THERE CAN BE NO CIVIL WAR IF HALF THE PARTICIPANTS ARE OWNED BY OTHER STUDIOS!

They don't have to be exact. In fact, an exact adaptation would be terrible.

By Phase 3 they'll have a lot of heroes.

No way Cap 3 is gonna be Civil War.

Those movies are Cap focused with a little side action and Civil War was not like that. You can't make a Civil War movie all about Cap with some gymnastics from Black Widow.

Yeah you really can.

No, unless you totally change the concept of said Civil War.

Nah, Sixx is right. You either have to change the solo movies to include a lot more heroes, or drastically change the scale of Civil War.

If I had to pick, I'd go with the latter, as seeing all the heroes on screen together should be an avengers thing. Lessens the impact when they are all together in the solo movies.

If I really had my choice, I'd say fuck civil war, cause it's dumb.

Yeah, that's what I was saying... It literally can't be a close adaptation. Pretty much the only thing I would take from it is the idea that the government wants heroes to register.

Really? Marvel Comics. This is comical, grown adults reading childrens super-hero books. Why not grow up and read an actual book for adults not children.

Y'know what? I never thought about it like that. I think you're right. You've changed my life. Thank you.

Clerk, are you supposed to be edgy?

That's so edgy it goes back to being a soft as fuck troll.

I'll reread War and Peace now. Thank you.

Enjoying Death of Wolverine so far. He's badass without the healing factor, not being the first one to get dropped in a fight and all.

Wow, Captain Citrus, you're a fag.

That's the kid-centric line. All is forgiven.

Deadpool movie a go for 2016. We can only assume that leaked test footage did the trick.

Fantastic Four also pushed back, but no one cares.

Shot in like 3 months.

Probably need another 10 for CGI now.

God, vol. 3 of Savage Wolverine is awful.

Now he's talking to elephants and hippopotamuses (hippopotami?).

It was a bygone conclusion but Bryan Singer is confirmed to direct X-Men Apocalypse.

Foregone conclusion, surely?

Everybody knew it to be the case, let's go with that.

So is Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool?

That would be another foregone conclusion.

that's what I figured.

Pulp heroes have sure come a long way.....

Scroll up a bit, guy's already here.

Dunno, is that like a Florida sponsored comic book?

I know he's already there. This is a different image. Yeah, it is some promotion with some Florida Orange company or something....

www.captaincitrus.com

Fucking look at his hair.

He looks like a trimmed pineapple.

Hate those shitty sponsored comic books. There was once Avengers sponsored by some shitty Home Depot knockoff and the Avengers went on some mission and their handyman defeated the villains with a multitool or some bullshit like that.

OK, sorry, that wasn't Avengers, but Justice League.

Remember when Spider-Man tied in with Captain Crunch?

Remember when it turned out Hulk is angry cause he doesn't sleep comfortably?

Figures Florida has something to do with that guy.

Days of Future's Past home release will have a 'Rogue Cut' that not only returns the cut scene featuring Rogue, but other director's cuts featuring other mutants.

Ralph Macchio wrote Captain Citrus...the Karate Kid?

Different guy, same name.

who would win a comic book fight:

Krypto vs. Lockjaw

@Lock Jaw

Ace the Bathound

Krypto. He is the Superman of dogs.

I'm a little surprised nobody's commented on the Kirby settlement.

I'm still rather amazed they were able to settle at all. I kinda figured this was going to be one of those legal battles that goes on forever, like the Siegel estate vs DC over the rights to Superman.

I'm sorry I'm just not digging Onslaught Skull.

theres some really wild stuff going on behind the scenes with avengers and new avengers. Theyre building up a 8 months thing and its a very good story that they have going.

I haven't read Uncanny Avengers in a while, where they first cameoed this Onslaught red skull thing, but it was reeeeaaaaallly good up to where I got. Same writer as the Black Ops X-force books which were fucking phenomenal, and since he's writing this crossover, it's got a chance to be good.

Also, stating next week I'm gonna give that Marvel Unlimited service a shot. I'll let ya'll know it's worth the 9.99

Here's some rumors...

While Avengers 3 may not split into two movies, there is now talk of a huge project - larger than an Avengers film, that would include characters from the movies and Agents of Shield.

Rumors, though.

Think Sony is gonna budge on Spidey and piggy back off the MCU?

There are also rumours MCU are in talks to get the rights to Spiderman.

I just read the Cap comics where he loses the super-soldier serum and thought it was pretty cheap, some random new guy shows up and shoots shit out of his chest that just sucks it out.

And I'm not digging Falcon as the new Cap so far, gonna have to see more of this than just the last Cap vol. 7 issue to really say.

Has anyone else been reading Ms. Marvel?

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...psf717971a.png

....because I kind of love it.

Hate the new Ms. Marvel cause she's just pretty much Mr Fantastic. Shitty powers.

Just read the Spiderman that came out today, team-up with her and it was awful.

Oh and this AXIS event looks pretty good so far. Read all the "Road to AXIS" comics and the first part of the core series and it might be really cool.

Racist.

Clearly, you meant "gross and racist".

I like her character and design but yeah her powers are goofy. Not everybody can pull off Dhalsim/Mr. Fantastic and still be taken seriously.

Well, it's largely a comedy book, so I doubt being taken seriously is that big of a concern. I'd also say she's more on the Plastic Man end of the spectrum of stretchy-powers, which isn't all that different from your Mister Fantastics or Dhalsims of the world, just a little more creative with the stuff she transforms into.

On the subject of characters than can and should always be taken seriously, though, I've started reading Magneto's solo book. And it's pretty hardcore-- he's like the mutant version of the Punisher now.

Solo Magneto is fucking awesome. Wait till you get to "Road to AXIS", these are like issues 9-10.

