Disagree. Some character concepts are just fundamentally not what you are interested in.
True I suppose you could try googling how to get started, I am sure there are many basic tutorials.

How do I read sunstone? Its relevant to my interests.
AoA is done. 2099 probably won't exist after this current Superior arc ends.

Out of curiousity, how did you get started? Maybe you should go make BDSM-GAF OT.
It all gets posted to DeviantArt. Here: http://shiniez.deviantart.com/
It's up to Chapter 4 so far.

I dunno, we all have only so much leisure time, so to each their own books, but this strikes me as a great way to rob yourself of some fantastic stuff you'd truly enjoy. I think of all the comics - to say nothing of other forms of entertainment - I would have missed if I approached them like this. Those are some of my favorite comics ever. I'd hate to have missed them because it was Superman or the Teen Titans or Captain America or, shit, weirdass indy stuff. Makes me sad to even contemplate.

There was a BDSM GAF and it got shuttered if I remember correctly. I just dabble and nowhere near as much to make an OT.
I got started through reading some stuff online years ago and learning from there led to trying stuff out alone and then with and ex.
Edit: I was incorrect, here it is BDSM-GAF
No writer will ever be skillful enough to make me like the Falcon. Fuck that guy.

I didn't know it was a thing one could do alone. I mean, I know it was touched on in the comic, but it seems very much like a two-person activity.

Poor Christopher Priest. He fucking killed it on Cap and Falcon, but if I told you to read that, you'd laugh. And you'd be right to do so. But that's the reason I like the Falcon.
Unlike many here I'll drop a book for atrocious writing but I'm not sure I've ever done it for atrocious art.
Self bondage is where it started for me and I am sure a lot of people. I imagine alot of people never go past that stage.

I agree with you and I try out new books all the time. But I also have certain loose rules about what I'm looking for in a comic and what I'm not that determine what I'll pick up. You need to have some kind of decision making process about which books you will give your time or else... I don't know what? Or else I guess you just read what everyone else reads? Or you drive yourself to the poor house trying to read everything?

Hm... Will certainly peruse.
It's funny what topics conversations about comics can diverge into.
Whoever here reccomended Sunstone should be given some award for nailing it. They said it was risque so I assume maybe there would be sex involved. I clicked the link and was stunned lol. Perfect fit. I suppose Saga gets some credit for this as I asked for love stories like Saga.

Depends on what you are looking for in comics. I've mentioned before that a shared universe is one thing that is of particular importance to me. I really, really like the knowledge that books and characters link up together. Because of this particular appreciation of mine it takes a really good indie book to catch my eye. This isn't a slight to indie titles, I have a few of them on my pull list at the moment (Saga, Ten Grand and Red Sonja by Gail Simone), but each one has been a special case. Saga was an impulse lot purchase of the first couple issues on the cheap. The second was because I am a huge B5 fan and wanted to see what JMS was doing and Red Sonja because I like Simone. There have been others, of course, but it's always some weird trigger that makes me do it and I never have many at once.

Bleeding Cool posted an article on it a few weeks ago [or, you know, a week]. That's where I first heard of it.

Being a relatively new comic fan I don't have any nostalgic attachment towards characters. I started reading a couple of series that interested me and then started following certain creators. I wouldn't have discovered some of my favorite series if I hadn't read comics about characters that I didn't care about at the time or was unfamiliar with. I guess it is different for fans who have been reading comics their entire life.

I finally read the last arc of Star Wars:Legacy. I enjoyed the series as a whole but the last arc felt completely rushed.
The final showdown with Krayt happened so fast.

Read two more villains books.
Count Vertigo. Sorentino is my favorite artist right now. I love his style and with Maiolos inks, the pages just pop! As far as story goes, it was solid.
Two-Face was great. This was a book that tied into Forever Evil well and barely went back in time. Did a great job showing the state of Gotham without Batmam and of course Two-Face's fight with the duality of everything before flipping a coin.

In Invincible #105, it looks like Kirkman's going down the route where
Also, I'm excited at all the Marvel cosmic events cleaning up the multiverses and timestream, there's just way too much convoluted stuff. As a massive Cap fan, I'd personally do a thorough soft reboot of Marvel WWII as well, stuff like The Human Torch (Jim Hammond) setting Hitler on fire is just stupid. The Invaders need to be fixed too, give them more of a serious look (Namor should just have his full vest or some sort of cool Atlantean military gear).
I'm going to just agree with everyone that Waid had an awesome Cap run, I want him back when Remender leaves the book, with no editorial interference this time.
Robot's lust for being a ruler could potentially lead him to down a major path of villainy. If you ask me, I wouldn't mind it as he's become a colossal dick, I'd rather have the awesome Rex back then his ass, maybe he could return via cloning??? Hmmm....

