Ok then, now that weve finished poking the Paj to get a reaction ive got another stolen topic for us.

 

What are your top 10 comics of the decade? (Not single issues)

 

Once again i'll come back with mine later after some thought.

I had meant to do this earlier, but I'm having trouble remembering what was this year and what was last

 

 

BEST NEW HERO OR TEAM (debut in 2010)

Im suprised youve got Wolf-Man so high, I knew you liked it but I didnt realise it was more than say TWD or Chew.

[ReZourceman]

Im suprised youve got Wolf-Man so high, I knew you liked it but I didnt realise it was more than say TWD or Chew.

 

Yeah I absolutely love the thing. I really like the artwork, I really love the characters, and its *reasonably* original. And of course I have some artwork so I'm biased. :p

[Paj!]

Hmm.

 

In no particular order (though I prefer some to others obvs)

 

New X-Men (Retitled "X-Men" - issues 114 - 156)

 

Astonishing X-Men (1-24 + Giant-Size)

 

All-Star Superman

Grant Morrison's Batman run (spanning a zillion titles/years)

 

Seven Soldiers Of Victory

The Walking Dead

 

Invincible

 

EDIT:

 

Ultimate Spider-Man too (with obligatory shoving Frank Quitely into the equation)

Among other stunners.

Edited December 13, 2010 by Paj!

[ReZourceman]

Actually you're both right, Astonishing definitely needs to be in there. Feel like a prick now.

[Paj!]

Oh I'll add Ultimate Spidey! That's so stun too. I knew I was missing one.

[ReZourceman]

New round of teasers from Marvel.

 

Surely 616 right? (Edit; Yeah Spider-Woman in the video) wonder wtf it is.

 

 

[Paj!]

From the image, it could be a stunning thing where the heroes actually deal with real world crises.

[Happenstance]

I think i'll wait for more info before I make any real comments on those

[Paj!]

[Happenstance]

Gosh, whats Magneto doing dying his hair brown and wearing one of Cyclops' visors???

[Paj!]

...anyway.

 

I'm glad they're adressing the fact Cyclops has become more militaristic/rash/organising kill squads/putting children in danger etc. The fans have noticed it for ages.

[Happenstance]

I still want them to try and direct it back to the older style X-Men, going off on adventures or missions. I'll admit there have been some good moments in this new direction but overall im just not that interested in reading about the entire mutant race living together and as you say, becoming more militaristic.

[Paj!]

I agree. As an idea I suppose it's interesting and it "makes sense", but I'm so bored of not having a core cast. It's cool having so many B-listers and C-listers, but yeah. That's why I love Astonishing (especially Xenogenesis), as it's actually a team of X-Men, not a society of them.

[ReZourceman]
