Eh, he was on a team with Feral and Thornn and passed that up. I remember his romantic misadventures with Risque much more vividly.
Oh man that would be fantastic. Sadly the 2.0 solicit implies a very different status quo for Carol after Civil War II. It could still happen down the line, but unlikely given the movie push.

She got a near-lethal dose of heroin in the X-Force run, but she recovered.
As for who sexed her, it was Hrimhari. Who was one of the wolf gods of Asgard. So.... it was full-on furry-on-furry.

Neal "whines like a bitch all the time" Shaara?
Who hasn't, though?
It was an Asgardian wolf person on the run from Frost Giants. That was a weird plot.

She ain't gonna be as good as everyone thinks she will. Which means easy pickins for the rest of us.
Did anyone watch the Mass Effect trailer? I am so ready for this inevitable disappointment.

Yeah, not a great trailer but the info from GameInformer sounds good. I'm glad the Mako's returning and there'll be more of a focus on exploration again.

I will always be there day one for Mass Effect as long as the alien dating sim is intact. Bioware should really just switch to making dating sims. They'd probably be much more profitable.
Source? All I can find is this interview with the next writer, where she says:
All of the bolded are red flags to me that signify I won't enjoy this at all.

I think I might give Mass Effect a shot too. I was a fan of Dragon Age Inquisition. Isn't Mass Effect just sci-fi Dragon Age?

Basically, though combat here plays mainly like a third-person shooter aside from using biotic abilities and commanding teammates.
Invincible Iron Man #1 preview I need this in my veins.
Uncanny X-Men #13 and #14
Am I the only one here still reading this? I've come close to dropping it several times but I really enjoyed these issues. It's a very interesting character lineup and they did a good job of wrapping up the arc. Not sure where it's gonna go from here but I guess I'll stick with it until the end. Skipping DoX and IvX though, I'll check out at least one of the team books during the relaunch.

Stohl's NYCC interview made me interested in how she plans on writing Carol.

IGN has a video of Sombra's skins, emotes and highlight intros. I like the Incendio, Virus and Cyberspace skins.

First I've heard of it, though I'm not surprised. Dark Horse will be doing an artbook too.

It's not an ongoing, it's an OGN. First Strike, digital release this month (allegedly, I'm guessing there's a delay now), physical in April. Physical will also include all the mini-comics that have been on CMX.

Never played it. The Marvel Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends games definitely are, though.
I get a new PC in a few weeks and if its really Diablo with Marvel People I would looove it.
Should maybe play Ultimate Alliance at some point, too. Have booth games for my 360.
Did anyone hear the rumor about the X-Men coming to Avengers Academy?
If it's true, I'm more excited about what it would mean for future Marvel games. No longer would new Marvel games be restricted in their character choices like what happened for the last 2 or so years. I guess Marvel Entertainment & Fox's improving relationship may be finally spreading throughout other forms of media, after all.

Love Perez' art, that spread with Ego is awesome. Anyone reading anything decent this evening? Still books for me, Revival by King, really great. It's reminds me I need to read Chimichanga, I want a weird carnival comic.

It's close enough, with a coating of MMO gloss on top. You'll see other players but you won't really do much with them outside of fighting bosses in hubs. There is a whole raiding system but I've never touched it.
I like the game, play it quite a bit, but it is far from perfect. It is also very expensive for a F2P game, or very grindy, take your pick. There's plenty of freebies over time though, I've gotten Luke Cage and Doctor Strange for free the last few weeks. Sometimes there are good discounts in the Steam sales as well, like the Captain America: Civil War pack was 90% off in the 2016 Summer Sale. These days I only play during events with a big server-wide XP bonus so I can level a character in 2 hours or so.
Rhaknar has put several thousand hours in the game, he's probably the guy you should talk to about it.
Thats why I am asking here, I think my post will bot be seen in the OT
How does it compare to that Infinite Crisis game with DC heroes?
Perez's work just has a classic feel to it that I can't help but love. I also like how he made Sam a little bit tanner to better reflect his Latino ancestry (I think he's only half Latino, but you get the idea). And while I would have preferred Richard to have orange energy, I'm cool with it being red. I'd mention the missing two spikes on the starburst, but I feel like there may be a story reason behind Richard being a Centurion now rather than Nova Prime.

Infinite Crisis was a MOBA like League of Legends or Dota 2. A terrible MOBA, and I've played a lot of them. It closed down last year, I actually almost bought the full collection of heroes when they were 50% off. They closed like a month later. A bad, bad game in every way. Which is a shame because I think a superhero MOBA could work.
I still want to see that cancelled Left 4 Dead/Payday-style Avengers game be a thing someday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R84svZiVrmU

Champions #2
[5/5]: This was fantastic. I had mixed feelings towards the first issue but this one was a lot of fun. Waid really is making the dynamic work. Also, that was totally Novas secret super villain origin.
Avengers #1
[4/5]: A really solid start to the series and finally an Avengers book that I'm excited to read. The previous one was way too hit and miss for me but this start seems a lot more focused and it shows.
Occupy Avengers #1
[3/5]: "I really like the type of story this book is trying to tell. But the entire framing of it and who they have leading it is really bringing it down. Especially with the incredibly simplistic moral take on the whole ""he asked me to do it."" It's lame and not done well at all."
Batman #10
[3/5]: A disappointing follow-up to last issue. I think what really harmed this issue was the structure of it all. Selinas story would have worked better in an issue more focused on her. But here, it seems to be used to stretch out a plot point that otherwise shouldn't have taken so long to tell.
