nice^^especially the spidey one.
btw, if ur not familiar with the God, Mike Allred, heres a full issue of Madman Atomic Comics
http://www.newsarama.com/php/multimedia/album_view.php?gid=568
^^^good stuff, i'll have to get this next time i'm splurging... have you ever read x-force/x-statix by allred and peter milligan? some of my favorite shit of all time my copies got ruined by water damage...i wish they would omnibus that shit but it'll probably never happen...
i'm working my way through sandman mystery theatre graphic novels right now, really good stuff
and check out the adventures of luther arkwright and its sequel, heart of empire when you have the chance. these are forgotten classics. Bryan Talbot stuff, it's up there with Alan Moore.
Detective Comics with Batwoman was interesting, the artwork had me just staring at the book stoned, not even reading it. Fuckin gorgeous layouts lol
Did you peep Dark Avengers/X-Men? Pretty decent, but Silvestri has fallen off hard. There was like 10 different inkers and art assists...but the story was actually alright. To quote Doom 'Here's to things finally getting interesting' lol
Spider-Man has come back in a major way with this American Son shit, this story is the best the book's been since the Brand New Day shit started.
Why are there like 50 different Dark Reign spinoffs? Did we really need a Mister Negative series? That said, you should pick up the Dark Reign Zodiac series. It's a new villain, kind of reminds me of Heath's Joker...the feel of the book is like nothing else Marvel has out right now, the art has a Paul Pope vibe, dope shit.
meh, i missed utopia...guess it was sold out, but i got a few things i havent yet read....btw..wtf? mad comics out today..eloels. i couldnt buy em all.
as for Mess. War...honestly, im fuckin tired of Bishop chasing this bitch around....eloels.
also....is anyone following X-Men Forever?

ya messiah war started off awesome and then it became clear it wasn't going to resolve anything...and bishop has really turned into wiley coyote at this point.Quote:

probably won't get the rest of utopia until it comes out in trade (maybe)...I'm getting burned out on alot of this shit. just tell a good story fuck all these 'status quo alterations' 'setting up an event' and so on....
have you ever read planetary? i bought the first trade of that on an impulse and it's pretty sweet I don't know why I never checked it before
You should get the 2 house of mystery trades- 'room and boredom' and 'love stories for dead people', you should enjoy it, it's kind of got a sandman/david lynch vibe
i might do that, right now im reading the first volume of Frank Miller on Daredevil with Klaus Janson
nice
are those the 'visionaries' trades? i've never read miller's original run on daredevil, just the later stuff (born again, man without fear, elektra assassin, etc)
i got the first four john byrne ff visionaries for 20 bucks at this hole in the wall con two weeks ago. nothing but dealers trying to sell shit for cheap, and crappy artists trying to get people to look at their shit. good deals though, got alot of 70s-80s stuff on the uber-cheap.
its like Visionaries, but it doesnt really have that label...just called Daredevil: Frank Miller & Klaus Janson
3.99 for comics now is raping my wallet and too much x-men came out this week.
picked up today
thor 602
x-men utopia
riots in sf. dark avengers arrive. they accuse cyclops of it. xavier shows up at the end but its really him. xavier and beast are in jail
uncanny x-men 512
beast, angel, psylocke and scientist go back in time. lame story. see the first sentinel created blahblahblah
x-force 16
x-men forever 2
sabretooth vs storm. she fucks his eyes up
dark avengers 6
amazing spider-man 598 (worst cover ever)
spider-man is held captive, survived the headshot because of the suit that was given to him. norman tells spiderman his plan and that he knocked up lily. spiderman was about to be unmasked harry saves him.
spiderman is just too good right now.. im just waiting for dark avengers/x-men to officially start.
ya the new pricing is making me think twice about picking up alot of stuff; didn't get uncann x-men, dark avengers or new avengers, and will probably switch to trade for alot of stuff. they're fucking up with this new pricing...a standard comic book shouldn't cost more than a gallon of milk lol
word i agree^ and spidey is good, but u guys are goin a bit far with the praise...eloels.
i got the promo poster on my wall...lmao..bite me.
of that cover or the one of him holding the zombie head like a football?
i got the promo poster for batman and robin #1 it's on my 'man cave' door
so straczynski is leaving thor because he didn't want his story dragged into a crossover...smh
his run is going to make a good omnibus though, and that's inevitable
i was supposed to get the iron fist omnibus but my shop didn't have it
of the football like one...i dont like that cover much.
finished messiah war today and picked up Utopia
havnt read utopia yet, but MW really didnt solve anything lol back to where we were before the "war"
hopefully the last part of the trilogy is more eventful....whatever tho the read itself as enjoyable but the outcome was disappointing
ya^, and btw..Detective Comics overall was pretty awesome...fantastic artwork, and interesting story for the most part, also i like what theyre doing with the question so far....how is Streets of Goth.?
