Let me guess
Many Fall:
Emma Frost cuz she's evil to begin with, Nightcrawler cuz he's gotten out of way worse scrapes than this with both his hide and morals intact yet for some reason this time he completely compromises his beliefs and integrity cuz the writer says so, Cyclops cuz he had to kill Jean and than immediately went to town on Emma, Beast cuz they haven't done anything fun with beast yet so lets make him evil for a while.

Several Die:
Jean dies, Sniktbub dies but comes back cuz he's the best there is at what he does, Cable dies but it's a future Cable who sacrifices himself so present Cable can live, Magneto dies but it's just a robot.

One will control the fate of the entire species:

A member form the new mutants who hasn't been seen or used for several years is possessed by Xavier's ghost from the future were he's a bitter hate-filled old man.

Also in a crossover Spider-Man with do something way out of character that will completely contradict his actions in the Spider-Man book that had been jsut released that very same month.

Kyle and Yost are some of my favorite writers in the business right now, they will probably pull off something better then this. Not that I have any faith in Joe "X-23 WAS A PROSTITUTE NYX IS CANON CAUSE I WROTE IT" Quesada. (Kyle and Yost says she's not, by the way, because they are awesome).

Speaking of Laura, I have the feeling she might be getting killed off soon. :(

Yeah, the one-shot is what I was semi-raging about because I pretend NYX isn't canon.

I think they're foreshadowing some stuff in X-Force, and Kyle and Yost have talked about how Laura is their baby and they'd rather see her die then let certain writers get a hold of her.

NYX is a pretty terrible miniseries Joe Quesada wrote a few years back about mutant girls in New York. It's where Kiden was introduced, so it was already sort of canon, but the one-shot cements it.

In it, Laura was a prostitute in New York City (which makes no sense if you've read both her minies). Kyle and Yost were asked about it in an interview and they made it pretty clear that Laura was never a prostitute, but obviously Joe Quesada gets the final say. :(

The new one-shot pretty much confirms that her being a prostitute is canon and talks more about her prostitution past. It's also not very well written from what I've heard, so you might want to skip it since I know you love Laura too.

Yeah, rape and prostitution backgrounds seem really big with Marvel and DC. I don't get it. It really doesn't fit with some characters (Catwoman), and it just seems like it's used way too often.

I think if I make any super hero women they'll have a Silver Surfer like skin armor that can be retracked only after saying a magic word in a little known language and concentrating so there will be no way a later writer can have them raped.

Wait, he's actually a little kid in a big guy's body? That could be a great way to explore a child's fantasies and conceptions of the power and freedom that they see adults have and the consequences that they carry or it could be lame like the 10 year old power ranger from the lame car series.

He helped Rouge out in the foxkids cartoons and she had Ms Marvel's powers so I'm sure he's at least on level with her.

TK

GAH. why do people always write "rouge." drives me nuts!

I won't bother to point out that the cartoon is out of canon BUT someone significantly less powerful could still lend a hand to someone more powerful, but let's be realistic here, Ms. Marvel can fly, is WAY stronger than Spider-Man, can absorb shit that would knock him unconscious and can blast guys with energy shit things. (I am pretty sure Rogue only got flying and strength from Ms. Marvel in the comics also, right? Was it even Ms. Marvel's powers in the cartoon? I feel like they would have justified it some other way instead of bringing that complication to an audience who largely wouldn't even know who Ms. Marvel is.)

Spider-Man is my favorite super hero, so don't get me wrong here, I am not knocking him. But it always feels weird to me when he's hanging with the Avengers. He's seriously underpowered in that crowd.

The spell check on my google toolbar is acting up as well as my mouse which is double clicking when I only 1 click so that's why Rogue was Rouge.

And yes in the cartoon Rogue had the durablity as well, a sentinal punched her into a wall and it made a cartoon indentation of her shape. She has also been shot by rockets and stuff.

Most of the Avengers comics I've read are either from the 70's or Marvel Adventures, but Spidey isn't that outclassed, is he? I am not positive of the current Avengers line-up but he seems like he could hold his own with Cap, Hawkeye, and Hellcat easily.

I don't know, maybe I'm biased because all my favorite incarnations of the Justice League have had Batman as a member, but even though he's nowhere near as powerful as someone like Thor him being on the team doesn't feel weird to me. I was going to say that his intelligence would probably be a big asset too but then I remembered Hank Pym. He isn't in the Marvel Adventure Avengers so I forgot him. ; ;

TK
04-07-2010, 01:45 AM
Hawkeye and Hellcat, yeah, he probably could. Those two at least have really specialized powers that you can imagine coming in handy in cases where someone else couldn't do anything though.

