Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

Copied from wikipedia

When a time-displaced teenage Jean Grey is kidnapped by the Shi'ar to be placed on trial for her actions as Phoenix, the All-New X-Men and the Guardians of the Galaxy teamed up and traveled through space to save her. It was then that they encountered Corsair, who was alive and well and back in charge of the Starjammers.[12] The time-displaced Cyclops would found out for the first time his father was alive, and decided to remain with the Starjammers.

Well I know he's alive, but your post implied the reason why was given. Marvel is in serious "Superboy Punch" reality atm with all these characters coming back to life with no reason given.

**Delirium** · 2014-05-08 13:55

I didn't mean to imply that, sorry. Just a "we need him alive for this other series" thing.

**Vagrant** · 2014-05-08 14:11

Yeah nothing revealed yet but they have teased in interviews that Vulcan will be showing up again at some point to follow up on that whole dead Dad thing not so dead anymore.

**Kaslo** · 2014-05-08 14:12

Vulcan?!

None of the options explain why the dude is in Morales apt. Or, well, you can make it work but Morales has a better track record with secret identity that Peter.

**Vagrant** · 2014-05-09 13:48

Well that could come back to the shadowy figure that was watching Miles at the Peter celebration they had during the USM 200 issue. Could have been stalking him for a while after that as him and Ganke were the only two there that Peter never actually knew.

Original Sin was pretty good for an event. The groupings of characters are interesting at least and I'll always appreciate more Moon Knight in comics.

With Greg Rucka writing Cyclops it immediately becomes the best cosmic marvel book (not a huge feat lately) and look forward to seeing where it goes.

Anyone reading Alex + Ada? Doesn't get a lot of hype that I know of but I've really enjoyed it so far.

**grantlogan** · 2014-05-14 23:30

Anyone else find the end of Avengers hilarious? Time gem so funnay.

**grantlogan** · 2014-05-15 00:35

And why is Nu52 Future's End so awful.

**Vagrant** · 2014-05-15 13:51

Haven't read it yet aside from the FCBD one but it seemed like they were taking a lot of characters that had titles cancelled already and throwing them into it along with Batman Beyond. Let myself fall behind on DC until they finally finish that damn Forever Evil thing that has already had aftermath stories coming out without ending.

**KoalaTrap** · 2014-05-15 14:53

I'm not reading Future's End but giving Batman Eternal a go, which is so-so so far. I don't why I'm trying to keep up with a weekly book when I have a hard enough time with the monthlies.

Anyone read The Walking Dead 127? Probably the best issue in a while after the lackluster All Out War deal.

Spoiler: show

Also caught up with Avengers Underground and it's pretty good. I loved Arena. Kev Walker's art is so awesome.

**grantlogan** · 2014-05-16 01:27

I really enjoyed Avengers Arena and am enjoying Undercover so far also. On /co/ it is widely reviled. Mainly because Mettle was killed(who cares), Runaways fans are butthurt and they think the characters are all wrong.

So turns out AXis the next X-Men/Avengers crossover is being written by Remender. Red Onslaught front and center on the promo piece surrounded by Doom, Loki(current one), Green Goblin, and what looked like Sabretooth and Carnage. Wasn't a great image so not sure on the last two.

Remender = YESYESYESYES

**Krandor** · 2014-05-19 15:07

Those are definitely Sabertooth and Carnage. If it was any other writer I'd feel like that combination would be a giant shit show, but Remender can totally make that work.

**Delirium** · 2014-05-19 18:08

DC cancelled almost every book that isn't Batman, Superman, or Green Lantern related.

All-Star Western, SuperBoy, Batwing, Birds of Prey, Phantom Stranger, Pandora, and seems like World's Finest all got the axe.

**Krandor** · 2014-05-19 18:14

I kind of enjoyed Worlds Finest, that's unfortunate

Pretty much the only DC book I've been reading since Forever Evil started shitting up the place.

Edit : Apparently it's actually not ending, DC had solicited #26 as the final issue and then said it was an error and the series wasn't being ended.

**Vagrant** · 2014-05-19 18:32

Worlds Finest would have been the most surprising there. Phantom and Pandora too only because it seemed like DC was planning to put a lot more emphasis on their Dark branch of the universe. Two of the other four I'm shocked lasted as long as they did.
