How can we forget about the abusive wife beater, Hank Pym.

The asshole tortured his wife with a swarm of ants and pesticide.

A group of monsters. Only Jan was likeable

Imagine an X-Men book, but instead of being about the shitty O5 and their quest for a payoff on whatever Bendis was thinking that one time or being shit or not living up to its very cool lineup, it's got good characters and it's good and also it looks good.

That's Astonishing X-Men.

Ha I can actually see what Benis was trying to do with the 05 and I think there was a story to be told in there, but they should have gone home at the end of the Bendis run, instead of hangng around taking story space from other xmen/school students.

Damn it, now I'm hyped to read it, why do I do this to myself, once your an x fan I guess your stuck with it through the lean years as well as the good.

Where is my image sale? My free month of MU is almost over, still ahead of where gwenpool would be on MU so I'm not that eager to drop $60 on a sub, not sure if I can while still subbed.

This cover makes so much sense now, Sharon just got added to it

I feel like Secret Empire has been going on forever. Maybe it's just Civil War II and Secret Empire have blurred together in my mind.

Sharon was late for this shot and is piss off.

Miles becoming the one who saved the world from Hydra will be incredible.

...as he's being arrested for murder. :3

Bishoujo Pinhead is happening!

Whaaaaat!?

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH KOTO-SENPAI HAS HEARD MY PRAYERS!

Captain Profile is definitely going to ruin that moment.

Yeah, no concept art, but it looks to be coming next year (apparently based on Hellraiser 3).

Here is the concept art for Ash in the meantime.

I feel like everyone gets a turn with X-Men. A lot of people here really enjoyed Bendis' run, especially early. And I hated it. I love this new stuff, though. I don't think it's simply a matter of quality in either case. It's what you want from an X-book. Having said that, I do think Generation X and Gold are objectively bad, while I enjoy Blue, Jean, and Bobby's books.

Is this what self-destructive behavior looks like? Is this a result of me getting punched in the face tonight? I'm not sure. That's future Aizo's problem now!

Dat backlog.

X-Men Blue is decent to good. Not feeling gold.

I knew I knew that costume from somewhere!

 

[Aizo]

Dat backlog.

That's not the worst part. The worst part is starting a bunch of series that I will now feel I need to continue. Luckily, I'm happy with not continuing any I don't like a lot.

Thats what always surprises me when I nowadays hear people here talking about that run...

 

[mreddie]

Isn't that Bendis, good start, shit finish?

 

[Unit24]

Reading the last few pages of this thread is reminding me why I've been enjoying indie comics so much lately.

On that note, I just finished Chew and it was great. I kind of wish I had gotten the omnivore editions instead of the volumes, but it's too late now.

 

[Messi]

I loved all of it and I would take it over all the shit after it. You all know you would too. He works with top notch artists and Kris Anka.

 

[mreddie]

I swear to fuck if anyone tells me to read Saga again, I'll throw one of Messi's figs at you

 

[GAMEPROFF]

You are blending Captaib Hydra and Secret Empire.


I dont expect it, but I would really love to get a Omnibus of that Run.

 

[Wanderer5]

You should read Saga again.:3

Throw one of the really nice ones at me!

 

[GAMEPROFF]

When are the Marvel Comic SDCC Panels?

 

[Messi]

You should read Saga or Ghuus will cut you.

WHAT THE FUCK DID I SAY

Take your best shot with the most expensive one. I sure Messi won't mind at all.

 

[Aizo]

WHAT THE FUCK DID I SAY

I'm confused. Have you read Saga yet?

Edit: Read Saga.

 

[La Maquinon]

Read the first issue of the ongoing Doom Patrol and... Liked it maybe? Same reaction I had to the first issue of Shade... What did I just read?

 

[Poodlestrike]

I swear to fuck if anyone tells me to read Saga again, I'll throw one of Messi's figs at you

Dude, you need to read Saga.

(Gimme a Batman, pls)

 

[AbundantChoice]

Oh nice, the BOGO DC code at CMX also appears to apply to the Wildstorm stuff they bought. WildCATS 3.0 definitely works, for example.

 

[TetraxShards]

Make it one of his POPs. I think I'd just about survive.

Keep going. It's great.

So how is Mother Panic? I-

“Teens who love gritty Batman Stories will find plenty to like in this latest Gotham City Vigilante…Violet’s bitterness, long-buried secrets, and tightrope walk between bravery and recklessness make this a nice fit for fans of Greg Rucka’s Batwoman: Elegy.” —BOOKLIST

Well that is a trigger lol.

The main character is bisexual. That's where the comparisons start and end.

It's not a bad book, but that comment is just LOL.

 

[my name is ed]

I haven't finished the first volume of Mother Panic but really liked the 3 issues I read. Most of it might be Tommy Lee Edwards art although I did like the writing to this point.

I actually read the first issue of the new doom patrol and wasnt really into it, but came back to it later on at the end of the first arc and read the other issues and I'm loving it now. Think the first issues just not the best entry point but once all the crazy story ideas start to make more sense and fit together theres some really cool ideas there. So yeah definitely stick with it if you can.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Read through the story arc. Everything is clear by the end. Try not to rush it. Doom Patrol requires you to re-read some panels.

Aren't triggers typically negative? You hated Elegy?

 

[RepairmanJack]

Not sure if this will help or hurt your desire to read on, but this run seems to heavily benefit from multiple reads. There's so many small details and forgettable flashes of characters that are completely forgotten but the main story of the first arc comes around with a lot of the small flashes being a big part going into the next issue. I'd say it all makes sense by the end, it's just hard to follow without rereading.

It's good. Not the best of the YA line (Doom Patrol and Shade), but it's a very 90s Vertigo styled book in Gotham. Worth checking out though.

Eh thought it can be positive too heh. No, I LOVE Elegy.
