if you're actually buying, I'd save your cash. Singles are a massive rip off. It's been wicked so far but I'd wait.

That's awesome, man. FYI, consider this na open invitation to the Halo Forever <3 thread over on the Edge forum. It's a really tight sub community of halo players and we're always looking for fresh meat/ new players. We've been discussing putting a bit more weight behind forge/ custom games but we need a more regular crowd. Sign up!

You basically want to read the messiah trilogy, utopia and x-force. I think. Sound about right to you, rez?

Dude you're retarded or something.

the various Iron Man suits are ace. The latest is very, very cool.

Branded Clothing (and clothes in general)...

I'm just going to have to say it, aren't I? His cock looks colossal.

I'm a huge fan of the black Spider-Man outfit- I think it's one of...hell knows..2, 3? costumes where the re-design is as memorable and iconic as the original. It's way simpler but that high contrast look really captures something. The fact that they occasionally go back to it now and again is testament to its quality. oh and speaking of Spider-Girl and a non-slut sexy outfit, you can't beat Spider-Woman (this is complicated!) You also can't beat a good re imagining. Commie Superman is my favorite.

Holy shit that looks cool.

That's because you're being stupid.

It's much longer. Like The Walking Dead they bought a short series and, when it was a success, they bought a full length second run. It's also absolutely awesome.

We've talked a bit on costumes today, so what are your favorites? It's fairly new but I really, really like Cyclops' latest. As an update of Cassaday's Astonishing design, it's a great continuation. It's a great nod to his original design and colours and it just speaks volumes on his character; the tight, bounding shape and the covered face convey both his role as action hero and restrained individual while bringing focus to what really matters: The visor. Icon and weapon in one it's the defining piece of the costume. Brilliant. Dare Devil I think it speaks volumes that DD has only ever received one significant redesign ever. That's pretty impressive. It captures so much character so flawlessly- the menace, the grace and the silhouette are just fantastic. And the coupe de grace is the lack of eyeholes that makes it really distinct (though not all artists follow this exactly, which is a shame) Green Lantern Brilliant. The use of colour (THAT green) is fantastic, the lines are brilliant and it follows a great path between outfit and uniform- looking slightly alien too. And a domino mask! Everyone loves a domino mask just because the idea that they hide your identity from your closest friends and allies is hilarious.

In Mother Russia, Colossus' costume explains you. right, shit meme aside, you're right. it kind of works when he's metal but when he's not....eugh. Looks shit. on the other hand I'm in the middle of your picture Lying in the reeds

Won't be buying this- I hated MW2 multiplayer after a while and realised I was just playing it to play something and to make the xp bar go up. Halo for me!

Good to see the effort's going in, guys...

Yeah I kinda like it myself. It's a clever way of dealing with the issue. It's more of a problem for DC too- their characters pre-date Marvel's by a good 20 years at least, often 30- One of the reasons Wonder Woman needed such a big overhaul is because her costumed is designed for ww2 propaganda strips and makes very, very little sense now.
-
Yeah. It's funny that as comics became more complex, the writers had to come up with all these reasons for the outlandish costumes and stuff that didn't really matter back in the day. When superman was invented, the costume was just a bright costume. Now it's made out of a Kryptonian flag for the house of El or whatever. Similarly, spandex costumes in X-Men were 'replaced' by advanced body armour designed by the Shi'ar (that just so happens to look exactly like spandex) and in Fantastic Four the spandex is replaced by 'unstable molocules' designed by Reed so that the outfits can stretch, go invisible, not get incinerated or get torn by bulging rock packages.

It does make sense- though obviously not the intention of whoever designed Batman back in the day. One of those in-continuity explanations for something out of continuity that can't really be explained.

So i'm sure most of us are familiar with the term Jumping The Shark, but for those not cool enough to be my friends, here's a summary. It is the point at which established series' events and characterisation cease to matter and it devolves in to shameless self parody. The original shark jump was literally that- in Happy Days, the Fonz jumps over a shark on water skis as part of a challenge- the moment at which it is considered that Happy Days was officially doomed. But when else has it happened? What other series have, for you, descended in to the worst kind of twilight years and never recovered? My personal favorite is from 24. Though the series had been ridiculous for several years prior to this moment, I remember watching this and being confused- Where had Jack Bauer gone, and why was Tom and Jerry on TV at night? In the scene, Jack is fighting a terrorist with a bomb vest on a subway. Shit! Micil-Asian badfuck guy gets his hand on the detonator so what does jack do? He dropkicks him out of the fucking train as he explodes. I rewatched the scene and there's actually a stranded salt water predator on the tracks just before the bomb goes off. So what else makes the grade?

That's truly incredible.
