Murderworld is best worldI'm ok with Colossus being a major villain for the movie. I just want more Colossus. And Ice-man.
But mostly,
True. Is she a big Deadpool character? I only know her because she popped up in Whedon's Astonishing.
Disney as fuck
That comic doesn't stop delivering
Yet perfect
Mounting the head of your enemy on the top of your Christmas tree is pretty harsh.

Happy Christmas comicsgaf. (Already the 25th in my current time zone).
Halfway through my holiday and I am starting to miss reading comics.
Watched Star Wars and that was a disappointment too. Finn and maybe a couple of scenes were the only thing memorable about it.

Sorry you didn't like it. I'll be going to see it again in a couple of hours.
Yeah, it's a pretty great pile of stuff for fifteen bucks.
I too use my tablet for photos.....
but anyways, i was only kidding. Hmmmm maybe i make too many teasing posts.

I liked it more on my second viewing. I'd go again but going to the theater is too time consuming. Got to get there early, 30 minutes of ads/trailers, etc. so I'll wait for the blu ray

You know what was a cool thread? That one thread that explained everything about Ultron before AoU came out. There should be more threads like that. Explaining major characters that people are incredibly unfamiliar with before a movie comes out. They're enjoyable threads.
Hmmm then that is odd.
He seems really familiar. Was in the Fantastic Four book during the whole Initiative stuff? When the team consisted of Ben, Johnny, T'challa, and Storm?.jpg)

I'm going to go see it tonight in 70mm for the first time, I think I've been spoiled on one thing (in dota 2 of course) but I don't know for sure and I don't want anyone to confirm it. All the Abram's films I've seen have been good popcorn flicks but not super memorable, I do think critics love him and overrate him a bit (those star trek reviews), so I'm not going in with crazy expectations.
I'll be happy if the film isn't over reliant on nostalgia and doesn't feel like a remake of a new hope.
I like seeing the villain's history but the movies never live up to the source material. Maybe someone can make a Doomsday thread explaining why he's such a one dimensional character
, but a Lex thread would be cool. I probably won't participate in anymore BvS threads in fear of spoilers and lack of positive discussion.Freezasaurus

That might be the shittiest quality image I've ever seen.
That said, if I want to get a good look at bishoujo Wasp, all I need do at this moment is look to my right.

She's a cutie. She came out pretty great considering how simple her costume actually is.
That picture isn't entirely accurate, though. The wings on the final piece look just like insect wings in that you can see color through them.

Totally! Needs a rolling motion.

No, he means font size. He wanted "Roll" to be the same size as the other text. He could always paint it, I guess.

So I've been out of the comics game for a few months, so I'm sure this has been covered to death, but oh my stars and sweet Christmas garters, is the iPad pro an absolutely insane comic reader. I'm not saying you should get one just for that, because it's too expensive for that, but holy crap!
Weird world 1 on the giant screen was one of the most beautiful comics I've ever read. Fun too.
In all the catch up,mi will say that I'm very disappointed that daredevil went with the most boring, retcon reversal storyline they could go with. No Kirsten is bad enough, but putting the secret identity back in the bottle is so boring.

Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham
I really enjoyed this story. It was fun to see Mignola combining Hellboy-style mythos and storytelling with Batman's mythos, creating an interesting and unique tale that I really enjoyed. Of course, as with all Mignola tales, the art was on point. Just a very cool, yet macabre story, that was a very enjoyable treat and a nice break from the usual Batman fare.
Earth 2: World's End Vol. 1
Another story I really enjoyed, due to the fact that everything Earth 2 has been sick and awesome and hype as hell. A lot of story to pack in here, I feel like some of the stuff gets a little lost. The battles to feel to have much impact, utilizing as little space as possible within the story. A bit disappointing, since Earth 2's fights were always pretty good. Very emotional, however, and I like that. Still, it handles all the simultaneous stories surprisingly well, though obviously not the backstories to a lot of the newly introduced characters. Though, that's essentially what the last run of issues (Volume 6 in the trades) of Earth 2 was for. Having read that, it gives a lot more weight to what's going on here.
All that aside, I'm still really enjoying it. Knowing a bit of what happens in Convergence (effectively where this story finishes) does diminish the tension slightly, but it also doesn't break it, and that's what's important.
The art is probably the weakest part of this, taking on a slightly more cartoon-y look in some areas. Using a little bit of strange distortions here and there. The art still works and fulfills it's purpose, and the change isn't particularly offensive, so it's fine.
All in all, I'm ready to continue this story, having been one of my favorite (if not my favorite) of the New 52 stories.
Oh, one last bit; why the hell is
here? It makes no sense. I don't remember anything happening
that would have caused it.

Is DD worth reading once I finish Bendis's run or should I just jump straight to Waid?
Also Hickman's Fantastic Four/Ff is way too good.

I would be more than okay with a Doomsday thread.I like seeing the villain's history but the movies never live up to the source material. Maybe someone can make a Doomsday thread explaining why he's such a one dimensional character
I remember there was a Thanos thread awhile back that didn't last long.
Let's see, Slayven did the Ultron thread

I wasn't any less emotional the second time watching TFA. I must be punished.
That Gravity guy reminds me, what's the last time Marvel successfully made a new male character that wasn't forgotten 5 minutes later?
They seem to do well with females (X-23, Silk, Spider Gwen, Angela) but I can't remember the last time a male character was introduced (that mattered / stuck around)
Miles?
