Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[grantlogan]

I would try 2.5 since it's a low lvl mission but that's a guess.

[Vagrant]

Juggernaut should be a mini-boss on 2.5 I think so that should be an early pop. Same for Toad on 3.4.

[Kaslo]

lol I miscounted. I was fighting my 5th as I posted that. Have opened 50 boxes (5x10) and gotten 2 duplicates :/ (Magneto 3/8 )

[grantlogan]

Wow you're flying through it. I'm waiting on the first research.

[Vagrant]

Yeah I'm waiting on the first research currently also. Haven't gotten any of the lockboxes to drop so far from the roulette.

[Krandor]

Ok, I'll stick with it, the first set of stories was very slow and not very good imo.

You definitely need to be in the long haul with Fables. Some of the stories can drag out a bit (The Great Fables crossover uuuuuuuuugh) but the overall story and character development is well worth it. The whole long arc with the war against the Adversary is definitely where the series has peaked so far, but it's stayed consistently readable throughout imo

The Great Fables crossover reminded me, The Jack series is enjoyable also.

MAA: Have a good set up for Dragoness(boss in chapter 1)! She raped my face since I expected her to be a pushover. Utilize EMPs to take out her mechanical wings or else she dodges about every ranged attack.

Oh I'm on the second research, and task 4 of the magneto quests (they give a bunch of boxes)

I wonder if you can do the Epic GGoblin from 7.3 (isn't it 7.3) and have it count for the Spec Ops. Would save me a lot of CP.

[Kaslo]

I'm on that mission now, I'll try it later today.

[AzazaelFenrir]

awesome, looking forward to good news (hopefully)

Picked up Superior Spiderman #2 at lunch. Gotta say it makes the whole SpOck situation worth it.

DC Comics Asks 'WTF' is Happening in April 2013

The DC promotional folks have come up with a new angle to market April's comics. They're calling it "WTF Certified," announcing that all their New 52 issues in that month will "leave readers in a state of shock."


ENLARGE

With the official logo debuting on BuzzFeed, the "WTF Certified" month was teased by seven statements from DC.

• Booster Gold reappears while an entire team disappears

• One team is trapped in a bottle while another is changed completely

• Some heroes change their colors and other change allegiances

• Pandora battles to the death

• A close encounter of The Dark Knight kind

• There's a new, old Creeper and some old New Gods.

• One hero quits, and another hero dies

DC also suggested that fans consider these seven statements while taking a closer look at a few of the comic covers for April. That month will see gatefold covers, so fans are — for now — only able to see one half of the images.

So what does it all mean?

First, let's point out that we're sure DC's "WTF" acronym literally means "what the flip" or "frick" or some other non-offensive phrase. But symbolically, the use of an excitement-generating logo and promotional tease probably means DC is gearing up for an event-full summer, including a few prequel issues for its promised "Trinity War."

Some of us having been saying WTF at DC for awhile now so...

As expected, it does not work

Loved Avengers today. It's cool to see Marvel has another Superman-like character in Hyperion that's sane(since Sentry).

[AzazaelFenrir]

Figured. Lets see if the CP gods will be good to me over the next 25 days.

[Krandor]

So, is this a "new" Hyperion? Seems a bit like the JMS Supreme Power version, but with different storyline details.

[grantlogan]

JMS' Supreme Power was a reboot/retelling of the original Squadron Supreme. They have been around since the 70's I believe? They have always been an alternate dimensional super team that sometimes crossed over into the 616. It looks like their dimension was destroyed by the unknown villain(s) that are going to be featured in the current New Avengers story line.

Some info. on Squadron Supreme: http://marvel.wikia.com/Squadron_Supreme_(Earth-712)

[Delirium]

Punisher: War Zone is so fucking good. It is a shame Marvel screwed over Rucka and ended his run.
Hawkeye, Superior Spider-Man were both really cool as well. Avengers was just ok to me; I feel it will read a lot betteras collected than individual issues.
Mara was enjoyable as well, though I wonder how many issues it will take to set up Mara's full range of powers as she develops them.
I'm really behind on Invincible, but I had to read 100. After reading it, I realized I shouldn't have and should have gotten caught up(Im like at issues 60something).
also, I read X-Treme X-Men at my LCS. Apparently, Alternate reality Wolverine is gay and in a relationship with a gay Hercules. It works so well too.

Luv Hawkeye but hate when aja isn't the artist
