In honor of our fallen brah Rafa, the 90s cover gimmick renaissance continues!

How far away are we for lithograph cards coming with the covers? Or how about some fucking metallic covers? (I kind of really like cover gimmicks).
Pretty sure one of the Age of Ultron covers was chromium, that's metallic.
Personally, I want a return of the Fatal Attractions hologram cards.

Dude, I had the raddest holo-Silver Surfer card from some comic I had as a kid. It looked like the surfer was trying to touch you.

Finished the second demon knights trade. This book was so fun.
Invincible 100 had a chromium cover brah.
The dream of the 90's is alive in comics.

That...is...fucking awesome.
For covers, though, I have to say that The Dark Angel Saga's conclusion with the polybagged comic made me super hyped when I walked in and saw it at my lcs.
Despite loving them, I'm also happy that the cover gimmicks aren't ubiquitous. Sometimes a simple, clean, well drawn/colored cover is perfect. Immediately, that Paolo Rivera Spidey cover comes to mind.

Still waiting for Wondie to show up in the future, considering she's practically immortal.
As a digital buyer gimmick covers don't impact me at all, but I can appreciate a good one. I just find it funny that they're coming back.

90s covers were wild, y'all! I still have all these (and many more) in my collection. BEST

No foil stamped Uncanny #300? For shame!

Barracuda needs another Max series. Show what he did prior to running into the Punisher and after he met Fury.... Like I want to see how he dealt with all those broken bones lol

Hey guys. I was wondering if you could offer me some recommendations for gritty, street-level crime books/characters. Along the same kind of lines as people like The Punisher, Rorschach and the Comedian and to some extent Red Hood. Vigilantes with sometimes brutal methods and minimal high powered or supernatural elements.

Wow, me too! Also, in hindsight, I bet they wish they numbered those differently. H-IV.... lololololol
I also have a complete set of the first Marvel Masterpieces series with all of the chase cards.
This is a trick, there isn't anything awesome about Chew.

Wasn't Captain Marvel already in the DCAU before Justice League Beyond?
GrandHarrier

He was. But Batman Beyond is the future of the DCAU. So this is Shazam in the future.
It's pretty awesome they're taking JLB seriously, expanding the cast and all that.

I feel there is a clever Karen gillian/ Kieron Gillian joke to make in this thread

I agree. It always felt weird how "small" the JLB felt at times. I could never tell if it was supposed to be just a representation of a "bleaker" future or not or simple lack of effort put into rounding out the league of the future.
Probably the latter. Odds are they weren't sure if they should put in the effort, cancellation being a popular option among DC's editorial staff.

Well that aside I was referring more to the cartoon; The JLB was only shown a few times with its smaller cast.
I think we can agree that with so many digital comic subscribers in this thread, everyone of them should checking out both Batman and Justice League Beyond.
The only excuse for not doing so is if you get the print version.

Really? Because shit, I used the Dark Horse app once and that was all it took for me to never do that again. It was soooo bad. Never again.
Haha that's great, will check it out.
I might be siding with you. Yesterday when i went to read the app for the first time in months it crashed every 10 or so seconds three times straight. Today i managed to read an issue though, but i shouldn't have to manage getting things to work XO
Also, Marvel Unlimited only updated with 15 comics this week and none of them mighty thor #21 O_______O
So after reading n52 JL and JLA, they keep refering to when MMH was on the JL. I remember a brief snippet of him fighting the rest of the JL in a previous issue...but it was very brief and presented as a memory.
Is there another issue out there somewhere that has a more detailed account of his time with the JL?
The whole run of JL so far has felt very brief and forced honestly.

No. All we know is there was a 5 year gap between the first JL arc and the rest of the series (although the way it's written doesn't seem that way). So we just have to assume Martian Manhunter spent time with the league between that time period. I haven't read Stormwatch which MMH was heavily involved in in the beginning so maybe that comic explains more?
I bought the first three volumes when they went on sale last weekend. Im enjoying it but honestly feel it's a bit overhyped in this thread. Half way through Vol. 3 it got a bit stupid (I think it was Vol 3. #4 I really didnt like):
Just felt odd to have the kids talking shit back to these shadows and not be afraid at all (although we know why the sister is not afraid) and then out of nowhere Ty is huge as fuck and fighting a huge shadow dog.
got so big
Gonna wait before I get the rest of the volumes...feel kinda burnt out on it.
Thats what I was thinking, but I really dont want to read Stormwatch.

First few issues were written by Paul Cornell, read those at least.
I know this isn't talking about the current topics at hand but there's one thing that always bothered me about Wolverine that never seems to be brought up. How can he bend his wrists without his claws completely destroying his upper arm? They're not collapsible due to the adamatium and the only way his retractable claws could even work is if they were 3 to 4 inches and they're clearly twice that length. What's the deal?
GrandHarrier

Science. If not science, magic.
Maybe they retract back into his arm, and there's a hinged part that corresponds to his wrist somewhere in there. Although that doesn't really make sense either. Doesn't he have bone claws or something anyway? Would have been a problem way before the adamantium went in.
