Dan_Dare Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 What do you read Dante? You post a lot of news but you never comment on anything! --- It's been a really good couple of weeks for comics- I've read shitloads. I think once Marvel's Heroic Age gets in to full swing it'll be really good; It's actually rather nice not knowing that Marvel are building towards a specific event book. Since Civil War it's been a series of temporary set ups with obvious limited running- As soon as Osborn came to power it was all about how he was going to go down one day. Now, if Marvel are to be believed, they're not pushing the events and are simply letting the new age play out. Obviously something big is coming along, though. Question is what? Steve Rodgers and Iron Man have both had visions of the same killer walkers (possibly Stark Tech) but that's about it. I have a feeling that might be a big Avengers story but not a line-wide event like Secret Invasion, which was frankly nuts. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 What do you read Dante? You post a lot of news but you never comment on anything! Green Lantern, Batman and Brightest Day also I have mention comics with Rez in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Dear Dante Step 1. READ INVINCIBLE FROM THE START. Step 2. Appreciate life in new ways. From ReZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Invincible is fairly un-life-changing, compared to a lot of stuff I've read. It's good though. Never a bad/dull moment. Always leaves you satisfied, having enjoyed what you've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Come on though, the artwork is so amazingly justifiable. And as far as "conventional" super heroics go....it will not be beat. Also its only 70 issues in and still amazing BLAH BLAH. Fuck you all. I feel NO JOY comparable to the absolute inner peace, excitement and thorough happiness I feel when I read new issues of Invincible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Personally, I found The Walking Dead to be my favorite. I must have read, what, 60 odd issues in less than a week when I got in to it. For me, it's up there with Watchmen as a testament to the power of the medium at it's best. Though, obviously, I heart 'Vince pretty hard. ---- new comic day! Kind of! Hoping Second Coming #2 comes out this afternoon, as can be the case with event books. Usually, on The Place We Don't Name, Wednesday is dominated by curios and DC releases but Siege etc was always much quicker. Fingers crossed.

Paj! Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Uncanny X-Force revealed: Not sure why the new title and relaunch, or what happened to old team (then again I haven't finished Second Coming, which may explain what happens to half the team ). Hi Deadpool and Psylocke. You're appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Gotta wonder why Deadpool is on the team though. You'd think they'd need to be able to trust people fully on an X-Force team and Deadpool is a complete wildcard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The new X-Force is Failsauce. Mostly because of Deadpool. Also because of Psylocke and her racist face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 well it's Marvel and their solution to most things at the moment is to add more Deadpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 So who's following Shadowland? I read the first issue but I doubt i'll carry on with it. Ive never really liked Daredevil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 funnily enough I've been reading Daredevil but didn't pick up Shadowland last week for some reason, probably pick it up this week along with DD but this week is all about the creator owned titles for me, DMZ, Daytripper, Unwritten, Chew and Savage Dragon.

ReZourceman Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I want/need to catch up on Savage Dragon. Theres some serious gaps in my collection though. But I really loved it a fair bit when I was reading it at work. Got upto just after the She-Dragon 50/body swap bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Dan, what do you mean by Psylocke's "racist face"? --- I'm loving Mark Millar's Wolverine omnibus atm...it kinda deals with the concept of "Wolverine vs. the Marvel Universe" in a really good way. And I love Elsbeth Von Strucker. Stunning hair and outlook on life. And I enjoy the use of Northstar. That said, John Romita Jr.'s art in this isn't his best IMO...or at least not as polished as his stuff was in the 90's/2000's on Spidey. I LOVED the inclusion of Shoc, from said Spidey Romita comics , as one of the HydraHandDawnOfTheWhiteLight victims. Presumably something Jr. had a hand in, as IIRC, only he ever drew him. I noticed Greg Land covers and was sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mainly sitting with 145 - present with about 14 issues from around 80 - 115, plus the original mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Just that she's part of that bad, bad trend in comics where the oriental characters are made western to be acceptable. They wanted a Japanese character but they did it by transforming her from a british body- only wrong, because all of a sudden she's a ninja and wears a kimono, uses a katana and dresses like an anime slut. It's kind of like Iron Fist, only he was updated massively by Fraction and Brubaker (check that out if you can it's ace) and he works again now. Psylocke is just...ridiculous, and her costume is everything wrong with comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I love(d) Psylocke (when I first read "proper" comics (X-Men being the first of these). I agree wholeheartedly about the costume though. I only recently actually made sense of the body swap business, and as far as I can tell, it's not like Ultimate Psylocke, in which it was literally Caucasian - Asian, both bodies (Betsy and Kwannon) were "merged" to become kinda half-caste, and to look alike. So that semi-excuses why she's never drawn as "fully" asian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
