also if anyone is bored, Rotten Tomatoes has been doing a thing where they get their staff together and they watch a Marvel movie every other day and reevaluate it. they do everything from Thor to Howard the Duck to Red Sonja and it's pretty interesting

He'll get to the part where Mogo gets drunk and goes on a rampage through the galaxy destroying all the stars and then charges his sun with rolling up trash on earth to make new ones?

*spoilers*

Fearsome Four JUST GOT AWESOME. Man-Thing opened up a dimensional gate and brought the New Fantastic Four to 616. You know, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider and Mr. Fixit. I LOVE this team; they're like a guilty pleasure to me. It's such a dumb "give us money" team but I love it all the same.

--
~Zen

uh oh

oh well

reading Fear Itself Fearsome Four now

wondering why I'm subjecting myself to it

maybe because I like Man-Thing so much

--
~Zen

hey guys what is the latest version of gamefox

i can't find it

~Zen

Blackest Night was really good until DC was like "buy 200 issues of this tie-in and get 10 rings for your store!!" crap

you have no idea how many left-over tie-ins we have at my shop, I swear they fill like seven longboxes. nobody wanted it, they just wanted the rings

--
~Zen

Herc was alright. I never know what the hell is going on in it, though. Pak/Van Lente books tend to confuse me but eventually I figure it out and really enjoy it.

*spoilers*

This issue didn't really go anywhere but establish that Zeus's God roundtable has also decided not to help with Fear Itself, just like Odin. Zeus invites Herc to be a God again but Herc says no as he wishes to help Earth.

if you guys need anything spoiled from the New 52 the day before they come out (is there a release schedule yet?), just let me know

the team on the front:

Bunn

Beredo

*FF Spoilers*

THIS ISSUE WAS AWFUL. Like, you know how a lot of fear itself tie ins are talk talk talk and no action? This one was ALL ACTION. If you've read FF you'd know it's all like talk talk talk, and ironically it's the only Fear Itself tie-in that's all action, and it just doesn't work.

Also, Ben SLAPS Alicia into a pole pretty hard, then Susie gives her some chest compressions (?) and she turns out fine! like nothing seems wrong with her

also Ben seems different from the other chosen. it's just scared ben and those weird mouth slugs on him talk him into doing mean things, which is cool

how appropriate that the first word uttered by Batman after the reboot is "idiots"

I'm waiting to see these New 52 TV commercials that DC said they were doing

see how embarrassing a commercial for comics can get

Marvel: Season One

A graphic novel set that will attempt to apply a modern twist on the origins and base stories that inspired these characters.

Not to be confused with the (dying) Ultimate Universe and a (more ambitious) version of DC's (essentially dumped) Earth One project.

Fantastic Four: Season One is dated for February and X-Men: Season One is dated for March. Daredevil is hinted at, and it's implied that they want to get most of the major characters out of the way next year for the '50th anniversary', so we can expect a Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk, Avengers, Captain America, and Iron Man in the next 24 months as well.

so is this marvel knocking off Year One

is this real

the hell

Fear Itself Deadpool #2 was pretty funny, it got me to chuckle a few times

Deadpool shouldn't have an ongoing, just giant sized specials and event tie-ins. funnier that way.

I own an Amalgam comic! Legend of the Dark Claw #1

Logan Wayne is a REALLY lazy way to combine two names!!

--
~Zen

yeah he's still doing Iron Man. I really haven't been feeling it much, I kept up until he got to the DETROIT STEEL arc which I didn't like so I dropped it. Then i read the Doc Ock arc and it was alright (went on too long) and Tony's fight with the Grey Gargoyle was really entertaining and this one was great.

