Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

I couldn't believe they made Electro's skin color invert to make him "black" like the movie.

[Krandor]

At least they didn't completely replace him like with Nick Fury.

[Delirium]

Better than making him the son of Red Skull like in the 90s cartoon.

Fraction also wrote the hell out of Iron Fist with Brubaker. His Defenders run was really fun as well. I also liked his X-Men run. It was far from the best, but I would take it over what is going on now.

[grantlogan]

I admit I was kinda excited to see The Brotherhood from the future return.

[Krandor]

I completely forgot his Iron Fist run, gonna have to whip out the omnibus tomorrow.

I understand why the Marvel comics change to reflect the movies but it's definitely annoying. Comic Electro looks goofy as fuck but it's awesome. Plus movie-electro was so horrible.. it should be forgotten.

But yeah I'm just waiting til Marvel's Agents of SHIELD show up in the books cause that will be AWESOME! They're already redoing Deathlok to be more like the show version.

Are you forreals?

Hopefully Bendis will reveal how Starlord and Thanos came back also but I doubt it!

Supposedly that is all going to be covered but who knows at this point

[grantlogan]

After I posted that I read the article where Bendis said Starlord's part will also be revealed but didn't see a mention of Thanos.

I can't believe people aren't enjoying Bendis's X-Books... I mean the stupidest idea in the world (lets bring the original x-men to the present!) is actually working.

Plus the lulz that was pairing Young Cyclops with X-23.

Everything done with X-23 after Marjorie Liu has been terrible.
I liked Uncanny and ANXM to start, but all the x-books went downhill from battle of the atom.

[Vagrant]

I'm still enjoying ANXM myself but UXM I haven't been caring much for lately.

[Krandor]

Bendis writes the X-Kids alright because it's letting him do what he does best and go all teen angsty. All the other characters fall victim to the Bendis effect of ignoring a characters entire history and characterization and just writing them how he wants.

Idk if what his decision or not, but I still don't understand why Starlord is blonde. It's a prime example of the problems with his writing. Rocket apparently doesn't know anything about Earth in the current series, yet it had been established previously he knew enough about the planet to order a collectors edition DVD of Beaches off EBay.

Went off of the X-Men and into GotG there but fuck it.

[Kaslo]

I will continue to read Uncanny just for Tempus even if it went down the shitcan

[Vagrant]

Yeah Tempus is the only new character in UXM that I find myself giving a crap about so far.

[grantlogan]

Tempus is dumb, don't be one of those weirdos that fall for fictional characters!

[Tajin]

Ultimate spider-man HOLY SHIT MARVEL get your shit together, cmoooooooooooooon

[Delirium]

Original Sin wasn't too bad. Much better first issue of a crossover than most of the previous big events.
I had to look up with Corsair was alive. I wish I just accepted it instead. What a dumb plot device by Bendis. At least I like Rucka's writing. Which reminds me I need to start on Veil.
Iron Fist was pretty fucking badass again.

[Krandor]

What was the explanation for Corsair? I kind of assumed it was all tied into Starlord/Nova/Thanos/every other ridiculous plot device Bendis has used recently.
