Support NeoGAF

[echoshifting]

I really want to know what the plans for ASM are post-CC. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point RYV was brought over to the main universe if people support this direction, especially when you look at Superman over at DC.

I think it depends on how RYV is received. If people say, "hey I remember this guy! Yeahhhh this rules!" then...maybe, maybe.

But. Killing 616 Peter and replacing him with nuPeter is a much taller order than replacing n52 Supes with OG Supes. If people think of RYV Peter as OG Peter (and buy the shit out of RYV), that changes everything.

I definitely think it's best to assume they will probably do nothing because it's a much different situation, but stranger things have happened.

Is that actually going to happen? Seems pretty insane to me

Spoiler

that they would even think about letting Doctor bloody Doom join the Avengers. Even if he does look like Vincent Cassel.

Confirmed happening. He's in the teaser image.

 

[Hagi]

Really no need to spoiler tag something that was announced months ago. He even had his own book as Ironman.

If I knew it had been announced I wouldn't have asked if it was happening. Not a fan of the Ironman stuff at all but then I haven't liked anything about the way Bendis has written him since he became Tonys weird stalker.

Confirmed happening. He's in the teaser image.

Huh should be interesting to see how they all come to terms with that . I hope it comes up in Sams main book. Somewhere in some strange dimension the hair on the back of Reed Richards neck are standing on end.

after ruling the universe it is down hill for Doom achievement wise.

I liked how it ended though and can't wait to see

Spoiler

what happens between them at the tail end of CW2. We seem to be missing a piece between Invincible and Infamous

.

 

[Rhaknar]

I need to get back to Invincible (well, I need to get back to comics in general really), did Tony warm up to Doom eventually or is he always a dick?

Justifiably so mind you, it is Doom afterall, but still

If they were to make that change I would imagine it involving Mephisto rather than killing and replacing Peter.

I think how people feel about ASM will also play a factor because if people continue to be down on the book after CC, but you see them preferring RYV I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

You know what's interesting about that?

In Hickman's Fantastic Four run, a member of the Council of Reeds tells 616 Reed that Dr. Doom is the greatest threat to the universe and that Reed is basically the only thing standing in his way.

Well, he ain't around anymore. And look at what's happening.

Yup to me this has all been pretty lame. I'm not even against the whole redemption thing it's just Bendis plus latching him onto Tony leaves a lot to be desired.

Maybe if the scheduling wasn't so borked and Civil War was actually finished I'd have had a better time with the first issue but it's difficult to go into something with an already negative perception. I did like the flashback at least!

Lol no, Bendis writes a competent Tony

I am not against Doom playing dressing up and joining the avengers because we all know he will screw them over. I just don't want a retread of superior Spider-man.

Nah. Reed is the soft-hearted mofo that will think Doom is cleaning up his life.

Well Valerya is right there going "I believe in you Uncle Doom" so there.

Your heartless robot.

inb4 the ultimates have to confront Doom.

True. Much like Thor/Loki, Reed/Victor is patterned after the adversarial relationship of Charlie Brown and Lucy.

I'm looking forward to them eventually coming back and thinking that they made a wrong turn somewhere. Then again this is a universe where Norman Osborne was director of a massive security agency.

Kinda funny to look at HAMMER then think where SHIELD is now because god-damn if Mariah Hill is any better.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Kitty and Emma as exclusives. Now I'm convinced Funko have it out for Messi.

Jesus, I just ordered Emma this afternoon from BigBadToyStore and she's sold out already. Funko exclusives sell out like nobody's business. People go fucking crazy for things that probably cost 10 cents to manufacture.

let me know how COD is.

The more I play this campaign the more I like it. Especially when it opens up the optional missions. It gives things a somewhat more loose mission structure than past games in the series. Outer space dogfights are the best.

yes. Wall running is so awesome. so cool how you can

Spoiler

switch the mech loadouts at anytime

Make sure you don't miss any loadouts. Most of them are obvious, but one of them is tricky. I missed it the first time and had to go back via mission-select when I was hunting trophies.

