Tellyn Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ReZ ain't lying about the Astounding Wolf-Man guys, it's bloody awesome. I enjoyed it much more than Invincible volume 1 (sorry Dom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Wolf-Man Volume 1 is indeed better than Invincible Volume 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I love how I never wrote 'heh' until I read Invincible [/random]. Wolfman is also awesome btw, but the characters aren't as sexy, lolol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not_so_tiny Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Not really comic book news....but it's a book and I didn't know where else to post this, but take a look at this a Star Wars horror book :S http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=9355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 so yeah! Invincible vol 2 has been consumed. I think it has less 'wow' factor than vol 1- there's nothing comprable to #7- but it's still fantastic stuff. The writing is spectacular, the characters are nuanced and deep, the humour is as good as ever. Still my fsvourite book in a LONG time. This volume is just a continuation of what was already established but it's by on means the lesser collection for it. Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 He was good. Totally confused me with that alien invasion bit though. I can tell he's going to be cropping up big time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 So Final Crisis issue 7 is out this week. Also Irredeemable by Mark Waid looks AWESOME. Fair bit of info on it, here ; http://www.comicscontinuum.com I rarely (see;never) really veer off from the big three, but this looks brill.

Dan_Dare Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Just read Superman: Secret Identity cool premise: How a guy in our world (not DC land) is called Clark Kent by his parents. He lives in Kansas and for the family joke he gets relentlessly bullied and cast out. Then he gets super powers. It's pretty cool. Kind of a 'what if?' realist take on Superman- what it might actually be like to have those powers and how the world might react. At times it felt a bit too much like a standard Superman story but the character insight and the quality of the writing is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I finished reading reading Final Crisis 7 and boy does it suffer from a massive amount of "meh" as the entire issue is told in flashbacks that happen at different times which makes the story be all over the place. It had potential too be epic but it failed due to the fact that it is written for those people who know every bit there is about the DC world. Did anyone make sense of the ending? Was that Batman´s consciousness back in time with Anthro What annoys me about this is the characters that died during this because everything about the felt like "yeah so what?" it all lacked emotion. It´s still enjoyable too read but I wouldn't recommend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah....I havn't read it yet, so only read the bit not in spoilers, but I agree. I don't know much about the DC Universe, and like....the rest of the issues were just like "Who? Okay. Cool? I guess" and the spoilers in other comics? What the fuck was that about. The "Where were you when.." adverts. But yeah. The thing with Marvel and DC...I find DCs obscure characters really lame, because when they're bought back its in things like this and theres no focus on them. In Marvel when they bring back obscure characters they actually heavily write them, Ie The Initiative etc. But yeah. The build up to FC "The day evil won" was better than the actual thing (issue 7 not included). The next big events need to be a lot better than the previous two on both sides. Speaking of events. Anyone getting Image United? Also Kirkman and MacFarlanes "Haunt" is out this year. Theres info on it somewhere....ah I'll get it now. HAUNT What we know -They story is based around 2 brothers -Brother 1: was a CIA agent, he stole his brothers girlfriend then married her, he dies and decieds to haunt his brother -Brother 2: after losing his girlfriend to his borther he becomes a catholic preist, he is described as being "wimpy", after his brothers death he begins to console his brothers widow / and his ex-girlfriend -Combined: When dead Brother 1 haunts Brother 2 he realizes he can manifest his ectoplasmic powers through his brother into the physical world forming a "ectoplasmic shell" and forming the superhero HAUNT however when they are in a combined state the dead Brother 1 drains energy out his living Brother so they can can not stay combined for in the superhero form too long -1st Story Arc: Haunt must solve the murder of Brother 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Huh, The Darkness is a part of the Image world thing, did not know that. Been meaning to check that comic ever since I played that game based off the comic. Might pick that Image united comic then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Defo. Written by Kirkman which means it will be amazing. Why has no one started The Walking Dead yet? (bar Dom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I saw it in the shops but I'm too skint to start a new book now. is a straight up Zombie gig?

I'll do Allen. Hes more badass. Yeah TWD is essentially Zombies, but its more about the characters and situatuation/how they cope and such than the actual zombs. Though they play a part too obviously, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I enjoyed Astounding Wolf-Man #8, there's just the problem of getting #9 and #10 now since my comic shop didn't have them in stock. I might get the Walking Dead on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathjam Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just ordered the astounding wolfman collection...then saw the 6-8 weeks. No big deal though as I have plenty of novels to read, and then recently ordered Watchmen which should arrive sometime next week. But anyone know the cheapest place I can get the ultimate collection of Invincible: vol 1 as I really want to see what is so great about this series.
