Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[grantlogan]

Rememder is doing an AMA tomorrow.

Just read through the AMA, was pretty boring. Remender is a super talented guy, he has done A LOT of stuff in his career life. What I was really looking for was secrets revealed in some form, but no luck. The worst part was when people asked about the characters he wrote continuing with different writers, he said Bunn and Humphries were good! GROSS

[Kaslo]

He was actually trying to be kind of mysterious on the end of Dimension Z in CA, interested to see where we go.

Anyone crazy excited like I am about Jupiter's Legacy this week?

Iunno, what is it?

[Delirium]

Mark Millar thingy

[grantlogan]

Is that the one with art by Frank Quitely?

[Doombear]

Yes, I am more excited about the Quitely part of it, but overall I have pretty high expectations for the book. That pretty much ensures I am going to be let down =(

[KoalaTrap]

I'm gonna check it out. So much good stuff comes out this week. All four Hickman books too.

Anything by Quitely has my immediate attention. But it's Millar so..who knows what we'll get.

Excitebike for Uncanny Avengers tomorrow... Gotta see what Rememder has next for this Apocalypse storyline!

MAA: Union Jack released for 90 CP and Chapter 12 is out!

[grantlogan]

MAA: 12.6-Dr Doom with all his Doom Bots...worst boss fight ever.

My recommendations for the fight: You HAVE to team-up with crappy Reed Richards so that already slows the fight down considerably. I would say kill off 3 of the Doom-Bots in single fights so you only have to fight 3 in the boss fight. He uses trifurcater, Ring of Doom and Mystical Ensnaring so expect a lot of stuns and other annoying stuff. Magneto is amazing for this fight, so if you have him, use him.

MAA: Speculation at least as there was a leaked image apparently for Spec Ops 9 titled Extremis with a rather female looking iron clad person shadowed out. Looks like Rescue is coming.

Anyone read Sweettooth by Jeff Lemire? I just started to read it from a storytime on /co/, up to issue 18 now. It's an amazing story, very simple and straightforward in it's telling but godamn it punches you in the gut. I highly recommend it.

[KoalaTrap]

I've read the first three trades I think? Yeah it's awesome and I love his art style. I have all the issues just haven't gotten around to finishing.
I'm excited for his new vertigo series (he's doing art again) and it's a scifi love story called Trillium.

I saw that image today. Kinda cool were gonna get all this Iron Man 3 related content. I'm loving Union Jack with all his preemptive attacks.

[Krandor]

I was going to give it one more chance, and it failed horribly.

I don't think I can describe Guardians of the Galaxy in anyway but as complete and total ass. The only bearable portion could be Mcniven's art, but it's drowned out by how horrible the character redesigns are.

[Kaslo]

Uncanny Avenger... damnit Remender you keep being awesome... and a reference to Secret Avengers, well played.

Now I want Remender to write a cosmic title.

[KoalaTrap]

Damn I love East of West. Hickman is such an amazing world builder. Dragotta's art is quickly becoming a favorite of mine as well.

Jupiter's Legacy was a decent first issue. I was more interested in the introduction and the island than the actual legacy part.

Ultimate Spider-Man was not what I was expecting. Poor Miles.
