Yes! Yeah what Rez said. TWD is an ongoing 'survival drama' that takes the usual movie format of 'plague breaks out, society is destroyed and a few survivors group together' and, rather than using that 90 minute format where everyone ends up dead by the end of the movie, takes the characters through several months and years of trials and challenges. It's absolutely brilliant. It's the perfect serial drama, emotionally and psychologically challenging, thrilling and terrifying in ways I've never experienced before and certainly didn't expect from 'just' comic books. Enjoy

OK that was me I reopened the comics thread because nobody except a few core members talk about comics here so you don't want us to flood the board with smaller threads (and in order to discuss what we read every week, we absolutely would) and there doesn't seem to be a more elegant solution to that problem. Music, by comparison, is relevant to pretty much everybody and I personally think that smaller threads highlighting artists and albums is going to generate more discussion than an all encompassing mega thread (and one we heard no end of complaints on saying it was daunting and unfriendly) It wasn't favoritism or anything ( I love my music way more than comics) it just felt like the best solution to the issue at hand.

Yeah I caught that. I think he's actually better off in Avengers.

She's ace. Crackin pair o lungs and a really smart song writer.
-
heh that's kinda cool. Art isn't as good in those early issues though.
-
i didn't get it. I've not read ASM annual whatever it was they took those pages from so the entire structure of the book was lost on me. Not read OMD either so....yeah, major headache for me. First one with Marvel for ages.
-
Well in that case A Winner Is You
-
I'd say the results speak for themselves. There's been more threads, more people posting and more discussion on this forum in the last two days than in the last two months before we shut the threads down.*

Probably around £2-25 in shops or a bit below £20 online (but watch the postage)
-
Yeah Spider-man had a really strong showing.
-
aw man so many good stories in that volume. 4 and 5 are, I think, easily the best. The book just keeps getting better.
-
Hm I doubt it to be honest. These things are generally written a long time in advance and 8 issues is already the longest arc in the book so far. -- OK so The Walking Dead #75 is great. The Backup at the end is, however, genius. I won't spoil it but It's Ottley and Fco and goes back to a letter printed in #2. It's absolutely gold.

Oh awesome. Didn't see that coming. Comics to TV is so much better an idea than to film. Hooray. Not that they could do a Spider-Man live action tv series, mind. --- DC make moves to start Watchmen sequel, break internet.

Thor in civvies And Thor and Odin.
-
yeah that too.
-
Super skrull and Doom? Oh Hell naw, son!
-
Lulz. right to get back on track: Just a reminder that this is an ongoing process so don't post those death threats just yet. There's a thread just like this one going on in Mod Towers, where the unwashed masses are not allowed, and where the enlightened few look down upon those less fortunate than themselves and laugh. Uncontrollably. Aside from that, though, we're also talking about the changes and what to do next. Stay tuned. And if there's any ideas you have, feel free to post them here some more.

.....you ever seen a naked girl, Mike?

That radiohead cover of Ceremony is brilliant but it's not a Joy Division song. It's New Order.
-
Someone get on that immediately.
-
on second thoughts...
-
righto. I'll see what I can do for you. I have most of that Marvel stuff. What I might do is make a DVD of comics I didn't steal off the internet and throw on a few series' that you need to read too.
-
You missed loads dewd! I may be able to provide some kind of care package if you check out Marvel's release schedule for the last weeks you've been away.
-
Yeah minutemen are the best by some margin.
