Autsch .... as we say in German.

I love the idea to revisit the first days of the heroes and get some universe building done. But this is messed up. Snyder told us he wanted to tell a self-contained story with Capullo and not have to focus on too many moving parts.

I'm assuming the tie-ins are going to be even less related to Snyder's story and more skippable than the Night of Owl ones were.

JL3K interview, sorry Harrier no Legion ties at all. Book sounds great though!

Welp. They basically tell Legion fans to go fuck themselves. I think I have to not support it on principal now.

If I need a guy who can throw fireballs around, you can guarantee it's not going to be Sun Boy. Let's think of somebody new. I'm tired of treading old ground.

You drop everything to do with the Avengers?

My List:
Avengers 14
Cable and X-Force 10
New Avengers 7
Uncanny Avengers 9

- 4Chan saved me $4 on Age of Ultron 10.
- I was previously reading Indestructible Hulk, but I haven't been feeling it, so I think I'm done.

Yeah, Giffen and Maguire need to pay their dues and prove themselves as creators before they run their mouths off like that and expect to me to support a book by them.

Hold on, my phone is ringing for some reason....

So, serious question. There have been alot of complaints about crossovers and events. Do people who have issues with them actually practice what they preach? Have they avoided stuff like the trainwreck of lol that was Age of Ultron and the AU stories?

I mean, I operate from a pull list. So this means I tend to get that comic irregardless of what it is. If a book I don't get has an event/crossover that interests me I get it for those issues, then drop off (unless the book intrigues me). I don't plan to leave holes in my collection so even if an event is "bad" I'll weather it like any other bad issue.

I didnt pull any of AoU. I had zero excitement for that book from the start.

Batman is about to get dropped too. I was going to last week but the guy at the shop was like "dude this issue is so good, its Batman meets Mad Max!!". And i was like ok i'll check it out.

4 Pages into the issue I was like sweet! Dirt bike crossbow apocalyptic bats! Then I turned the next page and realized I probably wouldn't see that for 9 months and would have tons of family bullshit to deal with. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

comixology updated their reader so the landscape view fits the width now XP, good update.

up to issue #25 now of Morning Glories, i'm only 75% lost! That 25% is great reading though. Issue #26, yep, i don't even know what i'm reading anymore. It's been forever since i've payed attention to this character.

Is Cable and his Brahs better or worse than Uncanny Brahs? I want to try one of them.


Also just ordered X-Men Legacy Vol. 1+2. Don't let me down.

I think that it's one of those YMMV decisions, but I am enjoying Cable's X-Force more than the Uncanny version. The book has a good sense of humor and an interesting enough premise. Forge and Dr. Nemesis work really well together.

EDIT: Also, Uncanny X-Force is going the decompressed story telling route, while C+XF has been focusing on 1-3 issue mini arcs within the larger narrative.

Son of Darkseid, I believe.



Red Lanterns got caught up in all the Lantern Crossovers; That may be in part why it managed to stay a consistent seller (but it sold well before those too, so who knows). It never really had a chance to develop itself. The next couple moves are going to be interesting to see if it can find an identity; The return of Guy is going to be a great start. He may be a hot head but I think he'll bring some mellowing balance to the group that will allow for some more character growth. Or maybe he'll just add to the general eff-ing-stuff-up, who knows.

An aside; Bleez is sort of Atrocitus' Starscream, now that I think about it, isn't she?
Click to expand...

I think what helps Red Lanterns has been the fact that the story moves along at a semi brisk pace. It doesn't hint at things and then linger around a barely there story and finally give a pay off 12 issues later. It's one of DC's faster moving titles story wise and I think it's better off for it.

I've said before but I think that's what's hurting Vibe, the story is moving too damn slow. Give us a crazy ass pay off already, get people to go ohh shit what happened let me check it out, before it's 14 issues in and you cancel it.

yea skipped AoU, all the A v X stuff except whatever bled into the X-mens I was already buying. Skipped all the Avengers events since whatever the Last one Busiek was around for so thats been most Marvel events. I still want to get Annhilation though. I did buy everything from Blackest Night... I don't do all of them. I end up with a lot of the Bat and X-men stuff since I get a lot of that anyway I don't have a problem with whatever this is though. I think I'm more tolerant of the Dc crossovers but I always liked way back when they'd just do it for a month even if they were blah like Final Night, Zero hour, That one with the neon green on everything, whatever the Darkseid onewas too. I think Dc 1 million was all in a month? I liked that one

I'm bothered by the 4x ship villain month cover gimmick screwjob though

Hey guys, outside of All-Star Superman and Superman: Brainiac (Geoff Johns), my Superman reading has been limited at best. With the release of Man of Steel and Superman Unchained, I'm keen to check out what Comixology's sale has to offer but I don't know where to start. Can I have some recommendations please?

Having digested it all a bit longer, I'm fairly certain that AoU is the worst thing Bendis has written for Marvel, and is easily the worst major Marvel Universe event of the post-Jemas era. Yes, worse than Fear Itself. Only Ultimatum keeps me from labeling it the worst event of that decade, period.

You aren't wrong. I think part of that is due to him having to rewrite it, but it sure as hell doesn't excuse Cap sitting on his ass for five issues then sidelining him for Logan.

Come on brah. Hawekey raiding that crackhouse instead of showing Ultron taking over the world was the greatest opening to a comic ever. A true character moment, that even at the end of the world, people still succumb to person demons and can be more destructive than the ones outside.

You'll be happy to know Rafa that Ultron is actually in issue 10 for a few pages.
