Jesus v Vampires/ Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter by Ambush Bug	Jun 1st, 2006 08:03:34 PM
In the afterward of LOADED BIBLE, the makers of Jesus Vs. Vampires state that the concept for the comic came up before the film was made.
right here with ya blackthought! by Darth Kal-El	Jun 1st, 2006 08:21:02 PM

J v V by Mr. Lahey	Jun 1st, 2006 08:29:19 PM
Merely pointing out some more Jesus vs The Undeady-goodness. And a local movie to boot.
that's what i like to hear darth by blackthought	Jun 1st, 2006 08:29:43 PM
soon we'll get the rest as well...so this spidey 3 movie has 4 villains...venom, green goblin II, sandman and most likely the lizard...i was hoping they'd throw hammerhead in there somewhere, maybe a visit from the kingpin...no spider splayers though...i pray.
Jesus Vs. Vampires WTF OMG AC by los_urizen	Jun 1st, 2006 08:41:33 PM
A quote from "Bishop Parrish?" Like Jeremiah Parrish, the Catholic Priest/Vampire/Superhero from Busiek's ASTRO CITY? Awesome. Or a coincidence.

Please keep Buzz away from the injokes and pointless rambling and keep the other dudes reviewing books.
4 villians? by Darth Kal-El	Jun 1st, 2006 09:18:51 PM

