What about the one with steve rogers holding iron man’s body
That is a What If? as well. It’s basically What If Iron Man Died Instead of Cap?.
Yup. Marvel was just fucking with us with both covers.
After reading SI xmen#2 and uncanny 215…Cyke has jumped up on my list of beastly super hero’s. Dude is the Captain America of mutants.
Anyone picked the new Sentry?
spoilers?
Was the design of Sentinel in MvC2 based of any particualr Sentinel? Or kinda just modified for the game?
We should have a Random/Stupid Marvel Comics question thread. Those are always fun.
It’s kind of like a loose - and I do mean loose - interpretation of the Mark V Sentinel.
War Machine: Weapon of SHIELD is TOO GOOD! GET THIS BOOK DAMN YOU!
My homie, Rhodey!
[details=Spoiler]Issue starts with a recap of events that happened to Tony in the Savage Lands and Rhoedy leaving Camp Hamond. As Rhodey is following the Beacon he intercepts a Skrull battle ship and fires at it with his weapons severely damaging it. He then confronts a Skrull with the powers of Nova, Moondragon and CometMan, which he eventually defeats.
The Beacon Rhoedy followed led him to a satellite that isn’t integrated with Stark Tech, but Rhodey can use. He meeds a former member of Force Works, Suzi who informs him of a recording from Tony. As they listen to it, Rhodey is informed that his armor can integrate with Stark Tech BUT his armor is a combination of other technologies including some from Stane’s company way back.
As Rhodey suspects Suzi for being a Skrull she informs him that some Skrull battle ships have found them. To fight back she leads Rhoedy to a console where he integrates with the satellite to fight off the battle ships.
The satellite begins to ‘transform’.[/details]
Marvel Apes #2 was good, not gonna put it in spoiler tags to encourage you to pick it up-
Marty meets up with the Ape-verse’s Invaders who finish off Doc Ook, then is informed that Reed is working on a machine that’ll return him and Dr. Fiona to the 616-verse but it’ll take 2 days to complete it.
When the machine is ready, Marty tries to test it but it doesn’t work, Cap comes in and confronts Marty as his plan is revealed; he wants to travel to the 616-verse and conquer it. Reed crashes into the lab and tries to kill Cap with a wooden stake, but gets killed instead. Cap and the Invaders are then revealed to be vampires.
Marty and Fiona get KOed and Cap prepares for invading the 616-verse, but it seems Speedball and some other heroes have plans to stop him.
Pretty good issue, but I hope they explain the vampire thing.
Mighty Avengers 18 wasn’t all that interesting, unless you like to see Fury being the badass mofo we like.
Captain Britain #5 kicked all kinds of ass-
Blade beeotch!!
[details=Spoiler]Blade joins the team, Knight meets up with Faiza’s parents and explains what is going on, as Blade is being briefed on their HQ, MI13 receive a message from Cap. Midlands who found one of the Monsters that escaped from Avalon in Burmingham. As the team gathers together in a helicopter, Blade stabs Spitfire with a wooden stake! Yeah that ending was rather surprising!
Other stuff-
UNION JACK BABY! Too bad he won’t join the team, that would’ve been badass.
Looks like Blade has a synthetic hand now, when’d he get it?
During the day Spitfire can be in human form while at night a vampire.
Seems Brian’s powers alter to the point that at one time he can be very weak, the other pretty strong.[/details]
Uncanny X-Men 502
is very hard to get into with Greg Land being the artists >_<
Spoiler
So Logan, Nightcrawler and Karma are fighting some Hellfire Cult goons, Dazzler visits Pixie in the hospital she’s staying, Cyke is interrogating one of the Cult’s guys they captured with a mix of needles and Optic Blasts and finds out about the Cult’s HQ, issue ends with Cyke and team attacking them, and it seems that Red Queen has the same face as Emma O_o
Guardians of the Galaxy #5-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
[details=Spoiler]THERE HAS TO BE AN EXPLANATION WHY COSMO IS KEEPING THOSE SKRULL CHICKS IN THAT QUARTERS, HE CANNOT HAVE BETRAYED KNOWHERE!
Drax wanting to blow everyone up is a bad idea, he’s too badass to think up of something like that!
I have a feeling Gamora was replaced as a Skrull while she was recovering.
Still…I don’t think the Skrulls have any plans on invading Knowhere unless they want to extract the knowledge it contains[/details]
Herc 121
In a nutshell
[details=Spoiler]Amazon leader kidnaps Cho, wants to have sex with him then kill him, Herc about to go save him but Namor interrupts and confronts him.
I really am not liking some of the comical stuff in this book, specifically how they’re treating Ares as a jealous bastard.[/details]
I go mixed feelings for
SI Thor #2
[details=Spoiler]Some good action but the Asgardians getting GGPOed by an ugly-ass bitch Super Skrull just feels…wrong.
Next issue Thor lays the smackdown on the stupid, stupid Skrulls[/details]
Young X-Men 6
Guess whose joining next issue
Spoiler
Starts off pretty dull until they start talking about Graymalkin, after some tests Beast confirms that Gray is in Xaiver’s great grandfather; he is over 200 years old! The rest of the issue deals with the formation of the new team.
EDIT:
Ghost Rider 27 has
KUNG FU NUNS!
[details=Spoiler]Don’t let that put you off, this issue was good. So Sara and Johnny arrive at the Caretaker’s place only to find him severly wounded and near death. Johnny gets to deal with Blackout, while Sara has to go and prevent Ketch from destroying all records of the previous Ghost Riders. As the records or books that contain the GR knowledge is being burned all the knowledge in them gets passed on to her.
Johnny finds Ketch who uses a door to reach Tibet. Sara tells Johnny to follow him and that she has become the new Caretaker.
Good issue but could’ve gone with some VISIBLE action :/[/details]
I read it last night. Pretty good. Does a good job of capturing the Silver Age writing style. The art is okay, silver-age-esque. Not anything great, but it is a very well done silver age story. I’d recommend it if you dig silver age stuff.
Blade got the hand from shield during civil war after registering to replace the one he bit off.
Was that in his last series?
BTW Warlock did u read GotG?
Nope. I quit buying comics cold turkey because it’s too much money. I haven’t bought one in over 4 months now IIRC. I’m close as fuck to breaking that just for gotg though. Maybe I’ll have someone pick up those issues so i won’t get tempted.
or you could “preview” them. newborn is making me stop buying as many comics. i haven’t even gotten deadpool #1 yet. :sad::sad::sad::sad:
Of course I preview them. I never said I stopped reading.
I wonder would it be his sister?
Yes Issue # 5
Issue 2 drops next Wednesday BTW.
i know. i will get it next week
Enjoyed the latest Amazing Spiderman. It is definitely tying up a lot of loose threads that have been dangling in the air since Brand New Day started.
War Machine was okay. How did he get the way he did? And how come in the movie he is in the Air Force but he refers to himself as Marine (Ooh Rah, devil dog)?
I’ve never read a comic book in my life but i just started to read the whole civil war series last week and it’s pretty good. Any recommendations of what i should read after i’m done?
