whether or not it's worth getting on a monthly basis.

I've seen the massive reading list (http://i.imgur.com/FUM3v.jpg) for starting
Guardians / getting in the know with cosmic Marvel and I really don't know if I can be bothered to read so much just to understand what's happening :D
I've not tried Thor but I'm not reading any Avengers titles (outside of Shulkie, Black Widow and -- soon -- Captain Marvel) I don't find them that interesting in the comics as I do in the movies. I've heard nothing but good things from Thor, however, but I'm spending too much money as is!
I was just going to start, you know, reading the Guardians series.
Didn't know there would be a prerequisite to reading them ;-;
Yeah, you don't need to read the Annihilation stuff beforehand (I didn't). The first issue basically tells you that, after the Annihilation events, the Guardians formed to preemptively prevent any cosmic threats like that from ever happening again.
I simply read the 25 issues (four volumes) of GotG and then The Thanos Imperative to cap it off and didn't feel like I missed anything.

Read the first two issues of Hawkeye and I'm already in love. Clint feels right at home amidst the gorgeous stylized art, and the issues were just a ton of fun to read. Very down to earth with a lot of heart, but not at all lacking in the action department. I highly recommend it so far.

If it's the new series (by Bendis) there shouldn't be any prerequisite reading. The Marvel Now line was created as a jumping on point with new stories.
Glad to hear you're liking it, though. I haven't read that one myself, but I am a huge fan of the Abnett/Lanning GotG run. :)
It's the 2008 start that I'm reading, is that not the newest one? :O
Ahhh, so you are reading the one I read ;D You're in for one hell of a ride. Once you finish up reading all 25 issues I recommend reading The Thanos Imperative. It ties up the loose ends and is pretty awesome in and of itself.
Last year Marvel relaunched the Guardians again, with a smaller team (only the five members that are going to be in the movie and, oddly enough, Iron Man). From what I've heard it is pretty good, but not as good as the 2008 run.
Shows yah how much I know about Marvel :p I didn't even know about Marvel Now until a week ago :p Thanks for the advice. I shall procure those via Internets.
I'm looking foreword to the new Rocket Raccoon comic series.
How many here is looking forward to the next Judge Dredd epic comic book: Dark justice?
First comic to have Judge Death and the dark judges back for over 14 years and Judge Andersson is back and the sisters of death? The most evil beings ever created is back for doing some dark justice and judge all humanity to death :D I cant wait for in my opinion to be the comic of the year or decade xD

Anybody read Marvel's Journey Into Mystery 646-655 starring Sif? The run ended last year and I just found out about it a few minutes ago. Sounds like a really fun read.
Did a bit more searching online and decided it seemed like something I would like, so I ordered 'em :) Only downside is that, from what I read, the ending is a bit rushed because it was canceled without much notice.

And on an unrelated note, Hawkeye has been pretty fantastic so far. I'm about halfway done with it 8)
I had a left over gift card from Christmas, so I used it up today buying Infinity Gauntlet and Camelot 3000.
Still have to read my copy of Infinity Gauntlet. Will probably get to it as soon as I finish the first 11 issues of the Marvel Now run of Hawkeye.
Speaking of Hawkeye, Kate Bishop is awesome.
Guys, if you aren't reading Matt Fraction's Hawkeye you need to drop everything and read Matt Fraction's Hawkeye. This series is seriously amazing.
It's beautiful. Did you read the most recent one?
I bought the hardcover that has up to issue 11. I last read #9.
First issue of Infinity Gauntlet down. Death's a bitch. I'm enjoying some of the aspects I'm not overly familiar with, such as Hulk being much smarter than normal and wearing actual clothes.
So yeah, I finished both of those comics.
Infinity Gauntlet was all kinds of awesome. The Power Infinite definitely felt like a force to be reckoned with, and the shit Thanos pulled with it was genuinely kind of scary. My only real issue is what happens to Thanos at the end.
Spoiler
He faces no consequences whatsoever, and runs off to be a farmer in the ass end of nowhere. Maybe Dexter can drive by in his semi and have coffee with him.
was also really damn good. It was a great continuation of the Arthurian legend, and I loved the new spins on the knights. Their characterizations were mostly spot on, and futuristic samurai Galahad was just awesome. Gawain was the major exception. His characterization was a bit thin, and what was there didn't really match any of his various portrayals in the legend.

You've read the MAX series by Ennis right?
Finally getting into volume two of Savage Sword of Conan. Dude's been rather out of luck with the ladies for quite a few of the stories so far. And you gotta love the story where the local government is so dependent on its slaves that they just let the f**kers run rampant and eat people.

Yeah, I've got a few of the volumes and Welcome Back Frank too.
I loved Welcome Back Frank. The fight with the Russian was pretty much scene for scene in the '04 film.
Trying to get the newer Alien/Predator runs by Dark Horse, from 2009. Doing that in Australia is apparently very hard, and I'm not paying 30 bucks for international postage.

I thought it was really cool too, but I'm glad they fleshed out the Harry Heck character more. It's one of my favourite parts in the film. Wasn't it the story that got Hensleigh on board to do it?
Received the
Spider-Man by Roger Stern Omnibus in the mail a few days ago, and it's a thing of beauty. The f**ker is well over 1200 pages of early 80s Spidey tales from the creator of the Hobgoblin. That whole Hobgoblin story arc is included in here as well.
I've got some reading to do...

I'm thinking I might get Aronofsky's Noah graphic novel, if it exists in English.
It does, and it is pretty damn expensive.
Cool, all the references to it I've seen have been in French so far. Hmm, and Amazon has it for about $20. And the art is gorgeous.
I got a few issues of Dead Body Road. I've only read the first issue but it was into it. Love me some vigilante/revenge stories.
Oh and I started reading Batman: Year One too. I've seen the animated film they made and I quite enjoyed it. The novel makes Gordon even more ruthless. I'm actually him more interesting to read about than Bruce Wayne.
After I've finished Year One, DBR, and caught up with The Punisher I think I'll have to give The Dark Knight Returns a read. ...maybe finish Batman: Earth One too.
Moon Knight 2I think it dropped the ball already. I just didn't feel like this issue did anything.
Ultimate Spider-Man 200Thank the gods I actually been following what has been going on, otherwise I would have been lost. Whole issue is a tribute to Pete, seeing most of the characters in this issue imagine what Peter could have been like in 10 or 15 years time was pretty cool. I felt bad for Kitty Pryde when it was her turn to say what Pete's future could have been like.
The last panel better not be what I think it is.

First immediate thought is that they are bringing back Peter alive. Second and more logical thought is that they are bringing in Peter Parker, but that he'll be a perfect clone or some such. Either way, it looks like freaking Peter to me.

I have read some of the issues, but not all. What I've heard and seen of it seems pretty good. Doc Spidey is an interesting character for sure.
I'm about half way through the Noah graphic novel at the moment. The plot isn't hugely different from the film so far, but there are a few missing elements. That being said, the art is gorgeous, even if I prefer the look of the Watchers from the movie. Everything almost has a John Carter feel to it, if a lot less technologically advanced. Oh, and Mehtuselah just has a giant Kabbalistic diagram on the wall of his cave for some reason.

I've been getting it from #1 and I really like it. I like this darker but still snarky version of Spider-man.
Just started picking up Captain Marvel, the first run was excellent and this series is shaping-up to be great too. Two issues in, and it's good. The only bad thing is it has hoped around time periods a little, hopefully next issue it gets straightened out.
Awesome. That's been on my to read list.
I know Emma Rios did the art for the first volume, and her work on Doctor Strange Season One was fantastic.

Hopefully when the inevitable movie gets closer they do one.

OK, I had some vacations, so I was able to read some things I had in the playlist:
Hawkeye #10-12
I'm still having a good time with this, #9 was a bit in the boring/generic side, but #11 was terrific as the story is completely centered around Hawkeye's dog and the art is incredible. #12 I really liked it, it's Hawkeye's brother story, and the character is very likable :D
Avengers Arena #12-18
I loved this series in the beginning and it became more and more interesting, but these final episodes were a mess. There's too much battle and some characters have new powers that it seems were introduced "just because" with no actual build up, plus the resurrection of some dead characters so the idea kind of lost sense.
I think the plot became convulted because they were warned there was going to be cancelled so they felt they could salvage whatever they could from the plot, but seriously it was terrible :/ Ah, and there was like at least 1 issue of complete filler that brought nothing to the table. Really bad.
Daredevil Vol 3 (aka "Mark Waid's Daredevil") #1-14
I came with high hopes for this, I've heard it was incredible. And I really didn't like it. My previous experiences with Daredevil were Born Again and Fall of Kingpin, I loved the "grim and gritty" aspect of the character, but I knew this was going to be different.
But this DD felt forced, I mean, don't want to sound repetitive, but it felt like "a poor man's Spider-Man", the character felt nothing special to me and sometimes I wished I was reading Spider-Man instead, the general tone was sort of tongue-in-cheek specially with the main character but it felt so forced.
The episodes are really inconsistent in quality. The first ones are practically a mess, specially the battle against Klaw, I didn't understand one thing of the sci-fi mumbo-jumbo, couldn't discern the situation and simply didn't enjoy it at all. Some others, like Daredevil trying to guide some kids during a snowstorm, felt just boring and senseless, I just kept flipping the pages because nothing of it caught my attention.
I didn't care at all about the subplots or the support characters other than the blind boy, they were just BORING!
The "Megadrive" plot is the most interesting I read, the battle with the Bruiser was pretty good... But again, it felt just like reading Spider-Man.
Disappointed on this, and I've lost a little respect for Daredevil :/
Superman: Earth One Volume 2
So, if this is the "Ultimate Superman", the thing is kind of good. I remember reading volume 1 and liking some ideas there. This one is good on Clark's story, but not a big step. The villain is Parasite, which kind of makes sense, but it's still a generic Superman villain.
I liked how they approached to some issues Superman has, specially the fact that he's depowered at one point of the story and he feels terrible vulnerable, beautiful thoughts. The worst part was Daily Planet, Lois story didn't go anywhere, Jimmy was there just because, and the "reinvention" of Luthor (or should I say The Luthors, because now they're a married couple?) still has to convince us with the pay off.
The art is one of my main issues, I plain don't like it, and there are like 3 or 4 new male characters that looks almost the same.
Overall, I still give it a thumbs up, but I don't know if it would be better suited as a monthly title like the Ultimate comics, or to keep being released in the "graphic novel" format...
Not much of a comic guy, but here's a list of what I have.
- Aliens (Book 1), have two copies for some reason
- Aliens: Newt's Tale
- Aliens: Genocide
- Aliens: Vol 2
- Aliens: Stronghold
- Aliens: Rogue
- Predator: Kindred
- Predator: Omnibus - Vol 1
- Alien vs. Predator: Civilized Beasts
I remember years ago Dad actually talked to a guy who said he could get all of the Alien, Predator and AvP Omnibus volumes... I wonder whatever happened to that?
IDW Announces Silent Hill Downpour: Anne's Story (http://www.silenthillparadise.com/1/post/2014/04/idw-publishing-announce-silent-hill-downpour-annes-story-comic.html)
f**k yes. More of Tom Waltz SH is never bad thing. The title could be a lot better, though.
So Superman For Tomorrow was pretty decent. I've always enjoyed Jim Lee's art so I had no problems there. The story got a little confusing at times, but the beatdown between Superman & Zod at the end was brutal as f**k.
How many buildings got smashed? :P :laugh:
A lot, but it was nowhere near Man of Steel level destruction. :laugh:

I had the same problems with the story but I thought it was pretty good.
The best Superman stories I've read so far include Red son, Kingdom Come, Birthright, and I just recently read both volumes of Superman: Grounded and I personally thought they were fantastic.
Anyone else read Grounded?
Currently a few issues into All-Star Superman and it's f**king superb. The art from Quitley is great. I never used to like his art, but I've come to appreciate it more. The strange off-beat humor that Morrison tosses around is also welcomed. The issue in which Superman gives Lois Lane his powers for a day was one of the best issues/stories between those two characters I've read in a long time. Maybe that giant Lois Lane book has some good ones in it, eh Shas? ;)

Yeah.
All Star Superman is wonderful! *___*
My last reads:
JLA: CRY FOR JUSTICEOK. This is a pretty bad comic. The premise is basically Green Lantern pissed off because of Batman's death and he decides to get active and go take vengeance of villains, by tracking down anything "evil" and dismantling the evil organizations. The other part is Starman and Congorilla... Doing the same. Villain is Prometheus.
I can describe this story as phenomenally boring. It's 7 issues, but the things start getting in motion until #6, IIRC. The rest is simply the characters talking and talking and meeting other heroes and villains, but everything seems inconsequential. Practically in every page you have one or two new characters popping up just for the sake of being added to the collection of people in this comic, and they do nothing but saying something that goes nowhere.
The two stories never meet, so there's no point.
I got to say, I kind of liked #7 because the battle is good, and there's a couple twists, but 6 long issues to build up to that? It's one of the worst comics I've read so far. By the way, I didn't like the art, that's seen as the only redeeming factor of this book. LOL.
Do I regret of having read this? Well, no. Not really. But it was a terribly boring experience, where I could have been doing anything else.
SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1-10OK!! I finally got my hands over these, after reading the last 60
Amazing Spider-Man issues or so, and I think it's great!
Although many people complained about Peter Parker's death (which, by the way, was completely built up in the
Amazing series), I think this experiment of Otto in Peter's body is excellent, very interesting and entertaining.
You know, there's no comic book that equals Spider-Man, it's the upbeat and I love all the bright art. The plots are great, the battles are great, the characters too (there's a couple new characters thrown there, like Massacre and a new midget love interest for Otto that I turned out to love), a lot of interest ideas, clear narrative and dialogues and great storytelling by Dan Slott. I even found myself digging Humberto Ramos's art.
If there's a great comic book I could recommend to anyone that want to jump in the comics bandwagon, it has to be this :)
Quote from: First Blood on Apr 22, 2014, 12:50:34 AMThe issue in which Superman gives Lois Lane his powers for a day was one of the best issues/stories between those two characters I've read in a long time. Maybe that giant Lois Lane book has some good ones in it, eh Shas? ;)
It actually has that very issue. :D
The shot of the two of them kissing on the moon is a favorite.
I just finished All-Star Superman. It was twelve issues of wonderful bliss. It such a refreshing and interesting take on the character. For a character that's supposedly invincible Morrison paints Superman as a character that's very much vulnerable. He's dying. He doesn't have much time. When you're Superman how do you deal with something like that? This was a thinking man's Superman story. Yes there's action but it doesn't dominate or over impose the story. It's fast, quick and exciting – as it should be when it comes to the Man of Steel.
Also there's a nice little quote in here from Jor-El that some might recognized as being used in Man of Steel.
I'll eventually read All-Star, even if I disagree with the widespread notion that it has the "best origin evar" for Superman.
It didn't feel like an origin story to me at least. I mean there's literally one page in the beginning dedicated to his origin.
Birthright still trumps all as my favorite Supes origin story.

I've been reading Dead Body Road and The Activity recently, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some other similar comics, Preferably ones that have been collected into volumes?
I'm not well versed in comics at all, and stumbled upon both of them by accident.
Hmm. Maybe the comic based on 2 Guns or The Losers? Heard Thief of Thieves is good too.
Thanks. I like heist films so I'll definitely have to give Thief of Thieves a look, and The Losers.
...it never occurred to me to check out The Losers, especially after seeing the film.
Not a problem man. Glad I could help. :)
Well, I received a $50 Amazon gift card for my birthday and used part of it to order All-Star Superman.
^ Goooooooood.
Just finished War of the Green Lanterns. A Geoff Johns romp I've been meaning to read for a while. Uh, it was a lot of fun. It's really fast paced and doesn't give you much down time. It is a war...afterall. When Hal & Guy got in the super secret jet, was one of the best parts.

The main problem people seem to have with Byrne's take on the character is that Clark Kent is the real identity and Superman is the "fake" one. If you can look past that, I think you'll enjoy it. The artwork is nice, but since it's Byrne, you already knew that. 8)

Volume 2 is pretty alright. They take the character in a bit different direction that I'm not sure I can get behind, but it's an interesting read. They also introduce Lex, and his wife... Lex. :D

It's a little unnerving that Lex looks like Garry Oldman. :laugh:
I didn't even make that connection. :D
I've read the first six issues or so of Byrne's run on Superman, and it wasn't bad. As I recall, there's a thought balloon where Clark describes his mind as a fortress of solitude, but that's it. And I actually like the idea of Clark being the real identity. It makes a lot of sense given that he's been Clark Kent his whole damn life.

OK, I read The Umbrella Academy.
I had read some good reviews on these books, but I didn't really like them. It's no secret they're written by Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance, so it seemingly was a surprise that they were "better than expected", but I was not impressed by any mean.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2F7%2F76%2FUmbrellaAcademy.jpg&hash=3271962212ca5e42eaf58a743f858bf58d596030)
First volume is... Well, kind of decent, kind of meh. Gabriel Bá's art is, I would say mediocre. I've seen other artists drawing with similar art styles and they're a little better, but Bá, at least in this title, is not really something to highlight.
My main complaint is that the comic is simply not good enough. The characters are, I would say, they're well written, well conceived and that. But they're not good enough.
In fact, characters like The Rumor, it's clear he said "OMG, this would be a very cool idea for a superpower", but didn't really know how to manage it during the comic, so it's like a big incompetent waste.
Way is trying to create a weird and colorful universe, but for me, it's a little forced, the character development is competent but not good enough. To me it seems like the guy knew what he wanted these characters to start and where to end in every volume, but the development itself is not powerful enough, the result is not very convincing. So, the resolution of every volume is sort of good, but the plot itself is sort of messy.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mychemicalfreak.com%2Fwp%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2009%2F01%2Flobby3.jpg&hash=5e456d703a5f4ef3c90e14d8b1e28293a8b6ebc5)
Second volume is I would say, less than good. My main problem is the puerile things he introduces in this universe: The classic time-travel plot device, plus a "time police" squad created to blah blah blah... Those things allowed him to introduce sort of "weird-looking" characters, like some nazi guys with animal dolls for heads, or a sort of robot with a fishman for head, to me he's like "ha, ha, this weird this cool", it looks like something taken from a music video, not actually a good thing for a story, just too forced.
Don't let some really cool character designs like The White Violin fool you into think this is a terrific comic; Way put the looks before the actual consistency of the character, which is absolutely contraire to what real guys like Mike Mignola in the Hellboy universe does...
I'd say the final two issues in this are good. The story was quite clever, but the rest is not really good. Also, there's quite a bit of shocking violence and gore, gratuitous actually, and meh, I didn't like it, this time it exactly felt like what some pretentious emo musician would do for a comic book :/

Character's deaths in comic books? That's serious business :o
I always liked Marvel's Ultimate universe because it didn't have to be affected by the status quo, and thus a character's death meant something, because they stayed dead.
But apparently Peter Parker is coming back in this universe so that was thrown out the window at some point.

Well, I remember Gwen and Beast's death were undone later in the Ultimate comics.
Also, these Ultimate Universe deaths were pointless and didn't have any real significance other than the character just being killed. There was no closure on the character or something. They just pissed me off so much T___T
Ultimatum killed people off left and right. It was awful, I'll agree there. A lot of the people that died shouldn't have died. Gwen never technically died, considering the current Gwen isn't the original. She's also a homage to the many Gwen clones of 616.

Peter Parker death was terrible. Harry Osborn death was terrible. Hulk's death was kind of terrible too (I don't remember if it was undone or not).
In Ultimatum, every single death was terrible in every aspect.
In the Ultimate universe, they seemed to kill people just because. Their deaths, or even their lives, didn't made any significance to me. They were just... Terrible.
Well, I got to admit I liked Gambit's death. Gambit was there such a short-lived character, that I ended up loving his little story.
But what pisses me off is the incompetence of the authorities, and the fact the good guy is the one who dies and the bad guy is the one who lives.
Green Goblin escaped from SHIELD simply because of Fury's f**king stupid management, then he killed Harry and Peter by punching them once and again, and he simply survived and was taken back to the SHIELD prison.
Remember Ultimatum? Wolverine was destroyed by some beam or something, Cyclops killed by a sniper gunshot in the f**king head, and what about Sabretooth? Alive and ready to kill some more people. He kicks off his return by killing some nice guys in Ultimate Comics: X and receiving not any kind of punishment!
Like I said, the Ultimate Universe simply pisses me off so much, and Brian Michael Bendis sucks, by the way.
Seriously, f**k the Ultimate Universe, although Ultimatum was apparently though as the "end" of their comic book universe, the comics that came after were not only very little interesting, but share no resemblance at all with anything from the Marvel universe. That Ultimate universe just went right to the shit.

Green Lantern: The End
Well here it is, Geoff Johns' last story arc before leaving the character he helped reinvent more than a decade ago. Suffice to say it's good; very good.

A few excerpts from Astonishing X-Men, which I found hilarious.
Spoiler
Beast: My friends -- my world -- at stake, and you're still hiding something important.
Abigail Brand: It ain't relevant.
Beast: I'll decide that.
Abigail Brand: It's personal.
Beast: And here I am in your personal space so go ahead and open up.
Abigail Brand: I am so hot for you right now I could frikkin' pass out. (Awkward silence) Told you it was personal.
(Spider-man hallucinates saving the world by using a lot of webbing)
Spider-man: YES! Woo hoo! I did it! I...waaaaait a second...
Beast: I guess I'll start. I'm fairly certain I hate you.
Abigail Brand: Well, that's kind of the point. I need someone to hate me. Professionally. I'm good at -- well, I'm uniquely qualified for -- my job. But I made some crap calls this time around, and we both lost men we shouldn't have. You're smarter than any dozen guys and you'll question my every waking gesture. On the job, there's nothing I could use more.
Beast: And off the job?
Abigail Brand: Pretty much wanna break you like a pony. It's a win-win.
Beast: You kidnapped us.
Abigail Brand: We're not past that yet?
Shadowcat: It was four hours ago.
Abigail Brand: The Breakworld's psychics - they call 'em the Augurs - they hunted for the X-man destined to destroy their world and the mighty Colossus got the nod. I'm assuming you're as mystified by this as the rest of us, Rasputin.
Colossus: No. I'm not. I have been planning to destroy the Breakworld since I was a child.
Everyone stares in silence.
Colossus: This is why I don't make so many jokes. I never know when is good.
Hisako: I have a test on Wednesday. I'm not an X-Man, I shouldn't...I mean I can't--I have a Chemistry test.
Wolverine: Take off the suit.
Hisako: That's not really an option.
Wolverine: You wanna cry on my bubbling, skinless shoulder? You're in that suit 'cause you're an X-man. You're an X-Man 'cause I seen you fight and I want you on the team. But if I'm wrong, if you're just a whining teenager gonna freak out on a hostile alien planet and cost me time, then lose the suit and go die. We got worlds to save.
[Hisako gets teary-eyed as her aspiration to be an X-Man is fulfilled]
Hisako: "Armor"
Wolverine: "Armor". Hunh.
Armor: Is it taken?
Wolverine: I don't think so. It'll work for a name. Kinda on the nose...
Armor: Well it gets to the point.
Wolverine: Yeah, it's very direct -- I'm thinking of calling myself "Claws".
Armor: Not "Stench"?
Wolverine: Shut up and let me heal.

Stark leaves after a few issues and he decides that what's going on in space is very important. Therefore they are sending Avengers out on rotating shifts with the guardians to observe and report basically so the avengers always know what's coming. I agree with the fact the earth-centric issues suck but it's still very cosmic, funny , and an awesome read

I am really enjoying Byrne's Superman so far. There's a certain level of maturity to it. The stories don't feel dumb or lame, they're perfect and touch on a lot of different themes. Last story I read was about a character called Bloodsport -- who thinks the war in 'Nam is still going on, and takes out his frustrations on the citizens of Metropolis.
All-Star Superman came in the mail today. Time to see if it lives up to the hype. :)

I finished All-Star Superman. A lot of it was genuinely excellent, but some of it felt like Grant Morrison was just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what stuck.

