Daft Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I wasnt talking about the discussion, I was talking about your views on the world and emotion etc not having to be forced into a universe that doesnt have to be governed by the same rules. Like I said, it would be nice if he understood my perspective. It's not a big deal, though. Just thought I'd post my thoughts and see what happens. Yeah but they are different things. Whether other alien races distinct them in the same method as us is irrelevant, as the rings translate everything. Also I'm pretty sure a ring could correct colour blindedness. :p Correct colour blindness? So you think colour blindness is something that needs to be corrected? It doesn't seem like a fun discussion... all I see is daft and rez getting slightly more annoyed with each others point of view...) Not really sure how I'd actually go about getting annoyed with Rez. Not sure it's possible. I've accepted his biggest flaw - his love for Michael Bay films.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Hmmm. Our Worlds at War was pretty bad, as was Zero Hour. Countdown to Final Crisis started off well but ended poorly and I havent read Armageddon 2001 but I hear that was terrible.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Just read USM #160 Did that feel really short to anyone else. I mean I really enjoyed the fight and it was awesome seeing MJ join in but it seemed like it was over really quickly. Also, the ending..... Are there anymore books solicited before the relaunch? The story feels like it needs one more issue, a none action one to round everything off. I still dont really believe he is dead at this point and need to see something a lot more conclusive. Also it occured to me just now. We're getting the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series this year, its hard to believe they'll keep Peter out of the comics for long with that airing as well.
ReZourceman Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I think Ultimate Fallout is before the relaunch.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Is there no USM #161 then? Thats what is actually needed, not an Ultimate crossover. I mean this should never have been connected with the Ultimates one as it is.
ReZourceman Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah, as far as I'm aware that is it. Lol that Punisher killed him.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Bloody crossover, USM deserved so much more than that
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Its about time. Its probably my favourite Green Lantern story.
ReZourceman Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Nooooo. It was awesome but it wasn't as good as....like....well...I love all the multi colour stuff, so basically anything from Sinestro Corps War on. :p. Nah, it was very nice, very well done and very well constructed indeed.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Well you know me, I actually dont find a lot of the GL in space stuff. Id much rather be reading about one of them on Earth and quite a lot of Rebirth was on Earth or had Kyle who I find more interesting than bland Hal.

Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Your "friend" sounds like a bit of a loser. ...also, poor ReZ, was Claire bullying you?
ReZourceman Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Yes. (And my anger management skills on show at the end) :p
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I assume it was her causing the creaking that you kept turning to look at as well?
ReZourceman Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Must have been but I don't even have any recollection of leaving that in. Hahahaha.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Maybe you didnt leave it in and ive been sneaking a look at all your outtakes :p Anyway, I just noticed that there is going to be a Claremont/Jim Lee X-Men Omnibous coming out in October, I think i'll have to get myself a copy.
Paj! Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I finished X-Men Forever 2. *sigh* Chris Claremont is atrocious. I see why they gave him this title - probably to get him out their hair. Seriously, he obviously created some important stories in his day, but comic writing has evolved since then and his style is not only dated but just LAME. Patronising drivel and completely forced characterisation is the order of the day. Same old Claremont tropes on show too. Anyway. Shame cause I can imagine if a similar overall story were in the hands of a better writer (and artist...EW at the art team for these books), it could've been interesting. Everything just reeked of Claremont's crapness. Things I liked: - The fact it had a second series, X-Men Forever 2. A joke/stunningly definitive thing to do. - Mystique joining the team. - ... The rest was so so dire. I don't think X-Men Forever 3 has been announced/ever will, right? The story clearly isn't finished. Over it. It's just like...how can somone let this writing out to the public? Ugh. No input from others cause of his 'status'.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I think I managed to get 2 issues into the first X-Men Forever and just couldnt take anymore. Funny really as I was just going on about getting the Claremont Omnibous but you're right using the same writing techniques now just doesnt work at all compared to back then.
gmac Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I see DC in the time honoured tradition of ruining event books have the next issue of Green Lantern : Emerald Warriors out next week as a epilogue when the last book in the event doesn't come out for another two weeks!
Paj! Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I only read it cause It told me so many jokes. Bad ones, but they were there. I have no interest in going back and reading the half of X-Treme I never read (the horrific Igor Kordey art doesn't help there either), or his 04 Uncanny run. I actually started the Uncanny run, but couldnt even get to the bit I wanted to (Psylocke's return) as it was ruining me. I'm more interested in reading the old stories. I saw they're releasing a few big collections of X-stories this year like a big omnibus with Jim Lee. Also an (unrelated to Claremont) collection of X-Cutioner's Song, which I remember reading most of, but not all.
jayseven Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 SO I tend to avoid this thread because it's full of all sorts of spoilARS for stuff I've not decided to get into yet. But newsnight just said that marvel are killing off spiderman. Anyone want to clarify this for me?
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah thats Ultimate Spider-man, not the normal comics one. Im betting the news didnt even bother checking on that.
Paj! Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I didn't know until tonight that there was an Ultimatum Complete Collection thing, with both Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum. I want it. I have had a sick urge to own both of them properly since I read them. I love. I love bad. I love not giving a shit. It's my favourite thing that isn't good. As was New Ultimates.
