At that point, I was simply happy to have a new MUA game to play. And it was fun playing as the Thunderbolts, since the team was pretty relevant around the Civil War story arc.
COMICS! |OT| November 2014. The Wakandan turkey leglock is a time-honored tradition!

Batman in Young Justice and Batman: Under the Red Hood. Also Christopher Pike in the Star Trek reboot films.

Ah, okay. It's hard for anybody to leave an impression after Conroy, for me.
I really fucking like that movie. It's definitely one of the more well-done "extreme" animated movies DC's put out.

Buy and read legion lost. A great gateway into the legion worldI don't read Legion.
It's definitely up there on my DC Animation list. The only one that I've seen in a while that I was indifferent about was Suicide Squad. It wasn't bad, but I thought a majority of the voice acting was super ham fisted.

Hey Zombine, what did you see this weekend? I had to catch Interstellar, but BH6 is at the top of my list for next weekend.
Oh man. Just watched the pilot episode of Constantine. That was so good!
I wasn't expecting to enjoy it at all since I can't stand any of the other comics-based shows since they're so cheesy, but Constantine actually had solid writing, solid acting, and good production values and just happened to also be based on a comic. I'm really, really excited about this show. I loved that.
I'm even more excited to read Hellblazer now (ordered the first three volumes yesterday). I just hope the show doesn't spoil any of the main plot of the comic.

I feel like Hellblazer is John Constantine as he's meant to be. Everything DC has done with him since feels watered down in an attempt to make him suitable for all ages.

Yup the TV show seemed like it was trying to be doctor who. Would love a hell blazer HBO show

I will say that the New 52 Constantine comic doesn't feel like Hellblazer at all. It's not bad, but it's a huge step down from Hellblazer.
Saw Big Hero Six and it was so good. You should check it out asap.
Nice. I'm really, really looking forward to it. I just hope the wordy Delano writing doesn't spoil the fun for me. Either way though, I'm really excited to read it.
I'm really glad Vertigo is doing the reprinted TPBs of the entire series. It'll be great to be able to slowly but surely buy the whole series in those very reasonably priced TPBs (assuming I'm enjoying it, obviously).
And was your post also implying that the show doesn't spoil the comic at all? Can't tell if that was one of the implications or not. Haha
Anyways, gonna go watch the second episode now.

I'm glad I bought all 300 issues of hell blazer that one CMX sale for $300. It was crazy but still the cheapest way to own them all

It's really wordy. It's probably the difficult series I've read in these past few months. It's great, but it probably wasn't the best series to start reading less than a month after I picked up comics as a hobby.

I'll catch it next weekend. I almost went to see it after Interstellar, but after three hours, I was tired of sitting on my butt.
Okay, I'm really enjoying Constantine, but every second John is on screen, I just want to fix his tie. It's kind of driving me nuts.
Haha. Oh geez. You really went all in, didn't you?
Yeah. I picked up the first volume from the library a month or so ago and read the first issue of it and it's definitely dense. Doesn't help that the first issue is a double-sized issue too. Haha. I'm prepared for it though, so hopefully I can get into a groove and not get too bogged down in the wordiness.

Doubt it. It's not even in January 2015 solicitations

I loved Locke & Key. And the artwork is consistently great throughout the series.

Well I had some of the trades before buying. So it wasn't a complete blind buy, but yea I love my digital comic sales. Heh But that one gave me great pause at the checkout page.
It's just a teaser for Secret Wars, not a retcon- it's one of the alternate universes making up part of the new Battleworld.

Finally getting a chance to catch up with the thread. I only got to check in on it on my phone from time to time this weekend.
Goddamn, who is this dude?
80s Alan Moore was the best. He hasn't come close to that level of writing since. From Miracleman to V for Vendetta, he was on a creative rampage that hasnt been seen before.
I love the Bernie Wrightson Frankenstein book. I'm not sure if mine is a regular version or not, but its Absolute edition sized. It really makes the art pop.

Murphy is awesome. I was thiiiis close to buying Punk Rock Jesus but that vertigo paper quality stopped me.

I do think they'll undo OMD soon. I think most fans wants the marriage back. Plus if marvel is all about messing with movie franchises they don't own then doing a bunch of stories with spidey married would help

Finished reading The Black Mirror. Enjoyed it. I loved the art and also the main antagonist (and the new villains). But the book also felt a little bit incohesive. Maybe my mistake was going in expecting the book to be a single story. It felt more like a few arcs in the middle of a longer run.

I hope they don't, unmarried Peter Parker has a bunch of potential and what it really needs is a new writer.
TheDarkKnight774
Member
What potential? Another girlfriend that lasts 12 issues before discarded by new writers? Oh let's have those fresh stories where Peter is explaining to an annoyed love interest why he missed a date doing spidey things! The real potential is him being married and watching him make that work. How many other comics do we have of that? FF?
BuddyJoeHooker
Member
It works with Daredevil.
The marriage went on for twenty years, I'll agree that it wasn't handled the best way with OMD, but the same kind of loop was happening with MJ. She would mysteriously disappear, she would leave Peter, they would rekindle their relationship. Single Peter Parker has potential and we saw a lot of it with Brand New Day.

I read him as Bats for a while when i was just getting into comics but then i saw some eps of B:TAS and played through Arkham City and now it's pretty much Conroy for me

.....and every other superhero in the history of fucking ever who had to juggle heroics and dating. Shit is a trope at this point. Not to mention boring.

Yeah I would rather have Peter be married. I think one of the reasons most protagonists are single is because nearly everyone can identify with dating life but fewer people identify with a protagonist in a relationship since every relationship is different. Just my crappy theory

Catching up on JL3K right now. Dang this is some good shit.
All those words put together in a sentence make me sad.
I might have started reading Spider-Man again.
That they erased two decades of character development and progress to regress Spider-Man to his '60s self was the great crime.
It's a world created by the Beyonder from fragments of other worlds and populated with characters stolen from various places to fight for the Beyonders shits and giggles. It's also where Spider-Man first met and bonded to the Venom Symbiote back in the first Secret Wars.
The new one is comprised of pieces of alternate universes and the characters from them instead of the mainline Marvel Universe.
Spider-Verse has been legitimately fun thus far. Especially the most recent ASM.

It has potential. But I don't really find the villains interesting.