I can't, my allegiance to Spidey is too strong :P
I was a major Spidey fan as a kid and it feels nostalgic having him back. :D
I'm about halfway through the Superior Spider-Man. I know I'm late but I'm catching up. I love this arc so much and I love seeing Doc Ock as Spidey. It's really pulled me back into comics again.
It was pretty hit-or-miss for me. I really think it went out with a bang, though. Even if the final issue felt a bit rushed.
Personally, I loved the entire arc and it's also what got me back into the series.
I haven't had any issues with it thus far. I need to go buy the Superior Venom collection, Goblin Nation and the team ups some time this week as I just finished book 4. I'm honestly not sure what to begin reading next (besides reading the new Amazing Spider-Man comics). I'm thinking of buying the Scarlet-Spider series and perhaps Spider Island, but I've been told Agent Venom is pretty good (which worried me because Venom is/was my favorite villain) and the newer Thunderbolts are as well. I've also seen a Superior Carnage comic which I may look into.
Avengers vs. X-Men
This was pretty decent but not great. The Phoenix Force is head for Earth and it's going to take control of a mutant called Hope. She's the messiah for all of mutant kind. So the Avengers knowing the Phoenix Force is dangerous and deadly try and get the girl whilst the X-Men knowing the Phoenix Force is dangerous and deadly try and protect the girl. They fight. There's big battles and 'splosions and stuff. I felt the story jumped the shark when a few members of the X-Men got possessed by Phoenix and became these God like entities, particularly Cyclops.
As far as Marvel mega events go, think I'll give Age of Ultron and Infinty a look next.
Batman Volume Four – Zero Year – Secret City
This was great. It's Scott Snyder and Greg Cupullo's take on the Batman origin. We've seen this type of thing done a hundred times before. But Snyder changes things up a bit. I like that Bruce relied more on disguises before he donned the cape and cowl. His first major threat is the Red Hood gang led by...someone who will become his greatest enemy. Fantastic art makes it a fun and flashy adventure.

Pretty much. The story would have probably worked better as a comedy anyways. :D

I saw that this morning. I'm still thinking it has to be a definite clone, cus it doesn't make sense otherwise.
Just read a few stories about Batman tracking down criminals.. in his completely ordinary looking brown 30s car. :laugh:

Annihilation Omnibus should be crash landing at my door step in a few days. I think it's a good warm up before the GotG TPB arrives sometime in August.
It pretty much has all the major players from Marvel's cosmic/outer space spectrum. Thanos, Drax, Star-Lord, Nova, Silver Surfer etc.
I've only got one issue left in The Batman Chronicles. I'm not used to Batman spouting so many one liners. And even Robin is killing people this early on in the run. He literally knocks a few guys off a building. :laugh:

It's pretty good so far. Under closer examination the Nova Corps are a complete rip-off of the Green Lantern Corps. And Drax is cool as f**k.

Awh yesss 8) Have ROcket and Groot appeared in that yet? I love the way Abnett and Lanning write them. :D
Just read the first five issues of Kathryn Immonen's run on Journey Into Mystery featuring Sif. Really cool stuff. Feels very at home alongside the current Thor: God of Thunder series (gonna be reading volume 3 of that soon), and I love having Sif as the main character. Too bad this got cut short, but at least I still have another five issues to read :)
Spider-Man by Roger Stern Omnibus
I finally finished this. It was a 1200 page f**king tomb. But this book was very good. It starts off a little wonky but man; once Stern introduces the Hobgoblin it just takes off. This is some of the best Spider-Man work in the last 30 years. The artists are varied but you can catch a young John Romita Jr. here just nailing these panels.
Superman: The Man of Steel Volume Three
John Byrne's Superman continues in this volume. I thought this one was pretty decent; not nearly as good as the origin story in volume one or the New Gods storyline in volume two. This one felt like a team-up volume so to speak. Superman is fighting big baddys with Hawkman & Hawkwoman, Green Lantern and Etrigan the Demon.
Green Arrow Volume One: The Midas Touch
I liked this. It's not groundbreaking by any means but since Arrow has appeared on television I've wanted to read more of the emerald archer. This is kind of weird. He's not operating in Starling City but Seattle. Dan Jurgens art is serviceable. I liked it when he was working on Superman. I'll probably pick up the next couple of volumes.
Have to give The Flash a look too.
Wow, this is awesome! Marvel is going to bring back the original Guardians of the Galaxy in a new series titled Guardians 3000.

Superman: The Man of Steel Volume Four
Things got a little weird in this volume. Back in the 80s DC's continuity was completely f**ked, they had multiple Earths with multiple characters, not only was this frustrating to the reader but also DC Comics. So they decided to have an event called Crisis on Infinite Earths. The goal being to implode the DC universe and bring it back to one Earth and one continuity.
After that was done, all was good and John Byrne did his Superman re-launch. The problem was, Superboy was still showing up in the ongoing issues of Legion of Superheroes. With Byrne's Superman, he didn't get the costume until adulthood. So you see the problem here. If that's the case, then who is Superboy? So John Byrne and Paul Levitz created a story arc to deal with this issue. The world in which Superboy is part of is an alternate What-if? Remember the scene in Back to The Future II when Marty McFly goes back home and everything is run down and crime is everywhere? Then he sees that giant hotel called Biffs. It's sort of like that. It's an alternate timeline, and the story itself is handled pretty well.
I usuallt just stick with the first volume when reading The Man of Steel. :laugh:
You've never read the other volumes? :laugh:
I have, but it's the origin story that stuck with me. The rest isn't as good, I'm afraid.
I stick with Birthright for the origin story.
The Man of Steel, Birthright and Secret Origin are all good in my opinion.
Then we have Secret Identity which is something else entirely. 8)
Age of Ultron
What a convoluted mess this turned out to be. Ultron is insane. We know that. Ultron takes over the world and destroys it. Now it's up to the remaining heroes to go back in time and stop Hank Pym from creating Ultron. So this is Marvel's version of Days of Future Past – a story that isn't exclusive to the X-Men. Well I got to say after reading it, the story comes off pretty shitty. The payoff is pretty lame. They convince Pym to upload a virus into Ultron so at the exact moment he's about to go bananas, Pym can upload the virus and destroy Ultron. And he does. Ultron explodes. The world is saved. Yawn. Brian Hitch's art was the real draw for me.

LOL, you should have heeded my warnings. Omg dude, that f**king giant convoluted mess with Wolverine just got too stupid by the end. This event did NOTHING, all it did was bring ANGELA from freaking SPAWN into the 616 Universe, and some shithouse event with Cataclysm in the Ultimate universe. All because OH NO, WE HAVE TIME TRAVELED TOO MUCH THAT THE SPACE TIME CONTINUUM IS STARTING TO CRACK AND CREATE RIFTS INTO OTHER UNIVERSES!
Absolute stupidity.

Long story short: Neil Gaiman sold her to Marvel as a big middle finger to Todd MacFarlane.
Infinity
NOW this was good. It's pure space opera via Marvel. There's a lot going here, and it's easy to get swept up in it and lose sight of what's happening elsewhere. But Hickman does do a fine balancing act. It's up to Earth's Mightest Heroes to stop the Builders. An ancient race hell-bent on destroying the Galaxy let alone Earth. Then there's Thanos who's looking for his son. He wants to kill him...just cuz.
Not much of an armor fan but Captain America's current suit is f**king sweet.
Infinity was f**king great. Glad to see someone else read it.
Well, I guess I should go back and finish reading that.
Read Batman/Superman Vol 1 the other day. Really enjoyed it - very interesting story and some lovely artwork in there.
And finished Superior Spiderman today. So sad it's finished. I was really enjoying Doc Ock's run. He added some needed weight to the idea. Will be fun seeing how Peter handles the aftermath though.
I need this. Now. (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/348881-details-on-boom-studios-big-trouble-in-little-china-comic-series-revealed)

I just finished the Punisher Max Omnibus by Jason Aaron and it was bloody, violent and explicit in the best way possible. It's the best way to do this character. Not to f**k around, let it all hang out and leave nothing on the table. That's what Aaron did here. This is Frank's last battle, literally. For a character that's been waging war on crime for 30 years Aaron set up his demise beautifully, poetically. The book also explores Frank's origins during the 'Nam and after. It's an interesting psychological study about the character. He failed as a father, husband and a family man. All he knows is killing. That's what Aaron explores here. Loved it.
Welp, I just finished The Metabarons: Ultimate Collection. It was one damn fine piece of space opera with a lot of exquisite cray cray thrown into the mix. The story was fantastic, even if one or two of the plot points were a bit far-fetched. My favorite character was easily Steelhead. I'd explain, but I really can't do him justice in words.
Now I kind of want to track down The Incal, even if the average price for the collection out there is ridiculous. I also happen to find all the different Incal books kind of confusing. Oh, and f**k Humanoids for spoiling one of the aspects of that series in a text blurb before one of the additional parts of the Metabarons collection. >:(

several more times...because he didn't feel nothing.

I just ordered Spawn: Origins volume one. Got the hardcover. I'm a 90's kid, so I guess this is for me? Always heard that Spawn was that dumb kind of cool.
Animated series of Spawn is the shiz. If you haven't seen that, please get to that ASAP!
Got Hellboy and that spinoff series of it up next. I refuse to go trawling for random comics :P It's volumes/omnibus or nothing. Just wish more collections made it clear whether or not they are a jumping on point or not. The Hellboy one only tells me what story arc it is, which tells me nothing, so I had to Google it to find out.
I plan on reading Hellboy, and this list seems to be a good way of breaking everything down in order:

Ah, looks like I got it right. The first two on that list are what I ordered. I don't think I have to buy them in that exact order though. I should be able to stick to just one series and then read the spinoff.
Rereading some of the Metabarons stuff...
Jodorowsky is up there with the titans of scifi-fantasy for me. What an imagination....

Well, whether it's MCU out not I just meant movie tie-in in that it's coming out around this time to help promote the film (and to make money off of people looking forward to the film).
I think of the recent GotG stuff, the Rocket solo series is the one that most has my interest.
I spent some time re-reading Sinner's Reward and Past Life, the only two Silent Hill comics that don't completely suck monkey balls. I also finally picked up volumes two and three of the current Aquaman series. 8) The comedy has been significantly toned down from volume one, thank ye gods.

So the Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus arrived today. And it's f**king huge. Not only is it the main storyline but every tie-in issue that came out as well.
Aquaman Vol 3: Throne of AtlantisSo this was basically a heavily Aquaman focused Justice League story. Pretty good, but I don't like how they portray Superman as a big puss at times. Oh, and Superman and Wonder Woman dating is just strange. It's like they let a slash fic writer take over or something.

I'm assuming this is happening in the main Thor: God of Thunder comic, and what I've read of that (everything up to the end of the God Butcher story) has been really good so far. I have the third volume sitting on my shelf, the one with Malekith. Haven't read it yet though.
Is it just happening like *blam!* he's a she, or is there a reason in the story?

We'll find out as more info gets released, so far this is all we know.
So they're basically recycling what they did with Loki that one time, only with Thor.
Pretty sure the article I read said something about Thor no longer being worthy to pick up the hammer, and a woman picked it up and became the new Thor.
Twitter reactions to Thor's sex change. I'm in agreement with Whedon. ;D

Haha, no complaints on that one. :D
She's kind of horrible though.
And it's not Thor getting a sex change it's just someone else being able to use his powers. Like Beta Ray Bill. So I don't see the fuss.
Although it sort of reeks of gimmick.
Any money says that doesn't last much more than a year or two.

I just read Batman Incorporated Volume 2... And it was pretty good! :)
I had already read Volume 1 and even if it was great fun in some parts, the overall plot was really really complicated and hard to understand.
This second volume improved it with a generally more coherent plot and big fun all around. The main conflict is between Batman, Talia and Damian Wayne, and there are some very good symbolisms. The final battle is against "the Heretic" and it's so gorey and disturbing... I have to admit I read the whole volume only because I was intrigued with the gore, but in the end is actually a damn good story.
By the way, Bat-Cow rules XD

And now Sam Wilson is Captain America.
Lots of change going on with MARVEL. I'm liking it, at least they're not f**king up like DC with their continuity f**king shenanigans where we just learned that pre-52 Batman events DID happen, but completely contradict with the continuity of the New 52. Smart move DC, just ignore and not ignore what you want.
LOL, a complete Marvel reboot has been rumoured this last two months...
I just finished Superman Earth One Volume Two and was pretty disappointed with it. I am not sure what they were trying to do here. A run of the mill villain shows up who drains Superman's powers but Superman finds a way to defeat him. And that's it. They introduce the Luthors but it's only at the tail end of the book. It feels like an incomplete story. There needs to be more.
I am also working my way through Jason Aaron's Wolverine and the X-Men run. That's light hearted fun with the usual X-Men flare. Wolverine along with Iceman, Kitty and Beast open up the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. They're teachers who are trying to help young mutant kids. It's funny and adventurous. Much of the focus is on the mutant students, and not so much the teachers.
Tank Girl Vol 1

I'm not sure how I feel about Supes giving rebells access to their leaders, more or less giving them a free pass on murder. On one hand I like the dilemma they put Superman in. Interveining in foreign affairs isn't something you could easily do, even as a super powered alien, but on the other hand, I would have liked them to solve the problem differently.
Yeah, that scene felt off to me. Felt out of character.
I just read Brian Azzarello's Joker, which was pretty damn good. Lee Bermejo's art fits the writing perfectly. Other than this, I haven't read much comics in a while, but I'm thinking of going on a shopping spree at the end of August. Anyone want to throw some recommendations my way?
There's a follow-up to Joker called Noel.

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I haven't really followed Marvel or DC for the last year, so there's some catching up to do. I'm thinking of picking up the new GotG series and really get started on that (I've read some of the early issues), as well as catching up with Thor.

I stopped reading that after
The Court of Owls, which was two years ago, I think. Same goes for Wonder Woman. And Superman. And Action Comics. Man, I'm hopelessly behind... :-\
I'm gonna look around on Amazon and see what hardcovers catches my eye.
Batman Death of the Family is worth a read. So is Zero Year - Secret City.
I've heard good things about Death of the Family. Will check it out. :)

Someone linked me to a page where a bunch of Swedish nazis were shitting their pants over this (as well as female Thor). God damn morons. :D
I'm wondering if maybe this change reflects Marvel Studios' plans for movie Cap, since Evans only signed for six films and doesn't plan on renewing his contact. I know Bucky is the popular choice to replace him, but the recent comics have been going out of their way to kind of reflect the films and Falcon was a huge hit in The Winter Soldier.
Either one would work for me. But seeing as how Bucky have powers, he would seem to be the logical choice.

If you haven't read it, I definitely recommend the current Hawkeye series.
So after the recent news of where Jason Aaron is going with the Thor comics, I thought now would be a good time to jump back into
Thor: God of Thunder. After wrapping up the God Butcher story in issue 11, issue 12 takes a much more dialed back approach, but my God this issue was fantastic. I honestly teared up a bit reading it. It is an extremely powerful issue, and it really hit home with me. Whatever Aaron wants to do with Thor, I'm with him all the way. Everything up to this point has been wonderful.
EDIT: Just finished up "The Accursed," volume three of
Thor: God of Thunder. Another great entry in the series. Perhaps not as good as the two God Butcher volumes that came before it, but still an immense amount of fun. This take on Malekith is quite different than the one in
Thor: The Dark World (that's the only version of the character I had been exposed to prior to this) but I quite liked him. By the end the story took some pretty interesting twists that I wasn't expecting. I also really enjoyed the League of Realms, which is quite obviously calling back to the Fellowship of the Ring.
Much like how the volume opened up with a one-off story, it also closed on one, and that was quite fun as well. It featured young Thor and a dragon on Earth.
I can't wait for volume four to hit shelves, and after that the new
Thor series starring the female Thor, which is supposed to continue on from this run.
I am kinda glad Grant Morrison is off Superman: Action Comics. That last volume was a doozy. He really must do drugs when he writes. So I am looking forward to the new creative team when volume four arrives.
So, this exists...

New 52 Superman by Gentle Giant Studios.
Just finished reading The Infinity Gauntlet. This book most certainly lives up to the hype. The art is gorgeous, especially the panels featuring expansive space vistas and the giant cosmic beings that inhabit them. I loved seeing Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, and Adam Warlock take center stage opposing Thanos' might, and Thanos himself is wonderfully realized in all of his insane glory.
This book has a huge cast of characters, many of which only amount to cameos at most, but they presumably have more expanded roles in the tie-in comics that I have not read. Drax is every bit as dumb as Kiramid said he was. :D Death was great, though she didn't have as large a role as I would have expected, and I loved what they did with Nebula (though I have no idea what events happened prior to this series that left her in her current state).
Definitely a fantastic read. I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in Marvel cosmic, Marvel comics in general, or even just people that are fans of the films and want to get a peek at what the movies seem to be building up towards. As far as movies go, I most definitely want to see this story adapted in some form or another. Obviously there is no way that this story would be able to be told on screen the way it was on page, and major liberties would have to be taken, but the broad strokes of this story have the making for what could be a fantastic cap on the Marvel Cinematic Universe that seems to have been building up to an event of this scale since its incarnation. Throw some Guardians into the mix, drop a bunch of Earth heroes that Marvel Studios doesn't have access to, and flesh out a story where the heroes that remain can interact more directly with the galactic events at hand and this could potentially lay the foundation for a spectacular film. It'd have to be a loose adaptation, of course, but that's to be expected.

Yeah, I think the original press release referred to it as a series long collection, but somewhere along the line they split it into two volumes. The Annihilation event that preceded GotG is getting a complete run collection, I think. Have yet to read that, but I've heard nothing but great things.

GotG stands fine on its own, with Thanos Imperative making a nice cap to finish it off. That's how I did it.
The Star Wars – Based on George Lucas' original rough draft
This was different, and it is honestly quite good. It's very different from what we got but to a degree follows the same outline of A New Hope. The characters are in place but their roles are different. It's an interesting read that I'd recommend for any Star Wars fan. The art is great too.
Superman: Action Comics Volume Four – Hybrid
Got to say that I loved this volume. Grant Morrison leaves and a new team takes over. It's nice to read a story that doesn't have these mind numbingly weird concepts. The problem with Morrison is that he gets so wrapped up in his little world that some of the shit he writes goes over my head. It can be frustrating at times. This volume was a fun, nice read that was coherent. There is however one issue in this volume that's part of a larger cross-over event. Twas annoying but whatever. Also Tony S. Daniel draws a super cool and sexy looking Superman.

With the recent Dawn of Justice news, I started reading Superman/Batman Volume One by Jeph Loeb. I really liking this so far. It's got some great humor to it. And it feels like these characters need each other, depend on each other. You're thinking Superman is so powerful he doesn't need Batman. I feel Loeb did a fine balancing act. Granted I am only a few issues in, but yeah I like it.

Superman: Red Son
A wonderful 'What if' about what would happen if Superman crash landed in Russia instead of Smallville. I thought that this was pretty great. It had a great 50s Cold War feel to it. Superman is this champion for the Soviet Union whilst America is on the brink of collapse. However there were a few things I didn't really like. Such as making Batman a suicidal terrorist.

Picked up The Walking Dead Volumes 19-21.
Looks like I am a little behind. They have to kill off Negan. Christ I can't f**king stand that guy.

Excellent. It really is a fantastic run. ;D
I really hope to see Cosmo step up on the film sequel and take on the role he has here. Any characters in the comics you'd like to see in the next film?
Adam Warlock and he wasn't necessary in the book, Captain Mar-vell. :)

I'm actually reading that right now, having a lot of fun with it. :)
How old are you looking for? If you mean anything outside of the current run, the 2008 Guardians is the best you can get. It's just recently been rereleased in a two volume collection. The 2008 run builds up to The Thanos Imperative, and the recent Rocket and Groot stories in the book you posted actually spin off from that.
If you want the really old stuff, you're going to be getting a completely different team and it is going to be set in the future rather than the present day. Those Guardians are generally Vance Astro, Charlie-27, Yondu, Starhawk, and others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(1969_team) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(1969_team))
The original Guardians' story actually crosses over into the 2008 run in some very interesting ways.
They are going to begin publishing a series titled Guardians 3000 later this year, which I am extremely intrigued by. It seems to be a reinvention of the classic, future team of Guardians:

Oh I was just wondering if it was a decent Rocket/ Groot collection that you could pick up and not be completely lost by it. That's why it's so tough to get into Marvel/ DC for me, there's so much stuff you don't know where to start half the time.
You should be able to hop into it just fine. It contains their origins from back in the day, but from what I understand they are radically different then the current iterations. Haven't read those parts myself yet.
If you want a good introductory story that you can just jump into and have fun with, is recommend you just hop into the 2008 series. Seems to work for everyone, and that's the run that most inspired the film.

Um, that's Captain America's shield...
Yup.

In the 2008 run Vance Astro comes to our modern day from the future of an alternate timeline where he is now wielding Cap's shield... And it's wonderful. Things only get stranger from there.

Gotta link?
I'm reading Annihilation, the complete event with Tie-ins. The first part (Drax's tie-in) sucked balls and it was so slow and filler. Currently reading NOVA's part, and it's great :D
Yeah, Nova's bit was great. I liked Ronan's arc too.

Will do. Should be arriving any day now along with those Walking Dead trades.
I just finished the Annihilation event.
Silver Surfer tie-in was a little in the slow side, kind of boring and repetitive, but the final episode is worth it.
Super Skrull, well, I have always liked Super Skrull, but this is the first time, I like how they managed to make him still a villain but at the same time he's likable.
And Ronan's tie in... God! Movie Ronan, why couldn't you be something more like this?! :_(
Then the event itself... It was great :D I'm glad I read it.
Very cool storyline, everything connects and has a good closure, and Thanos and Galactus! Just wow. Cool management of those characters. It's funny I didn't know these characters Drax, Gamora, Ronan, Star-Lord... It feels weird after watching the movie looking at these characters, the original version, feels like a rather weird "alternate universe" ha ha xD
The tie-ins I think some of them could be more like 2 issues, or 3, because some of them had too much filler and were slow and boring, but in the end all of them are OK once you finish to read.
Looking forward to Annihilation Conquest, I'm going to read it next :D

^ That looks good!
Just started my Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus and I am loving it so far. They also explain why Drax is a moron at the moment.
Ha, why is that? I absolutely loved TIG, though I only read the main six issues. Didn't read any of the tie-in stuff.
He's been dead. So when Kronos reincarnated him, he was an imperfect reincarnation.
Ahh, makes sense. Is there a Thor tie-in? There's an off-hand comment made about Thor in the main series that I'm not going to spoil for you, but I'm wondering if it gets explained at some point.
Just checked the table of contents. No Thor issues, but strangely enough there's a bunch of Doctor Strange issues. :laugh: 8)
Yeah, Strange is a pretty big player in the series. Him, Adam Warlock, and Silver Surfer are probably the closest I'd say the story comes to having primary protagonists (since really, the series mostly focuses on Thanos). So that's all the more reason I'm quite happy that it seems almost inevitable that Strange's film will be coming soon. :D
Well, it was mostly just Adam Warlock doing the work, and Strange was his wingman, but yeah. :laugh:
And I'm still wondering what the hell happened with Spider-Man after he swung off screaming "MARY JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" early on. :laugh:
Just read the first issue of the main storyline.
Christ I didn't realize Thanos was such a love slave to Death. :D
"I will bathe the starways in your blood... and, uhh, other stuff."
I am quite enjoying Mepishto as his 'lackey' :laugh:
Aye, that was cool. That was actually my first time encountering Mephisto, I think. Can't remember if he was in the Doctor Strange: Season One graphic novel.
I ordered the next three volumes of the IDW Ninja Turtles comic. Next time there's a lull between TPB releases, I think I'll get the Micro Series volumes.
Saw a video review of this and felt compelled to get it.