Foolkiller #1 is a great fucking comic.

I don't believe you.

Slott's got plans, also that Zodiac guy is probably coming back.

Dog fights and optional missions? This is what I always wanted.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Pretty much every mission has had outer space dogfights so far.

 

[TheFlow]

Slow clap. I am in

I might have to get in on this

 

[Freezasaurus]

The main purpose of the optional missions from an upgrade perspective is that you find the enemy armory and hack their computer for new weapon schematics and ship upgrades.

And have I mentioned that you unlock new nose art for your fighter? AAAAHHHHHHH

 

[mreddie]

Already did all of those or they're coming. Slott is playing the big game and I feel we're about to finally transition writers. Zodiac is being saved after all that since Peter pushed his ass to the future.

 

[Freezasaurus]

If anyone is interested, DCBS is offering the $350 Wonder Woman + Horse statue for $238, and the training outfit statue for $102. I think I'm in for the latter.

 

[Malyse]

I'm so glad figure collecting isn't a vice of mine.

 

[echoshifting]

Do we know what Skyspears is a reference to?

Seems like Osborne hasn't surfaced yet unless I missed something.

Inhumans?

Osbourne has been present in the series but isn't in Clone so I assume he's the endgame.

 

[echoshifting]

Inhumans?

Couldn't it just as easily be Asgardians, or Shi'ar, or the Builders? Or Doom?

Heck the (GotG)

Spoiler

Brood and Annihilus both

seem like they're getting ready to start shit too

First half was good, second half I have mixed feelings on.

COMING SOON TO NBC

Strange looks like rental to me.

It isn't but dammit, it's the best film I've seen in awhile. This year has been ass for movies.

Yeah and I hate Harry Potter more than all the rest.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

With the exception of Strange who acts more like a sorcerer, they're all kung fu monks that know magic and conjure up weapons. If you used bound weapons in Skyrim it's a lot like that.

I'm debating digital vs trades again, it might be that i don't really value owning digital comics as much as i enjoy MU like services. So, digital browsing and reading, sure. Buying and owning series digitally? Not so much. I would rather read a physical trade than read five issues of a thing digitally.

Also, reading first volume trades is weird because a lot of the time i'm reading i'm continually asking myself "do i want to read more of this when i'm done?" So judgemental.

With the judging.

I want to main Sombra.

And i signed up for a free Amazon Prime trial that i didn't know i could do again and got Tyrande for Hearthstone.

And i baked an Apple Pie and now i'm working on finishing Autumnlands vol 1 and watching the Lakers beat the Warriors?

 

[Freezasaurus]

I want to main Sombra.

Me too. She looks like a lot of fun. When is she supposed to be out? Have they given a date?

 

[Owzers]

Next week ptr server for Sombra, Arcade mode and new small map too, then new control map Oasis in Dec.

No live date yet.

 

[jurgen]

More like Doctor Stupid.

Spoiler

First half was good, second half I have mixed feelings on.

I saw it earlier this week and have had some time to think on it. I'd honestly put it on the same tier as Iron Man 3.

Me too. She looks like a lot of fun. When is she supposed to be out? Have they given a date?

After the end of the current competitive season, I believe.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Is that good or bad? I never saw IM3.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Is that good or bad? I never saw IM3.

I wondered that, too. I feel like 3 is divide enough that it could go either way.

 

[Owzers]

Strange looks like rental to me.

They're all rentals except Star Wars 8.

 

[Freezasaurus]

After the end of the current competitive season, I believe.

Man, she must have leaked way earlier than they intended.

 

[BrightLightLava]

They're all rentals except Star Wars 8.

Oh, speak of the star based wars. The trailer for Rogue One I got before the movie looked a lot more interesting that the last one I'd seen.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I saw it earlier this week and have had some time to think on it. I'd honestly put it on the same tier as Iron Man 3.

I won't lie, the second half it was almost leaning into IM3 territory. I would say Ant-Man is better than Strange. The writing and characters in Ant-Man are stronger.
