Will Read Invincible Iron Man Annual #1 Tomorrow… So far I’ve only been dissapointed with “Stark Dissasembled” but not much.
I stopped reading BP when Hudlin left & it became silly
I rather enjoyed Stark Disassembled myself.
Yes Happy X-Men day to all and to all a good night.
Man marvel got a big chunk of money from me today. Walked out with a crap load of marvel comics plus 4 variants. Shadowland #1 Wraparound Variant (Such a sweet picture http://liveforfilms.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/shadowland-splash.jpg), and X-Men #1 (Blank, Coipel, and Djurdevic).

Happy X-Men Day! :party: Picking up my comics in a few.
wow @ 2nd coming 13…hope:wow:
Yeah it’s still a strong story but IMO the weakest among the previous arcs , while "The Five Nightmares"is still the best comic story (Marvel and DC) I’ve read in like five years…
only thing that comes close is Bru’s Cap run and DC’s Green Lantern Title.
I Read Shadowland #1… Interesting start but this reads too short, The ending is a nod to the way Elektra was “Off-ed” in (I think) Miller’s DD run and I felt this coul’ve been done as a five page Prologue.
Favorite Marvel comic this week so far for me was Avengers Childrens Crusade. So good to have Heinberg writing Young Avengers again! :tup:
Second Coming was pretty bad ass! Go Hope! :lovin:
Both Shadowland #1 and X-Men were cool. I guess I’ll be back for the next few issues. Still not sold on either series though.
Wasn’t too crazy about Spider-Man and Fantastic Four. As a spiritual successor to Spider-Man and X-Men (which is FANTASTIC) it just didn’t live up to the hype. The artwork to me seemed rushed in a few places and there was a lot of dialog, which I don’t mind but most of it seemed pointless. Since Venom is supposed to show up in issue 2 I’ll be back to check that issue out at least.
X-Women was alright, mainly got it for the artwork. It’s kind of… embarassing to read because all of these women are full frontal hugging with their lips a few inches away from each other all of the time. Reading on the train is not recommended. 
Eh guess it’s an Italian thing. 
Still haven’t read Young Allies or the Marvelman book.
Awesome Marvel week all around! :clapdos:
Ditto. I perved out and bought it for the pictures (not in an artist point of view LOL.) Seemed like the issue was the X-Women running around in bikinis which didn’t bother me at all 
I will more then likely never read it. I do buy comics for a bunch of reasons including just cause which I would catergorize this.
My favorite female marvel character will always be Black Cat, she just has my heart. My girlfriend makes fun of me for my comic character crush. :looney: (no nasty fat guy only likes animated chics kind of way, she has just been my favorite since I was kid)

