Happenstance Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Any of you guys read New Mutants? Its one I keep meaning to start reading as they pop up all the time in the X-Men events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think I'm gonna start. Maybe get a few back issues or something. Or even just *acquire* a whole load. I can never bring myself to buy the first trade in case I hate it. I might eBay the Unfinished Business arc (most recent one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Most of the time I will aquire the first issue of a series to make sure I like it before getting the trades. I have a feeling I may have actually read the first New Mutants arc already after reading the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Flashpoint 5 covers Dan DiDio Listens To Batgirl, Makes Changes At San Diego Comic Con, one thing you couldn’t escape from at the DC panels was the issue of gender. Thanks to one woman (known as Kyrax2 on Twitter) dressed as the Stephanie Brown Batgirl who went to all of the panels to ask question, then follow up question, then follow up question, creating a narrative across the show, asking about the lack of female creators in the new DCU and the lack of prominent independent female characters, something snapped. By the the last panel, Dan DiDio seemed visibly frustrated – this was not the way the narrative was meant to go. I understand that possibly during and definitely after the show, changes within DC Comics have been made. Female -friendly projects have been lined up to answer this very question. Because by New York Comic Con, no one wants a repeat performance. We already knew there were other female-creator projects coming up from the DCU, including something by Nicola Scott, lined up for later this year/next year. But I also have been told that certain female-focussed projects previously mothballed have now been revived and a numbr of female creators contacted as a direct result of the events at the panels of San Diego Comic Con, and Kyrax2′s repeated intervention. Batgirl, take a bow. You’ve won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I am now the proud owner of Grant Morrison's entire New X-Men run (in trades). Combined with the Astonishing X-Men full run (in trades) I have, I possess the most definitive/stunning X-Men stores/stories in general of the last decade. Chairdriver has however stolen my Astonishing X-Men and seemingly lost it. *fake smile* I can't wait to reread it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The pencils on Action Comics look gorgeous. It's funny how much pencils actually differ to the final inked product...or rather, I'll be interested to see. I bet it won't look as technically nice. Hm.

Happenstance Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Do we know if the DCnU #1 issues are gonna be mostly stand alone or the start of new arcs? Only one I know is an arc is DC Comics Presents but I was just thinking it would be nice if most are stand alone just for that first issue to introduce us to this new world.

ReZourceman Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Justice League is an arc.....I think most are probably arcs TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It would make more sense combined with that big omnibus thing of all the 1st issues too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Just a bit annoying looking at the Solicits that DC Universe Presents is the only one that specifies its a multi issue story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I want to post photos. Need to post 6 Michael loves comics. He loves them so much that there isn't enough room here any more. No more room for any more until we move out. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yes, I will stop buying them. LOLZ. On a more serious note - my room is going to be amazing. I'm looking forward to having you and Goafer round Happenstance. I am going to project/somehow images onto my comic boxes, i.e. draw Invincible on the Vince' one (or at least, lines with his colour scheme. In fact that might look REALLY cool. Like Blue, Yellow and Black thick blocks of colour lines at an angle on his, then Red Blue and Black on Spideys, etc.) Yeeeeeeaaahhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I really need to sort out my collection as well, got two long boxes full and the rest are piling up in my room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Space is such a problem isnt it. Ive only got the 2 long boxes but my trades are starting to pile up now that ive run out of space in my bookcase. What I would love to get would be a load of Comic Cubes but unfortunately they dont deliver to the UK: http://www.comiccubes.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Oh yeah you've posted them before. God. Really quite annoying actually, they're so....solv....ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 My comic collection is mainly just tonnes of the UK collector's editions I used to get, and they're all stuffed into my cupboard. My trades are now spilling out of the one shelf allocated to them in my unit, but I'll just take over the self above, it's fine. My room is currently in a state of changing around/never truly moved into it before I left for uni. My comics (i.e floppies) aren't taking up space yet, but will do soon, if I keep buying idividual issues, which I plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I like how DC's own website has Batman Inc #9 coming out next week and then issues 8 and 10 coming out on the 24th Marvel posted a trailer for the new Hulk comic I'm digging the art, not so much the sound of the storyline, sounds a bit cheesy and cliched to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I might check it out. Aaron is the shit and I like the art. Always wanted to like Hulk more, too. I need a new sig. Comic themed, obv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Have something X-Men-related now I've moved onto Batman. They're my two essentials in life. -- Reading through New X-Men atm, read it through (except the last arc which I've NEVER read, but it's a future thing so I was dealing, even though it told truths) probs about 4 times in full before. God, Igor Kordey's stuff is shit. Like..not in a "I don't like this" way - it's BAD. SUCH a rush job. His BIG pages of a single thing are ok, he's taken his time (like that opening page of an issue where it's Lilandra's drooling face, and that infamous crotchtastic one of 'Auntie Emma' conselling Scott. But his normal panels look poorly drawn, with the colourist having to sometimes finish off lines in costumes with just colour...ugh. Kordey seems to ink his own stuff too on the series, guess Marvel were saving major money with him...bet a different inker could've tidied it up. UGH. Imagine if Quitely could have done it all *dreams*. ALTHOUGH (you all know I'm a Quitely fanboy so this is a big moment) - I'm not sure how epic Planet X would have seemed under his pen. Jiminez I think is probably the perfect artist for that arc, Quitely might not have been as suited (to convey the same feeling). Love Bachalo's bits too obviously.

Dan_Dare Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Finally caught up on a bunch of stuff Avengers #15 was a gem. Spider-Woman taking on the Hulk is ludicrous but brilliant, sets up some cool character stuff and shows Bendis doing what he does best. And of course Bachalo is perfect for the issue. The Page with the Hulk looming over Spider-Woman with his hammer in hand is so expressive, so demented that it just totally captures the battle in one image. Easily my favourite FI tie in so far. Avengers Academy continues to be probably Marvel's best book right now. We're all fans (right?) so I won't go on about it too much except that it's everything a team book, an Avengers book and straight up a comic book should be. Perfect. Schism #2 is shaping up the event very nicely indeed. It's looking like the thing that's causing the split might be Cyclops harbouring Quire on Utopia, which is...interesting. The Hellfire side of the story is turning out to be utterly mental, too. Wahey. also catching up on No Way Out in The Walking Dead . No discussion plz. Also! I have decided to start a comics blog. I'm opening up the floor to some name suggestions. Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
