ReZourceman Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah I read a few of the tie ins and they were unnecessary and shit, but Civil War is awesome/good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The Spider-Man Civil War arc is probably worth getting though as it ties in a lot more directly with the main story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah I had a quick glance at the main story one since it was written by Millar and it seemed pretty good. About twice as expensive as the tie ins though! Also had a look at Astounding X-Men (whatever the Whedon one was called) and was put off by the art style, Beast just looked wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think it might just be Beast that puts me off, it just looks so different to how I'm used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Beast going feline was the best thing to happen in X-Men for a long, long time. Read Grant Morrison's New X Men and you'll understand. in other news: Deadpool #1-#9. Absolutely fucking mental. Brilliant stuff. More Green Lantern stuff. Fun times.

Happenstance Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have read Morrisons New X-Men and I still think Beast going feline was stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 yeah well..you're wrong, then. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) yeah well..you're wrong, then. :p I guess probably the majority of X-Men fans are wrong aswell then :p God damn it I hate my indecisiveness! Ive stopped picking up single issues for a few years now and just get trades but every now and again i'll start back up for maybe 2 weeks. Ive just been reading through some of my old Ultimate Spider-Man issues and whadda ya know, I wanna start collecting single issues again!

Paj! Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 What's wrong with it? It felt appropriate, and I liked the design better. Looked less like a "blue wolverine" as I remember thinking when I was small, and defined him a bit better. He was always a bit hazy...general agility and strength etc. The feline evolution made him a bit more "solid" as a character. I liked the whole concept of secondary evolutions. Emma Frost's became her trademark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 aside from that, the insecurities it bought to the surface, even in a mind as brilliant as Hank's, was pure X-Men territory. It was Morrison's best writing (with the possible exception of Cyclops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I keep forgetting to rave about it but guys.....X-Men Origins Wolverine (Uncaged edition) e.g. the video game is FUCKING sweet. Its an 18, which says it all really. Think Uncharted, but with an 18 rated Wolverine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Dan's just reminded me how much I loved that whole period of X-Men. It felt so appropriate with the school opening officially, loads more issues opened up like you said that fitted well, and were relatable, mutant or human. Quitley's interior work was stunning, especially the issue where Jean and Emma enter Cassandra/Charles' head. Edited May 4, 2009 by Paj! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I always had a problem with the way he drew Emma Frost, always made her look weird and ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I loved the way he drew the women (and the men). No one else draws people like him, is figures aren't particularly clichedly sexy. The proportions are off, but only in their stature and poise, not their boobs/muscles. Realistic in a way, yet wonderfully stylised. I loved the fragility his linework gave his figure too.

Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The art was truly spectacular. Understated, clean and so much more realistic than most comic art. I absolutely loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomJcg Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Dan, you've read deadpool, my favourite bit of the whole of it so far is when he's really poor that he builds a chair out of explosives to watch tv. Later on he sits in the chair of zeke's house and goes "this sure is a comfy chair...but does it explode?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 These Green Lantern books are going to give me a fraking stroke I'm like...jumping over 3 series' (am I? probably?), dealing with the shit scans and about 20 fraking years of continuity over Green Lantern, JLA, Green Arrow...arrgh. still, it is bitchin. I'm also enjoying the fact that the central character is, basically, a bit of a cunt. makes a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I always had a problem with the way he drew Emma Frost, always made her look weird and uglyWith Quitely I think it's either love or hate with a lot of fans. Personally I'm not that big a fan, although I did quite like All Star Superman, with the exception of the too-modern colouring style. But ocassionally he made Supes' chin look ridiculous.I keep forgetting to rave about it but guys.....X-Men Origins Wolverine (Uncaged edition) e.g. the video game is FUCKING sweet.

No offence but your love of marvel seems to cloud your judgement of certain video games After your verdict on the god-awful Spider-Man: Web of Shadows I'm just not sure I can trust your opinion on another game with Wolverine in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
