Dark Sword, The General of the Stars. Sounds like an old sci-fi comic.

Grey Wizard the Mercenary of Metropolis.

I can roll with Grey Wizard.

When is DC going to make their answer to Marvel Unlimited?

I'm dying waiting here.

You'll be dead before it happens.

edit: Jurassic World trailers will not hype me, you had your chance movie.

Wonder if it would include vertigo or if that would be a premium.

Would be too good of a deal with vertigo to pass up at $10 a month.

 

[Rhaknar]

X-Factor #13 where they all talk to a shrink (Doc Samson, starting to become one of my favorite recurring character in several books) was so well written and smart. Also Pietro is a huge asshole during this lol (more so than usual)

 

[Coriolanus]

Still the only decent use of Doc Samson.

Trying to find out what happened in his latest apparitions, ran into this

When Red Hulk and Doctor Strange traveled to the Monster Metropolis and enlisted the help of the Legion of Monsters, they discover that the spirit that has been haunting Red Hulk is the insane evil side of Doc Samson (referred to as Dark Samson) which hasn't passed into the next life. Using a ghost entrapment device, Red Hulk and the Legion of Monsters were able destroy the Dark Samson spirit by ripping the Dark Samson spirit in half. Red Hulk and the Legion of Monsters did a toast to honor Doc Samson after that.

#comics.

I loved him in Thunderbolts when he went to see SpeedballPenance

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Mad Max is this week. I expect it to be the next Dredd.

 

[Discotheque]

Mad Max is this week. I expect it to be the next Dredd.

i'm prolly gonna pick up the trade that releases in september that backstories these characters.

miller has put so much into it, and honestly aside from it looking like the most refreshing action movie in years it looks...beautiful. like on par with those well shot dramas you often get (one or two a year). blockbuster art or something lol.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Mad Max is this week. I expect it to be the next Dredd.

Financial failure, cult success? I could believe that. Though some bits of the trailer look soooo fucking cheesy.

 

[Future Foundation]

Grey Wizard the Mercenary of Metropolis.

I can roll with Grey Wizard.

It feels like our names got mixed up. Dark Sword works a lot better with "Mercenary of Metropolis".

 

[Coriolanus]

Mad Max is this week. I expect it to be the next Dredd.

Unlikely. Far more advertising/budget and Mad Max has a history of Not Being Horrible.


Plus it has had at least one absolutely god tier trailer.

 

[Boogiepop]

Star One the Terror of Hope. If you make it Star One: The Terror of Hope, it sounds like something that would be the title for a trade for a really forgettable series or something. Like the kind of thing you find scrounging around bargain bins.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Okay, so my generally underwhelmed feelings and disappointment with Spider-Gwen was greatly challenged with that last issue.

Spoiler

The exchange between Gwen and May was fantastic.

First real chance we've had to really care for the character since her unveiling.

 

[Nudull]

Pretty much everything is claimed at this point. Here's what remains:
Captain America, Winter Soldier (Brubaker) vol. 1-2
Captain American, Red Menace (Brubaker) vol. 1-2
DMZ (Wood) vol. 1
Top 10 (Moore) vol. 1

If no one else wants Top 10, I don't mind it.

 

[arkon]

White Stalker The Immortal of Men. Would've preferred of the Stars, will settle for Men.

 

[Rhaknar]

Just checked MU to see how big this X-Factor David run was and it's 113 issues

Does it stay at least decent throughout? I'm only up to #15 ;_;

 

[CrichtonKicks]

David did it in his first run on X-Factor as well (back in the early '90s) and it's one of the quintessential bits regarding Pietro's personality:

time to post that scene again

 

[Discotheque]

why do the front two hairs on quicksilver have a life of their own?

Anime

And that scene is amazing

 

[Coriolanus]

Same reason that makes a man that uses jump sneakers with an oversized power suit think that he holds himself to a higher standard, would be my guess.

Whiteout and Whiteout: Melt finished. Too good. Want More. Doesn't exist. sad.

