Sheng-Long, mind thyself! Thou doth go too far, methinks. Stay thy keyboard presses before we my hand is forced and war falls upon the both of us.
Beta Ray Bill doesn’t even talk like that, I don’t know what I’m doing.
I can’t believe someone bad mouthed Peter Milligan right in front of Zephy though…that’s just something you never do.
Yeah I agree. It gets a definite thumbs up from me. I enjoyed the Hulk vs Wolverine more then Hulk vs Thor… partly because Deadpool is too freaking good, but both movies were well done.
I think Marvel is starting to get the hang of these animated features. Their first films were awful. Ultimate Avengers 1 was bad, Ultimate Avengers 2 was terrible, and Iron Man was even worse.
They showed some improvement with the next 2 films (Dr. Strange and Next Avengers).
Hulk VS is the best of the lot IMO.
HVW was great, I’m glad they didn’t hold back and had wolves use his claws.
I think a lot of the credit goes to Kyle and Yost for writing them.
Hopefully they continue to let comic writers write comic things.
Does Marvel still suck when it comes to comics? I’m looking to get back into the swing of things and I figured I’d just go with what I know best(Captain America and Daredevil[the only two readable Marvel titles, to be honest]).
New Fantastic four issue was a nice transition issue the Master of Doom arc looks realy promising
Captain America was excellent as always
and New Avengers was also good, not as good as DA but sets things up
You can afford to live without the current universe ongoings. Just wait for the TRADES, BABY. In the meantime, go read something SEMINAL (“seminal” means “born of the semen”), like, dunno, a Peter Milligan comic.
Oh, Deathy, how we’ve missed you here. Or should I say DSy now? You need to grace the Comic Book Forum more often.
Gotta disagree. This new avengers issue was awesome and better than Dark Avengers if only because we saw
NA49
Luke Cage beating down Bullseye and Venom with a crowbar. And not just any crowbar but the Wreckers crowbar from WAAAAY back during the earlier issues of NA.
Yeah, it sucks being unemployed. I’m waiting for a lot of trades, but I forgot where I left off in a few books. I figured I’d definitely get Millar’s FF run, Captain America, and DD. I’ll have to dig through some boxes to find out where I left off.
And you can still call me ‘Deathy’. <3
Sometimes I just miss the old pre-Comic Book Forum days when all we had was one giant thread in GD and we could all talk about Thor vs. Superman for 17 pages with Rugal 3:16…
Lol. Those were good times.
I read Dark Avengers 1 last night and was really surprised and think that Bendis might actually have my attention with this one. How long will it be before Osborn goes nuts and how big a role will Doom play in the grand scheme of things? It’s a proven Marvel fact that Doctor Doom makes every book worth reading.
Those Osborn has chosen as the “Dark Avengers” are all great choices. Each with their own insanity factors that make it a ticking time bomb. I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds.
Slott also wrote some pretty good mini series such as Spider-man/Human Torch and the near classic Great Lakes Avengers: Mis-assembled. I frankly don’t understand exactly how you could think Avengers: Initiative is disappointing since it is one of the first books in years to manage a rotating cast of characters and has managed to use the post CW setting better in telling new stories then any other book. But yeah, overall while BND on Amazing Spiderman hasn’t been bad, you can’t really say he has been knocking them out the park but that has more to deal with constantly dancing around the fall out of OMD.
On Milligan, last I heard he is doing the current Marvel Knights Namor mini, where he is played up as a mythical monster stalking a crew. But I think what more or less screwed him was that he was writing around the time Whedon was doing Astonishing and Claremont was doing Uncanny, so he was at the bottom of the ladder as far as writers went. Started off with a throw away alien story, had an interesting if haphazard arc about X-Men love triangles and was then bombarded by what seemed like editorial mandated stories such as a crossover with Hudlin’s Black Panther (the ditching the Storm in Africa storyline), HoM recognizing storyline and then the lame Apocalypse return. By that time, you could tell Milligan was tired of the book himself.
As for Howard the Duck, didn’t they put out a mini for him back around the time they released CW? I think it was by some guy whose name sounds or has Ty in it.
I saw howard the duck in a frame of the Secret Invasion end battle. He was just there.
He was in almost every issue. Any time they had a huge crowd shot Yu drew him in. Apparently it drove Bendis crazy.
Makes sense. He’s a duck from a world that got retconed.
Quick question to the mavel gurus in here. I was wondering if they ever had anything listing the omega-level mutants. Im having a discussion with a co-worker right now…and i need some facts. I havent read marvel comics in years and he still reads them so, im not current on a lot of things.
They kind of ignored such classifying ever existed after New X-Men.
They’ve acknowledged that Iceman is omega level.
I can safely assume so is Magneto, Xavier and Jean Grey.
Elixir is one too, so it Storm.
Just go look on Wikipedia.
lol @ Yuu putting Howard in every issue of SI.
