Daft Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah, I understood very little of that. All I remember if Gambit from the cartoon and he was amazing. Him and Rouge had banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 He basically stayed the same as the cartoon for so long in the comics people realised he was just a bit of a caricature/undeveloped. Rogue got a life, he didn't. They're over now and she's gonna be banging Magneto soon enough anyway so it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 That sounds all wrong. Uuurgh, How/why did they fuck up Gambit?! I'm annoyed now. He was bloody abysmal in the Wolverine film, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 They added a kinda cool bit in the late 90's revealing his not-so-clean past with Mr. Sinister and how he actually led the Marauders (mutant evil people who work for Sinister) into the NY tunnels and then carry out the Mutant Massacre, a big event in X-Men history, causing a lot of pain and suffering to the team as well as the Morlocks, the kinda ugly/rubbish mutants that lived in the tunnels undisturbed and peacefully for years. He didn't realise what was going to happen and left, after saving a little girl (who would go on to become the awesome x-woman Marrow). After years of not telling the X-men, when they found out, they dumped him in the Arctic to die/find his own way. I liked that. Then he just came back. And no one really cared. Which annoyed me.

Happenstance Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If you are going to keep mentioning the Kraven poster thats also supposed to have been released then at least post it Paj because I havent seen it anywhere else yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) Ok, let me look for it. Someone posted a photo of a long poster from a con of some sort I think, on CBR. It had the phrase on the left, and Kraven on the right, amongst the city, and it looked like he was holding onto part of the letters also partially visible in Nova's poster. EDIT: Can't find the image, but just confirmed that indeed, Kraven is on the shortlist/teasers, as well as Falcon, on the CBR forums. Edited August 4, 2010 by Paj!

gmac Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 this looks interesting, no info on who is writing/drawing yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Interesting, yeah. I find it hard to believe that Rodgers' Avengers would easily square off with the T-bolts team he sanctioned but I guess we'll see how that pans out. At any rate, Rodgers vs Crossbones could be a lot of fun- He was, afterall, the sniper outside the court house and I don't think they've met since. I wonder where Cage and the other high ranking 'day job' T-Bolts will stand, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Anyone else read OMIT part 2 yet then? I really hope that theres another twist with May's recovery as "Super powered CPR" as the reason for her survival is just rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The new man without fear is blates gonna be Moon Knight! Hopefully. this looks interesting, no info on who is writing/drawing yet though Looks like it'll probably just be the TBolts comic, as that is Kev Walker artwork. Awesome. I just purchased volume 1 - 3 of 100 Bullets, due to always hearing good things about it, and having just been informed of the premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Comic book artist Adam Hughes has done a cover for re-release of Japan version of Bayonetta. His artwork is amazing. Edited August 5, 2010 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Turns out I wasn't reading Haunted Knight, I'm reading Dark Victory. I love how it picks up right from the end of The Long Halloween. So awesome, all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I thought it was Dark Victory that you'd ordered. Thats another one I need to order eventually, I find I have to be in the right mood for Batman books. Hoping Blackest Night, Fables and Spider-Man collection 4 will turn up today. I want something new to read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I couldn't sleep last night and ended up reading the second entire half of the Bendis/Maleev Daredevil collection, as well as most of Uncanny X-Men Sisterhood, which only came yesterday morning (but is incredibly short, so it's fine). I need the next Daredevil collection to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ah, I must have told my brother I ordered HK instead of DV. I can read this kind of Batman whenever. It's just completely involving, grounded, dark and moving. Play have dispatched Joker's Asylum and The Invisibles. Can't wait. This was funny to read, 75 Action Comics covers that are worth their weight in gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I tend to prefer Batman when he is showing off just how clever or skilled he is rather than the darker moments and unfortunately id say there hasnt been enough of that in the past few years. You should take a look at Super Dickery, its a brilliant site collecting loads of weird comic covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I've spent the last 3 days "asquiring" the entirety of Age of Apocalypse, including the 10th anniversary issues, in complete reading order, and now it doesn't "work". It's just forever opening, and slows down my computer. Ugly duckling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 6, all rapid, so took ages. If you tried opening just part 1, it would ask "Where's part 2" and so on, but now it just forever loads. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munch Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hmmmm, do I or don't I? Dark Phoenix Saga - 30th Anniversary Edition I have so many things on their way to me in the post I might not be able to justify the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It's not worth it. I got the digest versions cheap (they're like £5 each or something) of the first few years of the "new" team, including the DP saga. It's hyped up anyway. Good at the time/influential, but it's still Claremont writing... I actually own the issue with Cyclops holding her body. Seems to not be worth a lot though.

Munch Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Thank you, my mental wallet is now around £40 better off, now hmmm, what to buy! lol I think im just too much of a sucker for a hardback, they look so good on my shelves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
