COMICS!!! |OT| January 2017 This is the Dawning of the Age of Apocalypse

I was so blown away by the Lego movie when I saw it recently. Biggest surprise and most creative movie I saw last year.
Also pretty funny that I felt like it has to be the biggest sellout ever when I heard of it first.

Cant wait for Lego Batman, too!

Still haven't seen the lego movie yet. I should probably do that sometime soon.

Did you also get The Old Hunters DLC? You haven't finished Bloodborne until you've beaten that, too.

RIP

Which reminds me I haven't beaten the final guy in the dlc. Yet I did complete the chalice dungeons. Priorities and all....

The DnA Guardians omnibus has been on my radar for a while now. Is it worth jumping in blind, or would I need to read some other cosmic stuff first?



That's a real shame. It was a good concept too, far and away from the usual heroes vs. heroes.

It's set up by Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest, which served to unify the team and reintroduce them to modern audiences. You'll still get a great series, it just won't be 100% complete from start to finish.

Sad about this. Is Lemire on anything at Marvel after this? Will he run the post SE Avengers book maybe?

Moon Knight
Thanos


Gwenpool: The issue is a wave of feels and Gwen trying to make a mark on the MU
Riri: FINALLY, Ironheart. Still talking no action but this issue fills in the gaps of Stark Tech post CW2.
 
I have the GOTY edition, when I slaughtered the martyrer and found a way to get past the Winter Lantern on the nightmare frontline, the Hunters Nightmare is my next goal.

Make sure you get a Whirligig saw and upgrade it to max. That thing is fucking amazing.

Last story boss or the optional one? If the latter, Laurence is kind of a pain in the ass. It took me quite a few tries before I finally got him.Whirligig da best option.

Isnt Lemire writing Darth Maul?

I am specialised on the Saw Spear, but I think I saw the whirligig saw on a NPC and loved it. I play very defensiv with much emphesis on rolling around and keep some distance and I think that is a weapon That would fit my playstyle - Need to try it out!

Always forget those. Thanos feels like a book that will run 12-18 issues and then end during a event.

It's not suited to every situation, but it's definitely extremely useful in some situations. It even has a function where you hold L2 (or is it R2, don't remember) and you can move forward slowly with the saw constantly spinning.

The Pizza Cutter function :D

Bloodborne is an amazing game and I never thought I would feel so deep in love with a Soulslike. Cant wait for Nioh and I hope the Dark Soul Trilogy is still happening.

You know, I ended up liking Bloodborne a lot more than the Souls games. Having played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1-3, I can say I enjoyed Bloodborne more than any of the others. The speed and focus on offense instead of defense makes it into much more of an action game than it would otherwise be.

Really looking forward to Nioh as well. Did you play the Alpha and Beta demos at all?

Played the Alpha, but I sucked horrible. I just started the Downlod for the Last Chance Beta and will try it again this weekend. I remember Nioh beeing much lighter and faster as even Bloodborne, but I will see how I will end up since I have now way more experience

It has a learning curve. You'll suck bad if you haven't played it for a while. It's important to hang around the starting area early on and just grind EXP and weapons before you really start trying to progress.

Will do! Is coop avaiable for the beta? If yes, we can maybe play a session if we find time

Story boss, Laurence was a bitch, never again. I only fought him so I could get the Beast thingy.

Pete Carroll Owns Me
His dogs have finally taken over?

Maybe he shouldn't have backstabbed me earlier in the week for something I can't remember.

I defended the new class of Deadly Class.

And if either dog were going to do something like that it would definitely be Circe. She might be evil.

15 ISSUES OF PROTECTING THE 616 BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY STARTING WITH KILLING NAMOR AND PROMISING TO FOLLOW UP ON IT ONLY...

-To fight with the Uncanny Avengers
-Trapped in Weirdworld
-Talk to the Inhumans
-Find out Warrior Woman is a fake and the real one had her powers stolen
-Fight with each other
-Get stranded months ago with Namor and bring him back
-Fight with SHIELD only to fight Nighthawk
-Disband team after realize they did nothing
-Have Jim Hammond do shit because James LOVES Hammond.

Meanwhile, 3 TEAMS OF AVENGERS, THE ULTIMATES, FUCKING AIM AND EVEN THE THUNDERBOLTS DID MORE THAN THIS TEAM AND THE THUNDERBOLTS ARE JUST BABYSITTERS!

James Robinson SUCCCKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSS

Fucking Scarlet Witch did more plot advancement than this shit.

The fact Spectum ends up the Inhumans and Blur ends up with SHIELD is tragic irony. Also setting up Nighthawk and Hyperions solo which were in varying degrees of success.

Can't say I disagree. This book was a mess from start to finish- and seemed weirdly disconnected from the rest of the marvel universe.

Speaking of which- is this the only book to remember weirdworld exists? That concept seems to have been dropped pretty damned fast.

It's the Authority problem. Great on their own in their own universe where they can go wild. In the confines of the status quo? Hard sell.
 
Dr. Aphra might be my favorite ongoing right now. Today's issue solidified everything I wanted this book to be and were only 3 issues in. Longer if you count her story starting in Vader.

So after giving up on Arrow in the middle of episode 4, I decided to go back and am in the middle of episode 7.

"Ollie acts weird"
"Ollie isn't like the Ollie I used to know"
"We used to do things, Oliver!"
"What happened to you, Oliver?"

I mean holy fuck, the dude has been stranded on an island fighting for his life for five years and absolutely NO ONE expected he wouldn't be the same when he came back?
 
So I'm hearing that Marvel is planning on making some big changes post "Secret Empire?" Any details?

lol, Arrow is a pretty dumb show but S2 is damn good imo. Have you watched Flash? S1 is literally the best superhero thing on TV in the last few years. After that not so much though.

Where did you hear that?

Also, season 1 of Arrow is the best.

. Like Marvel is going to start double shipping stuff like X-Men and dropping some titles to $2.99. Maybe just people hoping Marvel follows more DC practices?

Also related but is Marvel planning to include the same code for crap like CWII in multiple books? So like if I picked up two different issues on a day both would have a code for the same issue?

I think it's going to happen this year, but we don't have any actual information.
 
I dunno, Midnighter has been pretty rad, and he's been getting new fans.

Midnighter alone beats people up.

The Authority vastly changes the balance of power in the world they live in.

Nighthawk alone is cool. The Squadron Supreme in the Marvel Universe doesn't work because there are like four Avengers teams they'd be fighting if they fully committed to their mission.
