MARVEL PRESENTS: THIS YEAR'S LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE #1!!! by Err	Jan 31st, 2007 06:51:25 PM
I grow weary of 52. It makes me want to just wait for it until I can buy the whole thing or check it out at the library.
Tad Williams: Is that the Fantasy series author? by chrth	Jan 31st, 2007 07:18:22 PM
(I think it's something like the Overworld series) Or someone else named Tad Williams?
Tad by MCVamp	Jan 31st, 2007 07:38:23 PM
Tad Tad Tad. Destined to be a name that disappears from common use in the next 30 years. Just like "Dick" and "Kaitlyn." Actually, just crossing my fingers on the "Kaitlyn" thing. I hate that name. Any father who allows his daughter to be named "Kaitlyn" doesn't deserve the balls he made her with.
I would have liked to have read more hate by dregmobile	Jan 31st, 2007 07:40:50 PM
for Civil War: The Return. There have been some pretty boring CW issues floating around, but that one really topped them. Yeah, the MiS #5 cover was not so dynamic. But interior, it was all good.

Mr. Mcpoops by Immortal_Fish	Jan 31st, 2007 08:32:15 PM
If you think Marvel Comics have sucked monkey nuts since the first X-Men movie, then, clearly, you have as much love for Marvel characters as Bryan Singer.
Marvel's so much more interesting than DC lately. by ZeroCorpse	Jan 31st, 2007 08:40:35 PM
All DC seems to be doing is rehashing the same stories over and over, and all the characters have lost any sense of humanity and become far too powerful and godlike. Even Batman is going way off track lately with the whole "son of Batman" thing, which we know is going to end in such a way as to undo everything that was done. That's DC's style: Do some major shit, and then undo it and reset to the way things were before the story arc started. -- At least Marvel is sticking with the consequences of Civil War, most notably the rift between Cap and Iron Man, and the loss of Spidey's secret identity. Spider-Man has been some great reading lately!!!
Joey Q has the balls? by loodabagel	Jan 31st, 2007 08:49:56 PM

What is with giving Batman AND Wolverine children?? by CarmillaVonDoom	Jan 31st, 2007 09:46:33 PM
First Supes with the awful Singer movie, now these two icons. WHY?!?
Eternals #6 by dino_hardbody	Jan 31st, 2007 10:05:45 PM
Ok, I don't read CW or Eternals but I did take a quick peek @ the last few pages of Eternals #6. Man, is Squashua ever right. That dude with the long beard put CW in its dirty little place. I was laugh'en my arse off in the aisle. And I though IC was crap but at least it had a decent story. CW sounded like crap from day 1. So glad I'm a DC guy. BTW, is CW EVER going to end? I mean, how long can they drag this dead horse?
They will drag out Civil War by dregmobile	Jan 31st, 2007 10:14:40 PM
As long as they can come up with stupid one-shots that my the other half of my split personality keeps purchasing. Having said that, both personalities are looking forward to Civil War #7.
I was really let down by "The Return" by johncage	Jan 31st, 2007 11:01:08 PM
Not only does it crap all over Captain Marvel's death -- I don't care if they plucked him from before he died, he's still back -- but it seems really pointless. Was there a need or demand for Captain Mar-Vell's return? The issue was really limp after much pomp, fanfare, and teases from Marvel about the issue, and it didn't even totally explain WHY the Pro-Registration guys brought Marvel back. They went back in time and brought their friend who died to the present so he could oversee a prison? Move on, I say. There was absolutely NO NEED to bring Captain Mar-Vell back. I'm sick of these ridiculous practices of bringing back characters that've been gone for years because creators have fond memories of them.

Tad Williams by werewolfbynight	Jan 31st, 2007 11:42:25 PM
If any of you ara fan of fantasy do yourself a favor and read the Memory,Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy. It was written by Mr. Williams in the eighties and it is the best fantasy series I have ever read.

