Kav Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Civil War II is already onto its second issue (or third counting #0) Haha! I hadn't realised its kicked off yet, I thought it was still building up because of the latest Iron Man issue (this week's): First Page: Last Page:

Kav Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 So I've just caught up with Civil War II... god damn, what the f..?! No!!!
ReZourceman Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Yeah I just read Civil War II issues 1 - 3. Really, really enjoyed them! Dafuq at issue 3 though. Howzat.
Happenstance Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 How long is the series? I feel like we haven't actually hit the civil war part yet!
Kav Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I thought Spiderman (2016) was good, getting into the Civil War arc of the story, and I'm liking Miles as Spidey more and more. I thought Batman and Superman were OK, just setting up their respective arcs to come really. Likewise, I found Justice League just ok. Although I'm dying to know... ...how Gotham and Gotham Girl came to have their powers. Edited July 20, 2016 by Kav
Happenstance Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 In a very "Spider-Man" mood at the moment so decided to order some books:
Happenstance Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 More books, Batman this time. I've been in the mood to re-read War Games for a while now but haven't been able to get a good price on the first volume.
Kav Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Just read The Flash, interesting things happening in the wake of the Speed Force Storm and it was good getting a look at the villain Anyhoo, things are about to get real in Civil War II and I cannot wait, I really enjoyed this latest issue! It is looking to be great... again.
Happenstance Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I just finished reading Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #1. Now i've only jumped in and out of DC since nu52 but is this now the 3rd Huntress and 2nd Helena Bertinelli since that reboot???
MindFreak Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Yesterday I purchased "Shadowland" and "Shadowland: Street Heroes" at a flea market. Are they stand-alone or do I need some earlier books to enjoy them?
Happenstance Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 I think Shadowland does a pretty good job of explaining whats going on if I remember right. Unfortunately it was a terrible event that Marvel fans tend to try and forget.
MindFreak Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Ah. Well. It seems like a fun take on Daredevil and the other heroes so I bought them. Well, we'll see!
Happenstance Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 It'll be interesting to see what you think since its been and gone. It might come off better now.
Happenstance Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Anyone read any of Marvel's Epic Collections? From what I can tell they are similar to the Marvel Masterworks releases but you get a bit more for a bit cheaper. Im tempted to start collecting the Spider-Man ones but it just seems a bit annoying that they are released out of order. Still though, I would love to get a good collection of all the early Spider-Man stories, seems like they'll be going roughly up to JMS' run in the early 2000s. I ended up ordering them anyway, the lure of working towards the full set was too much! Along with one extra that I ordered this morning before all this got in my head!
Daft Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I'm really enjoying Action Comics. I've never properly read Superman going but yeah, loving the two current ones.
Happenstance Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I've been enjoying Superman and Action Comics as well. Feels like the first time in years that I'm actually reading a Superman story. I've not exactly been quiet about my dislike of nu52 but I always thought Superman was one of the characters who was worse off after Flashpoint. He felt like a completely different character and I thought he lost that sense of hope that is so important to the character. It's nice to have it back.
Kav Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Ok, so given how I hadn't read comics for years upon years, I'm not all too familiar with the reason for the separate Action/Detective comics and the Superman/Batman ones. Why is they hadn't just done Rebirth and then continued the respective stories of Supes & Bats in the Action & Detective comics, why do they have these as well as their own ones ongoing and how is the continuity between them? ...basically, what exactly is the deal?
Happenstance Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 They are just different books/stories in the same universe, not much to explain really. Characters just sometimes have more than one book. Detective/Action sometimes have different characters as their leads but not often. Just before Flashpoint Action comics had a really good year long arc with Lex Luthor as the lead.
Happenstance Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 So, back to Action Comics the new Clark Kent is then?
darksnowman Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 So, back to Action Comics the new Clark Kent is then? Superman. Could be going out on a limb.
Happenstance Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I've been reading the new Thor book as its on sale in Comixology. I really like it. There's a nice split between the Asguardian style writing when she speaks and the human when she is thinking. It makes Thor more relatable.
