Daft Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah, I'm pretty sure marketing made a call on the name. Jason Aaron has been absolutely blindingly brilliant on Thor though, so I'm willing to trust him.
Agent Gibbs Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 how does everyone feel about Marvel killing Wolverine? Â I love wolverine, and aren't exactly happy he'd being killed off when other boring/overused characters survive.....of course with this being a comic death he'll probably be back, just like Jean Grey
ReZourceman Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 ^^ Just more MARVEL bullshit. Â I should definitely read Aaron's Thor. Was the Tanarus (sp) arc his? Â I've got Waid's Daredevil on my Amazon wishlist, might add Aaron's Thors to it.
gmac Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Tanarus was Fraction  Aaron's run has been immense, you should definitely read it Rez, and yeah Waid's Daredevil is damn good too  I see Marvel are announcing another book tonight on the Colbert Report wonder if it'll be anything as interesting.
bryanee Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Yooooo next DCUA movie after Batman: Arkham Assault will be, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis. Â http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/07/16/aquaman-animated-feature-titled-justice-league-throne-of-atlantis Â
ReZourceman Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Okay I've added Aarons Thor and Remenders Captain America to my wishlist. Will get Thor soooon.

Mokong Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 SO Steve Rogers is once again stepping out of the role as Captain America and Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon will be becoming the new Captain.... Â Â Â Â Â So The Falcon becoming Captain America..... is anyone else thinking they should rename him.... Captain Falcon for a laugh Â
Agent Gibbs Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Of the recent changes at Marvel i the most happy with that! Falcon is a great Character and Sam will make a brilliant Cap  The female Thor is weird..... they take his power and name? I'm all for someone claiming Mjolinor and taking Thor's powers and role in the universe...but the claiming his name part is odd. With everyone else who claims a hero's mantel they've become a Hero who's identity was not the same as the Hero, in this instance Thor is Thor an asguardian....Its like Rodey becoming Iron Man and claiming the name Tony Stark too...seems a little off  And Superior Iron Man worries me, Otto Octavious as Superior Spiderman was an obvious reason for why he took a darker path a more calculated path...With Tony/Iron Man, moving to San Francisco and taking a darker path (and he's not had a mind swap) seems like changing a characters own persona...admittedly i'm speculating and i'd need to read the story to find out what's going on, but i fear its suddenly going to be an Iron Man with a new Agenda that he will kill for in a cold calculated way that will be out of his current character (a little)
Happenstance Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Finally started getting back into buying trades again. Got these last week and probably gonna order some more once ive been paid next week. Im thinking the All New X-Men ones and maybe a couple of event trades that I need. Â
Daft Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Does anyone know why DC take so goddamn fucking long to release trades? IMAGE release a trade as soon as all the singles are released, MARVEL take a few months, but DC?! SIX months. And that's if there isn't a hardcover version in which case, if you're waiting for the TPB, it's a whole year. Â I got so tired of waiting for Earth 2 to come out in TPB that I 'acquired' the whole thing digitally. I'll buy them in TPB when they finally do get released but seriously, WTF?! There's an Earth 2 weekly about to start in October and if you aren't reading the singles they DC are basically giving you two middle fingers.
Happenstance Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 DC do take too long. Its still because they consider single issues to be the main income so they want to give as much time for them to sell as possible before people have an alternative. Makes me glad I dont read any of their new stuff anymore so any stories I want to get should already be in trade (if its still in print though which is a whole other complaint).
Daft Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I can't imagine it's a good idea. It makes jumping on to events really hard, ridiculously impractical. I can only read so many on-goings. Â Currently I still pick up Aquaman, Batman & Robin, Wonder Woman, Futures End but like you started to lean way more toward trades and Image are so great with their releases that I'm picking up a lot of comics I wouldn't bothered to pick up as singles. I'd pick up way more DC comics if they were available in trade asap. Â Why do DC make it so hard to like them... Â Speaking of trades, you read Thor Vol 1 and Vol 2? God Butcher/Godbomb?
Happenstance Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 No I havent, I dont tend to read a lot of Thor books unless he is part of a team.
MoogleViper Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 A number of comics, including The Walking Dead and Invincible, available in a HUmble Bundle deal.
Happenstance Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Yeah they've done a couple of those comic Humble Bundles now. I havent actually got any from it yet though as even though DRM-free is arguably better, I'd still prefer to keep all my digital comics in the one place, which at the moment for me is my Comixology account.
Daft Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The last issue of The Wake is out today. I'm SOOOO excited. I've already pre-ordered the hardcover.
ReZourceman Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 LOW from Rick Remender is out this week. Â Will definitely be incredible.
Happenstance Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I always have a bit of trouble with Rick Rememders stuff. It seems like its probably good at the time but I almost feel like he is a better overall story writer than single issues. I need to go back and get some of the trades for the stuff I struggled with when I was reading it issue by issue.
Happenstance Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Two of my trades just arrived. I read Children's Crusade as it was coming out so I know thats good but I'm looking forward to reading the Guardians trade. I only started reading those with Bendis' books but have heard that this 2008 series is great.
Happenstance Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I had to laugh at Bendis' answer to this Powers question:  anonymous said: If I own an xbox, will I still be able to watch Powers?  brianmichaelbendis answered:  After your Xbox breaks down and/ or you realize that there are only five games to play on it you will buy a PlayStation and there will be… the powers TV show :-)
Daft Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Multiversity #1 is out today. I am raucously excited. Â