Yeah umm…I didn’t like the Five Nightmares that much myself ^_^; Then again it was mainly because of Zeke Stane. I’ll give it a reread someday and see if I’ll appreciate it better.
Of course it’s a nod, how can a Marvelite not remember Elektra’s death at Bullseye’s hand! Also the Japanese style building in the middle of Hell’s Kitchen just seems stupid IMO.
DD’s black outfit looks tho.
…and your write up about OMD was great, you point out the flaws that I myself have been suspicious about. Too bad I can’t use that as a sig xD. HOWEVER, if memory serves me right wasn’t MJ the first one to agree to Mephisto’s offer? I think Peter would’ve rejected the offer, but I guess MJ pushed through with it. So in part…MJ IS THE REASON THE DEAL HAPPENED!
…but I am still 50-50 about reading OMIT @_@ I think you’d recommend against it but I guess I’ll decide that for myself when the time comes.
@Sano- X-Women has lesbianism? I am sold man
Five Nightmares is probably my favorite Iron Man story. Stark’s character growth from his own introspective concerning what he might have to do to protect his technology combined with the culmination if his enterprise being destroyed was just too good.
Disassembled went on way too long, especially for Stark to just get reset. The only thing that moved forward was Pepper Pott’s role. Also, I was disappointed that Stark’s recurring dream lacked significant symbolism but maybe I just didn’t recognize it.
I wish they’d put a good artist on that book, god damn.
Yea to each his/her own, And I forgot All Star Supes also IMO beat the Five Nightmares but again that’s just me.
Not much really recommending against reading it as recommending against buying it, but again there’s nothing wrong with being interested. If someone handed me a copy I’d probably read it… (if paid… 
j/k) but i certainly would not buy it.
Honestly I don’t want to read OMIT but knowing me curiousity will get the best of me. I’ll hang back and just read spoilers on CBR and listen to spoiler podcasts on crawl space and see how it goes.
Kind of sucks that I really don’t like how Marvel is handling Spider-Man, my favorite comic book character right now since they are doing great stuff with almost every other franchise.
I will say this for Steve Wacker though. He has been really good at getting top tier talent involved with Spider-Man like Jim Mahfood in a Web issue and McCarthy on Spider-Man Fever. That and there always seems to be a mini where his marital status doesn’t matter (currently Spidey and FF). Pound for pound I think he’s doing a great job as the Spidey editor.
I Guess theire meddling with spidey’s statusb quo has to do with them not finding a suitable “progression” to his character from a married state. and the “having children” thing Q talks about doesn’t really come into play here.
This is comics, a platform where storytelling doesn’t follow the same “Finite Media” type of storytelling that animes do.
When spidey was launched in the 60’s and based on his progression in the succeeding decades, I know there has to be a point where his character would eventually STOP developing and just dwell into a sum-total of his character (and the same thing applies to any Marvel char which initially had progress momentum)
The Marriage was a perfect stop for me, he can stick in that status quo without having to grow old forever after all this is NOT a finite media… there is no ending. Q stepped back the evolutionary ladder, I don’t wish for him to be stuck there forever, so If they re-marry (post Q) I hope they’d realize that they should keep him there.
Kinda Ironic that Spidey and the X-franchise (mostly) are the ones I really don’t give a damn much about in the MU
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is writing a Loki mini in October. Sounds interesting!
***“As I read up on both Thor comics and Norse myth, it kind of became clear that is was one of those situations where the people who win write the history books. In other words, all those stories were being told from Thor’s point of view or the point of view of the Asgardian Gods and not from Loki, who is a much more complicated and contradictory figure,” Aguirre-Sacasa told CBR News. “So I thought what if you did look at these stories from Loki’s point of view and try to understand the psychology behind why he did everything that he did? And the template I used is, what if you told the Caine and Abel story from Caine’s point of view? Because it is sort of mythic in that way, and Loki is as much as a victim of history and fate as anyone.”
Most of the Asgardian Gods represent and are associated with abstract principles. While some of them are lucky enough to represent beneficial or neutral ideas, Loki had the misfortune to become the chaos and turmoil causing God of Mischief. “All of these gods are governed by some kind of fate or destiny. So what would happen if your pre-assigned destiny was to murder the most beloved of the gods and bring about the destruction of all Asgard? If you knew at an early age that’s what you were born to do and that’s why you were delivered into the hands of Odin, how would you act?” Aguirre-Sacasa remarked. “Would you fight your destiny? Would you embrace it? Would you try to change it? I thought that was a really interesting way to look at that character. I wanted to get into the psychology behind his actions.”***

Awesome! Loki is my favorite Marvel villain, as in overall badass of supreme power and stuff catagorey. On the topic of Spidey, I’ve been wanting to get into him for a long time, but every single story I read multiple reviews about are either mixed or poor and I just don’t bother, why I just read him in secondary roles like in Avengers and the like (I.E. Shadowlands mini should have him in a biggish role).
I still want to read Gauntlet, I just want to see how his classic and best villains came back and what happened.
Fuck Deadpool. Greek Street’s been canceled with issue 16.
Well that sucks, I wanted to get into Agents of Atlas after I used M-11 in a Heroclix game with Gorilla-Man and saw how badass those two were, got me curious about the comic.