Ennis sort of changed that dynamic. In his interpretation, killing and death has
always surrounded Frank. He can't escape it. Jason Aaron even touches on it further with his arc in MAX. I dunno, I liked that.

John Romita Sr. has done a variant cover for the latest Superman issue, and for the first time since the New 52 started, I can actually believe that this Superman is the very same that we've come to know over the years instead of the lame ass jerk wad that the New 52 turned him into.

Basically, he introduced, then killed, the Avengers and the Marvel Universe in his story.
Quote
For generations, life on Earth-8 passed like it does on our world. Largely uneventful, and when problems did arise, they were handled easily by the world's large population of super heroes. Until a day finally arrived like no other, and Earth-8's strongest heroes were forced to unite against a common threat. The Retaliators were born!Not quite what you were expecting? Perhaps that's the best way to describe this world, populated with heroes such as the patriotic power soldier known as American Crusader, the lightning-charged warrior god Wundajin, the massively-morphing, quick to anger monster known as the Behemoth and the scientifically-minded, elementally-powered foursome known as the Future Family. Alongside such figures as Machinehead, Ladybug, Stuntmaster and the "neo-human" heroes of the G-Men, they keep their world safe from threats like the destructive Lord Havok and the Extremists.
On Earth-8, a life of heroism often comes at great sacrifice to the man or woman behind the mask. Faith in heroes is in short supply and mistrust can run rampant. Perhaps the people of Earth-8 should talk to some of their alternate world counterparts, who turn out in droves for movies featuring the very heroes they're shunning.

The first two volumes of Dracula were pretty good. I know there's a volume three out there, but I don't have it yet.

Started reading my Star-Lord book and it's quite different from what I expected. The character (so far) is pretty different from what we've seen on screen. Granted the stories I am reading now are from the 70s and they've probably redefined, retconned, and reworked the character half a dozen times over the years.

I read the most recent stories featuring Star-Lord, and it's still damn different to the character from the movie. No probs, I like both versions :)
So...I ordered a bunch of Mark Waid Daredevil trades. Specifically volumes 3-6 and also ordered Daredevil: End of Days.
I blame the upcoming tv show for this little splurg.
ACTION COMICS #1 Breaks New Record; Near-Mint Copy Sells For $3.2 Million
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/staypuffed/news/?a=106537 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/staypuffed/news/?a=106537)
OK I just finished Annihilation Conquest.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flh3.ggpht.com%2F_inKv6l5yas0%2FSwpz1ZVj7zI%2FAAAAAAAAA28%2FehmnDH5QMJg%2FAnnihilationConquest_thumb.gif&hash=30628ca89a3b195d8e145599b9da5696c094c322)
The premise is simple: Following the Annihilation wave, the heroes made peace in the universe, but that changes when the kree robotic sentinels are possessed by the Phalanx, a race of robotic creatures; they are spreading their virus to possess all the creatures around the world, and destroying entire civilizations. The entire universe will have to join to fight the invasion.
Although is not as tight as Annihilation, it was not short of epic:
Annihilation: Conquest - Quasar.Quasar is following an inner voice that asks her to find a "saviour" to stop the Phalanx invasion.
This one's a little on the boring side, but the last issues are good; loved Moondragon transformation.
Annihilation: Conquest - Star-Lord.Star-Lord and a team are ensambled by the kree to stop the Phalanx.
Really good comics, this is the seminal Guardians, the team this time is: Star-Lord, Mantis (a telepath alien girl), Deathcry (a female shi'ar savage warrior), Bug (a grasshopper boy), Captain Universe (a righteous guy with cosmic powers), Rocket and Groot.
It's interesting to see how everything begins, and all the characters, including Mantis, Bug and Captain Universe are very cool; I'd like to see any of those in the movies. The art is also very good :)
Annihilation: Conquest - Wraith.Basically, this guy's an undead kree outlaw, who wants some revenge, gets catched by a Phalanx-possessed Ronan and finds out he has the power to stop the invasion.
This was probably the most boring miniseries, and practically unnecessary to read, the Ronan part is the only important part. Although I like the main characters's design, the art here is less than good.
Nova Tie-ins.Nova is fighting the Phalanx and he is made one of them.
This was GREAT. Truly truly great, if you want some solo hero adventures, this series is excellent, just like the Annihilation tie-ins were.
Also, seeing Gamora and Drax as ruthless villains was truly entertaining, great characterization.
Annihilation - Conquest (Miniseries).Ok, this was the big course. Only 6 issues wrapping everything around and it was completely awesome. The art is top-notch and the plot is really exciting. Quasar finds the High Evolutionary, the Star-Lord team is destroying the Phalanx tower, Adam Warlock is resurrected and by the end we find who is really behind the Phalanx invasion...
Spoiler
Ultron!
Also, I liked that it wrapped up some stuff from Annihilation, including the fate of Super Skrull and Praxagora.
Really recommended volume.
Also, I thing it could be a great idea to continue the Guardians of the Galaxy adventures from the movies
Spoiler
Because they could tie in with Ultron, who will appear in Avengers 2.
I highly recommend this comic book :D
Really need to read both Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest one of these days...

Issue one is pretty good. I like how the flashbacks are showing a different side to the story from the game, and the bit of interaction between Anne and the bus driver was nice and amusing... and it also got a little creepy once they get to Silent Hill. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who hasn't played Downpour, since this more or less spoils one of the major reveals from that game.

OK, update on my Marvel Cosmic readings :D
I finished reading
Annihilation: Conquest and
War of Kings, both of them very good books.
ANNIHILATION CONQUEST(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flh3.ggpht.com%2F_inKv6l5yas0%2FSwpz1ZVj7zI%2FAAAAAAAAA28%2FehmnDH5QMJg%2FAnnihilationConquest_thumb.gif%3Fimgmax%3D800&hash=e7ded9e016bc117f65c0223b74af8c2b07e11b07)
Annihilation Conquest is very similar to Annihilation, features more or less the same core cast, same writers, it's set after like one month of
Annihilation, this time the enemies are the Phalanx, a sort of robotic infenction that's taking over different planets and empires.
First part is Quasar (4 issues), this is Phylla-Vell and the telepath Moondragon, Phylla is being called by a mysterious being to look for a "saviour" or something, while evading the Phalanx attack. It's a little in the boring side, but the last two issues get exciting.
The next is Starlord (4 issues). This is basically the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Starlord is blamed because of the Phalanx invasion, and he's forced by the kree to form a team and free the kree empire from the invaders. The team this time is: Mantis (an odd telepath female alien), Bug (flirtatious bug boy or something like that), Captain Universe (Gabriel Vargas, a very boy-scoutish guy with cosmic powers), Deathcry (a heated Shi'ar woman warrior) Groot and Rocket Raccoon.
The cast is very likable, especially because I'm pleased by the members of these proto-Guardians that I didn't know, all of them very cool. Groot is unrecognizable, in this books he's a total prick, arrogant and prepotent lord. There are also deaths of some Guardians. But this is a comic book with a great sense of fun, recommended :)
Next is Nova (4 issues), the adventures of Richard Ryder continue, these are tie-in issues of the monthly Nova series, but they are great nonetheless. This involves Nova being attacked by the Phalanx, and later on he fights Gamora; to bring support, the Nova Core give Nova powers to an alien girl named Kor-El, but as she arrives, Richard is already under the Phalanx control. Hugely dramatic, and very good art; recommended.
The last part is Wraith (4 issues). This is a brand new character, he's the son of a kree scientist that was sent to a sinister dimension where he bonded with some weird dark symbiotes, that basically have the potential to destroy the Phalanx infection. I was excited because I was attracted by the character's design, but the art is muddy, I didn't like it. The story is kind of boring too, there's a possessed Ronan trying to convert Wraith to the Phalanx, and some kree rebels that want to free him; Wraith is forced to choose between vengeance and saving the universe, it's not very interesting.
And finally, the event itself. Quasar finds out who is the "savior": A resurrected Adam Warlock. Not to spoil much, they later find out who is actually behind the Phalanx:
Spoiler
Ultron!
Loved the connection.
By the end of the story, Nova arrives along with Drax and Gamora for the final battle (I don't know exactly how they joined him, since I didn't read the regular series), so basically you get hints on how the Guardians movie roster came together. Super Skrull and its team also show up in the final battle, it's nice to see Kl'rt's story advancing. We also discover there's a Pikachu in the Nova Corps:

This is a great story, although it starts a little slow and the menace is not as "big" as Annihilation, it's still a damn great saga. Check it out!

You mean by the author? You just go to a convention or something where they're at and ask them to sign it. As to whether or not it would bother them? Everybody is different, but I assume most authors wouldn't really care at all.
Anybody have any recommendations for some good Marvel comic arcs that are pretty recent or are happening right now?

Yes I am going to go to a convention and getting it signed by the author and the artist. I am just wondering where should I get the damn thing signed on. Does it have to be on the cover? There is way to much on the cover, on the back or where do I get this thing signed?
Inside the cover, on the front or on the back.
I picked up the first two issues of The Death of Wolverine last night. I hope this series is good.

Keeping with my Marvel Cosmic reviews:
WAR OF KINGS(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Ff%2Ffe%2FWar_of_Kings_1.jpg&hash=0545447e7a57b296dcd8fa1423a2e9fa685cdf3a)
This was the next cosmic Marvel crossover, different writers so it's nothing like the Annihilation duology. This has the story spread in these titles:
- War of Kings.
- Guardians of the Galaxy.
- Nova.
- War of Kings: Darkhawk/Ascension.
- Imperial Guard.
- Inhumans.
And a couple others I'll mention later.
The story begins after
Secret Invasion: Black Bolt, King of the Inhumans, is back and now he decides to take over their enemies. First, he destroys the skrull empire, and next, he wants to conquer the kree.
The other big part of the story involves the opposite force, the Shi'ar. This empire is now led by Vulcan (Gabriel Summers, brother of Cyclops and Havok, from the X-Men), who after a conflict with the Shi'ar Empire, became its king. So, Vulcan launches a plan to destroy and conquer all the other galactic empires, supported by the Imperial Guard (led by the supermanesque Gladiator).
I didn't remember many things about the Inhumans, and I stay away from X-Men titles, so I didn't know much of the background or previous events, BUT, Marvel released a special issue titled "War of Kings: Saga", that basically contains everything you must know about the mythology of the Inhumans and the odyssee of Vulcan to understand and enjoy this comic. And that's just perfect, a good synopsis but not overstaturated of details. Really REALLY recommended.
So, the kree and King Ronan surrender to Black Bolt and let the Inhumans to rule them. I found this quite interesting, Black Bolt's plan in to detonate the Terrigen Crystals and turn every one in the universe into an Inhuman, so the race distinctions will no longer exist. Since the kree improved themselves via genetic experiments, they can no longer evolve, Ronan agrees the Inhumans (products of kree experimentation – basically what are the 'Homo superior' mutants to .humans) will rule over the kree. As part of the plan, Ronan marries Crystal, from the Inhumans. Of course, the Shi'ar appear to ruin the party and that. So, the "War of Kings" begins.
I found interesting to know more about Ronan's feelings, and his relationship with Crystal is pretty cute. We have a little of every one else of the Inhuman family (gotta love Karnak, Lockjaw, Maximum, Gorgon).
The Tie-ins:
Spoiler
The miniseries X-Men: Kingbreaker (7 issues) detail us on how the Starjammers (Rachel Summers/Phoenix, the shi'ar Phoenix-powered swordsman Korvus, Raza, reptilian Cho'od, Havok and his wife Polaris –daughter of Magneto) are trying to defeat Vulcan and reestablish Lilandra in the throne. This was more or less cool, a little filler, but still cool.
The other titles are tie-in issues. In Nova, Richard Ryder was kicked out of the Nova Corps when the Nova Mind or whatever is called, created a new base on Ego the Living Planet, and now he has 48 hours or he will die because of radiation or something. Rich turns into the new Quasar (because Phylla-Vell was killed in the GotG monthly comic, which I didn't read) and he learns Ego has actually infected the big mind, and amidst of that they have to deal with the war.
The Guardians of the Galaxy this time are formed by Starlord, Drax, Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Cosmo (the telepath dog), Mantis, Bug, Adam Warlock, Martyr (a resurrected Phylla-Vell), and later Moondragon reborn and a guy from Earth called Jack Flag (that I found to be the most boring character of the team).
The story begins when they find Major Victory (from the future Guardians) frozen in an iceberg (yeah, a space iceberg .___.), they revive him and find out there's a time-space rupture they must prevent to exist. They theory that it's created because of the clash between the Inhumans and the Shi'ar Empire, so they try to use diplomacy to stop them.
These tie-ins particularly are kind of complicated, but the situations come out quite funny.
Finally there's the Darkhawk/Ascension miniseries, it begins with 2 "Darkhawk" issues and the story continues with a title change ("Ascension", 4 issues more). This story has Darkhawk, an old and obscure Marvel character, basically a teenager that finds a mysterious crystal that grants him a space armor. First 2 issues include the original origin story of the character reprinted, so it's kind of easy to follow.
What happens, this time Darkhawk meets another guy with a similar armor and crystal. He learns the crystals are from the Shi'ar, part of a very old force called "Raptors" whose duty was to guide the advance of the Shi'ar civilizations. DH learns how to use better his crystal, unlocks new powers, and that.
This series is not much of a thing, it's mostly action/flashy art. There's a couple nice moments of empathy with the main character, but nothing that blows your mind, and it kind of ties up with the main story.
Ah, and there's some minor tie-ins more, the b]Son of Hulk[/b] one-shot has practically nothing to do with the plot so skip it.
And 2 issues of the "War of Kings: Warriors" special title, that consists of standalone stories focused in some characters of the event (Gladiator, Blastaar, Crystal, Lilandra). First issue is half-interesting; second one, BOOORING.
So, the main series,
War of Kings (6 issues) is really exciting, I'm not sure it can stand alone without the help of the tie ins, but the last 2 or 3 episodes are extremely thrilling, including many badass moments, dramatic battles, tragic deaths and much more. I liked it had truly great moments with the Guardians, the Inhumans, Ronan, and specially Gladiator from the Imperial Guard, who is a total badass and turns out to be one of my new favorite characters, and ends up becoming the new Majestor of the Shi'ar.
We'll see more of Gladiator in the next event/status quo:
Realm of Kings, that's basically the continuation of War of Kings.
So I ordered volumes 1,2 and 3 of The Flash and volumes 2 and 3 of Green Arrow.

Great, great service. Your never gonna go to Amazon again when it comes to ordering comics. And these people actually package the books like a new born baby. So they are never damaged when they arrive too. Also they are cheap. And when you order enough from them, they reward you with gift cards, for 10, 20 or even 30 bucks.

Anyway, I'm gonna go start a reread of Punisher Max volume one and go on from there. Hopefully Amazon and/or Tales of Wonder gets volume five back in stock soon enough.
Last cosmic reads:
REALM OF KINGS(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg1.wikia.nocookie.net%2F__cb20091203222756%2Fmarveldatabase%2Fimages%2Fthumb%2Fc%2Fc7%2FRealm_of_Kings_Vol_1_1.jpg%2F300px-Realm_of_Kings_Vol_1_1.jpg&hash=3fb2371b0efad639bfddca2ffb5fdc5091c581dd)
This is a banner for the cosmic titles, dealing with the consequences of War of Kings, basically the Inhuman rule over the kree, the rule of Gladiator as Majestor of the Shi'ar, and the time-space "fault" opened in the end of War of Kings.
The story is inaugurated by a one-shot ("Realm of Kings") runs through these mini-series:
- Inhumans (5 issues)
- Imperial Guard (5 issues)
- Son of Hulk (4 issues)
And tie-ins on these series:
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Nova
The
Realm of Kings one-shot present us the idea that the fault open is a passage to the "Cancerverse", a Lovecraftian reality in which "life won", death doesn't exist and there are terrible Resident Evil-like tentacled creaturers, as well as mutant versions of some Marvel superheroes, trying to take over the universe (Of course!).
Inhumans deals with the now bitter queen Medusa trying to rule over the kree, while Gorgon tries to make a career as a champion and defender of the kree cities, and wins the affection of the kree.
Also, Ra-Venn (Wraith's girl friend from
Annihilation Conquest) and Triton are sent near of the Fault to try to retrieve Black Bolt's body, but they encounter some Cancerverse monsters.
Pro: More Ronan + Crystal cuteness.
Con: Most of the issues were nothing but a pretext for the explanation of the final issue: Medusa was behind all the attacks of the kree cities, because she tries to make the kree believe they need the inhumans to protect them.
Pro: There was some nice scenes with some of the Inhumans, mainly Maximus and Gorgon.
Con: There's also a frankly shoehorned crossover with the Mighty Avengers; doesn't make sense, but it's kind of fun see Crystal meeting again his ex husband Quicksilver.
Pro: The transformation of Medusa into a bitter bitch queen borderline villainy is thrilling, so looking forward for the next event implied.
The other mini-series:
Imperial Guard, has Gladiator sending the Imperial Guard to investigate some things near the fault. We see more of the funny life of Gladiator as a ruler, and the rest allow us to behold more Imperial Guard action and how is the interaction between the members of the team. Of course, none of the characters of the Guard are anything special, I would say the comic book was decent but nothing to die for. Is basically a filler story.
By the way, I found a nod to the space jockey from the Alien movie:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg3.uploadhouse.com%2Ffileuploads%2F19947%2F199472630f5c73e48d81184128b38ec0a1f0e35d.jpg&hash=c683b93981203e7f479334d329490c6c999d1ca5) (http://www.uploadhouse.com/viewfile.php?id=19947263&showlnk=0)
And... the only titles worth reading are
Inhumans and
Imperial Guard.
Spoiler
Son of Hulk has practically nothing to do with the story and it involves the Micronauts (researchers Arcturus Rann, the robot Carl and princess Mari) fighting Hiro-Kala the son of Hulk (one of the most terrible and boring characters I've seen) who is ruling over a planet or something like that.
I know basically nothing about the microverse or the Micronauts history, so I basically didn't understand a single thing. The rest is boring mumbo jumbo in which it seems son of Hulk is going to become akin to Galactus thanks to Galactus or something... Nothing to see here .___.
The Nova tie-ins involve Nova and Darkhawk being transported to the fault by the villain The Sphinx, what takes them through time travel to an alternate dimension where they find Reed Richards, Black Bolt and Namorita alive.
Turns out they were brought there by the old Sphinx to fight his younger self, who wants to take the Ka Stone, which is a powerful mystic stone; young Sphinx already has one, but stealing the one of the older Sphinx would give him unlimited powers. So, they both select their champions to fight the other and...
It's just not interesting. There's a lot of mumbo-jumbo by the end, it's just a boring stupid cliché comic that probably gathers what I dislike the most about superhero comics. And it barely ties in with the previous events, so, not recommended.
Guardians of the Galaxy has some of the Guardians (Star-Lord, Drax, Jack Flag, Bug, Moondragon, Groot and Rocket), fighting some mutants created by the Fault, there are other characters introduced, the Luminals, basically a rival team, the neighbors of the Guardians that also live in Knowhere. Moondragon gets "pregnant" with a mutant. Weird stuff.
The other half of the team (Phylla, Gamora, Mantis, Cosmo and Major Victory) is fighting Magus, who is basically Adam Warlock turned bad, and wants to bring all the forces of the Cancerverse to our world...
And, I think this basically wraps up all this GotG run, about the Universal Truth Church and all that, but I didn't like that part of the GotG, so I missed many issues and I just didn't understand (and I'm not that interested into).
The final issue of this
GotG volumen deals with Thanos resurrection, and that leads to the next Marvel Cosmic Event:
The Thanos Imperative.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THANOS IMPERATIVE(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2F7%2F70%2FThanos_Imperative_1.jpg&hash=73ed0d2722555e1099d2b7fbdb8c4cc57fd0917e)
I read, not gonna write a because it was pretty not memorable. This is only 7 issues. It basically wraps up the
Guardians of the Galaxy arcs. Thanos is resurrected, he fights Mar Vell from the Cancerverse. There are a couple Guardians deaths, as well as some others.
It also an attempt to launch a new galactic elite team, composed of Ronan, Nova, Quasar, Beta Ray Bill, Silver Surfer and Gladiator, called
the Annihilators...

One that failed after having only one miniseries.
As far as I understand, this was the end of the considerably succesful Marvel cosmic line.

Great comic, but I feel like it would work better for me if this wasn't the first thing I had read with Microchip in it. That, and
Punisher War Zone has trained me to think of him as Dennis Nedry/Newman. :laugh: Some of the supporting characters are kind of baffling, too, but in that bizarre Garth Ennis fashion. Oh, and Ink looks
a lot like the Cinema Snob to me. :laugh:
Spoiler
At least he gets his head blown off in both the book and War Zone. :laugh:

Great comic, and a definite improvement over the first volume. Ennis somehow managed to cross the Punisher with his personal manifesto on why the IRA sucks, and make it work. It helps that the characters are all so... colorful.
And here's my leftover readings of the main Marvel Cosmic series:
NOVA VOLUME 4 (36 ISSUES)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbehindthepanels.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F06%2FNova_Vol_4_1.jpg&hash=9a9bd33a5001a7ad27bcdaec93fe801bf7eb99c5)
As far as I understand, this volume is seen as the highest point of Nova's publication history, and gosh, it is good. The only way I can define this series is as "heroic".
Everything seems to turn around Rich's struggles to do his hero job the best he can. Unlike other superheroes, there's very little of his private life, because, you know, he renounced it to become more or less a full time superhero. But still, there are parts in this series in which his links with some people on Earth are really important.
It reminds me of the Green Lantern comics.
And well, most of the series I read through the cosmic events, but there are some stories I missed. I like the most one dealing with a sort of magical infection in a planet ruled by aristocrats, and also the first modern appearance of Cosmo (pre-Guardians) and Knowhere :)
I really recommend you to give this series a shot if you're interested in superheroes. If you're not hooked from the very first issues, maybe superheroes is not your thing.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOLUME 2 (25 ISSUES)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg1.wikia.nocookie.net%2F__cb20140521032654%2Fmarveldatabase%2Fimages%2Fthumb%2Fb%2Fb1%2FGuardians_of_the_Galaxy_Vol_2_1.jpg%2F310px-Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_Vol_2_1.jpg&hash=be7d754ba6c2b8a312f2cb4bb10d648c3d7a88d0)
OK, I read everything I had missed from GoTG. The biggest issue with this series is that is basically a whole story. Most of the things from the first issues don't generally have a solution until the Thanos Imperative event, following the end of the series. So, you spend about 30 issues reading the story without a clear feeling of where is everything going.
I agree with that thing some people said, that this is a "situation-based" comic book, it doesn't give you much of a focus on certain characters, it's mostly about the adventure, you don't know Rocket Raccoon, you don't know who Gamora or Star-Lord are, you only follow their adventures.
The story can be enjoyable, yet, as the book doesn't take itself that seriously, and the characters are generally likable. The revelations by the end can be a nice payoff, at least.
What I don't like about this comic is especially when it deviates into those "multiversal/timeline mumbo jumbo" that I hate so much about comic books. It can get really confusing and boring when they devote two or three issues on a row on this "let's fix broken time paradoxes" stuff.
So, I can't really recommend this series as a whole, but the tie-ins with events (specially War of Kings)... are a hell lot of fun!
I found myself absolutely loving the whole alternate timeline/future stuff, especially because the characters themselves were so put off and confused by it. I thought it really worked, and as a bonus it made for a fun way to bring the original Guardians back into the fold.
Totally get why it wouldn't be for everyone, though.
Well, as for myself, the only good thing I can see about it is that it brought us this Starhawk costume design:

I'd say this "Ultimate-ish" more badass version, should completely replace it.