Ok, so maybe I'm not trying out Marvel Unlimited.

It's one of those things where they advertise it as 9.99 a month, but you have to pay for like 8 months up front.

So fuck that.

Age of Ultron toys reveal Hulk's new team shorts:

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...5tvbbjyllx.png

what. why.

The last "event" I bought was X-Men vs Avengers, only been buying Superior/Amazing-Spider-Man, Scarlet Spider and Deadpool comics. I picked up new Captain America #25 for the hell of it and Avengers/X-Men: Axis. Didn't read Cap yet but enjoyed Avengers/X-Men: Axis just unsure if it's worth 5 dollars an issue.

Holy shit, is that how much they are now?

Glad I rip torrents and buy trades then.

Also, I know it's not Marvel but...

METAL AS FUCK

Most regular sized books are $3.99- anything 40 to 48 pages is $4.99 now. For some reason most of the main Axis books/Avengers "8 months in the future" books were $4.99. Uncanny Avengers #25 was 5 bucks, Cap #25 was 5 bucks. It seems like 40% of the books are $4.99.

I mean I get 15% off everything at Forbidden Planet NYC but still, that's why I only get Amazing and Deadpool regularly.

Just found out those two gay X-force books were cancelled in may, and they went back to having a black ops X-force book. Awesome. Awesome to the max.

Fucking Bishop being a good guy again was so stupid. "Hey guys, it's okay. I'm good now because...uh...vampires. Yeah."

Check out my Original Sin torrent, bitch.

Fucking downloaded each fucking issue one by one, then decided I'm a nice person and uploaded that shit as a whole.

So apparently the alternate-universe Gwen Stacy version of Spider-Woman from Edge of Spider-Verse was enough of a hit that she's going to get her own ongoing series, set to launch in February (link). No word if she's going to stay in her own universe or make her way over to Marvel 616 or what.

I like the costume.

New X-Men/Guardians crossover comic series "The Black Vortex" shall launch 2015, the same year as the new Guardians cartoon.

Me too. The issue she appeared in was pretty good, too, so I think Spider-Gwen's got some real potential. Though I kinda hope she gets stuck in 616 Marvel so she can interact with Spider-Man and the rest of the 616 characters.

Well if Spidey-2009 gets to stick around.

Also:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mLAU6jF0qwY?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And Marvel finds a way to get Gwen Stacy back in 616.

Wonder how Normon's gonna deal with her.

prolly just rape her again

It would be interesting having Pete deal with a new Gwen, who also has powers.

And I wonder; did her Peter get killed by her Goblin?

Spider-Gwen and Silk, in 2015

http://i61.tinypic.com/11b3wjm.jpg

http://i62.tinypic.com/xn7mld.jpg

I read the issue, nope.

I remember somebody saying if Peter wasn't Spider-Man he'd be a supervillain of some sort all the same.

I read up about Silk. She has a Tarantula (DC) Mary Sue vibe about her in the way she trounced Peter hard enough that I think the writer had something to say. But overall she's kinda cool.

It was a cool read, wish he had more than a page or two but still an interesting twist. Silk is cool. I like how they connected her to Ezekiel and whole totem thing. I'm I love all the progress in Slotts Spider-Man and I'm loving that he's doing Spider-Verse.

The last issue was fun.

That looks like a fun take.

Robert Downey Jr. apparently confirmed to have joined the cast of Captain America 3. Looking more and more like some sort of Civil War will kick off.

Will you look at that. Who'd a thought.

And we might as well consider that Iron Man 4, he's not doing an extra.

I hope that RDJ doesn't "take over" Cap's own movie. Winter Soldier was sweet because of the espionage/spy/conspiracy feel to it.... RDJ doesn't really "fit in" with that tone.

Civil War is inherently political. Iron Man's own series dealt with those themes in its own way. I'd say he'll be perfectly fine.

Cap 3 itself may be the catalyst to Civil War, and the event will play out over several movies (into Avengers 4). I imagine Agents of Shield and Daredevil will work off it as well.

Hell why not have Ghost Rider get dragged back to earth with Civil War as well as Dr. Strange and the Defenders? Possibilities are endless.

No Nic Cage no go.

So, Wolverine is dead.

It was a good story, though I'm not sure about the ending.

Also, wonder how long he'll stay dead.

When's the next big universe shaking cross over event? Next month? Back by then.

It's called Axis and it already started.

Second issue of the core series came out today. It's also in Captain America, Magneto, Uncanny Avengers and Loki: Agent of Asgard.

He'll stay dead until Disney gets the film rights to the mutants.

When he murdered his own son, it kind of ruined the character for me.

I was shocked he didn't do it way earlier.

Still, Daken is fine now.

Also:

Yeah, didn't read that one.

I dunno, it's just that as many bad things as Wolverine has done, he's at least always had a code that's kept him somewhat honorable. He was on the precipice, but he hadn't crossed the line so much that he couldn't still be considered a hero. Killing Daken ruined that at least for me. Daken wasn't even pure evil. He was a bad person for sure, but he wasn't so far gone that he couldn't eventually redeem himself.

And yeah, I know that future Wolverine told him Daken would kill all the students if he let him live but that's stupid too. How many glimpses have we gotten of a future where Genesis becomes Apocalypse and kills everyone? That kind of thing happens in comics all the time. "Oh if you don't kill this dude a horrible future will take place" But they always find a different way to avoid that future because that's what keeps them heroes. Even if they're not the most virtuous of heroes like X-force.

Also, the fact that Daken is alive again doesn't make the fact that Logan killed him any easier to swallow for me.

So who do you think is the female Thor?

My bet is on either Frigga or Angela.

Or valkerie

Or an unknown woman who is worthy of the power of Thor.
