Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

So will they ever fill us in on how the Runaway's ran from Stark?

Spoiler

Are we supposed to assume that they beat him and made a cross country escape right to his freakin headquarters?! Or maybe they were captured and Fisk managed to free them.

Either way I don't like how we, the readers, start of so confused.

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Oh my god....

Avengers Initiative is a whole lot better than Mighty Avengers. Not even close contest right now. Hell I'll take it a step further, its better then New X-men and Young Avengers bundled up at this point. Damn, not even Runaways started this kick ass. Though of course its only one chapter so it can still go badly later on.

Spoiler

I bet MVP wasn't even a superhuman, he was porbably just a really good jock with kick ass reflex who accidently got recruited since he happens to be related to the guy who invented the super solider serum.

Spoiler

I also love how everybody gets there own T-shirt that has their code symbol

Initiative kicked fucking ass, love that comic now. And I'm sorry but whoever says you can write a great story without love, death and governmental bullshit is a lying whore. Civil war sucked because cap did not die during issue 7, that is all.

Initiative was awesome, perfect everything a great comic should be. I even love the team dynamic, the initiative team is friggin awesome.

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

OMFG!

Who has read X Factor #18?!

Spoiler

Geezuz! First Blob, then Fatale AND MARROWWW MARRROOOOWWW MARROOOWW!

Okay. Seriously, she's not as cool as alot of other X-characters, but she was in the team of my very first X Men comic! I never really caught up with what happened after she left the team, and have been wondering what's up with her nowadays

GYUH!

And she's still a mutie?! Duude! Is she one of the 198? o.O I swear I didn't see her name in the list, or maybe I skipped over it.

Madrox is as cool as always, but this issue made Layla quite likeable to me. And Rictor. BUAHHAHAHA. At first, I thought he was being serious (haven't read the last few issues, so I didn't know) about the guy called Robert, living under the sea.

Then when Val ripped that paper away, I was like, "Oh good GAWD. Spongebob! "

Anywho. I read Ultimate Spidey too, and I was quite dissapointed with Ronin being a part of Moon Knight. I mean, that guy's powers still confuzzle me, and he looks as crazy as The Sentry and Wanda put together, methinks.

Heh. What if 616's MK was also the new Ronin. Bah. XD

Right now, I'm just waiting for Mighty Avengers. Booyah.

 

[Dragonzair]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Okay. So I was tempted to spoil myself so I went ahead and read the weekly Initiative updates over at WizardUniverse, and LOL.

Spoiler

That panel with The Sentry!

The Sentry: I don't understand...Tony Stark is a woman?

HAH! And Cap is still on Carol's mind. HAH! And Ultron took Janet's form! HAH! I loooooveee thisss! I have yet to read the full story, but I'm cracking up like an ass here over Bob's line. BAHAHAHA.

But I seriously can't wait for the third issue. The previews shows Maria Hill hiting her head against a machine while the Helicarrier wasf alling through the sky. BAHAHAH.

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

I was really bored and went out on a limb to read She-Hulk. My advise is don't read it but check out the spoilers anyways.

Spoiler

Not only is the art horrible and the dailogue makes me sick. But She-Hulk sleeeps with Tony Stark to get her kicks O.o

And she doesn't even depower for casual sex... >.> though maybe Stark likes it that way.

 

[Dragonzair]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

^ I knnooooowww! O___________O

I wanted to read it to find out how Jen found out about her cousin, and I seriously wasn't expecting that.

Spoiler

I really didn't think Stark still had one night stands with anyone o.O Or Jen. o.O JEEZ. It just looked...so wrong and out of place. o.O

Stark hasn't had any love interest in a while now, and seeing that was just sick. o.O Same goes for She Hulk, the woman who is supposedly still married to someone else. I know they've been having troubles with their relationship, and that She-Hulk is actually flirting with Clay Quartermain.

And now she goes and sleeps with Stark.

And a fight breaks up with them fighting in their undies. Ugh. I thought it was amusing when she slept with Juggernaut and they did the same undies bit, but this is just blah.

Okay. I've ranted too much. XD

[edit]

And she didn't change her She Hulk form with Juggernaut either. Though, I found that quite amusing. The only thing that disturbed me there was the random destruction and punches on the walls next to the bed. Though, I suppose that was meant to be funny, not creepy.

