DOOMSWAG! THE LATVERIAN SWAG!
Reading Infinity Gauntlet, never got into this crap back in high school and I still think the Mehvel cosmic stuff is a bunch of assclowns and ponces; so I'm in it for Cap taking it to Thanos.
Doom punking the shit out of Silver Surftard is so awesome. :3

12 issues of reboot crippled sadness, madness, and frustration hardly count as an earnest and sincere attempt at making a good run. And don't blame BB fans, because no one boycotted after Ted was dead. The Jaime character was fairly well done in Original Continuity, all things considered, including his alliances with Green Lantern and Peacemaker. I was reading a comic recently, possibly one of DC's 'Zero' issues. And the editor had an insert going on about how he loved sneaking comic books into class, and how he used to wear a paper crown and eat hamburgers with his friends Archie and Reggie. I'm like...what the fuck. These people aren't only out of touch, they actually inhabit an alternate reality. He's writing nostalgia love notes to school kids who aren't reading his book. No one rides their BMX to the local 7-11 or Drug Store to buy 6 comics for 5 bucks anymore. It's a problem of sales, production, and supply and demand, and they're trying to fix all of that by writing and shuffling titles around? They don't even know who's buying their books, they're disconnected from their market and they're tapped of ideas for how to link to the next generation. It's sad.
A friend of mine just passed his Books of Doom issues onto me, hope they're good! <3 Doom.
Really cool mini-series, if you want a good single story Doom issue check out Fantastic Four #258.

Yes they are all still worth reading. Thanos Imperative more or less ended all of the stories that started with Annihilation/Annihilation: Conquest. There really didn't need to be more but the books were so good that many people (including myself) wanted more. The fact that we are now, a few years later, going to get more Nova and GotG but completely messed up and neutered versions is why people are complaining. It doesn't make those old stories bad or not worth checking out though.
At the least, read Annihilation, Annihilation: Conquest, and the Nova + GotG ongoings. After that you may as well check out Thanos Imperative too since it caps it all off despite it being weaker than those 4 "series". War of Kings/Realm of Kings were both pretty mediocre so you can probably skip those and just read the Nova/GotG stuff that happened during them.

Hey, she smacked around Wolverine in-panel.
I'd love a book of her beating up X-Men every month!

The best argument for Peter's replacement I've seen so far is Miguel O'Hara
-Fits the build
-Has to wear protective lenses for his eyes(Superior Spider-Man suit has new lenses)
-Has claws(ditto)
-Is a bit meaner and ruthless than ol' Petey(not above killing people)
Seeing how I was into the 2099 thing, I would be pretty ok with this.
How could that work?
My knowledge of Shang is rather limited, but from what I do know it doesn't look like he'd kill anyone....would he?

We all know godtier Art Adams is slow as hell, but it would be worth it.
Damn!

Miguel O'hara? Nooo. Don't try to ruin my 2099 continuity, Marvel! I bet they make it the non-Ultimate Miles Morales.
Does he have to kill people? Where are you getting this from?
Its been my understanding that this version of spider-man is much darker. I also believe someone had said at some point in time here that there was art showing him stabbing someone in the spine with a toe claw or something to that nature?
Well, among the stuff Dan Slott has been repeating on these interviews is not to think "dark and weird" is "grim and gritty". Not that I would know the difference, but it doesn't seem like he will go spider-punisher on us. Maybe more violent, as someone without spider-powers would need to be in order to stop bad guys, but I can't see him not being a hero as we understand it.
You mean the opposite of his entire run?

Seriously. Guy's had a spectacular Spider-man run. Top tier.
If it's not Peter I'm going to be pretty disappointed. Not full of rage, just overwhelming sadness.
If only Ramos' art didn't ruin long stretches of it. His Cap is vomit on paper.

The only thing that supports this at the moment is the claws and the existence of some time tech at Horizon, but that's it.

Apparently DC may have let the cat out of the bag regarding future issues of Wonder Woman.
*SPOILER ALERT*
They really did look to 4chan for their New52 ideas. :|
*SPOILER ALERT*
Wonder Woman will kill Ares. Yes, again. And, she refuses to take his place as the new God of War.

How is this a bad thing? I know you love to reach for bad DC stories, but where is the OMG bad 4chan part?

That's the work of Dean White.
His first arc following up Remender on Venom was lolbad. I think that's all I've read from him.
Was that the arc with the giant monsters? I did not enjoy that.
You mean the MONSTERS OF EVIL, and yes, yes it was.
lmao oh man that is what they were called. Ugh. I'm deciding whether I want to pick up Venom tomorrow or just drop it.

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"

Pretty neat.
Better than that piece of crap in the MvC3 manual, at least.
Zola is pretty stupid. I don't understand why she's so presumptuous as to mouth off to gods all the time. Admittedly between all their ridiculous scheming and Wonder Woman schooling them every issue, they do come off looking a little buffoonish. Still, shut the fuck up, Zola. Go sit in the corner and be pregnant until your MacGuffin is born.
Well, someone didn't read issue #12.
Also, you try and see if when crazy fuckers try to kill you and your baby for something that might happen in the future you don't sass the shit out of them when the opportunity arises.