reply to heathen from last TB by Darth Kal-El	Jun 1st, 2006 09:21:09 PM
i was making a lame joke since u asked me to send pics of tigers,hookers, cigars, and poker. i was meaning poker as in "poke her" thats why i said shed be mad if i showed u those pics!anyways by gones like u said.**on x3-im going to try to express why i liked this movie as much as i did.There will be massive SPOILERS*** from this point on so read at your peril.i went to this movie anticipating to have a good time and for me at least it delivered. i know it didnt strictly follow the original story. they took liberties with some of the characters and some of the actions scenes and effects could have been better-i get all that. i understand why theres such a backlash from the hardcore fan community but i also understand why its making so much money at the box office. again, things i dont really care too much about.everyone has in their minds a specific idea of what xmen means to them. the rescue of mystyque,wolverine fighting that guy that shot bones from his arms,magneto moving the bridge while hovering over it,the final battle, these are all things that have always meant "X-MEN" to me.i could go on and on-i loved the showdown at the grey house with!wolverine vs the juggernaut was awesome,the thing with storm too!i was even ok witht professor x being killed because it lent a sense of real menace to everything that was going on that is usually missing from the comics.it was kinda of lame for them to reveal he moved to another body at the end but at the time it happened i was like "godamn this is no holds barred!".i also really liked how they handled the pheonix. making her a dual personality that prof x has been sort of manipulating was great! i loved how she kinda looked like she was possesed! the only thing that would have made it perfect would have been the pheonix effect.i loved the final battle with everyone doing what they do. pyro and magneto hurling the flaming cars? how fucking sweet was that. bobby iced up! yeah it was only for a minute but it was there! man theres so much of this movie i just loved that i can forgive the details i didnt which are few.i wish they had shown the pheonix effect like i said.i wish we could have seen bobby ice slide. fraser was perfect as the beast but i would have liked to have seen the catlike look they gave him in new x-men.i also didnt really like juggernauts helmet but other than that the character was cool."Im the juggernaut bitch!" awesome! i also wished we had seen more kids using their powers at the mansion but i can never get enough of that.all in all for me this was a great movie going experience. i know this wasnt really a review and was kind of disjointed but im here at work doing this in between helping my reps.hope that answers some of your questions heath but if not i encourage discusssion!
Damn, without Alex Toth would we even have Adult Swim? by Horseflesh	Jun 1st, 2006 09:55:03 PM
Kinda all started with Space Ghost Coast To Coast dinnit? Well I like to think it did. Big props to the man.
Buzz by Alonzo Mosely	Jun 1st, 2006 10:04:18 PM
I say Buzz is the man for the job based purely on the fact, in an early User ID-incarnation, he and I were going to break heads during the Hollywood writer's strike. I doubt any help would be needed to manhandle comicbook writers, but if need arises, I still have my blackjack and will knock some sense into them.
AlgertMopper by El Vale	Jun 1st, 2006 10:37:08 PM
You're not a Cog. ZING! (Boy am i gonna get shit for this)
Jesus v. Vampires, huh? by Heywood Jablowme	Jun 1st, 2006 10:54:44 PM
If those cats really wanted to be "edgy" they would have made it Mohammed v. Vampires. Come on you pussies, don't let some doodler from Denmark get all the notoriety. We're AMERICANS!! Show the world we got the balls and lack of judgement/taste to do this. I'd buy a couple copies of it (through a third party, under the cover of night, using an assumed name and money from an untraceable Swiss bank account). And Buzz, if you get the job, could we please get Thor back? Late.
wow Im shocked SHOCKED by Falcon5768	Jun 2nd, 2006 12:37:27 AM
that there was not one mention of the reveal that the new Batwoman is a lesbian.
bacci40: no kidding! by vroom socko	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:13:11 AM
I wrote my little piece of woefully inadequite memorialization Sunday morning, figuring that yes, it was crap, but that Herc or Mori or Merrick or SOMEBODY else here would have something more substantial to say. *** a quick note that says everything that needs to be said about Toth: He died at his drawing table. that says it right there.
Under My Administration... by Buzz Maverik	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:37:46 AM
...we have an X-book, not X-Books. We'll put out enough hit books with other concepts so they don't all have to have an X in front of every title. Secondly, NEW AVENGERS? We're going to have THE MIGHTY AVENGERS. No NEW in our titles because it gets stupid when it's no longer NEW. I mean, how can there be an issue #72 of the NEW AVENGERS? Yeah, we'll bring back THOR even though I don't personally like THOR, because, dammit, it's...money in our pockets. Shout out to Alonzo, who remembers the Pre-@$$hole BUZZ MAVERIK'S STRIKE BREAKING GOONS (we're still ready to break a strike/protect scabs for cash and beer!). And Bayou Willie, my ramblings always have a point: these are comic books, dude, we're talking comic books and you're worried about a point? Finally, El, remember Marvel is going to be significantly different under my dynasty, so don't limit your thoughts to existing superhero books. Use your imagination. It's time we put out some non-superhero titles. Do something about a character on a modern day quest or something, I don't know, do I have to think of everything? In the spirit of Stan Lee and trendy hucksterism, what with THE DA VINCI CODE and all, we're launching a title called JOHNNY MEROVINGIAN about a guy who is the reincarnation of Judas Iscariot. Johnny falls in love with the unspeakably cute Audrey, who is the last surviving descendent of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. They marry and Johnny takes her name, because, let's face it, it beats being known as Johnny Iscariot. Trouble is, on their wedding night, Audrey is kidnapped by the evil Albino Pope. Johnny and his two sidekicks, Martin and Luther, are out to rescue her. Hijinks ensue. Get to work! What am I paying you people for? Somebody make a fresh pot of Kona or Jamaica Blue Mountain and be sure to Irish mine up!
God bless you, Sleazy G by TempusFugitive	Jun 2nd, 2006 06:52:35 AM
For triggering a flashback to that giant-sized reprint of All-Star Comics. That reprint, along with its siblings, the giant-sized Action, Detective, and Captain Marvel books were my first exposure to comics. I absolutely LOVED that All-Star reprint, and it's absolutely what got me hooked on the superhero "team" books in the future. Of course, this happy flashback is brought back down to earth by the Alex Toth obit. Lots of my good saturday morning memories are owed to him.
So I read the entire Ultimate Trilogy in one sitting by rev_skarekroe	Jun 2nd, 2006 07:43:01 AM
A pretty good read, no doubt. A few things I didn't like - the art changing right in the middle of the stories, a few word balloon placement problems. Ellis' American characters sometimes speak a little too Englishy, but Moore and Gaiman and Ellis and Millar all do that, too. Overall the art was top-notch, Ellis gets his characters down perfectly (with the possible exception of the X-Men - I don't read Ult. X-Men, so I don't know for sure), and it's a fine sci-fi superhero story. That said, it also points out the reason that the Ultimate Universe will never have the staying power of the regular Marvel U. A robotic hive mind that hates organic life is a cool concept, and perhaps more realistic, but it's got nothing on a gigantic man in a purple suit with a big "G" on his belt. It's just not as much FUN. Actually, now that I think about it, swapping realism for fun is the big problem with superhero books today. It's why I'm not reading Civil War - when you start overanalyzing the mechanics of a fantasy universe, you lose what makes that universe so compelling in the first place.
LA VERGA! by Shigeru	Jun 2nd, 2006 08:55:13 AM
Buzz Maverick is my hero. I know you don't like him but hell I'll write THOR in a heartbeat. The Enchantress would seduce/beguile him into having a vision of three magical wenches enslaved by Frost Giants. Of course it would be a trap in order to send Thor to some far-off plane of existence. Ect...