Cap pretty much wiped the floor with Spidey when they fought in Civil War, though, which I think was about accurate. Plus as an avenger Cap is more there for his leadership qualities than anything else.

I think Spider-man is like the Flash of the Avengers.

He's there in part for his powers, but he's the 'heart' of the group.

While he may not be as strong as the Hulk, he's got the a heart the size of.

Even if he's the least powerful guy on the team Spider-man is still a great asset and has defeated numerous foes above his power level. Then there's the fact that having some extra guys around would be beneficial to a team, Thor and Namor can't be everywhere at once even if they went 24/7 365 they'll need backup and other team members to rotate around so people won't get burned out so fast.

Is it just me or does DC tend to pass on super hero titles to new characters i.e. the originals die/ become evil, or they just give it to their kids whereas Marvel just bumps up the original guys into modern times.

Well, Marvel occasionally has a legacy character, but it's rare. TBH, the only example I can think of of one right now is Bucky Cap.

DC is very into legacy characters and families and all that though, which is something I'm into too. I really like the concept that the idea of a hero is so important that it needs to live on after the hero is gone. It gets a little confusing when characters regularly come back, though. Right now, there are three Flashes and one Kid Flash (who was a Flash at one point in time). Barry and Wally have really similar costumes too, which is a bit of a pain in the butt, but thankfully they're written very differently. Jay's costume is pretty easily recognizable, though.

If you want to get really confusing, there are two different characters in the DCU named Nightwing that aren't related to each other in the slightest. Dick Grayson (who is currently Batman) took on the name Nightwing after hearing a story about a Kryptonian hero with that name, so it wasn't really a big deal, but then that Nightwing showed up in the New Krypton storyline.

I have to confess that I love that comics are so weird and complicated, but it makes it hard to introduce people to stuff. ; ;

Yeah, I actually think that part of the fun of comics is how convoluted everything is. It can definitely go too far though.

I'm sure Bucky Cap is not going to last forever. Steve has had plenty of hiatuses from being Captain America, but Marvel just can't stand keeping him away too long.

It might actually be Marvel fans though, on the other hand. They tried to pass Spidey on to Ben Reilly, but fan outrage drove the series into the ground until they were forced to reverse it. But then again, that might be related to the incredibly hamhanded and disrespectful way they did it. Hmm, sounds familiar...

i don't really like legacy characters because i get so attached to the one that's already there. also, imo there should be one character with that one name. for example, there should be only one storm, one rogue, one spiderman, etc, etc. (i get really mad when the phoenix goes to another host that's not jean. JEAN IS THE ONE TRUE PHOENIX DAMN IT.)

Marceline

Well, with X-men, legacy characters don't really make sense to me in the same way they do for characters like say, Robin. When Bruce made Jason Todd Robin, he even had him dye his hair black so that he looked more like Dick did when he was Robin. You don't want to give the impression that something happened to the original costumed hero to the baddies (though obviously Dick only retired from being Robin and he is and was a-okay).

One idea I love that I don't think I've seen used at all outside of the movie Mystery of the Batwoman is multiple heroes using the same costume at the same time to throw people off. The hero could be in multiple places at once and it'd really add to the creepy/messing with the bad guys head factor. Obviously this isn't going to work for Flashes though, since they're all fast enough to be in multiple places at once and Jay and Wally's identities aren't secret.

This afternoon I caught the beginning of an episode of Batman Brave and the Bold. It wasn't the funny it usually was and had the Wayne family going to see Zorro but it was different than how it was shown in the Christmas episode.
I didn't watch it seeing as how food was done but the best thing was Adam West voiced Tomas Wayne.

Did someone think Gargoyles were the shitnat or something in character design?

Also, is that 2008 from the Batman animation movie collection.
The one that's suppose to be between 'Begins' and 'The Dark Knight'?

1. That was the style of the Superman animated series that aired on the WB, notice it's much cheaper looking than BtAS artwork so when they decided to make the shows have 1 consistent style you can guess which one they went for.

2. Yes that's the Batmanime.

Hearing Conroy's voice and acting style form B:TAS in an anime was surreal at times, I wonder if they got the same voice actor from the japanese dub to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne too? I know there's this one japanese VO guy who's hugely prolific and does the dubs for Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, Tigger, & I think Sean Connery.

Free comics day Saturday! I think I'm going to hit up multiple comic shops this yearr since I'm going to have to drive a ways away anyways. The places near me are all pretty small and gaming/comics shops so they probably won't have anything big going on, but it'll still be fun, there'll still be free comics and I'm still hoping that I'll see something neat.

I made that gif lawl. It's safe to say that if I was Flash-fast, I would also abuse it for guitar playing.

