I saw Dead Avengers 2, was tempted to nab it but I figured it would dissapoint me, I’m so used to the badass Avengers cartoon version of Grim Reaper that until Marvel does a copy/paste job it’ll just sadden me.
Alright so I am finally going to relent, Fantastic Four looks…well, fantastic. I have always been a fan but the main series has been kinda spotty over the years and I usually just stuck to Ultimate FF. But Hickman’s run is getting a lot of praise so going to ask if there are trades of his work out since I am pretty bad at searching for this stuff.
I feel the exact same way. I hate being sporadically following FF, since some awesome/fun scenes are mixed in the middle of bad/lame stories, but when stuff gets boring in FF, it is really boring. “Three” has been entertaining. If it wasn’t for the “big ending” (hopefully it lives up to the hype), I would have just waited for the tpb. It is worth buying that at least.
I was wondering if people who gained their powers from an accident or genetic engineering can have a child with powers or can only mutants give birth to gifted children?
there is an awesome issue of Spider-man (90’s) where Parker and Beast talk about this exact topic. I think it’s Spider-man 15. It’s an Eric Larson issue with Beast and Spider-man over a yellow cover.
Non Mutants can have Mutant children. None of the parents of the original 5 X-Men were Mutants, or even people with special powers. In fact it happens more often this way then the other way around, with Non Mutants having Mutant children.
Sabretooth and Mystique’s child Graydon Creed was born a regular human. But Mystique’s other child Nightcrawler was born a Mutant. Yes I’m completely ignoring that whole thing about Nightcrawler’s father being a demon. NEVER HAPPENED…
There are some factors like humans dealing with more radiation levels, the depletion of the ozone layer and things of that nature that have been said to possibly be the cause of people giving birth to Mutants. Sunfire’s Mutant power is said to be a result of his parents dealing with Hiroshima. For Storm’s family there have been white haired and blue eyed women who can control the weather going back to the dawn of mankind or close to it.
In short it’s pretty random. There aren’t that many Mutant births right now thanks to Scarlet Witch’s ‘No More Mutants’ spell, but recently there have been a few.
For Marvel almost all of the time it goes without say that if a character has powers, born with them or otherwise their kids will most likely have powers too. I mean it’s what the audience expects so it’s pretty much a given.
I thought there was some kind of science to it. I maybe asking my science teacher a while ago if there was a person who was genetically altered to have a lizard’s tail or horns would his child be born with one and he told me no because it is not a part of the man’s natural genes, thus it cannot be passed down to him.
As much as I’m enjoying X-23, it would have been better if it didn’t end up being part of Wolverine Goes to Hell right off the bat. Was looking forward to seeing how she would do at the center for Former mutants and how it could grow her character then poof.
I have to wonder, if we will ever see a SHIELD trade before August 2011? It seems like we have at least 2-3 more issues before it falls into a good conclusion (or more likely stopping point) for the first arc.
I had to stop being lazy and searched on Amazon, apparently, the first arc is six issuess and set to drop via trade around May 2011. That being said, this first arc is ending on a cliffhanger because no way can they resolve all those plots bubbling right now in one issue.
Don’t know, I know Secret Warriors is supposed to be wrapping up soon, so could be once Hickman finishes that he gets the book on a monthly schedule.
After a long time I picked up some (Marvel) comics (mostly due to the MvC3 hype), just a few issues of Thanos Imperative (because of the positive reception here).
I’m planning to pick up some trade paperbacks, can you guys recommend my something?
I’m thinking of the Siege.
What do I like? Back in the early 2000/2001’s I loved Tieri’s and Chen’s run on Wolverine.
(After that things got nasty with bad movie influences, just like the X-Men series when Beast turned into some muppetlike creature)
I saw that Tieri did a run on Deadpool recently, but I was turned of by the artwork.
For MvC3 hype, well you should definitely read Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon since that’s where Wolverine’s MvC3 outfit comes from and Thor by JMS since that’s where his outfit comes from. But besides all of that they are just really good comics that and very new-reader-friendly. If you have the extra cash go for the omnibus books that cover the series’ in one shot.
