the tekken one?
anyone feelin those 70 YEAR variants?
sometimes i'll drop some dough for a variant and i've done so for as many turner variants as i've come across but these definitely don't seem worth it.
Weapon X #4 round my way cost 15. maybe for a #1 but this series ain't THAT good. the DD 70YV looks ok but cause it's a clean image of him then again it's done by Zircher, otherwise it's really sad they couldn't do something better.
any read Torch?
or know much about that new Ultimate Sidey?
*edit*
did someone switch The Lab & the Misc. sub forums or is it just me?
they did switch em...and the 70y shits are terrible. generally speaking.
my shop goes insane with the variant pricing...$20 for a variant the day it comes out lol
i like ultimate spidey...ahem...ultimate comics spider-man...it's the best the book has been since clone saga...the art is different, almost like european mixed with the manga, spider-man's head is like stewie's lol
i haven't read the torch, i didn't like the art lol but mike carey's a good writer
maybe the simplicity for 100yr would have been better but idk... they feelin themselves on this one. just a bunch of random issue variants for a lame anniversary.
yeah the art really intrigued me for the spidey, i know i'm late on it but i thought about buying both issues today.
my comic shop dudes are always optimistic and pretty much reccomend anything... *regretting this damn issue of power girl*
my comic book guys hate everything eloels. and are starting to charge for bags and boards
^^^damn that sucks at being charged for bags and boards
i agree with poetic about the variants...most of them suck anyway imo...voguing rogue and smells like teen war machine were the only ones i can remember besides that horrid dark wolverine as the fonz or whatever the fuck they were playing at lol
power girl? my dealer recommended that too... but i just can't see myself buying it lol...i dig amanda conner's art though, she's one of the best superhero artists when it comes to conveying emotions through expressions and body language imo
my comic book guys hate matt fraction's work on the x-men with a passion. you would laugh at how much bile and virtiol they spew at it...i agree though basically, but the franchise was limping before he came in, they ruined the core concept of x-men when the m-day shit, so for me everything that happens until that shit is reversed is just irrelevant lol i did love mike carey's breif run before messiah complex, he should be in charge of x-men out of any of the writers.
damn fuck that.
theres a comic shop that's the most notable over here that charges for them but they the basic thin shits and right down the road is another shop that has these nice, thick plastic ones, the tape never gets stuck to, for free.
i give the art it's due for PG. its not bad. she's a little unproportionate but her stoy doest make me feel like theres anything they will ever have to offer.
my daughter likes that series tho. and Red Sonja which is darker than i noticed.
Mday was bad but when i read BND it obliterated "bad"... i refuse to buy a spidey book. some x stories since have been decent and the whole feel of the x-realm seems gritty underground. after divided we stand i stopped the presses. the hype has reverted back into the colorlessness that is the 90's era XMen.
i hate that the new status quo has the x-men living on a chunk of rock in the middle of the ocean...wtf
i really don't understand what they are doing with the direction of these titles...it's a status quo that can't really endure (the m-day thing) what themes and concepts can you really explore when writing about a fringe subspecies on the verge of extinction? they haven't really explored that in any meaningful way. it's weird that the m-day thing was almost 5 years ago...
exactly, i hate the unwritten potential. it irritates me beyond the point of ocnscious reading.
it's like superman. he's become so iconic they should have left him dead. there is nothing you can do in the way of Sup that would give his story anymore of a surge without disrupting dc... which might be for the better (after blackest night).
unlike Sup, xmen have a shot but fleshing out quick brain storms into drawn out story lines are the death of...
i wanna see where bats is going. i have faith.
*edit*
i know im going off the walls here but i think Grant gave Batty his deepest story in many years which is by no means a good thing.
Cap is also something that is not being handled very well...
the side x men stories make that aspect or the MU a joke.
most wireless if not all
they look like shit
the one i goto sells it for a quarter.. another shop down the street is free when you buy new comics there and its 20% too..
i just buy 100 boards and bags there like 5-6 bucks each...
brubakers run has been good before reborn...
all over MUA2 on the 360.. beat anti need to do the pro run but im just collecting all the stuff that I missed..