^^^streets of gotham is dope, it's more of an ensemble book, the main story is about firefly right now, very good artwork too and the back-up story is interesting. i'd recommend it...gotham city sirens though, i'm on the fence about, the artwork was good but the story for the first issue was lame
ive been sleeping on a ton of shit, i finally got a job after 2 months of not having one so i gotta catch up
anyone recommend anything thats fairly recent but not too far in so i could go back and pick up either the back issues or tpbs?
ive only had enough to afford some shit lately ive been keepin up on Dark Reign with New/Dark Avengers, Messiah War, Uncanny, and recently Legacy but thats basically it for the last few months, and im tryin to read the Green Lantern TPBs to catch up to Blackest Knight
read Chew...and DT comics.
house of mystery (2 tpbs deep)
batman and robin (#1)
detective comics w/ batwoman (#654- the first issue of this storyline)
http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/im...5055258990.jpg
I like Mighty Avengers better than the other Avengers books...Slott is killing it...don't sleep...Hank Pym telling Mr. Fantastic 'It's on bitch!' made my day.
pics aint workin^
dammit!
they're showing up for me---are you using IE or firefox?
i'll fix it though
ok they should work now
i see em, cool
^^^dude i got chew #1 and 2 today, good call on that shit...i love this book lol
captain america reborn #1...wtf
did anyone peep justice league-cry for justice #1--gorgeous artwork, awful dialogue
i guess im not a "avengery" avengers type, cause i think new avengers and dark avengers shit all over mighty. just my bullshit opinion.
new avengers line up is the shit. and i see bendis gets a lot of hate on the net, but i've been rolling with the cat since alias and i think he's taken the marvel universe to the most interesting place its been in decades.
and im digging the villians getting face time with all the solo dark avengers shit. posing as heroes but still the same pieces of shit they always were.
but i am WAY out of the batman loop. i stopped reading when morrison took over. he really brought that book to a grinding hault.
^^^dude as far as the casts of the books, new avengers and dark definitely shit on mighty. i would rather read about spider-man, cage, norman osborn, moonstone (ms. marvel) etc than fucking hank pym and hercules, and stature, but slott's stories are faster paced with wilder ideas. dark avengers'll read better in trade, the new avengers stuff reads fine in trade but month to month it seems lacking to me. but his creative direction with dark reign is interesting but it seems like there milking it, and it's like give me the end game of cap coming back and rallying all the heroes against norman osborn or wherever it's going lol
that said, check out zodiac it is a dark reign spinoff and but it's interesting it's about a new villain the art has a paul pope vibe...osborn's written well in the scenes he's in, human torch gets fucked up lol it's a low key book but it's good...he'll end up as the next hood lol
the newest dark avengers was good though, mainly for the scenes with namor and osborn, then it's sentry flying around for like 5 pages lol. deodato kills it as always...he's like a modern version of john buscema or gene colan, old school art gods.
grant morrison's still writing batman, the batman and robin book is good, it's decompressed feeling also but i like quietly's art...the art on most of the batbooks is quality, red robin i haven't read but the art's bland next to quietly, nguyen, and williams...you might like streets of gotham by dini and nguyen or batwoman in detective comics by rucka and williams...the art is awesome on that, he's a genius.
oh yeah, they're milking the fuck out of dark reign and they need to put on the breaks. its a tight story, but with all the minis and other books building on it you gotta be a damn millionaire to stay caught up.
just read cap reborn, not bad. i like bucky cap though. and i really wish some characters would just fucking stay dead already. (long sigh). oh, well.
and all final crisis did was make dcs universe/continuity a big disheveled mess again. the best thing they ever did was get rid of all that earth-1 earth-2 bullshit.but now its all back.
and i do enjoy mighty avengers. i mean, who dont wanna see amadaus cho as ant-man?
and bendis' stuff is dialogue heavy, but i enjoy the interaction between characters he writes. (spidey & cage, osborn & sentry). new avengers spidey is probably my favorite interpretation of spider-man in a LOOOONG time. son of satan & brother voodoo. i mean, damn. lol.
how the fuck is MODOK getting his own dark Reign title???????????????????????????? lmao.
man DC did fuck up again just when I was starting to make some sense out of everything they go a confuse the hell out of me again.......
I do like where they are taking Batman BUT.....shit is still mad confusing......that Sirens book is a good read......i fucks with Catwoman and Harley i think Harley is hilarious.
as far as Dark Reign.....well........yeah it is a little winded....and they need to finish this up and bring Cap back, Ms Marvel(Carol Danvers) also.......that is one fine piece of comic book ass
