Marvel Comics Thread

And yet the guy gave us Old Man Logan Kick Ass and now Nemesis

I didn’t care for either of those storylines but if they keep him away from Marvel all the better. Now if only Joeq would move Bendis to these types of projects.

Spoiler

HA! LADY OCTOPUS! :lovin: She’s been MIA since the original Spider-Man Clone Saga. I knew she was making a comenack in ASM because I saw her sketched out for an upcoming Doctor Octopus story but I didn’t expect to see her in New Avengers first. :cool:

So looks like
Guardians of the Galaxy spoilers

Spoiler

Thanos is back. Shit just got more serious

I get it Marvel. Sentry destroyed Asgard in Siege 3. You don’t have to rehash it in every single other comic. What a Joeq.

Well, you have to see how it effected people. You didn’t really get that in Siege, just that it fell.

Fair enough. I didn’t like that pictures from Siege were also being replicated in the other comics. I don’t remember Secret Invasion or Civil War or War of Kings comics showing the exact same parts. If I didn’t know any better I’d think that Bender and Copel should get credit for some of the pages in those comics.

Got a question about E is for Extinction TPB or rather the X-Men 2001 annual when Xorn is first introduced-
In it, Emma uses her psychic powers to find where Xorn is locked up. She is given a key which she uses to find Xorn, however, the key also gives her a glimpse of Xorn’s past; since Xorn is a complete fabrication, much like the prison, how did Magneto manage to trick Emma into seeing Xorn’s past?

Back when Xorn was Magneto he had Chinese Supporters help him with the ruse so that might be part of it. Throughout the years, mainly in the 60’s and it came up again around Secret Wars or so he has been shown to have either full on or latent Telepathic Powers too. Not to mention he already had a helmet on, which the film series used to say blocks him from mental attacks (and some comics ran with) so even technology could be used to fool telepaths.

Now that Xorn is not Magneto who the hell knows.

Brian Singer talks about the future of the X-men Movie franchise:

Thanks for clearing it up, it’s been buggin me for a while.

Bendis interview regarding Siege. He explains the ending and debunks the Carnage theory. Spoilers naturally.

Good. I hope it’s the Beyonder, it would totally make sense to me.

Then again it could still be Carnage. It’s not like writers haven’t lied about the endings like Geoff Johns formally saying it isn’t Nekron involved with Blackest Night when it so obviously was.

Years behind (literally), but I just spent all night reading House of M and all the crossovers. Wow. It completely blew me away and the end almost put me to tears.

REALY??? I had the tears
well tears of joy that it finally came to an end
but still… tears

X-Men Second Coming is off to a really great start! Wish I didn’t have to buy sooo many X books to read the entire story. Hopefully I’ll enjoy it like I did Messiah Complex.

Q&A with Kyle and Yost. They talk a lot about Second Coming, Necrosha and lots of X-Men related stuff. Interesting read!

I didn’t like it. The storyline should just be called Humans vs. Mutants or Robots pretending to be Humans vs. Mutants. Finch couldn’t save Ultimatum. I doubt he’ll save this story.
