Happenstance Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Yeah apparently he was going to be in X3 but they wanted Josh Holloway and he didnt want the role because it was too close to Sawyer
ReZourceman Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Yeah apparently he was going to be in X3 but they wanted Josh Holloway and he didnt want the role because it was too close to Sawyer Oh right, that would have been pretty good casting actually. Can't remember if I mentioned here but Wolf-Man is out. Cannot recommend it enough, especially if you like Invincible. Same kinda writing, and set in the same universe so a few easter eggs like Art Rosenbaum makes his costume Etc. But yeah, bloody amazing.
Happenstance Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Yeah you've mentioned it before, I still need to give it a try
Rummy Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 With some creative googling I've managed to encounter the first episode of Wolverine and the X-Men, only a few minutes in but I think I might just end up liking it, I can see it looks rather alot like X-Men Evolution stylewise, is it being done by the same team? I guess I'm moving this more away from comic BOOK disussion and into other territory, but I shall continue to watch it anyhow. I don't think I'm allowed to provide a link to such content either, but I don't know what I'd do if a PM asking me for one turned up in my inbox. On the actual topic of comic bookery, what'd be people's advice for my best fix of spiderman and xmen comic goodness each month? I currently get Ultimate, then Essential Xmen and Astonishing Spiderman, only Astonishing has become 2 weekly, just ran The Other(and I already had the graphic novel of it) and pads out half the comic with old stories(like old school from the Stan Lee days) and crap I can't really be bothered with reading sometimes. Is there anything better, does anyone know? For such a fan, I'm a bit noob when it comes to comics.

Stick with Ultimate (considering its getting cancelled...lol - ie you might aswell get the entire run) Do you have access to US comics? If not, your options are small.
Happenstance Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Yeah its harder when you arent getting the US comics as they are quite far behind. Plus with Spider-Man you are in the middle of and have bad storylines coming up. Ultimate Spider-Man is your best bet for now. Rez is all Ultimate getting cancelled? Id only heard something was going to happen at the end of Ultimate Origins to shake that universe up and everything else was speculation. Unless I missed an announcement.

Id only heard something was going to happen at the end of Ultimate Origins to shake that universe up and everything else was speculation. Unless I missed an announcement. Yeah its weird, it was just casually mentioned by the guy who edits the Ult Universe on an interview in IGN and I was like...WHA!? News to me. But Ultimate X-Men is getting cancelled at issue 100 (3 issues left) and Ultimate Fantastic Four is getting cancelled at issue 60 (No idea how many left....I buy it but don't read it now cos' its shiiiiiite...really) (All else is continuing) Then after Ultimatum, "Ultimate Avengers" is starting up by Mark Millar artist unannounced. Which makes three books (Ultimates 4 seperate from Ult Avengers) and potentially room for one more regular book (as they stated they'd never do more than four) but that is unannounced as yet also.
Paj! Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 To be honest, the UK reprints are very good value for money. I can't bring myself to collect the current issues anymore, as each individual issue is the same price as one collector's edition or whatever. I randomly stopped collecting Essential X-Men, only cause my newsagent closed down, and I subscriberd to Spider-Man, so never stopped getting that. I want to collect Batman more really, now.
rokhed00 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 BatGirl going to rape CatWoman? Hate to say it, but the body on the first and face on the second look decidedly male.
Paj! Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Hate to say it, but the body on the first and face on the second look decidedly male. I've always thought that. Someone on another site has the first as an avatar, at it looks entirely odd.
DomJcg Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 batgirl looks fatish? she looks plum or something, baby fat? un toned?
chairdriver Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Isn't that Batwoman? Famously a lipstick lesbian.
Paj! Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 No it's from Batman Confidential or whatever. The one with Batman Tales that aren't set in the current time period. I saw the issues in Forbidden Planet. Called The Bat, The Cat and The Bat! or something.
Ashley Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I love how for Willow to see her guide helper magic woman thing she must be very close to orgasm. Randomly sexual but fun. Catwowan looks odd. The lower body is slender and the upper body is..not.
rokhed00 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 batgirl looks fatish? she looks plum or something, baby fat? un toned? That's not fat, look at the arms and hands, and the shape of the body, it's a mans body.
DomJcg Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I'll agree with you on the first picture but thats about it, i dislike her face however it looks so.. i dunno, just odd
Happenstance Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Well Bendis has come out and said that Ultimate Spider-Man will continue so im happy, seems to be the only Spider-Man comic worth reading these days after BND
ReZourceman Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Have you seen the Dark Reign stuff? And teaser images of Iron Man? They totally flew over my head this passed week, but theres been a metric shit tonne of images and info released (Dark Avengers? Infinity Gauntlet Doom? etc) Ill compose a post later.
Happenstance Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Nope havent seen any of it yet, i'll look forward to reading your post then
ReZourceman Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Post Secret Invasion general teaser image PS Invincible IronMan is doing flash back stories post SI, so everything seems to point to him dieing. - Bendis is leaving Mighty Avengers at issue 20. Post SI storyline - Some kind of Dark Avengers title announced.
Happenstance Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Should be interesting then. Id say with that image being released and not held back then it wont be what we think. Just read SI#6, I think its better than the previous ones but overall this event has been far to slow to get to the point
ReZourceman Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I literally cannot wait till tomorrow. Inv and SI. *Explodes* And then onto the third super hero shindig. *Wheeee*
Happenstance Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Oh yeah I read Invincible aswell......bloody hell!
ReZourceman Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Oh yeah I read Invincible aswell......bloody hell! zomfgggggzzzz
Shorty Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I'm selling the first 2 invincible trades on ebay and they're currently not getting much response. 5 hr to go and the price is stupid good (both at £1.60 each) so send me a PM if you're interested in starting an awesome series and i will send you the link. They're both in as-new condition.