Yeah my bad i was referin to reborn, thought i typed that.
fuck man, im dyin for MUA2. (copped a very late Dopium & CL2 & Onimusha instead)
i know nobody in the real world that owns it tho so i havent heard much on it
ya captain america: reborn has been a failure so far imo, it's basically cap reliving his greatest hits, with heroes and villains from other books shoehorned in that had no relevance to the storyline. the art's good though lol
Here's an interview with the X-Men Editors if you're curious about what's happening with the books...apparently Deadp---just read.
X-POSITION: X-Editors
http://images.comicbookresources.com...-previews1.jpghttp://images.comicbookresources.com...031013_col.jpgArt from "Deadpool" #17, "Astonishing X-Menhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2.gif" #31
Just as the X-editors own a corner of the Marvel offices, the X-Men now own a corner of the Marvelhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2.gif Universe – Utopia! What does this mean for our merry mutants and the greater Marvel U? It definitely raises many questions, which is why we’ve brought out every available X-editor for this special edition of CBR’s exclusive weekly X-Men feature, X-POSITION
Today, we have a genuine who’s who from the editing bullpen here to answer your questions, includeing Executive Editor & X-Men Group Editor Axel Alonso and X-Editors Nick Lowe, Sebastian Girner, Daniel Ketchum, Jody LeHeup, and Jeanine Schaefer. All of you X-Positionites sent in a ton of questions, and I’m sure you’re itching for answers, so let’s get to it!
CBR: The first query of the day comes from dddevil01 – a polite fan who doesn’t want to offend Wolverine’s son with a tied-up tongue.
I was wondering how to accurately pronounce Daken's name. I've heard everything from Duh-ken to Day-ken to Dokken. I really enjoy that Daken's dubious moral nature, but I'm not sure I need that ambiguity extended to his moniker…
SEBASTIAN GIRNER: Daken’s name – 駄犬 (“useless” or “no good” + “dog,” so his name means “mongrel” or “cur”) – is pronounced DA (like “yes” in Russian) and KEN (just like the name Ken).

Several fans wrote in with the following question, including CmX, Chris Garcia, Weslley, and Alex M. This well-heeled group of gentlemen all emailed with…wardrobe concerns?
Is there any way that Psylocke can get a new costume? Or at least have her current one redesigned or updated? The thongkini is iconic, but needs to go the way of the dodo.
JEANINE SCHAEFER: Is the thong out? When did that happen?
DANIEL KETCHUM: For better or worse, the “thongkini” is here to stay for the time being. But that’s not the only thing we’ve seen Psylocke wearing recently. Check out the past few issues of “Uncanny X-Menhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2.gif,” where Terry Dodson loves creating new looks for our favorite psychic ninja. And stay tuned for the upcoming “Psylocke” limited series, which will feature a few peeks at some of your favorite Psylocke costumes from back in the day.
Speaking of “back in the day,” RoguishGurl wants to know if the ol’ gang will ever get back together.
In “Messiah War,” X-23 interacted with her old friend from NYX, Kiden Nixon. This made me very nostalgic for “NYX” and X-23's interactions with the NYX cast. Will that group ever meet with X-23 again? And if that can't happen, will we ever see X-23 address her NYX days more fully?
JEANINE SCHAEFER: There are plans in the works for X-23, although I’m sorry to say I can’t get into them much right now. I know it seems like deflection, but if you love X-23, you’re not going to want to miss the journey we’re taking her on, both in “X-Force” and outside it. As it is, a pretty big chapter of her life is being dealt with right now in “X-Force,” and issue #19 is going to see some huge hurdles for her to get over.
Jack is a no-nonsense kind of guy, and he’s looking for answers – now!
