    Re: Comic Book Fans....

    I always give the big events at least a shot but once I feel like it's not for me I just strip away the extraneous stuff and read the core books. It's going to be interesting to see how Secret Wars and Convergence plays out. Looking at the back of the current DC books the Convergence event seems more up my alley but we shall see.

      I'm not expecting to pick up much of Convergence, but hoping there's a good jumping back on point for Green Lantern. It'd gotten so muddled that I gave up on it and that was pretty much the last DC book I was buying.

          An attempt to draw in a younger audience while giving us old phogies Iron Man and Cap??

          I think a team like this means that the direction is to make this book a tween one and it will probably fall flat for an adult audience.

          Edit: It does have Mahmud Asrar on it though....his art is top notch.

            If it's going to be a tweener book hopefully the actual content isn't too cosmic. (read: too dense for me) I'm not too keen on a book that has 3 teen characters but I do like Miles Morales and Kamala Khan so hopefully they're more prominent than Nova.

              Some are wondering if it will be Pepper as Iron Man. Wouldn't be surprised if Secret Wars kills off our Superior Iron man and we get a non-inverted one back in the post-SW Marvel U.

                  Convergence just became a 'must buy' for me. Wasn't that interested in it until that video, thanks for sharing.

                  OAN, I've been doing a lot of Batman reading. I've knocked out Batman Inc today. I'm about halfway through Batman but stopped after #33 so I can catch up on Eternal. About halfway through that and I should be on #34 of that by tomorrow so I can continue to catch up with Batman.

                  Trying to stay in order with Batman is so tough. I haven't even started Arkham Knight yet as that will wait until after I beat the Arkham City video game.

                  Finally, I picked up a signed copy of Marvel's Star Wars #1 signed by artist J.Cassaday. My first signed book so I'm super possessive of that even if its not worth much haha.

                    Anybody reading Spider-Gwen? Kind of digging how in this alt universe Frank Castle is a bristle pit-bull of a cop and Daredevil is a villain and the King Pens lawyer....

                      Sounds interesting. Still can't fully mentally commit to Marvel though. I hope to break that barrier one day.

                      I've been chilling with reading comics for the last few days as I'm going to be gone for a month and need some material to read. Probably will do my pull this week, though the only thing I'm tracking is Convergence. How do you guys like it so far?

                        I like it I guess, feels like a big injustice-style false-reality storyline. Would make for a good game.

                            So is anyone enjoying convergence? It hasn't really produced anything compelling yet in my opinion.

                              The spinoff material doesn't appeal to me AT ALL although the main story is compelling enough. So count me as completely underwhelmed.

                                Every spinoff has been a setup to what appears to be a big battle to come in the next issue, but each spinoff is only a 2 issue series so its going to be interesting to see how/if it wraps up after the 2nd issue in each. The only spinoff I really enjoyed was the Titans issue that had a big cliffhanger with Arsenal, Starfire, and Donna Troy.
