Damn son. Get to it.

i need to finish up the last 3 trades of Harbinger soon and get back on my Valiant lore lovefest

i've just been having too much damn fun playing Rocket League online with some old friends

The last 3 trades of Harbinger... emotional turmoil awaits you. :'(

They're coming back next year though! I would love to see Dysart back on Harbinger, but Imperium has so far been very intriguing and original (think superpowered Cold War between two villains); I would not mind another writer to come onto the new Harbinger series.

 

[Brian Fellows]

How about those comics, guys? I am gonna catch up on Deadly Class tonight.

Me too actually. 7 issues to go.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Comics? Simonson's Thor. It's been on my mind all day. I really can't believe this was written in the 80s.

(I know I am really lttp on this) I guess everyone here's already read it?.

Only because my friends dad was buying it every month and he let us read his books

 

[PsychBat!]

Same.
I was doing great and then relapsed.
Even diet soda will mess you up.

Only because it reminds you of it's sugary counterpart.

That's a great first step. I got sick of it one day and stopped drinking it, but it's one of the hardest to quit for most people, so I commend you.

It wasn't that hard. But maybe it's cuz I wasn't drinking that much prior to quitting.

First statement is definitely true.

I think i was drinking so much at one point, I just got sick of it. It was even way before I started actually getting into fitness.

 

[TetraxShards]

Going home for a few days on Wednesday, basically no internet so I'm gonna read a bunch of comics then.

I think i was drinking so much at one point, I just got sick of it.

I think I have reached this point.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Working toward to not being a blob. I quit soda and have no regrets.

Good idea. A few years back I lost about 35lbs in 3 months and basically all I did was stop drinking soda and eating fast food.

 

[BKatastrophe]

At 23, I feel like I'm on the young side of the spectrum here

Dude same!
Besties?

Fuck pizza dog.

apparently you can equip him with a knife

I have never been looking forward to a game this much

That's because DD's brain is what Blade Wolf's A.I. is based off of.

 

[Owzers]

Secret wars #5 for me tonight, was going to last night but it was getting late. I'm now reduced to talking about comics I will read over comics I've read. Also, I hate hearthstone.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Dude same!
Besties?

You like Ivar and D.Gray-man.

As far as I know, we've been besties for awhile.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Has someone of you looked in the MGS spoilertopic? Because I have a question that isnt spoilerish at all, but I dont dare to go there.

 

[BKatastrophe]

I want to say that if Silk became a villain, it'd be godlike. Why? Well lemme explain:

Silk is, for all intents and purposes, after a market that's already saturated. She's a female Spider-Man. That's it, and there's not much more to it. She doesn't have her own lore/mythos, really. She has her backstory, which is unique, and it involves a mysterious benefactor (with possible ties to HYDRA), but beyond that she doesn't have anything. I like her as a character, but I imagine that having a solo book dedicated to a character that slowly, but surely, becomes a supervillain would be an awesome thing to have. And to have that book possibly continue? I'd love it.

That's just me, though.

Is Operation: Ground Zeroes Part of the Game or is it really excluded?

Nah, man, nah. Not worth it. Suppose i had entered pre-release mgs3 spoiler thread and seen dudes talking about The Pain? Wouldve avoided what is otherwise a very solid game like the plague. Same with mgs4 and all the johnny sasaki (literal) shit.

Its mgs, better to wait and be amazed/horrified/stupefied.

 

[Zombine]

My mood went from a 10 to a 0.5 in a matter of like 30 minutes. At least I have Madea and Comics.

But you can keep Madea.

I'm not 100% but from what I heard it was a simulation or certain events may have not have happened during GZ aka fake memories. No one fully knows other than everything isn't what it seems. All of the reviews say there is a twist that happens.

Spoiler

Ah, cool, so we were right, we in the spoiler thread thought this back when the game released.

But I rather meant if the missions from the Ground Zeroes release are also playable when you only own Phantom Pain

Don't think so, no.

I'm not sure but my guess is no. GZ is a preorder bonus for the PC version.

Exiles! Well, at least until Claremont takes over.

God dammit, Tyrant. I was going to make a Gunbuster avatar.

One of these days.

Thanks, I'll check them out. It'll break up the upcoming Thor titles in the reading order!

Don't forget the Max titles. Most of them are good. Punisher Max v1 is excellent, v2 is good, and Nick Fury Max is one of the best things marvel ever published.

Also kinda liked Luke Cage Max, yojimbo adaption that it is.

Oh yeah, Destroyer Max is super fun! Oddly overlooked, that one.

It's safe to read these without having to know a bunch of 616 lore, and safe from spider-porn?

 

[Coriolanus]

Sadly yes, on both counts.

Max titles are completely independent.

 

[BKatastrophe]

I thought Remender's Uncanny X-Force took place AFTER Age of Apocalypse, but according to the chapter showing the aftereffects of the events of X-Force on the AoA, it says "continued in Age of Apocalypse."

I should read Age of Apocalypse.

Wasnt there a new Age of Apocalypse Ongoing after AvX?

Ever wondered what would happen if Ellis tried to write like Morrison?

Wonder no more.

Also features the worst haircut to ever grace comix, courtesy of Prof. Night:

Other than that, Blue Rose is pretty decent so far.

 

[Messi]

Tula Lotays art is stunning to me.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Was there?

She's a unique character, and I like her a lot, but she's not gonna last unless they really give her something. She doesn't have much of anything right now. She has "Peter Parker: Female Edition" going on, along with a missing family and a bunker. Oh, and her main baddie is Black Cat, of all people.

That is indeed the worst haircut I've ever seen, looks like a puckered butt-hole.

Same could be said for Gwen. She is female Spider-Man but less interesting than Silk with a better costume.

 

[PsychBat!]

Silk >>> Spider-Gwen.

 

[Messi]

Silk >>> Spider-Gwen.

You are a good dude Psych. I will remove you from the list you were on.

 

[Coriolanus]

Squirrel-Girl>>> She-Hulk >>> Spider-Woman > Silk = Spider-Gwen.

way too many heroines with a name starting with S, tbh.

Spider-Woman??? She has the charisma of Carol!

Yeah, but she showed up in Hawkguy. Can't say that about the other two.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Spider-Woman??? She has the charisma of Carol!

Okay, but Spider-Woman was really great in Secret Avengers.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Okay, so on the Inhumans wiki page, it lists Quake as a "post-Infinity" Inhuman alongside Kamala and others.

Is this true? Did 616 Quake get retconned into an Inhuman instead of a mutant? I know MCU Quake is an Inhuman, but when did this happen in the comics? And how do they explain her having powers prior to the T-Bomb?

 

[jon bones]

Spider-Woman is a total bro now.

Anyway Kamala > everybody if we talkin newish Marvel heroines.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

SpiderGwen is neato, you are all wrong

 

[Messi]

Great costume not much else appeals about that book to me.
