Thanks for the info. F2P games are exhausting.

I spent $100 on that one and played it for like, two days. Never again.

The actual gameplay was so good, but everything else about the experience was awful. Such a shame.

 

[caliph95]

You guys are the reason i'm thankful i never had credit card until; recently and that i'm to cheap for those f2p game. Those things are deigned to suck money like mosquitos

Man I like where the story of Infamous Iron Man is heading with

Spoiler

Ultimate Reed(and boy is it fucked up he's shagging Doom's mom)

but I still can't get over Doom adopting someone else's identity and costume(especially Tony's), and he just doesn't sound like Doom. It feels like this is some completely different character calling himself Doom.

I was having similar thoughts reading today's issue, when he was telling Ben about how he

Spoiler

Missed Reed and Sue

I get that the ending of Secret Wars made him reevaluate everything, I just kinda wish it was conveyed better than, "I was a god for a while, but now I'm not so I guess I'll be a good guy" I do like how the book is a small bit a stealth Fantastic Four comic with Doom and Ben, Fantastic Four rogues,

Spoiler

Evil Reed

we just need Human Torch to show up at some point.

Though I thought Doom using the Iron Man suit and name was explained pretty well in the first issue, he wants to convince the world that he's gone straight and he decided it would be easier if he used Iron Man's brand recognition.

It was like the outline for a good game.

At least someone else likes Thanos 🤷🏻*♂️

Of course death is in it (also the comic is good but that is obviously unimportant)
Why is comic death more attractive than real life death

I'm pretty sure I have spent a grand on Hearthstone at this stage. I haven't bought any Journey to Un'Goro packs yet though, so I think I may finally be done.

Most of my MH spending was skins. If I didn't like the default, and this happened often, I would buy at least one skin as a replacement. Some were really silly, like I bought a skin for Spider-Man that's basically a slightly nicer version of the default because it changes Drake Bell's VA to Christopher Daniel Barnes. Ditto any enhanced skins I liked, like FemLoki and Jane Thor (with Jennifer Hale as the VA).

Because characters are way more marketable when people want to fuck them.

We should tell god that people will be less depressed if they know how fuckable death is though it would encourage suicide so probable not
Moving on
we do get a history lesson Ultimates about the multiverse and the origins of Celestials

The only books I've read so far this week are X-Men Blue and Scarlet Spider and I posted impressions of them earlier. This is kinda a meh week in terms of books I would recommend from the smaller publishers.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

So, how man people here read part 2 of the Button storyline in Flash and what do they think about it?
So far, I'm enjoying. Love the art and the story seems to be going places.

So secret we can't even tell you what issues are in it.

IST usually just cuts and pastes from the solicits. The blame is really with Marvel. Those fucks love keeping the secret of their next shitty event.

Where in the world will Chris Bachalo show up?

Yep, it's not going where I expected, but I'm really digging it. It's always good to see post crisis Porter drawing cape comics again.

The return of the Cosmic Treadmill means I'm out. Glad I flipped through it first. Such a stupid plot device.

 

[shingi70]

What are they even doing.

Bro I don't even know but this is the kind of stuff that dudes like Launchpad, Williams, and Slaven enjoy.

Black Monday Murders #5

These were so good.

I bet you don't even enjoy the fantastic four.

I was gonna say, you lit the slayen signal, so prepare for obscure 90s comic references.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Six Gun Gorilla was great! I love this team, The Spire was incredible and this is pretty fantastic too. I'll veer far from spoilers but I love everything it tries to say: about Blue's personal journey and his need for closure, about the role of fiction in our lives, how those two things intertwine and the way in which Spurrier extrapolates them out into uplifting messages and heavy hearted speculative warnings, inwards towards the comics industry and outwards to us all as a global society. All that and the team manage to have their cake and eat it by presenting this as a spectacular rip roaring adventure featuring a gun toting Gorilla tearing through the tumbleweeds, on to the next crazy scene or circumstance. Great stuff, I feel silly for being so late to the party on these folks.

Also there is a really awesome James Harren variant in the cover gallery at the back, which was a nice surprise upon finishing.

 

[Farside]

I bet you don't even enjoy the fantastic four.

I only liked the movies.

None of them are white though.

I bet you just see Scarlett Johanssons in that gif huh.

He did a couple of issues of Justice League 3000.

All people look the same to me.

Oh I know, he's one of my favorites. I have a signed copy of Justice League 3001 from him.

Holy shit yes. Especially the mobile ones. You need some serious self-control if you're gonna play something like Future Fight.

Its a weird thing, but I really hate how Flash is drawn with all those squiggly yellow speed force lines all over him now.

Its really off putting for some reason.

I think it looks cool except when he is standing still or walking slowly.

Why? I never get this attitude with miniseries. But it's why bigger companies are do reluctant to try it.

I rather eat and read it all at once. Gonna do the same for slam

I like the way Manapul draws it. But other than him, I dislike them too.

 

[dan2026]

Fair enough when he is running, but they are even there when he is standing still or doing nothing. It just looks weird.

 

[Manmademan]

No it wouldn't. There's eleventy fucking billion books already, just stick it there. Uprising is mainly going to be a Champions story and you don't see it derailing Champions.

Ultimates² is doing something way good way beyond the little shitty nazi boring thing that I hate. Not every book has to be about your goddamn event. Fuck that noise.

sounds like you're taking the existence of an event you don't like personally.

like it or not, ultimates is stacked with a bunch of earth's powerhouses (minus hyperion and thor) specifically those concerned with cosmic threats and marvel not using an issue to explain their position when earth is literally fenced off from the rest of the universe and hit with trillions of chitauri would be pretty stupid.

I enjoy the run and would rather it continue uninterrupted, but your reaction isn't reasonable here.

 

[MHWilliams]

What are they even doing.

It's the middle of dance. Kpop is like that.

Out of context shit gets weird.

Even in context it get weird.

Thus ends your lesson today.

The Ultimates this week was so fucking cool. I was eating up all that Celestial lore.

It's a shame to see

the new herald sacrifice himself to restore the Lifebringer Galactus, but comic books right!