When can we expect to hear more about the third act of the “Messiah” trilogy? Do you have any details about it yet? How many issues it will be? Will it involve crossovers?
http://images.comicbookresources.com...003col72v3.jpghttp://images.comicbookresources.com...01004col72.jpgArt from "X-Necrosha"
AXEL ALONSO: The event will be structured more or less like “Messiah CompleX,” starting with a one-shot, cutting across four monthly titles for three months, and winding up in a double-sized one-shot. More details to be announced soon.
Details? Elixir86 is thinking of one particular detail that would explain a lot…
When will the X-Club finally start looking for Hope Summers' genetic parents? It seems kind of ridiculous that none of the X-Men are interested in her folks, considering all the work that’s been done to restart the mutant gene and find Hope.
NICK LOWE: To answer your first question, the X-Club has its hands full getting the new island up and running so…well, so it doesn’t sink. So the question of Hope’s parentage (and don’t think we forgot that mystery) is going to have to wait.
In “Dark Reign: The Cabal” one-shot, the Namor story contains the first appearance of Crosta, an Atlantean boy with the power to create directed shockwaves. At the end of that story, Namor send him to the X-Men in San Francisco. Will we see this fact addressed anytime soon?
NICK LOWE: Keep your eyes peeled. He’ll be making waves very soon!
MuhollandDriver not interested in waves; he’s just looking for a cool breeze...
Despite the great mini last year, it still feels like Storm’s relevance as an X-Man has diminished. I always think of Ororo as the complex leader who had interesting relationships with her teammates. I never thought, over a decade later, she would be sitting on a sofa watching television. Any big plans for her? Outside of her marriage?
DANIEL KETCHUM: While running back and forth between Wakanda and San Francisco has caused a slight decline in her screentime in the X-books, be assured that Storm still plays an important role in the X-Universe. Not only is she one of the most powerful X-Men, but the fact that she’s mutant royalty makes her invaluable. Keep an eye on upcoming issues of “Uncanny” for more on this, especially as the X-Men build their own sovereign nation – Utopia.
And if it’s simply some awesome Storm action you’re looking for, keep an eye out for “Astonishing X-Men” #31. It just so happens that both myself and artist Phil Jimenez have a love of your favorite windrider…

Andre4000 seems to be a morbid sort who’s curious about corpses.
How many mutants can we expect to see return from the dead in “Necrosha?” A dozen? More than twenty? Fifty plus?
JEANINE SCHAEFER: I’m not a mathemagician, but I can definitively say that “fifty plus” is an understatement, although I’m going to leave the exact number to experts Craig Kyle and Chris Yost. But the title alone should give you a pretty good idea about how many we’re dealing with, and, without getting into specifics, there are going to be a lot of gut-wrenching reunions that definitely don’t turn out the way anyone dreamed they might.
Adam Tisdale has a dream too. Can any of you editors help him out?
With the announcement of “Web of Spider-Man” along with the premature cancellation of “Exiles,” I got to thinking: do you think there is any possibility for a “Web of Spider-Man”-type book for the X-universe? The recent minis that followed this format (“Manifest Destiny,” “Divided We Stand”) have sold well, and this would also be an ideal spot to continue Jeff Parker's “Exiles” as a backup feature!
NICK LOWE: If you love short stories, than you’re in luck. Not only is there a “Necrosha: The Gathering” one-shot where you get to see Selene putting together her team of elite killers (you saw them briefly in the “Necrosha” preview in the back of most Marvel books this month), but we’re also launching “Nation X,” where you get to see what life is like on Utopia, the X-Men’s new island home. The X-Men have been pushed to the edge and the stories you’re going to get in there are fantastic.
Sorry to disappoint you that “Exiles” won’t be in there, but if you want to see some Jeff Parker X-Stuff, definitely pick up the “X-Men/Agents of Atlas” mini that’s coming up. And I’m also planning a “Life of Nick Lowe” anthology that is sure to please. See such exciting chapters as “Nick Goes Streaking in College,” “Nick Gets Locked Out on Fire Escape,” and “Nick Gets Fired By Axel for Somehow Publishing Biographical Anthology as X-Book.”

