I had to scroll back up to make sure that i liked it.
Lol I know, but even your best praise is sort of blasé.
Err reading this Civil War: The initiative book, and they are calling some guy that aparently killed Alpha flight (even if that didn't happen on any CW book they list) "Xorn"...but this is not Magneto...whut

That's covered in the first Bendis New Avengers series, specifically The Collective arc (#16-20 I think). I actually really enjoyed that book until Civil War.
#19 has one of my favourite covers:
Will have to read that eventually then. Can I be a huge cynic for a second and ask... was civil war around the same time as the first Ironman movie? Because between Tony "winning" the war, being a pointed director of shield, having his own mighty Avengers...you see where I'm going with this

It was around a year before. The movie was a huge amount of mood whiplash, at least for me, because Iron Man was never that fun in the comics. In the movie he was funny and he had swagger, in the comics he was still being a douche (making SHIELD helicarrier red and gold, picking his Avengers team like a bold child picking all the super-strong types, getting New York blown up by the Hulk because of a mess he partially caused) and was completely unrepentant for all the nasty shit he did and was still threatening to have Luke Cage's Avengers arrested every five minutes.
It's actually why I'm so curious about the Captain America: Civil War movie. Iron Man's way more popular in the movies, so I wonder how they're going to turn that into him essentially being the villain, because there's no way an MCU film will be that nuanced.
We did get this in the run-up to Civil War, though, Namor da god:

Civil War was 06-07.
Iron Man was april 2008.
Either way no one knew the first film would be a huge hit, so a conspiracy theory would be even sillier than usual.
Will most likely be tied to Ultron being Tony's attempt at policing the world. Film Cap already moved towards giving Shield the finger in Cap 2, so Steve being anti-police state is covered already. Have Cap 3 develop the point further and there you go.
But yeah, movie Tony will most likely never be as huge an asshole as comic Tony.
Was quite impressed by Iron Man Fatal Frontier when Ewing designed a character to point out to Tony that he's such a bloody cunt that he had fuckall progress to show for all his time as director of Shield.

May as well just wait till after Convergence since most series will be starting new arcs and new ongoings will launch.

EDIT: Not to say it looks like it'll be a bad event, I enjoyed the first issue, but it's gonna be super canon-heavy.

Nah man, i get enough bad writing with muh comics. Can't take them comic-based shows.
Arrow needs a pizza dog. Thea, Laurel, Ollie's mom, Tommy, everyone but Diggle and Walter annoy me. Thea especially, they really didn't try to do much with her in the first 11 episodes.

sillymonkey, pls. Arrow, while far from a masterpiece, is on a whole 'nother level than Smallville. Plus, it's some fun stuff.
Daredevil I expect to be well put together, critically acclaimed, and absolutely miserable. House of Cards of Comics.

it's honestly a pretty small Wednesday for me, none of those Convergence books interest me except maybe the Nightwing & Oracle one. also SHIELD #4
I don't think i've seen a monocle out in the wild, but if i do i'll do my best to quell it

Arrow's main advantage over Smallville comes from people not being knocked out every episode to avoid seeing Ollie's identity. All the concussion testing going on in the NFL and no one ever checked Lana out. I was initially liking Arrow a lot but the acting starting getting to me and 11 episodes in and i'm starting to doubt this show is going to be something worthwhile.

Fuck Zero's lightning loops bullshit. My favorites in Marvel 3 were Nova, Doom, Strider, Dante, Vergil, Magneto, Hawkeye, Taskmaster, Viper, and Wolverine. I liked She-Hulk too but she got murdered in Ultimate RIP. I also wish Iron Fist wasn't ass. Hopefully we get to see an MvC4 one day
I think it's a small week for me too. Gonna have to look over the Convergence books to see what I want. I'm okay with that though-- I just spent a ton of money so I could use a small week.
Sounds like you had a good time at Wondercon homie, what's your complete haul?

Not unless the licensing situation changes. (DISNEY LOL).

I don't think Disney had anything to do with it. Capcom just wasn't doing well at the time. (I still don't think it's doing very good).

That's something we'll never really know unfortunately. We just know the contract only allowed for a limited amount of releases and patches and the tsunami/earthquake that year definitely fucked up the original post-release support plans.
Disney most certainly does not want to fund console games outside of Infinity right now, it's not a secret. It's a shame too, because I would love to see a big Marvel game as good as the Batman Arkham games.

Probably my favorite current series coming out right now.
I liked how it had a different artist each issue, they were all great.
And Tom Muller brought it to another level with these cover designs.