Another recent read.
NEW X-MEN – ACADEMY X (46 ISSUES)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.comiccollectorlive.com%2Fcovers%2F204%2F204b6c0a-4e1d-4fdc-bf16-58404ef5c747.jpg&hash=1f53ade0d19efd4bb438ee1f6afc3ddcce2e6fb0)
I've always been somewhat intimidated by the X-Men series, specially because of the immense cast of characters, continuity-heavy and the fact that is practically a universe on itself, within the Marvel Universe.
I decided to give a shot to this series, who was intended for new readers. New X-Men – Academy X introduce us to completely new characters, new students of the Xavier Academy.
So, we know these characters, their training, adventures and that. It's basically a "back to roots" only with new characters. The new generation is divided on different squads, each one with a tutor. They are trained and there are competitions between each squad.
The most important are:
THE NEW MUTANTS (Tutored by Dani Moonstar)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg3.uploadhouse.com%2Ffileuploads%2F19952%2F19952483-holder-ee991fdb039317f780847440ded7afa3.jpg&hash=44a8a0251ace17820de4a85cc0d64c7811a203f6) (http://www.uploadhouse.com/viewfile.php?id=19952483&showlnk=0)
David Alleyne (Prodigy). His power is temporary absorbing people's knowledge around him, he's the brains and the leader of the group.
Noriko Ashida (Surge). A foul-mouthed, assertive Japanese girl. She can absorb and discharge electricity through her gloves.
Josh Foley (Elixir). Golden skin. The irresponsible teenager, I'd say. His power is healing.
Jay Guthrie (Icarus). The apacible, mature, noble guy, wings on his back. Likable character.
Laurie Collins (Wallflower). Kind of insecure girl. Controls people's emotions with pheromones.
Sofia Mantega (Wind Dancer). Not much of a personality; she's a Latina, uh. She can create wind and use it to manipulate sound.
THE HELLIONS (Tutored by Emma Frost)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg2.uploadhouse.com%2Ffileuploads%2F19952%2F19952482-holder-f7f69423c0ee60761ead330cdc7cb75f.jpg&hash=fdc7eb4bde74037340164fa270ec6f28afde034d) (http://www.uploadhouse.com/viewfile.php?id=19952482&showlnk=0)
Julian Keller (Hellion). The Draco Malfoy of this comic, the cocky arrogant guy, power's high telekinesis.
Santo Vacarro (Rockslide). The usual big guy/henchman. Mostly the black/guido stereotype, but this guy's made of stone and can shoot and reassemble his limbs.
Cessily Kincaid (Mercury). Curiously, the "happy" enthusiastic and sensitive girl, she's made of metal and she can turn into liquid.
Brian Cruz (Tag). Rastafari-like guy, usually a good boy, his power makes another person to attract or repel psychically other people around them.
Sooraya Qadir (Dust). Burqa-wearing Afghan girl, her power's turning into sand. Not much to say, she doesn't do that much in the comic.
Kevin Ford (Wither). The "Rogue-type" character, he disintegrates any organic matter he touches. He usually has unwilling vile feelings.
Cyclops is also present as the co-principal, along with Frost. There are appearances of some other X-Men alumni, mainly as teachers (Wolverine, Beast, Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane, Northstar, etc).
The first writers of the series, Nunzio De Filipis and Christina Weir, are not bad, but their writing is very inoffensive, I guess aimed to junior high students or something. It contains little violence and some elements of cheesy teen romance, the best we could say it's that is family-friendly.
The adventures are usually not much thrilling, it involves competitions between the mutants squad, romance, rivalries, misunderstandings, clashing personalities... The usual school stuff (who doesn't like it?). Also, occasionally breaking out a captured member, and even the story of a ghost haunting the Academy (weird).
The subplots involving mainly some New Mutants veterans (mainly Moonstar, who is the tutor from the New Mutants, dean of the Academy, and Wolfsbane, now a teacher, and in a forbidden relationship with Josh/Elixir, as well as some shady counselor from the CIA that ultimately does nothing at all) are just not interesting enough.
This is more or less the tone of the book, until the "graduation" issue, which happens around #15.
Ah, by the way there are several issues, like the House of M tie-ins, that deal with "possible futures" and such. Can't give a damn about them (:
But then it comes the arc "Childhood's End", from the Decimation status quo, new writers are Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost. The "Academy X" subtitle is dropped here onwards, so the title is now simply "New X-Men".
This part the series takes a violent when some of the student lose their powers (via the "No more mutants" spell from Scarlet Witch), and the ones that keep them are usually the ones with the most torturing ability (like having an ugly appearance and that). So, we say goodbye to many members of the cast, as they move to regular "human" colleges.
After the Decimation, reverend William Stryker begins a crusade against the remaining mutants, and holy crap, now there are some massive deaths in the academy, some of
them tragic and breathtaking. This is the part where the story gets thrilling, IMO.
Also, other characters like Pixie (a Pixie-looking girl) and Anole (a chameleon-like boy that reminds us of both Toad, and Beast Boy from Teen Titans) join the team. X-23 (Yost's creation) joins too, and becomes important in the latter story arcs (she's a nice character).
So, the whole "first half" of the series is not so great; I read, by way, the "Hellions" spin-off (4 issues, miniseries) that helps you to get more familiar with that squadron; it was OK, and you learn just a little bit more of their personalities, but it doesn't make you LOVE them. I would say the same for all the first half, the characters are more like regular teenagers, simply nothing as fascinating as the main X-Men characters were (you know, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Beast...) and while I liked the characters, the first half didn't make me LOVE any of them.
I would say you can skip the first part and start reading directly with the Childhood's End storyline (#20 onwards) and you're going to have a very good time, and maybe you'll even feel tempted to read the previous ones.
By the way, I really love Skottie Young's art in the latest issues :)

It's Frank in Russia, killing a shit load of Russians. And bonding with a little girl. Awwwwwwwww. Oh, and Mongolian "super hobbit" shows up. :laugh: Nick Fury is really damn awesome in this one, too. "I'm gonna go f**k all of the whores in new York, before some cocksucker tries to ban that too."
Yesterday I read...
YOUNG X-MEN (#1-5)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg6.uploadhouse.com%2Ffileuploads%2F19956%2F19956356d13182c3ef7784a27859ed4e353a4e63.jpg&hash=29d8ed5f94720bc35a6f2cba71cc5da2c05db33a) (http://www.uploadhouse.com/viewfile.php?id=19956356&showlnk=0)
This is technically a follow-up to New X-Men – Academy X, featuring Cyclops Recruiting some ex-students from the Xavier Institute, to be part of a new squad.
The characters are:
- Dust (can turn into harmful flying sand)
- Rockslide (body made of rocks, like the Thing but a little bigger)
- Wolf Cub (perpetual werewolf form)
- Blindfold (can see the future)
- Ink (has tattoos that grant him different powers)
The enemies this time are a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, composed of nothing less than Cannonball, Sunspot, Dani Moonstar and Magma: The original New Mutants! But why...??
It's never really explained, and none of these kids seem to ask for an explanation, either. But for now, the mission is, literally, to stalk and kill the New Mutants. Sounds pretty heroic, right?
The comic is not boring or anything, there's action and suspense. But my main problem with this is that nothing seems to serve to a purpose. It's another very "inner" storyline, dealing a group of characters fighting another group of characters, for a not discernable reason that doesn't matter that much, in the end. That's just another problem of American comic books.
So, basically, this is a really stupid comic; not boring at all, but extremely stupid and pointless.
Best thing of the comic?

New stuff or old stuff as well? In that case,
Spider-Men, the crossover with Miles and Peter.
I'm looking for stuff that's releasing today, but I'll go for some old stuff if they have it at the store.
The new Black Widow issue that was posted last page looked like it could be fun. :)
I am reading the first volume of Suicide Squad under the New 52 and it's awesome. They kill and betray each other at every turn. This is what happens when you put a bunch of super villains on a team together. Deadshot is their team leader in the field and he's funny as f**k; a badass too. He's also slutting around with Harley Quinn.
Sooooo, I actually found a site that had The Slavers for a semi-reasonable price, and it's already shipped. :)

Just finished reading Forever Evil.
This was a fun DC event. So an evil Justice League called the Crime Syndicate from another universe come to earth, trap our heroes and inflame the world. It's up to a select group of villains – led by Lex Luther to save it! As you can guess seeing the bad guys act as good guys was a lot of fun. Lex teams up with Captain Cold, Mantra, Sinestro and wait for it...Batman. They also reintroduce Bizzaro into the DC Universe in a rather clever way.
Bizarro, eh? Might have to give that a look. :)
Looks like Sin-Eater is back.

Some of his best stuff!
Finally back after a week of technical issues ::)
I read:
AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE (#1-12 + ANNUAL #1)(https://dcomixologyssl.sslcs.cdngc.net/c/MAR072076.jpg?h=412585fea02c7e7423f655e820c8100d)
Written by Dan Slott, the
Spider-Man writer I've liked the most so far.
The series is about the consequences of the Civil War event, dealing mostly with The Initiative, the program of register and training for new superheroes.
So, most of the young people with superpowers are forced to choice between:
a) Have their powers extracted by scientists.
b) Go to Camp Hammond, the Initiative facilities to be trained as future superheroes.
Being a government-sanctioned initiative, Camp Hammond it's actually a military bootcamp, unlike the Xavier schools from X-Men.
Spoiler
The directors of the Initiative are:
Yellowjacket (Hank Pym). He's the director of the training facilities in Camp Hammond.
Justice (Vance Astrovik). The "present time" alter ego of Vance Astro from the original Guardians of the Galaxy, and an ex member of the New Warriors. A sort of second in command to Pym.
Gauntlet (Sergeant Joseph Green). Military guy, he is hired to train the new recruits. One of his hands is covered by a big metallic glove with energy-displaying powers. Feels like a mix between Steel and Jon Stewart. He has a really tough person in the trainings, but he's an extra nice guy outside the camp. So, what not to like?
Baron Blitzschlag. He's a decrepit ex Hydra scientist, obsessed with the ubermensch/supersoldier creation. With an extreme Nazi personality and vile temperament, you got to hate him, but he's in charge of all the things related to science in the Initiative.
Secretary Henry Peter Guyrich. The ex mutant hater senator is also deeply involved in running the Initiative facilities, as the representative of the USA Government. This time he's not an undercover villain or anything, simply doing his job.
Senator Goodman. Shady guy from the Government that approaches to some of the recruits, if you know who is Senator Stern from the Iron Man movies, that's basically what you have to know.
Other characters we see around are War Machine. Beast and Triathlon.
Recruits:
MVP (Michael Van Patrick). He's Dr. Abraham Erskine's grandgrandson, his power's that he's basically always on good fit, basically a "top human"; he's also the coolest guy around. Probably the coolest in the whole Marvel universe.
Armory. She has an alien gauntlet bound to her arm, just like Gauntlet. It can turn into any weapon or device she needs. Not much developed in the series.
Slapstick. He wears magic gloves that gives him a clown-like face that he can shape into wacky forms, he also uses clownish weapons. He's supposedly useful in disaster to "help with the morale".
Hardball (Roger Brokeridge). His power is to generate energy balls covering his hands. More than a bit selfish and his ethics are not exactly the best, but he knows he should be a better person. I found him the most believable character that anyone can identify with.
Cloud 9 (Abigal Boylen). She can create clouds and surf on them akin to flying.
Komodo. She stole samples of Curt Connors's Lizard formula and improved it. So, he can regenerate her limbs and has more than a few reptilian features. Also, an interesting inferiority complex or something like that. I liked the character.
Trauma (Terrance Ward). A sort of emo boy, his power's to know the worst fear of people around him and turn into it. When he can turn into anything including Hulk, he's really powerful. I'm an actual fan of his character design.
Ultragirl (Susana Sherman). Not sure, she doesn't feature much in the series either.
Thor Girl. Not sure of what's her powers. She has a very Asgardian and royal persona.
Rage. Short-tempered street fighting boy, he's boastful on having been a member of The Avengers and the New Warriors even if he's only 14 years old. His power is becoming stronger as angrier he gets, I think. Usually clash with the directors, he's a nicely written character, actually.
Later more people join.
What's unusual in this series is that it doesn't try to be a "team" series, every recruit is basically on its own, although they interact, but not extensively. In fact, the recruits are not really the focus of the book, although many of them eventually have spotlight episodes, the thing is more about the directors of the Initiative and everything that happens around it.
If you want to know more of the cadets, the Annual features short origin stories for all of them, as well as for some other characters, in fact, if you're into the series, the Annual is something you definitely must read as it contains very important points for the plot.
This is in fact a very peripheral series, there's not a true plot to follow on itself, everything is related or revolves around events happening in the other Avengers titles. There are tie ins with the World War Hulk storyline, and the 'pre-Mephisto Retcon' Spider-Man arcs, Secret Invasion, among others.
There are only little character arcs you can find around in some of the title, but the new characters (the recruits) are given little depth and little things to do until more or less #9 onwards.
I don't think I can recommend this series to someone who is not more or less sapient of the Marvel universe timeline. The series is very well written but if you don't know what was happening in the Marvel universe by the time, I assume you would be completely lost.
Spoiler
However, the series contains many awesome moments to highlight. It starts with a shock, in #1. If you don't believe me, just read it.
One of the moments I enjoyed the most is in #3, when Moonstar (from the New Mutants book) is hired to tutor Trauma. Now, for that single scene, she won my respect forever.
Another: Taskmaster in #9, shows how to defeat three giants at a same time, in less than three steps.
The art by Stefano Caselli is good, by the way. I also enjoyed Steve Uy's art on #6 and #12.
And well, the first arc closes with #12, and a completely new story with completely new recruits begin with #13, I've already read that first episode and my opinion is hugely positive :D Gotta read more before I come with a new review ^____~
Sabrina the Teenage Witch comic books are back... with a very 70's HORROR (Omen, Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, Devil Rides Out) vibe!

Holy shit, Constantine quickly shot to the top of my last for favorite New 52 titles. This is my first foray into reading the character. I didn't know much about him before hand, except the Keanu Reeves movie, which I am half tempted to revisit. But so far, I am reading the first volume under the New 52 and the art is great, the wit and humor John brings is fun as well. Sure excited for the tv show now.

That's exactly what I was saying! They designed so loyalty the MCU it allows a great synergy between the 616 comics and the spin-off material from the movies.
Wonder what the actual art of the comic book will look like.

I will try to pick up a hardcover or two at the end of the month as well. It's been too long since I've read anything. Even TWD has fallen of my radar. :/
I'm behind in TWD as well. I have up to 20 or something sitting on my shelf, but I think volume 18 was the last one I actually read.
I'd like to get volume 4 of Thor: God of Thunder whenever it comes out. That's going to be it for the God of Thunder run, setting up for the new female-Thor lead series.
I still haven't read past volume eight of TWD.
Gamora is getting her own series.

Picked up Edge of Spider-Verse #4 last weekend. It was twisted - absolutely loved it. I'm liking these little one-offs.

Some years ago, i think back in 2009 for Cap..before 2008 for sure with Aunt May.
Cap came back because, just like Batman, Cap was going through time or some shit. The bullet that killed him was a "time bullet" ? and..yeah.
Aunt May came back because Peter sold his marriage to Mephisto after trying every single thing to get Aunt May to live...which is really f**king ridiculous, I would suggest looking up Linkara's Video on One More Day because it really shows you how idiotic the entire thing is and after years of reading every rant I thought to myself..."I thought I had seen it all, but One More Day really is the stupidist f**king thing to ever happen in the history of Spider-Man."
20 years down the drain, we never knew what happened or did happen, etc. etc. Imagine the New 52 reboot, but just with Spidey's history...and everyone he has ever interacted with. Joe Quesada was like "I don't want Peter to stay married, he;s not relatable that way, and a divorce doesn't sent a good message for the children...I GOT IT, HE SHOULD MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL, THAT'S TOTALLY A BETTER MESSAGE TO SEND CHILDREN!!!"
Yeah...
Oh for f**k...
That's precisely why I gave up on modern comics. Timelines are always being screwed up.

Prometheus, Alien, and AvP: Fire and Stone...at first it was interesting and then it just got too much for me. The time gaps between the comics are really going to be a trial for those that decide to stick around, as for me I'm just dropping it.
^Same. .. it's just getting more fanwanky and silly as it goes along..

That's what threw me off. Too much comic book territory, a f**king shame he didn't look like he did in that one cover, would have been MUCH more amazing if he had looked that way.

Yep, that's the one that f**ked it up. The story is not salvageable at this point to even continue on since we know that AvP is the final destination it's head, a real shame since it had real value at first.
So, anyone still keeping up to date with Marvel's Ultimate universe? I haven't read much of it since Doomsday, except for a few Spider-Man issues here and there. I was thinking of picking up Cataclysm. Is it any good? :-\

No, it's not. The covers are the only good thing about it.
It's a story you could have told in two issues, it takes like 18 instead. I see no point in reading the Ultimates and X-Men tie-ins, those characters no longer have their own comic book so whatever it happens and the deaths and new characters introduced are not going anywhere.
If you really want to read it, just read the main event, no tie-ins, it's not worth.
Miles Morales isn't Peter Parker though.

You can literally read Catacylsm #1 (not #0) and the last issue and have fun. The way they solve everything is pretty heroic, at least... And well, that's what I can say to your question if it was "
any good".

I had read it like 7 years ago, while in college (God, I feel so old) along with Dark Victory, so I reminded them more as a whole.
Now that I'm flipping the pages, kind of disappointed this is not the tome with Solomon Grundy, Scarecrow and the other colorful guys :/
Whatever, there's a big chance DV will be released next year here in Mexico.
Solomon Grundy and Scarecrow are in it, just in small roles. Most of the rogues gallery is in it for short bursts.

QuoteOriginally there was meant to be a third film, Batman Triumphant, which Joel Schumacher was signed on to direct, but it was cancelled after the poor reaction to Batman And Robin.
And that was that. Until next year.
Because Bleeding Cool has been told that Joel Schumacher is writing a twelve issue Batman comic, currently being drawn by Dustin Nguyen, which will revisit his intentions for the three films, or which two were made. Rewritten from scratch and telling one story, this will contain his original vision for the movies.

It's part of a whole Predator/Prometheus/Aliens/AVP tie-in thing. Been looking over the thread. Some interesting ideas, but it seems to have gone too "out there," in my opinion. Haven't read any of it myself, though.
seems like the old eu to me personally with some artist being better than average.
I finished Savage Sword of Conan volume three yesterday. It was fairly standard Conan, by which I mean it was still pretty awesome. I actually didn't mind the de Camp/Carter stories that were adapted as much as I thought I would, and the Howard stories are all pretty great. I still find it a bit disingenuous of Roy Thomas to doll up a bunch of non-Conan Howard stories for the comic, but eh, it is what it is.
P.S. I'm part way through The Slavers and it's fantastic so far.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The last few frames were particularly great, and made for a very fitting end.
Aye, that was fantastic.
And I should mention I've read the first issue of volume six. When that poor guy mentioned getting butt raped, I had an inkling of an idea that Ennis was close to Preacher mode. When Barracuda was introduced screaming at a dead chick to suck his dick and make him some eggs, my suspicions were confirmed. :laugh:

very curious as to how he survived that shit at the end, though, since I know he comes back later. And is it just me, or does Goran Parlov's art make the whole thing look like an episode of

Yep, I have that one. Then it's just three more volumes and
Born to go, since I'm not exactly dying to read the one shots. And I've been meaning to ask, how are the writers that came between Ennis and Aaron? Any of them worth reading?
They're not memorable in the slightest. You're honestly not missing much. So if you want to jump to Aaron after Ennis' run, by all means go for it.

Well the order went out, but thankfully I didn't have time to do it before I got the gift card. 8)
Have you gotten any packages from them before? You're going to fall in love with the way they package your books. These people don't believe in bent corners.
Never gonna go back to amazon again. 8)

Well, that was brutal, but in a different way from the last few volumes. Funny how Yorkie tends to show up in the arcs where Ennis gets heavy on the political satire. Honestly, the very idea of people like Rawlins is kind of scary. And O'Brien... :'(
On a side note, I'm a bit disappointed that something akin to the "f**k 'em!" moment from
Rambo III never happened. :laugh:
I was reading the Terminator Salvation comic by J. Michael Straczynski, and then he went and added in Back to The Future rules into how Terminator uses time travel. f**king stupid, I actually got mad, and then I just dropped the f**k out of it immediately. Waste of time reading them.

This was the first time I even began reading any comics involving Terminator. I'm sure there are others that are good, and I'm also sure the one I read is good, it was just that one thing that totally ruined it.

The Attack on Titan crossover sounds so random. I know the series is super big right now, but I kinda wish that they did a different crossover with a different franchise.

For those of you who don't know, this is an adaptation of the original script Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway wrote for what became
Conan the Destroyer. It's a lot better in comparison to the final film, while telling what amounts to the same basic story. And the Malak equivalent gets hanged in the first few pages, so that's an improvement right there. :laugh: However, the comic does feel like more of an illustrated screenplay than anything else, which means it's not as well fleshed-out as it perhaps could have been.

So, anyone still keeping up to date with Marvel's Ultimate universe? I haven't read much of it since Doomsday, except for a few Spider-Man issues here and there. I was thinking of picking up Cataclysm. Is it any good? :-\
I have just finished reading Ultimate Spider-Man - the first series. Finished at Vol 22, the Ultimatium. I started getting these about 8 years ago so it's pretty nice to finally finish the series. Really didn't like Vol 21, the Symbiote War and I was kinda miffed to see Magneto be the bad-guy in this but I'm assuming it was some sort of multi-series crossover. I would have liked to have seen it end via a Spider-Man baddy. :-\ But overall, I've really liked the series.
I believe the next series is Ultimates Spider-Man, beginning with The Life of Peter Parker or something?
I'm really enjoying the new Amazing Spider-Man and the Spider-verse stuff though. Really interesting bad guy and some ideas.
I loved Ultimate Spider-Man as well, but Ultimatum was such a mess. :-\
Was it a big crossover?
It involved the whole Ultimate universe. Killed off a lot of characters as well and was overall really badly written. :-X
Blurgh. :-X The whole arc was bad? Pretty sure Spidey isn't killed yet though...?

Whatever happens in the Ultimate Universe is total and completely irrelevant, I'm calling it... I think not even the editors care about what happens there.
That's disappointing. :-\ I'm considering giving up on the next series then.
Would I be better off just buying the older Amazing Spider-Mans?
Ultimate U is really just falling apart, it's just Ultimate Spider-Man that I heard is even good still, and I'm sure Miles is gonna be heading into the main 616 Universe soon enough.
I never found Ultimate Spider-Man THAT good, but yeah, it's very decent and the Miles Morales era has not shown signs of getting bad either. You can read it and that, but as for the Ultimate Universe as a whole, it's simply a waste of time... It has been since 2010 or so.
Ouch. I never realized it was supposed to be so bad.

That was the new 52.

My opinion is that very little of the New 52 was good. I really tried to start reading every series after the reboot, and most of them were really lame.
Given that the Multiverse returned with Morrison's Multiversity and now they're announcing a new event called Convergence, in which the pre-New 52 DC Universe is back, probably they'll re-reboot the DCU, undo the New 52 or at least bring back the classic DC in a few titles:

I've actually been really enjoying Batman 52. I came into it with only the usual pop-culture knowledge of the character. I quite liked Death in the Family and Year Zero. I'm curious to see what's going to happen with the new storyline that they've opened up.

