midtown comics by southstreet is the shit, they have everything u may have missed because of sellouts, nice humble shop, and forbidden planet by union sq is usually my manhattan spot, i go there way more often cuz im usually in that area
btw, wolverine was awesome
Can somebody bring me up to date with Batman Inc, I been reading it but fucked if I understand whats going on
what you guys think of the whole dc reboot?
is everything i just read from dc about to be worthless?
are they even doing this with the batman titles?
they're kinda fucking the longtime readers with this decision.
i'm reserving judgment until i see what they're really doing, it does seem gimmicky and just helps to sour my enthusiasm for most modern superhero comics. my main concern is grant morrison's batman story getting fucked with, couldn't care less about any of the other shit, tbh (especially since scott snyder's detective comics run ends right before the 'reboot')...i don't know if i'll be buying any of it depending on where they go with it.
dusk, the madman stuff is so fucking good...i just read the ones with big guy and 'the puke' lol seriously entertaining
what do you think of 'moon knight'? i haven't been reading it because i think the premise is flawed, but the cover to #2 was awesome (also, i can't take bendis' decompression in single issue doses anymore, he is the anti-morrison)
im a big bendis fan (maleev as well). i read moon knight #1 and it was pretty good. got #2 but havent read it. im thinking it might be a better read in trade form though. when bendis spreads himself this thin some of his books are bound to suffer.
plus moon knights a cool character that modern marvel just cant develop a personality for.
i never read the moon knight series from the early 80's, but they say it was a game changer.
the first moon knight series are the only good comics i've read with the character...but they are dope as fuck...this is where bill sienkiewicz really showed his skill. they're available in 3 marvel essentials books...they're worth a look, they're almost in the same class as miller's daredevil.
bendis' problem to me...is that his plotting is weak, by which i mean he never really has any layers or subplots in his stories or any really creative ideas, and they take way too long to play out...there's no reason the 'eye of agamotto' story in new avengers had to be 6 issues, for example. his dialogue and characterization are good and entertaining though. if you took the best traits of bendis and warren ellis and grant morrison and combined them, you'd have the perfect comic writers, at least for me.
bill sienkiewicz is a fucking comic god to me. i need to read those asap.
and alias (although very dialog heavy) was a fantastic read. and probably bendis' most multi-layered work. its still kinda the background of his new avengers stuff, so i know thats why i have such a bias for that book. but this new storyline is really, really hard to get through.
fear itself is good fun. not a complex story by any means, but the chosen look fuckin cool as hell. good old fashion beat em up comics.
yeah, i agree

^new creative teams for the batman titles...bleh
"I think I see my stop just around the corner"
im glad ur feeling madnman bro eloels, my fav shit is the G Man from Hell arc, amazing to me :)
and eh, w/e as far as the batman shits
and moon knight is w/e for me, im stickin around for the sloppy maleev art eloels and X Force is back up quality wise
yeah i just have 'exit of dr boiffard' and 'g-men from hell' to read in the 'gargantua' book...and then i'll read the crossovers with nexus, the jam, and superman before getting into the 'atomica' book.
is the atomica and atomic comics run better than this stuff? because this'll be hard to top.
i also need to go pick up my comics...i need that x-force issue, lol
batman, inc is apparently going to continue...next year (grrrr) i haven't really seen any books from dc's non-reboot that are interesting to me, yet (they're not rebooting if red hood and the african batman are getting comics)
i liked the Atomics run, it was good shit, but honestly, the more Allred progresses with Frank and his universe its like, hard to critique, its kinda like, he goes weird places and u cant help but respect it, like it or not eloels.
i love it, i wish there were more comics like this...it's a modernized version of the silver age vibe but without being contrived.
ya i mean its so irreverent while still displaying a deep love and admiration for that old school shit
and they're even starting hitch's bat book over? after a whopping 2 issues.
i really was right when i said dc had their heads all the way up their asses. lol
*Finch and Marvel's head is up the same ass
Jun 7th 2011 By: Laura HudsonSpider-'Nam: James Stokoe Sends Spider-Man to Vietnam in Amazing Fan Comic
Over the years, Peter Parker has faced many problems relatable to the common man: struggling to make rent, dealing with a browbeating boss, dating a supermodel and even losing his job. In Spider-'Nam, a fan comic by Orc Stain creator and ComicsAlliance fav James Stokoe, Spider-Man deals with a situation that many young men faced in the '50s, '60s, and 70s: shipping off to Vietnam to fight in a complicated and divisive war halfway around the world. We're republishing the current four pages here with permission, but Stokoe says more will follow on his site as time permits.
You may remember Stokoe's insanely detailed work from the four-foot Galactus drawing he did a while back, and that intricacy is on display again in Spider-'Nam as Peter Parker explains in a letter Aunt May why he chose to drop out of college and enlist... apparently as Spider-Man?
cant believe im just now finding out that morrisson is writing the action comics relaunch smh eloels.
http://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/media/...n-comics-1.jpg