I might make my way back to that old comic store I visited a few weeks ago to see if anything cool is going on. I visited a second time and there wasn't anyone else in there like the first visit, and I felt too shy to try chatting up the owner so I just got out of there heh. Haven't been interested in going back really, because I am a bad person that is bad, but maybe this will make it worth while.

I re-read some Batman this week. I got tagged to make a "50 things you own!" video on Youtube and I pulled out The Long Halloween as one of my items, and decided to re-read it, SO I DID, and then I was like HEY I CAN RE-READ YEAR ONE ALSO, SO I DID

Marceline

It is an excellent gif. <3

You should re-read Dark Victory too, if you have it! That one has a pretty special place in my heart, probably because I am so into Batfamily stuff.

Aside from my bajillion ongoings, I'm currently reading all of John Ostrander's run on The Spectre. I'm currently about halfway through. It's good stuff, but man, the 90's were so weird for comics. Zatanna's redesign!

Here is my Free Comic Book Day Haul!



Mr. Terrific is not a free comic but he is so awesome, and I'm so excited to have found him in person that I stuck him in the photo anyways. More pics of him later- I am totally scared to take him out of his package right now because I'm afraid I'll mess him up somehow. ; ;

Comic places were totally packed. Strangely enough, the only people I saw in costume were dressed as anime characters. I wanted to buy some comics too, but the girl working that I talked too didn't seem to know anything about comics and she couldn't tell me if they had what I wanted, and I couldn't find it on my own. :( Oh well, such a busy day is probably not the best time to shop for that stuff. The people were nice and let me take a ton of comics so I will try and go back and drop some cash on comics there in the future.

Lunchbox McGillicuddy
05-01-2010, 07:22 PM
Those are usually sturdy toys, you probably won't mess him up. Only thing is if he has a stuck joint, but that wouldn't be your fault.

I've never seen him in stores :( Did they charge way higher than retail price?

I ended up deciding not to go, it's kind of a weird, paranoid, anti-social reason, but something entered my mind I couldn't get over. Weirdo :(

Marceline
05-01-2010, 07:28 PM
Nope! He was at Target, regular price. I was so shocked to find him. I was totally hugging the box because he's been at the top of my want list for a while. He looks really really good in person too.

His t-spheres are attached to him with thin clear plastic so they'll actually be floating around him, which is awesome, but I'm afraid I'll break the plastic when I take him out. ; ;

Bet you can still score free comics if you change your mind, Ktulu! Probably way less crowded now too. But if not, I don't think anything is don't miss stuff, it is just fun to get free things. They had a free heroclix War Machine too, but I didn't take it because I wasn't super into it and they didn't have a ton. I'd rather save it for people who'd be really psyched to get it. Plus I was not expecting to be allowed to take so many comics and I didn't want to take advantage. ; ;

The Mouse Guard comic is seriously sturdy, and is a Fraggle Rock comic on the other side.

Mr. Terrific is rare? There where 2 of him at my target as well as kid flash, gentleman ghost, Wonder Woman, Vigilante, & Big Barda.

I was only able to get 3 comics today; DC kids, Fraggle Rock, & that fairy tale legend thing. There was 1 war machine left but I passed on him for the same reasons as you did.

There was some battle game tourney going on with about 5 guys, there where also quite a few little children coming and going as well so it was well attended compared to last year.

John Jackson Miller http://www.farawaypress.com/ was there as well as some local self published author.

John's a pretty nice guy, he talked mostly about how the he had to develop and write around the artists creative liberties with the character designs i.e. 1 person was meant to be human but the artists made her albino pale with elf ears, as well as all the careful steps he took to make sure the comic synced up with the Kotor video game. He also lamented Hasblow's cancellation of the comic figure 2 packs with 2 of his characters being the first set to be cut.

These things always vary from place to place, but a lot of that line of toys is hard to find. Gentleman Ghost and Vigilante aren't common either. The only ubiquitous "shelf warmer" is pretty much Captain Cold.

I heard that a lot of people snap up the free comics from Free Comic Book Day just to sell on eBay, lawl.

Pretty much all the free comics are scanned now, if you really wanted to read any of them, Robbu. The only one that it was super important to me to get was War of the Supermen, but I am psyched to have gotten so many. Most of what I've read has been entertaining. It's nice to get a look at some indie comics since I pretty much just read DC/Vertigo and Marvel. I'll check out some of the previewed stuff for sure, though I'm not sure if I'll pick anything up since I already read a ridiculous amount of ongoings.

And man, I want to trade Targets with you, Tom. Gentlemen Ghost is another of my most sought after figures. My store did have Kid Flash, but since it's Wally and not Bart I wasn't persuaded to grab him. Mostly though, there were just piles and piles of Commander Steel. Did your store get Power Girl? If they did I'm totally gonna cry. ;)

3? Maybe your area is low on collectors :o Some stores get more than others though since it's based on what's actually ordered.