RIP Alex Toth by Shigeru	Jun 2nd, 2006 08:59:02 AM
He will be missed!
One more... by Shigeru	Jun 2nd, 2006 09:03:30 AM
Where in the multiverse is Seven Soldier of Victory #1?!?! HUH?! I'M LOOKIN AT YOU GRANT!
bacci40 - I'm gonna take everything you said... by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 2nd, 2006 09:11:49 AM
...and frame it. I don't think there is anything I can add, except to say that I'm trying to do something about it. I've written a book that should come out in September, and I wrote it with all those things in mind: wouldn't it be nice if there were an old-fashioned action/adventure book for teenagers, with well-developed characters that are not perfect but value integrity, loyalty, honor, and still manage to dodge bullets and kick it up kunk-fu style? Where there are plots twists instead of gorific shocks? Hopefully, it doesn't suck. I won't plug it here by name, this is Mr. Toth's talkback, but I just wanted to say that I hear you. I hear you.
Hey Buzz, I've got an awesome idea for a Marvel book! by rev_skarekroe	Jun 2nd, 2006 09:13:29 AM
It's called "Wolverine and Gambit vs. Sabretooth and Venom" and it's a four part miniseries consisting of nothing but splash page fight scenes and first person narration boxes! Each issue will come in three versions - die-cut and polybagged with a trading card, hologram, and a special goldfoil version with an extra page of Rogue in a thong for all comic shops that order more than 300 copies! What do you think?
Long as they kill each other off permanently at the end by MrBoinfoint	Jun 2nd, 2006 09:48:26 AM
Throw in Bishop and re-kill Norman Osborn while your at it.
They don't die at the end by rev_skarekroe	Jun 2nd, 2006 10:09:00 AM
They all have to team up to fight a new villian I've created that will surely stand the test of the ages. His name is Deathblood and he's covered in razorwire chains, has a dozen enormous guns, and a wildly improbable haircut.
Mr. Toth died perfectly by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 10:36:05 AM
It's sad that he had to pass, but what an exit he made. At his drawing table. That's perfect in my book and I only hope to be so lucky.
Buzz by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 10:40:43 AM
I second dropping the 'New' from these Marvel books. blackthought, word on the cigars. And I have no idea what I'd write, but I'd make sure it had a beginning, middle and an end without breaking internets in half or raping characters or being 9 months late.
Yeah, Deathblood! by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 2nd, 2006 10:49:59 AM
See, he's this demon, but he fights Heaven, which is really the bad guys, and Hell is the good guys but with bad PR. But he can only stay on this plane doing good/bad things if every so often, he kills children, which makes him feel really bad, but oh well, evil God wrote the rules.....No, wait, he can only stay on this plane if he kills really hot chicks in thongs, but only AFTER they stand under a mystic cleansing waterfall wearing nothing but a t-shirt. A waterfall with really cold water. ....or something. And he feels really bad about the water being cold, too. But what is a good guy/heaven bashing hot-chick killin' demon supposed to do? (Que the laugh track) ...or something...
found an oddly appropriate quote... by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 2nd, 2006 11:02:16 AM
...for many of today's comic book (and television, and movie) writers. Some guy named Peter wrote these guys in the second chapter of...well, Peter..>>> These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the harmful desires of human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity
Cam Kennedy drew Star Wars for Dark Horse, not Marvel. by pokadoo	Jun 2nd, 2006 11:53:45 AM
He did Dark Empire and the Boba Fett series. R.I.P. Alex Toth. Space Ghost was great.
As long as I get to be.... by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 12:01:19 PM
cover artist for any book that my farts tell me I should be, then we're all good. Even though I'm strictly dickly in my datin' persuasions Ole Psy truly appreciates lookin' at sexy chick tits and ass so that would the THE new order for all covers going forward: TITS. Yep, thats's right. You want a cover showing the Hulk mutilating babies and dogs? No problem as long as it also features a babe with giant hooters as well. 'Cuz gay or straight EVERYONE knows titties equal fun. By the way, how can you tell a Redneck chick is a virgin? She runs faster than her brothers.
Wow, Peter quoting in the comics TB... by Shigeru	Jun 2nd, 2006 12:07:04 PM
kudos, rock-me Amodeo. I think the late Mr. Toth's (long) quote from above is very apropo for 1991 but maybe not so much today, since the field is so much more diverse.
I meant X-BOOK! by superhero	Jun 2nd, 2006 12:14:53 PM
Dammit! See how Marvel's policies have already infected me???? See????
great discussion so far! by Darth Kal-El	Jun 2nd, 2006 12:40:54 PM
im loving the idea of a buzz led marvel with cogs as scribes and @$$es as editors! and the bible got quoted! nice! hey heath did you read my reply re:X3? i read the guy on your blog who said your blinded by your fanatisism and while i dont agree with your x3 review HE is the one who is blinded...by poop!! from a volcano!
Just remember... by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 12:45:12 PM
TITS. Accept no substitutes.
About Toth by El Vale	Jun 2nd, 2006 12:58:10 PM
My friend James posted that Toth essay on his Deviantart journal as a tribute and i had this to say about it: "The ugly, mean, vile, banal, twisted, sick, bloody celebration of torture, rape, cruelty, filth, demonic and socio-political psycho-babble -- and death -- is disgusting stuff to me" It may very well be, but it's a cultural manifestation and, as such, it's completely valid from an objective vantage point. Who's to say people are wrong for trying to use artistic mediums to talk about the things they want to talk about? If artistic expression turns out to be adolescent in nature, who's to say it should be dismissed as garbage when it's clear that taken as a cultural phenomenon alone (since the quality of the work is irrelevant, apparently) it could be quite fascinating? But, see, they just don't make them how they used to when you're a couple generations too old to appreciate the state of art in present times. No, they don't make movies or comics or music like they used to, but good movies and comics and albums still come out every day, even if you're too old to appreciate why they're good and why they're in fact relevant. Furthermore: "Much more 'adult and mature' are the stories no one can, or will, write about and illustrate: Joy, wonder, love honor, humor, wit, intelligence, invention, compassion, trust, respect, duty, character, sacrifice, sentiment, family, discovery, exploration, history, the myriad peoples, customs, and stories abounding out there in the world -- human stories!" No one stopped writing about love and honor and joy, no one stopped telling human stories, and no one ever will. Garbage will always be garbage, make no mistake about it, but i could guarantee if we all went the Alex Toth way and stopped producing art that depicts violence, rape and torture, and instead focused on art that depicted joy, love, honor and all those things exclusively, 90% of it would still be dreadful and unworthy of mention. And 80 year old men would still dismiss it as such.
Okay, Supe, Ya Got X-MEN. by Buzz Maverik	Jun 2nd, 2006 01:18:45 PM
Here's the set up: Charles Xavier is dead. I don't know why. You figure it out. Scott Summers is a broken man. The X-MEN as we knew them no longer exist. The characters are leading their own lives. Then, the threat appears and in flashbacks, we find out why a disgraced Wolverine can't summon his own teammates. He has to recruit new mutants who are up to the job. The ultimate loner must carry on Xavier's dream. At the end, you figure out a clear reason for Wolverine to keep the team together and why they want to stay. Think of Wolverine as the ultimate drill instructor, but these mutants will be trouble for him in many ways. No one is based on an old character; no one is anybody's son or daughter. I want an artist with design and storytelling skills to create the characters. Ya got an hour.
excellent point vale by Darth Kal-El	Jun 2nd, 2006 01:22:56 PM

