EEVILMURRAY Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 When are the silhouetted ones going to be revealed?
Dan_Dare Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Presumably when #1 drops! they've not even solicited cover art or anything so it looks like they'll be keeping it secret the whole way. Kinda dig the idea, personally. I'll definitely be reading, so I'm happy to be surprised for once. The problem with being a web savvy comic fan these days is that genuine surprises are hard to come by.
ReZourceman Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Read the latest Iron Man which ends the Stark Disassembled arc, not really impressed. Overall it just feels pointless, Starks journey inside his head pretty much had no reason and now he seems to be missing at least up to Civil War it kind of feels like a cheap way of getting him back to being a hero again......just intime for his new movie, what a shock I disagree completely. Sure, he doesn't remember doing what he did, but he still did it. It's not like Brand New Day. I think it'll be a really interesting way of looking at his character and the choices he made. I think it was fucking amazing, and the last issue really hammered home his internal demons. Which I think was just brilliantly done. As Dan said he still did those things, and he's now going to have to deal with having done them, with now looking at it from a couple of different perspectives now (both as an "outsider" looking at what he did, and since everythings panned out) if you see what I mean. ----------- Oh my fucking god, I thought The Walking Dead was brilliant. I'd go as far as to say its up there with my favourite issues. It was such a good tone and status quo setter. Set it all out nicely, great new characters, and Douglas has got such a distinctive voice when I read him, he really jumped out from the story for me. Fantastic dialogue also. ------------ Why aren't more people reading Chew! ------------- I am LOVING Savage Dragon. Starts off a bit....painfully old school but I think it gets really brill! Feels quite Invincible-ish. I'm on issue 27. I've got upto issue 34, and then about half of the other issues (so I've got 80 issues ish in total, but with gaps) But yeah. Great stuff. Artwork is sometimes "Bad" but on the whole its great, and its impressive that its all done by him (well, writing, pencils, inks) and sometimes the artwork looks totally awesome, and quite nice and old school. Also a bit cheesy. Just really like it. Recommended. GMAC, where you up to? Does it get better?
gmac Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I've only read the mini and from 145 upwards so can't really comment. What I have read I've enjoyed Yeah more people need to read Chew, writing and art awesome as usual! Plus the first trade is cheap! and just read the first 42 issues of Brubakers Cap run, that's amazing stuff

ITS £5.99 ON PLAY FOR THE TRADE (And Amazon I think) THATS £1.20 PER ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan_Dare Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Anyone here like the look of Iron Man 2? thought so.
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I really should get around to watching the first...
chairdriver Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Anyone here like the look of Iron Man 2? thought so. Black Widow = yesyes`Yes We now know she has combat reflexes and the vault feat on one of her clicks.
Paj! Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 "Still talking shit? Go on MySpace And leave me comment"
Dan_Dare Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 That's all kinds of wrong. All kinds of win. huurrrm! She's new, right? Oh, Gage. Just keep doing what you do so well
ReZourceman Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Oh god I want to be the guy in that trailer getting a mouthful of SJ Vadge.
gmac Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 So JMS is gonna take over writing Superman? One of the few writers who would make me interested in reading Superman
Happenstance Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Im still bitter with JMS over One More Day even though it wasnt just his story but i'll be interested to see how he handles Superman.
gmac Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I think there's only one man to blame for BND/OMD and that's Quesada. I enjoyed JMS on Thor so we'll see
Dan_Dare Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 OMD was so shit. Personally, I think it's high time Spider-Man gets his shit together and starts growing out of all the pubescent awkwardness they seem intent on inflicting on him constantly. seriously, how did they go from Stark employee to shitty photographer again? AARGH! Hopefully, Heroic Age Avengers get a paycheck. Maybe then we can cut the crap and have him in the big leagues where he belongs.
gmac Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 but that's not where Marvel want him, they want him to be the awkward, cash-strapped, wise-cracking teen forever
Happenstance Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I think there's only one man to blame for BND/OMD and that's Quesada. I enjoyed JMS on Thor so we'll see Yeah but he still went along with it so he still gets some of my wrath :p The regression back to old Spidey was annoying but I could have accepted it if it had been done right. No stupid deal with the devil to ger rid of the marriage. If they hated it so much then just let them get a divorce. They also shouldnt have used this as an excuse to just change whatever they wanted in Spider-Mans history. There was an article while it was happening with Joe Q asking him about all these changes and it was like it was written by a child, his answers just reeked of "I dont care how we changed things, I just want things changed because im the boss and I dont like them." Another thing would have been for Quesada to have not gone on about just how much he hated the marriage for over a year before they took it away, it made it look like this was just a personal vendetta on his part and that Marvel couldnt let their characters make any significant progression. I mean this is why I used to really prefer Marvel over DC, they didnt pull any of this reset stuff (maybe small things but OMD/BND was like a DC Crisis event)
ReZourceman Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I might download Superman, out of interest only.
ReZourceman Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I could have gone to a midnight showing but cannot due to other arrangements. It would have all been comic people too. (as in comic fans not....yeah)
