Probably won't go back til Sat at earliest but more likely next Weds and they will probably be gone by then :( I'm not sure if I'll be working Saturday with the blizzard and all. If I make it out there I'll pick up an extra for you. There was a 1 limit per customer but I'm sure it'll be okay.

I'm a bit LTTP with this conversation, but this thread added three pages of posts since I checked last night.

New Avengers Infinity Gems (w/ issue 3 spoilers):

The Mind Gem shows up at three different colours during the course of New Avengers #3. At the start of the book, when beast receives the gem from Xavier's safe, it is blue which is the correct color. In the second scene, just before the Illuminati put together the gauntlet, it is coloured red (which is the colour of the power gem). Finally, when the gems shatter, it is coloured green (which is the colour of the soul gem). None of the gems are coloured correctly in that second scene. The only gem that is coloured correctly in the final scene is the time gem which disappeared.

The same colourist worked on issues 2 and 3, and all of the gems are the correct colour in #2. Either he forgot their colours the following month, or it is intentional.

I guess that explains why I read Bruce Wayne whining about being rich an unappreciated, that was an idea I had never once seen in a DC comic. Their characters have always been super rich super heroes but they never acted like it was some kind of cross to bear.

Green Team is actually a (presumably very loose) revamp of a very obscure 70s DC title, only one issue of which was ever published.

They also made cameos in a couple of the Ambush Bug minis:

But why the hell frame it as a 1% vs 99% thing? That's dumb as fuck.

Based on the interviews, that's a stupid promotional stunt that's really only relevant to Simone's book.

And for as much as I think Gail Simone is overrated, The Movement sounds super exciting, in a zeitgeisty way. Save for the cancellation of Sword of Sorcery, this round of news is on fucking fire. These are Fun and Exciting times.

Hyperion Books and Marvel Entertainment today announced plans to partner and publish two action-packed novels featuring popular Marvel super heroes. Scheduled for release in June, both novels showcase strong, smart heroines seeking happiness and love while battling cosmic evil.

...

The announcement was made by Hyperion’s Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Dyssegaard. Of the deal, Dyssegaard says, “Marvel has had tremendous success with recent hit movies and we think it’s a great time to explore what happens to super heroines when they are dropped into traditional women’s novels.”

Injustice was decent, but it just reads like an old Elseworlds or What if? title. When you don't have to worry about continuity or franchise longevity, doing crazy things is easy. Also, aspects of the scenario remind me of a mash-up of Kingdom Come, The Dark Knight, and Red Son.

This seems like one of those projects that is clearly intended to capture a young female readership, but will primarily be read by 25-45 year old men.

My thoughts on the Injustice series so far.

Injustice imo is just a lame excuse to have Batman beat Superman and give him the 9 yards about why he shouldn't go bad blah blah blah. Which is why most fighting game stories are crap.

Sure the shock value was good and seeing Supes run his hand through Joker was great and the plot works out as Supes lost everything thanks to the mad clown. But its hard to take it seriously when you know at the end of the series someone will stop him and make him realize that he is a good guy excluding the possibility of a bad ending. Like this turn from hero to dictator isn't legit so to say.

Taylor makes Superman go through a painful loss and uses that to turn him into a killer. Its a change of character for the sake of the story. Superman didn't naturally turn into a dictator. They had to make him lose something to turn him into one. Thats one of the things I dislike about Injustice. I'll might change my mind as more issues come out and more of the story is freshed out, maybe Taylor will surprise me and convince me that the story is good.

The one that kills off Peter Parker only to have a stupid fucking story that pewters out in nine fucking issues. If you're gonna go for something like that, make it last. Or at least, make it mean something. Hickman and Morrison got it right. It's not like it cannot be done. It's just that doing it like this with that kind of payoff fucking blows.

I LIKE TO THINK I AM BETTER THAN THIS OKAY (i'm probably not and PUNS ARE HARD WHEN ENGLISH IS YOUR SECOND LANGUAGE)

I've already won one bet on this stupid-ass storyline. I'm up for another : Peter Parker will not be Spider-Man again. Somebody take me up on this. I'm game for whatevs.

Can I rant about Superior Spider-man? You know what bugs me most about it? It's that it's so obvious. I don't mean the thing actually happening itself. I mean everything that happened afterwards. As soon as Ock became Peter Parker it was just so obvious what they were going to do. Oh he's going to fuck with MJ, oh he is going to be harder on criminals and possibly kill, oh he's going to do this and that. It's like I've instantly mapped out all possibilities in my head, and now I'm just waiting for the book to go through the motions and get this story over with already.

Maybe it'll find a way to surprise me though, and maybe the ending will have real consequences other than Ock being dead for good. Guess we'll see.

*shrug*


About Superior Spider-Man, I remember some speculation going on after the first issue that this storyline was coming... that either there'd be a fight for control of the body that Peter's ghost would lose, OR that Peter's ghost would decide Otto was doing a good enough job as Spider-Man that he could move on to the afterlife.

Or maybe Peter's ghost is going to go inhabit someone else's body... say, did we ever find out anything about 616 Miles Morales?

I can find it. Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: Awesome! Her old look is just so iconic for me that I'm pleased to see it return. I understood what they were trying for with the new one but it just didn't work out. And damn that is a sexy looking cover.
