And Nova Sam.
HA!
Oh right, him too.
Well she stuck around and became somewhat important, more so than, I dunno, Maggott? Random?
Lol Maggott :/ I loved him when Joe Mad created him you know >_>
Then he was retconned into a scrawny kid for whatever reason

Tieri's Weapon X ruled!
Didn't know Deodato was the artist on Dark Avengers.
Quickly remind me what lead to this (or Dark Reign in general). Was it secret invasion?
Edit: I loved this first issue. I really am a sucker for villains as good guys

Secret Invasion

What is the difference between a Secret Invasion and a Secret War?
One sucked and I didn't read the other.

I thought Secret Invasion was pretty bad when I read it, but Marvel has had some real stinkers since then. And What If? Secret Invasion was pretty good.
Good lord Sentry, stop ripping people apart
Yeah I'm digging this book lol
Is that Dark Avengers?

His belt is too big.
He'd have trouble bending over with that belt.

Doomsday is a joke, but apparently there's quite a large number of posters on GAF who think he's some character that's being done a huge disservice by BvS.
Just a thread dedicated to showing the world that he's a joke
Sure is, just started it. It seems to crossover with a lot of other titles tho, and it leads to Siege and I'm not sure I'm ready to read Siege right now, but I'm digging it so far
He goes to the same tailor as Hyperion
Technically you would probably want to go as far back as Avengers Disassembled since all of those stories up until Siege may one long arc and make for a good read..
good read?

I really enjoyed Dark Avengers. Though I wouldn't really say it crosses over with anything. It took place during Dark Reign, which was more of a state of affairs than a proper event. Beyond that, it was basically the replacement for the main Avengers book. Just like each Avenger usually has their own solo series occurring alongside the main Avengers book, so is the case here. I don't think any of it was really too memorable for me outside of Dark Avengers and the Dark Reign issues of Ms. Marvel. The Hood was also a fun read.
As for Siege, it was only four issues. It shouldn't take you more than an hour or so.

Hyperion's costume might be my least favorite thing about the Marvel Universe.
It's awful.
Some of the events inside are questionable(though I don't have the same issue with Civil War as much as you guys do), but the overall story of that arc in Marvel history is good is good and there are some nice books in there like Dark Avengers.
Sentry is the worst character ever here!
Hmmmmm
*checks MU
You lie Freeza, it's 51 issues!
You know I read every tie in when I do events >_<
That first mini is amazing tho

Reading 47 tie-ins to accompany a 4-issue series seems like a waste of time to me. Honestly, Siege felt like it was over too soon. That's not something one usually says about a Marvel event, but there it is.
WAIT! Don't read the tie-ins to Siege! You're going down a rabbit hole of pointlessness if you do! More so than other tie-ins!
My ocd is stronger than any of your warnings!
I read all 100+ of Civil War, Siege is peanuts in comparison
I was playing around with the wording and clearly didn't double check it lol.
Our heroes slowly reaching rock bottom after the Avengers are disassembled and events like Civil War continue to divide them further while Norman Osborn uses this opportunity to take over. The six year story concludes with our heroes fighting back and Avengers are reassembled.
Some of the events are messy but I like how Marvel made a long story like this out of them.

I honestly don't mind Brandon Graham all that much. Multiple Warheads was a fun book. But I admit it's pretty jarring when you're used to a certain art style in an ongoing and then he pops up as the guest artist for an issue.

Happy holidays everyone.
For comic related gifts, I got a Red Son Superman logo shirt, Daredevil Born Again, and Ant-Man on Blu-Ray. Pretty happy.

What?
Who speaks this maddness.
I smiled so hard when ha showed up because people complained about Marvel Villains. I bet they will shine next to Doomsday. He is just a plot device that can quickly get old.

Him too. He was complicit in ruining the X-men with that Morrison guy.
Already covered, but yeah, absolutely read Brubaker's run. It's awesome and follows up directly on the Bendis stuff.

Don't know if agree.
I liked the Morrison run on New X-Men as a whole. It was novel for me to read a Morrison story where I knew what the hell was going on. My exposure to Morrison up to that point consisted purely of his more off-the-wall books.

That Red Son shirt is gonna get you some funny looks
In all fairness, from the sounds of things Doomsday isn't really the "villain." That's Lex's job.
If Eisenberg manages to deliver, it's not a bad idea. Separate the physical threat from the intellectual/emotional thread.
Man Deodato's art in Dark Avengers is fantastic stuff. .. let me guess, he only lasts 4 issues >_>
Why does his Norman looks exactly like Tommy Lee Jones tho
Edit: also fuck you guys, I'm really into Sentry in Dark Avengers. Or at least the idea of this unstable godlike dude that they can't really control and might snap at any minute. Man this is a fun book, what happened to Bendis?
No...really.
