used to write a column in an old comics zine called Amazing Heroes, it was a great little column, but he could be a little bitch sometimes.
Sounds like a real book indeed by SpencerTrilby	Mar 17th, 2008 06:36:09 AM
and not just another meaningless tie-in; let's hope the movie looks and sounds like a real film as well and not another dumbed down Marvel property.

who needs accuracy?
You forgot midwife Jack Kirby by Irving_Forbush	Mar 17th, 2008 08:13:02 AM

I'll remind myself to read it later. Did I just cause a paradox in the time-space procrastinum?
Marvel is crap now... by Phimseto	Mar 17th, 2008 09:17:05 AM
...Joe Quesada is a complete disgrace. He has taken every Marvel character and storyline and turned into a grist mill for his various liberal angst.
I predict this lasts 2 weeks max, who'll give me odds? by irc-Hollywood	Mar 17th, 2008 09:20:52 AM
Anybody? Mory and consistancey? I don't think so x
Iron Man is a cunt by messi	Mar 17th, 2008 09:25:15 AM
Captain America FTW!
C3-PO could kick Iron Man's ass! by The Biomind	Mar 17th, 2008 09:45:41 AM
Iron Man is pussy! Even C3-PO could kick his ass.
Robert Downey... by Seany-Wan	Mar 17th, 2008 09:51:51 AM
hit the perfect hero note in the trailer when he declares "I want to protect the people that I put in harm's way!" Kinda like when Bale said "Gotham isn't beyond saving."
2 weeks? by Internet Thug	Mar 17th, 2008 09:56:38 AM
WTF? are you new? If there is a column tomorrow I owe you a coke.
Re: Moriarty by xavier masterson	Mar 17th, 2008 11:10:39 AM
No one would think of you as a procrastinator if you didn't feel compelled to constantly announce your intentions. Quit telling us what you plan to write, or when you plan on posting it and people will quit giving you a hard time when you fail to deliver on schedule, or to deliver at all. Now that I've got the obligatory talkback scolding out of the way, nice review. And I wish you luck on your daily column.
Xavier has a point... by Phimseto	Mar 17th, 2008 11:18:46 AM
...you do have a really bad habit of telling folks in advance what your intentions are, which is a bad habit only because your intentions never pan out. You'd probably still be writing Rumblings from the Lab (as opposed to using the term for occasional hodge-podge posts) if you hadn't placed that burden on yourself.
Phimseto Uhh does that include Captain America and Iron Fist by messi	Mar 17th, 2008 11:38:10 AM
Cos those two books are better than your life.
Several MARVEL Books Are Still Good by LaserPants	Mar 17th, 2008 12:33:37 PM
The whole XMEN thing is over and done, they managed to kill it for me. They're totally not the heroes I loved as a kid during the Claremont 80s. That being said, several MARVEL books are still rather good, to whit: Iron Man, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Captain America, Thor, Thunderbolts, Annihilation: Conquest, and the latest arc of Fantastic Four are all really good.
He wrote reveiws for Amazing Heroes... by PastePotPete	Mar 17th, 2008 01:44:21 PM
...back when the black and white independent comics were storming the comic shops during the 80's... He trashed my book...I think he liked being a dick...or maybe he just liked dick...
You could alternate with 'One Thing I Hate Today.' by MartinBlank	Mar 17th, 2008 04:53:34 PM
Today, the Iron Man book; tomorrow, McSpaced or something like that. Or you could tackle "Funny Games." You kind of slapped it briefly but I'd be curious to read an extended take on the original/remake from you.
Iron Man always was a fun read back when. by TomBodet	Mar 17th, 2008 04:59:43 PM
Not sure what they've done w/ him of late, but that's all to the good-the movie will be worthy just because.
It sure does, Messi by Phimseto	Mar 17th, 2008 05:03:23 PM
The whole "Captain America was created by experimenting on African-Americans" crap back in 2001/2002 was the first sign that something was seriously wrong in Marvelville. And I say that as an owner of "Avengers #4".
Let's all hope he's a Skrull by BetaRayBill07	Mar 17th, 2008 10:18:11 PM
Probably just his usual prick self though, unfortunately
Iron Man - still not a "bad guy." by grendel824	Mar 17th, 2008 10:42:24 PM
He might come off as a "prick" in the same way that all genius characters usually do (see Dr. House for an extreme example), but making him a skrull would be stupid. He was no less a hero than anybody else in Civil War, and, moreso than Cap at least, can say that every decision he made was ethicially justifiable. Besides, I'm still convinced that he and Cap were working together to get ready to combat the upcoming "Secret Invasion."
Phimseto You fucking idiot by messi	Mar 18th, 2008 12:15:21 AM
I'm talking about Brubaker's critcally acclaimed Captain America you dumb shit. Stop talking shit if you don't even know what's going on at the moment. you're saying marvel is shit by thngs that happened in 2001/2002. comepletely disregarding insanely godlike stuff like Immortal Iron Fist? And Brubaker's Captain America or his Daredevil? How about Ennis' Punisher, probably book of the decade. And Ultimate Spider-man has been another great book.
Ramin will own your asses by Musicballs	Mar 18th, 2008 12:43:16 AM
Just wait.
Good Luck by elbmirb	Mar 18th, 2008 04:02:16 AM

Good Luck Mori by elbmirb	Mar 18th, 2008 04:03:28 AM
Hey big guy, i really do hope you last the 2 weeks, as much as i enjoy your posts, ain't nobody here got the consistency of the legend that is Capone... if you could step up to the mark for just a few days... well that would be progress my friend.
hahaha by Phimseto	Mar 18th, 2008 08:23:45 AM
Holy shit, Messi, I haven't been fanboy flamed in a long time. Brings me back. I brought up the Captain America storyline because you brought the character up and it was the first example that came to mind. If you want to cherry-pick some accomplishments, yeah, of course there are some there. My criticism was targeted at Quesada, and for all the titles you bring up, there is stuff like "Civil War" (great concept, terribly executed) or "One More Day". He runs the brand, hasn't done right by it in some pretty major instances, therefore I don't trust the brand. There may be some good stuff, and if there is, knock yourself out. Enjoy it.
I'm just wondering about the... by Kid Z	Mar 18th, 2008 03:35:09 PM
...appearing and disappearing nose...
Iron Man always had the same problem... by Kid Z	Mar 18th, 2008 03:38:36 PM
...lame villains. Hell they had to rip off Lex Luthor to give him a halfway decent villain and that was like 25 years into his run. I always thought he worked better as a member of the Avengers than as a solo hero.