Vengence was horrible.
i loved his first series but its like they dont know what ro do with him anymore. He should just be sold to DC.
Anyone on flashpoint? Its... somethin else.
Speakin of... im see vansciver at a comic expo next weekend so im hopin to get my flash rebirth signed by him.
Stan lee guna be there but im surprisingly not too interested.
dusk, loving the android theme to your sig, avatar and music choice lol
read flashpoint #1, though it was awful, dropped it.
aside from morrison on action comics, the only new dc books that interest me are the 'horror' ones (jl dark, swamp thing, etc)
thx man, eloels, and ya those dark themed books seem boss, the only flashpoint tie ins im into are the frankenstein one, and the secret 7 one tbh
stan lee charges almost 50 bucks for an autograph. i remember i almost saw him fall down at a con a couple years back lol.
IGN had Scott Snyder on their podcast yesterday, and he confirms that as far as Bat mythos go, everything is still intact, "no magic wand" is being waved here, nothing is going to be "moot." He also mentions that Swamp Thing's past books still happened, and they'll be mentioned in his ST book. He also says that this wasn't DC going for a "reset button" on everything.

perhaps a response to the .1 initiative?
Wish they wouldntve touched action comics or detective comics.
WW in silver dont look right but nothin seems too appealing yet. As far as jump out my seat good.
Just glad they didnt "brand new day" it.
Thanks Dusk. I'll be checking both those out next week!Quote:

where i go in BK its 10% off all trades, um, midtown tends to have pretty sweet deals from time to time, go there
what dc relaunches spark your interests?
any your for sure gonna check?
the etrigan book sounds kinda interesting.
i might check out batman & robin. bruce dealing with damien seems like an entertaining premise.
anybody see green lantern?
if so what would you rate it?
id say it was better than first class, but not as good as thor.
here's the dc #1s I'm going to check out:
batman
batman and robin
batwoman
justice league
aquaman
wonder woman
flash
action comics
all star western
justice league dark
demon knights
swamp thing
animal man
frankenstein
i, vampire
voodoo
most of those probably won't get added to my pulls...jl dark, swamp thing, all star western and action are the one i'm most hyped for
the green lantern movie looks terrible to me, no way i can bring myself to check it out lol (and i thought first class blew thor out of the water)
peopel been shittin all over Green Lantern lol i havent seen yet and dont intend to
still need to check First Class though, recommended flick?
i just re read the first 7 Doom 2099 comics, some real dope stuff in there. next imma move to Punisher Warzone
the main ,and pretty much, only reason i would recommend that comic fans go see green lantern is not cause its a great flick (its not. its mediocre at best), but because they set it up for a sequel at the end thats THE FUCKING MOVIE THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
homeboy didnt suck as bad as hal jordan as i thought he would. he actually reigned in his super sarcasm a bit.
the chick who played carol ferris was horrible, though. nice tits, but cant act worth dog shit. just really really bad.
more training with sinestro & kilawog would have made the movie 10 times better.
dc spent a shitload of money on this fucker. most went on the marketing. and if the sequel stayed off of earth, it might actually be a damn good movie. but the after the main credits scene kinda pissed me off. they really should have done that to begin with.
(i wont say what it is as to avoid spoilers. but its pretty easy to figure out if your even half a green lantern fan.)
and as far as x-men first class goes, i would say wait for dvd.
magneto & xavier were awesome. i cant front on that.
but the kids they got to play the x men were really, really bad.
it was like watching a teen nick sitcom. just awful acting at its awfulnest (new word. lol)
every time beast took off his shoes and showed his hand feet sprawl out was unintentionally hilarious. so very dumb. and they showed that shit twice i think.
if it would have been the magneto solo movie it would have been so much better.
but they used c list mutants. the powers looked shitty. and they introduce a black mutant just to...... i wont say, but you can probably guess.
good ideas in it though, just executed poorly. i really dont think it was much better than x3 or wolverine. wolverine was shitty story wise, but the acting was way better than first class.
x2 still rules the x-men flicks as far as im concerned. better luck next time.
The Mighty Thor book is so good eloels.
^coipel is drawing the shit out of that book!
journey into mystery is also sick.
havent been reading that but ive heard good things
hes also doing a good job on uncanny x-men. they need to get rid of land.
