Re: What comics are you reading now?

Besides reading some Valiant this week, I managed to finish Marvel's Civil War TPB. While I didn't have too much issue with the general concept, I thought they completely mis-characterized Capt America and Iron Man. I am glad that so many heroes in the story doubted what they were doing, pro or con ...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

Bought and read Hawkeye #1. All my cool comic friends said it was awesome, as did many reviews online. Me? I thought it quick, boring and didn't go anywhere. I wasn't expecting a Thanos battle or mockingbird appearance, but Russian thugs and dog saving? I felt like i was reading the writer's crib no...

Re: The Loss of Solar: Revamp or Original Character?

Agreed as well. Although I think I would be happy with a future story even with Magnus and Rai. Well maybe we need Rai. ;)

I'm sure they can come up with better ideas than some of these: HARD Corps How dare you? :mad: I happen to love the concept of HARD Corps, one power at a time controlled by a dispatcher-type person. I am not sure about the execution of the book in VH1. But the concept was fresh and has not been don...

Re: Nemesis 2

Wow, thats pretty heavy. Probably one of the bloodiest comics I ever heard of. I guess Miller's involved so I shouldn't be surprised.

So whats the sequel going to be about?

thanks

Re: What comics are you reading now?

Captain Marvel #1 Carol Danvers, the former Ms. Marvel, reluctantly takes the name of the still dead Kree super-hero and gets a new costume (and maybe some new powers). The artwork is nice but the story doesn't explain why she changed her costume. This feels like Marvel's attempt to do a Batwoman l...

Re: What's better than and what's not better than...

I think VEI could do a pretty awesome job with sci-fi/space opera like Psi-Lords. Of course I want it to be resurrected. I just think it had a greater potential than was actually ever used. Is Mike Leeke still doing comics? But yes yes, Geomancer the Kid and HARD Corps are pretty cool, definitely br...

Re: Marvel "Cosmic" Stories

SJS4, did you ever get the Rune/Silver Surfer book? I have it, I got it for .25 cents somewhere. Actually a decent 1/2 read by the late great John Buscema. The other 1/2 is more the Rune story and its terrible.

Re: I've gone full digital with Comixology, but ...

How does Comixology work? Do you get to actually download the books and then you need a Comixology viewer to read them? Or do you have a virtual book shelf on the Comixology website?

Re: Secret Weapons as Eventual 8th Title?

While I agree SW was a lame concept/lame, I am not a big fan of Future Force either.

I guess V1 wasn't too great in the team book department. Fresh start is in order.

That means that somewhere out there is a civilization that did create it. Possibilities abound.
Could it be the Psi-Lords from the future?
