OMG tell me if that's real...
|
Dunno if the poster is legit, but the movie title and it being in Japan are real. I think it is supposed to be released sometime in 2013.
|
I just watched X-Men First class again.
What a great movie. Fassbender and McAvoy just kill it. |
One other thing about X-Men First class...
I think it makes X-men: Last Stand a much better movie. It drives a lot of those themes from that movie home. |
Yeah, they didn't go that or anything but it fits like a glove.

Ms Marvel Graduates to Captain Marvel:

The design is blah, she needs long hair.
|
One of the things that bug me with Marvel is how often characters will change hero/villain names and costumes.
Pick one. Stick with it. You can tweak it, but largely leave it alone. You can't make them iconic if they are gonna continually change. |
What the fuck is that? Why?
Leave Captain Marvel alone. Have no idea why they repeatedly try and bring back Captain Marvel. It always sucks, and is nowhere near as good as the original. |
....so Carol's now a butch dyke? Well...ok.
|
Saw it coming.

Kelly Sue Deconnick is writing it, I don't care about the haircut I'm chexking it out.

Hello gentlemen. Got the Marvel subscription service that I'm trying out for this month. Been reading like a madman. Catching up on all the Civil War stuff, trying to get into Black Panther, and and in the middle of New Avengers (2010).
You seem like experienced Marvel folk. What should I get started on? I'm open minded and will probably be into most things. |
|
Hey Narc, check out the Taskmaster miniseries from a couple years ago.

I totally bought those on your recommendation and they are awesome
|
Figgy, so start from the Vol. 3 2008-2010 series and then move up from there?
|
If you want to laugh your ass off you should read the entire run to date of the deadpool comics that started in secret invasion
|
Nevermind Figs, I found the series that you're talking about to start from. Marvel digital subscription service has them all on there. Not all of them in the newest series, but all of the X-Force from the 2008-2010 series. Read the first book and I'm hooked already.
|
I have been catching up on my Marvel comics since I was waaay behind. Figured I'd catch up since I can't read DC right now out of anger.
I have not been impressed by X-Force. I can see how people would enjoy it, but it ain't my cup o' tea. I have read up to just before the "Second Coming" storyline. The best X-Title is definitely X-Factor. You should grab the "Madrox" miniseries, and then start reading X-Factor (v3?). They went to like issue 50 or something and then renumbered it to 200. |
Pretty much the opposite for me. Like you, I can see how people really like X-Factor, but outside of Batman, I've never been into detective stuff.
Love Black Ops stories and characters tho, so X-force is right up my alley. |
I like Uncanny X-Force more than X-Force (2008). XF 2008 was great, but Uncanny X-Force is much more entertaining.
Amazing Spider-Man has been great since Slott started his run in issue 648, I think. Hickman's Fantastic Four/Future Foundation is great. Brubaker's Captain America is usually always really good, especially the pre renumbered 600 arcs. |
The Venom series with Flash as Venom has been very cool
|
also the art in the carnage mini series is amazing

Secret Avengers isn't quite as good as New, imo.
As good as the first x-force series is, uncanny is even better. |
I have just finished reading Seige. Gonna check out The Thanos Imperative now. And Realm of Kings before that, since I never read it.
|
Seige was crap imo. Thanos Imperative was great, but I'm a bit biased in that Thanos is one of my favorite characters.
|
Siege felt rushed. Like it started, a bunch of people die for seemingly no reason then it was over like that.

Ok, the fact he was begging off from a knife is pretty :lol: and loyal to the comics.
|
That clip converted me, they did not market any of that humor. I'm on board.
|
I'm still not really all that excited, but I am excited... y'know?
|
It's not Avengers or Dark Knight Rises 'put me in a coma and wake me up when it opens' kind of exciting but I'm warmer to it now than a few months ago.
|
That. That is awesome.
|
New Avengers has been pretty sexy lately with this Norman Osborn/ Dark Avengers arc. I know he already tried Dark Avengers once, but I can't help how fucking cool it is. It's also a little bit different cause he's got spies and such lurking around.
Gonna start FF probably today. Gotta pick up some things at the comic book store and after I finish those, gonna go into the Marvel catalog and have my way with FF. Don't know how more people don't have the Marvel digital subscription. It is pretty fucking boss, to be honest. They haven't configured their app for the subscription service yet, so that's a bit annoying that I can't use my subscription on my phone or tablet, but I'm content on my computer for now. Much easier than trying to pirate everything, it's at an affordable price, and I just feel better about paying for things in general. |
How much is it/where is it/how extensive is it?
|
Marvel.com. I think it is like 8.99 a month or you can pay like $50 bucks for the year and it grants access to every digital comic they have online (Which is like over 10,000 at this point and they add more everyday). I think they may not give you access to comics that have been released in the last 2 or 3 months or something, but I don't mind that. I don't do it for the new stuff, I do it for all of the other series that would be difficult to obtain at this point. Pretty good deal IMO.
|
Also, just picked up AvX #1 and managed to get the variant Wolvy/Cap cover. Pretty pumped.
|
Does the digital subscription include the non-616 and non-ultimate stuff like Criminal? Marvel and DC have a lot of amazing books that are not related to their main shit. A lot of them aren't even hero/villain shit at all.
|
It's a work in progress and there's a missing series and even gaps in some series but it seems like they're probably going to release alot of the non-superhero stuff. They have some of the Ozma of Oz stuff and Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz stuff. Not seeing Criminal. For the most part, it seems to be the Superhero content, but it at least seems like they're trying to make an effort to include the other stuff.
|
I basically pirate everything, and if there is a book I like, I buy the trades.