Got Tits? by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 01:35:24 PM
See? You wanna buy that comic already!
Oh, Yeah. No X-Mansion. by Buzz Maverik	Jun 2nd, 2006 01:37:07 PM
It's been destroyed. This team gets their headquarters the Wolverine way: they show up at a Hellfire facility north of Westchester and Wolverine says: "We're the X-Men. This place is ours now. You can get out, but, frankly, we're hoping you object."
superhero, here's an idea for your Buzz approved X-Men by rev_skarekroe	Jun 2nd, 2006 01:45:32 PM
Buzz's idea reminds me of the S-Men from "Earth-X". But here's my idea: the new team consists of the sort of mutants that don't really have powers advantageous in a combat situation. Peeper and Cypher are good examples, but the new characters might have powers that include: the ability to always knows exactly what time it is, even without a watch; accelerated healing - but not like Wolverine. This mutant breaks a bone and it fixes in about two weeks. A case of the flu is over in 24 hours. Most cuts and scrapes heal by sometime that afternoon.; the power to uncover lost keys, passports, and other frequently missing objects; edible feces; the ability to hold one's breath a really, really long time. Surely mutants with such mundane powers must be out there somewhere, right? Shouldn't they get a chance to be heroes?
The two best comics last week by vagrant's choice	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:01:20 PM
Secret Six #1 and Green Lantern #11 were the two comics I enjoyed the most last week. I want Johns and Simone to marry and produce the comic industries first super-writer.***One of my favorite cartoons as a kid was The Herculoids. What an awesome bunch even if their enemies were kind of lame (I seem to remember a lot of evil wizards and space phantom types).
i wonder what slott by blackthought	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:26:53 PM
gets to write under buzz's regime.
Or what about.... by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:28:56 PM
A mutant whose only power is that her tits remain plump and firm forever? you know you want it....
if superhero's editing with Buzz by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:41:49 PM
then I want a chance at writing this X book of which you speak
lol by Shigeru	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:45:59 PM
hooray for the gay man with tits on the brain! (not literally). *** how about the mutant power to shake exactly 2 asprin out of the bottle EVERY TIME?
Doh! by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:45:59 PM
Oh! You mean that whole quote was all Toth? Now I feel stupid, Shigeru. Of course, I was thinking, how incredible, that both Toth and Bacci40 were both born in 1928! Double-doh!..... And you know, Vale, I appreciate the diversity in comics. I just wish that I didn't have to be so careful picking out comics for my 7-year old (or my 13-year old nephew) to read. I would hate to go back to the days of banality, when nothing serious was covered except Harry Osborns ledge-walking. By the same token, there is so much out there with a shiny sugar coating and a cyanide center. My perspective on the value of diversity has changed so much since I became a parent. Damn it. Some of the very reasons I hated grownups are the things I am becoming.
thanks for the reply heath by Darth Kal-El	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:48:37 PM
we are pretty awesome!
hey rock-me by Darth Kal-El	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:53:04 PM
just pull a harry knowles and let them read whatever the hell they want! its funny in his omen review he mentions how they took his 5 year old nephew then he spends his time in the tbs defending himself by relating stories of his little nephew being a "normal" 5 year old. and i was very kidding rock-me i see your point
Yeah 'cuz literal tits on the brain... by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:53:57 PM
was already done in Little Nicky. Although I DO have a new comic idea about 2 buxom bionic babes that run the Tactics in Tandem Securities agency. You KNOW a comic whose logos was T.I.T.S would sell hotter than discount crack in the ghetto....
yeah it confused me at first too, rock-me by Shigeru	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:54:36 PM
I was like, whoah we have a 78 year old talkbacker!! And even though I don't have a kid I can definitely sympathize with your predicament...and I would suggest OWLY or BANANA SUNDAY for the little ones. Plus you get double kudos for mentioning Harry Osborn's ledge walking! He was all tripped out! Groovy!
My X-Book: by superhero	Jun 2nd, 2006 02:56:10 PM
Full scale Mutant-Human War. C'mon, you've been waiting 25 years for it. You know you want it. Not some mamby pamby Civil War either. Full on Mutant and Human slaughter with all the reprecussions that it entails and no going back for the Marvel Universe. EVER. Sort of like FAX FROM SARAJEVO but with super people.Bring it on.
Diane Lane? by vagrant's choice	Jun 2nd, 2006 03:02:30 PM
Hottie Diane Lane was in Judge Dredd? That may be enough to get me to watch that stinker again. Nice reviews, Ambush Bug! I
don't forget about Franklin Richards by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 03:27:58 PM
for the little ones. Great read whenever one comes out. Mouse Guard too. (#3 came out t his week!!!) Violently fun for ages eight and up I'd say. *** Is it Friday?
i dont really get anamorphic(?) animal comics by Darth Kal-El	Jun 2nd, 2006 03:36:39 PM
did i use the word correctly? i mean comics with animal characters that talk.not really my bag these days tho i used to be a huge turtles fan and loved that book tellos not too long ago. i think ill check out mouse guard once it hits trades because the heathster cant stop talking about it so it must be at least decent. oh and hey my barnes finally got black hole and i read about halfway through it earlier this week with plans to finish it off this weekend. so far kinda weird but i do love the art and surrelism of it all. more thoughts when i finish it. man barnes n noble is great! all the trades you can read for the price of a couple cups of latte! they should make a place like that but with liquor
rock-me by El Vale	Jun 2nd, 2006 03:41:22 PM
I didn't grow up on superhero comics (yay for that) so the only comics i read when i was a kid were Tintin and Asterix. Highly recommended for your little ones, god those comics are amazing.
my Barnes is weak by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 03:45:54 PM
it used to be awesome, but they just redesigned some of it and the graphic novels section was split in half and more manga digests were added. It's one big pastel fest over there now. I always have to step over some sweaty pasty kid when I'm trying to find a book like Black Hole. Ocala kinda sucks for anything cool. Yeah, Black Hole is weird and surreal, but damn good, Y. Tell Vale and I what you thought when you finish it. For those who haven't read it
Heywood Jablowme, by vagrant's choice	Jun 2nd, 2006 03:53:57 PM
I
Yeah Vale but.... by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 04:42:12 PM
neither Asterix nor TinTin featured tits in any real capacity and thus your youth was actually quite deprived. Say what you will about Byrne's tenures on X-Men and Fantastic Four, he still gave good tit in spades.
Psy, whatever mood you're in by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 04:52:51 PM