One of X-Forum fanatic Novaya Havoc’s favorite topics has finally become relevant, so here’s his chance to shine!
I am so glad for the return of the sensational, elegant, timeless treasure known as Lois London! Will she and Dazzler be meeting soon? They are, after all, the star sister duo of the Marvel Universe. And now with Lois returning as a villain, the time for drama is nigh! What can we expect?
JEANINE SCHAEFER: I have a sign that says that hanging above my desk! Lois is a big part of “Necrosha,” and she’s a character that we’re all excited to be working with. I don’t want to ruin anything by telling you what’s coming up, but the time for drama is totally nigh, and we’ll be seeing even more of her in “Necrosha: The Gathering” (which Nick mentioned, written by super-team Kyle and Yost and drawn by a multitude of amazing artists), where we’ll see exactly how she got caught up in all this in the first place.
Chrissstopher has questions about everything. As we have all the editors available, well, it’s a good week to be Chrissstopher.
How is it going to work with Beast as part of X-Men and SWORD with Agent Brand? Will he be in both “Uncanny” and the SWORD title?
NICK LOWE: Someone sure took their curious pills this morning. Okay, for Beast you’re just going to have to wait and see how we handle his double-duty.
What is going to happen with Xavier now that his tenure in “X-Men: Legacy” is over? Is he going into limbo?
NICK LOWE: He’ll be hanging around the island trying not to get in Scott’s way for the foreseeable future (we’ll have to see how that goes).

What is the feeling about the X-Men moving, yet again, from San Francisco and now to their own little gated community? Will it last? What is Magneto going to say about it?
NICK LOWE: In response to your strangely posed question about the “feeling” now that they’re on Utopia – the island is their home now. They’ve been pushed to the edge of civilization in a way and they’re making the best of it. At this point, survival is their main concern. I’m not an expert on biology, but a species with less than 200 organisms to its name doesn’t have much of a chance. And Magneto? Check out “Uncanny” starting with #515!
Why was Pixie chosen, among all of the young students, to get her own mini? Simply because there was someone who wanted to write her story? Or will something “special” be occurring with her?
NICK LOWE: Pixie got a mini because she rules. Plain and simple. Her Q-factor has been on the rise since “New X-Men,” through the “FCBD: X-Men” story and big-time in “Uncanny.” And you’ll find out that she has a very interesting familial tie to X-Men history. You don’t know everything about Megan Gwynn, but you will after you pick up her mini.
X-Factor is moving back to NY – will they be checking in on the Westchester grounds at all? What's their plan going to be there? And will they have more, less, or the same amount of involvement with the greater X-Universe?
JODY LEHEUP: As of issue #200, X-Factor will be broadening their horizons a bit and really becoming more of a detective agency for the Marvel Universe as a whole, not just the mutant population. So expect to see a lot more familiar faces from the superhuman community.
Will they still be a part of the X-Universe? Of course, just not in an exclusive capacity. As for Westchester, there’s definitely been talk of paying the X-Men’s old stomping grounds a visit, but it’s probably not something that you’ll be seeing out of the gate. Definitely keep reading though. Big things coming…

Is Deadpool really going to join the X-Men and/or X-Force? I like Wade better as a solo dude, but the occasional team-up is always a good time.
AXEL ALONSO: Well, Wade already made costume for himself, so he’d better! You’ll have to read the “Nation X” tie-in arc, “Want you to Want Me” (“Deadpool” #16-18) to find out! And if you’re into Deadpool team-ups, be sure to check out the debut of “Deadpool Team-Up” this November.
Matthew Buckley has a wandering mind that seems to drifting upwards…mostly towards outer space.
Do you guys have any plans for the X-jammers?
NICK LOWE: As of our plans right now, they aren’t going to be back to earth too soon. But we love Havok and the rest as much as you do. Promise.
As we’re discussing things in space, Fortyseven wants to know more about an item from space that’s here on Earth.
Will it be explained, at some point, how Asteroid M made it to the bottom on the Pacific Ocean? I thought it blew up in the sun at the end of Morrison's “Planet X?”
