Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

**Delirium** · 2012-05-17 11:06

Don't know if anyone read DC Universe Presents... this week, but it focuses on Vandal Savage and his daughter(not Scandal Savage). He is in jail and some murderer is copying his old ritual sacrifices. It feels a lot like Silence of the Lambs; it's really well written by James Robinson(The Shade, Earth 2).

I like the story and the world is really interesting, but it's definitely weird. I'm probably gonna continue with it when I get more money.

That last Daredevil arc was based on a retarded premise and you know it.
Multiple backstabbing organizations decide to make an alliance for the Reed Richards data drive.
Daredevil tries to steal it.
Daredevil gets out when about to die via pointing out that if they get the drive the rest will kill each other fighting over it and then the victor is killed for starting a war between the cartels for said betrayal which leaves only the option of letting him leave.
NONE of the representatives even THINK about the fact that all they have to do is kill Daredevil and stick to their original plan instead of letting Daredevil get away.
He even just told them exactly why working together after they kill him is the best option.

surprised no one mentioned Ultimates.

Also, I love Dan Slott on ASM.

So Comic-related, heading to Dallas Comic Con in the morning!

Okay, something that just popped into my head that I was wondering, since when can asgardians breathe in space? Referencing Thor and Valkyrie going after the Phoenix.

Celeste · 2012-05-21 02:31

I don't think that subject is worth discussing, however Guardians did wear space suits during an arc in The Mighty Thor.

I'm not sure if Thor did in that story involving Ego the living planet. Meh.

I think it has been implied before that Thor doesn't actually need to breath, being a god and all. Otherwise chalk it up to happy continuity errors that flood any major event.

Since when has he needed to? He eats Applejacks of immortality for breakfast, I think it's fairly reasonable for him to actually benefit from that.

**grantlogan** · 2012-05-21 22:09

Hm, I was just under the impression that Asgardians actually breathed but AvX kinda tossed that idea on it's head.

**Kaslo** · 2012-05-22 13:13

That Captain Marvel is beautiful.

**tyven** · 2012-05-23 11:55

is spidey still gonna be a regular on fantastic four and FF even with Johnny back? I know johnny is his roommate now so i guess it would make sense. I sure hope so.

Just started reading Jennifer Blood today and shit is off the chain. Really over the top, takes refuge in audacity, I am thoroughly entertained so far.
