Happenstance Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Its not a massive re-writing, just letting us know what changes happened after Infinite Crisis as it hasnt been told yet. Just adding things here and there that were taken out of his history after the original crisis, like all the stuff with the Legion when he was Superboy.
Dan_Dare Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 mm..well that goes totally over my head anyway. Carry on, forum!
Happenstance Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 mm..well that goes totally over my head anyway. Carry on, forum! Most of the Legion stuff has always gone over my head so its actually been quite nice to read about his first meeting with them etc.
Paj! Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Oh...I thought they were the pages from Cast for a second. *leaves*
ReZourceman Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Expensive........But I love it. It looks so damn good in the flesh.
gmac Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 very nice ========== so this weeks comics Green Lantern and Blackest Night - since they're basically one double issue thought it was really good, some nice comedy moments with Agent Orange, the Lantern Corps leaders all uniting and all the oaths, along with something finally being brought into play at the end of BN, plus the art from Reis was top notch as usual Image United tough first issue of a big event book, seemed more of a setup for the following issues, at least Larsen does the layouts for the remaining issues, still enjoyable enough, although Fortress (the new character) is really annoying so far Powers Only really picked this issue because I love Mike Oemings art style (plus Bendis writing is usually a good sign) turned out to be a really cool comic, enjoyed it enough to go and get the first volume hc Ultimate Avengers Dan is right Ultimate Cap is a total badass, and Millar knows how to write him. Shame the rest of the story seems to be moving rather slowly. Criminal another series I've just started reading, think Brubaker is my favourite writer at the moment. This is a top quality crime comic book and the gritty art style really contributes to the feel of the book, current arc is only two issues in but it's been enough to hook me totally probably gonna get the 3 trades out for it now (or the deluxe hc ) Chew new arc started along with the return of an old face (with a new face ) total buddy cop issue and great art throughout plus there was also Iron Man (great), Thor (good, but not really giant sized, but worth it for the backup original Thor story ), Uncanny Xmen (Land's art wasn't that bad this issue)
Dan_Dare Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Man X-Men is cool this month. Really good action heavy issue that totally nails that unique X-Men feel to a team effort fight scene. Brilliant. Even Land wasn't his usual colossally wank self and, dare I say it, did a decent job. Hurrah.
Happenstance Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I might start up a new blog soon and I was thinking about reviewing various things when they come out and I was planning on doing comic reviews every week as well. Just wanted to see if any of you guys would be interested with helping with that, will make it easier if I could split up the reviews each week.
Happenstance Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Depending on how many more are interested, I look forward to the coming battles for who gets to review Invincible :p
Dan_Dare Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 vince is an arse to review. too much continuity!
Paj! Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I know you all laugh at me, but I dunno how to work Myxsssxs without just trawling through page after page hoping to find what you want? The search doesn't seem to find anything I want. Is there a site that tells me the dates comics were released at least? That would help.
ReZourceman Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Chew was so fucking awesome. 9.5/10 IMO.
Paj! Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 What are you after? Uncanny X-men (think just one issue I missed, dunno...I think last thing I read was magneto appearing), Invincible (last 4-5 maybe?) and Batman & Robin ( 4 and 5, less essential).
gmac Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Chew was so fucking awesome. 9.5/10 IMO. it was indeed, easily my favourite book atm Paj you can check most of the release dates on the official sites, there are some forums that collect the lists for that weeks comics (I know Mark Millars forums do complete listings) but don't know how long the posts stay up, but I'm sure the search function can be your friend there Happenstance, I'd be up for reviewing some books, would sure help me work on my writing skills
Dan_Dare Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Robert Kirkman also has a release list too I think
gmac Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 yeah the Image comics forum will show when the last 1-2 issues were released, but it's usually the 3rd Wed in the month for Invincible (I think)
Dan_Dare Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Yep. Vince was out last week. Uncanny X-Men was out this week too the Myxxs release threads are all date stamped, Paj. All you need to do is scan the first post on each to find out what's out that week. You can even use CTRL+F to quick scan through each page. I can get through a whole month of releases in about 5 mins that way, not hard. Man up
gmac Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Batman & Robin 4,5 & 6 were Sept 16th, Oct 7th and Nov 11th if that helps
ReZourceman Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Invincible Iron Man is solicited for next week. I'm dubious, especially as they solictied the last issue like two weeks early.
ReZourceman Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Also is this not the coolest poster ever?
