Yea Carey was amazing at keeping the tone of Gaimans work but also able to create his own thing too. I went into that series super skeptical and found it to be an amazing series.

Knowing about Secret Wars makes this Hickman stuff better I think.
Also this feels like more F4 just like Uncanny Avengers felt like more Uncanny X-Force. I mean that in a good way of course. It's funny, back in the day when I used to read before stopping I never really paid atention to who the writers or artists were. Sure I was younger and the Internet wasn't what it is today. But it's funny to look back.

I feel like I missed a lot today.
That's pretty awesome, Korupt.
There are fans and then there are "fans".
"Fans" are assholes.
I'm just gonna go ahead and disag-oh you're banned.
I guess Ms Drew has the last laugh in that case.
The hell.
Black Widow is a great book, but I always feel like I need to take some lithium or thorazine when I read it.
Goddammit, Natasha. Why are you so goddamn miserable all the time. You have friends. Go have some damn fun. You know what? Go hang out with Deadpool or something. Be miserable together.
Rucka's run is god-tier.
Yeah, a lot of the new solo books are really great. Hawkeye and Black Widow are fantastic. The Marvel NOW stuff has been mostly hitting it in the right spot for me.
Daredevil, Punisher, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, Ms Marvel, Deadpool are all great titles. I'm reading Deathlok, but it's sorta eh.

To combine the earlier talk of Mark Waid and the recent talk of the Fantastic Four, I give you my favorite FF story ever: the Fantastic Four meet God (who happens to be Jack Kirby)

Happy Black History Month, everybody!

Damn, I was thinking about buying it, if only someone was around to recommend it... oh well...

Right, so my Image Hit List update:
Casanova
Deadly Class
Nameless
Zero
Manhattan Projects
Velvet
Thief of Thieves
ODY-C
Black Science
East of West
The Fade Out
Chew
Caught up to Thief of Thieves today. Really enjoyed it. It's nothing new or terribly special, but I love these kind of crime/caper stories. It's also pretty obvious that Kirkman designed this to eventually become a television show. It has that feel to it. Art's decent. I like most of the characters, but I think Conrad's wife is written to shrill and his son is a straight up dumbass while he's basically infallible almost always. They had a really creepy bad guy in the third/fourth arc though.
Alright, next shall be... Deadly Class or Chew. Probably Chew.
I'm already reading Sex Criminals, Southern Bastards, and Wytches, so yeah, I'm not a total lost cause.

Just from the first arc I can tell this series is going to dive heavily into religion/mythicism in a way that Sandman didn't though. The way the basanos were introduced and written was so interesting.
Yo I thought New Avengers was going to be all fun and games with luke cage and thing and wolverine and shit having fun (I guess that was the previous volume lol) instead I get hickman being the most hickman he can be and a bunch of assholes being assholes and talking about killing worlds and mind wiping Cap.
OK, thanks
Bought the second McDuffy Run, but I really need the 4 Issue Mini that came before. Read the #1 some months ago and just loved it. To bad that it seems that it isnt avaiable anywhere...

Bat-Manga is awesome if for no other reason than having Lord Death Man.
Isn't Lord Death Man the villain in the first story of Batman Inc.?

Lord Death Man seems like a pretty baller villain.
Like, why don't they use him more often. He seems pretty scary. Like... Bats doesn't have to adhere to his one rule against him, and it wouldn't matter.

It happened after the Dark Reign event.
Daken cuts Frank up after Frank tried to kill Norman Osbourne, then Frank got stitched back up by the Universal Monsters to fight a psychotic German monster hunter.
FrankenCastle was great. I loved it. A lot of Punisher fans hated it though, cause it was too weird for them. I wish it went on for a while longer.
I need to re-read it. Seriously, it was a great fucking story, and Tony Moore did fantastic art on it. Good villain too.
happen to know the issues or series?

Remender run. 2009 series. Went 21 issues, at some point the title was renamed 'FrankenCastle'
Shit, I really need to re-read FrankenCastle now. It was legit amazing.
Found it. Either MU is lying or Remender only writes the actual Frankencastle part. Thank you
I really need to read all of (and I mean all, like I did with AvX) of Dark Reign one of these days. Civil War too
I need to get a cheap old ipad or something to read comics at home. The Note 4 is fine, especially for work, but I wouldnt mind something bigger for when I'm at home

I wish Civil War could just be ret conned out of existence
because it was something major that happened in a medium I love while I was in my block of ice and I want to read it, is that so strange?
Yeah, but its nine years since after the event ended and five after the the last big fallout out of Civil War went away, and still people act with a hate like it had happened yesterday.
This isnt like, for example, One More Day, which still influences the current books.
And still, without Civil War we wouldnt have got great stuff like Bucky Cap or Dark Reign.
hmmmmm
Civil War led to One More Day, sure they'd have found a way to do it anyway but serving that opportunity up on a platter can never be forgiven.
I think its pretty obivious that they planned OMD before Civil War and just connected it because they saw the opportunity.

OMD had one job, to get rid of Sins Past and editorial didn't allow it...
Technically Siege led to Avengers Academy
Avengers: The Initiative came out of Civil War

Civil War did to Tony what Identity Crisis did to Zatanna.
Is Hyperion supposed to be Superman? And wasn't that Sentry's gimmick?
Are these Avengers like Captain Universe, Smasher and Hyperion new characters and we're just pretending they existed or did I miss more than I thought?
...Is hickman just being hickman?

There are a couple of Supermen at Marvel http://moviepilot.com/posts/2014/02...look-alikes-1257844?lt_source=external,manual
And Captain Universe isnt exactly a character, its more a selfaware power that hops from character to character. Spider-Man was Captain Universe at some point and, for example, The Juggernaut, too.
That Batman #38 thread in the OT.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Can I hide out in here, ComicsGAF?
We always welcome newcomer!
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
Adam Kubert on Avengers, love me some Adam Kubert. And after a issue explaining Hyperion, a issue explaining this female Smasher and a issue explaining this new Captain Universe I conclude that hickman was just being hickman and dropping all this crazyness on us in the first issues with no explanation

It's the Batman Beyond Universe.
Batman the Animated Series
Superman the Animated Series
Justice League
Justice League Unlimited
Batman Beyond
Oh and Static Shock / Project Zeta, I believe.
Yeah, it's one of those that needs clarification, but I think you're right.

Batman Beyond is the future of the DCAU. Justice Lords spun out of the DCAU. We had an ongoing Batman Beyond less than a year ago. Seems silly to not acknowledge it.
It's a better universe than 90% on that list.
He is indeed. He shows up a couple of times in the series.
Captain Universe has been in the Marvel Universe for a loooooong time. Like before some of us were born. Smasher as you read is part of the Shiar Imperial Guard and like Captain Universe there's no sole Smasher. Hyperion is a super hero from an alternate universe that kind of resembles Superman other than looks.
But man, you weren't kidding. You must have ONLY been reading X-Men comics.
I was rolling during his first arc.

I know you've read most of Future's end, and I've only read 6 issues or so...but based on the presumed knowledge that Terry exists within the DCAU, is he trying to save the DCAU or the main universe? If he's trying to save the main universe isn't it pointless because those events never happened there?

Lol we generally couldn't give a single fuck about what the OT thinks about comics. We'll leave that one to NTGYK.
Here's the spoiler for that thread:
"Comics R dumb. I love Chris Pratt and Groot tho."
that douche that makes a lot of threads.