My Friday.... by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 05:14:35 PM
is running on 5-1/2 hours of sleep and 3 VERY strong and VERY large cups of peel-the-paint coffee. If I was buzzing any more I'd be a goddamned hive. You've seen my art, I draw a mean pair o tits and all that attaches to it (by natural design not freudian urge you perves!). My favorite South Park catchphrase has always been "totally tits". I mean, let's face it, boobies are cool even when they can't give you wood. Aaand they ARE an all-ages phenomenon, after all where do most kids first meal come from? Tits! Boobies are cool no matter how ya shake 'em.

My girlfriend's got quite a rack, and when we used to go out to clubs the gayboys loved 'em. I think it's something primal. Breasts = good.

I agree with the primal Rev.... by Psynapse	Jun 2nd, 2006 05:44:47 PM
I'd even go so far as to postulate it being in the level of genetic programming. Infants know instinctively how to suckle after all. (Though being an adoptee meant no titty lunches for me so it may be a bit pronounced as a result). (Okay, I just had an objective view of myself and realized I'm a gay man waxing poetic about my species programmed predilection towards mammary glands. How fucking surreal is that??)

More X-Notes For Superhero & Heathen. by Buzz Maverik	Jun 2nd, 2006 06:32:18 PM
I want a beaten down Cyclops to be Wolverine's lieutenant. Something has killed Scott's spirit and Wolverine is trying to help him. Ironically, without Jean, these two losers will grow old together. Also, the only other established mutant in the book (aside from villains): Wanda Maximoff. If she's dead or something, bring her back to life. We're going to redeem the Scarlet Witch and she's going to get her kids back!

Two straight weeks with only a handful of main stream reviews? Could it be I actually miss your rants? Forgive the audacity of questioning your wisdom. Also, why no Mouseguard review? #3 out this week. Seek it talkbackers, you'll thank me later.

Cyclops and Logan for EIC Buzz by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 08:02:06 PM
The only person rougher than Logan is Cyclops. His spirit may be down, but he takes it out on the opposition. Wolverine is still an ass kicker, but he's also having to coordinate teams and missions. Besides, Scott is using his visor a lot less these days and is clearing battle fields with a glare that literally kills
Thalya by The Heathen	Jun 2nd, 2006 08:07:32 PM
I hate to say this, but they might as well have killed Nightwing if all they're going to do is keep him in a mediocre title, brooding more than a Cog in a cage without pumpkin spice bread. I love the character of Nightwing - the potential of it. But now, it's the same ol crap as it was before IC more or less. I will pick up Manhunter. Get one of those DC Nation badges for the Spectregans and fill us in on more later
Under Buzz Marvel could I pencil... by Big Bad Clone	Jun 2nd, 2006 08:21:44 PM
a very 70's Ghost Rider/ Man-Thing ongoing? Heavy supernatural stuff with girls in halter tops anddaisey dukes being saved by a ghost rider that wears a very evel knievel inspired outfit. Ghosty can give people a penance stare and the book becomes a 5 page acid trip. All the Man-Thing stories can have Man-Thing burning the shit out of hippies. "The long haired 'freak' finally shakes loose the effects of his 6 week high and knows fear. And whatever knows fear burns at the touch of Man-Thing"
True.. by Thalya	Jun 2nd, 2006 08:27:42 PM
Nightwing was probably the first book I dropped, too. And you can see through IC how it may have been leading towards that anyway. Still, in spite of that, what I love is that DiDio openly admitted that they're on a learning curve here, and it's not like they're completely without missteps. That sort of humility is why I'm bleeding DC. It seems like what they're doing with DC Nation is building a community of fans and deliberately seeking advice from and understanding of their fanbase. The interesting thing was at the panel this afternoon, they had a few bits of business to pass on to us, but then it was all Q&A, with quid pro quo, where the panelists in turn got to ask a question back at the person who initially asked. Heavily advised: don't wear Spider-Man shirts, and know your alpacas. passes a ghost version of her DC Nation badge on to the Spectregans

