Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[Tajin]

wow where the fuck are they going with Ultimates?

[Krandor]

So, if anyone had been following the Battle Scars storyline, 616 Universe Nick Fury is now black and they brought Agent Coulson into the universe too.

WHAT IN THE FUCK? Did Marvel seriously retcon Fury into Ultimate Fury just because of the fucking movie?

[Vagrant]

Technically I don't think you'd call it a retcon. The original Nick Fury is still around also.

[grantlogan]

Yup, I overreacted. Read a story about it and that's not Fury, some other dude.

Still fucking stupid, especially if you admire how it goes from Marcus Johnson that doesn't look anything like Samuel L. Jackson on one page, to him now being Director Nick Fury, bald with a goatee, and looking exactly like Sam Jackson two pages later.

Marvel did a good job with putting the mini reboots into Invincible Iron Man to line with the movies, but this is so incredibly forced it just feels awful.

Also, this week we get to enjoy Bendis dropping a giant steaming turd all over Fraction & Brubaker's Iron Fist run, because apparently researching your characters and understanding their back stories (and seriously, Immortal Iron Fist was not that long ago) is too much work.

I wrote about Marvel making a Black Nick fury in 616 universe in the Avengers movie thread and got trolled, Knew i was gonna be right. Stupid shit there from Marvel.

Also, it was just super filler to the max. Still waiting for Bendis to write some actual AVX that isnt flashbacks.

In better news, Hickman still serving us the best stuff out there. FF was just hilarious and amazing. One of my favorite bits was the little molite making funny poses in the panels. And the last page...I never would've imagined Annihilus taking a shit. Also, Hickman nuked Obama in Ultimates, woop woop!

[Kaslo]

Looking back on X-Men Legacy... I am so ready for them to actually either A) Address the problems with Husk's Powers, B) Give Chamber some real development, or C) Do a romance storyline between Husk and Chamber

Can you tell I'm a GenX fanboy?

Maybe the best next issue teaser ever in Defenders

Spoiler: show

[grantlogan]

I just cannot get into the Defenders. At all. The premise was interesting but I came to the conclusion that I don't like Fraction's writing one bit.

AvX 3 was good but man, JRJR is just dropping the ball. It all seems so rushed. Would've been cool if they had Cho draw it. Or Art Adams ffs! All he does nowadays is draw covers. Venom is looking to become a knock down bloody mess in the Savage Six storyline. Poor Eddie.

Latest Action Comics was great. Leave it to Morrison to create a cohesive universe and strong characters within the confines of a single issue. Highly recommend the issue.

[Delirium]

Few recommendations for comics that came out today: Earth 2, The Spider, X-Men(with FF crossover)

Free Comic Book Day

[Kaslo]

Getting ready to hit my LCBS to pick up at least the Guild comic today.

[tyven]