I told Immonen I dug that incredible panel in ANXM where Jean's looking out the blackbird window. He wrote back to confirm his genius:

I personally took the comment along the lines of "even with the best writing some concepts don't appeal to you enough to hook you." Writing can only do so much within the constraints working on a long running character imposes.
For example, the current cap run lost me after a few months but it seems to be something comics-gaf praises. As another example, hawkeye fails to hook me every time I get peer pressured into giving it another shot.
The biggest one is that even though i have read and enjoyed some xmen stories, I still don't fundamentally care about it. I was interested in individual arcs and plots but the underlying concept still feels really... disposable, I suppose? Like mutant-ness itself is not interesting, like it was an excuse to have a massive array of toys to play with and any attempts to retrofit the concept with the persecuted-minority thing never completely took hold, and none of the toys were quite cool enough to get me to just roll with it. That may be wholeheartedly wrong, I don't know much about the original creation of the franchise. I've only really tried reading as many as I have because a friend's collection of xmen books completely eliminated the barrier to entry for those stories.

This doesn't really make much sense, since the Tribunal is far, far more powerful than a single cosmic cube.
He's the only entity that can overpower a fully assembled infinity gauntlet just by saying so. Was that bad writing? or something else?
edit: did some checking. Looks like thanos defeated the elders of the universe (which are a totally different group of beings) using something that wasn't actually a cosmic cube.
The elders are pretty far below the tribunal in the cosmic heirarchy. There really shouldn't be ANYTHING that can kill the tribunal outright.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I thought it was this week. Where would I find my info on release dates so this does not keep happening to me?
If there's anything to be taken from the past decade of Marvel events, it's that one only builds to the next. There's no grand scheme to it, just a continuing momentum.
Notice how many times Marvel groups its events into trilogies, with the first part always being bumped out to make room for the newest one.

Correction thanos killed the elders of the universe not the living tribual

I can kinda see how that would work with the X-Men events.
No way a cosmic cube takes out the tribunal.
lol Maguire's blonde's are all the same. Still like his stuff though.
I can't imagine what can kill it. Isn't the LT the second most powerful being in the marvel-verse after The One Above All? Like you said he shut down the infinity gauntlet by just saying so and I don't think there was ever a weapon more powerful then the gauntlet, right?
thanks

Well, you did say over the last 10 years. The Xmen crossover events from "house of M/Decimation" up until AvX have more or less been chapters in one long continuous story about how mutantkind is basically gone and how the xmen are dealing with being an endangered species.
excluding the ones that are xmen specific (for the above reasons), Wiki gives me:
Avengers Disassembled (2004)
House of M (2005)
Annihilation (2005-2006)
Civil War (2006-7)
World War Hulk (2007)
Annihilation: Conquest (2008)
Secret Invasion/Dark Reign (2008)
War of Kings (2009)
Fall of the hulks/world war hulks (2009-2010)
Shadowland (2010)
Chaos War (2011)
Fear Itself (2011)
AvX (2012)
Age of Ultron (2013)
Infinity (2013)
BoTA (2013)
Annihilation/Conquest/War of Kings works as a trilogy, as does WWH/Fall of the Hulks/World War Hulks.
Avengers disassembled leads into House of M, but House of M and Civil War don't have any clear direct ties.
Secret Invasion actually branches off of Annihilation (where the skrull empire was destroyed) not civil war, per wiki. That leads into Dark Reign, and THEN seige incorporates elements of both. "heroic age" (not really an event) sort of closed this out.
"Fear itself" is sort of standalone, as is "chaos war." one isn't really the direct result of the other.
AvX is the result of the build up of a good decade's worth of storylines within Xmen (phoenix is coming back, hope is the avatar) and drags the avengers into it. it's also standalone, though shakes up the marvel status quo a bit, integrating the xmen better with the rest of the marvel U.
Age of Ultron kicks off a series of events we've been discussing for the last page. who knows how far down the rabbit hole this one will go.
mostly correct. There's a one off item called the "heart of the universe" that appeared in "thanos: the end", but I'm pretty sure that thing is out of continuity, and if anyone actually HAD it, *everyone* would know about it. But yeah. for all practical intents and purposes, the LT should be unkillable.