Anywho...

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

My God, you guys are just making me NOT want to read Marvel comics... lol.

And I was getting all hyped up about getting into it again too. Maybe I'll just stick to the oldies... sounds safer! Except for Ghost Rider's latest series ... so far it's kicking butt. And I've heard Moon Knight's does too.

 

[manu]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Thats not fair to write it all of... I would just make sure to read more about the male Hulk and keep away for the She. Moon Knight is certainly interesting to me, his character is a mix of Batman and Punisher. He has the mindset of the Punshier but the moral dilema of the Bat so he's interesting to say the least. Though current dirty desires comics are Antman and Cable/Deadpool because they know how to not take things too seriously.

 

[Dragonzair]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Yeah, Ken-chan! We were only complaining about She-Hulk! XD Don't bother reading Jen's book and stick with the good ones. We never said anything againsdt the others

WWH is coming soon, and even if I'm not a fan of Hulk, I'm still excited about it. Other stuff that I rec you:

Runaways: Whedon's run started off confusing, but still great. You might want to read the first two volumes before the latest ones, though.

New Avengers: Get to it! Leinil Yu's art makes it an even better read! Plus, team banter! YAH. And c'mon! ECHO! ECHO! ECHO!

Mighty Avengers: Currently only two issues, and not much explained. But hey, still quite new, and you oughtta give it a chance. Plus, who couldn't resist hilarious though balloons delivered by the sarcastic Bendis!! I love 'em! Never stops me from cracking up.

New X Men: The younger roster of the X-team is BRILLIANT. 'Nuff said.

Avengers: The Initiative : Dude. Just read the first issue and get hooked.

Irredemable (sp?) Antman: He's hilarious. Like a new Spidey and Deadpool. Certainly beats the idiotic Hank Pym.

Cable and Deadpool: Deadpool's enough reason to read it, really.

Exiles: You're lucky if you're going to start reading this, as the current arc just started a couple of months ago. Plus, Claremont's taking good care of Psylocke, too.

X Factor: Jamie's crew is definitely different from the current X-titles teams. Their group is in Mutant Town taking care of the ex-mutants after M-Day, plus gives a lot more insights about the results of HoM and Decimation, nd much more to that.

X Men First Class: About the original X MEn roster Awesome art, and covers, and fun sotrylines. Nice to see them still as teens and not having the problems the X Men are facing in the current timeline. And other stuff.

Punisher War Journal: Artwork somehow scares me, but the colouring's great. Story's fun too. KEKEKEKKE. Frank's take on Cap.

Thunderbolts: Not the original. This one's spurn out of Civil War, and consists a group of former villains, like, say: Bullseye, Venom, etc. and the poster boy of Civil War, Speedball, who is now called Penance. Of course, being lead by the baddest of 'em all, a (sor of) mentally ill Green Goblin; Norman Osbourne.

Guess what, though? They're there to fight SHRA offenders, which means they're not on the bad side. Or not. Must read. xD

 

[Gold Knight]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Thanks for the recommendations! I needed that.

I just downloaded Wolverine's first series, because I've never read it (Gasp). I also found a torrent for New Mutants v1 1-100 with Annuals. I remember you saying you never got to read New Mutants, so I recommend it: Here's the torrent. I also downloaded X Factor's entire first series there too, which I'm excited about.

Anyway, I'll download some of the new stuff too. Going to try Exiles since the arc just started as you said.

 

[Dragonzair]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

I LUUURVE YOU!

That's the one withDani, right? <3 Thanks!

 

[Gold Knight]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Yup, Dani, Magik, Sam Guthrie, and the rest of the original New Mutants when they first arrived on the scene. Though it doesn't have the very first appearance of all these guys (which is in a book similar to Giant Size X-Men), I guess I'll still have to look for that one - I don't have it either.

Anyway, I've read Exiles 89-92, X-Factor 15-16, and Cable & Deadpool 35-38.

