So good

So good

The best tbh.

The best layout in last issue was the grappling hook sequence, with the cape and the panels themselves lookin' like the wings of a scarab opening up

 

[akira28]

And what the fuck? Is Captain America pulling a Batman? "You can enter my mind, but you won't like what you find." Lol, what?

remember he spent multiple eternities trapped in time, trying to fight his way back to the present?

how he went "sorta crazy", etc? I always thought that would be forshadowing something else, but I guess he has dealt with his psychological trauma

 

[Acid08]

Oh man Black Beetle art. I don't think I properly conveyed how excited I am for Francavilla to be doing Hawkguy. I mean holy fuck.

 

[KidGalactus]

She's gone, Satch. She's gone to the same dark place as Wally West, Stephanie Brown, Ted Kord, Atlee, Lian Harper, Waller's rolls of fat, Harley's self-respect and my favorite ship, and like them she isn't coming back.

And even if she does come back, it's still the New 52; they'll make her, I dunno, Ares's rape baby or something.

Be glad for her, for she is safe and in good company.

Don't forget the True Billy Batson and Plastic Man.

I love that, comes out of fucking nowhere.

I realize why I like the black beetles design. It reminds me of the 70s character skull man

The spread after this was just jaw dropping. das gud comics.

That's amazing.

 

[akira28]

So this must be Deaths Head after all that craziness in the Transformers universe, because I don't remember him being 30 feet tall when I used to read about him and Dragons Claws, growing up.

 

[Keasar]

There, have read all Fear Agent volumes available on the Dark Horse app and waiting for the next one and I am 33 issues into Invincible. Gonna wait and see if the 100th issue release on Comixology brings a sale like The Walking Dead did.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Bought and read through Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe since it's on sale at Comixology. I kinda regret buying it now, comic full of cop-outs and off-screen kills. Feels like 5 pages on killing off no-brainers like Banner and Susan Storm, while Doom, Cap and Iron Man just suddenly lay around dead in the background.
The story itself is trashy as expected though, but severely lacking on the needed jokes.

 

[LiQuid!]

Just read Thanos Quest, which I think might have technically been my first cosmic Marvel ever. It was pretty silly but I guess it was kind of fun. The tear shed on the final page made me laugh.

Infinity Gauntlet soon.

 

[BlueScrote]

From what I have gathered reading stuff in this thread, Marvel isn't nearly as much of a piece of shit as DC is when it comes to editorial.

DC Editorial is just a hot mess right now.

Tangent:

I legitimately feel bad for Emma despite her somewhat questionable actions during the whole Phoenix Five thing, I mean I think it's clear Emma more than anyone else in that group loves kids and just wants to teach. Unfortunately this chick just makes horrible decisions (most of them she does to protect children). And unfortunately she hasn't been able to shed her more manipulative and guarded nature. I guess that's to be expect after what's she's gone through growing up. She's one of my more favorite characters in comic books as a result.

Emma has had a nice arc the past decade. I feel like she would fit right in at the Jean Grey School if it wasn't for Scott.

Wolverine used to have the poison touch too. He still can't maintain a relationship for shit. And it seems all the ex lovers of his that are still alive want him dead for the most part. Actually he still has the poison touch. Its just that kitty and jubes are immune

I think it's just Wolverine's characterization lends himself very well to the mentor role.

 

[WanderingWind]

I think he means that one time Wolverine was watching Cyclops and Emma sleeping in the first Astonishing X-Men. It was more Logan being pissed off then him being a perv.

Yeah, this is what i was rant...talking about. If you stand on somebody's bed post and just stare at them in the middle of the night, you're perv. I don't care how mad you are....heh.

 

[TheKaeptain]

yeah if this is "star wars" then The Will will eventually be Han Solo-ish

and it's going be super rad

You know I was joking about the bros thing but now I want it.

 

[Mac the KNife]

What's in the box? What's in the box???

X-Men Omnibus. "Homework".

 

[Rastafarian42]

I lol'ed when that happened in 16.

 

[Anticitizen One]

When does Justice League #16 come out? I dont see it on the solicitations but DC is hyping it on Facebook and Newsarama as if it came out this week

 

[Dysun]

JL 16 is out this upcoming week

 

[my name is ed]

What's in the box? What's in the box???

And where the hell did this Marquez guy come from? He's phenomenal.

He was on Ultimate Comics Spider-Man for a while. He also did FF: Season One. He had some good stuff published under Archaia too

 

[Tizoc]

So what did you guys think of Saga #9?

 

[Dance Inferno]

I got wrist surgery yesterday and since I can't play games (or do much of anything really) I've been spending all day yesterday and today catching up on the comics that have come out since I dropped the hobby back in July of last year. Been working through the DC library and I'm going through the #0 issues now. Is it just me or do most of these suck? There were a few good ones though, like Green Lantern and Wonder Woman. I also much preferred Romano Molenaar on Birds of Prey #0; his art fits the book much more than Travel Foreman's did after they switched Jesus Saiz off. Is Molenaar the new permanent artist on this book?

Also are there any new titles that came out in the second half of last year that I should look out for? I remember picking up Captain Marvel #1 and being floored by the art/coloring. Has it held up well? And how has Marvel Now turned out? Are Winter Soldier and Daredevil still the cat's pyjamas?

Sorry for all the questions but I feel like a ton of stuff has passed me by and I'm trying to get my bearings again.

Daredevil is still good. You'll probably also get about 5 recommendations for Hawkeye, which was one of better surprises of late 2012.

The best Marvel Now! book so far is Thor by Jason Aaron. Runners up for me are Captain America by Rick Remender and New Avengers by Jonathan Hickman. Some people in this thread have been complaining about the slow starts in the Hickman Avengers books though (which is a fair criticism. Hickman is doing a lot of setup).

All-New X-Men is also surprisingly good. It ships like 8 times a month though if you are on a budget.

 

[Acid08]

So what did you guys think of Saga #9?

Amazing. Plot lines are converging.

Black Beetle, Batman, and Saga are the indisputable comics of the week.

Winter Soldier is still the bee's knees. Brubaker and Guice's next issue (14?) is gonna be the last one they're on tho. New writer/artist team coming but it's probably not gonna be as good.

Oh cool, I'll give Hawkeye a shot (heh, pun). I'll check out those Now books you recommend as well. Is Secret Avengers still ongoing? Does it still have Breitweiser as the colorist? I love her work.

Nooooo that sucks! I loved Brubaker/Guice on that. Where are they moving to?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Brubaker isn't doing superhero books anymore, from what I hear. Guice is drawing an issue of Thor: God of Thunder before Ribic does the next story arc

Yeah, Bru is done with Marvel for the time being.

Does it still have Breitweiser as the colorist? I love her work.

I don't think so. She left when Hardman left. Really like her work too but she's only doing Winter Soldier right now and I'm not even sure if she's staying on the book after Guice leaves. She's gonna start working on Fatale with Brubaker and Phillips soon (taking over Dave Stewart) which should be interesting.

There's a lot of great stuff in MarvelNOW. Captain Marvel recently got a new artist, not as good, but it's not Greg Land either.

This new guy just can't draw faces. The facial features look like they are being sucked through a black hole at the chin. Dino's looked cool though.

 

[Freezasaurus]

So what did you guys think of Saga #9?

Loved it, just like every other issue of the series. It's really something special.
