Just caught up on Curse Words. I don't know why I waited so long, it's a really fun book so far. It's a little more grounded than God Hates Astronauts, but that only means it's way less random.

Man I'd really love a deluxe hardcover of God Hates Astronauts...

 

[caliph95]

I read one issue of God hates Astronauts and it wasn't for me. Though i love curse words

How is They're Not Like Us?

oh god I've read spoilers for the FCBD Secret Empire comic and

Where?

I thought God Hates Astronauts was brilliant, but it was very very random, so I can see how it would turn off some people. But you have to admit the art was glorious.

Always been meaning to get to that, Nowhere men was a good book so i guess the same, i only read a few pages but nothing bad from what i remember

Chew is another book with great art. Guillory is a fucking master cartoonist. Definitely on my shortlist with Caldwell and Parson.

How goes your descent into manga?

 

[BKatastrophe]

Lol u wot mate. Forreal? That is way to long for such a boring arc.

Absolutely, but it had a very interesting ending. A lot of timeline fuckery that lead to some interesting implications.

If Doom was only ever gonna be on the Avengers for a year or whatever, he should have been in the Kang arc

The mere idea of Doom on the Avengers is more exciting than every single panel of that story

If it's Bendis' fault, he sucks

He still might be. There's no reason that he stop being who he is. He just won't be Iron Man.

 

[caliph95]

I rather they keep Iron Doom and do a similar thing with Lex Luthor now

it ends on Cap raising Mjolnr, with all the heroes he's beaten at his feet. There's a picture of it. CONSIDERING THE SYMBOLISM, it's, yeah, unfortunate.

More Cube fuckery.

Or OR, by beating the heroes, he's somehow become worthy of ultimately improving the world through order? Seems like a stretch, though.

There is a long history of nazis co-opting Norse mythology, which, at this point, I'm not even sure Spencer was aware of.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Have they explained where the fuck Kobik is in all of this? She didn't show up in Steve Cap up until this point. I had assumed she was in Thunderbolts, but I didn't read that (bored as fuck). Is she in SE #0?

 

[mreddie]

Nick spencer isn't a bad guy, he's not a good guy, he's the guy.

This is Orton stealing the belt from Daniel Bryan and nothing comes from it for almost a year.

She blew up in Thunderbolts.

 

[The real Butters]

Welp. Finally took the plunge and smacked down the dollarbucks needed for the first green lantern tome of 1250 pages. Yikes.

I think I got my reading cut out for me for the next few months. And then it's over to vol 2 and 3. I'm psyched! PSYCHED I tell you! I just need to ship my wife and kids away somewhere so I can get some quality quiet time.

Because the Nazis had a obsession with the nordic mythology? And the Nordic Mythology is pretty prominent resembled in Marvel Comics?

Kobik had a tantrum that almost wiped out everything, Fixer shot at her and BOOM, Zemo goes to find the Cube Shards. Zemo also takes Bucky and straps him in a missile and it blows up.

At this point, I'm expecting them to pull some more BS out of this event.

Isn't this the same question that we've been asking for awhile now? None of this makes any sense. They pulled this, and for awhile it worked. I felt Steve's solo was genuinely good, and it was going in an extremely interesting direction. I thought Standoff was a good crossover. I've liked every bit of Sam Cap.

Then Trump got elected, and everything got too real for everyone, so then EVERYONE wanted it walked back. I didn't care because I figured that everything would get written out anyways after this event. But now everything seems so dumb that I have no idea where they're going. All I can say is that it's all Cosmic Cube fuckery, the Masters of Evil will takeover, Hydra will re-fade into obscurity, and

Spoiler

with Red Skull dead, the only real Nazi supervillain is gone

.

Maybe, MAYBE what happens is that

Spoiler

Steve defeats all of the heroes whom are possessed by some sort of evil brainwashing, making him a "hero" and therefore worthy of Mjolnir. Problem is that we know Mjolnir is also about conviction, because of what happened with Thor. We know that Steve has total and utter conviction in his ideals and beliefs. That also wouldn't be a twist introduced in a FCBD issue that's technically the second issue of this event. So what the fuck is indeed going on? That's the only question we can ask, and I don't think anyone is going to like it unless the end is some super godlike pull. I doubt that.

Kobik had a tantrum that almost wiped out everything, Fixer shot at her and BOOM, Zemo goes to find the Cube Shards. Zemo also takes Bucky and straps him in a missile and it blows up.

I like 50% of that. The other one is very much a "but y tho?" kind of moment.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I can't wait until this hydra cap stuff is over.

No hydra, let's do a fantastic four Dr who like book, and feel good about our heroes for a change