Exiles: Definitely liked it. I like the entire idea of superheroes being picked from alternate universes in order to protect the whole omniverse. It also features some Age of Apocalypse characters (Sabretooth and Blink) which I love. I LOVED AoA. I want Sunfire from AoA on this book now! It's sort of "Sliders" meets X-Men in a way, isn't it? I'll definitely be looking into downloading older issues now and I'll continue to follow this one - I knew Claremont would take care of Psylocke though, he created her after all! xD He seems to be having fun with this book, which is good. He's a great writer, obviously (since he's probably most directly responsible for the X-Men's popularity) if you give him the right book and you're patient with all the subplots.

X-Factor: It's OK so far. Jamie Madrox is an interesting character, I guess. I did like how ish. 16 ended, showed that he did have some feeling.

Cable & Deadpool: Absolutely freaking hilarious so far. I think I loved this one the most out of all three. And to think I've never even read a single issue with Deadpool in it before, but now I'll have to check out more. He's in X-Men Legends 2, the game I'm playing, though, and he'll be a playable character after I've beaten the game once =D

 

[Lohnt]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

I don't have much to say about the other titles that wasn't already said, but I need help/clarification for anyone else that has raid Mighty Avengers 2, and the newest X-men (I know it wasn't uploaded but I checked it out today)

Mighty:

Spoiler

How could Tony be dead? This is the second most issue comic I have read this week after X-men, and I honestly have no idea what's going on. Also wtf? Does Ultron have a force shield now or something, or did he/she suddenly get telekinisis? Last time he fought was with Runaways/Loners I BELIEVE, and he didn't have that tech.

X-men:

Spoiler

Ok... WTF I have NO NO ABSOLUTELY NO idea wtf is going on.
Is Cable dead? Is he the character from Rogues team that is going to "die"? And if so wtf? They're going to ruin 2 awesome series? Wtf will happen to Deadpool? It was looking like he'd make a guest appearence on the next X-men issue since he was going to Nathan's island once he found out the alien attacked it. Will that crossover not happen now? And will the be lame and only mention it in C+D?

Ugh.. wtf is that alien anyway, the art is so confusing/blurred/isane it's hard to know what's going on. And How is "magneto coming back" in 2 issues if this arc doesn't end until AT LEAST 199... isn't 200 supposed to be a gigantic crossover?

Again Cable better not be dead, because it'll ruin 2 perfect currently ongoing series.. but w/e... I know a lot of people hate him so I'm sure I'll be the only one pissed that it'll force Deadpool to either have no series or go back to being a solo series (which was fine, but I prefer his personality in CnD)

help?

 

[manu]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Well for Mighty I'm just going to speculate.

Spoiler

Obviously Tony isn't dead. As whats been shown multiple times Tony can control all of his Iron Man costumes outside of the suit at the same time so he probably wasn't even inside of it when it transformed. Secondly the Ultron in Runaways was just one of the many versions. I was confused to how that Ultron was so easily bested from kids and I came to the conclusion that it was just a copy of Ultrons programming who managed to survive on some second rate machines. Now imagine Ultron's programing capablities (I mean Ultron did invent the Vision) combined with Tony's suit. My hope is that Tony gets kicked of the Mighty Avengers team by Ms. Marvel and is replaced by Ultron. If anyone has noticed Ultron hasn't exactly been evil yet.

As for Cable & Deadpool

Spoiler

I am loving the suspense! I guess its going to be revealed sooner or later right?

Also I would like to take this time to pray for the return of Black Adam. Never has there ever been a super-villian/superhero who has countlessly gone toe to toe with the big blue Superman. I hope that his character comes back stronger than ever.

 

[Gold Knight]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

I'm sure Black Adam will come back...

Spoiler

...but it IS a cool setback Captain Marvel imposed on him, I wonder what the word was? 52? xD

So far I think 52 has been constantly entertaining, but I do think the last issue could have been better if it had been double-size and had more material in it relating to "World War III." (I know about the "spinoff" solo books, but I think it would have been best if they had kept it all in one issue.)

 

[Lohnt]

Re: American Comics Discussion Thread!

Is black Adam stronger than Captain Marvel? I mean he took on Power Girl and various other Superheroes I've seen hand Superman his cape and yet he took them all on at once...

Did he recently get an upgrade or is he just lucky they all attacked at once instead of one at a time so they could be more organized till they tired him out.