The Return was fucking GARBAGE by Steve Rogers	Feb 1st, 2007 02:57:31 AM

Why is everyone so down on Civil War? by Peter Crispin	Feb 1st, 2007 02:58:04 AM
Why is everyone so down on Civil War? For me, it really delivers on all levels. Not fond of the Captain Mar-Vell development, but the main series and Front Line have both been excellent. Peter Crispin
werewolfbynight by raw_bean	Feb 1st, 2007 04:08:54 AM
I've been considering readin Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series, but The ridiculous bloat of his Otherland series has left me trepidatious. My sister says M,S&T is much better. What say you?
FUCK Mar-Vel by WarpedElements	Feb 1st, 2007 06:43:27 AM
He was one of the few characters who died and STAYED dead. That's why no one really 'saw it coming'. I even read somewhere that people thought Speedball was gonna take up the mantle. But whatever, it was not expected because they seemed to respect the fact that he died. They could've atleast brought back Genis-Vel since that hack Fabian killed him in such a god awful way, and made the character boring as hell. Seriously, who takes an insane character and makes them sane and glory seeking? Oh wait..Fabian did that with both Deadpool AND Genis. Fucking horrid. Anyway, boo for marvel for losing it's sense of style, grace, and putting Spider-man or Wolverine in every 3rd comic for a boost in sales.
Marvel copying DC by stones_throw	Feb 1st, 2007 06:54:51 AM
Last week: Sentry=Superman, Norman Osborn=Lex Luthor This week: Captain Marvel return=Barry Allen in Crisis On Infinite Earths AND I just noticed that Marvel's tagline to Civil War, "Whose side are you on", is exactly the same as DC's RANN-THANAGAR WAR tagline! You'd think SOMEONE at Marvel would have noticed the tagline they have plastered across their ginormous event was a rip-off. Then again, if the editors can't even be bothered to read Marvel comics, I doubt they're paying much attention to the competition.
The Return...Why? by Jenscot	Feb 1st, 2007 08:28:47 AM
I will chime in with "The Return Sucks" group. This story was a complete waste. What possible reason would there be for bringing Mar-Vell back this way. Poorly written and certainly poorly conceived. Simply goes with the mess that Civil War has been since the debut, an interesting concept with crappy, sloppy and disappointing execution.
Vomiting Bile vs Restrained Animosity by Squashua	Feb 1st, 2007 08:43:01 AM
I could have done it. It was so easy to just shit myself on the page and totally wigg out on the review, but last time I did that (Teen Titans #41 and the last issue of Shadowpact I ever purchased), well "eh". Didn't feel up to it, and asking people to rally behind a complete spazz doesn't really work well. Would y'all prefer a restrained semi-sarcastic hand or complete out-and-out loopy-doo?
OH YEAH RIGHT by ImJustSaying	Feb 1st, 2007 08:56:48 AM
Try not reading Civil War when Captain America DIES. This Civil War thing got me into Marvel Comics, it's awesome. Also, thank god there's less mutants. That was getting ridiculous. And Batman has a kid???? How do I not know about this? What's the story there, and what issues do I need to read?
Lucky me! by loodabagel	Feb 1st, 2007 09:18:44 AM
For living in a town with so few comics available, I never have to make the mistake of buying any Civil-War related crap! Suckers!
"This Civil War thing got me into Marvel Comics" by The Heathen	Feb 1st, 2007 09:24:30 AM
Now use that catalyst to go read something that's actually worthwhile. When you look back on Civil War you 'may' at least have a fond memory of it getting you into comics. Emphasis on 'may'.
Howard Mackie's Spider-Man run got me into comics.... by loodabagel	Feb 1st, 2007 09:35:38 AM
You know, the one where he brought Aunt May back from the dead. I didn't really care though, since I didn't even know she was dead at the time.

Just thinking. Who likes the Jenkins/Lee series?
You mean, Frontline? by The Heathen	Feb 1st, 2007 09:50:55 AM
It's aiight. Far better than Civil War itself.
Hay is for horses. by Squashua	Feb 1st, 2007 09:55:13 AM
Also, I don't want to be like AHTF because then I'd get arrested in Boston for terror tactics (see Today's News).
Good point... by loodabagel	Feb 1st, 2007 09:59:23 AM
It's settled then. We do not want to be at all like ATHF. But about the Inhumans, that was the Paul Jenkins story I was talking about. I also really enjoyed his Spider-Man comics...
Jenkins is hit or miss with me. by The Heathen	Feb 1st, 2007 10:09:31 AM
Hit: Generation M, Frontline Miss: The Sentry, The Return
Eternals should be an ongoing series... by loodabagel	Feb 1st, 2007 10:09:59 AM
Marvel could stick it on Max or Icon or one of their other criminally underused imprints. Seriously, those things are dying for more comics. Marvel is really fucking up in these regards. Even if Eternals isn't even any good, the Marvel mature lines are a joke compared to what DC has going on. DC is so far ahead of them it makes me mad. Goddamnit! Make me EIC now!
It is the same Tad Williams! Otherland is probably by CrichtonAstronut	Feb 1st, 2007 10:42:43 AM
fantasy and scifi novelist. Check out the Otherland series his biggest series. it's a great blend cyberpunk and mythical magic(by cyberspace) from various cultures. And it's got great characters and a real epic feel to it And Memory Sorrow and Thorne, is one of the best old school fantasy epics out there. DC mentioned his recent Shadowmarch, another epic fantasy. This is very cool news.