Eh, this wasn't one of my favorite arcs. It started out with a very interesting premise, and the ending was very hard hitting. That being said, I started tuning out when it became
She-Punisher vs The Real Housewives. That part of the story didn't quite work for me.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.talesofwonder.com%2Flarge%2FAUG041859.jpg%3Fnc%3D1415775360754&hash=d8969525eab995be93f22534cc5ea6da022e2f15)
Well that was really damn good. My only gripe was that Goodwin's narration was kind of annoying to begin with, what with all the "I'm gonna survive and meet loads of beautiful women" crap that just wouldn't stop. And I
would like to have seen something of Frank's first two tours, just to get an idea of how he got to a place where he was willing to have a general sniped just keep killing for as long as possible. I also wish I didn't have to torrent this, but eh, I did what I had to.

Wow... that was so good it more than made up for my disappointment in
Widowmaker. It really got deep into who the Punisher is, but in different way from the other arcs so far. And Barracuda... Christ, he really upped his evil bastard status from the last time he showed up. That being said, I
woud like to have learned how he survived the end of his introductory arc, instead of getting the snarky, faux-clever "let's leave that for the director's cut" nonsense.

So, this was a more than well handled farewell to the series for Ennis. It actually had a rather harrowing message to it, as well. And those loose ends were tied up ever so nicely at the end. 8) I have to say, though, I don't quite buy the part about Frank not being willing to shoot back at US soldiers, since he was ready and willing to kill Vanheim way back in volume three, not to mention the whole setting up a general to die thing from
Born. I would have bought it more if they sent marines after him. That being said, I did like where the stuff with the Delta Force colonel went. That was some powerful stuff.
Overall, great series. Could have done without
Widowmaker, though.

Well, there are still a bunch of ASM issues that you need to read as well. One 2099 issue and two Superior issues that are all huge Spider Verse issues. And Spider-Verse Team Up #1.

I've read the two Superior that lead upto the Edge of series. What do the Team-Up and 2099 add to it?
The same things that the others do. Team Up focuses on the Spider-Men that we haven't seen too many times before and they obviously team up. 2099 focuses more on the 2099 Spidey and his part of Spider-Verse. You've been missing a lot if you aren't keeping up with all of them.
This is the entire checklist.

I'm very picky with the comics I read, maybe once a year I'll go to the comic book store, I have tons around me where I live in the city. I must say out of all of them this had to be the best one for me, really enjoyed it.
If you guys don't know about it, I highly recommend it...

I only ever had Superior Spider-Man on order. Up until that I'd been reading Ultimate. Now I've got Amazing on order too. I'll look at picking the other ones up too. I did intend on ordering the Spider-Woman series anyway and I see that's on there. And a bunch of limited series. So not too bad. I just don't want to buy a tonne of singles from series I'll never read all of. I'm a commitment kinda guy. :-X

2099 is the the only one that applies to and you don't even have to know everything about that series since the ones listed deal with only the Spider-Verse side of things.

Not gonna lie, that was fantastic. These were probably the best versions of Kingpin and Bullseye I've come across, and the story on the whole was great. The prison arc was probably my favorite, what with the extra insight it gave us into Frank. And it's always cool seeing more of this Nick Fury.That being said, I could have done without seeing Kingpin's bare ass in a flashback, or seeing all of Mamma Cesare. :laugh:
Spoiler
I also thought it was maybe a bit unbelievable that Frank and Fisk, both shot to shit and wounded in other ways, managed to walk all the way from Frank's old house way out in the 'burbs to Fisk Towers in downtown Manhattan, and then Frank somehow manged to walk all the way back before dying on the sidewalk. :laugh:
But yeah, fantastic run on the whole. 8)
It's an excellent book. Going from Ennis to Aaron was a fantastic transition. I hardly noticed a difference. I loved the ending; I've often thought how Frank would go out. Perfect closure for the character; at least in the MAX universe.
The Christmas special included at the end was very good, as well, i should add.
And now I want to read Fury Max: My War Gone By... and maybe track down the original Fury Max miniseries that allegedly scared George Clooney off of making a Nick Fury movie years ago. :laugh:
I read the Marvel crossover with Attack on Titan earlier today and it pretty much sucked. The whole 8 page crossover had no build up to it and most of the artwork looked terrible. The whole crossover didn't even have an ending! Maybe they will do a sequel, but I give the crossover a D-.

Apparently it was just that violent and crazy. You know, Ennis-y. It pissed off Stan Lee something fierce, too.
Marvel has announced the character Silver Fox, created by writer Young Hoon Ko for Korean-produced webcoming titled "Avengers: Electric Rain" is officially joining their mainstream comic book universe:

Batman: Earth One - Volume 2 will be released on May 12. But before all that, we're getting Teen Titans: Earth One - Vol. 1 on November 25th. I'll probably pick that one up. A nice way to get introduced to the characters, I think, seeing as how I've never read Teen Titans before. :)
So if I wanted to read some horror oriented stuff (Marvel and/or DCs supernatural characters, for example), what would you guys recommend? I was thinking Blade to start off, but I couldn't really find any material of his that seemed worth checking out.
Preferably self contained stories or only a few volumes, as opposed to long running arcs.

For Marvel, I suggest Tomb of Dracula. It's where Blade got his start, but his various solo series never really lasted. DC's Vertigo imprint had Hellblazer, which I hear is amazing.
Cool cool. I plan on continuing with Hellboy come winter, and was thinking of maybe checking out some of this stuff on the side.

Spoiler
1. Greenland - Confirmed to be Planet Hulk by trailer, aka the world of Hulks with axe wielding Cap and Devil Dinosaur. Generally awesome idea.
2. Dystopia - Confirmed to be Future Imperfect by trailer. Mastero looks set to arrive here after clash with 2099? Clearly gonna take advantage of having a nation of Hulks on his doorstep, or will that backfire?
3. Domain of Apocalypse. - Confirmed to be Age of Apocalypse by trailer. Apoc will likely be one of the big bads here.
4. Egyptia - Suggests ties to Apocalypse given the name, perhaps a similar reality?
5. Technopolis - Confirmed to be Armour Wars by trailer, aka universe with Iron Galactus. Could be a problem.
6. *Classified*
7. Spider-Land - Confirmed to be Renew your Vows by Trailer? Trailer seemed to point of 8 but this seems more viable. Reality where Spidey is still married and has a daughter! This is an island so it might give it some advantages.
8. The Regency - No idea, ties to 1602 below? Regency era (1700's to early 1800's) Marvel Universe? Could also suggest a Captain Britain themed villain.
9. King James' England - Clearly the 1602 Universe. Ties to Regency above?
10. Weirdworld - No idea though I swear I've heard this referenced before.
11. K'un Lun - Clearly a Iron Fist reality, possibly the actual K'un Lun of 616?
12. Utopolis - No ideas, though implies utopian reality.
13. New Mars - No idea, wasn't Mars involved in Secret Avengers or Infinity lately?
14. *Classified
15. Higher Avalon - Clearly Captain Britain themed, possibly Otherworld or Avalon from 616.
16. Archania - Suggests Spidey or Magic Themed world, given its closeness to Avalon I feel the latter.
17. Marville - Confirmed to be Avengers vs X-Men by trailer, aka cutesy A-Babies vs X-Babies universe. Poor kids.
18. The Eye of Aggamotto - Doctor Strange themed reality? Or some dimension the Doc has ties to?
19. *Classified*
20. Manhattan - Comprised of 616 and Ultimate Universe with Attlian (Home of the Inhumans) and Monster Metropolis (from Frankencastle? Morlocks?) highlighted. Clearly confirms that Secret Wars starts from incursion between 616 and 1610. Inhumans clearly major players or take advantage of situation.
21. The City - No idea, could mean anything. Marvel Noir?
22. The Warzone - Confirmed to be Civil War by trailer. Is this the past of 616 or a reality where Civil War is still occurring?
23. New Quack City - Duckworld! Given Howard's forthcoming series I imagine he'll be passing this place a visit!
24. The Far East - Not sure, suggests Asian themed world, maybe from the Ronin series or the What If: Daredevil in Feudal Japan one shot.
25. Valley of Flame - Implies Mandarin themed reality, could have connection to Far East reality above.
26. The HYDRA Empire - Had interesting idea as to whether this might be that universe from Exiles where Susan Storm is Madame HYDRA and married to Wolverine.
27. 2099 - 2099, duh. Here after incursion with Future Imperfect? 2099 Spidey will clearly have a place in Secret Wars.
28. The Hala Field - Implies Kree based Reality.
29. The Monarchy of M - Confirmed to be House of M by trailer. Happy to see King Magnus kick ass again.
30. Sentinel Territories - Confirmed to be Days/Years of Future Past by Trailer. The artwork suggested the 80's era X-Men would appear but this implies it might just be the Sentinel run future.
31. The Wastelands - Confirmed to be Old Man Logan by trailer. Clearly an encounter between Old Logan and DOFP Logan is inevitable.
32. Mutopia - Mutant themed reality? Maybe one where District M is still mutant heavy?
33. Westchester - Confirmed to be X-Men '92 by trailer. Those poor Animated X-Men are surrounded by some pretty nasty anti-mutant realities!
34. Killville - No idea? Suggests Arcade to me for some reason.
35. Arcadia - Actually so does this one. Could also be magic based.
36. Bar Sinister - Mr Sinister runs a bar? Awesome.
37. Limbo - Magik themed reality? Or the Limbo dimension?
38. The Deadlands - Clearly Marvel Zombies Universe.
39. Perfection - Confirmed to be Age of Ultron trailer. DEFINITELY NOT PERFECTION TO ME.
40. New Xandar - Confirmed to be Infinity Gauntlet by trailer. Reality where Thanos won? Family of Novas?
41. The Wall - Keeping the Marvel Zombies, Ultron and Thanos away from the others? Maybe the Beyonder thinks these realities are too dangerous to be utilised straight away. That or he's seen too much Game of Thrones.

It's about a time loop
Fortunately they can pull off the trick only once, so that's all for #1, but I expect it to turn into timeline/parallel reality mumbo jumbo, like the ones of the GotG [VOL 2]. If you're really a fan of that, go check. I'll give #2 a chance, but I don't really expect this series to be good :/

I finally managed to track down a copy of Spawn Origins Volume 1 in hardcover. Softcover is easy enough to find, but the hardcover version must be waterproofed with Unicorn tears. The only copies I found on Ebay cost over a hundred AUD at the very least.
I asked Minotaur Comics in Sydney about it 6 months ago, and they actually called me on my Birthday to say they finally have it in. Sweet! So that should be here any day now.

Thanos Imperative was decent at best, IMO :/
The Incal
So this is all kinds of crazy fun. I am starting to notice the bits that were stolen and used in other movies, though. Like the bit with Qui-Gon punching through the door in Phantom Menace... and the look and concept of Kamino... yeah, Lucas, bad. Although, that's all balanced out by the subplot that was entirely stolen from Dune... not Jodorowsky's vision of Dune, but the original story. :laugh:

From Wikipedia:
QuoteThe book takes place approximately ten thousand years in the future. Graham said, "In the first issue, Prophet has to blend into an alien city and find his contact to get orders. The city is in a living spaceship that died after it landed and is slowly rotting. The aliens that live in it are a fermentation-based caste society. In the second issue, in order to cross a desert, Prophet joins an alien caravan where each of these giant alien beasts feeds off the waste of the creature in front of it until eventually the waste becomes a refined product that they go around selling. Prophet gets mixed up in an assassination plot of the caravans leader." Graham added that one of his main goals of the series is to "out 'Conan' the current run of 'Conan'".[4] The first arc revealed that there are dozens, or more, of Prophet clones scattered throughout the universe.
Prophet features a four-man rotation of artists: Roy, who drew the first three issues of the revival; Farel Dalrymple, who drew issues #24 and #25; Giannis Milonogiannis, who is illustrating six issues; and Graham, who drew issue #26.[5] Each artist, Graham told Newsarama, will focus on one main Prophet. "So when [Roy] returns on #32 he'll be drawing the same Prophet that he drew in his first issue. [Milonogiannis] will draw the old man Prophet's story and Farel Dalrymple is doing all the issues about the Prophet with a tail. I like the idea of each artist's style representing how the character they're drawing sees the world(s) around them."
You, Kiramidhead, and others here would definitely like it. I'm more of a European sci-fi comics reader and even though this comes straight from the USA it's the best most imaginative graphic storytelling I've read since Metabarons.
Oh, yeh...I should note that this is a total re-imagining of Liefield's
Prophet comic that lasted 20 issues. So this rendition of prophet, which takes place 10,000 yrs after issue #20 simply kicks off at issue #21 -there are obscurely scattered references to the first comic, but reading Prophet 1-20 is not a prerequisite at all. There are 3 and counting TPB volumes of this current run of prophet. It ends in a 6 issue mini-series beginning its run this month.
So chronologically the current run of
Prophet is:
Prophet #21-45,
Prophet: Strikefile #1-2,
Prophet: Earth War #1-6.
Finished off
The Incal last night. That ending... it went beyond the infinite... then it just kept going.

Ohhhhhhh... :o
^ WORD. I keep telling motherf**kers to read Prophet.
It also really outdoes Conan as far as badassery goes. ;D
So I think I'm gonna read Prophet.
I know you said the first 20 issues aren't necessary, but are they good?

So I caved and picked up Prophet Volume 1: Remission now. ;D If I like it I'll definitely grab up the other two volumes.
Get ready for some kinky shit once Prophet meets his "alien contact" lol.
Also.. The new comic books of Prophet are within continuity with the original Prophet and YOUNGBLOOODDDDD books by Rob Liefeld... figuring out the HOW is part of the fun. But essentially "Prophet" is the far future story and rob liefeld's originals are now the long gone past of the universe... but you dont need to have read the liefeld stuff to "get" the new comic.
Supreme, Glory, Badrock all get cameos or references.. DieHard becomes a lead character later on.

I like it. :)
I like the costume too :)
Just finished The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects collection by Mike Mignola. Loved it! There are some really great little tales in here.
My favorite was definitely The Prisoner of Mars, which started out as a sort of homage to The Colour Out of Space and quickly twisted into something so ridiculously insane and wonderful to read.
Definitely check out this collection, guys.
Just read Superman Unchained. Whilst I was not quite sold on the premise; there being a superman type being years before Superman crashed to Earth and doing secret dirty work for the government felt like a stretch. I loved the art. Christ, Jim Lee knows how to make a page pop. Superman looked dangerous and sexy. Done right, and with a good inker it's one of the best looking costumes in comics.

Just finished volume 1 of Spawn Origins. I'm a little confused by issue 10... was wondering what you guys thought.
Spawn dies and goes to what I think is Purgatory. He's lead by another Image Comics character, some kind of Aardvark detective thing. He comes across a cage full of Marvel and DC heroes and their creators are lined up before the cage in hoods and nooses, crying.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcomicbookjesus.files.wordpress.com%2F2012%2F03%2Fspawn-10.jpg&hash=6b50d15bc06521cd495d2c6ee1f537a376fc9721)
The Aardvark says that they are all in Purgatory because their creators sold them, but that will never happen to Spawn. He will never come to this Purgatory. Then Superman, "The One Who Came First", gives Spawn his power (I don't know why) and Spawn goes to see his eternal reward, being with his family, before returning with the living world.
Am I right to conclude this is McFarlanes way of saying that he will absolutely never sell Spawn, and that other comic writers have sold out and betrayed their creations? If so, I kind of like it, though he could have chosen a less condescending and artsy way to go about it.

Shame. I would have been tempted to pick it up if it'd come with everything.
So, I read the first volume of reboot Flash, and while I enjoyed it, there were a lot of moments that just left me going "huh?" And whoever is responsible for swapping out Captain Cold's guns for frozen hands deserves a kick in the balls.

Batman: The Death of the Family
This pretty good. Not sure where all of the "one of the best Joker stories ever" hype is coming from, though.
I prefer Superman to Batman now.
This happened of the course of a few months. The more Superman stories I read, the more I am falling in love with this character. His suit, his nobility, his desire to help everybody. That doesn't make him a wimp. Quite the opposite in fact. He has the powers of a God but at the end of the day he's just like everybody else. He wants to be accepted by those around him.
S stands of Hope.
It would be nice if there was a real Superman in the world. Maybe he could have prevented what happened in France. But the real supermen are the first responders and law enforcment who put their lives at risk everyday.

You're on my team, now :D
I've always been a Superman guy. Yeah, I like Bats too but he's not my number one by any stretch. (Spidey, Daredevil, and Supes are all above him for me.)
Not completely connected, but I can't help but post this quote from Greg Rucka that I love to trot out when people complain about Superman being too much of a goody-goody:
"...For the contingent out there who sneer at heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman and Captain America, those icons who still, at their core, represent selfless sacrifice for the greater good, and who justify their contempt by saying, oh, it's so unrealistic, no one would ever be so noble... grow up. Seriously. Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it's the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters."
Batman isn't my number one, either...

Well, then you're inventing yourself the story, because the editor explicitely says they don't feel like there's something broken that they need to fix.
They will only take some good elements from other universes to improve their main line: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=58625 (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=58625)

And as a non-hardcore Marvel reader who still knows what is happening in the Marvel universe, I'd say so far they have not done a single bad thing they couldn't undo without need of a reboot.
Then why bother with a massive jumble like this? It sounds like Crisis on Infinite Earths back in the 80s.

That's the right comparison. It
is a reboot. The only difference is that unlike Crisis, Marvel's universal configuration and continuity are not convulted or confusing.
I disagree. Part of the reason I never read the "main" comic books on a long-term basis was because I would always be lost as to which ones to follow. I mean, how many different Spider-Man comics existed in the 90s? There was Amazing, Spectacular, Web of, and simply Spider-Man. What's the point of all these different titles?

Dude, that's a completely easy answer: Amazing. Just the tiniest bit of research could have answer that. Web and the others are simply spin-offs often not important at all for continuity.
Marvel has never been as continuity-convulted as DC used to be prior to 2009.

Ugh, this is why I kinda stop reading comics in the past few years. So many ending the main canon and rebooting things over again. It was good when DC did Crisis on Infinite Earths but now it's annoying. I haven't bother with DC much either in the last few years. Final Crisis was okay and I like Blackest Night even though I never finish it.
I kinda stay away from Marvel at the moment. I'll read their older stuff but their 'current' universe is a mess. Probably why they're blowing it up and starting over.
DC is my main fix. Ever since the New 52 launch, I've loved it.

Read Hawkeye. That's excellent, up to add far as I've gotten, and almost completely self contained.
They're putting an Omnibus out this year. I'll check it out. :)

I disagree. Part of the reason I never read the "main" comic books on a long-term basis was because I would always be lost as to which ones to follow. I mean, how many different Spider-Man comics existed in the 90s? There was Amazing, Spectacular, Web of, and simply Spider-Man. What's the point of all these different titles?
Funny how when Disney bought Marvel I predicted this was going to happen and here we is.
This will do nothing but alienate a lot of longtime fans and after the new car smell wears off, the "nufans" will leave too.
The simple issue right now is marvel is so caught in maintaining a super-pc image, they've boxed themselves into a corner in regards to what kinds of stories they can tell, along with rampant character dilution due to many of the characters being found in multiple ongoing books.
They also have trouble keeping good writers like Fraction and JMS because they don't pay them for shit, and once you get your name out it's off to tv-land to earn real money.
A super-pc image? I wouldn't know as I don't read comic books these days. The dilution issue is hardly Disney's doing. Marvel's been doing it for at least 30 years I'd say.
We all know they're doing this reboot to synchronize the Marvel universe with the Star Wars universe, so the events of Star Wars are canon within the Marvel Universe.
Hellblazer Vol 1: Original Sins
Gotta love John Constantine, the guy who won't chase a bloodthirsty demon into a sewer because he's wearing his "good coat." :laugh: This was a really good set of comics, though. Zed has ridiculous 80s hair, and there's a bit of Lawnmower Man-esque cyber space shenanigans. :laugh: And I really didn't need to read that much about Swamp Things sex life.
Currently reading Marvel Star Wars from the late 70s. Adventures that go beyond the movie. Guess you can call it EU.

I'm reading the very beginning of Hellblazer. Constantine debuted in Swamp Thing before that, and even showed up in Crisis on Infinite Earths for something like two panels. I'm not gonna go out of my way to get either of those, though. Original Sins feels like a good enough starting point.
Right I was reading up on the Original Sins TPB and it seems like a good place as any to start.
The new edition includes two issues of Swamp Thing... where he and Constantine more or less have a mystical three way with Swamp Thing's wife. Yeah... :laugh:
WAT :D
No shit.

Not really. MAX was one of Marvel's best line of works, and it sure as hell would not exist under disney's tenure.
Book saturation really wasn't a thing until the mid 90's, either.

No wait, are you really being serious or is this internet sarcasm?
Before the Incal
This was pretty good for the most part, but it lost me when it actually reintroduced the Incal itself and the circumstances that led to the original story right at the end. And for whatever reason, Jodorowsky actually wrote "boo hoo hoooo" in the speech bubbles whenever someone is sad, which completely killed some emotionally heavy moments.
Hellblazer Volume 2: The Devil You Know
This was good, but volume one was better. The conclusion to the Resurrection Crusade story was annoyingly disconnected from John, who basically just watched from the sidelines as all the important stuff happened. The flashback to the Newcastle Incident was very, very good, but some of the added details didn't quite work for me. Like, where the f**k did that first demon come from exactly?
Then John faces off against Nergal... which would have been better if Delano didn't fall back on that silly Lawnmower Man crap again. And then the next two issues are all about John's dreams, one of which was a really obnoxious, unsubtle, indulgent piece of anti-nuclear power propaganda, and the other was awesome because of the Arthurian ties.
The book ended on a bang with The Horrorist, which simply put, was excellent, even if I didn't quite understand why the supernatural stuff was happening. And it had David Lloyd art, which was pretty cool.
Hellblazer Volume 3: The Fear Machine
This nine issue story arc was actually really good for the first seven. The scene on the train where all this crazy shit goes down was really damn cool, and the machine itself is rather reminiscent of Halloween III. It's too bad, then, that the last two issues spiral into a bunch of man hating, neo-pagan nonsense, complete with the howler, "It's time for femaleness!" I know it was the 80s, but damn, lay off the cocaine.
Read the latest issue of Batman 52 the other night. I'm really digging where they're going with this Joker origin story.
I sometimes read comic books but not that much.

-_-
Seriously, they're pretty easy to find now, since they started reprinting them back in October. And on top of that, the new editions are actually numbered, and they weren't before. A lot of Vertigo trades weren't numbered, for some odd reason.
Hellblazer Vol 4: The Family Man
The main story arc here was great, and it was interesting seeing John go up against a completely human enemy, with no supernatural characteristics. It was pretty weird how it was broken up by guest issues from other writers, though. That being said, the ones by Grant Morrison and Neil Gaiman were both rather good, and Morrison's story could actually be comprehended by the human mind for once. The last guest writer, though, the less said about his story, the better. It was just too... silly.
Next volume finishes up Delano's run, and Garth Ennis' begins. Looking forward to that. 8)
Just read JMS's Superman Earth One: Volume 3.
I found it pretty entertaining, enjoyed it for what it was: basically a movie in comic book form.
But it's a little funny that the message could be understood as "We need a good guy with a gun to protect us from bad guy with a gun", considering how liberal JMS is.

No, that's not my shelf. I just have the first six volumes in the new editions. Volume ten is out on Tuesday... but have to wait until August for volume eleven. :(
I've already read Preacher, which was awesome. Looking forward to the AMC show. I'm intending on going back and finishing Sandman eventually, and possibly read more Swamp Thing. And Scalped looks awesome.
Hellblazer Volume 5: Dangerous Habits
So this volume splits nicely in half between the last several issues of Delano's run, and the first story arc in Ennis'. The Delano stuff wasn't bad, and definitely had some good ideas going on, but once again, he needed to lay off the acid when he was writing. Mother of God, that shit was weird. The actual "Dangerous Habits" story was excellent, though, and a great start for Garth Ennis on the title. It's also where the movie drew a lot of its elements from.

