I think you read more in the last few months than I did throughout all of last year

I have some cool books on my shelf though.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Todays reason for Messi to read the Legion: Ra's al Ghul. The nigh immortal villain survives a thousand years into the future and becomes the President / Dictator of the United Planets. This does not bode well for them.

Does he change gender in the meantime?

Gotta go to Batman Beyond for that twist.

That ain't no lady

The most wanted female criminal in the history of the universe. Guilty of every crime.

 

[Messi]

This made me laugh out loud.

The most wanted female criminal in the history of the universe. Guilty of every crime.

EVERY CRIME? That's a big claim and I let implies some nasty stuff.

 

[GrandHarrier]

EVERY CRIME? That's a big claim and I let implies some nasty stuff.

Every. Crime.

Emerald Empress is actually a fascinatingly tragic character. You eventually discover that she had been controlled by the Eye the entire time. A waking nightmare where she was conscious of everything that is happening, everything she wqse doing, but have absolutely no control over her actions.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Every. Crime.

I wonder how she went whaling in Oklahoma.

 

[GrandHarrier]

I wonder how she went whaling in Oklahoma.

Through the power of the Eye of Ekron. Dredged a canal through the continental United States and then transported whales to the newly created inland sea.

Obviously, duh.

Bought the Humble Archie Comics Bundle. I have so many comix in PDF and on Comixology that I feel a great need of getting an iPad Air 2 :|

 

[Messi]

That costume is pretty questionable. Not Angela bad but still...

 

[GAMEPROFF]

She looks like Madame Hydra

 

[GrandHarrier]

Better?

She looks like Madame Hydra

Otherway around. Emerald Empress predates Madame Hydra by a couple years.

 

[Cheska]

Do you guys think that with Secret Wars, we may have two Jean Greys in the ongoing continuity?

 

[GrandHarrier]

I'd put money on young X-Men being a permanent thing one way or another (assuming they aren't folded into Inhumans). I don't see them bringing old Jean back. Not to stay anyways.

I want this to be real.

Or this way around, yeah

That's about 3 Jean Greys too many for me. 2 Emmas though? I'm in.

This is the digital equivalent of filling up your long boxes, isn't it?

Jean Grey / Emma psychic relationship. The love triangle has a shocking reversal!

 

[Messi]

If young Jean goes away I will be heartbroken.

 

[Zombine]

I won't be happy until there are 6 or more permanent Jeans.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I'd love to see a new ongoing by Kathryn Immonen and LaFuente:
A Pair Of Jeans

 

[Fintan]

It might be the very detailed storytelling or just a bad memory, but in the time between reading my first Hickman FF Omnibus and the arrival of my second Hickman FF Omnibus, I seem to have forgotten a lot of what happened. It's slowly coming back to me as I read through it, but I was very confused at first!

 

[Memento Mori]

I've been reading Supergods recently and it inspired me to finally pick up Morrison's Doom Patrol run. The omnibus has just arrived and my tiny arms can barely lift it.

 

[Messi]

I'd love to see a new ongoing by Kathryn Immonen and LaFuente:
A Pair Of Jeans

I would buy this in a heartbeat.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I would buy this in a heartbeat.

I couldn't resist tweeting it. LaFuente's on board already.

 

[Messi]

I couldn't resist tweeting it. LaFuente's on board already.

I'm sure we could get Joe Quinones on cover duties.

 

[tim1138]

I'll buy it only if they use that title.

 

[tim1138]

Battleworld Carol Corps? I'm in.

The second surprise out of Marvel's new information is that of Hala Field. Previously we thought this would focus on the Kree side of things given their homeworld is named Hala, but this new information says it's the base of Captain Marvel and militarized Carol Corp who is an "interstellar defense team" in the Secret Wars reality. The name "Hala Field" would then seem to pull from Captain Marvel's powers being Kree in origin, with "Field" being an "air field" of sorts such as in air force operations.

 

[Mistouze]

All these Secret Wars announcement are cool and all but without the creative teams... can't get hyped.

 

[TetraxShards]

OMG, sillymonkey's new avatar. Ed, you legend. *bow*

 

[Owzers]

All these Secret Wars announcement are cool and all but without the creative teams... can't get hyped.

I'm skeptical when any big initiative is announced by the book and not the team, as if the project is more important than who is creating it. I can understand those initial hype teases not having teams when it wasn't clear that all those weirdo covers were actually for Battleworld books, but they shouldn't have continued that.

I'm not sure what i'll buy of Secret Wars in the floppy fashion, but all these tie-ins seem like perfect Marvel Unlimited reading.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Guys I don't get the name. Why is it called Secret Wars. What is secret about it?

 

[Messi]

Why is

Spoiler

Doop in the background

in the most recent Uncanny X-Men issue Looool.

Here's the secret:

 

[tim1138]

If no one is going to give me a good GL or GLC book, I'll take what I can get from the Carol Corps book.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Did you actually read GL or GLC post Johns?

 

[Filthy Slug]

That's how I feel about Flash, but there's no real alternative.

 

[Owzers]

Here's the secret:

Hey! Spoilers! That's the gif we will use after we buy 9 issues of jumbled plots that only serve as an introduction to the tie-ins, not before.

 

[tim1138]

Did you actually read GL or GLC post Johns?

Yep, I got the trades through Green Lantern Turn Out the Lights from the library and thought it was awful.

 

[Zombine]

Here's the secret:

You just saved everyone so much heartache and money.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

A lot of people are going to be disappointed to see that there will be less ongoings published during Scret Wars and most will just be tie ins instead.

Isn't everything a tie in?

I expect USPS staff to file a class action lawsuit against this thread once IST has the Omnibuses up for order.

Bucky Barnes The Winter Soldier has been a huge misfire. Hope it's a casualty of Secret Wars.

Hate to break it to you bro, they have big plans for him in the movies, so he'll be front and center as a core member of the Avengers.