Those two packs are supposed to be 30 bucks I think, which is just kinda meh. Usually multi-packs are less than the items within would cost separately so it's not very alluring.

crossed was pretty good, except i was left totally unsatisfied by the ending.

me too, as i was holding the last 2 pages, and reading all that epilogue, i was seriously hoping for something drastic to happen, but then, nothing, and i was like "thats it?".
im not a comicbookworm, so i havent read many comics, but i can tell a horrible ending when i see one, and crossed had the most horrible ending ive read so far.

also, a friend of mine is obsessed with marvel zombies series of comics, is that any good? i do like zombie movies and games to an extent (and i loved the walking dead, another friend has and i plan to buy for myself), but i dont want to be dissapointed if it has a horrible ending like crossed, though my friend said that while the "main" story was finished, they are still making another series, how can this be possible?

anyway, marvel zombies, recommend or avoid?

the reason i specifically want MZ, is that, its not as complicated as other marvel comics, like ULTIMATE MARVEL, MARVEL THIS, MARVEL THAT, and stuff like that that make my head hurt everytime i try to think about them.

Man Rob, I'm really surprised you liked Crossed. It's just not the sort of thing I'd expect you to be into, I guess. I freely admit that I haven't read much of it, though. Garth Ennis generally isn't my thing, though I do think he's a super talented writer. I have a lot more to say on that but it's more about writing than comics so!

Pieces Knight, the Marvel Zombie comics are pretty decent! I'd actually also suggest Marvel Adventures comics to you? They're meant to be all-ages, but they're hilarious, not super kiddy, and not continuity crazy or event plagued.

If you're okay with reading DC and don't mind a bit of fanservice, I'd also suggest the current Power Girl ongoing. I am a bit biased when it comes to Power Girl, but it's well written, fun stories that generally last for about 2-3 issues, and they aren't at all involved in the big DC universe stories. There are 11 issues out right now, and it's getting a change in team after issue 12, so it probably won't stay this way much longer, but it might be up your alley for the time being.

i'm surprised i liked it too, but it was really well written. i was able to focus in on the interactions and relationships of the survivors (which is what the comic is really about anyway), and ignore the gore.

I can check it out sometime! I have read it a bit but I was kind of turned off by the basic execution of the concept? I guess it's hard for me to buy that with all inhibitions removed people are going to go around raping everyone and tearing their bodies apart. Stuff like throwing people off the airplane was a little more believable to me. I feel like if less of the Crossed took things that far it'd be a lot easier for me to buy, but ultimately it's just a conflict between the way I view the world and the way Garth Ennis does.

I genuinely do think he's one of the most talented writers working in comics, but there's such a clash between what I love in a comic and what he likes to do, and it can be frustrating. Do you know his comic The Boys? It's Merl's favorite comic, so I usually download it for him and sometimes I read it. I am not a huge fan of it, because it's pretty anti-hero, but it's perhaps my biggest source of inspiration right now.

In the most recent issues he's introduced a team of heroes called Super-Duper, and it's made such an impact on me.










They were just instantly so endearing and I wanted so much to root for them and watch them stumble through adventures and cheer them on. But I don't trust that things are going to end well for them in a comic that employs eating babies as a storytelling device, so I think I'm going to write a comic with the kind of story that I wish Super-Duper would have. It's not a rip-off, though I haven't worked on it much- it's just another lovable losers story that I expect will have a very different outcome. Curse you, Garth Ennis. ; ;

i am sorta reading the boys. i've been dling the issues but haven't gotten around to reading them. i've only read the first 6 issues or so. but yeah, i've seen a little of the super duper thing and i know things will not end well, especially with the addition of their new team member. i mean, when your first issue has a hero obliterating a civilian by running into her, and the second issue has america's favorite hero demanding the new addition to the team give him and the other males blowjobs, things probably aren't going to work out for the "good" guys that you root for.

also, nothing wrong with replotting stuff! i'm starting to do it more and more, as i showed you already. i still need to write that btw...

Oh, well this could take a while so lets be direct, probably most of the fan favorites & a little side stuff. Hi T3(Tom's Toonami Tunes) how bout you buddy?

My love of comics actually began with the cartoons, I generally read whatever the library has that looks good. I have colored re-prints of the 1, 3, & 4 vol. of the original TMNT comic, I'd like to read the original batch of X-Men and Spider-man, Yotsuba&! is my favorite manga, I'm reading League of Extraordinary Gentlemen The Black Dossier right now, and I've like to read some of the old marvel star wars stories.