Hellblazer Vol 6: Bloodlines
This one was pretty good for the most part, but holy f**k, was it long. It mainly consisted of standalone single issue stories, but there were two longer arcs, both of which were quite good. I just wish the one involving Jack the Ripper would have used a different conspiracy theory than the one used in From Hell. The single issues were mostly good as well, with a few meh-ish ones. The best, though, was when the King of the Vampires showed up and John just told him to go eat shit. :laugh:

Aliens vs Predator Omnibus Vol 1
These stories were all rather good, even if War's ending was a little abrupt. The original and Eternal were my favorites.
Predator Omnibus Vol 1
Also very good, even if Cold War hasn't aged particularly well and the end of Schaef's arc was left annoyingly unresolved. Blood Feud was way too weird, IMO.
Also, my copy of Aliens Vol 1 just came in the other day. I'm gonna start on that soon.

About ready for a Marvel Reboot. Ugh, the shit they've done.
Finished reading Outbreak in the Aliens Omnibus. It was pretty great, stupid edits aside. I also didn't care for how they jumped back and forth in time when showing how the outbreak on Earth started. Got a little messy there for a bit. I loved all the creepy dream sequences, though.
Wait until you get to Nightmare Asylum! ;D
I love comics, tho I'm more into atypical comics like AvP, Hellboy etc. My fave comic story of all time is Predator: Concrete Jungle, which may b because it was my first full comic read when I was a kid.

But... why?
In other, better news, Howard the Duck is back!
Okay, finished volume one of the Aliens omnibus:
Female War: The story wasn't terrible per se, but the whole thing felt very weirdly contrived. So guy fell through a random hole in the derelict, which turned the ship back on, which sent a psychic vision to Ripley revealing the real Alien homeworld, where they found an even nastier super duper Alien Queen, which could draw all of the aliens on Earth to her, allowing them to nuke them. And then "The Alien" revealed that the Space Jockey had planned this all along...
(https://stronglang.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/the-thing-voodoo-bullshit.png)
"Theory of Alien Propagation": Pretty interesting little short story, I remember reading it in the Outbreak TPB years ago.
"The Alien": This one was okay, but damn, the Space Jockey turned out to be a great big pussy. And with that f**king toga he was wearing, he might as well have been one of the classical statue guys from Prometheus. :P
Female War had some good ideas, but the ending was very anticlimactic and the artwork wasn't all that good. Honestly, a war to rid Earth of xenomorphs should last longer. The covers were amazing, though. Theory of Alien Propagation had some great ideas, such as having creatures that preyed on Aliens and the idea that nothing outside the homeworld could adequately contain Alien expansion. As for the Space Jockey, the scene was very reminiscent of when the Engineer smashed David. I wonder if Ridley got any ideas from the comics?

So, I've read the first four issues of Alias, and it's pretty great so far. It's like a noir detective story that just happens to involve superheroes. Officially stoked for the Jessica Jones Netflix series now.
I decided to start reading Valiant today.
Been reading Harbinger, it's about an organization that trains people with psychic abilities, the protagonist is a teenager boy.
So far I've read #0-#5, and I'm really enjoying it.
I think this story has great movie potential and people could like it, much of the style reminds of young adult novels like Maze Runners or The Mortal Instruments but more mature, and there's also some epic supervillain stuff too and nice mythos :D
I definitely recommend everyone to read the first issues at least.
This is a thing I made for my Studio class... It's an adaptation of a Superman comic by Max Landis.
The Joker has come to Metropolis and he totally knows what his demands are.

Frank Miller will write THE DARK KNIGHT III:

QuoteDC Entertainment announced today that bestselling, iconic Batman writer and artist Frank Miller will write the epic conclusion of the celebrated THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS saga.
The "THE DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE" is the sequel to Miller's 1986 classic THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS – heralded by TIME Magazine as one of the 10 greatest graphic novels of all time – and its 2001-2002 follow-up series BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN.
Miller will be joined by acclaimed writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JOKER, and WONDER WOMAN) on the eight-issue comic book periodical, to be published twice a month under the DC Comics imprint. Marking the 30th anniversary of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS original series, this periodical is slated for publication beginning in late Fall 2015.
"Batman remains my favorite comic book hero and a sequel to Dark Knight is going to be daunting," said Miller, "but we'll do our best."
"We are thrilled to have Frank back home at DC writing Batman," according to Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, Co-Publishers for DC Entertainment. "The story he and Brian have crafted is an astounding and triumphant conclusion to this seminal body of work which influenced and shaped generations of readers and creators alike."
According to Azzarello, "It's been an amazing experience collaborating with Frank these past six months. I think we have an epic story that these characters truly deserve."
Artists for the project have yet to be announced.

This comic was f**king legit. Awesome as hell noir story set in the underbelly of the Marvel universe. Definitely looking forward to the Netflix series now.

Well Azzarello is cowriting, so the insanity might be somewhat reined in.
I never thought I'd say this, but I've been reading volume seven of Hellblazer, and I've found a bit where I feel Ennis has gone too far.
Spoiler
Out of nowhere, he reveals that Jesus was the product of Gabriel raping Mary at God's behest. What the f**k, Ennis? The sheer lack of tact is astounding.
There's none of the dark humor he usually employs, either. It's just mean spirited as f**k.
That's why I never read Ennis.

He's usually a lot better about framing that sort of thing than this. My only guess is that his Hellblazer stuff is fairly early in his career, and he hadn't quite figured it out yet.

Conquest, f**king YES (I think you should read Annihilation first, too), the second, no, it's a waste of time.

I was just interested in reading some Ultron from the comics and I remembered that the first images I ever saw of Ultron (even before the movie was announced) were from those two comic arcs. Thanks for the input :)
News: Judge Dredds long awaited comic with Judge Death and the dark judges will come out in July this year! This marks the first time Judge Death is back for over 10 years time as he comes back from hell to judge all living in Mega city one.

My local comic book shop owner recommended a new Mark Miller series, Chrononauts. It's surprisingly good. Has anyone else picked it up?
So, I never picked up on this before, but the almanac at the end of League of Extraordinary Gentleman Vol 2 actually references The Big Lebowski. Mind=blown.
Oh boy do I read comics? Yes, like my life depended on it. I'm a poor college student with next to no money - besides what's left over that the college doesn't use. But even then it goes straight to the weeks groceries. I can't really say I go to a comic book shop and buy comics to read. But I have torrented some just because I was desperate. But the majority of what I read is uploaded to two sites I visit on a regular basis they update at least every week. The first is View Comic, the second is Comic Castle. Comic Castle for instance has every single Amazing Spider-Man comic released, and as the worlds biggest Spidey fanboy that's great. View comic has stuff like Judge Dredd, or Predator, or other good things that I want to read but lack because Comic Castle doesn't have them. They compliment each other quite well, and both fit my every need. I read Dark Horse, Image, IDW, Marvel, DC, and more as well. But yeah, comics are my specialty if it's not AVP, Predator, or other key movies, or games, or books I then fanboy about comics.
I really only read The Uncanny X-men. I've tried reading other comics but I've never been able to get into them. Only other series I read other than X-men is Batman, occasionally.

I've read through a bunch of Batman trades lately:
The Man Who Laughs: This is easily one of my favorite Joker stories ever, and he comes off as just insanely creepy. The crossover with Alan Scott that the book included was pretty damn good as well.
Mad Love: f**king hilarious, and disturbing, all at once. Getting inside Harley's head was a delightfully strange experience.
Strange Apparitions: These stories from the 70s were pretty cool on the whole, even if the writing has dated significantly. Some of the ones included in the book didn't really have anything to do with the overall arc, as well.
Batman and the Monster Men & Batman and the Mad Monk: I had a lot of fun with this duology. Seeing Batman go up against some really out there adversaries like genetic monstrosities and possibly vampiric cult leaders was a real treat. This version of Hugo Strange was pretty entertaining as well, if a tad generic.
Prey: Strange is involved yet again, and holy shit, he is one f**ked up dude in this. Also, we find out that Batman decided on using a Batmobile after the wind was in the wrong direction to use his glider, and he had to walk all the way home. :laugh:
I've also read the first five collections of the New 52 run by Scott Snyder. Overall he's done a fantastic job, even if the latter parts of Zero Year dragged on too long for my tastes and the new Mr. Freeze origin is just terrible.
Just curious - do you guys prefer buying the singles or waiting for the collected editions? I'm starting to get overwhelmed by my singles and my collection isn't anything to shout about. I can't imagine how it is for others.
I usually wait for collected editions. DC's slow as hell release schedule doesn't exactly make that easy, though.
The new comic from Dark Horse looks interesting. Has anyone read it?

I believe Colder is an existing series. I've never read it myself but I always see good reviews of the other books.
You're right. It's the Toss the Bones storyline that is new.
I am new and I really would like to know if there is any predator comics planned which will come out in 2016. Also I am reading the predator omnibus vol 1-4 and the avp omnibuses.If there is anything you can advice me to read other than those i am open to suggestions.
Pop on over the Literature Board for more threads about AvP or Predator books - http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?board=28.0
There was a big crossover series called Fire and Stone which cover Alien, Predator, Prometheus and AvP. That was out last year. We're expecting Dark Horse to announce some new stuff at NYCC soon.
Thanks a lot.I will have a look at the Fire And Stone.
Volumes four and five of Savage Sword of Conan arrived in the mail today. 8)

Happy New Year 2016.
I pick up Batman vs. TMNT a while back. It's not bad at all. Very enjoyable crossover and the art work is solid.
Been reading Old Man Logan, I preferred him in his future storyline. There was so much to explore there. I'd rather they passed on idea an brought the real Wolverine to life.
Old Man Logan: 7/10 - worth the read.
I love comics and graphic novels. My collection includes Knightfall, The Long Halloween, Arkham Asylum, Joker, Kingdom Come, Identity Crisis and lots of other DC titles.
Recently picked up some Marvel Epic Collections including Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers and X-Men.
Also like Dark Horse Aliens comics and the new Marvel Star Wars.
Pick up a issue of the Boom Studios Power Rangers comic and it's not too bad. Fans of the original show should enjoy it.
I'm rereading Preacher before the TV show airs. I'm roughly halfway through, and while the New Orleans arc is a bit better than I remember it being, it's still mainly a draggy side story where only about one or two important plot developments happen.
This is probably the dumbest thing that Marvel did in a while
http://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/25/captain-america-villain-hydra-nick-spencer-tom-brevoort
Yeaaahhhh...I'm not sure why they thought that one would go down well. I'm not even sure how well that fits in retroactively.
I hope this is not a way to get people to read the comics just to make Captain America cool to the younger readers when he always had been a cool character.
I heard about it and found it to be a pretty terrible idea. Taking marvel's most incorruptible boy scout and making him a Nazi spy? Kinda ruins the character for me actually.
I'm no Captain America expert, but when I read about this "twist" I immediately thought they just ruined the character and everything he stood for. I can't imagine why anyone would think this is a good idea.
So I'm rereading The Infinity Gauntlet, and I'm keep chuckling at how Doctor Strange is rocking a porn stache in it. Also, Thanos is pretty damn awesome. "Let nihilism reign supreme!" Nihilism, eh? Sounds exhausting.

"I believe in
NOTHING Avengers! Nothing!"
I got the first volume of Chris Claremont's run on X-Men.
Also I have Moon Knight laying around and have been reading some of that, been pretty fun.
I read tons of comics. I don't know exactly how many I have but sitting around the 1200 range. Got almost all the original runs of the Aliens, Terminator & Predator comics, Transformers, Ninja Turtles (both black & white & color versions), Real Ghostbusters, Super Mario Brothers, a bunch of old DC horror comics, some 80s super hero stuff but not much. I don't read much for newer comics. I follow Aliens & Predator but that's about it. I still haven't read everything I own, I've been waiting until I get complete runs before I start.
Currently reading Aliens, Terminator, certain Star Wars, Faster than Light, some Hulk, Scarlet Traces.
Anyone know any other series similar to the ones i mention, preferably set in space and with or without some horror in it? Tried Caliban, wasn't too impressed with that story. It was a bit like Alien with only Ash as the bad guy.
Anyone read Descender, Invisble Republic, Low, Divinity, Chrononauts, The Wake, Nameless, Roche Limit?
I'm jumping headfirst into DC: Rebirth, this being the first time ever I'll be reading DC comics regularly. Honestly, I've always wanted to read DC but never knew where to start.
Just want to recommend you guys a cool space based sci fi comic series since you all like aliens..They're also making a TV series out of it.

Cool, if you know any other space horror types let me know, i might check out The Disciples and Southern Cross as well.
I picked up an indy-ish type series called Telikos Protocol which I've enjoyed so far. They've only done a single volume though.
Was rather sad to read Mignola's last Hellboy. And he ended it in his own enigmatic minimalistic style too.
Thank you Mike. Thank you soooo much!
Elsewhere I'm currently re-reading a lot of older Aliens (managed to score some of the Omnibus' really cheap off Ebay. Paid $6 for volume 1 & 3 in mint condition). Also catching up on Black Science & Dredd.
Read Predator: Bad Blood. Thought it was f**king great.

There's just not enough Aliens & Prometheus comics to read so I gotta branch out..I'm really just into Space Horror but unique scary supernatural, good sci-fi set in space or alien invasions are great too. Thinking of trying Hellboy and The Witcher, but where to start?
I also ordered Southern Cross and Disciples, both are space horrors...looking into The Telikos Protocol as well. Corporal Hicks do you consider it as horror also or just good sci fi?
Edit: Just looked again at The Telikos Protocol volume 1. The story and art look fantastic. Definitely will order this one too.
Nice...Wes Craven directing Disciples into a space horror tv show...loking forward to this and Faster than Light becoming TV Shows.

What have you been reading?
I sat down and reread the Wolverine miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, the one set in Japan. I can definitely see how it was a big deal at the time, but to be honest, the whole thing is way too melodramatic and overcooked for me. I actually liked the movie better in this case.
Here's another I just ordered for 6.50$ shipped.
Deep Gravity http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22716591-deep-gravity

Start with Hellboy Seed of Destruction. Right at the very beginning. There is a continuous arc throughout the entire Hellboy catalogue. Seed is the best place to start.

Reading Transmetropolitan right now. So far pretty good.
Really liking these series:

Recently I just finish reading through the 5 issue series DINOSAURS ATTACK! which is based on the trading cards of the same name from the late 80's. It was pretty cool if you want to see dinosaurs just rampaging through & killing everyone in sight. Has some decent gore/kills. It may not be for everybody but it's right up my alley.
Oh crap will you stop it lol. I told myself just 2 months ago only Aliens, Prometheus and AVP comics now I've added another 10 titles..spending a lot of time on that goodreads.com website building shelves...friggin addictive..help me...
Just finished a Godzilla shelf don't make me start a Dinosaur one please..btw new Jurassic Park series coming soon.. :P
I meant Jurassic World. Just looked at that Dinosaur Attack....that's some messed up bizarro shit lol.

Oh cool, I'll be down for some Jurassic comics, I got the original movie adaption & a couple issues of the Raptor comics that came after. Yea Dinos Attack is pretty messed up stuff haha I remember the trading cards when I was a kid. At least it's only a 5 issue run & no more so wouldn't take up much if you were to get them. I was satisfied with them but I like bizarro stuff haha The Thing From Another World comics were pretty rad too, continued stories from Carpenter's movie.
I'm surprised I never heard of Dino Attack before.
By the way, have you ever read Age of Reptiles from Dark Horse? Really well drawn Dinosaur comic, no humans in it just dinos doing their thing...highly recommend that whole series to any dino fan. There's about 3 series in total. Maybe 4.
And yes sign me up for anything that's got to do with The Thing. That's a top 3 or 5 franchise to me. You read the latest Viking episode correct? Free series from DH on their app. I'm dying for new stuff on that. The whole comic and movie series is just too damn good. Call them, tell them we need more lol.
Here's a link to all the titles:

Free series from DH on their app. I'm dying for new stuff on that. The whole comic and movie series is just too damn good. Call them, tell them we need more lol.
Here's a link to all the titles:

No I haven't read any Age of Reptiles but I'm certainly interested to check it out! I love dinosaurs. Unfortunately I'm not updated in tech to use any apps so no I haven't read any Viking. I use.. "alternate methods" to read comics or just buy real copies when I come across them. I'm kind of a stickler for having the real thing over digital even though I do have a ton of digital, just don't dig reading them on my computer. I do recommend The Thing comics put out by Dark Horse in the 90s. Definitely some cool stories & Macready appears in some too.
I hear you. I had to get it though when I read it was only released in digital form.

I'm sure if you Google The Thing: The Northman Nightmare you'll find it somewhere. It's a prequel to The Thing supposedly...cool story wish it were longer.

Oh yea I have that The Thing story, just haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I have all of The Thing comics. I've read all the previous ones but that one so far.
I have the other 3 series. I believe it was a 2 part, followed by a 4 and than a final 4 part series. The TPB that collects the first 6 is so rare...
You're sure about having the Viking story in physical form? Damn, you gave me a new mission for the day....
There is also a 5th story. The Thing: Questionable Research. I'm sure I have these. I don't think you have The Northman Nightmare it says it was only released in digital format. Pretty sure it can be read somewhere on the internet.

Yep I'm sure I have it because it is in digital form :P I have a large collection of digital despite what I said about not enjoying them as much as a physical but if its the only way for me to read it then I'll deal with it. I haven't had the cash lately to put towards physical copies. I should count how many I have one of these days. I know its roughly in the 1100 range for physical, who knows in digital form, could be less could be more. I just love to read em

Friggin expensive..like 6$ CDN for a regular issue, I only buy Alien, Prometheus & AVP from a local comic shop. The rest I buy only in TPB format and pre order from Amazon.ca or wait until the price drops... I just look for deals on ebay from sellers in Canada, sometimes in the USA although almost anything coming from there has gone up triple in shipping charges over the last few years...supposedly for oil surcharges...complete bs they should lower the price now with oil down so much...Anyhow happy to have gotten 8 TPB's and a comic for 62$ CDN yesterday...hard to find what you want from one buyer.
What else are you reading?
I'm reading Alien, Prometheus, AVP, Faster Than Light, Southern Cross, The Disciples, Dead Space, The Thing, The Terminator, The Witcher, The Witchfinder, Star Wars, Superman, Age of Reptiles, Baltimore, Hellboy, and looking to get into World of Warcraft, Godzilla, Locke & Key, Hulk, 30 Days of Night, The October Faction, Telikos Protocol, Silent Hill, BRPD...
Yea I'm in Canada too. Lived in Vancouver BC for most of my life so finding a lot of physicals was easy but I no longer live there & the nearest local shop is about an hour & 45 min drive from me so I don't get to go there often. TPB's are certainly cool though I don't have many, I have lots of original runs of my Aliens & Predator stuff & don't see a reason to replace with TPB unless I don't have it. Wish I can say they were the only ones I buy but I'm all over haha I collect Aliens, Pred, Transformers, Ninja Turtles, almost any 80s cartoon property, Star Wars, I could go for a while haha I just love 80s cartoons & sci-fi horror so that's all I collect in whatever format. Comics, movies, toys, whatever I can get my hands on :p
Here's some of my collection. Pics are a little outdated so there's a bunch more since then not pictured yet. It's a pain dragging all this out to take pics :P

There's just not enough Aliens & Prometheus comics to read so I gotta branch out..I'm really just into Space Horror but unique scary supernatural, good sci-fi set in space or alien invasions are great too. Thinking of trying Hellboy and The Witcher, but where to start?
Start with Hellboy Seed of Destruction. Right at the very beginning. There is a continuous arc throughout the entire Hellboy catalogue. Seed is the best place to start.
Hey there Prez & Gilfryd,
Thanks for recommending the Hellboy dude. So I read my first one last night Hellboy: The Corpse https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22602091-hellboy?from_search=true (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22602091-hellboy?from_search=true) and that's exactly the type of read I've been looking for.. Mostly stories based in creepy countrysides. :) This one had everything, are all the Hellboy or most them based in similar dark eerie settings?
I also got a Baltimore Novel, it's looking pretty good so far too. Anyways, starting to get into this whole Mignolaverse.. with BPRD, Baltimore, The Witchfinder, Hellboy..
I found this great link here, what do you think about this reading order? Sounds better or?

Great to hear. What I truly love about Hellboy is that sometimes the stories are set in quite epic settings but always seem to have focus on the characters themselves.
I think I need to re-read the whole bloody lot again :-)
I've recently gotten big into Mignola's work as well. Just finished up volume 6 of Hellboy a few days ago and absolutely love it so far. In terms of the Hellboy mythos, vol 6 is like The Empire Strikes Back/I am your father moment for him.
I'm currently reading the Baltimore novel. I originally read volume one of the Baltimore comics without realizing that I should have read the novel first. Baltimore is great as well. Just note that it isn't set in the same universe as Hellboy, BPRD, Abe Sapien, Witchfinder, etc.
Another really great Mignola piece to get yours hands on is The Incredible Screw on Head. There's a really nice hardcover volume that collects that story and a few others, and they are all worth reading for sure.

Hey there, I finished reading Baltimore, Vol. 4: Chapel of Bones last night and although I found it interesting I may turn to B.P.R.D. or Hellboy next. I didn't know Baltimore was about a vampire hunter. I'm more into the Supernatural stuff and haunted house - mansion - cemetery - dark countryside type of things.
From all the Mignola comics, especially Hellboy, B.R.P.D & the Witchfinder, which do you find has the best horror - spooky locations theme? All of them or?
I haven't read BPRD or any of the other spinoffs yet, but Hellboy sounds like it would be up your alley. Very mythic/folklore heavy, lots of global haunted locations and weird Lovecraftian creatures, witches, etc.

Was rather sad to read Mignola's last Hellboy. And he ended it in his own enigmatic minimalistic style too.
Thank you Mike. Thank you soooo much!
Elsewhere I'm currently re-reading a lot of older Aliens (managed to score some of the Omnibus' really cheap off Ebay. Paid $6 for volume 1 & 3 in mint condition). Also catching up on Black Science & Dredd.
It's not over lol.

Great news but odd though - first original graphic novel in 6 years? They did Hellboy Midnight Circus 2 to 3 years ago. Either way I'm happy :-)
Hey Prez,
I just watched Hellboy the movie again last night, although they really nailed the actor Ron Perlman to play Hellboy, I found the movie pretty damn boring and repetitive with the same monster over and over and over... That guy Abe Sapien really gets on my nerves too. The sceneries and locations were nothing like in the Hellboy comics I've read, no night time scenes in rural settings, haunted houses in the forests and hills, nothing lol.
So I just wanted to ask, if I buy the first couple of Hellboy Trade paper backs, will it be pretty much the same, the origin of Hellboy, BPRD headquarters, more of Abe Sapien and all that boring stuff or there's eventually some of the dark shyte we talked about out in them hills lol.
I'm a huge fan of the Metroid video game series & have been reading the manga's lately for them.

Totally agree - though in recent years I've come to enjoy the film(s) more and more.
With the trades you'll find that Mignola does have an overarching story arc but in between he takes Hellboy and co on some pretty wild adventures - most of them drawn from real life historical myths, beliefs, tales and legends.
Found some great deals on a Hellboy TPB collection Volumes 7-12 & B.P.R.D. Volumes 1-11 so I had to buy them..:)
Also watched Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron I give it a 9/10..that's some good stuff!
Need to write this down so I don't derail lol.

