Re: Comic Book Fans....

I liked Legacy quite a bit too, though it felt like they tried to get a lot into one issue.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

Sooooo...

Spoiler

Deadshot is dead.
Harley Quinn is hanging from the end of a chain,possibly dead. Though had Waller activated the bomb she very well may have gotten The Joker too.
Jim Gordon is in the hospital.
Mrs. Gordon is being held hostage.
Alfred is being held hostage and is blind now.
The Joker has killed 31 civilians and 18 cops,knows the real identies of all the bat people and is intent on killing them,except for Batgirl I guess who he proposed to.

...Bats has his work cut out for him.

Indeed, Damn does Snyder know how to construct a line wide event! I've gotta say that with the exception of The Dark Knight (which has been up and down though loved the recent story with Scarecrow) the Bat-Books have never been better.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

So yeah, Amazing Spider-Man

Spoiler

So Doc-Ock is Peter Parker now (switched bodies), and from what it seems this is a permanent change going forward..

This is where I've dropped Spider-Man comics, i'll read reviews for info, but i have no interest if thats the new status quo. Sigh.

That's going to be the new Status Quo?

ARGH I'll still read it out of loyalty but Slott will have to do some very fancy footwork for me to even remotely like this.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

^ he's being evasive as always, but he's said its the start of something new. I'm hoping this ends a different way than i think.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

Picked up the latest Spider-Man to read that story... kinda incredible they're going that direction. In an odd way as someone who's not a regular reader I kinda like the shake-up. Just has me wondering how long before Dr. Strange, Stark, Banner, Doom or some other genius 'fixes' him.

The preview for #700 is pretty touching so far IMO. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...eview&id=14336

Also from that article... #700 is $7.99, and 104 pages. Wow.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

700 is the final issue then Slott starts "Superior Spider-Man"

I'm hoping that in a year they'll go back to calling it Amazing Spider-Man and go back to the regular numbering. I can't believe they'd junk a long time title for the "nu improved woohooo" Marvel then again, they've pretty much ruined all their long time titles that way as well.

At least over at DC they did a hard reboot in terms of starting over but kept the original names of their flagship titles.

Still haven't read my Marvels yet but once I do i'll give my opinion on the latest ASM.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

Deadpool #2 wasn't as good as the first but had its moments.

Would like to read Spider-Man but still can't justify paying $4.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

So I read the latest ASM and all I have to say is "SIGH"

On the other hand I love the set ups for the new Captain America and Hulk series

Re: Comic Book Fans....

I am fully back into comics. M 5yr old son reinvigorated my love for the Marvel/Comic universe since he loves all of the characters and enjoys watching The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man on DisneyXD.

I've been picking up some graphic novels as of late, and have also purchased some comic book grab bags on Ebay.

I enjoyed reading The Hulk:Season One Graphic Novel.

What other graphic novels did you like?

Re: Comic Book Fans....

The Walking Dead. I have volumes 1-4, have only read up to vol#2. I went to our Local 2nd and Charles and picked up a Marvel Knights Captain America & Black Panther "Flags of Our Fathers" for $4.97. Also got a Black Panther The Man Without Fear: Fear Itself.

I am most interested in the new Marvel: Season One's.

Re: Comic Book Fans....

I've read a couple of the Marvel Season Ones and found them to be pretty good updates on the origins of said characters.

If you like Superman or Batman you should try to get the Batman and Superman Earth One books. Superman just recently got a 2nd Earth One GN. I found the lone Batman one to be better though I haven't read the 2nd Superman one yet.

Of course that's not Marvel so um er....

Mostly am a Marvel buff though...