NICK LOWE: It’ll be explained right here! There has been more than one Asteroid M. In fact, there has been at least three of these Asteroid M’s (depending on if you consider a rebuilt Asteroid M to be a new one). This is the first Asteroid M (or at least most of the first one).
Blair R. Campbell gets the last question of the day, and it’s a head-scratcher…

Am I mistaken, or did the X-Men basically abandon Forge, one of their own, to certain death in “Astonishing X-Men” #30? I re-read this issue several times but I can't make sense of it. For the last few years, a major theme of the X-books has been that every mutant life is precious and the struggle for the mutant species to survive. So when the X-Men are faced with the choice of either saving Forge or abandoning him to die, they decide to do the latter?
Could you please offer your thoughts on why they did this and how it makes sense in the context of the survival of their species? I'm a big fan of Forge and it made me quite upset to see him treated so shabbily.
NICK LOWE: First, of all, Blair, I think you’re oversimplifying the situation the X-Men were in with Forge. Not only did Forge open a Ghost Box, pointing terrifying beings from other universes right at ours, create a race of monsters and try to sacrifice the X-Men to solve the problems that he created, but he also went mad. They tried to get Forge out, but he wasn’t going to go and he had the forces to make it impossible for the X-Men to take him out. They had to make a tough choice; although if history tells us anything, I’d hazard a guess that we haven’t seen the last of Forge.
As for what it means to their struggling species, they had to leave so the race only lost one mutant and not the six of them as well. It’s a wartime decision that isn’t easy to make, but that’s life.
was that from cbr? lol
i only picked up the first issue of reborn when it came out...
lol wost intro question.
i'm pleased to hear about X23. i dig her character like crazy and try and keep up with her as much as possible.
im glad they asked about Ororo. i was kinda wondering the same.
bullshit Pixie answer.
Lowe touched on what you were saying about the x men and their living situatuin, P, but it wasn't enough really lol i still doubt they'll do anything with it.
stupid psylocke question, eagerly awating deadpool and last but not least:
Necrosha is a garbage concept.
^^^necrosha is blackest night:x-men lol
do people really like pixie? i'm not a fan...i haven't read anything with her to endear me to the character...the fact that i guess she secretes psychotropic hallucinogens almost makes me like her though lol
and ya....needs more storm...wolverine can be in god knows how many comics per month, but it's some logistical nightmare to have storm be in x-men and black panther? please.
yes kza that was from cbr...i figured not everyone goes there regularly like i do lol
fucking x men
it feels like...you know how, as Cable and Hope jumped further into the future, things got worse and worse, and Cable was like, dont worry..civilizations always rebuild themselves? well im waiting for that too..eloels.
^^^lol...you're still buying cable? 20 issues of the same plotline...i've even dropped x-force, but it's just gotten boring...i think messiah war fizzling out killed that book's momentum and the necrosha story doesn't really seem that interesting...
ultimate armor wars #1 was pretty good as was the new moon knight #1 (great artwork and coloring imo) but i probably won't continue to buy them...pretty good doesn't really cut it anymore
batman and robin #4 was dope but i miss frank quietly alot...philip tan is nowhere near as good lol
am i the only one that hates the idea of a deadpool team up series? deadpool and hercules? i really couldn't give a fuck less lol
i told you they were gonna whore him out dusk...he's the new wolverine.
lol@dusk...
i mean i think Necrosha is guna turn into something else but i'm not guna speak too soon, i'll wait n see-- i figured they do it tho.
