Comic Book Discussion Thread

to be fair, i gotta say marvels kinda in a boring place itself.
its just kinda stagnant in both the majors respective universes.

and i do hope they let greyson resume as batman. that would be cool. if they really had balls they could let wayne stay dead. you could tell old "untold" tales of wayne and still get that money. and a catwoman/bruce wayne team-up in dubai sounds good, i cant lie.

and the dc bias really aint you guys on here, but i hear it in comic shops and on a lot of comic sites too. marvel is like the great comic satan and dc is all that is good with capes.
i would like to see dc do a max type thing. popular heroes in adult themed story lines. they do it sometimes but to just have a imprint solely for that would be dope. i guess thats why i liked identity crisis so much. it was made for the people who grew up with that version of the justice league. yes it was dark, but it was also kind of a love letter to those old comics too.

^both companies put out the same mixture of garbage and awesome imo...although dc has an edge on marvel with vertigo...the closest thing marvel has is Icon.

imo green lantern and morrison's batman smokes any of the superhero stuff marvel has put out in the last 4-5 years and vertigo has fables, scalped, unwritten, madame xanadu

other than hickman's stuff, marvel's stuff isn't as clever or exciting as dc's right now...brubaker's cap was up there, but reborn was such a disaster i dropped it, and iron man became boring, the x-books are just not interesting imo...everything brubaker/phillips do at icon is incredible though

it goes in phases, in a few more years the pendulum will swing the other way

identity crisis was excellent...was meltzer's jla run of the same quality?

amen

is power girls power having huge tits all the time? eloels

IMO DD#508 was the best issue thus far... i see what you were sayin but this was great.

Iron Fist or BT... maybe... idk about spidey, the story has been in such a great dark place i can't see Spidey workin. Castle... yeah but Iron Fist would be fun. BT wouldn't interest me cause it would work too well.

well put, i had to go back and get his entire run on Batman to get the whole picture and its just a great run all over.
The absurd is what i love about Morrison. He can make the most realist stories, the most believable & logical plots and just wrap you in it till you snap out of it one day and say wtf?... thats always been his strong point to me.

Shadowland 3 was not good... i was so damn hype for this story and i thought since DD is guna be off the air for a while, they'd go all out. Unfortunately i sould've seen this as #2 seemed a little drawn back.

lol
I thought I had read in an issue at one point somebody had asked her about it and she said it provided that last split second where her attacker could have her cornered and look down like "mmmmm" and she could flip the tables on 'em lol...
I'd probably be the fool to look...

the best thing about shadowland so far has been punisher's entrance lol


poetic wun, i'll pm you some ideas on sigs once i think about it and the alcoho buzz subsides

wolverine was weird as shit...idk if i wanna follow this whole road to hell shit tbh tho

Sex & Violence doesn't live up to it's name. Lame dialogue and one excruciatingly predictable "sex scene" isn't very edgy.
I hope the new team is ill. looks ill.

<Brushing up on his Hercules as of late.
But tell me im not the only one who thinks the Incredible Hercules series is dope.

hey, im not a comic book fan really, but i used to love the marvel/dc shows when i was younger especially the more mature stuff like Justice League, was wondering what dope tv shows/cartoon movies like the justice league are good as of the past few years?

thanks

wonder woman was good. green lantern firt flight. the batman season 5. public enemies. under the red hood. my personal favs anyway.

^Thanks Poetic Wun, will check them out

im diggin the dark daredevil sig, poetic wun. pretty slick.

and karma, the justice league series was probably the best transfer of these characters to media thus far. so you should check out all the dc direct to dvd animated movies.

batman- under the red hood has taken over as my personal favorite.

justice league-crisis on two earths is written by the same guys than wrote the justice league show. it was originally supposed to be the movie that explained the transition from justice league to justice league unlimited. so if you enjoyed the show, you should like it too.

wonder woman is great too. as poetic mentioned.

justice league - a new frontier is good. its set in the beginning of the silver age.

hulk vs wolverine/thor is worth checkin out.

ultimate avengers 1 & 2 aint bad.

and if you can get the entire run of the wolverine & the x-men animated series its pretty good too. not as good as justice league, but still not bad. good storytelling and it was pretty true to the characters.

and power girls tits are a huge part of her power.
solomon grundy's been caught slippin many times cause of that cleavage.
and her kryptonian dna keeps them firm, soft and perky.

god bless power girl.