*spoilers*

Odin takes Tony to a dwarven forge, and he gets drunk with them and makes lots of weapons

the side stories were boring though, stop giving so much page time to Pepper and friends, nobody cares

--
~Zen

Iron Man was really good this week

I missed drunk Tony, and apparently he did too

--
~Zen

*ACTUALLY IMPORTANT IRON MAN SPOILERS*

Odin listens to drunk Tony who is like "heeeeyyyyy odin lemme make sum weapons for my buds and I"

so Odin lets him

yaaaaaaay

*end spoilers*

*more fallout spoilers*

random little side story of Ultimate Rogue in a diner crying about Peter being dead. The hell? Did they have a relationship I missed?

She was wearing fingerless gloves like an idiot then accidentally touched a waitress, who like freaks out. She runs away and flashes back to all the dead Ultimate characters. The are a lot. She then goes to a church and prays.

Kinda weird... What did Rogue have to do with Spider-Man dying again?

--
~Zen

*fallout spoilers, but not really*



LOL all the dead guys chillin' in Valhalla

I like how spider-man can drink mead now that he's dead

--
~Zen

so the entire issue was about how the Avengers lost a fight and

*spoilers*

HID IN A SHACK TIL THE HULK WENT AWAY

and literally the last two panels swing from "awww they are in love" to steve going "AND THEN WE REALIZED WE NEEDED A PLAN"

really, steve

really

*end spoilers*

Avengers Spoilers

Spider-Woman and Hawkeye finally start going out in the most Bendis-y way. Hulk is about to step on both of them and Hawkeye just goes "I love you." Then Protector saves them. Cue awkward moment.

It was kinda sweet. A bit forced though, I believe their relationship was kicked off like... last issue. I think Wolverine has flirted with Spider-Woman way more than Hawkeye. Hasn't Hawkeye never even talked to her? I get that he just got out of his relationship for Bobbi and might be looking for a rebound, but Clint seems like more of a guy who would be single and sleep around a bit to cope rather than pick a random teammate he never even talked to and fall madly in love with her in like a day.

And he is madly in love with her, or so he says in the interviews and stuff. Unless he's pretending or something, but I don't think he would.

DAMMIT I'M OVERTHINKING A COMIC BOOK RELATIONSHIP

what the HELL is that face, Bachalo?

seriously

what is that expression wolverine is trying to make

is it frustration? constipation? "alright, who the hell farted in here?"

even ms. marvel is like "what the hell"

--
~Zen

eh, I never really liked Ultimate Spider-Man much. I think it was more the art than anything, I've always hated it.

But it is different, yeah

Just read Avengers Academy. It had this incredibly ridiculously dumb moment

*spoilers*

Pym is fighting Absorbing Man at giant size, and realizes he can't win because he can't shrink Gods, and he had to get him out of there. So he lifted up an evacuated building and put it on top of two other buildings to make a "door." Then he contacted Jocasta and made it into a dimensional door. A giant dimensional door made of empty skyscrapers.

What the hell

and Creel FELL FOR IT. He fell into the door and then got Titana to "kiss" him (by bumping their hammers together; it looked stupid because creel was still big and titana was still tiny)

also a touching moment of veil saving a little girl's mother, only to have the mom get shot by a red skull walker thing as soon as they were reunited. the hell? that was depressing, thanks comic

--
~Zen

it is really bad, they just got to the action sequence of Protector/Ms. Marvel/Spider-Woman going to Brazil to fight THE HULK (why did steve think sending Spider-Woman was a good idea) and I was so bored by the 500 panels of redundant dialogue that I just don't feel like reading it anymore

not to mention Bachalo's art because meeeeeh when he starts drawing action and stuff. It comes out weird.

--
~Zen

The Avengers issue this month is so Bendis-y. Still sticking with the interview tapes but it could be like 3x shorter if he cut out his Bendis Fluff

Steve Rogers: Spider-Woman is trained in espionage and seduction
Spider-Woman: I'm really good at espionage and seduction.

thanks for that bendis

he's lucky the art is really good. it's that guy Bachalo we were complaining about last topic. The hit or miss guy with the crazy style. He's pretty spot-on here because he can draw some beautiful things if he isn't drawing those chaotic scenes of wtf