i think they've been on a good run with DP xcept the SK shit. i hope it stays that way with the team ups and im sure it'll have its ridiculous moments but this is a character that breaks the 4th wall... kind of absurd to begin with but i guess i'll have to keep on reading... he is getting used a lot tho, i'll give you that
^^^the team up thing just seems superfluous since they gave him that merc with a mouth book...but it all depends on the writer really...joe kelly or christopher priest could murder the concept...i just hope it's not all deadpool teaming up with z-grade douches like hercules lol
i think the main problem with x-men is that they're treading water and there's a lack of innovation; the necrosha stuff is all tied in with obscure/dead characters from the past, magneto's coming back, etc---they need new villains, new threats, not just rehashes of old stuff. that's why to me carey's year or so before messsiah complex was so good and morrison's run before that--it had new concepts and new villains, not "let's bring lois london back to appease some queens who frequent the message boards" and "let's put all the mutants on their own island nation and act like it's an innovative idea"
lol--yea i'm mad lol
i picked up batman: SOG #1, not bad, the art is fuckin great...the writing is cool, ill keep on with it i think.
ya streets of gotham? that's pretty good...it's on #4 now, it helps to have read heart of hush and the 2 issue catwoman story after that, it sort of sets everything up. gotham city sirens is decent also, the best issue was the riddler one-shot in issue #3.
only thing i missed was that catwoman shit..well, was one of them where hes on the yacht as wayne, and he bangs that cougar? lmao
^^^ya lol
basically all you need to know from that story is that they capture him and he's in a cell in the wayne penthouse...just not for long
dini and nguyen are a good team...hopefully they stick around once bruce gets back.
the art in captain america: reborn is phenomenal, i find the story strangely stupid though, and i don't like how osborn, thunderbolts, dark avengers, etc are being dragged into this when they haven't been part of the story so far. falcon and bucky pwning the thunderbolts was nice though lol
did anybody buy dardevil: the list? my shop was sold out---murdock's in charge of the hand now? wtf---i may have to start reading dd again.
ya i read that in the preview they had for it in the back of the one shot....didnt buy the issue tho...Daredevil running The Hand? Nuff said
doctor voodoo----eh...sort of want....might try the first issue

i'm not too sure about jefte palo's art...which is weird because i loved his stuff on the secret invasion issues of black panther and the x-force one shot...his doom looks terrible though imo
no i dont...i picked up one issue of the lady bullseye arc, and i dropped it after that
daredevil has been one of marvels best (if not THE BEST) series for 4-5 years now. just really, really good stuff.
daredevil the list was pretty good. they changed the hand ninja outfits to honor their new leader slightly (corny), but other than that not bad. bullseye has just become one of my favorite villains ever since joining the thunderbolts.
the new issue of dark avengers was really good. dealing with the fact that ares' son is in nick fury's team. good stuff.
im really looking forward to the new spider-woman series. bendis and maleev back together again.
ya dark avengers was pretty good.
disney zombies
http://www.comicsalliance.com/2009/0...ake-on-disney/
smh..eloels.
ya thats pretty gnarly^^ btw does anyone kno y tim Drakes name is now officially Tim Wayne? is it cuz he was adopted legally by him?
^^^ya, tim's dad was killed by captain boomerang or whatever his name is in the identity crisis miniseries and then bruce officially adopted him.
that's why tim was so salty when damien came into the picture, because by that point him and bruce were like father and son.
who is the chick in the psylocke sig?
looks familiar
lol a sad day... inescapeable was right tho.
my man! nice to hear this... DD is a constant of mine... it has its fall outs with "great" and resides to "eh" at times but it has been a great series.
exactly what i was thinking tho.
i was disappointed at the suits only cause i figured the series to be better than that but nothing horrible.
i hated that aspect of the Bat story... i understand but ..."c'mon son"... this was some b.s. "drama" that could have easily been left out.
i figure it was to give them a feel for their "humanityness" but this wasn't necessary... and i keep buying...
so another contender for SOG huh?... i didnt like it originally but i might try it again.
---------
idk who's in the sig, Style ran over it while perusing for someone elses sig and we'd been pm'ing back n fourth about comics at the time.
the next day= there she was in all her glory! lol
^^^sog is fairly good, now that they're doing something with zsasz it should get even better...plus you can't go wrong with nguyen's art
was the dardevil as leader of the hand thing something brubaker did or andy diggle? who's drawing the book now?