I'd say I'm more of a Marvel guy and like the feel of the characters better but I can point out a bunch of DC stories I could recommend as sure reads whereas I can't think of a single marvel book that's all that great.

Maybe it's to trick the readers into a false sense of doom so you'll think they meet a bad end but they'll end up victorious at a tweest.
God there are soo many characters and stories I'd love to see re-done, I'm not any good at writing.

My main area is really quite horrible with stocking and even just carrying things. I really need plain metal bookends but no place carries them any more except staples and office max and those are crappy and expensive.
I think the only reason I see so many DC guys is because the stores only have 3 pegs for them so they only put out 1 box at a time so new things get rotated in regularly. Now the big lines like star wars, J.I. Joe, & transfromers it starts out ok,there's enough restocking of the year's first waves but they always end up ordering too much of the first waves that I can go form march with the first new sets and have only those out until october when you see like maybe 2 new cases worth and them nothing again until christmas.

I'd say I'm more of a Marvel guy and like the feel of the characters better but I can point out a bunch of DC stories I could recommend as sure reads whereas I can't think of a single marvel book that's all that great.

I genuinely think DC is better than Marvel right now, though Marvel is improving. I realize that I'm going to sound biased when I say this, since I clearly have a DC preference, but I definitely think Marvel was better maybe 4-5 years ago- DC started to gain an edge again whenever Sinestro Corps War was. It goes back and forth.

I think Marvel has some major problems editorially right now, and I don't say that only because Joe Quesada is awful. The way events cross over into other books has been really badly handled in recent years, and it's hurt a lot of their books. One of the big ones for me is Bryan K. Vaughn's last issue of Runaways- at the end of the book, Iron Man shows up to take the characters into custody, and readers are excited to see what happens next. If you grab the next issue, the Runaways are in New York for no discernible reason and any reader who read the last issue is going to wonder what they missed.

The space between those Runaways issues was somewhat bridged in the Runaways/Young Avengers Civil War tie-in, but plenty of readers aren't going to realize this, and plenty of the one that do aren't going to want to buy some tie-in to know what happened in a book they've read every issue of. This is also a really troublesome thing to do for a book like Runaways that's known for having great trade paperback sales-that tie-in isn't going to be in the trades. I'm sure they made some extra cash getting people to buy that trade in, but it's short term thinking. Runaways lost a good chunk of readers after they did that, and now the comic is on hiatus, being retooled.

I think Marvel is on a better track now, and hopefully they keep improving, and DC does too. Things are always more fun when both of the big two are at their best. In the mean time, Marvel Adventures comics are as rad as ever!

Man, I'm not trying to say that there's nothing worth reading at Marvel, and I'm sorry if I came across that way. I hate the wars between the big two.

I just think they've been really short-sighted with a lot of stuff lately. I don't think it's the fault of anyone but the editors. They're recognizing that they messed up on some stuff and they're fixing it, so I do think they're on the right track. I will keep on dreaming of the day that Quesada gets ousted, though. ^^

Just as another example of what I mean- it was really, really short sighted to make Iron Man into such a colossal jerkbag when he had a major movie in the works. Marvel had to have been seeing the dailies for the movie and I'm sure they expected it to be a hit. The editors should've stepped up and said "hey, we can't make Iron Man a big hated character right when he is about to see a surge in popularity", but they didn't, and I don't think they were able to capitalize on the first movie as much as they could've.

Now however, again not long before an Iron Man movie is coming out, they have worked to undo everything they messed up with Iron Man and are trying to get him back to being a likable character again. They're retconning it stupidly, yes, but that's the way reality gets punched when it comes to retcons, and I'm just pleased they realized their mistake and did what they need to to fix it. I hope Iron Man 2 is able to sell more comics, because you know how much I care about the comics industry.

Haha, man, I only meant to clarify that I wasn't trying to Marvel bash. :( I just can't talk about this stuff without going on and on.

I grew up liking Marvel way more but I kind of prefer DC now too, although I still love the Marvel characters

TK
05-05-2010, 07:26 PM
Haha Ndi I am exactly the same way.

Right now I'm not reading any ongoings at all because I just got bored with it. I am planning to get back into it with Spectacular Spider-Girl which I'm going to make trips to the comic store to buy because I care so much about it, and this is probably the end of her unless she has miraculously good sales. I'll probably read some other things maybe too because I'm hoping things are getting better like you say.

I'm still so utterly disgusted with ASM right now though that it makes me not want to read anything Marvel at all to some extent, like I have a hard time caring about anything that happens in their entire universe. The book has gotten unreadable to the point where I can't stand to read it even for free.

I think overall DC has much better writing and stories right now. Character wise though I love Marvel and I have never really liked DC characters. =/

He doesn't have his own ongoing anymore- just a back-up feature in Booster Gold (who you might also like, have you read 52?) and a spot in the Teen Titans, but I really think you'd like the current Blue Beetle, TK.



