Dan_Dare Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Yeah, cool no? Makes me wish Siege had done the same and had some more meaningful tie-ins. This week: Thor was quality! Thor vs Clor beatdown and it was sick. Nuff said, really. and Secret Avengers: Fuck me it's good. Like...the absolute tits. I can't even believe how absolutely badass this book is. By the end of #1 They've already introduced the team, established the status quo of the book, set up two arcs of story and ended on a AAA twist that I had no idea was coming. Yes.

Happenstance Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dan, ReZ requested everything about Secret Avengers be put into spoiler tags for now. Probably best to honour his request or he'll cry like a little girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Theres been some good comics so far this week. Im liking whats going on in the two Green Lantern titles. War of the Supermen may have ended a little easily but overall I found it enjoyable. Only comic ive read so far that im finding trouble caring about is the return of Bruce Wayne. As for Secret Avengers: Im liking it. I wasnt entirely sold on the team, some like Moonknight and Valkerie ive never really cared for but it seems to be working well. I also like that all the Avengers teams so far seem to be working with more tactical SHIELD members like Maria Hill, Sharon Carter and apparently Victoria Hand (although I know shes not with an avengers team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah she is. She's Steve's liaison with the New Avengers Oh right, id read that she was working with Luke Cage and the Thunderbolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 That actually makes way more sense. You might be right- I'd heard it was kind of 'Steve's Angels' with one of them for each of the three Avengers Teams. Find out fo sho next week though. Anyone reading Spiderman atm? Shed is turning in to a brilliant arc. Bachalo isn't usually my cup of tea but there's something about this story that makes him click. It might actually be my favorite looking book right now.

Happenstance Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I tried the last issue of Spider-Man but im still not getting along with the art. I think im just gonna wait until Gauntlet is over completely before I try getting back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachalo isn't usually my cup of tea but there's something about this story that makes him click. It might actually be my favorite looking book right now. Yes! I mentioned a while back I randomly started reading ASM because I saw it was Bachalo. He's so essential. Loving the story too...Lizard has never really been done "well". I remember there was some team-up with Calypso done by Todd McFarlane in the 90's that was supposed to be good, but apart from that... But yeah, this was great. Except for the pages done by another artist (presumably Bachalo ran out of time?, the issues seem to be out every week though so I'm not suprised). Re; Return of Bruce Wayne. I basically have no idea what's going on other than how it all vaguely ties into B+R with the portraits and stuff. I never read Final Crisis or anything..would that help? The art's nice though.

Dan_Dare Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I love how the Return of Bruce Wayne is actually exactly the same as Captain America: Reborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks Dan for making me catch up with Second Coming...it's so awesome. The shit just hit the fan in this week's X Force. Or rather, you can see the shit approaching the fan. I love how people actually get hurt in these battles. Sorry Hellion, you have no hands . Sorry Iceman, you have third degree burns . Sorry Nightcrawler, Vanisher and Ariel, you're dead. LULZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yes, it all started because I was interested in alt worlds stories and I wanted to read up on DC history then started reading previews of DC comics and old scans of the comics. After that I start to jump onto Green Lantern comics then following the storyline from Blackest Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that I start to jump onto Green Lantern comics then following the storyline from Blackest Night. Oh thats awesome. If you like alternate worlds stuff, you should maybe give the new Avengers comic a try. That looks to be seriously other worldly spanning with like...three different universe type hopping type characters. Etc. And cannot wait to read Green Lantern and GLC. Those light up rings are out soon. Actually cannot wait for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Has anyone read Superman For All Seasons (by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale)? I just did...it's fantastic. Really, really emotive/evocative/great. I'm gonna start reading Batman: Long Hallowe'en too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yeah ive got those two in trade, both very good stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I didn't think I'd read anything of Loeb's "good" stuff, apart from Hush. But to be honest, that's really overrated. Read his Ultimates stuff recently to understand the horror. And I also hear his Hulk stuff is insane (in a bad way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I quite enjoyed his first arc in Hulk but thats it. Have you read Spider-Man: Blue? Thats by Loeb and Sale, probably my favourite Spidey story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
