The Comic Book Thread

Read the entire run Last weekend, yes all in one sitting....Really enjoyed it. Mother was kind of a weak villian but Young Loki is such a fukin fun character and he steals almost every scene that he's in, No idea why Patriot isnt in the lineup but Latina America was a good fit with her fuk it just punch it attitude. Noh-Var finally got a writer to give him a personality, but the main story is Hulkling n Wiccan, a wrench is thrown into their relationship and its one that looking back at it makes some sense to question considering how powerful Wiccan has become. The Art fits the tone and just excels during the character moments and the lighter moments just as well, Definitely want to go baq and read Gillen's Journey into Mystery run now, HIGHLY Recommended and cant wait for the Deluxe HardCover to release.

Waiting for the final issues on Unlimited. Think 10 or 11 was just released so not too much more.

Read the Maddrox mini on the weekend, it was really good. Now debating whether I want to jump in to a 100+ issue series.

Also read all of Secret Warriors the week before. Amazing! Hickman is so good at those kinds of stories and it kept me guessing right until the end. Plus. I LOVED the art

I'm reading the different runs of Runaways. I think the first volume was the best, but the second one is definitely good, as well. Would highly recommend the first volume to any comic book fans who want a good read involving some new characters (and an occasional familiar face).

Nope. Heard it's really good though.

Been reading the backlog I have on Comixology, settled on:



The good old days before Loeb went off the deep end

Two new comics for me today - Dredd Mega City 2 and Deadly Class.

I really like the new Dredd series but Mc2 didn't do it for me. A bit too campy compared to the normal IDW series. I'll give it more time but it wasn't an instant hook.

Deadly Class was quite good though. Remender is top notch, and the art was great. Kind of reminded me of the recent 5 Weapons mini but more mature. I'm intrigued and will be back for number 2

Fantastic choice! One of my favourite series of all time. Let us know what you think and if you continue!

Met Mark Buckingham at Thought Bubble. He was super nice and signed a copy of Fables 100 for me (actually to my wife) and drew her an awesome picture

House Of M was entertaining but short.


Did anyone read Marvel Universe vs Punisher/Wolverine etc. ?
Wondering how they are.

[JeremyHight]

House of M had some good spinoffs set in the House of M universe. I'd check out House of M: Masters of Evil (pretty solid) and House of M: Avengers (average).

[IamMedellin]

that one House of M tie in issue of Cap was pretty good...
house of M Masters of Evil was also Very good

excellent series for the 1st 75 issues....just solid all around...after that...well..

oh and if youve played the game but arent familiar with series, that cliffhanger loses some impact but does put everything else into perspective...

I really liked the game but it makes a lot of assumptions that youre fairly familiar with the universe already

uncanny avengers 16



btwn this and Black science...I cant...Remender just....it feels like Ultimates 2 where so much shit goes Down and...is this even in Continuity? shit gets real, want #17 NOW!!!!! Favorite ongoing arc right now

1st Ninja Turtles Comic Ive ever read, never really had an interest in the books even thou I loved the original animated series and movie.
the Cover just caught my eye and the interior Art is gorgeous, I love this stylized story book style... the writing was enjoyable enough for me to go back and catch up on the series...

[calgaryballer]

IDW's work on that, Transformers and Dredd is fantastic. The whole TMNT run has been great, even though I'm not probably 15 issues behind

I've been reading Simonson's Thor, starting with the first appearance of Beta Ray Bill

[calgaryballer]

Jimmie Robinson's "5 Weapons" series has started again. I thought it was a five issue mini, but I was wrong. This new issue didn't capture me like the first series did, going over a lot of recap. It seems they felt that people missed it the first time round and wanted to fill in blanks

Also got Judge Dredd vs Mars Attacks mini. Al Ewing gets a lot of good press as being a rising star in the industry, so wanted to see him work on some Dredd (haven't got to Mighty Avengers yet). It's as fun and silly as you'd expect Dredd facing off against the aliens of Mars. I quite like it and would recommend any Dredd fans paying the $10 to get the 4 issues series