I'm also going to recommend Secret Six to you. I'm not sure why, other than the fact it is a really well written comic. It's just a feeling, I guess. I could upload the first issue (or some 52 or Blue Beetle) if you're in the mood to check anything out.

It's things like this that make it super hard for anyone new to get into comic books. If you want people's money you shouldn't make it super hard for them to get into the thing you're selling to them. Hell Now that I think about it I've gotten most of my comic book experiences from the cartoons.

I think I want to try and find some of the first original stories I've already read the first issues of X-Men and Spider-man so I figure I should see some of the origins of the other guys as well.

Marceline
05-07-2010, 11:35 PM
ugh, retcons piss me off so much. the xorn thing just makes me so annoyed/angry EVERY SINGLE TIME i think about it.

The Xorn thing is the reason I stopped reading Uncanny X-men, and I still haven't gone back to it.

I think the only retcon that has made me angrier is OMD, if you can even call that a retcon.

I am really willing to swallow some dumb retcons sometimes (you know how much I love kryptonite poisoning), but there are some I can't take.

Also: Both Batman and Robin and Red Robin were FANTASTIC this week. I can not stress enough how awesome a comic Batman and Robin is. It is just...everything I think an ongoing comic should be. Many of the villains are new to the Batman-verse and are fantastic, especially Professor Pyg. It has fantastic characterizations- the relationship between Dick and Damien is particularly well done, and it's probably my favorite mentor/student relationship in comics. The art is wonderful- Frank Quitely (my favorite comic artist) does the art for the first few issues, and although someone else takes over after that, it's still bright and colorful and really has a sense of action and movement. It tells good, fun, adventure stories that aren't more than a few issues long, but at the same time builds wonderfully elaborate mysteries and hides clues that are so much fun to try to piece together. At the end of every issue of this comic, I immediately want to read it again and I feel like waiting a month to see what happens next will be an eternity.

I pretty much can't gush about this series enough, so instead I'll go ahead and link you guys to the first 12 issues (http://www.mediafire.com/?2ozlzi5ywi2) so that you can download them. If you are not okay with downloading comics, but still want to read this and we are buds, let me know and I will buy you the first trade and send it to you. I am serious. I want to share this with other people so badly!

also this belongs in the latest purchases thread I guess, but I got a new Batman tshirt and a new Superman tshirt today. Hooray for the boys department!

edit: also tom, I don't know if you're a fan of the character, but I really recommend Green Arrow: Year One

05-13-2010, 01:09 AM

matt damon
05-13-2010, 01:44 AM
am i going to need to know about the birds of prey history? there were a lot of characters on that cover.

also, thanks for the offer, but i check thelongbox/rs pretty often throughout the day, so i'll find them eventually. thanks anyway! <33

but in case you were curious, i'm waiting for sword, x-factor forever, x-men forever, new x-men, and astonishing x-men xenogenesis.

05-13-2010, 01:48 AM
You sure? I am pretty sure some stuff you'd be looking for is up already (X-Factor Forever #3, X-Men Second Coming: Hellbound (1 of 3). They're here (http://boards.4chan.org/co/res/16725514#q16725514) if you want to comics hunt yourself.

There's definitely some stuff that will be a bit confusing if you're not familiar with Birds of Prey. But I mean, wiki + asking questions should get you through it fine if it's something you're interested in.

matt damon
05-13-2010, 01:56 AM
i think i'll definitely pick it up and read it. i'd like to get more into the dc world, tbh. one thing though: it has the brightest day title on it. am i gonna need to know about blackest night and then read brightest day as well?

they have x-factor forever 3? awesome. hellbound was last week. i have it, but it has these annoying watermark things on each page. it's like a link to a blog or something.

unrelated to comics but saying it anyway because i have your attention: tyra mentioned like, 4 or 5 past girls this episode. it made me squee because i love when she mentions previous girls. (she was mentioning girls who didn't win antm but have awesome careers now, in case you were curious.)

I can't say for sure that the comic won't tie into Brightest Day more in the future, but I don't think you'll have to follow along at all. The reason it has the Brightest Day logo on it is

12 characters come back from the dead at the end of Blackest Night, and one of them (Hawk) is in Birds of Prey now.

I'll grab Gods and Monsters. I was looking at a list of indie comics coming out in the future a few months back, I should check and see how many of them are out now. I need to branch out with my comics reading more. I just love my superheroes so much. ; ;

He's the type of character that needs the necessary sidekicks and interesting villains to make him at least more readable. It's Banner's tragic struggle with his human side and monster side that is what has drawn me to Hulk mostly.