I'm reading through the IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the moment. Pretty interesting new take on them if you're into that kind of thing. I like my cartoon related stuff as much as horror & sci-fi.
There's 3 things that drive me nuts! Not sure why, but I really hate them, in this order I think:
1. Anything Power Rangers
2. Anything Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
3. Anything Lego
But to each his own of course. I'm sure everyone hates something. Start a thread lol. What do you hate most?

haha yea we wouldn't get along real well in person then. I'm a big Turtle nut since the 80s & love playing the Lego games. Don't care about Power Rangers though. Transformers is my main jam for cartoon related stuff but I just love the 80s cartoons in general. I grew up on it all. Not gonna get into things I hate, that list is very numerous & a lot of it is stuff made in the last 15 years or so. I hate newer technology with a passion. Never touched an Iphone in my life & don't intend to ever do so. 90% of humans on this planet is also on my list haha The way everything is PC now a days drives me insane too. But yea, that's as far as I'll go or people hear will begin to hate me pretty fast. I'm not into making enemies though it seems to happen pretty easy for me.
I hate Gobots, GI Joe and He Man crap too g-d dammit! LOL

Well damn, yea there's no friendship to be had here then cause I watch all that too lol And I don't get along with opposites to well. Oh well.
*Needs to get up off of ass and finish up comics just sitting on my shelf*
I'm about to read Jurassic Park:Redemption. Don't know anything about it yet aside from it takes place 13 years after JP1. I think the 2 kids Lex & Tim from the first movie are in it but don't quote me on that. I guess I'll find out momentarily. After that I have Future Quest lined up which is the latest crossover with the old Hanna Barbera cartoons so it's Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Herculoids all together kind of thing.
Let me know what you really think of either one. You just got em?
Yea, I've had the digitals sitting on my computer for a bit, just getting around to them. Just finished the 1st of 5 issues for JP. It's a little poorly written & jumps locations abruptly a lot. It definitely does focus on the 2 kids being grown up & head of their own corporations. Dr.Wu is still there creating dinos for some bad corporate person they haven't shown the face of yet. I'll finish it off but can't say it's all that great at the moment. They just need to explain things more & not jump to different locations so abruptly. Again, only 1st issue so maybe that will change as I go. I can't help but shake my head at Lex's corporation name. Lexxcrops. It's way too close to LexCorp for me to take seriously haha

https://www.goodreads.com/series/157526-jurassic-park-comics
Just as Bizzaro always does the opposite, I found it fitting you selected the worst rated one of the series, as Negatron. lol
I actually didn't even know those other ones existed. I have the original movie adaption run & a few issues ofJP Adventures that came out right after the movie adaption so this Redemption is the first newer JP related comic I've heard about. I'll have to search out the other ones. Totally coincidence I happened to pick the worst rated of them haha or it's just my luck :P. Ah well, I'll still finish it. I don't abandon a comic once I start it regardless if I dig it or not.
I might buy it too someday since it's volume 1, damn I'm in all kinds of stories and comics now it's getting crazy. I got like 20 TPB's this week alone, at about 8$ each...not bad I guess. I got almost the complete sets of 30 days of night, the only vamp story I like from all these new ones, Hellboy & a bunch of BPRD. Not to mention all the rest and more coming as we speak lol..an I still have a bunch of Terminatos to finish.
Do you have any Godzilla ones btw? Any good?
I know the feeling dude. I have around 1200 comics & that's not even including what I have in digital form haha It gets difficult to keep up with everything so I only stick with certain proprties these days just to keep it at a somewhat minimum. It's still a ridiculous amount. And yes I have just about all the Godzilla comics both from Dark Horse and IDW and they are pretty awesome. Totally worth grabbing in my opinion.
Good stuff! Yea, I will grab the Godzillas at some point. Right now I ordered The Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17934769-the-legion-of-super-heroes and will order Crisis on Infinite Earths as I like these first stories with Darkseid & Anti-Monitor villains..and want to catch up with all those new DC movies coming out...
Next is an Apocalypse & X-Men run...trying to decide if I should start with his backstory from'96 or go way back to mid 80's with all of the fall of the mutants storylines etc...there's some well written stories in these series.
As for the new stuff, I will buy DC but Marvel is producing some mediocre art and storylines, they are getting destroyed in monthly sales..I think they had like 3 issues in the top 40..and 2 were star wars...which are great btw..don't want to tell you what I'm planning to get from these considering how many star wars comics are out there, both from dark horse and now marvel..oh man....find me a TPB collecting addiction hotline..
That's cool. I honestly haven't kept up with the super hero stuff. I stopped collecting/reading them in the mid 90s & mostly stick with horror/sci fi & movie/cartoon related stuff. Nothing against the super hero stuff, it was just part of my slimming down what to collect process haha I have a few Alien TBP's but not many. 95% of my collection is individual issues. I dig getting into a story & getting to the end of it with the "Continued next issue" thing & pulling out the next issue in excitement to continue. Plus I love artwork for a lot of stuff & I just get more cover arts to drool over doing it individually :P I still follow the super hero movies & tv shows though not all of them. Mainly just The Flash haha
That's my problem though, after finishing with my Aliens TPB run, I searched and found almost every sci-fi horror TPB out there, than I branched out to space sci-fi once that finished,..Afterwards, I started with the supernatural stuff but than I realized there's some pretty good space sci fi in some regular super hero stuff...All this since the month of June..I needed something to kill time while going through some type of divorce bullshit. These reads have been ultra helpful lol. Need to kill some more time before I'm ready to go out and find another leech, err gf.
Sorry to hear you're going through that, can relate for sure. My last relationship went on for 10 years & didn't end so well. I've been single now for 12 years since that ended just keeping myself in a little fantasy world box of movies, cartoons and comics. Haven't even had an interest to go searching again because at the stage I'm at now, I'd see it as a distraction from all my reading & watching which certainly seems to mean so much more to me haha Silly I know but I prefer it this way now. Reading & watching has always been great therapy for me. It's crazy trying to keep up with it all though. My collecting doesn't stop at just 1 thing. Example for Transformers, I'll collect comics, all the cartoons, as many toys as I can, video games, it just gets stupid expensive fast and I do that for every franchise I'm hardcore into.
Well, I finished off the rest of that Jurassic Park:Redemption. It was kinda weird. Stayed consistent with the feeling of being disjointed & abruptly jumping locations for all 5 issues and that bugged me. It's certainly a "What if" universe story as it simply cannot take place in the movie canon because someone gets eaten in the story that is still well alive in Jurassic World. Want a laugh? I'll put in a spoiler tag in case anyone actually wants to read it but I doubt they will :P

The villain turned out to be the villain from the 2nd JP movie. Yea he apparently survived being jumped by the baby T-Rex at the end of the movie just to come back to create more dinosaurs so he can ruin the Hammond name because the main plot is that the kid Tim wants to re-open a new park with just herbivores. He's working with Dr.Wu to create new dinosaurs but his evil uncle planted Dodgeson (yep he's back in it again but no one cares) as part of the crew & he lets out the carnivores which apparently weren't supposed to be made in the first place but you know evil uncles these days and their agendas. Overall aside from a few shots of dinos eating people & legs sticking out of dino mouths, it was more of less lame and I only pushed myself to finish it just to get it over with. Oh yea Dr.Wu is the one I mentioned before that gets eaten.
Here's a few more interesting ones:

That's my problem though, after finishing with my Aliens TPB run, I searched and found almost every sci-fi horror TPB out there, than I branched out to space sci-fi once that finished,..Afterwards, I started with the supernatural stuff but than I realized there's some pretty good space sci fi in some regular super hero stuff...All this since the month of June..I needed something to kill time while going through some type of divorce bullshit. These reads have been ultra helpful lol. Need to kill some more time before I'm ready to go out and find another leech, err gf.
Sorry to hear about that mate. Chin up.
Have you tried reading Y The Last Man. I had to finish the damn thing once I started reading issue 1. Brilliant comic series.
I've tried to get into Saga but keep hitting a brick wall.
Try to read Rick Remender/Matteo Scalera's Black Science. It's a great pulp scifi comic with a modern bit of nasty added to it.

Thanks m8. And thanks for suggestions. I knew about Saga, but same here, I get a brick wall when I view and read samples of it. The reviews are great though, but it seems too mainstream for me. I would like to read Y the last man, but there's a problem lol, I HATE dystopian science fiction. Hate Mad Max movies and all those too.
Black Science is very intriguing, but I seem to hit a brick wall again everytime I look at previews. Is it like a Dr.Who type of world? I'm very picky with Sci-Fi, if there's no space, horror, or a feeling of vastness like Star Wars. I will give it another try.
Right now I'm really liking anything Aliens-Prometheus-AVP, Star Wars, Terminator, Alien invasion type of Sci-Fi, or anything Sci-Fi Horror. If you have more suggestions also, please let me know! What else are you reading Prez?
After months of actually owning it, I've finally gotten started on volume ten of Hellblazer. So far it continues Paul Jenkins' solid writing of the character and the universe in general.
After months of procrastinating, 'cause I can be that lazy, finally got some needed catch up comic reading done. Feels good.

Black Science is like watching Forbidden Planet meets Sliders (TV show - remember that one?) meets a John Carpenter cult film.
I just finished reading through Volume 1 & 2 of this comic called Fly from 2011. It's about a drug called "Fly" (naturally) that well, gives you the ability to fly & have other super human type strengths but the entire thing is treated more like an addiction to drugs than anything else. Yea they may have super hero type powers but not a single person in the comic is any sort of hero at all. At the end of the first issue there was this write up from the creator talking about how before he started the comic, him & his now ex-wife were meth addicts & went through some pretty bad times but he finally got himself clean & started up this comic book using a lot of his own experiences thrown into it. I personally know people who have done that stuff before so I definitely have seen some of the real ugly sides of that stuff & it comes through pretty well in the comic when people are jonesing for the Fly stuff. I need to track down Volume 3 so I can continue the story as it's definitely not done yet. Definitely not a comic for everyone that's for sure but I'm enjoying it & that's all that matters in the end is what you yourself enjoy.

The 15 Most Chilling Horror Comics Today
http://www.cbr.com/the-15-most-chilling-horror-comics-today/?utm_source=CBR-TW&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=CBR-TW&view=list
The only ones on that list I can vouch for is Afterlife With Archie & Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. I quite enjoy how Afterlife turned out. It is NOT you're average Archie nor are they drawn to look like how they are normally presented in comics. It's done in a more real tone and people definitely do die. Cthulhu gets involved in the story too as Sabrina becomes his bride, it's a very interesting take and never expected Archie comics to take that route.
Cuurently I'm reading through Friday the 13th comics. They are awesome as f**k! The kills are nuts haha
Just discovered that independent comic publisher Eibon Press will be making comics based on Lucio Fulci movies (http://zombieresearchsociety.com/archives/28873), starting with Zombie. I may have to start buying into this, especially if they do one for The Beyond down the road.

I have an issue of City of the Living Dead that I won on a horror site many years ago. It was awesome! I'd certainly love a The Beyond comic.

Best 'comic book' I ever read was a manga called Berserk [1997-Present]. Dark beyond belief and filled with great characters, stories and an incredible medieval/demonic world brought to life through the author/artists beautiful art style.
Oh and the Akira graphic novel comes could rival Berserk, equally a masterwork.
Really want to get this.

I got the first two issues of the new adaptation of Fulci's Zombie in the mail today. I haven't read them yet, but the overall presentation is pretty damn awesome, with some cool goodies included in the sleeves. There's also a bit of a hint towards a future Fulci adaptation. 8)

I might have to look into that, I loved Moebius' work on The Incal.
Reread The Incal and Before the Incal. The former is a trippy, wtf did I just read (in a good way) experience. The latter is a nearly perfect prequel, building onto the universe and deepening the main character... then it kind of shits the bed in the last chapter by struggling too much to tie it in to the events of its predecessor. I got Final Incal for Christmas, so we'll see how this goes...
Never been that much of a fan of marvel comics, but I grew to like Death's Head. The humor is great!
Read Predator omnibus, Aliens vol 1..
Just ordered Aliens: Stronghold & Inhuman Condition.
Fan of Berserk ;D

Berserk and Akira are great. I would also recommended Lone Wolf & Cub, Vinland Saga, 20th Century Boys, Lady Snowblood and Devilman if you other great manga.
Marvels Mutants have been a mess for a while. (Years actually) The few number ones that came out were a step in the right direction but it's got a ways to go. Kinda has the vibe of the 90's with certain title's coming back.
Long time reader of Everything X-Men.
ive just read my favourite thing is monsters which is awesome, well worth checking out and also started the tomie omnibus. I've got high hopes for that as everything I've read by Junji Ito is amazing, the most weird, creepy messed up stuff ever. Sorry if these have been mentioned, I'm new and haven't been through the 400 plus pages of this thread!
I go through cycles with comics. I'll go and pick up comics every week and read through them for a few months and then I start to drop off. I'll have two weeks of comics to get caught up on and then I just stop reading.
Growing up, I was a huge Marvel fan. I still pick up Marvel comics, but not as frequently as I used to. The constant stop and start over multiple events that crossover into multiple books. It gets to be too much to keep track of. Or I get into a series and they cancel it.
Lucio Fulci's Zombie - #4
Pretty epic wrap up of the movie's plot, with plenty of carnage and blooshed. I do think they rushed some of the film's climax to get to the apocalypse stuff, and they kind of pulled an AVP Requiem in the New York rampage. I do wish that the promotions and peripheral items in the sleeve didn't spoil one of the major twists...
Spoiler
Like Menard becoming a zombie and presumably the new big bad.
Spoiler
Also, not sure how I feel about Fulci now being a character in the series. it could be awesome, but could also be pretty silly.
Got a little bored of Spawn at issue 100. Taking a break to try Hellboy. I'm reading it chronologically, so will be jumping between it, BPRD, Ape Sapien and whatever spinoffs or extras exist.
Liking it so far, but not a huge fan of the art style. It's been hard to tell exactly what's happening at times, especially in action scenes.
I ordered the three paperbacks of the old DC/Dark Horse crossovers. Looking forward to rereading Batman vs Predator. 8)
Just finished issues #1-12 of Marvel's new Darth Vader comics.
Among the best SW comics I've read.
Been trying to catch with Ajin. One of my favorite current manga.

It would be if they doubled the frame rate. It's at, what, 12 frames a second? But that seems to be the standard, for whatever reason. How is the manga, compared to the show?
Currently reading Dark Horse's (old) sequel to The Thing.
Enjoying it - a bit crazy over the top at times but good fun nonetheless.
I used to read The Peanuts, Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Star Wars, and Dragon Ball comics when I was a kid.
I started to read Aliens and Witchblade later on.
I haven't read any comics in seven years, although I still keep my comics.
I'm about halfway through Volume 3 of The Flash Rebirth. I'm quite enjoying it so far. Only really given it a go because of how much I enjoy the TV show. The artwork was been pretty constantly great.
Also found out they just started a Lost Fleet comic so getting that on order!
I reread Batman vs Predator for the first time in years, and it was pretty great. It captured a lot of what was great about both worlds. I'll move on to the sequels soon enough. I read II years ago, and remember it being just okay, and never read the third.

Is that in the DC/DH crossover collection published recently? I can't remember. I remember really hating these kind of crossovers but it's been many years since I read one and I always see good responses to the vs. Batman stuff.

Batman v Predator was brilliant. One of the very best crossovers actually IMO.

All three Batman vs Predator stories are in one trade, the Superman solo crossovers are in another, and a third collects Batman/Aliens 1 and 2, and the big ultimate Superman/Batman/Aliens/Predator crossover.
Also, read through BvP 2 and 3. 2 wasn't as good as the first, but still pretty fun, and Batman fights an assassin who used to be a pro wrestler called Devil Man, which was hilarious. 3 was very middle of the road and not all that great.
Oh, and I started on Superman vs Aliens. It's pretty good so far, even if Supes trying to talk down a xenomorph is unintentionally funny.
I've kinda lost interest in Big Two superhero comics of late, since they've committed the one-two cardinal sin of forcing you to have an encyclopedic knowledge of every single book for the past 20 years to have any idea what's going on... And yet having exactly none of it matter in the end. It's the worst of both worlds.
I still love anything Grant Morrison - Doom Patrol is THE BEST - and the less 'comics-r-siris-bsnis-yall' things being put out currently (Devil Dinosaur and Moon-Girl, that sort of thing) are fun. I also love creator-owned stuff of all sorts - I'm getting into Morning Glories ATM, and it's pretty good so far.
Also Warren Ellis' reboot of the old Wildstorm characters has been interesting thus far.
Finished reading the three DC/Dark Horse trades I was reading... the Alien/Predator stuff, at least. I already covered the Batman vs Predator stuff in my previous posts, so here are my thoughts on the rest of them.
Superman vs Aliens was solid fun. The story line is fairly interesting, and the aliens themselves are handled quite well. It also features Superman's hilarious 90s mullet, which is always a plus. I didn't care for Superman trying to talk to the aliens and refusing to kill them for so long. It makes him come off as more dumb than noble.
Superman vs Aliens II: God War is also very good. New Genesis and the New Gods make for a refreshing change of setting, and the aliens feel like a proper threat under these circumstances. It all kind of peters out with a flat, unsatisfying ending, though, with Darkseid playing defeat off like some kind of vague victory, most of the aliens are squashed to death with a big rock, and a number of plot threads are left hanging.
Batman/Aliens doesn't have the most interesting plot, but it hangs together well enough and packs enough entertainment value for two issues. It also has some fantastic Bernie Wrightson art backing it up. The climax isn't great, as the best thing the writer could come up with apparently was an alien that incubated inside a crocodile as the big boss monster... which is like fifty feet long for some reason.
Batman/Aliens II starts well enough, even with the shaky reasoning for the alien to show up in Gotham. It then turns into complete farce in the third issue, what with the genetic hybrids between aliens and Batman villains. Apparently Two-Face is scarred on the genetic level, guys. :laugh:
Batman and Superman vs Aliens and Predator... this one is okay, with a reasonably well written story and amazing art. The problem is that the Aliens and Predators could have been replaced with just about anything and it would have played out roughly the same.
I remember reading the Superman vs. Terminator comic back in the 90's when I was a kid and I remember it was alright. I also like the crossover that DH and DC did with Batman and Hellboy.

I might spring for those as well, when the time comes. I haven't read any Hellboy.
I tried to recharge that interest from long ago. While on a business trip I stopped at a convenient store and noticed Infinity Gauntlet which had just came out. What the heck, I got it to have something to read at the hotel. It was a nice trip down memory lane, so I went out and bought about a thousand dollars worth of comics over a spread of a few months. Read about a dozen of them, quickly lost interest and that stack has been in storage for over 20 years now. I enjoy the comic books' cinema universes though.
Collection complete... kind of:

Good to know I still have some time before I start spending money on Hellboy. And I can complete the collection in less than a year, unlike say, Hellblazer. :laugh:
Anyone else read the first issue of Doomsday Clock?

I ordered and read the first 4 collections that were written by Garth Ennis.
They were really great, I enjoyed the character of Barracuda.
I heard the quality drops after that.
I finished off
The Flash by Geoff Johns Book Two, and have started
Book Three. Aside from the weak, overlong story that opened Book One and some subpar guest or fill in artists, it's been a great run so far. Sorry Barry, but Wally is the GOAT Flash, IMO. And hey, Cyborg isn't boring, annoying, or shilled as the most important character ever. :laugh:

I've not read the stuff in between them, but the Jason Aaron run is great in its own way.
Picked up my copy of the Predator Hunters trade and also preordered Alien Dead Orbit, Dust to Dust and the Collected Life and Death from my local ... sure I pay more than I would say on somewhere like Bookdepository online but if you don't support your local business then they won't be around for you to wander into and enjoy.
I read the Superman: Last Son of Krypton trade, which contained the stories "Last Son" and "Brainiac", both by Geoff Johns. I thought the stories were... fine. Last Son was the better of the two, but the mechanics of the Phantom Zone were somehow both too vague and too detailed at the same. It also pulled a few punches, e.g. we're told Chris was abused by Zod and Ursa, but we see little of this, and the idea of the Krypton science council lobotomizing Non was danced around so much it was ridiculous. "Brainiac" had an interesting take on the title villain, but everything around it was a little bland, particularly every other character loudly exclaiming their wants and motivations. None of this was helped by the just plain cringey attempts to make make Clark and Lois look exactly like Reeve and Kidder for no discernible reason.

Thanks mate. Gotta support your local!
I'm the same. I've got standing orders with my local and visit once or twice a month. Only time I ever use online is if it's just for something they can't get in easily.
I'm taking a break from Lucifer (great comic, but a little goes a long way), and reading Fury: Peacemaker by Garth Ennis. It's a solid WWII comic, with some interesting twists and turns. Fury isn't quite the cigar chomping whore monger he is in the other Ennis penned stuff yet, but it's fun to see him when he was just starting out.
Been getting back into good ol Batman of late. I've got so many trades in my collection that I still haven't read!
At one point at took this list as a reference point and read about 36 of the 50 here:
https://forbiddenplanet.com/log/50-best-best-graphic-novels/
Now I read mostly Alien and Predator comics when I have the time.
Anyone read any new good sci fi/space horror comics lately?
I read the first volume of something called Prophet at the weekend. Was recommended by the local comic store owner after I asked him about some original sci-fi. Was certainly interesting!
Not necessarily new but try Black Science.
I need to get back into them as I got up to volume 4 but they've done a few more since. Remender and Scalera are brilliant on this.
I recently read The Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Jean Giraud. It's pretty deep sci-fi but not so much horror. Great colorful artwork and very imaginative.
I'm looking at buying have bought the Hellboy Omnibus volumes.

From what I've seen, I'm not completely sure.
I've started reading the Hellboy Omnibus. Seed of Destruction was good and all, but felt kind of rushed, and dear god, Rasputin's monologues went on forever. The stories after John Byrne is no longer on script duty have all been much better, though.
I drop in and out of the hobby as time goes by. I think I'm going to focus on collecting singles of Alien/Predator/Terminator books. I might do Robocop too. I have over 1000 Marvel and DC books. I really think Dark Horse is amazing though. I might have to pick up the 2004 Conan series too. It was great.
I know the post was from 2017, but I really liked some of the crossovers. I think Batman vs Predator is an upper tier story regardless of the crossover aspect. Robocop vs Terminator is excellent too. Superman/Aliens I was a good take on how the Aliens could be a threat to Superman. I also thought him talking to the alien made sense considering he didn't have any prior knowledge and still had some power.
Superman/Aliens II started out great, but quickly went to trash. Batman/Aliens was a pretty good story except the finale seemed ludicrous. Batman/Aliens II had a good first issue, then crapped out and displayed the worst of creators playing with Alien and human DNA hybridization in their stories. They made Kenner execs look like Eintsteins.
Superman/Predator/Aliens/Batman or whatever was meh.
The worst crossover I believe has to be Aliens vs Predator vs Terminator.
I'm not totally against the idea, but the execution was utter trash. Kudos for a Terminator wrecking a predator though. That was a cool panel.
I've been reading Dan Abnett's run on Aquaman. He actually made the sentence "We surrender" feel incredibly badass. Captain Picard only wishes he could do that.

Happy New Year 2019.
No disrespect to any of the fine artists who have drawn Aquaman in the past, but Stjepan Sejic is far and away my favorite now:
(https://i.imgur.com/WfjuY45.jpg)
It's a shame he only did interiors for six issues, but his covers are fantastic as well:

And importantly, he also gave Mera back her sleeves after Paul Pelletier dropped them:

Currently catching up on my Hellboy BPRD 1954 ... I've got 1955 after that. Might also need to get back into the BPRD series ... kinda got sidetracked around the Black Flame era.
Been on a major, major Venom kick the last few weeks. Read the Daniel Way (puke) run, Remender and Bunn's Flash Thompson run, Venom Space Knight, the Venomverse/Poison X/Venomized crossovers, Mike Costa's surpaiongly good run, and all of Donny Cates run so far. It's been an exciting last year or so symbiote fans!
I've started reading Hickman's Fantastic Four.

