Re: Unity .... what does it MEAN?!!

Re: So: Joshua Fireseed...

If Marvel can find a way to get away with Hyperion and the Squadron Supreme, it can't be that difficult to bring back those IPs. It all boils down to is the potential lawsuit vis-a-vis 'Warriors of Plasm'/'Plasmer'

Re: X-O Manowar #13 discussion thread

The fact that 1,500 years past for Aric before he returned to earth via space ship and that he travelled to Loam via space ship, perhaps this is what leads us to the 4001 timeline and the Unity crossover, as Aric ends up in the 4001 future of Earth when he returns to earth (not alone?)

Re: Next 'Harbinger' arc announced!

Ummm, did that synopsis say there were losses to the Renegades, and the surviving members wake up to the best day ever? So, is someone dying in Harby Wars? would they have all of the characters on all of those covers if they had died? It seems like an odd write up, I am guessing the losses all have...

I did think of Obie, not so much the Archies. It was an odd reference, no sure why it fell into quotations.

Re: Bloodshot #11 discussion thread

There were a few rough patches to the art but over-all, I liked it. Not a lot new to this story since I am reading HW but for some reason, I enjoyed the story this time around more than I did in the HW title. The maniacal laughing took me out of the story in HW, but as it was fully explained here, I...

Not much of this issue stood out to me as good, let alone excellent. Not bad, more indifferent. I'm not really a fan of whatever style Nord is going for in these recent issues. I did like that we almost got another shout-out, but the "Feel My Power" wasn't to be. It wasn't a bad issue but ...

Re: Hawkeye (David Aja, Matt Fraction)

It started off strong, it seems to me they are unnecessarily stretching the story arcs out now. Whether or not that has to do with slow art or the fact that it is an unexpected hit and Marvel wants to milk this cow out, I don't know. The tight writing that was in the first arc has started meandering...

Just went through Avengers Arena. Having not been a reader of Marvel for the past 15 years, I am familiar with X-23 and DarkHawk, I have read Avengers Academy and am familiar with Chase. Kid Britton is a concept I understand but otherwise, I really don't know these characters all that well. Therefor...

Re: Harbinger #0 or Shadowman #0

The reason I created this thread is that I consider Harbinger 0 that good. I enjoyed the hell out of Shadowman 0, but still voted for Harby 0. As much as Shadowman humanized Darque's plight for me, Harbinger gave me insight into more than just Harada; it gave me cause to consider if Harada isn't rig...

Not crazy about renaming Bloodshot, but I can see why they might do it. I can also see how in 12 months we might just as well see the titles split into separate entities. I enjoyed the original H.A.R.D Corps books, it had some good character moments and the storytelling didn't really go down hill un...