Tad Williams is the new writer on Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis after Busiek leaves, hence all the extra DC assignments.

I am so far behind in comics- by TheRevengeOfBayouWilly	Feb 1st, 2007 11:15:05 AM
I have no idea what the fuck is going on. Of course, judging from what I hear, that might not be such a bad thing. Has anyone heard the rumor that Steve Rogers is going to kick it in Civil War?
Comics are Retarded by DarfurOnTheRocks	Feb 1st, 2007 11:22:39 AM
...in the way that now you have to buy 5 different titles to truly understand what is going on. That is why I stopped reading. Every bloody issue is now a crossover!
Hey Voig-Hijacker by Squashua	Feb 1st, 2007 11:32:58 AM

Umm, that would be Vog-Hijacker by Squashua	Feb 1st, 2007 11:34:40 AM
It would be nice if AiCN hired someone to redo all the programming and CSS on the site.
Did Squash just 'pwn' himself? by The Heathen	Feb 1st, 2007 11:38:07 AM
If Steve Rogers dies… I'll be pissed and rant and complain and then a year from now he'll be brought back. They shouldn't fuckin kill him though if they do. Not only is it stupid for stupids sake, but it would neuter Bru's excellent Captain America run and the potential of where it's going.
AICN improvements by TheRevengeOfBayouWilly	Feb 1st, 2007 11:40:10 AM
Does anyone think that they should completely redo this site, with more of a "forum" type deal, or at least a redone talkback with spell check, editor, and link to a users profile? Oh, and I'm for not killing Steve Rogers either.
Yes. by Squashua	Feb 1st, 2007 11:47:43 AM
Yes. And if they want to hire me to do it, they've got me e-mail addy.

You want coherent conversation, go outside and meet real live people. You want structured discussion, go waste time on a forum. Talkback is the place for pure adulterated democratic expression, typos and reverse-time postings and all.

What is everyone's relationship with comic shops? by TheRevengeOfBayouWilly	Feb 1st, 2007 12:43:28 PM
I used to work in one, and I was thinking of making a blog or website about the thoughts from the other side of the counter. I live in KC now, and I'm surprised at the lackluster greetings I received on entering their stores. Any thoughts on the subject?

Cheap, online subscriptions is a harsh mistress. Very harsh. Like wire scrub harsh.
I love my shop… by The Heathen	Feb 1st, 2007 12:57:48 PM
It's nice to walk in and they have my file ready for me because we know each other and shoot the shit about this or that and we suggest different things to read and check out and what not. I realize this may be weird because every other comic shop peeps I've met have been… odd, and not in the charming kind of way, but I got lucky. Envy me.
raw_bean by werewolfbynight	Feb 1st, 2007 01:03:19 PM
I have only read the first volume of the otherland series. But I have read Memory, Sorrow and Thorn three times. I hope this answers your question.
worse comic shop ever by werewolfbynight	Feb 1st, 2007 01:26:27 PM
When I was a kid in the mid seventies I had the mispleasure of visiting Wee Willies Comics in Portland Oregon. Wee Willy was not small. He was obese and nasty. I told him that one day I hoped to be a comic book artist. He replied, "you will never be a comic book artiste." Years later I realized while reading an interview with Matt Groenig that this was the person that Comic Shop guy was based on.

