has anybody read the invisibles?
Thanks! I think calling P2 Superman Shazam was a ghetto thing. “Nah man I’m Superman you’re ass can be Shazam!”
All in all I still would like to play a new DC fighter. Or even better a Marvel vs. DC fighter, even if it’s 3D and EA makes it or whatever. Superman vs. Thor, Batman vs. Captain America, someone greenlight this thing in my lifetime please…
52 POO!
ELIMINATED: Zephyranthes, Week 47 - Zephyranthes has just lost the oppurtunity to win his own X-Force issue #1, but he may gain the oppurtunity to keep his own X-Force issue #1 and hang it on his refridgerator! Now that’s fair! Don’t worry Zephy, since you’re always saying how great Chris J. Claremont is and are known around here for saying things like Claremont > Brubaker if you did win I was gonna hook you up with his creator owned comic Sovereign Seven Annual #1! The Claremeister was cleverly trying to tie in all realities into one, and who was behind the nefarious plot in this book that involved Lobo? PINKY AND THE BRAIN I KID YOU NOT! “*They’re not as dumb as they look, then again they were in a Claremont book! They’re dinky. They’re Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain! *! NARF!”
Now for a good excuse for me to use the Caps Lock button here’s a word from our sponser Busta Rhymes: “THERE’S ONLY TWO GUYS LEFT!”
REMAINING:
Sheng-Long - Week 51
Adam Warlock - Week 52
Gargoyles # 3 was great today! Finally Greg Weissman is going into new territory to retcon season 3 out of existence. The Illuminati! Xanatos is scheming! Eliza’s brother! Gargoyle clones! Goliath and Eliza are having relationship troubles! Brooklyn still can’t get any girls, that dude is like the Bud Bundy of Gargoyles! :lol: Man when I read this I felt like I just ran home from to school to watch a new episode of Gargoyles. "AND THEY LIVE AGAIN!: :rock:
I can’t believe 52 stayed on schedule for a whole fucking year.
so let me put my vote in for week 36, for Countdown.
Okay, so far for 52 Countdown Poo we have -
Deathscythe - Week 45, right?
Taichi - Week 36
sano - Week 33
This series will run backwards, going from 51 down. Technically because DC wants to make it a full 52 issues, it starts of with Week Zero that will ship one week before 51, so I guess you can pick issue Zero. Man, the number Zero in between a series? That’s too freaking confusing. They should call the issue Alpha, yeah that makes more sense…
Should we come up with a new prize? Any ideas? Anyone have some Liefeld Youngblood comics they are willing to part with? :looney:
It’s actually 51. Yeah. DC is stupid in naming their stuff sometimes. =/
Also, that was my 52 Poo pick. I’m gonna go with one of the way later stuff. Put me down for issue 1.
Okay, version 1.1 -
51 Countdown Poo!
Taichi - Week 36
sano - Week 33
Deathscythe - Week 1
I should still have the very first issue of Liefeld’s run on Wolverine, I’ll offer that up as the… new… “prize” if that’s cool. Written and drawn by Robbie L himself! That issue was so great I… stopped buying the book until his arc on Wolverine was done…
I may or may not have his first issue of Captain America that he did during Heroes Reborn… I’ll start digging through my books when it gets closer to the date…
being moved to the comic book forum
I’m reading through Adam Strange: Planet Heist tpb. Very good so far, even though I know how it is going to end. I need to pick up those Adam Strange archives. DC really needs to publish a new LEGION series
So as you all prolly know by now this thread has been moved to the SF Comics Forum and the SF Comics Forum is now the Comic Book Forum. And yeah, I’m a mod of this forum, lucky me! :lovin:
Tomorrow what I’m going to do is create a Sticky Marvel thread and a Sticky DC thread.
This thread, I’m thinking of making it Sticky but renaming the title to a thread that discusses comics that are not Marvel or DC. So I want to know what everyone thinks about that before I do anything.
But yeah, feel free to create seperate threads on characters you like, storylines you like and so on. THEY GAVE US AN ENTIRE FORUM MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Okay so this will be the Marvel Thread:
http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=128887
And here’s the DC one:
http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?p=3766849#post3766849
So I want to keep this one open for comics that are not Marvel or DC. Or maybe if you want to go off and talk about both Marvel and DC, comics in general and so on. So… DC owns Wildstorm but Ninja Scroll is not really a hero wearing tights so I’ll talk about that since I already talked about Gargoyles #3 - my favorite comic of the week BTW lol!
Ninja Scroll was cool this month. More on Tengus and how these monsters created Ninjas according to legend. J. Torres always writes great stuff.
Okay, decided to leave this one for other publishers, not Marvel or DC so if you want an open thread where you can talk about Fables, Spawn, Disney Comics (well you know about me and Duck Tales ha ha), Image, IDW, Dark Horse, Comic Strips, obviously Studio Udon and everything else here’s the place to be. Of course feel free to create seperate threads for those comics / companies or even Marvel and DC characters and storylines go ahead, it’s all good. 52 Poo Will continue in the DC thread.
And for those seeing this thread for the very first time there are lots of great posts regarding comics and lots of information on just about everything so if you are interested give it a good read.
I just picked up comic books for the very first time today.
Wolverine’s still awesome right? I can’t wait to read the next issue of Battle Chasers - I hope it’s coming out soon.
What’s going on with this thread now? Did we finally take over the UDON Street Fighter comic forum?
Whoa, what a NOOOB!
Took over? I dunno. Hopefully we can all get along somehow…
Avril Lavigne manga. Oh and her new album comes out next week. You know you care.
WOW SANO YOU JUST MADE MY FUCKING DAY. :lovin:
Joking of course.
I also have a question: I’m pretty much quitting mainstream comics…all I care about reading now is Robert Kirkman’s stuff. Do I have to talk about him in here or can I make a seperate thread?
Thanks.
Sano, you just made my fucking day.
…no kidding, for serious. I’m picking that up.
That’s up to you, either / or is fine.
I gotta check out Avril’s manga for the comedy of it. How is she gonna be a role model? “Yeah spit in that teachers face and kick him in the balls I’m a PUNK ROCKER say which pink dress should I wear at the fashion formal?”
Seriously though, I’m a closet Avril fan… I think her, Gorillaz, Cypress Hill and Wutang related stuff (RIP ODB) are the only albums I buy nowadays, download everything else…
Eh, talk about them. You might even get a response or two.
On the subject of Kirkman, why aren’t more people reading Irreadeamable Ant-Man? It’s a great book, that would win more than a few SRKers with its shower peeping and almost fresh grave sexing main character. Only flaw is that the book is being collected in digest form, which is great for the wallet, but so so small.
Also Ed Brubaker’s Criminal is something you might want to peep if your burnt out on the usual Marvel and DC flare. Bru knocking it out of the parker with classic noir.
