He needs to move on then.

The fact that he more or less tried to force Hope to be Jean proves he's incapable of fully moving on from her, like, ever. He doesn't obsess over his daughter, who actually DOES use the Phoenix. Instead he told his son to take Hope to get aged up. I think he probably paid Cable to make her older than a teenager, but Cable, thoroughly creeped out by his dad's attempt at remaking the woman from whom his mother was cloned, and hoping to spare Hope from his own mom's fate, brought her back before she was the legal age.

Which is the REAL reason Scott broke down and decided to attack the Avengers and became so interested in founding his own nation . . . with it's own legal age.
 
Picked up Death By Design and Batman: Earth One while I was in NYC this weekend. Death By Design is BEAUTIFUL. I would love to have a print of the initial spread.
 
Holy shit that Bloodshot #1. I may be LTTP, but whoa damn. That realism. I hope they can keep it up by the time I run through 2 and 3.

Valiant is back, and I am OK with this. Now give me MAgNVS.

Avengers is the new hotness now, guys. The movie made ALL THE MONIES. They have sent Bendis and Way to destroy the X-Men, while Remender and Hickman have to build the Avengers with John Cassaday, Jerome Opena, Dustin Weaver, Adam Kubert, and Mike Deodato Jr. IDK who the fuck this X-Force guy is suppose to be, but he aint those guys.

Avengers has been bigger than Xmen for some time now, long before the movie. There was a time when Xmen ruled all ...well maybe alongside spider man but there were way more x books so gotta say for...many many years Xmen verse was humbling all other books regardless of publisher, but those days are long since gone...it used to be ridiculous how much more popular anything xmen/uncanny xmen/xforce used to be. It even outlasted images barrage but , its not like that anymore not for a while.

At a conceptual level then, Tony’s New Guardians traces very much the same path as Linkin Park’s second album Re:Animation, wherein the band edit and mix and tireless experiment with the original magic of their debut album, Hybrid Theory. It’s that tirelessness that lies at the heart of the New 52, and that same tirelessness that flourishes on every page of New Guardians.

What marvel books do you guys think are essential right now? I'm looking for a couple good self contained marvel books to add to my list. Right now only Hawkeye and Iron Man are on my list. (iron man is more character loyalty than liking for quality)

I'd say:

Uncanny X-Force - would need to start at the beginning, on issue 29 or so now, also Remender might be leaving at issue 35 or so, might want to wait for the omni there too.
Daredevil by Waid - on issue 15 or so.
maybe check out Amazing Spidey, i find the quality a little mixed though
Hickman's FF/Fantastic Four - his run is almost over though, you might as well wait for the omni

Daredevil, for 100% sure.

Uncanny X-Force and Secret Avengers are kinda their own little pocket universe right now (just skip the Secret Avengers XvA crossover issues).

And Amazing Spider-Man, actually is really great at being self-contained.

It's hard because most of the books I love are being canceled or IMO horrible teams are coming on. Amazing Spider-Man is still great and thankfully Slott is going nowhere.

Luckily a few of the new NOW books sound great.

It's like fucking groundhog's day for these bums at BC. This brah at DC acts like he knows shit, sayin he got connections to DC and shit. Then say what the fourth wave books are. You don't know. Geoff Johns is not leaving Aquaman. It's always the same with these guys, after something happens they say they knew it all along but couldn't say to protect some deep throated mouth breather. Stop ruining people's lives.



Just lookin' forward to Alpha tomorrow.

I know the book has its fair share of haters, but if you are at all curious about a Kirkman cape book with fantastic art and more often than not fun adventures with a decent amount of wonder that is severely lacking in DC/Marvel cape books, give it a shot. High recommendation.

I want to see what Ottley's art looks like on an Ipad 3. I might go digital for this....

Yeah, there is a kind of weird ass vibe in the early part of AvX with that theme.

That said the last issue with
Hope beating the ever loving fucking shit out of Scott
made me very happy.
 
Thanks for the recommendations guys. Going to see if I can grab the DD trades and will probably just jump on Amazing Spider-Man on the newest issue since an arc ended recently. Other than that I'll probably be waiting for the new books as most of the ones I'd be interested in are ending. :(

...what the fuck? i dont care for the reboot(not a huge fan of watchmen either for that matter) but why choose that body shape? it seems like a fake piece.
 
I've subconsciously blocked the "before watchmen" line to the point that I forget it until someone brings it up. Probably for the better.

I feel the same way. Burned through 59 issues in a week. I have no idea how i could of handled waiting for it a new issue every month for 5 years

It would have been the best five years of your life. Scalped is the most perfectly structured serialized comic since New X-Men. I have no idea how I could have handled reading it all glued together, cliffhangers having the relative lasting power of a light sneeze.

It's not like the original is anything that good. Yep I went there and said it, Alan Moore is constantly one of the most overrated comic book authors around,


Now on to brass tacks, when does Comixology update it servers?
 
Quick question out to you guys.

Would you guys say it's better to collect The Walking Dead series via the hardcovers or via the Omnibuseseses?

Which is easier to read and looks better etc?

Go Hardcover, I hated the sizes of the Omnubus' and Compendiums by the time I was through.

Gillen's run started with 622, but a few of the singles are hard to get ahold of now. It's available in trades though - the first three volumes are in hardcover (with a paperback of the first coming in sept), but the Exiled crossover and v4+ are paperback because Marvel don't care about shelf consistency :(

It is a good self contained run if you go back and read it (which anyone who hasn't should, and the trades make it easy), but if he's looking for something to start right now in singles it might not be the best choice, because the current issues are in full crossover mode with Mighty Thor for Everything Burns... and are, you know, kind of the books end-game as Gillen will be off of the book (and focus will be changing to Sif) after Everything Burns and JiM645.

I don't know man. There's a reason so many people see it as the best thing the medium ever produced.

I didn't find it all that amazing when I read it. I just feel the story concept would have occurred anyway along with the almost post modern take on Super Heroes (Garth Ennis would have still developed his work in the same way even without The Watchmen). I'm not saying it's bad just that it's not all its cracked up to be.

The worst (and this isn't Moores fault in anyway just like it isn't Frank Miller's) is how it led to the whole oh I'm not reading a comic, it's a graphic novel elitism that started to spring up by people embarrassed to admit they read comics.

I also can't stand the whole Moore isn't doing this therefore it's "evil." I mean someone else writing with someone's character and setup is so common in the comic industry and all creative industries. Makes me wonder what the reaction will be if the Nolan Batman series continues.

Well, I guess we have different opinions about it. I thought the concept, characters, and execution were as good as I could possibly imagine. It's hard to avoid being called overrated when the book has masses of people calling it the best ever, though.

I'm all for things that soften the blow for my nerdy hobbies. Walking Dead and the Batman movies have done a lot to bring in comic noobs which helps new books to be produced.

If it was just 1 monthly book "Before Watchmen" then I'd be a lot more ok with it and probably would have checked it out. The fact that there's so many, most of which seem to be dogshit in quality, is what bothers me. Like a half assed attempt at milking the most dedicated fans of the original series.

Why?
Click to expand...

Hardcore Lois/ Clark fans who hated the reboot. There is also the sound argument that casting WW as love interest to the other big two could diminish her own stories. WW as a character has struggled to carve out on individual identity. Anyway I am not a big Supes or Wondy fan so blah.

In all likelihood it's a stunt that might last 12-18 months and if I had to do it I would do Batman/WW because of precedence in the last DCU.