Well, Peter David's Hulk wasn't really like that at all. Great stories can be told with the character, it's just that plenty of people are happy to read "hulk smash", and I'm sure it's a lot easier to write. I would say check out his Hulk run but he was on it forever tbh.

It's Conner Kent Superboy. He's a clone combining Superman and Lex Luthor's DNA. He has most but not all of Superman's powers and also has tactile telekinesis (bitches don't know about it). He's currently living in Smallville in an attempt to feel closer to Superman and further from Luthor.

He's one of my favorite comic characters- I have unwavering loyalty to any member of Young Justice. He had his own good comic series in the late 90's-early 2000's and his Adventure Comics issues have been fantastic. Seriously psyched for this.

I would post the picture of a pouch someone had Rob Liefeld draw for them but I don't have it saved on this computer. ; ;

Rob Liefeld was one of the leading figures in the big muscles, big guns extreme action with lots of blood movement that took off in the 90s. He was very popular but also terrible, and so two decades later for many people he only exists to be made fun of. I think people who are his fans now probably keep quiet about it because there probably aren't too many places where they can talk about him without being swamped by images of pouches and women with broken backs.

If we're showing nudity in this thread I am bringing out my Tony/Cap pics.

New comics day today. The first issue of the Zatanna ongoing starts today and I am pretty excited for it! I know Paul Dini has been dying to do this for a long time, and I love some of the art for it I've seen. Should be good stuff! The Legion ongoing is premiering too but I'm not sure if I'll like that or not.

If anybody is looking for comics this week, post what you're looking for and I'll post links if I find them. :)

Once you take your first trip to a comics store you're going to wind up with a pull list and there'll be no turning back, buster.

Zatanna was decent. It'll be fun to see where it goes. I always really like reading the backwards stuff with her for some reason. Did you grab it Rob? Paul Dini + magic seems relevant to your interests.

I liked Legion more than I thought I would. I think I'll stick with it beyond my compulsion to check out the first issue/episode of everything.

No point in reviewing my ongoings this week because I don't think any of you guys read them. ;)

matt damon
05-20-2010, 09:55 PM
no, i didn't. wasn't sure if i should since i didn't know if i needed to know the history etc. but i'll check it out. zatanna seems like a neat character.

also, i really want them to scan DV8 because it looked like an interest premise. and of course i need my second coming fix.

Marceline
05-20-2010, 10:00 PM
Zatanna's dad was a real magician too, he died saving Zatanna's life while they were fighting Sargon the Sorceror and The Beast. That's all you really need to know. Paul Dini tends to introduce a lot of new characters in his books, which makes them great for new readers.

Also worth noting is the fact that Paul Dini is completely obsessed with Zatanna. He is actually married to a female magician who is pretty much Zatanna's doppelganger.

matt damon
05-20-2010, 10:08 PM
that's pretty cool! i'm glad he was able to write for one of his favorite characters. i hope to be able to do that one of these days ;;

matt damon
05-20-2010, 11:20 PM
the spanish they use in zatanna is really REALLY awkwardly phrased.

there are some sections that are pretty dirty!!! like the sex club thing. also, zatanna is pretty cool! :)

Zatanna was on smallville a few episodes ago. She was alright but the actresses that show picks are really hit or miss not just in the depiction of the character they're playing but also acting ability,fighting skills, and look.

matt damon
05-21-2010, 05:08 AM
smallville has been pretty miss for a while.

Tom Toonami Tunes
05-21-2010, 05:13 AM
Agreed. It feels like it's just treading along costing on water. The whole point of the show was before superman Clark but now He's grown up, has all the powers, is working in the Daily Planet, Lois is in the picture, and it's not even in smallville anymore but because they insist on keeping Clark from being Superman when he pretty much already has everything in place it's kinda boring.

I'm pretty sure that's way Lex & Lana left, their actors got bored.

Marceline
05-21-2010, 10:39 PM
If I was the girl who played Lana, I'd want to leave to. The fans hated on her hardcore. From what I've seen her character was written pretty badly, but that's not the fault of the actress. She's adorable and seems so sweet and nice.

Pretty much the only way to get me to watch Smallville now is to have the JSA show up. Maybe this next season will be good since it's already confirmed it's the last, though!

HuggyB18

Aww Smallville sucks now that's lame,also has anyone heard anything about the Superman movie not Smallvilleman movie.

Marceline
05-21-2010, 11:35 PM
Christopher Nolan's producing and he and David S. Goyer are writing it. I have very high hopes for it. Nolan's talked about not really being interested in doing a Superman movie until he heard Goyer's idea for how he'd do it, and then he got really excited, which intrigues me. I think WB is aiming for a 2013 release.

