I've got a boatload of Amazon credit, can anyone tell me if there's any detriment to merging my Amazon & Comixology accounts?

The big one that I know of is you can no longer use PayPal.

I haven't merged yet. I'm holding out until they force me. But I believe even merging you can't use the credit? They say you can't for gift cards. So....

Death of X is seriously the only ongoing X-Men title? WTF Marvel.

Death of X is four issues.

 

[squadr0n]

Death of X is four issues.

Oh WoW. Hope we get something after that is over.

 

[Ross61]

Even though it got buried inbetween the Marvel leaks, I'm very excited about that Vigilante miniseries. A nuanced superhero take on the real life issues that are taking place right now is what we need. Also like that that DC is testing the waters with these minis. Also GA and Suicide Squad editor Andy Khouri is teasing something on Twitter.

Chill, we'll likely get our Marvel NOW X-Books after Death of X wraps up.

And then hate every single one they announce.

Shhhh. We'll get to that part. Don't ruin it.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

And then take out our hatred on the Inhumans books.

And then hate every single one they announce.

And then take out our hatred on the Inhumans books.

And then the cycle begins anew. To sum up the X-Men's current status in media...

• Comics: More-or-less fine, we don't have much to fear on this front.
• Merchandise: Somewhat fucked, though Hasbro managed to fight back.
• Video Games: Basically fucked for anything made after Contest of Champions.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Why did they have to do Iron Fist like that though

 

[Neoxon]

What, did the writer do Iron Fist dirty in the past?

 

[Brianimaniac]

• Comics: More-or-less fine, we don't have much to fear on this front.

Except for the part where all the writers suck and they're just churning out stuff that will have to be retconned or side-stepped when they get some talent back.

Is this what post-Geoff Johns GL fans feel when Venditti got another run on the book

Remember, Venditti was suppose to be the chosen one.

 

[echoshifting]

Yeah. Wrote Iron Fist: The Living Weapon

That was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad book

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I don't think anyone liked his last Iron Fist series

 

[echoshifting]

I don't think anyone liked his last Iron Fist series

A couple here defended it when it was coming out but I didn't make a list

 

[Brianimaniac]

Living Weapon didn't start bad. But I just read one issue, so I don't know where it went from there.

I was more interested in the art anyway.

Hey JC, are we doing events?

Spider-Island is good

the rest are not

and whatever you do, do not ever ever ever read Maximum Carnage, the Clone Saga, or the Other

 

[PsychBat!]

Did Ed send you some of my stuff? I'm curious about what you think.

 

[Sandfox]

I kinda want to read that Iron Fist series on MU tonight to see what the fuss is about lol.

Man, I loved Maximum Carnage for the SNES.

I dont think I've seen anything, PM or email unless I missed it

 

[PsychBat!]

Man, I loved Maximum Carnage for the SNES.

It was a good game. Actually, it was crap. But I loved it. The music was awesome!

 

[echoshifting]

Genesis Maximum Carnage was way better than SNES, which one of us who had a Genesis has to mention every time it is brought up because that almost never happened

It sounds interesting. I wouldn't have thought they'd be able to revive Vigilante, but I'll give it a shot.

It's funny that Wild Dog and Vigilante are coming back to the spotlight. I wonder if they have plans for Manhunter or Checkmate as well. Marvel's bringing back Solo. All the minor/forgotten vigilantes are on their way back it seems (except for Scourge).

 

[ElNarez]

"adam hughes"

at some point it's just gonna be a collage of reference material with the script printed on the page like in that one issue of Marville

Huh, so strange. I guess I'll hold off too, thanks for the info.

I hope it's just a collection of Betty and Veronica pin ups.

Spider-Island was so good. I loved the intro to Rucka's Punisher run where Frank takes out some random criminals in Spidey suits, with his own disguise, and then says "It's Spider-Sense. Idiots."

 

[Einchy]

Who's the artist? Looks like Phil Noto but they don't have that female Noto face so it can't possibly be him.

It's Adam Hughes.. He signs his work "AH!"

Ah, I see, thanks.

I had seen his Catwoman stuff before but I didn't know who it was.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The ass shot is completely unnecessary but so Adam Hughes.

Was that Wild Dog in GA 2?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Don't you even start. You guys complain enough every time Cho draws something new. Hughes is one of the good ones.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I didn't even see Slapstick in all of that. Definitely giving that one a shot.

 

[Einchy]

I agree that that ass shot is bad, that booty needs to be larger.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I didn't even see Slapstick in all of that. Definitely giving that one a shot.

Might as well buy all six issues that come out before it gets cancelled.

 

[Serpentine]

Kaare Andrews getting another Iron Fist book pisses me the fuck off

I'm mad about Kaare Andrews doing Iron Fist again

It's got potential to be a surprise hit

I can feel it, guys. Trust me

 

[BrightLightLava]

So I finally finished The Clone Saga collection, right up to when Peter leaves town and Ben Reilly sticks around. I'd heard for years how this was the go to example for bad comics, so I was expecting the worst. But I have to say, the first 80% wasn't so bad. Very emo, very 90s, but not so bad. Then it got real real repetitive. Peter spent about 30 issues thinking about how dangerous being Spidey was, and considering leaving it to be with MJ and the baby. He chose being Spider-Man about 12 times before the editorial mandate kicked in. That point was almost as bad as people say, but all in all it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd thought it would be.

 

[Sandfox]

I was reading up on some stuff and I'm surprised that I didn't know that Pod was a LGBT character.

One of the issues is that the Clone Saga was over two years long.

 

[echoshifting]

One of the issues is that the Clone Saga was over two years long.

And it was all four Spidey books. So there was no escaping it. If you wanted to read Spider-Man you were reading the Clone Saga and that was it for literally years.

I didn't totally hate it when it started but I sure got burnt out on it, then I just resented the hell out of it for going on for so long after that.

And then the Green Goblin came out of nowhere to give us an anticlimactic ending lol

Yeah I checked back in for that just to see how it all ended and I wish I hadn't done that.
