ReZourceman Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 FUCKS SAKE. Black Hand and Nekron are in the new Heroclix set, but they are chase figures. Which means their ebay value will be £50-£75. Brilliant. Fuck them. Why do they make such popular characters chase?!!??! UGGGHH. But they announced the next sets. And this is one of the best sculpts ever. Oh Paj will love Black Hands dial.
Dan_Dare Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Wow they're really expanding on GotG, aren't they? Lets hope we see it hold in Invincible later down the line. The Guardian interviews Mark Millar.
Oxigen_Waste Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 What the hell happened to my posts? I never got around to reading ReZ's answer and was about to... where are they?
Paj! Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Lots of posts got deleted in the server thing the other day.
ReZourceman Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Oh god not my massive fucking post. UGHHHHHHHHHHH. Basically Oxigen, the gist of it was; You couldn't be more wrong, please see the following for further info; Chew Orc Stain Y The Last Man Kick Ass Four Eyes Locke and Key Scalped The Walking Dead 100 Bullets DMZ Criminal The Sword Casanova And thats not naming loads of super hero comic books that are really good, and are doing new different and interesting things. Theres quite literally too many to name I can't even remember them all.
Happenstance Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I feel after watching the Scott Pilgrim trailer that I should give the first volume a try, anyone else read it?

Come on, while there's not a single title on that list that isn't good, there's not a single one that's "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS AWESOME". My point is that nowadays comics are once more becoming literature's weakest outing... in the sense that they're not fullfilling their potential! The themes in comics are gradually growing more juvenile. Also, I personally don't like Y The Last Man, never really got why people like it so much... I feel after watching the Scott Pilgrim trailer that I should give the first volume a try, anyone else read it? It's quite cool. ^^

Things like Orc Stain, Four Eyes are completely unique and highly detailed absolutely beautiful books, in the sense that certain films don't give the reaction of "OH MY FUCKING GOD" but are still mind blowing pieces of work. What books from the glory days you're talking about would you note are better than what we have now?

What books from the glory days you're talking about would you note are better than what we have now? Almost all my faves are from the glorious 80's/90's golden age of comics! As far as series go, it doesn't really get any better than The Invisibles, Transmetropolitan, The Sandman, Preacher or Bone! I won't get into one shots like V for Vendetta or Ronin.
Dan_Dare Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 In other 'Oxigen_Waste is wrong' news: Anyone read T-Bolts and New Avengers yet? two of the best issues in ages. T-Bolts especially is absolutely ace.
Paj! Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I didn't expect U.S.Agent to die/be cut into bits in Thunderbolts. Hmm. Stature stuns. I forgot she existed.
Dan_Dare Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Yeah that was kinda mental. I like U.S Agent. I don't want him to die- and it's possible he'll survive. If anyone can handle that kind of injury, it's a super soldier. also: Yes please.
chairdriver Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 34 points of "Cunts know what 4 damage and 19 defense feels like, and they do not want to know what it feels like when I invest in lunge."
Dan_Dare Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Speaking of too good,... final page of Mighty Avengers is WIN.
Oxigen_Waste Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Do you actually read The Walking Dead? Not anymore I don't. I read it all the way up to after the governor dies . 50 or 51 or something. I quite liked how the characters embrace the whole "downfall of civilization" thing, but other than that I was severely underwhelmed by it's lack of themes. Yeah, it's pretty cool, but it's got nothing to say! *sigh* In other 'Oxigen_Waste is wrong' news Wait, you're actually trying to tell me you think modern comics are BETTER than the ones I mentioned? I mean, I get that you'd defend them, but to actually say they're better?
Paj! Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 He's the first original member revealed so far right?
Dan_Dare Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 na, him and Brit. (Although Brit hasn't been a member for long, just since Conquest ended.)