i had this whole wedding issue planned out...jean grey returns to "LIFE", i kid you not, yes she does...even after buzz's take over, we are still contractually obligated to bring her back to life and kill her again at least twice in our run. so anyway, jean is back, logan and scott are, well not surprised but a little hipe is rising. well jean comes for scott and takes him to the movies, X3, seeing how they haven't seen it with her being dead and he dealing with some house of m retardation...so anyway they watch and are disgusted with their characterizations that they sue fox for the same total that x1-3 made at the box office. with their tidy sum they buy an off-shore planet and with some of the pocket change they hire vulcan to occasionally mess with xavier's head by growing long locks on it leaving xavier staring in the mirror for days wondering if he should part it in the middle or braid it...but then vulcan takes it away...i'm not sure if vulcan can grow hair, but he has like every power, so might as well use it. so let's see, back to logan...well all this leaves logan all "emo"...yeah, i said it...wolverine can be a bee-yatch sometimes...but not all is lost as he finds comfort in the arms of his mortal enemy...sabertooth or joey quesada for raping him and not allowing him to smoke a cigar afterwards...so nightcrawler is the priest that ties this union, for all intents and purposes it was a very hairy wedding...and some would even say gay...now enter the h.s.s. as honored guest and what not...and then finish it off with tits...and devil shit...rough honeymoon you know.

"Kate Spencer is a hard-drinking, hard-living, two pack a day chick." Actually, for the record, she quit smoking, or so I've heard, I've yet to get those back-issues. She wanted to get in better shape for fighting baddies. Plus she's about to deal with her son having superpowers and wanting to take after her since she showed up in costume and saved him. I hear this next Manhunter arc is going to have greater relevance to the larger DCU, also. And if nothing else recommends the book, there's always the inimitable Dylan Battles, former henchman, current good guy.
Hulk by Throb	Jun 3rd, 2006 11:51:34 PM
This is the recap at beginning of issue #95, part 4(of4) of the Exile story arc. 'Bruce Banner has long seen his alter ego, the Incredible Hulk, as a threat to innocent life. So when he saw the chance to use the Hulk's strength for good, Banner accepted a mission from S.H.I.E.L.D. to destroy a dangerous rogue satellite. But when the mission was complete, a group of Marvel heroes, including Reed Richards, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, and Black Bolt (memebers of the mysterious Illuminati), exiled Hulk from the Earth, intending to send his shuttle toward an idyllic, uninhabited planet where he would pose no threat to himeslf or to others. Instead, the shuttle flew off course, passing through a wormhole that deposited Hulk onto the savage planet of Sakaar. Weakened by his trip through the portal, Hulk was sold into slavery and sent to the Great Arena to die in gladiatorial battle, but he survived, along with a ragtag group of battle-tested survivors. Shortly after, a group of rebels tried to free Hulk, offering him the chance to fight against the Empire. He rejected the offer, uninterested in being the rebels' pawn. But, Elloe, a warrior whose father was killed during gladiator training accepts the rebels' offer, only to be taken into custody by Death's Head Warguards. In the Great Arena, Hulk and his team learned that if they survived three rounds of combat they would win their freedom. But the Emperor broke the rules, attacking the gladiators with a Deathfire bomb and a platoon of Death's Heads. Hulk's crew survived, except for Lavin Skee, who was killed in the fray. That night, the surviving members of the crew spoke their true names and took an oath-they are now Warbound to each other, no matter what may come. And what's coming is the Silver Savage...' The storys been great so far, and the art's fantastic. The best book Marvel puts out, the top of my list. Very re-readable(and not in that confused, what just happened way). It will make you root for the Brood(or atleast one). Good stuff.

Wolverine #42 was pretty good as well. Humberto Ramos kinetic, exagerated style makes wolverine slashing out an eyeball quite cool stuff. Beautiful and a little crazy. He's draws Wolverine like I like him, short and hairy. A civil war tie in, and a great interaction between Luke Cage and Logan where Logan explains to Luke what's so bad about registration: Luke: You really gonna compare us--SUPER HEROES--to german Jews? Logan: All I know is there's a sentinel camped out on the front lawn of xavier's and he ain't there to sell girl scout cookies. Luke: He's there for your protection. Logan: And what if that sentinel on the front lawn was a burning cross? Luke: Excuse me? Logan: 'cause that's what a sentinel is to mutants, Bub, a burnin' cross, a sumbol of opression. Of bigotry. I need a beer. Worth checking out.

