Ashley Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Phonogram looks interesting. Anyone read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Phonogram looks interesting. Anyone read it? I've not read it but I know the first series was extremely popular in my local comic shop. People always wanting it and it always being sold out very quickly, so its probably great. No idea what its about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Music? I dunno, from what I recall its about people who get special powers while listening to music (britpop I think but I am probably wrong). Sounds bizarre but intruiging. Shall try and remember to keep an eye out for it while in Brum tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 PS Buy Invincible. Its a bit like Dexter..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I doubt that... Y: The Last Man is first on my list of comic books I must buy. I will accept that. I want it aswell...but I want the entire thing which I don't believe is out yet (in hardback/complete volume form) Well you should still buy Invincible. Its similar to Dexter (obviously Im stretching here) but in the sense that they both have a lot of blood and are some of the best their medium have to offer.

Mundi Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Y: The Last Man is first on my list of comic books I must buy. Yes you must. Been reading up on it (on volume 10) and it is a superb comic that I recommend to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomJcg Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yes you must.Been reading up on it (on volume 10) and it is a superb comic that I recommend to anyone. Its pretty good really, but i felt it didn't go into depth in places, oh and it had alot of fanservice, which while not bad, felt uneeded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is if you were referring to all the lesbianism. Too me the only problem I have with is that it jumps between time and places too often. As in, all of a sudden a year has passed.

Dan_Dare Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I just re-read The Tomorrow People- vol.1 (#1-6) of Ultimate X-Men this is really, really good. Millar's writing is perfectly pitched as modern, edgy and politically charged just as any good X-Men writing should be, and the art and inks are absolutely gorgeous. The new continuity gives a clarity and freshness to the core conflict between Xavier and Magneto that's always been a bit muddled in the normal Marvel Universe- with it generally being established later in to the continuity by several writers over time instead of by one at once. the only low point for me is in the last issue which features the single clumsiest bit of dialogue I've ever seen in a comic that Millar should really find embarrassing. Magneto lets off some kind of pulse of energy and causes a bit of a panic Colossus: Marvel Girl! What's Magneto doing?! MG:He's let off an electromagnetic pulse and taken control of every nuclear missile in the country, Colossus! What does it look like? I mean....wut? That's a direct quote for you there. Utter, utter pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 yeah all the stuff I have is sick. The Weapon X stuff is awesome. Not sure when it goes down hill (these things tend to eventually) but I always enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 yeah all the stuff I have is sick. The Weapon X stuff is awesome. Not sure when it goes down hill (these things tend to eventually) but I always enjoyed it. About issue 60-70 ish. I read up until about 20, then had to drop it, and picked it back up again when it got shit. o____0 And now Ultimatums happening and its got two issues left finishing on 100. *Tuts* Do you read Ultimate Spider-Man? Ultimates? Both are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I read Ult. X-Men for a fair while. I might reread it actually. I liked the edginess too, actually. I think I read up to when Rogue was a regular member of the team...not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Inspired by Dan, I've been rereading Ult. X-Men for the first time in a few years. I'm in two minds about Millar's style; I like the abundance of long, witty comments, but the fact that they would never say anything like that in the situations they do jarrs a bit. Still, it's interesting and unusual. I also love the fact that you are actually forced to think about which side you'd be on, if you were involved, the way Cyclops does. Realistically I'd just join the Brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
