Marvel Mystery Comics #9 from 1940.

That comic came nearly 70 years ago. What is he immortal?
LOL you’re kidding right? You know about Sub-Mariner being around during World War II right? RIGHT?
Namor ages slower than humans do. Well he’s said to be around 80.
EDIT: If you mean Human Torch, the original Human Torch was a robot that came way before the Fantastic Four and Johnny Storm.
Or maybe Marvels #1. I remeber that series covered that fight as well.
Agreed.The only good thing about The Spirit was Eva Mendes.I basically feel asleep on the movie when I saw it.
I was talking about the guy who said that’s his favorite battle. I guess it could have meant Namor too. He’s probably immortal. Nick Fury, Wolverine, Mystique, and Bucky and Black Widow are also immortal.
Well with the advent of the Internet you can read old shit fairly easily, also if you ever read Marvels, the battle is reenacted from the perspective of a Mortal, relaying that they looked as gods doing battle.
I’m sure you hate Marvels, though.
(Nodding my head in agreement.)
I will now light myself on fire.
That’s one of the things I could never understand with all this Dark Reign stuff going on. I mean, I can overlook it and just accept the premise for what it is and try to enjoy the current state of the storylines. But it honestly makes no sense that Norman Osborn has risen to such a position of power. I get that he’s been rebuilding his power base since Civil War and Ellis’ Thunderbolts, but basically being in charge of the entire country’s defense forces is pushing it.
Dude’s an avowed murderer and psychopath. It’s public knowledge that he was the Green Goblin. There should be no way for him to dispute this fact. I hate to be the guy who talks about what’s “unrealistic” when there are alien symbiotes that eat brains in the same universe, but still! Come on. I get that someone at Marvel thought it’d be interesting to bring one of their big name supervillains into a position of power, but this was a pretty weak build-up.
The inhabitants of the Marvel Universe must be really stupid to place their trust in the Green Goblin. Either that, or they’re all just ultra super bleeding heart liberals who are self-righteous enough to believe that it’s a good thing to forgive a murderer and supervillain to the point where he can own the country’s security.
Or. OR… It’s just lazy writing. Except here in the SRK Comic Book Forum, we say IT’S ALL SKILL, BABY.
I think our next pool should be to name 'trixy’s favorite comics of all time. First prize is Sano’s Street Fighter: The Movie: The Comic: Jean-Claude Van Damme variant comic book. I need that.
Well for one thing; if Norman WASN’T the one to kill the Skrull Queen, but it was Thor or Ironman, what would’ve happened in the aftermath? Nothing; everything would go back to the way it was and the SHRA might be remove/omitted.
While I agree that some build up is necessary for Norman to be accepted as such, I think that his team’s involvement during the Thunderbolts’ SI tie in story helped him garner favour among the american populace.
Plus he also has a ‘redemption’/redeeming/learning from his past mistakes thing going for him which was expanded on in an issue of Dark Avengers.
Norman Osborn murdered Gwen Stacy and Terri Kidder. This is public record. Redemption is not an option.
About all the DR setup thingie:
I do remember reading an interview with Bendis and he did actuly said that he just came with the idea in the middle of a meeting and all the other major writers (Millar, Ellis) thought it was a cool idea (making everyone in the MU feel like Spidey) and it was in the middle of SI
so I wouldn’t say lazy writing but more of came-out-of-nowhere-writing
Oh and even Osborn doesn’t know what HAMMER stands for 
Guessing it’s the Goblin who came up with HAMMER. He also invented the G-Force, watch your backs people.
It was assigned required reading for my friends college course.
It pretty much got me back into comics
Marvel did reprint a lot of the Timely stuff in TPBs. They plugged a lot of it in the free Daily Bugle 30s paper. This stuff is really easy to find if you want.
Because I only took the second half of a Comic Book Writing course under (the other half I took was dealing with writing a comic, it was different teachers so they did things differently) we started at the Silver Age. The first half that I missed under that teacher was the Golden Age. The second half was cool since the teacher handed us print outs of a lot of the Silver Age origins. So we got the second Green Lantern (Hal), the second Flash (Barry), Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, JLA, The Fly from Archie comics and from Marvel we got Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Ant-Man and Fantastic Four. Probably forgetting a few here and there.
I was working at the same time as I was going to school and paying my own way so I didn’t wind up taking things in the normal order. I suppose I don’t regret it since I did graduate without ever taking a student loan. Would’ve been nice to have a lot of the Golden Age origins but they are not hard to find if you want to.
Just another example of what’s wrong with Marvel Comics. No one cares and just does whatever they want without thinking just what’s going on. It’s sad. It doesn’t matter because with all the movies and trade paperbacks they still make money hand over fist even though what they’re selling is mostly garbage.
I probably already said too much but I’m angry that my favorite comic company has taken a turn for the worst creatively this decade. It really hurts me.
It’s more like what Bendis wants Bendis gets
Erm…No.
It wasn’t “in the middle” it was before SI even got started.
Bendis had planned for SI to be an Avengers event, but during one of their creative summits they came up with the idea to have Norman take over SHIELD and that’s what all the writer’s got behind and that’s why it became a Marvel U event, and not just an Avenger’s event.
easy then
dont read dark reign
there are a lot of marvel comics out that arent incorporated under the DR banner
Hey, I’ve read pretty much one single issue X-Men during my childhood (I was more into Transformers), and I’m trying to find out what issue that was… Thought some of you guys might know.
This is pretty much what I remember:
- Wolverine and Jubilee fighting some tentacled monster
- Magneto was captured (naked) somehow by someone, but breaks free
- I think the Savage island place was featured
- I also think Xavier and some X-men(including Wolverine and Jubi, possibly) was in space…? Xavier acted like he was a bad guy, I believe.
- This character was possibly with them in space, not sure
Actually, this sounds pretty odd typing it out, maybe they’re two separate issues and I just remember them as one…
Are you talking about when Magneto and Rogue were on Savage Land dealing with Zaladane? Well I can have a better answer for you once I pop in my Uncanny X-Men Complete Series DVD-Rom when I get home.
EDIT: The issue you are talking about should fall in this range. If not then you can go through all the covers by navigating the site. If that doesn’t work then I’ll fire up the DVD-Rom and see what I can find.

I’m fairly sure that you are not talking about an ‘Adjective-less’ X-Men issue.
