Dante Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Brightest Day# 3 Preview Hmm Aliveman powers are familiar. Edited June 1, 2010 by Dante
Happenstance Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Some dude has seen the Captain America costume So it sounds a fair bit like the version from #1 of The Ultimates, only even more adjusted for a military look/ purpose. To me, that's an essential change because I just cannot see anyone taking the full costume seriously, especially not the original 1940s version. Hopefully we'll see a shot soon like the one of Thor the other day. When was that posted? I did a quick search and Digital Spy posted it yesterday but I read that description word for word a few weeks ago.
Paj! Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Anyone else read Elektra: Assassin by Frank Miller here? (I have a no feeling) It's effing amazing. Once it's over you feel a sense of perfection emmanating from it. It's so self-contained and well-told and you're left so satisfied. And yet it purposely has hardly explanation of events, until a bigger picture becomes clear. The anti-Claremont writing style. Love. The art is mind-blowing. I wish more comics used interesting artists. Most use good artists, or at least ones with a style...I hate "generic" artists like the guy who does X-Men Forever (but at least the art matches the story in quality). But yeah. Miller may have soured people towards him of late with All-Star Batman (which I think people took too seriously, and had the wrong artist on it ) and I know loads of peeps hated DKSA (which makes no sense to me, I think it's amazing), but this is a PERFECT use of the comic book format to tell a challenging, intelligent, badass story.
Happenstance Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Hope thats Avengers cap and not WWII cap, looks a bit too modern otherwise, even if it is dirtied up a bit.
Dan_Dare Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I was thinking that. The material is too 'tech' for ww2. They should use the one I posted from The Ultimates- it leads nicely in to that new design.
Paj! Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I like it. Are we sure the film is going to be mainly set in the 40's?
Happenstance Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 According to everything thats been said so far. I think its right to have it mainly during WWII anyway, you need to set Cap up as a war hero before bringing him to the present with the Avengers.
Dan_Dare Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I only just noticed this: I love stuff like that. It really shows the power of a good image.
Shorty Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 The rest of the Cap pics are on here and can be clicked for full size versions. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45326 I reckon this is his modern day outfit, the WWII will surely look more like
Happenstance Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Supposed Thor costume concept art: Hasnt been confirmed by Marvel yet, not sure myself as it does look photoshopped.
Paj! Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Well it's a CG/digital rendering like the Cap ones, so you shouldn't be suprised it looks photoshopped. :p I like the boots, and it looks cool. Dunno how norse warrior it is, but that might be a good thing.
Paj! Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Fair enough. --- Just finished Ultimate Spidey: War of the Symbiotes. I love how Ultimate Spider-Man is consistantly good. There's nothing wrong with it. It's always enjoyable and well thought out. (although I quite liked the idea of Gwen Stacy being in possession of a symbiote of her own forever. Thought that could have been an interesting twist on Carnage. But then I suppose sacraficing her powers has helped to flesh out Ultimate Venom (literally and figuratively) a bit more. ) I'm glad they dealt with the supposed canonical nature of the videogame...seemed they ignored it when they itroduced Silver Sable in the comics, but the now they explain it a bit better. Question though; is WotS (the first bit set "4 months ago") set before Spidey meets Silver Sable for the first time? I assume so, he asks Iron Man who she is when he mentions her.
Happenstance Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Been a while since I read that arc so I couldnt say
Paj! Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Oh. I was relying on you Happenstance. I'll just assume the Sable arc is set afterwards. --- I'm in a flurry of "need to buy graphic novels!". I've got an amazon wishlist, and currently in my basket are Ultimate Spider-Man 22 (to finish it all off), and Ultimate X-Men vol. 13. I could then add vol. 14 (which happens to have my favourite title; "Phoenix?". I just love the concept of the question, and the situations it suggests.), or ADD a vol.1 of a new series I've heard is great. Right now I'm thinking one of either X-Factor, Ms. Marvel or She-Hulk? Any thoughts from people here on these three titles? I've only heard great things.
Happenstance Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Currently the trade section of my amazon wishlist has got 75 items in it
ReZourceman Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I'm considering smashing Exiles actually. They do 19 issue ultimate collection TPBs that piqued my interest. I was looking on Wikipedia yesterday, and obviously not all have been mentioned but theres like nearly 2 million Marvel Universes. I lolled. I'd quite like another re-telling of the MU, like an Earth 1 type ongoing or something.
Happenstance Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Was Invincible #72 on any of the release lists for this week? I never noticed it but IGN have got a review up for it.
ReZourceman Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Yeah it was. CBR had a preview with release date this week (comics came out on Thursday in the US this week) and other places had a preview. In fact the CBR preview was like 8 pages, so I skipped that one. Just looked at the 5 page one lol.
