that is great news. The inhumans tie in is bar none the best tie-in hands down. A:TI and BP gets their fair share too but The inhumans need their own book.
Thor will reach its #600 issue in January (it will actuly change to 600 to celebrate) and Stan Lee will co-write it
i was wondering where you guys buy your comics? also do you guys collect marvel cards?
Pick up my comics in comics shops around New York, mostly Midtown Comics.
After getting all of the cards for Jim Lee’s X-Men card series in the 90s I gave up buying Marvel cards for good. Don’t know about nowadays but back then it was a pain in the ass finding the last five cards I needed… I have that entire series in a protective black binder and all of the cards are in sleeves. LOL I went freaking bonkers looking for that last Gambit Hologram card…
i download, i mean buy my comics in san francisco. sorry about that Sano
Is JMS coming back to write it? When did the last Thor come out? 4-5 months ago?
Yeah its JMS and Stan Lee
Hope its OK to post this one here as well, in case anyone isn’t reading the SI Thread, but…
I’m calling it, Mutant Zero from Avengers Initiative is
Mutant 0
Spoiler
Wanda Maximov

Thor #11
Spoiler
So this issue was basicaly one year after the death of Steve Rogers and Thor summoned his spirit and the had a little chat but no worries Steve is not going to come back, Thor asked him if he wants to be avenged but Steve said no
after reading Criminal’s Coward and Lawless what i need to pick up next in this greatness
Lot’s of good stuff from Marvel this week-
Nova #18; FUCK YEAH!
[details=Spoiler]Quasar and Nova help Darkhawk take down more Skrulls, the Worldmind has indeed come back online and is using PEGASUS’ systems to help out the team.
As he searches through the stuff that in PEGASUS’ storage, he actives Death’s Head!
While the threat of the Skrulls attack inside the building had been defeated, there still remains that Skrull attack ship outside.
Weak and exhausted and unable to continue fighting (plus Quasar used up a lot of energy and had to go back to the flask which was used to reboot Worldmind), just when all hope seems lost, the attack ship is destroyed.
…and to Richard and everyone’s disbelief; they were aided by members of the Nova Corps![/details]
Herc 122 was hilariously entertaining, but didn’t like Namor’s characterization in it
SI X-men #3
[details=Spoiler]So Emma manages to defeat the Skrulls’ psychic inhibitor/shield thingy, and the rest of the X-Men manage to cause more damage to the Skrulls invading San Fran.
Nightcrawler tells Beast about the sphere and using it, Beast manages to find a way to defeat the Skrulls; the Legacy Virus.
Didn’t like the art much, but it was on overall OK issue.[/details]
SI Thor #3
[details=Spoiler]Blake turns into Thor and starts laying the smackdown on the ugly Skrull bitch.
Along with the other Asgardians he manages to have her drop Bill’s hammer.
Bill uses his Hammer’s power and together with Thor deliver the final blow; Thor drops Asgard atop of him, ugly Skrull bitch and Bill!
…but that’s just the half of it! Thinking their mighty lord had fallen in battle, Bill and Thor LIFT UP ASGARD!
The ugly Skrull bitch is dead and everything is back to normal.
Good issue, though really the Asgardians getting their @$$es handed to them by a fat ugly Skrull bitch? Ridiculous. [/details]
X-Force #8, guess who’s back!
[details=Spoiler]Issue starts with the team (now consisting of Elixer, Archangel, Logan & X-23) in Japan where they pinpointed Vanisher. Logan and X-23 are in a building with X-23 aiming a sniper at Vanisher should things not go as they planned.
X-23 kept telling Logan that she doesn’t trust Warren, or rather Archangel, but Logan tells to not trouble herself with it.
Anyway Warren tries to talk to Vanisher, but when Warren sees that talking won’t do; hello Archangel!
Logan and X-23 leave their position to help catch Vanisher, but Vanisher escapes and Logan is shot at by another Sniper!
X-23 finds the sniper to be Domino!
Domino joins the team as she too is after the Vanisher. She informs Logan and co. of 4 safehouses that Vanisher is using in Japan and the team splits up to try and catch him at each location.
After barely escaping Logan, Archangel and X-23, he comes across Domino and Elixer. Elixer pulls a Kenshiro on Vanisher (if only the Yost & Kyle knew about that famous catchphrase it would’ve been perfect) and that’s when he flees again.
The team then waits for Vanisher to come to them. Vanisher goes to a hospital to find out what happened to him and teleports to where Logan and co. are. Elixer gave Vanisher a tumor in brain which only he can heal.
Vanisher tells them he doesn’t have the Virus, but Logan tells him: “Wrong answer, bub”
Issue ends with Warpath about to fight some mythical bear at his brother’s grave.
Oh and Rahne is still mentally unstable.
Overall kickass issue, the team is delivering. [/details]
Marvel Apes #4
[details=Spoiler]OK, so Fiona si persuaded to finish building the portal so that Blood and the other heroes can go there and conquer it.
As Fiona is about to activate the machine, Cap and his outsiders attack.
They succeed in defeating Blood and his vampire cronies as Marty and Fiona return to their world taking with them Speedball!
Blood bit Speedball, the heroes decide that he should go with Marty to his world and find a cure.
During the fight, Blood, Namor and Torch die, but Bucky is caught by Spidey. In addition Ape X dies killing Blood and as a result of their fight, the Portal is destroyed.
Days later Speedball is cured of his Vampirism and is sent to Ironman to be a member of the Avengers.[/details]
Marvel 1985 #6
[details=Spoiler]Galactus starts building the machine that drains energy from planets to feed him, and then Toby arrives with the Marvel Heroes. Looks like they cut out him meeting them and went straight to here.
Anyway, the heroes take down the bad guys, then Toby’s dad figures out WTF is going; his old friend who is now hospitalized due to his mental condition is in fact the very first mutant in their world. He has psychic powers and brought the Marvel villains because he was pissed.
Anyway, they manage to stop the badguys with the help of Clyde and everything’s back to normal; the heroes decide to take Clyde back with them to treat his psychic powers.
Mixed feelings about the ending, but overall a nice mini. [/details]
Series was relaunched and the next collected collection was Vol 3., The Dead and the Dying. But picking up the individual issues while expensive aren’t bad, they come with some decent extra material within each.
Much better then what you’d get in most $3.99 books.
This week’s best books is a tie between Nova #18 and Rage of the Red Lanterns IMO.
You guys really need to give Nova a read that book is too freaking good; OG QUASAR KICKING ASS, HOMIES!
ever since i read annihilation and the final scene got me very interested in the character.
im so behind in comics. I have a ton of catching up to do.
Honestly I was never a fan of OG Quasar, but I agree his appearance in the latest Nova was indeed a great one. I’d almost become a fan if I wasn’t such a hater.
On a old school note, I am literally a $1.50 shy of picking up the entire Nth: The Ultimate Ninja series.
i previewed the ult cap annual. horrible. the art was nice though.
It was probably an old white guy or R. Hudlin.
just read nova 16-18 and it was real enjoyable. I was reading up until the hold annihilation thing. I was kinda bummed out when i found out about world mind when i read book 16 at 1st.
Anyway OG super skrull> all other skrulls
Yes! He was sick in annihilation. Dude has mad juice.
