Alex. Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 ^The whole saga or just issue #25? I've been contemplating getting Issue #25 for 15$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vunter Slaush Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 ^$15 for one issue seems excessive, even if it is Cap dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 It seems like the standard price for it. It's like 5 years, 60 pages and pivotal moment in Marvel history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The collected edition volume 1. Im becoming a fan of Ed Brubaker. I got my copy of Batman Inc and decided to check out Earth 2 also. Don't really know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Earth 2 was surprisingly really good. I didn't buy it thought because I was afraid of what'll be. I might pick up a copy one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The first issue of Earth 2 wasn't bad. The ending of Batman Inc #1 was pretty shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Batman Inc was certainly well done. Damian can be such as ass at times, asking Bruce why he came back to life haha. The ending isn't real, I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dc-zero-issues-third-army.html Pretty big stuff on slate for DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Comfort Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Which Secret Invasion trade should I buy? Who Do You Trust or The Infiltration? The Avengers EMH series is doing this on TV right now so I'd thought I should read the book. Neither. Who Do You Trust was a promotional thing. It may have one or two one-shots then a small encylopedia with several known Skrulls' bios. Infiltration has the issues of the Skrulls being revealed leading up to Secret Invasion. The only real trades important to Secret Invasion are the trades from the Mighty Avengers and the New Avengers and the Secret Invasion main trade. Earth 2 was surprisingly really good. I didn't buy it thought because I was afraid of what'll be. I might pick up a copy one day. Why? James Robinson is a great writer (minus his JL stuff [which was editorially mandated] and the last part of his Superman stuff [which was rushed]). AvX is aweful. The tieins at least are ok. The GL Annual intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GL Annual intrigues me. Alright, I just said those two because the names seemed like something important. I didn't see the main trade but I'll look again. Bro you serious? Also, some tie-ins conflict with each other too. AvX VS is the only tie-in I like. For those who actually like the story... I saw a few theories saying Hope will bring back Jean. I'm pretty sure everyone expects Jean to come back by the end of the story... Is anyone else excited for Bendis and Spider-Men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Rereading them im feeling the AvX is really rushed. Four issues in and Phoenix is already at the moon. Im still enjoying them. Im two issues back on Green Lantern Corps but im wondering if they are going to use the new Green Lantern to replace Jon Stewart or maybe Hal Jordan never becomes a proper Lantern again and who ever the new Lantern is will replace him. I also hate the fact that im going to have to get Superman Annual to get the info on the new Lantern. EDIT: Apparently there was a picture of him in the Free Comic Book day comic and he looks pretty badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Speaking of the Phoenix Force at the moon, how does everyone breathe there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Comfort Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Bro you serious? Also, some tie-ins conflict with each other too. AvX VS is the only tie-in I like. Yes, the main storyline is shit. It has continuity and characterization thrown out the window. Vs is even worse. Its like bad fanfic. Speaking of the Phoenix Force at the moon, how does everyone breathe there? It is only in a specific place on the Moon, "the Blue Area of the Moon". The Krees or Skrulls artifically created an atmosphere for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't come here." Btw, thanks for that. Never knew Skrull/Kree were at the moon. You guys should use the Marvel AR App on AvX, it's pretty *censored*ing awesome.

Jabels Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 So yeah, Animal Man is the best monthly comic being published right now. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nah, i heard Animal Man is really good. I haven't checked it out because im not a big fan of the art judging purely based on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vunter Slaush Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Read the first few issues of Animal Man after the reboot and thought it was meh plus I hated the art style so I stoppped reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's worse than Buddha killing baby kittens. I think the Dark line in DC has some of the best books of DC. Personally I'd say Demon Knights is the best, but I think Animal Man, Frankenstein, Swamp Thing are really great. I stopped reading I, Vampire after the first couple of issues, though I may catch up with it as I've heard it has became pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vunter Slaush Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Meh, not a fan of any of the Dark line, hell, I'm not really a fan of DC or supernatural stuff so the combination of them turns me off. I've narrowed my 52 to basically just the titles of the more 'mainstream' superheroes however that's been on hold because I've been reading every Amazing Spider-Man since Civil War to now and I've just finished (and it was extremely pleasant).

Alex. Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 ^I tried to get into Spider-Island but I couldn't. I'll be trying to read Ends of The Earth soon, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Comfort Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Spider-Island wasn't good. I'm also not liking Ends of the Earth. Outside of those stories, I think Slott's writing on ASM has been pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vunter Slaush Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I don't know, I'm liking Ends of the Earth, Spider-Island was decent but I didn't like the concept itself but hey, I got a good laugh out of the nude scene. Slott's writing has been extremely solid, he's definitely one of my favourite writers for Spider-Man and I love how Peter is working for Horizon and how he's getting more technological. That's partially why I like Ends of The Earth, half of it is just how awesome his suit is. However, I feel like the Sinister Six can never be used against Spider-Man now that he pretty much knows how to counter them all (especially Sandman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
