Re: East of West Thread---WOW!!

So I just re-read the entirety of East of West #1-7. This book is even more awesome than I originally thought. Xiaolian and the Rangers are such awesome characters. I can't remember but I don't think they explained yet how she got her new arms and hands. I wonder how she got them? They have not exp...

Absolutely, positively! :thumb: Fantastic Four / FF Run (graphic novels or a complete Omnibus vol 1,2, only first one is out) I'm a big FF fan and outside of Byrne's run, Hickman's is THE best FF run.

So I'm a huge Hickman fan and buy everything (or at least try) anything he writes. I finally sat down and read the first six issues of this series and was floored! This is such an incredible book!

Re: Are you a Marvel, OR DC fan?

I still prefer Marvel over DC in general, but I loved Geoff Johns Green Lantern run , and the Knightfall and Death of Superman storylines were cool. Too many reboots since then to keep me happy. Johns' GL run was/is fantastic! I'll stick with just Valiant for now, with an occasional side helping of...

Re: Are you a Marvel, OR DC fan?

I grew up a Marvel fan. It wasn't until DC's COIE maxi-series that I went from a casual DC reader to a regular reader. I still like Marvel more with characters like Cap, Thor, DD, Avengers, X-Men and the FF, but I also like Batman, Nightwing, Tim Drake (pre-new 52), Wally West, Jay Garrick, the JSA,...