Remember when that clown Jar Jar f'ed up by posting from multiple user names and screwed himself. Ahh, it soothes the soul. One of the biggest screw ups ever.
STOP THE PRESSES!! by nofate	Feb 1st, 2007 03:10:30 PM
Well spank my ass and call me Charlie, I agree with every single thing on Ambush's Silent War review! I also really dug Son of M and was waiting for this sequel since it was announced. However, having it come out at the end of CW and having the FF act like nothing's happened really ticked me off. Even a Marvel zombie like myself. Couldn't Marvel have waited until after CW? I guess they want to kick DC's ass on sales right away. Only one nitpicking issue Ambush, Buckley is Marvel's publisher. Quesada is the EIC, so pass it to the n#*ga on your left. Also, I'm no expert on Inhuman mythology but can they no longer generate terrigen mists with what little Quicksilver stole? I seem to recall him only carrying around a Thermal size container of the stuff. Also, I guess it would be the equivalent of the Black Panther throwing a fit about someone taking their vibranium (I'm geeking out here), but the mists are supposed to be this natural resource the Inhumans just lay claim because they lived near it. Why declare war on just this small amount that was confiscated?

I also agree with Bug's review of Silent War, almost 100% even. I think Hine and Martinez knocked Son of M out of the park and in all sincerity I really believe that Son of M along with Silent War would be a much bigger, better, thought out mega event book than HoM and especially Civil War. Anyone who's read Son of M knows that major stuff happens and it would make for a much better story and not jeopardize character in doing so. What do you all think?

RE: "Remember when that clown Jar Jar f'ed up by posting from multiple user names and screwed himself. Ahh, it soothes the soul. One of the biggest screw ups ever." Oh yes! I remember it well. My particular actions during that debacle can only be described as Pure Ownage. I wonder if Vog remembers that...(hint, hint)...
Mr. Nice Gaius by The Heathen	Feb 1st, 2007 04:42:20 PM
Sir, you destroyed him. It was fantastic. Pure Ownage indeed.
Oh ho! It was not me in the guise of Vog... by loodabagel	Feb 1st, 2007 07:06:20 PM
It was Fascict Bowie. Now, what I wanted to get at way back in the day, before I had to go to my next class was this: I thought The Sentry was a good comic. The one shots were largely unneccesary and didn't add to the story, but I thought the bulk of things was pretty good. The ending didn't exactly take me by surprise, but I was not expecting it and I thought that the last page was pure comics gold. Even if you didn't like the story and possibly felt "cheated" by the gimmicky Stan Lee interviews, I think you had to at least like the Jae Lee art. Spank!
"The Return" was truly awful. by SleazyG.	Feb 1st, 2007 09:16:34 PM
Mar-Vell is brought back because...ummm...Reed Richards and Tony Stark needed a prison guard? Seriously? It doesn't just tarnish the memory of the only Marvel death left that mattered, it also further drags characters who used to be heroes through the sewers, filthying up every one of their past acts. It also manages to do all of that in the lamest, least inspiring, most pointless and unemotional manner imaginable. And all of it is done in only half an issue, because apparently the return of Mar-Vell is such an afterthought that it isn't even worthy of a single full comic. Then, to make matters worse, we get an utterly unnecessary Sentry story in which he kills off Crusher Creel, tells us in-panel not to worry because he's not really dead (despite being atomized), and then decides to register himself. Which, BTW, is a story we should have maybe seen before The Sentry plucked Mar-Vell out of the Negative Zone and into his future, huh? Maybe? So we'd know why the fuck Sentry was working with Iron Man? Jesus fuck, what a wretched, pointless waste of a book. On the upside, those dozens of fans who've been demanding Captain Marvel be brought back from the dead and then dropped into the depressing, confusing, ass-backwards Modern Marvel Universe got their wish, and I bet they'll all be there to buy CAPTAIN MARVEL #1. Anyone wanna bet on how long it takes for that one to get cancelled? Smart money says #25. They'll be too embarassed to admit they fucked up at first, so they'll kick the propaganda machine into high gear, but it's not gonna be enough. Probably just drop him into they 5th Bendis AVENGERS title by then, though. Unless they just suddenly decide it's a six-issue miniseries instead of an ongoing, like OMEGA FLIGHT, that is...

Marvel by humboldt99	Feb 2nd, 2007 02:37:38 AM
As I'm sure no one is reading but just to add to the choir Marvel is killing itself. Shitty bringback of Captain Marvel, crap Iron Man, Reed Richards and Cap representation, buckling to Hudlins overpositioning of the Panther (who is cool, but come on...if Galactus showed up and Hudlin wrote it his bodygaurds would hold him back while Panther killed him by kneecaping him) and the complete ignoring of what is working...Ahnnilation, Beyond, Agents of Atlas, Punisher Max. Bah, I really got back into comics about 5 years ago after the 90's mainly as a Marvel Zombie, but now I'm buying much more DC.
"Jack Bauer storming the Marvel editorial offices" by The Heathen	Feb 2nd, 2007 08:13:12 AM
Dreg, brilliant! humboldt99, I'm in the same situation. looda, I meant the recent 8 issue miniseries of The Sentry with John Romita Jr. on art. Not the one before it. So, Omega Flight is just a mini now? Huh. I bet Vale is loving this tb.

