Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[Krandor]

Yeah I don't think you need much of a lead in. It's spilling into other titles but the main story is self contained and doesn't need much prior reading if you already know who the main character are.

I'd read Infinity and Hickman's Avengers stuff regardless though, cause you know, Hickman

[KoalaTrap]

Agreed about Infinity and Hickman's Avengers. It's not as good as his FF stuff, but it's still pretty good (especially New Avengers and Infinity).
I've pretty much stopped reading all the X-Men books cept for Wolverine and the X-Men and the Greg Rucka Cyclops book.

I'm two behind on Original Sin, but it seems not horrible, and doesn't really need any prior reading.

[tyven]

Catching up on errything Hickman right now. Then remender. Then I shall original sin

[Kaslo]

Effectively, if you know who the Watcher is you should be fine for Original Sin lol

[grantlogan]

If you want to know about Doctor Midas and Exterminatrix, the villains that teamed up with the Orb, read Marvel Boy mini series by Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones.

finally finished infinity and the various tie ins. i know im retarded but are the incursions gonna stop? did they explain that at all? plz help

[Krandor]

It's still ongoing, that story is set to come to head next year. Infinity was basically a drop in the ocean for the overall story arc Hickman is still building.

[grantlogan]

In retrospect. Infinity was basically the Builders trying to stop the destruction of the universe via incursion by destroying the Earth. Soon Thanos, Proxima Midnight and Corvus will be free!

Kang is all Kang and it is glorious.

[Krandor]

Man UA 21 was serious business, Remender never lets down with continually ramping up the tension.

NYCC queue system for tickets this year denied me 3 day or Saturday tickets. Sadface.

[tyven]

glad to see what a hot ticket nycc has become these last few years. i havent been since 2011 but i remember i could get tickets hella easy for the few years i went

[Delirium]

It has outgrown the Javits center tbh. It was such a clusterfuck of people last year.

[Vagrant]

Problem is not that many options in NYC for it that would be bigger unless they try and book the Barclays Center for it but not sure how that would work.

[tyven]

It has outgrown the Javits center tbh. It was such a clusterfuck of people last year.

i remember the last time i went i couldnt comfortably move about the expo floor. you just have to move with the foot traffic

[Krandor]

Same thing happens at SDCC, have to figure how the traffic is flowing to get where you want.

[tyven]

yea but sdcc seems to have such better shit. at least panels wise. tho i guess you gotta camp out to get to any of the good ones. i've never been able to get tickets LOL

[Krandor]

I get professional passes thru a friend @ NCsoft. Hall H panels are awesome but you literally have to camp out all day for that shit and I ain't got that kind of time since SDCC is the only time I hit San Diego now and I want to do some other stuff.

One of Coworkers is from San Diego and attends every year, he usually sleeps overnight outside of the convention center on Friday so he can be sure to get into all the big Saturday panels.

New Avengers: I was surprised to see Strange got denied in his bid for more power and had to go a different route. I wonder if the Black Priests did the same thing. And who did he make a deal with? Dormamu?

[tyven]

just read new avengers. sooooooooooooo good. its like hickman never stopped writing f4/ff and just swapped characters. He really writes an underpowered Hulk tho
