Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[Delirium]

:D :D :D I hope you guys pick up Deadpool #2 when it comes out!! *so excited* X3

I'm on the fence about it. There are a lot of Marvel now books I want to check out and, despite loving Deadpool, it doesn't appeal to me the same way as Hickman's Avengers, Way Thunderbolts, Gillen's Young Avengers, etc.

Does anything ever explain the ending of Deadpool #63? Because that felt super rushed, ending was like wtf. (

From the previews I've seen, the art is great and getting Geoff Darrow for the covers is just incredible. I really want to read Posehn's writing though.

[Delirium]

I don't have Ghost Rider, just get to use him in boss battles for the 1st chapter. I cannot understand how incompetent Playdom is. After almost a year they cannot get the game to work. Plus, they posted on FB they were gonna give out 50 unstable isos because of all the technical issues then they delete that message.

Yay for the Chrome bug?

What's that?!

[Delirium]

What's that?!

if you use chrome and go to gifts, clicked like 2-3 gifts and hit F5 and keep clicking your mouse. It will refresh and think you only clicked 1-2 but you get credit for more. I recieved like 300 gifts a day a few times

[grantlogan]

Oh snap! I gotta do that.

So unlocking research for the Grief weapon is looking harder than I thought. The Frozen Hell sword is actually in the roulette after you defeat epic boss Dormamu so good luck. I found a great strategy for defeating him. I equipped The Doombringer and Phoenix Flare plus 2 of w/e. Used FF Invisible Woman and P5 Colossus. It's a great tank team. You Force Cage Dormamu and keep sucking his stats with the Doombringer. Fight takes a lot of rounds but it was pretty easy with that set-up.

I actually ran into someone using Ghost Rider in his PVP team already. Apparently he just gold bought his way through all the tasks otherwise there is no way he could have him already with the 8, 24, and 48 hour research tasks. Didn't help him much as his defense was awfully weak.

[Delirium]

I'm still hoping they re add spec ops 1. didnt play till after it and I want Mockingbird. Although I expect a pvp nerf for her before they do it.

M:AA-Beast is out! He looks pretty good, costs 90 cp.

[Delirium]

Can't play, no electricity for 7-10 days.
Read Captain Marvel and New Mutants on my phone. LCS doesn't know when they are getting their stuff.

[Delirium]

Someone at DC hated Strphanie Brown...a lot

Also Ghost Rider event (on Mission 16 of 25 right now, and damn you forcing me to buy Quicksilver and Herc!)

[Vagrant]

Yeah picked up Beast yesterday though I was annoyed at the 90 CP cost when Deadpool is probably going to be the same price next week since it's highly unlikely I'll manage to stay in the top 1000 of the tournament. I'm at task 23 now for Ghost Rider though. Just need to whip up Dormammu again and then do another run through of mission 3 for the third star. Just need to scrape up more iso now.

[Kaslo]

Scott's team seems like villains to me now.

And it appears you called it.

[Vagrant]

And it appears you called it.

I think ultimately there will be a lot of grey in the area when it comes to Scott's team going into the future.

What do you mean someone? The entire editorial staff there HATES to acknowledge she ever existed. Grant Morrison aka the man who gives no fucks and could make a comic with superman fucking a koala if he felt like it couldn't get DC to let her exist. A fan Cosplaying as her asked Grant if he could do something with her and his response was "Sorry, I tried."

[Delirium]

I think Scott Snyder said the same. I find it amusing they are basically telling everyone that grew up late 80s to mid 00s reading DC that their characters aren't good enough for new 52. Ie Cassandra Cain, Wally West, Stephanie Brown, Donna Troy, etc.
Heck, they made Raven a plot device in phantom stranger. :/

[Khajit]

Yeah. Dc's editors are sounding even more petty than the Marvel ones right now. I'll admit Cassandra Cane and Stephanie Brown had some horrid stories set upon them but they still had their moments. Dickbats should have stayed since the continuity didn't change anyway(except for deleting people) and Bruce should have kept wearing that prototype Beyond costume I saw in a comic I glanced at. They completely missed the point of Earth 2 being the place where the heroes actually aged, They gave Phantom stranger an origin when his entire hook is that you don't know his origin. I'm perfectly fine with change but I dont get how so many people in charge(on both ends of the big two) dont understand the draw of the characters or series.


Actually. I might need to change that statement about relative pettiness. I just remembered Marvel decided to rip off Battle Royale and essentially murder off their entire teen line in gruesome ways. Seriously. People clamor to ask if they can see at least a little more (even just cameos) of their favorite teen heroes instead of the same old cap, wolverine etc and they respond with THAT?
In other news Rick Remender wanted to have Brother Voodoo and Storm in uncanny Avengers but Marvel told him they were in too many books to justify him getting to use them. (please note that Brother Voodoo is in zero books right now and Storm is basically going to be on a Murder squad which is the exact opposite of what she'd ever do)

[Kaslo]

I think ultimately there will be a lot of grey in the area when it comes to Scott's team going into the future.

By the way I've been looking for it but can't find it, but what will Scott's team's book? Just "X-Men"?
