I just read up on it since I haven't been paying attention to DC... isn't this just DC Secret Wars?

Sounds a little too much like it to not be related. Secret Wars is also a bonkers premise...and I will no doubt read parts of Convergence just like I will the new Secret Wars. I do like how in Convergence they might all get along really well and be happy neighbours.

That's my attitude towards most things in Marvel/DC that I'm not familiar with. Seems to work pretty well.

Yeah this is new news :/
Thats sad... I liked the first Issue.
Tom Brevort makes an great job with his Tumblr... You can think of that guy want you want, but he is answering questions in this Tumblr every day in his freetime. Great job to stay connected with the people and its always quite interesting to get more insight in the bussiness.
I didnt even knew that LCS Comicshops get money when you redeem Digital Copy Codes... So buying books on ebay isnt that evil at all.

Yeah, I liked that first issue of Storm as well. Shame to see it go away.

I really love Flash's.
Reverse-Flash is so badass.
Seconded

I suppose if you bought your codes from a guy who shops at your LCS it's okay. I can't really talk since CMX owns my soul. If only a comic store opened here.
That's a deeply silly thread, but it's not a Neoxon thread, so it gets a pass.

For Marvel I'd say Spider-Man has my favorite rogues gallery
X-Men has some good villains too
X-Men has some good villains too
X-Men by sheer number are bound to have a few good ones in there.
Mr. Sinister is one of the only decent ones excluding the obvious.

Spider-Man best villains

It's not just you, given that a lot of posts in those threads are calling him out on it. I'm starting to think he is Kevin Feige's gimmick account.
People can shit on the second Johns run all they want, and they're right to do so, but this was an awesome moment and something you could only really do with the Rogues:

After reading the April solicits, I'm going to be bummed when Steph Brown isn't Batgirl again and Cass Cain is still MIA and everything basically isn't pre new 52 
Spider-Man's the all time great, Flash is the best DC, as far as my money goes.
Yeah I'm not a fan of Geoff's second run at all but some of the moments with the rogues like that one were great.

Same thing with me with wally & his family coming back for that speed force issue.

Don't worry, it didn't really hold up beyond that issue
I heard that.
Yoooooooooo that Hellfire Saga arc on WATXM was so good. And Quentin is probably my favorite character on the book, I'm gonna miss him when it ends.
Also FINALLY some headway on to what the fuck those Bamfs are, I mean the cloaked blue guy has to be Nightcrawler so I'm hoping it will finally be explained soon since I see him on the cover of Amazing #1 which is from around this time period

Best arc of the series IMO.
Given that I'm feeling a ban coming, I'm trying to cut back on the threads. Most of my news will go either here or the MCU thread. If it's big enough (like a trailer release or whatnot), then it'll get its own thread.
And if I was a gimmick account, I wouldn't show my true face and I would have been found & banned a long time ago.
Probably my fave so far tbh, although those first 12 issues or so were amazing
Does anyone know anything about this X-Factor before it got rebooted into All New? I'm hearing random good things about it

The Peter David one? It's amazeballs. It's being released (slowly) in Ultimate / Complete Collection form. Two volumes are out so far.

Maybe you just have shitty taste in movies. It may behoove you to have someone else choose which films you watch.

It's a completely different tone from the regular xbooks, but it's definitely awesome. It has an amazing cast that is really well developed.
I watch sci-fi channel made for tv movies. They are usually bad. I had high hopes for Maze Runner but it was really heavy on the " this is a teen fiction book made into a movie, you should know better", similar to Divergent, and in the same way you could tell it's one of those trilogy series things.

Absolutely phenomenal series, PAD using his "take obscure characters and make you care about them" shtick to new heights.
And like that you have my attention.
Make a new thread about it, I'll give you the rundown on the series in there.
Very funny. I'm kinda at risk of being banned (or Junior'd, which I can't have given the OTs I'm in charge of), so that's a no-go.
Damn, dat praise, why did noone recomended it before then lol.
I assume it starts with X-Factor #200? Was looking on MU and there's a reboot that goes up to #50 and then the next is #200 which I assume they resumed the old numbering, and then it goes to #262 where it ends.
Wait but I'm noticing the #1-50 reboot is also written by Peter David...hmm now im confused

I think it starts with a Madrox mini
Ah so the 1-50 is part of it, I guess the switch to #200 was them going back to the old numbering for whatever reason. Damn so that's a fucking long run, 50+63+5 from the mini
You guys are killing me
Edit: cool, searched for Peter David on MU and saw that he wrote that star face captain marvel, I remember digging that series back in the day. He also wrote some shulkie (woot) and he writes all new x-factor which you all hate
