COMICS! |OT| January 2015. So many variants you'd swear it's 1995 instead.

Yeah so rereading a bunch of this 90s X-Men/X-whatever stuff that I haven't read about since it was new when I thought it was cool...
X-Men and all offshoots have to have aged the worse of any Marvel teams. Maybe it was because it was the hip thing back then but a lot of this has been, 'yeah I used to think that dude was cool.... Not anymore!' Cable lame as fuck to this very day.

Sweet fucking Jesus the Punisher sameface never goes away.
I nearly spit out my drink opening the new page. This is the most Steve Dillon face ever
The "Wolverine" effect
So Steve Rogers is Captain America again already?
Nah, I always thought Wolverine was lame. It's only worse now because a bunch of writers want him to be their avatar and fuck every single attractive female or something.

Are there any worthwhile marvel unlimited promo codes valid atm? I'm looking more towards monthly promos. I don't want to do any kind of annual membership, because my desire to read and catch up on various comic series comes and goes. An annual membership would feel like a waste of money.
That actually looks pretty un-Dillon for Dillon to me. Maybe it's his inker or colorist or something. I actually had to look at the signature on that one to see who it was.
lol, I was actually looking for this pic.

not as many black people as you think, unfortunately
Finished the first book of the strangers in paradise omnibus. It made me cry. Can't believe this is only half way done.
Such good stuff.
Also, how good was that very last issue in the first book focused on Freddie with all the pseudo-Sunday-morning-comics style stuff? I loved that.
Yeah, same here.
And I want to like him since he drives a Porsche, but he is a total dick. A hilarious one though.
On a related note, Terry Moore does draw a pretty good 90s Porsche 911.
Terry Moores art is stunning throughout.
I've been reading the new Nova book on Marvel Unlimited, and it's not half bad at all. The first couple arcs were hit or miss, but once Gerry Duggan took over it really improved quite a bit. I just finished the arc with Beta Ray Bill, that especially was a lot of fun. What I wouldn't give for a BRB monthly book...
Yeah, that too. His facial expressions are seriously unmatched.

Tomorrow is the day the highest selling comic of all time will be released. I'm personally buying at least ten copies of Star Wars #1 to pay my way through grad school. After tomorrow the world will be remembered as the time before Star Wars returned and the time after.

It's not my fault. At least with Amazon I'm getting shit I actually need. IST I always have to do $50+ purchases of exclusively comics. IT'S NOT MY FAULT.
Also I've really been needing to finally catch up on SiP. Always get distracted and have been super busy since classes started. I'll bask in the glory of that thread eventually.
You don't need $50+ purchases of exclusively comics? What kind of life are you living?
But for real, I just wait until there's $50+ of comics that I really want and then I order from IST. It's the only way to buy comics.
And I can't wait to hear what you think of all the SiP reading you'll be catching up on!

I'm about a third of the way through book 2. I plow through a bunch every few days. I take a few days off between, though, because that book is an emotional rollercoaster.

I could have told you that just from watching the trailer. I barely made it through the first Scorpion King.

They made four of those?
I didn't know there was a 4.
There is totally a 4.

No, Tom Brevoort clarified in an interview that the art isn't clear- it's still old Steve.

You know how many of them are good? 0.
The first one was kinda....sorta...it had The Rock!
Wait, the sequels didn't even bother starring The Rock? I thought he was the whole point of the series.

I saw Lou Ferrigno at SDCC several years ago. He was trying to make a call on his cell phone outside the convention center and I believe a bunch of people were trying to take his picture lol

Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
Man, I always feel so bad for Lou Ferrigno whenever he's brought up because of the head-fuckerry Schwarzenegger put him through in the 70s.

That cast seems to be a step up from Scorpion King 2 with Randy Couture, but a step down from Scorpion King 3 with Dave Batista
but you hate everything right
how do i know this isn't actually a hidden gem

Ellen Hollman appears to be playing the exact same character she did in Spartacus.
I've only seen Ferrigno a few times..but I got to see him catch the big scaffold/curtain thing from falling on top of the autographing area at NYCC. His general area always seems to be surrounded by dudes making snide comments about him only coming for the money.
Sentinel (2003) #1-12 was shockingly decent. It started off as a bland if inoffensive teen finds robot story but it turns into a nice little Iron Giant-lite almost homage. The faux-anime art was pretty bad but the sentinel itself basically looks like the Marvel vs Capcom design so that's pretty badass. Actually curious about reading the (shorter) 2006 run now, and their stuff in Avengers Acedemy, whenever they join

Doom Patrol is some legit shit. Got the omnibus for Christmas and have been reading through it. This is such a good comic, everybody should try and read this at some point.

Yeah Doom Patrol is the GOAT. It was such an amazing series and I'm glad I picked up the omni around the time it came out.
Definitely check out the Flex Mentallo mini-series too. It's awesome.
I'm not sure what to expect tomorrow at my LCS with Star Wars #1. I had talked with the owner to see what he's seen and what his customers are saying, and he says the hype is there but just doesn't know how huge of a turnout there will be when the doors open. Here's hoping I can grab a copy and maybe a variant.
If no one gets to you before I do, you can have my code.

Man reading this ooooooooold ass Deadpool book, drawn by Joe Mad, I don't know if it's the early 90s coloring or the lack of hard black lines, but the art looks completely different from like his x-men days later on for example. Guess it can just be he anime-fied his style more and more over the years, but if I didn't know this was him I wouldn't guess it

They don't have the film, theme park, and (i think) merchandising rights
