Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

MAA: Lot of news during a twitter Q&A yesterday with Apocalypse confirmed as the spec ops 16 villain(no group boss though). SO16 also introduces Iceman as the hero and Four Horsemen alts for four characters that will be limited edition during that spec ops. Iceman is Death, Rogue is Famine, Beast is Pestilence, and X-23 is War. Ms. Marvel gets her Captain Marvel look coming with the mastery reward for chapter 4 of season 2. And breaking their pattern the PVP season 14 reward will not be someone who was affiliated with either X-Force or the Thunderbolts in the past. And level 14 is also coming for heroes sometime in 2014.

Now I just want SO16 to come out next and skip SO15.

I thought he had said there were more alts for the four horsemen, maybe I mis-read it. If only their forums weren't offline for their 'Fan appreciation week'.

So the reason for All-New X-Men has been revealed:

Spoiler: show

**grantlogan** · 2013-12-16 21:01

MAA: Spec Ops is live. For group boss, I cannot stress how good Deadpool is. When you set him up for his lvl 9, he can take off 60% of the Boss' HP.

Apparently Charles Soule is taking over Inhuman from Fraction... Not sure why...

**grantlogan** · 2013-12-16 21:37

Cuz Fraction is BARF! Soule not that great either...

**grantlogan** · 2013-12-16 23:03

MAA: In addition to Hulk and War Machine alts, Sunfire is coming soon.

**Delirium** · 2013-12-18 14:03

All-New X-Men nosedived into the toilet the past few issues. Also, why do writers make X-23 talk so much? Kyle, Yost, and Liu made sure she only said something when she had something to say.

I still love that Cyclops is turned on by a female wolverine:

Today at work I was just thinking over how awful Bendis has been with his X-titles. I was thinking of the questions I would ask him given the chance. 'Are you sad you can't do 3 page spreads instead of 2 pages? Do you wish you could do away with those pesky drawings and just fill panels with word balloons? Why can't every character use yiddish slang?'

**Krandor** · 2013-12-18 19:47

Let's not forget his complete disregard for continuity and constant failure to properly acknowledge various characters power sets.

He would laugh at you while counting all the money Marvel pays him.

The cover for the 4th printing of Sex Criminals #1 is pretty great:

**Kaslo** · 2013-12-19 15:17

By the way, Sumiko finally getting an artist credit for her Chibipool for Deadpool's recap page.

**KoalaTrap** · 2013-12-20 19:57

Awesome for her! Deserves it. (I dont read Deadpool >.<)

MAA: PVP is live, Agent Venom is Ada league reward. Grey Hulk and Original War Machine alts are out also(Hulk alt looks good). Doom's move set and passives are now viewable, you can't have anyone else on your team except Doom when you use him lol.

**grantlogan** · 2013-12-23 11:23

MAA: Helpful tip for taking down group boss fast. Deadpool(with the 2Xbleed E-iso) and Spiral. Just use Spiral's Flashbolt(L2) to make debuffs stay on Arcade plus you don't suffer from added effects of his moves. Set up DP for his L9 and throw in a Probability Field with your Cosmic Cube and you just demolish him in one go.

Someone at Marvel is seriously pining for the return of their favorite superhero MMO. And it isn't the Marvel one.