Just read Scott Snyder's The Wake. Survival horror, creation myths, and fish monsters? Don't mind if I do. And Sean Murphy's art was gorgeous as always.
Currently reading The Punisher: Back to the War Omnibus, which collects all of the character's early appearances before getting his own book. It's rather funny just how chill Spider-Man is with Punisher sniping a bad guy in one scene, when in more recent stuff all the other heroes start pearl clutching about their no kill rules whenever Frank shows up. Here, Peter pretty much goes "Bad guy died? f**k it." :laugh:
Aka, how Superheroes realistically should act. Batman punches hundreds of goons in the head over the course of fifty years and you honestly expect me to believe he didn't kill one?

I have not, but now I might.
Humble Bundle is currently selling the complete collection of IDW's Godzilla comics.
Whilst personally preferring the tactile quality of a beautifully printed and bound trade I'm genuinely curious who on here collects (buys) digital comics?
I'm considering it, (Going Digital) but I'm trying to discover if a distributor exists without DRM. But I've gotten no answers so far. Preferably something downloadable outside of a application, PDF format etcetera.
https://m.comixology.co.uk/DRM-Free-Comics/page/2794
Unfortunately,
I don't see Dark Horse listed.
The Phantasm will make her first apperance in comics.

Finally.
Been reading some stuff.
Kong on the Planet of the Apes
A fun enough crossover, and you can really tell the writer was well versed in the original ape series. The Kong stuff was a bit by the numbers, though.
The Boys - Omnibus One
Finally giving this a proper read. It's entertaining enough, but never quite hits the same sweet spot that other Ennis works like Preacher do. Maybe in the succeeding volumes it will.
BPRD: Plague of Frogs - Omnibus Vol. 2
Still working on this one, but it's good. "Get this man some pants!" :laugh:

''Transformers vs. The Terminator'' Crossover Comic Launching in 2020 (Exclusive)
DECEMBER 19, 2019 10:00AM by Graeme McMillan
(https://cdn1.thr.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/768x433/2019/12/tvt_cover_head-h_2019.jpg)
The four-part series begins this March.
It's a heavy metal mashup that fans have been dreaming about for more than three decades, and next Spring, IDW Publishing will finally make it happen as two iconic 1980s sci-fi robotic franchises collide in the comic book miniseries Transformers vs. The Terminator.
Produced in partnership with Dark Horse Comics, the four-issue series will be written by the team of David Mariotte, John Barber and Tom Waltz, with art by Alex Milne (Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye). Together, they will offer what IDW describes as an "epic crossover that revisits the concepts of alien invasion and time-traveling resistance fighters...but twists them in unexpected ways."
In a statement, Barber — who also serves as IDW's editor in chief — said, "I still remember the visceral thrill and terror of my first viewing of The Terminator, and while I've seen it a hundred times since then, it still gets my pulse running. I've worked on Transformers a lot over the years, and the opportunity to combine these two mechanistic universes together to see who comes out on top (while working alongside Tom, David and my old collaborator Alex, no less) — well, it's way too exciting a chance to pass up."
The first issue will be released in multiple editions, with covers by Gavin Fullerton and Milne, as well as two retailer incentive limited-edition covers by Freddie E. Williams II (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Francesco Francavilla (Star Wars Adventures, Afterlife with Archie), respectively. (Fullerton and Williams' covers can be seen below.)

Recently have read
Batman: White Knight.
I liked it a lot. It has fan-ficcy feel to it
Spoiler
because Joker and Harley turns into good guys, they have healthy relationship (and sex), there're two Harleys, Mr. Freeze is cured, 66', 89', BTAS', TDK' Batmobiles are all there, Joker has to work with Batman, Batman reveals his identity to Gordon etc.
but it was engaging read and has some touching moments near the end.
Just finished Predator: Big Game #1.
Has anyone known about this ?

I reread Silver Surfer Black this morning. This is easily one of my favorite recent comic books. It stands on its own incredibly well, despite having some pretty direct ties to Cates' runs on Guardians of the Galaxy, Venom, and Thor. The story is one of the most heartfelt that I've seen come out of Marvel in recent years, and Tradd Moore's art is insane.

the pencils are clearly wild, the colors only add to it. i haven't read a comic outside of aliens and predators stuff in a couple years, but i think i may give silver surfer black a shot
It is a nice quick read, only five issues, and while it technically spins out of a recent Guardians of the Galaxy comic and kind of feeds into the current Thor one, it does stand entirely on its own two feet. I highly recommend it!

I'm not sayiing it doesn't look good without colors but colors to me is what makes that artwork unique and distingushable
Kevin Smith's Green Hornet. Fun stuff.
I finished the adaptation of Smith's Green Hornet script. I don't know how long the script was, but Dynamite devoted ten issues to it. Kind of wish Dark Horse allowed that much for Gibson's Alien 3.
I've been wanting to read Silver Surfer: Parable by Stan Lee and Moebius for a while, and the copy I pre-ordered ages ago took me by surprise and arrived today.
Just finished it up and that was a phenomenal read. The Surfer is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in comic books, I think.
Last few comics I've read...
Green Hornet Omnibus Vols 1-2 - overall some very cool stories here, and a fun modernization of the characters.
Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka Vol. 3 - Mainly just got this to finish out the collection of the old mid-2000s Rucka run. It's not bad, but ends kinds of abruptly because of behind the scenes drama.
Green Hornet: Year One Omnibus - Now this one is awesome, restoring the character to his original 1930s setting. It reads like legit period pulp, complete with a disfigured gangster villain.
The Flash by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar - Plenty of the kooky stuff Morrison is known for, only not going too far like he did in some later stuff. And it's very early Millar, so you're not in danger of cutting yourself on his edge here.
The Punisher: Soviet - Garth Ennis is back writing MAX Punisher, which is never a bad thing. A harrowing, soul crushing read in all the best ways.
The Bionic Man Omnibus - Not finished the whole book yet, but the ten issues adapting Kevin Smith's Six Million Dollar Man script are good fun, even if some of the more Smith-y bits of humor are kind of eh. :laugh:
Ordered Tom King's The Vision and will likely be ordering House of M as well as prep for WandaVision. I am super excited about that one. 8)
I was planning on getting some DC/Marvel comics this month, but I ended up getting this instead.

Summary from the Google:
"The story doesn't get any bigger than the three-part Batman: Last Knight on Earth, a post-apocalyptic road trip billed as "the last Batman story." It's set on a ravaged Earth where most heroes have died — except for the Dark Knight, who has found a way to cheat death (because Batman always wins)."Oh you, Goddamn Batman :D

I've had those two in my collection for almost 20 years now and despite numerous readings I too agree with you @Kradan - confusing but damn that artwork is indeed beautiful.
Currently reading here's Negan
Batman: Three JokersArtwork and the way panels are laid out just screams "I want to be a new Killing Joke!" I don't think this one quite earns that status
Spoiler
Why do we need to come back to Barbara being shot and Jason being beaten with crowbar ? I get these are huge part of Batman mythos but, for Christ's sake, it was what 30, 40 years ago ? Can't you come up with anything new and shocking without refferencing these stories ?
I dig interactions between Three Jokers. Wish the fact there's 3 of them would've been explained better. It's Joker and he supposed to be mysterious blah blah blah but come on! At least something ? And character don't seem to be too bothered: "So there's 3 Jokers now? Ok"
Beginning of issue 2 was positively heart-breaking. Also, it seems "The Comedian" realises how terrified of him his family would be if everything happens inside his head
I liked the sequence between Joe Chill and Batman near the end. It was heart-warming even if somewhat too sweety. And the fact "The Comedian" was involved in that made it even more interesting
Not sure about the final twist though. It gives Killing Joke a whole new perspective. Was it supposed to be Bruce who paid for "The Comedian"'s wife movement to Alaska ? Does it make him responsible for creating the Joker ?

Batman 89 and Superman 78 Comics Announced (https://www.gamesradar.com/batman-89-superman-78-movie-comics-michael-keaton-christopher-reeeve/)
You have my attention
Catwoman: When In Rome
This had less confusing more straight-forward narrative than previous Loeb's and Sale's collaborations which is much appreciated. And, goddamn, that artwork is beatiful - Sale really perfected his style since Long Halloween
Superman For All Seasons
Yet another Loeb/Sale collaboration from the late 90s right after the success of Long Halloween. It's pretty interesting to compare how Sale depicts Batman and Gotham opposed to Superman, Smalville and Metropolis - later is much brighter, there's almost no deep shadows and artwork as a whole has a more optimistic cheerful feel to it. Which is complemented by Bjarne Hansen beatiful watercolour-like colours. I especially enjoyed how Sale draws Superman - he looks puffy, almost child-like which I guess fits his a bit naive personality

Kradan your avatar's broken.
Idk, I can see it just fine
Yeah, because you have it cached, it's broken for everyone else.
Ok, I'll try to do something about it if it bothers you
How about now ?
It doesn't bother me, I'm just letting you know.
And it's still broken.
Using an image from a Wiki never works.
Well, I don't wanna be rude but your "letting me know" gets a bit ... persistent

Looks like Todd McFarlane wants Spawn to have a huge comeback. I respect McFarlane for going through with this.

The good parts are really, really good. But some of it falls into the usual Morrison problem of being really weird for the sake of it.
Look what I dug up. 8) Love how wild this comic is! Just need the #1 Incentive Cover for the complete set. Outstanding artwork!

Well it's obvious now why Rise of an Empire was such a mess, because this was too. :laugh: Seriously, the f**k was with the third issue being a bizarre retelling of the Book of Esther? :laugh:
Quote from: EWThe three-issue Image Comics miniseries, written by Clarke (along with writer Marguerite Bennett, who she calls her "comic guru"), follows a single mom named Maya who discovers she possesses freakish superpowers, and uses them to take on a secret cabal of human traffickers.
Clarke describes the comic as a Deadpool-esque blend of "a lot of silliness" and tongue-in-cheek humor, combined with a very current feminist sensibility "explored in an extreme genre-bending atmosphere."

Just read issue 1 of James Stokoe's new series Orphan and the Five Beasts and Stokoe's work continues to impress! Kind of an anime/Kung fu flick vibe with all the crazy artistic detail you'd expect from Stokoe.

Haven't read it but it's supposed to be quite brutal. People going ultra-violent in all kinds of ways.
Would make for some crazy tv series.
Not so much what I'm reading but rather we're doing some major renovations to our house which means I have had to pack up the study where I keep my rather large graphic novel collection. 6 large boxes later they're all packed to go into storage until early next year when all the renos are done.
Realised how many books I actually own that I haven't gotten round to reading.

How long before he comes back? A year?
He just died last year in one of Marvel's "The End" one-shots. :D
Personally, I'd be all over killing off Strange and then keeping him that way for a while and telling some stories with him in some variation of the afterlife.
To be fair, The Ends are normally meant to be alternate future silliness anyways. Like The Punisher one where he dooms the human race to extinction. :laugh:
So I finally got around to reading Daredevil: Born Again. Overall excellent stuff, even if it weirdly turns into a Captain America story halfway through the last issue. And I was beyond shocked when a character just like the eloquent thugs from Sin City kept showing up. :laugh:
Anyone every read The 'Nam?
Thinking about buying it due to lack of Vietnam movies and series.
No, but I know the Punisher did a crossover. :laugh:
There is an RPG ~
War for Rayuba ~ whose lore is based on a web comic called
Kill Six Billion Demons. To play it people have to draw their battles against canonical characters (artistic skills are required, I guess) and then a jury votes for the best ones, which become canon or something.

Can't wait to get my hands on this thing.
So today is Free Comic Book Day! I went out on a train and attempted to pick up the only one I was interested in...
... and utterly failed!
Worlds Apart had run out entirely by the time I arrived. Forbidden Planet, I got lucky, though, or so I thought. They were being fair and giving away the free issues in random gift bags. Two bags left :o
Turns out my bag contained a load of kids comics like League of Super Pets. Yay? :'(

QuoteWritten and drawn by Moore, DOCTOR STRANGE: FALL SUNRISE #1 will kick off a four-issue miniseries starring the Good Doctor. The debut issue will send Strange to a strange new world, where he'll have to fight just to survive even as he unearths its mystical secrets.
In this series, Doctor Strange awakens alone in a distant world not his own. Lost of purpose and surrounded by danger, the wandering sorcerer must explore this land of blades and mystery to unravel arcane secrets and escape the deadly horrors that lie in wait! From the fantastical mind of creator Tradd Moore comes a Strange story like you've never seen!

So my most favourite recent Sci-fi opera on TV, The Expanse is getting the graphic novel treatment with a kickstarter.
I think they've well and truly met their funding goal.

Note: It seems a few backers have rightly shared previous experiences (issues) with Boom's kickstarter campaigns + those shipping costs are eye watering to say the least.

I used to be someone who thought of Superman as cliche or lame. But over the years I've really started developing an appreciation and interest in him, especially the more thematic elements of hope and goodness. So I'm starting to track down and read some of his series.
Yesterday I found a paperback for All-Star Superman and a hardback for Kingdom Come at my local Half Price Books. I hear these are some of his best, so I'm looking forward to checking them out!

My small-town local library had Batman vs Predator though, and I read that many times as a kid lol

Excellent choices. I've started a Superman re-read myself. Starting with
Superman: The Man of Steel HC Volume One by John Byrne.You should definitely seek out
Superman by Grant Morrison and
Superman by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleeson. Also
Superman Birthright by Mark Waid!
Kingdom Come is excellent. I kinda want to see Brandon Routh in a live action adaptation.
Reading Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years Vol. 2.
Anyone else have these?

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll keep my eye out for those next, when im out shopping for comics.
I have to say that I also really enjoyed the newest Superman #1 that DC launched for Dawn of DC. Glad there's a fresh jumping on point and I think I may add it to my pull-list for a while!
Just read the five issues released so four of Ryan North's Fantastic Four run. Great stuff.

Currently reading through all of the Annihilation related stuff on Marvel Unlimited. Some seriously cool shit in here. 8)
https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/1660731807883579394
Moving on to Annihilation: Conquest.
Wait, wait, wait... Mantis is a mentat? :o
Annihilation Conquest: Wraith is the most 90s shit ever and it's from 2007. :laugh:
Conquest ended up being a really good sequel to Annihilation. Moving on to Guardians of the Galaxy now.
I'm also getting back to my read through of the old Punisher ongoings. It will never not make me chuckle that Frank can show up in full costume and still nobody will know who he is. :laugh:
Guardians is really good, but way too much of it's fairly short run is being taken up by War of Kings tie ins. But it's still at least possible to follow, unlike a certain DC series with a similar problem...
Finally, after many years, I finished my read through of the three Punisher ongoings from the 80s/early 90s. Overall three pretty good series, and Countdown, the final story, worked alright as an ending for the character. But you can really tell that they had to cobble together a finale when Marvel cancelled the books. And it's made even more hilarious by the last issue ending with an ad for a new miniseries starring The Punisher. :laugh:
Alright, so catching up on my comics reading via Marvel Unlimited (and other sources for stuff they still haven't added).
Guardians of the Galaxy (2008) and Thanos Imperative were great fun, but I was left wanting more in a lot of ways. Still a very worthwhile read.
In my Punisher readings, the Double Edge event + Ostrander's Punisher run ended up being incredibly mid tier and disappointing. Double Edge was built on dumb, and while Ostrander had some interesting ideas for the Punisher, they never really worked and got flushed after ten issues, when it turned into a f**king Onslaught tie-in and then a five issue X-Men adjacent arc. It all ends on a cliffhanger with an amnesiac Frank Castle, a plot point that drifts in and out of different guest appearances and ultimately amounts to nothing.
I've also read the infamous two miniseries with Angel Punisher. Christopher Golden is a good writer, and they're not horribly written, but they're awful as Punisher stories, not helped by the wholesale retconning of the character's lore to prop up the new status quo. And Angel Punisher only fights demons in the first mini, while the second is a crossover with Wolverine where he fights more f**king mutants. For the love of god, stop trying to turn Punisher into an X-Men book. :laugh:
BTW, I also read Punisher Year One, a solid origin story written by DnA, of all people.
I've also continued reading through the Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four run, which is really fun even if it's dated as hell. That three issue intro to Galactus was awesome.
Ones I have less to say about:
Inhumans by Paul Jenkins - a really, really good twelve issue series.
Straczynski's Thor run - it's really great, but sadly ends abruptly and Kieron Gillen had to the cobble a conclusion together to tie up JMS' dangling plot threads.
Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron - overall pretty awesome, but the third arc set on Earth wasn't as good as the previous two, and it basically just ended with an ad for another book, which was annoying.
And I've started Donny Cates' Venom, which so far I love.
https://twitter.com/HellraisingG/status/1670794541060767747
Donny Cates' Venom run was pretty great, so far the Daniel Way/Jason Aaron Ghost Rider book is, too.
Dracula Returns To Launch New Universal Monsters Line This October
From the minds of one of the comic book medium's most prolific writers in the horror genre comes a brand new retelling of the Dracula tale.
(https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/dracula_universal_monsters_comic_variant_cover.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&dpr=1.5)
QuoteJames Tynion IV, Skybound Entertainment, and Universal Products & Experiences are all collaborating to bring the classic Dracula tale to the comic book medium. Universal Pictures gained a reputation in its infancy for producing several classic monster movies within the horror and sci-fi genres. Among the most famous of these films was the 1931 iteration of Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi in the title role. Now, Universal is bringing this old-school version of Dracula to the comic book medium.
Skybound Entertainment and Universal Products & Entertainment are partnering up to bring audiences Universal Monsters: Dracula. The series will be a four-part limited series helmed by Tynion and artist Martin Simmonds. Tynion and Simmonds previously worked together on the critically acclaimed Department of Truth series. This upcoming Dracula series will be followed by more new limited series spotlighting the iconic Universal monsters from some of the top creators in comics. Each series will feature variant covers from some of the best artists working in comics today—Joshua Middleton, Francis Manapul, Julian Totino-Tedesco, and Jenny Frison. Universal Monsters: Dracula #1 is currently slated to release on October 25, just in time for Halloween. Both covers can be found below.
The first issue of Universal Monsters: Dracula will focus on Dr. John Seward, who fans may recall from the original 1931 movie. The comic is also set to feature other familiar characters like Mina Seward, R.M. Renfield, Doctor John Seward, Van Helsing, and others. As for Dr. Seward, he admits a seemingly delusional new patient into his asylum. The patient in question recounts chilling tales of a demonic entity residing next door, all while the skeptical doctor tries to rationalize the unexplainable. Meanwhile, his adopted daughter, Lucy, mysteriously succumbs to the hypnotic influence of the charismatic Count Dracula.
"It's been an absolute thrill to watch the powerhouse duo behind The Department of Truth breathe new life into this legendary story," says Skybound Entertainment Editorial Director Alex Antone. "Perfect for both new fans and horror aficionados alike – the Universal Monsters are as timeless as ever!"
What's old is new again as this marks the latest update for the Dracula character. Beyond introducing the classic characters, it's clear that this series will be taking a massive inspiration for Dracula's appearance from Bela Lugosi as he appears in his portrayal of the character. It's an iconic portrayal in the realms of pop culture, but one that horror aficionado Tynion is unsurprisingly anxious to tackle. Tynion had this to say:
"A few times in my life I've had the pleasure of writing about one of the great pop culture icons, but there is something singular about Dracula that made this opportunity too good to pass up. The challenge in front of Martin and I is to take the bloody heart of the Universal Pictures classic and find a bold new way to bring the character to life. It's been one of the most exciting creative challenges of my life, and I am phenomenally excited for you to see the horrors we have in store for you."
Meanwhile, Tynion's frequent collaborator Simmonds shares the same sentiment:
"Dracula has always been a horror favorite of mine, so to get the chance to work on an exciting new interpretation of this character alongside my Department of Truth Co-creator, James Tynion IV, was one I couldn't pass up. I'm so excited for readers to experience our version of Universal's classic monster--and I hope you enjoy the direction we take the story."
On top of being two of the most creative minds in the horror comic genre, the two Department of Truth co-creators are clearly passionate about classic staples of horror like the 1931 edition of Dracula. Any Dracula fans can rest assured that the story is in good hands of two people who love the material and are ready to put a modern twist on it.
Universal Monsters: Dracula #1 will be available on October 25.

I've been reading too much via Marvel Unlimited to really log here, but a lot of it has been good. The Way/Aaron Ghost Rider, Rucka's Punisher, etc. I've also been reading through, er, other means, Frank Miller's Elektra: Assassin and it's... something. And much to my shock the main SHIELD Agent ended up as Bill Paxton's character on Agents of SHIELD. :laugh:
Read Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise, written and drawn by Tradd Moore (who also did the art for the phenomenal Silver Surfer Black that I've been obsessed with for a few years now). I absolutely loved this. Esoteric, in the way the best Doctor Strange stories are/should be, with Moore's trademark style taking the reader through this melancholic odyssey exploring idea and the material world.
Moore's one of the most interesting talents working in comics right now. If he keeps doing work like this and SSB, I'll be there ready to read everything he does.
I bet I end up reading this one again before the week is up.

QuoteIn the early 90s, Steve Rogers transformed into CAPWOLF in writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Rik Levins' unforgettable "Man and Wolf" story arc. Now over 30 years later, CAPWOLF is back in his own limited series, CAPWOLF & THE HOWLING COMMMANDOS!
Written by Stephanie Phillips and drawn by Carlos Magno, this four-issue limited series will tell an all-new story where Steve becomes a terrifying werewolf during an early World War II mission. Luckily, his fiercest allies are by his side--Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos! After years of combat, this elite squad of soldiers thought they've seen it all but this might be their wildest adventure yet as the series captures the spirit of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's classic wartime storytelling with a modern mystical twist!
When Captain America is transformed into a werewolf on the front lines of World War II, he'll need the help of the Howling Commandos to take down a band of Nazi cultists who intend to use supernatural forces to turn the tide of battle. But can Cap control the skeptical, jaded Commandos when he can barely control himself?
"This is the kind of story I was dying to tell at Marvel, blending my love of historical fiction with the incredible history of the characters in the Marvel Universe," Phillips told AiPT. "CapWolf and the Howling Commandos may be a war story, but it also has horror, romance, and a few new characters that we introduce along the way. And just wait until you see Carlos Magno's incredible artwork on this series..."
Check out an assortment of covers, including a Hidden Gem wraparound piece using Jack Kirby art of the original Howling Commandos and the issue two cover! And be there when the Marvel Universe hears Capwolf's howl once again this October!

Working through the Mignola-verse comics I've picked up, and I'm not finding Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible to be all that interesting. So far it's not bad per se, just underwhelming, and it's not helped by the issues all being ridiculously long (70+ pages at times). Maybe letting your editor write his own book wasn't such a great idea, Mike.
I never got into the whole concept of comic books nor did I ever get into the whole superhero thing. I collect Predator/AvP comic books, read them once and that's it. They're only for collecting.
I think for me, as I got older, I realized I didn't need some superhero being in my life to look up or want to be, because I had my Dad. I realized as an adult, that as kid, my Dad has always been my superhero. So that's why I never got into comic books or their characters.
Now I do like watching the movies for plots etc, but not too big into characters. For liking characters it ended up being realistic characters - Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne.
They're rich and smart. That's there superpower.
Three issues in now and I am very much enjoying the current Blade ongoing. It's been a while since I read a comic month-to-month like this.
So I given the Marvel Alien run a proper deep dive. I've about half way through Icarus having read Bloodlines, Revival and Aftermath.
Thoughts:
- The stories themselves aren't bad if I'm being completely honest.
- The artwork and tone is all wrong.
- My biggest issues aside from Larocca's woeful and lazy Xeno art (which is well documented) is the colouring is so wrong. It's all Marvel lolly pop, bright and colourful. Alien's colour palette should be muted, flat, dirty and dark. The keyline work improved in Icarus and Aftermath given Larocca's absence mind. Colouring is still way too bright and rich.
Being honest, Dark Horse had it's share of hit and miss artwork tone too. However most of the time they got it spot on.
I'll persist though as I'm now invested in where these stories are going.