It's consistently great. I spent 100 issues in fear that it'd be cancelled with each "This changes everything" marvel event, but this little x book kept on trucking

Those were the first Rucka books I read. Ah good times. Time for you to read Queen & Country next

 

[Rhaknar]

Jamie just killed a whole base of Hydra agents because they captured him, tried to mind control him and while mind controlled and hallucinating about his parents he started slapping himself saying "I'm bad", so with every slap a new dupe comes out and slaps himself, times infinity until there are so many dupes the hydra agents just get crushed to death from the mass...

That is horrifyingly original. I love the way they use his powers on this book

 

[Fintan]

Anyone got that image with the complete reading order for Hickman's Avengers run? I think someone here actually made it?

I want to try fit in a reread before the next Secret Wars issue.

Oh one note. There's a dark period late in the run where the writing is still great but it gets a stretch of very bad art. REAL bad. Fortunately it eventually gets corrected.

Spoiler

The exchange between Gwen and May was fantastic.

First real chance we've had to really care for the character since her unveiling.

I loved how it basically highlighted how completely fucked up Gwen's headspace was.

 

[Rhaknar]

Can we talk about how fucked up Jamie's powers are? Maybe it's my phobia of clones (seriously, clones freak me out, the whole sense of self and the meaning of who you are. Movies like the prestige or that puzzle game in space with the clones creep me out) but the idea that his dupes are living people with personalities that are as much Jamie as the original is, well it's fucked.

Issue #16 just had a story where he runs into a dupe that has a wife and son (and is a priest on top), and he goes there to absorb him (as he tends to do to his dupes), how fucked is that. Not to mention the dupes that die which are basically him dying...fuck
I hate clones

 

[zennyzz]

Checked out that Villain name thing

Tidal Tempter The Assassin of Faith

Yeah the book's really getting good. Hopefully the hiatus isn't very long :/

[PsychBat!]

[Messi]

Good luck finishing before Wednesday

FREEZA NO WTF

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Freeza took the ban so that I may live

RIP my freeza I hate it had to be him

 

[Nudull]

Any good books with Vision? I've only read Young Avengers and Avengers AI.

And damn, Freeza, what happened?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

[Messi]

FUCK. MODS TAKE JC, WE NEED FREEZA BACK.

Figuregaf is on fire with bans over lewd figure statues.

 

[zennyzz]

I think both this issue and issue 2 do a pretty good job of that once you realize that spider-pig is just gwen talking to herself for an entire issue

 

[PsychBat!]

What got em? Probably posting a pic he shouldn't have

Questioning a ban in FigureGAF, it seems like.

 

[Poodlestrike]

What got em? Probably posting a pic he shouldn't have

Post history looks like ban discussion might be the culprit.

And as such, that's the last I've got to say on the matter. <_<

 

[Rhaknar]

Stop getting banned people, damn it

 

[Owzers]

FUCK. MODS TAKE JC, WE NEED FREEZA BACK.

Anime....it's always anime.

Also, those Rockets.

 

[Nudull]

Haven't been banned yet, fam. I'm practically bulletproof!

Spoiler

Both true statements.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

ayy lmao rockets

 

[Rhaknar]

-knew you'd show up
-oh yeah? How's that?
-because my friend, I'm the world's greatest detective
-I thought that was Batman
-nope. For starters I don't get off on having kids with green shorts following me around. What's up with that?
-dunno.

Shit like this on Marvel comics break my brain >_<

 

[Messi]

Wow figuregaf got locked. Stay safe people.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Yoooo, what happened to figure gaf?

 

[Messi]

Yoooo, whats happened ti figure gaf?

Someone was goaded into posting a lewd statue, mods banned a bunch including freeza and closed the place. told them not to make another thread.

first person was a perma, someone contact freeza.

 

[Bii]

Wow figuregaf got locked. Stay safe people.

Geez.

Why doesn't DC have something like Marvel Unlimited? :/

 

[zennyzz]

Not a bad gwenom for a cover. The hood being an extra mouth is pretty good

 

[Owzers]

Geez.

They want you to pay money for that floppy feeling.