I haven't read any of these comics and I don't plan on it, either. I do think it's kind of funny that everybody is saying this Civil War: The Return was wretched, but you all bought a copy. So DC is doing a reverse 52 thingy? Counting down? More $$$ for them!
Well, I bought one... by Squashua	Feb 2nd, 2007 12:21:59 PM
...so that the rest of you wouldn't have to. And if you read last week's talkback, you would have seen my advice. At least you listened (or was apathetic or poor enough ) and didn't buy a copy, Shiggy-Pop.
Yeah you don't count, Squash by Shigeru	Feb 2nd, 2007 12:47:34 PM
You took one for the team, so we didn't have to (kinda like Jesus only with bad comics). And I appreciate it. Due to fucking my arm (I fought a bear) I haven't been to the shop in like 2 1/2 weeks. I think I am going tonight. But I probably wouldn't have bought it anyways. I just hope they have a copy of Mouse Guard left.

i just got done with THE IRONIC IRON MAN: EXTREMIS TP and having finally been able to read those first four issues, i thought it was great. i don't understand how that kind of graphic violence can make it into the regular series of one of marvel's most popular heroes, but never mind. i loved the art so much i definitely have to scan again. i liked how the artist used tom cruise as a template for stark, considering - and i'm guessing - this was drawn around the time tom cruise was still considering IM as a project. the way the series is running at the moment, after EXECUTE PROGRAM, i'm wondering why i'm still collecting. yo, blackthought - can i get three dots?
I'm bitter by Shigeru	Feb 5th, 2007 01:00:13 PM
I spent 34 bucks at the shop on Friday, cause I hadn't been in a couple weeks. I didn't buy a single book from MARVEL or DC. Eat it! (though to be fair I would have bought Spider-Man Loves MJ if I don't get it a week early always). I bought: Mouse Guard #6 - so good! RELEASE THE BEES!! Holy shit! Walking Dead #whatever - Kirkman you are a sick bastard... didn't see that one coming! Ninja Tales #1 - some good and some bad. Which makes for a not so great $7 (yes, SEVEN!!!!) spent. And the 2nd Goon trade. Which is amazing. I know I'm late to the party but I heart The Goon now.

That was cool as shit. I can't wait for the next series and the HC for this one. Haven't read Walking Dead yet. Is it sicker than the last one? I'm nervous. looks left to right

is the proper internet speak for looks left to right. No it's not sicker than last issue, but it was REALLY unexpected. Kinda proves that (almost) anything can happen. Spoilers: no one dies.

Don't worry about Mar-Vell by rev_skarekroe	Feb 6th, 2007 10:06:07 AM
Starlin will undo the whole thing next time they let him write a series, just like he does every time someone besides him uses Thanos.
Uncle Sam you say? by Shigeru	Feb 6th, 2007 10:07:32 AM
Hm, will give it a gander.

Walking Dead #34 aka JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! by El Vale	Feb 6th, 2007 05:15:45 PM
Now THAT was perfect. I also just finished reading The Fountain and it was good, i liked it. I have a feeling the movie will be better, but if it's not, then i won't like it all that much.
Oh and Heath by El Vale	Feb 6th, 2007 05:23:41 PM
Have you read Punisher: The Cell? Seriously it's like a perfect Punisher comic. If you read Punisher: The End, you know what i'm talking about. If you didn't, you need to get you shit together, man, wtf (JK) I read that Punisher X-Mas Special by Stuart Moore and whatsisdick and it was okay, but The Cell, man...that's where it's at. I also loved that latest Punisher arc, Man of Stone. Highly recommended.
Didn't you guyshear that rumor by El Vale	Feb 6th, 2007 05:42:10 PM
About Steve Rogers becoming the new Iron Man? Not making this shit up. (And i only know this because i read Lying in the gutters every week)
Hahaha. by dregmobile	Feb 6th, 2007 11:31:17 PM
Or Steve Rogers has always been Captain America, but with a glass eye ...
