February 8, 2013 5:51 pm I agree with you a 100%. The scene with Mystique and Scott was an amazing read. I'm interested to see where here story leads to.
February 8, 2013 5:30 pm I agree, it's been awhile since a comic made me laugh while I'm reading it, but All-New X-men has been doing it for me.
February 8, 2013 12:36 pm Great Article. I rarely post on anything because my opinion is just that: "my opinion". There are things that I love that others hate and things I hate that others love. If someone asks my opinion, then I'll give it. To me, some of these ranters that you talked about in the article rant and rave before the book even comes out. Before passing judgement on anything, they should give it a chance. I guess we all go through this faze. I'll never forget, when Bendis killed off Hawkeye, I swore off of all avengers after that. It wasn't till I found out that he was brought back that I tried it again. Guess what, because I was childish about it, I missed out on a lot of good stories. Had to get them all in trades. That was when I realized that I should give things a chance and not be a bratty kid about it. Sometimes it works out and other times it doesn't.
February 6, 2013 5:01 pm Hey guys, keep in mind that this may not be Tony at all but an illegitimate child/clone. Lets face it, Tony spreads the DNA around A LOT. Just food for thought :)
February 4, 2013 3:54 pm @USPUNK, I just wanted to chime in that even though marvel is charging 3.99, most of those books come w/ digital download. DC charges 4.99 for their combo packs. With that said, I've been a fan of the big 2 for 30 years. There are times when both companies just plain did dumb things. I think my issue with DC right now is that they can't have consistency w/ their titles the way they are playing revolving creators. Example, the books that have been most critically acclaimed (Batman, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, and yes, even Aquaman) all have 1 thing in common (besides Scott Snyder on Bats and Swampy), they have had the same creative staff since launch (writers at any rate) and I think that's the key. Good stories are not being told because the writers at DC can't do any long term planning because they don't know if they will still be writing their books day to day. That's one thing Marvel has done right. They are letting the writers write and plan things out. Are they perfect, no, but then no one is. I'm not trying to dump on you man, so don't take this as that. These are just my opinions. I totally get what Jim is saying and because of all the public dirty laundrey going on w/ DC, they are the topic of discussion. They should take a serious look at themselves because they really are starting to lose steam with the new 52. I sampled all the number 1's to see what was up and I started out keeping more than half of them for the longest time. Between cancellations of titles I liked and the inconsistency of creators and storytelling, I'm down to like 10 titles from them now. That's the lowest it's ever been from DC for me. I'm finding I'm enjoying more Marvel, Image, IDW, and Dark Horse than DC and it breaks my heart because I used to be such a HUGE DC fan. I guess we all grow up in our tastes after awhile.
February 4, 2013 3:38 pm Wow, I did the same thing w/ the Transformers...I believe it was issue 8. Man that brings me back. I must have been about 9 or so when that came out.
September 12, 2012 12:24 pm Man, you guys are making me feel like an old fogey. I think I'm the only one that absolutely refuses to buy digital comics. I think it's great for the people that like it, but I'm too old school and stuck in my ways. If I read something I want to hold it in my hands, turn the pages, smell the "old" smell on comics that are decades older than me. Maybe it's because of how poor my eye sight is that I just won't embrace digitial (I'm the same way with texting. I refuse to read them or write them. If it's important enough to say to me, then pick up the phone and call me. Again, I'm definately not from this generation). I always seem to catch bad glares on screens if I try to read something, but reading physical books don't bother me. Maybe I'll say something to the eye doc and see if something can be done. If so, then maybe I will join this generation of digital media.
August 26, 2012 5:25 pm My god, I just spit my coffee out :) I saw the dc short this very morning with Vibe.
July 16, 2012 8:30 pm A big part of me wants to see this, but 5 years has not been enough to wash that horrible Spiderman 3 taste out of my mouth. I just can't bring myself to see this at the theatre because of Rami's last outing. I will definately get it on blue ray when it comes out. Looking forward to this weekend though. Ready to get my Batman on.