More thoughts on diversity by El Vale	Jun 4th, 2006 07:22:47 PM
I really hope diversity isn't really about relatability (is that a word?) in the end, because that would be pathetic. I've tried to find 20 year old Colombian characters and/or superheroes who are into writing and comics but there are none, i'm sorry to say, so there's no way i can relate to comics. I'm pretty sure Psy can only relate to gay caucasian characters who are into tits and Thalya can only relate to blonde chicks with high IQs, right? I mean it's not like human stories and emotions are universal.
Wolverine by El Vale	Jun 4th, 2006 07:27:57 PM
I've always thought Huge Ackman's Wolverine is a way better Wolverine than the comic book character, i don't know. Well except for Morrison's Wolverine (Remember that NXM silent issue where Jean and Emma are taking a psychic trip through Xavier's mind and Scott and Logan are waiting for them outside the lab or whatever? Wolverine just sits there and reads a book, i found that incredible). I'm sorry but a Wolverine who's only capable of slashing through stuff, grunting and smoking cigars, sounds like the worst non-character ever. Not an option.
Oh yeah, that Wolverine was great. by dregmobile	Jun 4th, 2006 08:20:55 PM
It was my first Wolvey (can I call him 'Wolvey'?) comic, and since I only have two comics to buy this week, I'll try and hunt down number 41. Just got done with the latest Uncanny X-Men. What a solid comic. I remember dipping into this title in the mid-90s and it was solid as a rock. And still is. The art is great, the pace fast but not too fast. Always exciting and interesting. Too damn many for me to backtrack, but I hope to stay with this title for a while. Bastards forgot to throw F4 537 into my order so I had to settle for the b/w second print weeps. I look forward to checking out Superman/Batman 26 though 25 was a very lame conclusion to a semi-cool fantasy arc. Spider-Man 532 was great. No action, but a very momentous issue. Can't wait to see Spidey forced to take down a former friend - all because papa Stark says he should. And I've been fascinated with this Hulk arc, though I know little about it. I'd love to go back and grab the issues where he is betrayed and all that. Even the Vegas shit if it is in that title. Wonder what they have in mind for the 100th issue ... I need to get a better job so I can buy more. moviemack, great words about DC. Grant Morrison's Batman looks kinda tasty with the promise of more Bruce Wayne, but even so. Still got that bad IC taste. See how bored I get when that series kicks in ... and Thalya, I'd give Manhunter a try if I didn't know it was going to end soon. Though I know jack about the title. How long did I think this was a Martian Manhunter spin-off? Embarrasing.

But the thing is, you don't know Manhunter will end soon. It just got a reprieve until issue #30 and it could go on if sales pick up. Do me a favor and go buy issue #22 and tell me it isn't good writing. Granted, it's midway through an arc, but just tell me all the stuff in there isn't comic-y goodness that makes you want to check out other issues, even with some of the deep continuity (though if anything the OYL issues will explain most stuff). All I've read so far is the first TPB and the OYL stuff and I gotta say, the trade hooked me immediately. And as Heathen mentioned, there are hints that the upcoming issues (#26-30) are going to tie in to the larger universe in a greater degree, so it might be worth it if you're reading other mainstream DC stuff. And, any continuity details I can help fill in, I will. Hell, if you wanted, I'll buy and ship you #22, just read the darn thing!

Wolverine stuff by The Heathen	Jun 5th, 2006 01:14:39 PM
read #42 last night and I think the wrting is better than the art. Ramos is almost too Bachaloish for me, but not quite as sucky. I don't mind Wolvie small and what not, but not my taste. The writing was pretty good though, despite the Civil War scenes I've pretty much already have read. LOVED the last line: "I've been in the Avenges for a coupla months now. And now I finally have something to Avenge." Nice. * Vale, that silent issue is probably my favorite of the first New X-Men HC. For, Wolverine as a character though, I think he's way more than just the savage beast guy. He's lived a long life and repeatedly lost loved ones just as he begins to think he can have a normal existence. Not to mention the secret agent he was, Weapon X and Patch among other things. I know it's hip for everyone to hate on Logan because he's in everything, but he's a damn good character when handled right. Download Wolverine #41. I think you'll like that one a lot. * dreg, you won't be sorry either. : ) *** Lesbian powers? A few friends of mine have those

...can be viewed here: http://tinyurl.com/kqzb3. I read that thing over and over as a kid. The thing is, while all the stories were vaguely supernatural and creepy in tone, I recall the Hawkman and Hawkgirl one as being the freakiest. It involved bizarre humanoid creatures living inside Mt. Kroatoa just before it erupted. I don't remember if they looked melty, or if it was that when they touched people they melted, or what...I just remember it was jacked up and ended with a volcano erupting and the freaky melty shit was pre-"Raiders" and made me sit back and go "manohmanohman". That whole issue is pretty spooky, though, so if you can find a cheap reprint it's totally worth checking out. All the individual stories are great--even the Johnny Quick one.

That sonuvabitch has been broadcasting mind control waves back into time to 1985 when I was still just a damn teenager?!? What a bastard.....

Heath you pussy...... by Psynapse	Jun 5th, 2006 06:07:41 PM
I'm one of the biggest 'gore-wimps' ALIVE (icky just offends my sensibilities what can I say?) and the face melting in Raiders ALWAYS looked like what it was to me: Hot Wax sculpture getting buttfucked by a hair dryer. Then again, I'm the kid who made his own wax ragnarok with his sister's gay ass candle sculpture collection.....
Manhunter by dregmobile	Jun 5th, 2006 06:43:23 PM
I might take a look at that TP first. And this line has me curious: "Manhunter's shocking new strategy makes her infamous in the eyes of heroes and villains alike!" ***** I've never had my feet both planted firmly in DC if only because I know very little about Power Girl. She has always bugged me with her short blonde hair and massive tits. I just figured she was a joke ... and was shocked to see her central role in IC. I can't remember, but I hope she died in IC. Is there an artist out there that can draw one of her breasts smaller than her actual head? If not, she needs to be nursing babies big time.
but that's one of her superpowers... by blackthought	Jun 5th, 2006 07:05:32 PM
why would you want them drawn smaller?