Captain America 2 - April 4th 2014
|
No director yet?
I need some more substance in the sequel. |
There is a list, I'll post it if it isn't here by the time I'm back.
|
I hope Bucky comes back.
|
He's not dead. Read Winter Solider #1.
|
I meant in the movie sequel.
|
Oh ok, yeah. I hope he's the Winter Solider by the end or in it..

|
AvX #1 was alright, might get pick up issue 2 and if it's good might wait for the trade for a cheap price on amazon.
|
Loved the final panel.
|
|
Sales?
|
There are a million ways they could have put these two teams at odds. Sales doesn't factor into it.
|
Contradictory message aside, it is a likely scenario. Phoenix is a problem (especially with 5 bars), and the only odd thing is that the Avengers didn't take initiative beforehand.
|
Yeah, that's the other thing. Between Rachel and Jean the potential for another phoenix catastrophe has existed for years, and NOW the Avengers are interested.
It's like the WWE creative team wrote this. Fucking phoenix. Such a tired concept anyway. |
I miss her. It. Whatever it is.
|
TRUE STORY
Never cared that much for the whole Dark Phoenix Saga. Can't really explain why. Maybe because I never really cared for Jean Grey, so a really long storyline focused around her just didn't really interest me? I dunno. |
I did like the way Grant Morrison wrote Jean Grey, though. She had a strength, and a subtley wicked edge to her, that was different from previous takes on the character. Made her more interesting to me.
|
Endsong was alright.
|
Thoughts on this? Lazy writing or something legit?

People literally blaming the character of wolverine, instead of bad writers. |
Bad writing sounds about right . Who wrote it anyway?

The reason for them being interested NOW over before is because of the Cable situation in XSanction. |
Having just read up on Children's Crusade, sounds like retcon central. Really hate when that happens.
|
The Phoenix has killed billions.
Going after the witch was also as much about what she could do as it was about what she did do. Both Jean and Wanda were driven mad by an outside force. Both committed atrocities while under the influence of said force. |
This has actually been a problem at marvel for a while now.
I remember when the current volume of Avengers started. I was excited because I wanted to see how the Thor/Iron Man relationship would play out. After all, last time they met, Thor made it clear that teaming up against the skrulls did not mean they were friends again. And before that, Thor bitch smacked the the red and gold off him. But no. No tension, no rebuilding, they're just buddies again, as if nothing had ever happened between them. Like, what the fuck are they smoking over there, that they think this is not noticeable? |
While I'm on a roll here, let's talk about The Boys. Yeah it's not marvel, but we don't have a third party comics thread, so fuck it. Latest issue came out, and it concludes the main storyline of the book. I assume the last few issues will be epilogue stuff that focuses on where everyone goes from here.
SPOILER: show Fuck off Ennis. |
I've kind of lost track of The Boys. Should really get back to it.
|
Yeah. Kinda stopped after it went to the new publisher. Did not think it was so great anyways. Just Ennis being all "Ennis-y".
|
Lost track pretty early then, since it went to Dynamite after like 6 issues and it's now up into around the 60s.
|
Nah, it went later than that. I remember reading three or four story arcs.
|
Ok, nevermind. Checked my extensive files on the matter. Last issue I read was #18. And it did indeed switch publishers after #6.
|
Yeah, it's a decent book. Ennis is indeed very ennis-y here. Very preachy at times. (no pun intended)
|
Variety reporting that Bin Kingsley is close to being cast as the villain for Iron Man 3. Dunno who he's playing, but reportedly it's not Mandarin.
|
That's Sir Ben Kingsley to you.
|
Don't see who it could be besides Mandarin. I guess it could be Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo, but we just got the "evil russian copies stark tech" story in IM2.
Would love to see Ghost, but it doesn't fit the actor. Or at least his age. |
Already did Dynamo in 2. Hmmm....MODOK? Geeze I don't know.
|
MODOK's more of a Cap villain anyway.
|
It could be "not the Mandarin" but a dude who is pretty much the Mandarin, but not as "racist" or whatever.
We did have the whole "League of the Ten Rings" thing from the first movie still there. They didn't do anything with it in the second movie, but they could indeed do something in this one. |
Or they could be lying their asses of.
Ben fits for a Manderin look, hard to believe he is not playing him. Not to mention at this point in the series Manderin's time should come - he's too iconic an Iron Man villain. Then again, a new creation for the movie-verse is also likely. |

Whiplash was in 2. Yes, it was supposedly a combination of Whiplash and Dynamo, but it was pretty much just a russian whiplash. Could still do something with the actual Dynamo armor. Problem is, Iron Man has a shit rogues gallery. Afew Asian stereotypes, a few guys in armor, and a few evil CEO's. That's about it. That's why I like Ghost. He's one of the more interesting ones. |
|
The bigger deal is how far would an Ultimate/616 crossover go. Has that ever happened?
|
Never to my knowledge.

|
Anyone else kind of expecting them to port Ultimate Gwen Stacy over into the 616 Universe, so she'll be there in time for the movie?
|
God I hope not. Spider-man has actually been good again, for first time since the early 90's.
|
Speaking of, I'm quite intrigued as to how the Ends of the Earth is gonna pan out. Doc Ock has always been one of my favorite villains, and I'm really excited to see what's gonna happen now that he and the Sinister Six have stopped screwing around.
|
Wasn't there an interaction between ultimate and 616 Reed Richards in marvel zombies? Or a prelude to it?
|
Googled it. I guess marvel zombies has people from ultimate and 616 show up, but not together.

I was going to point that out, but I wanted to avoid coming across as a massive nerd.
Thanks for taking the fall Mitch. :love: |
That whole thing with ultimate ff didn't actually involve 616. It was Zombie Reed pretending to be a normal healthy reed (which looks exactly like the 616 reed) so that ultimate reed would open a portal for the zombies to get more food.
