Every day that Marvel don't announce that they are going to try Wimberly's Blade pitch is a bad day.

Just look at how hype this is



Marvel. Give us this Blade. Please.

I would definitely be interested in the 12 issues this thing gets before its cancelled

I'd be fine with a tight 12 issues.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

His Cloak and Dagger logo is insane (but Dagger's face kills me)

What happen to her face?

 

[Messi]

What happen to her face?

Wimberly

 

[Rrongfield]

What happen to her face?

Who knows what's inside the Cloak.
Wimberly's faces are wacky as hell.

Trees #1 - I thought the series was about trees taking over the earth The Happening style, but that was not the case. Ellis does some good immediate world building but I don't think he bridged the gap between

Spoiler

Pillar aliens dropping to all out police state.

well. For a first issue that is supposed to grab you, that was not a very good way to end an issue either it just sort of withered out. I'm not sure if i'll get the first trade or not based off this issue. Random 7/10.

 

[KoruptData]

Why?

Well so far, every character is interesting. Even the throw away characters have something to offer. Nothing in the story has been throw away or filler. So far, it's a very addicting read. Lots of mystery, lots of tension, great action. Story implements lots of real world things like bands and literature to immers you in the story. Another thing, that is not intended but just the nature of the story, lots of sexual tension.

You're becoming the IGN of reviews.

Hearing you talk about it, i wonder if i should re-read it. Having characters wanting the male to be monogamous just made my blood boil.

I like IGN comic reviews!

Comic Gaf - How many comics do you read per week?

Between the weekly MU releases and discounted CMX comics, by my calculations i need to read 20-25 comics a week to not fall behind on my reading.

 

[Owzers]

I try to read a comic a day. In the case of Manhattan Projects where i had the whole run accumulated, i'd read a few at a time since i really liked it, but outside of that....one issue/day.

 

[my name is ed]

That cloak and dagger logo is dope. Wimberley has style in spades.

 

[Confusion Illusion]

I'd be fine with a tight 12 issues.

I would this be a MAX series?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Oddly Normal is a decently dute book. Too bad it won't last longer than a trade.

 

[Messi]

I would this be a MAX series?

Doubt it. He doesn't even have a sword.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Is it bad that I really enjoy his X-Men stuff?

Nope. It's fantastic. Even his GOTG stuff is great as long as you don't have some strange devotion to arcane and long forgotten story lines

;D

 

[Messi]

I was going to read GOTG as I enjoyed Trial of Jean Grey and like Bendis. But the negative talk here put me off.

Brah, as of the most recent issue, things are about to get really interesting in terms of the "invasion" you were expecting. Ellis just spent some time on world and character-building first.

I dunno, that what I know of Bendis Guardians of the Earth is even worse than the worsest stuff I read on the Annihilation Omnibus recently...

How much shit have these guys given you about girly hijinx? That never stopped you.

Spoiler

But yeah, GOTG is pretty bad most of the time. I think I'm gonna drop it when Gamora's solo book gets off the ground. Green boobs are about the only reason I'm reading Guardians.

Just a strange devotion to good story lines

Oh my. I forgot about Gamora's solo book. I can't wait for it. Angelas first issue was cool too.

Was it? I passed on Angela #1, didn't want to add another $3.99 book to the pile this week.

Yo Messi, give Unsounded a read, I think you'll like it

I liked it and at the very least it was pretty to look at.

pffft, I'm surprised you're still convinced that you think stories from a few years ago are "long forgotten storylines".

Going to read the filth today

He should better ask how much we are buying.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

next thing you know we'll be playing video games lmao

 

[warpaint]

Have just started Mind MGMT been meaning to read it for a long time

 

[Zombine]

I put at least one book a week on my shelves or I just don't feel right.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Wrapping up this weeks MU with New Warriors. I think Justice has to be the blandest most generic character ever. Book is still fun though.

 

[Kipp]

The last few days have been super lame. I haven't really felt like reading comics.

Hahaha. Perfect.

But Kipp, we need to read SiP!!

 

[Creamium]

I'm in the Franken-castle portion of Remender's run and I really love Tony Moore's art... He did that Deadpool arc I read earlier as well, and his style just meshes perfectly with these kind of stories. Great artist

You read Fear Agent yet? Remender wrote that one as well, and Jerome Opena/Tony Moore trade off arcs. He also did some of Remender's Venom.

He's a great artist, but for various reasons he can't do a monthly if his life depended on it. I can't even remember the last comic book he did?

Don't you dare without me

He's the slowest of the Moore Brothers

Deadpool about two years ago.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Alias keeps getting better ans better. Finshed today the Mattie Franklin Spider-Woman Part and Jessica Jones Secret Origin (Ugh, shes masturbating to Johnny Storm, Bendis attemps to make me feel a little bit uncormfortable are great) and it seems like I am coming to the finale Purple Man Arc.

I really hope they are starting a new Volume soon, the minicomic in the Marvel 75th Anniversary Issue and the upcoming TV series should be reason enough.

 

[Kipp]

But Kipp, we need to read SiP!!

I know! That's why I've still been reading a couple issues of Preacher a day even though I haven't really wanted to read comics. Haha
I have a feeling SiP will get me back into that "I want to read comics so badly" mood. I think it's just the comic I need. Must finish Preacher first though! And we gotta wait for Messi anyways.

You read Fear Agent yet? Remender wrote that one as well, and Jerome Opena/Tony Moore trade off arcs. He also did some of Remender's Venom.

I loved the Opena/Moore trading off arcs in Fear Agent thing so much. Each time they would switch, I would think to myself "Okay, I think _____ (insert whichever artist is on the arc I had just gotten to) is my favorite of the two." And that happened every single arc. I would be bummed that whichever artist's arc was about to end, and then I'd be reminded just how great the other artist was. They were both just so good.

 

[SRG01]

So about Spider-Verse, I'm not sure if I'm missing an issue, but:

Spoiler

At the end of one issue, it shows the Inheritors jumping into the Ultimates Universe and chasing Miles. And a couple of issues later, it shows Miles along with the others with Cosmic Spidey. Did I miss an issue somewhere?

 

[cablenathan]

I cant believe that the guy who wrote Alias is the same who is currently making X-Men...

All this talk of Alias has convinced me to buy that Alias omnibus...(the fact that it is a hardcover omnibus also contributes to me wanting to buy it).

 

[Serpentine]

Deadpool about two years ago.

Living off those signature charges I take it

[Freezasaurus]

Comic Gaf - How many comics do you read per week?

Not counting trades, usually whatever I pick up that week. Usually ranges from 7-10 books or so. Occasionally I'll have a book or two I just don't want to read because I have no interest. Sometimes it's Elektra, sometimes it's Chew. But I feel too attached to these series to drop the book(s).

 

[whatsinaname]

Read the first Saga trade today, didn't really enjoy it. I don't like either of the main characters or the way everyone talks. It seems to be heading in a soap opera'ish direction and that's not for me. That art is pretty nice though. Maybe I'll give it another shot once the series is complete.