Awesome! I especially recommend issue #4 in that TPB, the intro/origin of Dylan Battles. * Also, Peege is still alive and well. JSA: Classified #1-4 might encourage a changing of opinion, too. * 2 more days til ArchEnemies #3 comes out! w00t!

I know why Heathen and I were scared of face-melting... by Shigeru	Jun 6th, 2006 01:01:00 PM
It's cause Raiders of the Lost Ark came out when we were um 12 months old. I don't remember when I first saw it on VHS but I must have been a wee lad of 5 or so. And that scared me then! By that time Psy you were like 18 right? ;)
'unconvenient' I meant by The Heathen	Jun 6th, 2006 01:02:54 PM
can't even spell the title right gorramit!!! Go Tuesday!
or is it inconvenient? by blackthought	Jun 6th, 2006 01:07:11 PM

it's 'in' by The Heathen	Jun 6th, 2006 01:21:35 PM
but then again I forget when I started trying to be clever and where I'm really just stoopid. Then again, I've twixed nethers while riding in Y's, Warnagler too. Hmm
I was 13...... by Psynapse	Jun 6th, 2006 02:09:35 PM
So yeah....a bit of an age gap in our respective experiences.
tuesday! by Darth Kal-El	Jun 6th, 2006 03:19:19 PM
good to see things are in full swing here at the tbs.i remember being scared of the face melting as well but i was more horrified by the dinner scene and the bugs in the tunnel scene from temple of doom. im more of a pussy when it comes to bugs and spiders and the like. i still cant watch that scene in the tunnels to this day without it making my skin crawl. i had to drop exterminators for similar reasons. and heath its inconvenient but we all got it anyways. speaking of nutsacks warren g dropped a cool rhyme on one of his early songs-"I was in baghdad before these little youngsters was in they daddy's bag" it just reminded me of that.on comics, i just read the lates ultimate spidey and goddamn it was good! i was going to drop this title from my monthlies and just wait till the trades came out since a new arc just started. i picked up the first issue out of curiosity and i think im still hoooked! ultimate blade and ultimate morbius kick ass! and of course the usual top notch writing and art that i love is still in place. this is comic crack!
you dropped Exterminators? by The Heathen	Jun 6th, 2006 05:05:10 PM
: ( - They're going to have a 616, Blade ongoing soon. Written by the guy who's writing Wolverine currently, Guggenheim.
i had to my friend by Darth Kal-El	Jun 6th, 2006 05:10:30 PM
that sounds pretty sweet! i love the blade character and all the mytholgy associated. the movies rock too
watch out for them reavers though by blackthought	Jun 6th, 2006 06:06:29 PM

Those Reavers have scary mouths by The Heathen	Jun 6th, 2006 06:44:47 PM
When's the Blade show premiering? Oh, Sticky Fingaz

i appreciate it! gods i sound like a little bitch but seriously bugs creep me out! fat bitches dont bother me too much.also i cant wait for the blade show! and werent they going to do a nightstalkers show as well?
the goon would make a fun show by blackthought	Jun 6th, 2006 07:47:44 PM

that would be a sweet show! by Darth Kal-El	Jun 6th, 2006 08:01:08 PM
id also love to see an invincible animated.speaking of shows i keep seeing these statues and maquettes advertised for star wars animated and they seem to feature characters from the OT. is there a new star wars cartoon coming out?has anyone heard about this? oh please be true,please be true!
I think so by The Heathen	Jun 6th, 2006 08:31:10 PM
I think there's going to be a continuation of Tartovsky's, Clone Wars
Avengers: Disassembled by dregmobile	Jun 6th, 2006 09:10:50 PM
Is this a TP worth buying? The artwork looks like a bit of a mess. I'm wondering if it's required/recommended reading before I get into the new New Avengers first TP. *** I have faith in a Wolverine movie so long as Hugh Jackman doesn't jump ship. And if he jumps, pray Russell Crowe takes over. *** Watching Poseidon was like watching a glossy floating turd bobbing up and down in rough seas ...
thanks heath by Darth Kal-El	Jun 6th, 2006 09:15:28 PM
sounds mighty cool! im a huge star wars nerd so im there! i miss samurai jack too! hey season 3 just came out on dvd! and venture brothers!god i wish there was more hours in a day or less work in the ones there is!dreg i havetn read it but the general opinion on this board is its crap.
You know how you felt about, Poseidon? by The Heathen	Jun 6th, 2006 10:01:26 PM
That's the general opinion towards Disassembled. Wolverine will be Jackman. He's producing the flick. I haven't seen Venture Brothers. I feel uninformed. Please inform me?
Vale is not in a rock band by El Vale	Jun 7th, 2006 12:28:42 AM
Tho' that would be totally sexy. No, i was attending my friend Felipe's band rehearsal and my cousins and me got up to play some punk songs and that was, sadly, it.
Avengers: Disassembled by Clifford Brown	Jun 7th, 2006 12:36:49 AM
I bought it after getting into New Avengers (have all issues now), and it helped me out a lot because it also explained the beginnings of House of M. I've only read through it once though
Best Wolverine Ever? by Clifford Brown	Jun 7th, 2006 12:38:39 AM
Jack Nicholson circa 1978. Give him the hair and get him buffed... he's Logan.