I'm hoping for Darkseid to be the villain, because he's awesome, and I think Luthor's been done more than enough in the movieverse. I want this movie to make people excited about Superman because his public image isn't great right now and I love Clark. Whenever I'm having a really bad day I have this page in All-Star Superman that is my go-to. I want the world to love Supes like I do!

Are they restarting it like they did with Batman Begins?

Marceline
05-22-2010, 03:44 AM
Yes. It's a brand new, fresh Superman-verse with no connection to the other films, thank goodness. I like the original Superman movie a lot, but I don't get what they were thinking with the newest one.

Totally unrelated but LOOK AT HOW AWESOME THE FIRST PAGE OF BATMAN AND ROBIN IS WHY WON'T YOU GUYS LET ME BUY IT FOR YOU


TK
05-22-2010, 03:55 AM
haha, I would feel bad when I could just download it anyway.

I remember thinking the newest superman movie was OK, but that could be because I have never been a fan of the character in the first place.

matt damon
05-22-2010, 04:09 AM
i have a grudge against the newest superman movie because it took away the creative team and director from x-men 3 so instead of possibly having a great, awesome movie, we got a really crappy one. :( ;;

Marceline
05-22-2010, 04:10 AM
This probably sounds lame since I download so many comics, but I really like giving money to an industry that I care a lot about. ; ; I love all of my trades and usually buy hardcover or deluxe versions, it's just that downloading for monthly issues is so much nicer and more convenient. I love having scans of stuff to post panels from too- I have downloaded copies of almost every comic I own!

With the newest Superman, I was mostly bothered by the fact that it was a sequel to a movie from the 80's. I really don't get why they didn't reboot it. I was really bothered by the love triangle too because I thought Lois' husband was so likable. I wasn't a huge Superman fan when it came out either, though. I got converted maybe a year after I saw it. :)

is he really a win all situations dude

He's definitely not as overpowered as Phoenix, or even something like Sentry. I just don't see anything particularly cool or likable about him as a character.

I will get to work on this. Let me look for good examples and comics for people to read.

He's definitely not a win all situations guy- he has failed HUGELY at times, and I'm not just talking about when he died. He also has some glaring weaknesses- kryptonite and magic- and his rogues gallery is designed to exploit this.

The most powerful character in the DC universe is probably The Spectre, but I don't think he's written as boring either. His stories are set up more as battles of ethics and fights to hold onto his humanity rather than good vs. evil type stories.

I will have the thread for you in the next couple of days.

Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing

Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not
Folks said his family were all dead
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going

Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."

Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

Whose Superman?

Tom Toonami Tunes

Whose Superman?

He's the last son of a dying world who was sent to earth to conquer it but he was hit on the head when he was but a lad and taken in by an elderly couple who raised him as their own.

As he grew his powers increased which include Flight, speed, strength, energy blast, and the martial arts training he mastered under his sensei master Roshi.

After the tragic death of his father he set out on a journey to the west with a blue haired inventor named Lois Pewterschmidt Lane, a cowardly pig named Piglet, a piratish Rogue (or Rogueish Pirate) with an X shaped scar named Gambit Miroku Kaji Falco Lando Sanosuke Chad Sexington Solo Roberts, & his imaginary shape shifting cat Hobbs.

On his quest he met many adversaries who's obtrusiveness put him through great adversity. Some of his greatest foes being:
-Zod The general of the Saiyans of the planet Krypton and his 2 lackies Radish and Goldberg
-Freeza a ruthless power monger from the planet Apocalypse
-Mr. Data who was build by Supes� old enemy the Salvation Army to wreak vengeance upon his family by means of chagrin� his L.A.Z.A.
-Kaptian Knuckles who�s blind lust for Candy Island drove him to create Bibady Bobidy Boo the pink saypuft man that can turn humans into candy.

Anyone read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? I'm into the black dossier right now and just read the 4 page story With Wooster & Jeeves and H.P. Lovecraft when I'm done with the book I'm gonna look up just how many novels andshort stories Alan Moore crammed into these books.

Marceline
05-30-2010, 07:12 AM
I've read League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, though not super recently! It is pretty spectacular stuff. If you're enjoying it, I'd really recommend Planetary. It's not the same sort of thing by any stretch, but it sort of has the same sort of feel as League, but it's with mostly superheroes rather than characters from old books, although some unexpected characters do pop up. Anyway, it's a great read.

also I am pretty sure Miracleman is my favorite thing Alan Moore has ever done. I can upload it all if people are interested since it's sadly not in print.

This is one of my favorite comics of all time. I hope now that Marvel's bought the rights to the character they'll release new trades of it. The old trades are out of print and are a fortune on ebay. ; ; I'd rather money I spend on this stuff go to the comic companies anyways.
