Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[grantlogan]

Can you PM a link to DL?

I should have been more specific I guess. It was story-timed, meaning they posted each page as an image. So I can't PM anything.

oh damn, i caught that thread but didnt want to come across spoiley stuff and now it is gone

the second half of AvX Vs. 6 was better than the other 5 combined and most all of AvX. Especially Squirrel Girl vs Pixie

Avengers Academy was great. Iceman and Hawkeye killed it.

I have to remember to to read Uncanny X-Force last every week. Really blew everything else out of the water. It isn't even close.

I have a bad feeling AOA Nightcrawler isn't going to survive this story arc.

I have a bad feeling AOA Nightcrawler isn't going to survive this story arc.

At first I would have been pissed about that but personally I feel they completely destroyed the character compared to what he was in the X-Calibre series so I really wouldn't mind. Wish they could just give us back the real Nightcrawler but his death was something they really shouldn't undo sadly.

one thing they didn't touch on in AvX 12 that I really wish they had

Spoiler: show

DId the phoenix just creat new mutants or did the old, depowered ones get their powers back?

how good is this fucking arc? i mean seriously, when all is said and done is there a better 35 issues of anything anywhere?

I'd give any 35 issue chunk of Preacher the advantage over this, but easily the best comic going in recent memory.

I think it just repowered the X-gene basically. If I remember all the talk right the gene was still there it was just dormant. The girl Spider-Man was trying to save obviously wasn't a mutant who lost her powers on M-day judging by her age but was probably born with the dormant X-gene that the Phoenix just reactivated.

I dont necessarily disagree but

They had the opportunity to show old characters whose x-gene deactivated/went dormant and didn't. Jubilee, Dani Moonstar, maybe a couple lesser known mutants. Instead they showed a new character which is going to be the focus of an upcoming Wolverine and the X-Men issue.

anyone have a suggestion for a good iphone app where I can enter or scan my books so I know what is in my collection? Pain in the ass seeing back issues that I'm unsure if I have or not and don't want duplicates

[Doombear]

Sadly, I just checked the one I use and it is Android only as far as I can tell. Maybe you will have more luck than I did. It is called Comic Shopper and it is exactly what you need... just on the wrong platform =(

I was looking at CLZ Comics, but it is $10 for some retarded reason. Refuse to pay that for an app.

[Krandor]

If you have a windows pc handy (or could run Wine), Comicrack is far and away the best option.

Tom Brevoort answered one of my questions about AvX as well as other stuff

Spoiler: show

And when you say that we "reversed" that, that's not entirely true, in that the mutants that were depowered as part of M-Day are still, so far as we know, depowered. What's happening now is that new mutants are appearing, which means a wellspring of new characters, and new people who can be heroes, villains, bystanders caught in the middle, and the original purpose of the X-Men and Xavier's dream can kind of re-assert itself again in a way it hasn't had to in seven, eight years now.

Yeah we don't have enough evidence to say one way or another what exactly happened as we only got one small panel showing anything about it. Maybe we'll see what happens with Moonstar when we find out where she ends up in NOW!. Also pertaining to Jubilee what effect would being a vampire have on her powers if they came back?

well reading my above post, it seems like something Marvel doesn't want to talk about just yet. I can't imagine Jubilee being a vampire has any effect on her mutant abilities. Mutants can become vampire too. Plus, a vampire shooting sparkles would be funny as hell.

Yeah missed that there was a new page before I replied. I would guess they'll probably just pick and choose at this point if they want to repower any of the formerly depowered mutants and not just make it a blanket everyone's repowered now situation going by the interview. And so long as Jubilee doesn't sparkle in the sunlight her being a firecracking vampire is ok with me.
