I loved Dan Slott on She-Hulk, but I haven’t read anything with him since. That was a great book.
He did write a great Spider-Man in that, so maybe I need to check out today’s stuff then.
“The REAL reason Jonah hates me…is because I’m black.”
So I’m itching to buy all things Thanos. Midtown Comics had Thano Imperative (which I loved) now I have to get everything else with his face on it. There’s a prequel (with Silver Surfer), Infinity Gauntlet, and anything else? Seriously if he’s part of it I want it lol
seems astonishing xmen 50 became rare , supply low did not come w*ith my pull last shipment, *had to hunt one down found one from midtown comics signed by Marjorie Liu. maybee wortha few bucks down the road with it being the first gay marriage comic in marvel
there is thanos quest and thanos final threat comics coming out next few months saw them in the highlights at sci-fi genre were i order my comic pull and added them, just a heads up
Thanos Quest, required.
Infinity Gauntlet, obviously.
There was a Thor story where he was possessed or something and went insane with “Warrior Madness” and it was a big cosmic thing with Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator and stuff and they brought in Thanos too. Includes a crazy Thanos versus Odin throwdown which was awesome, but I can’t remember what the storyline was called. Look that up, I hear Google is a place where you can like search for things and stuff. But that was a good one.
I’m actually having trouble thinking of more, that Kazar/Thanos one was weird, and I didn’t really like anything in Annihilation but he shows up a lot.
He actually had his own monthly that went for 12 issues which was okay if you were a big Thanos fan, like me. I have no idea if the book was any good from an objective standpoint, but it had Ron Lim so it was pretty awesome.
Infinity War and Infinity Crusade if you really want to push it and can’t get enough of that sweet Ron Lim energy blast art, but I think that’s honestly about all I can think of. Similarly, he showed up in a bunch of Silver Surfer issues back with Starlin/Perez and Ron Lim, those were always great. There’s a big overlap between the best Silver Surfer stories and the best Thanos ones, check those out.
:eek:
Damn I was in the same boat you were.
With covers like this, it isn’t surprising.

The flagrant 5 star reviews for like the past 4 or 5 issues on comicvine is also highly suspect.
Wow. That is very subversive, how you slid that in there. At least when I make my “sadistic” recommendations, I’m blatant about them, obvious to the point of cartoonish villainy.
But this little stroke of subtlety, recommending Blue right alongside Kraven’s Last Hunt, the Death of Jean DeWolff, Ultimate Spider-Man, etc., is the mark of a true devilish mind.
The thing I like about Spider-Man: Blue is the artwork. Everything else about it is bad. You got your typical heavy-handed (HAM-FISTED) Jeph Loeb script featuring the hero fighting off a gauntlet of his rogues gallery, with a shadowy mysterious mastermind lurking in the background, manipulating events. The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush, Catwoman: When in Rome, Spider-Man: Blue, Wolverine/Gambit, Ultimates 3 - all pretty much the same story (or variations on the theme, at best).
David Michelinie… I’ve got no love for his Spidey and Venom comics. I remember when I was a kid and that Lethal Protector series came out, and Venom fell in with a group of bums (or as a true San Franciscan calls them, “Residentially Challenged Individuals”) living in an underground community beneath Golden Gate Park. For months after I read that comic, whenever I went to Golden Gate Park, I would look for this secret community. I would dig holes in the grass hoping to fall into a tunnel leading to them.
The more they made Venom an anti-hero, the lamer he got. He was already pretty one-note to begin with (I guess every superhero needs to fight the generic Bizarro version of himself), but overexposure and a need to “explain” the character to the readers was a lousy storytelling decision.
The best version of Venom is what Warren Ellis wrote in Thunderbolts. Venom was just a monster in that series. That’s what he does, that’s who he is.That’s what Venom should be. That’s the role he was born to play.
Also, isn’t any Thanos story not written by Jim Starlin just a clone of the one true Thanos? I can’t wait for Marvel or Starlin to provide another unnecessary explanation for all of his appearances the past ten years. Continuity pornographers, ready your engines.
Maybe all will be revealed when they revisit/remix the classics of our youth with the Finite Gauntlet, the Finite War, and the Finite Crusade. I’m looking forward to those as well as the Kree-Skrull Peace, the Civil Union, and the Honest Wars (I and II).
Just to add two more Spider-Man stories you might want to check out Spider-Man Fever. It’s Brendan McCarthy’s tribute to Steve Ditko and the second ASM annual where Spider-Man hangs out with Doctor Strange (another Ditko character). The artwork is extremely trippy and I guarantee you’ll never see something like that in another Spider-Man comic. It’s a fun psychodelic trip if you want something different.
If you have nothing against prose books (all words, no pictures) then you might want to check out Darkest Hours by Jim Butcher of the Dresden files. One of the best Spider-Man stories I’ve read in the last decade or so. It flows out of events from JMS’ ASM run, but what you need to know is in the story so no need to back track if you don’t want to. Spider-Man narrates the entire story himself and Jim nails his voice down. A lot of fun.

Also makes a difference, lamely enough.
That one’s a bit iffy only because Japan says ‘Rockman’ and all of the robots their have their names as one word. So due to loss on translation their names get turned into one word by mistake all the time. Even Capcom screws this up.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s a team in Osaka, Japan that does the translations, never Capcom USA even though they always gets blamed for it.
It has ALWAYS been Spider-Man though. Ever since his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy. According to Stan Lee (IE this might be BS because Stan Lee is well, Stan Lee and he says BS on the regular) the hyphen is just to differentiate him from Superman.
Interestingly enough, a few weeks back on Twitter I got into a conversation with a Marvel employee who wanted me to write #AmazingSpiderMan instead of #ASM like I always do. Mainly because hash tags don’t work with hyphens. I said alright, but still feel weird writing Spider-Man without the dash.
On a personal note, I usually don’t give a shit how you spell things as long as I know what you’re talking about.
…Except for you Dragon Ball Z fans that say Super Saiyan instead of Super Saiyajin. Seriously FUCK YOU and start watching Dragon Ball Z subtitled geez.

Fixed. 
Gonna wait and see what happens but the big thing that happened has me not happy.
Haven’t read the latest issue but I fucking HATED the whole thing with Lizard killing his followers, it was fucking retarded and their only doing this to bring him more in line with the movies.
He’s also the mod of this area and someone we all like, I wouldn’t fuck with Sano.
Lol good one!

Don’t accept his lies Hav, he may seem friendly. But deep down beats the twisted, black heart of a beast ready to pounce on new prey (That be you) ravaging them in humiliating fashion.
Watch your step.
Well I was just saying Spider-Man: Blue was a modern story, to be honest I was wracking my brain trying to come up with stories from like this century that were good…couldn’t really do it. I actually don’t ever notice the stories in any Tim Sale book, I just so go engrossed in the pretty pictures.
I can’t recite the plot to the Long Halloween or any of those Loeb team-ups, honestly. Though I don’t know if that’s just because the art was so good or if the stories were just excessively confusing.
Other revisits I would like to see…Light Phoenix Saga, Light Reign, Honest Invasion, Days of Past Present, Operation: Tolerance.
Hype for the new Gambit book:

Funny you mention that, because Pertho gave Rock some flack for “fixing” his post the other day, but the difference was Rock was genuinely disagreeing with him.
Lol, I need to find that.
