Alex. Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Deadpool 49.1 is hilarious and the fact that the editor recorded music for it was even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vunter Slaush Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Finally gotten round to The New 52 stuff. I was never much of a DC man and only read Batman stuff so I thought it was a pretty good time to start with DC. Quite liking Teen Titans but I've only read the first 2 issues of everything so far.

Alex. Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I see some prelude stuff to AvX in Avengers: X-Sanction. Is this necessary to read to understand Avengers vs X-Men coming up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vunter Slaush Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 ^Knowing Marvel, it probably has nothing to do with it. Just like how the Prelude to Death Of Spider-Man was wildly unrelated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Is Red Hood & The Outlaws any good? Also what are some good Marvel comics to read, ive been reading nothing but DC Comics lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Is Red Hood & The Outlaws any good? Also what are some good Marvel comics to read, ive been reading nothing but DC Comics lately. I haven't heard many good things about Red Hood, Scott Lobdell is writing it and he kind of oversexed all of the female characters and destroyed Starfire's character. I personally haven't read it myself so I can't tell you too much other then what I heard. Some good Marvel books out right now Daredevil - Mark Waid is currently writing this series and he is really knocking it out of the park with every issue that comes out. Marvel has this thing called "Point One" where every so often a series will get a .1 numbered issue where they will catch the reader up on what exactly has been happening. So Daredevil #10.1 is coming out soon and it will fill in the gaps for new readers. Winter Soldier - This series just started last month with #1, all you need to know is it is an espionage story where Bucky Barnes AKA Winter Soldier is presumed dead by most of the Marvel universe but is secretly a Spy for S.H.I.E.L.D (or the Avengers I can't remember) with only a select few knowing he is still alive. Written by Ed Brubaker, the king of espionage stories. Scarlet Spider - If you read the Clone Saga and HATED it, I am in the same boat with you. However, I tried to give myself a reason to dislike this.....but, I can't find one. It is the story of Kaine a failed clone of Peter Parker on his path of redemption after being evil. Kaine is kind of representative of the man Peter would have grown up to be had he not had the guidance of Aunt May and Uncle Ben to mold him into who he is. This is written by Chris Yost and he is handling it pretty well. This concept could have easily fallen flat on it's face and just brought back the bad taste the 90's Spider-Man comics left in everyones mouth. Issue 2 just hit the shelves. Wolverine and the X-Men - This comic seriously put the fun back in the usually dark and serious "X" comics. Written by Jason Aaron who has written Wolvie before and is kind of on the rise in Marvel ATM writing the flagship Hulk book and the upcoming Avengers vs. X-Men. Anyway, it is the story of Wolverine opening his own school for mutants and all of the hi jinks and problems that used to plague Professor X are now being handled by Wolverine who has maybe 1/100 of the patience. This book sounds like a bad cartoon concept but it is a really good read. I won't go into too much detail about these but I also recommend Amazing Spider-Man, The Punisher,Journey into Mystery, Captain America, Uncanny X-Men. I might chime in with some more I may have forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Moon Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've been reading the Red Hood and the Outlaws series, LunchBoX. Personally I don't see anything about it, it's been a good series to me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.N. Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I agree with Lynx. Been reading a little of Mark Waid's Daredevil as well as Wolverine and the X-Men and I enjoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just read Deadpool #50. Shit was hilarious but the fact that they are dragging out this story really pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Anyone pick anything up this week? I myself grabbed Batman #6, Daredevil #9, Winter Soldier #2, Wonder Woman #6. A pretty good week if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncannyOneEye Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Uncanny X-Force is my shit. Just wanted to pop in and say that. The Apocalypse Solution and Dark Angel Saga were fantastic reads, I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here on. Just started reading Ultimate Spiderman, which I'm rather enjoying, and also have Daredevil: Guardian Devil lined up to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Comfort Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Is Red Hood & The Outlaws any good? I think it's alright. A lot of people's criticisms of it were due to Starfire's characterization. If you don't know the characte, nor are you against cheesecake (thought it's been toned down), you shouldn't have a problem. Even then the character in later issues has shown some of the same naive and cheerful nature that the Starfire from the other universe had. Also what are some good Marvel comics to read, ive been reading nothing but DC Comics lately. Journey into Mystery is one of the funnest titles I've read in a while. Uncanny X-Force is my shit. Just wanted to pop in and say that. I have mixed feelings with UXF. The characterization is great (Daredevil is easily the best since the Cable and Deadpool series), but I dislike many of the plots. The current Punisher series is the best I've read, including Garth Ennis' MAX series. Rucka's Punisher is more gritty and noir, with Punisher as more of a force of nature. At times the Punisher is more of a side character with the reader seeing everything through the supporting character's eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Anybody else reading The Huntress mini series from DC? It started off decent and progressively went downhill, it has 1 issue left to go and I feel like it isn't going to improve. The writing from Paul Levitz is just kind of basic and adds no real flare to Huntress as a character. I love Marcus To's artwork though, I am pretty much just hoping she gets her own ongoing with a decent creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viridislament Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I follow pretty much everything DC publishes under thier main line (except bat-family titles). Legion is tops among those (Levitz and Lightle together again, I'm in fanboy heaven) I also read Alpha Flight, Walking Dead, Powers, Gi Joe, Lenore, Gears of War, Conan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cangry Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I read mostly one-shots of limited series. I like to read a lot of Elseworlds publications like Batman: In Darkest Knight and of course Superman: Red Son. I don't really read much of the on-going storylines because I always get lost. I got the Preacher full set the other day. Haven't been able to start reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Moon Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 How good is the Dark Knight comic going? I saw the cover of the new issue shows Bane breaking his back I just bought Scarlett Spider #1, Uncanny XForce 19.1, and Deadpool 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabels Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm really enjoying the Court of Owls arc in Batman right now. How good is the Dark Knight comic going? I saw the cover of the new issue shows Bane breaking his back Oh god. Don't read that garbage. Easily the absolute worst Batman book DC is publishing right now.
