I'm a huge Starlin fan so it just felt right. Now to figure out where to put this giant 40 pound thing at. The multi volume one?

Rhyno posted:The multi volume one? Yeah it's a huge box with a bunch of hardcovers in it. Basically all of Gauntlet/War/Crusade plus all the lead ins, tie ins, and aftermath books. And a volume with What Ifs, Thanos Annual, Secret Wars: Infinity Gauntlet, and some other random stuff.

He said he planned on reading it eventually but didn't really have time and wanted it out the way. The thing is huge so I understand that sentiment.

The hardcovers are printed and don't have dust jackets. It's like they were designed from my dreams. I hate dust jackets so much.

Infinity Gauntlet as a story doesn't really grab me but a large format presentation would be so cool for all those cosmic battles. Those spreads could almost be poster-sized. Hm... "Um honey, what's that above our bed?" "Ok, so, there's this part of Infinity Gauntlet when they're like, literally throwing planet after planet at Thanos and Ron Lim is just at the height of his powers here..." Edit: Oh wait. Don't know why I thought it was those huge hardcovers like DC's Absolute editions. Lobok fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Apr 4, 2018 |

Open Marriage Night posted:Crazy the guy sold it so cheap mere weeks before the movie. Well I've known him for a while as I used to work with him so it wasn't like a total stranger out of the blue or something. I was at his house a couple weeks before Christmas when I first saw it sitting in his office and got a look at it. He also wanted to sell me a set just like it for Civil War, which I politely declined of course. hadji murad posted:Ooh pics please! Love the Guantlet! I will when I have it in hand. He lives about 45 minutes away from me and that is not an after work drive I plan on taking during the week. I'll probably pick it up Saturday or Sunday.

It makes me think of the big AvX boxed set I keep seeing behind the counter of a local Half Price Books, which fills me with a strange sense of pity. "Oh, you poor thing, why did they bring you into this world? Who would do this?"

The Question IRL posted:I don't think people were annoyed that the Human Torch likes fast cars. Johnny Storm liking racing and working with his hands is good. Having those be the defining traits of a Black Johnny Storm who needs to learn responsibility, coincidentally the same lesson that Jax, Wally, and motherfuckin’ Pete Ross have all had to learn, repeatedly, is sweaty. Having his dad outright tell him “I need you here to weld together our super secret teleportation project so you’ll stay out of trouble and also you weld good I guess.” is bad.

Marvel Two-In-One continues to deliver, but Emma Frost and Norrin Radd is a fuckin weird couple that feels like it's there just because they didn't have room for another page or two of Johnny and Ben catching up with yet another close friend

Apparently two issues of the new Lockjaw book have come out, but no one seems to be talking about it? Seems like a bad sign. I was hoping to see some reactions before checking it out. It has D-Man. And the Savage Land. Still not a peep?

Gabby's husband being named Taylor didn't even register.

I'm pretty sure she mentions having a crush on a girl in X-Men Red, although I could have just been misreading that scene. I haven't been keeping up on ANW.

I haven't been keeping up on ANW. she's figuring it out. Because Logan and Wade (aww) are Gabby's biological kids, I think it's likely Taylor (eww) is a dude, but I think it was pretty deliberate how in the conversation with Laura neither ever uses "he" or "she", and the name is today considered gender-neutral, so really it could be either way and the Old Laura arc probably will not answer it

Manatee Cannon posted:taylor's like morgan or alex or w/e else. unisex Definitely deliberate. A waitress I see every week is named Taylor, and so is the guy I grew up across the street from. But which one of them married Gabby? I'm not a big fan of future stories. Mostly cause I know it'll never "actually" come to pass in the MU. Reminds me of the I wanna say X-Force panel where Deadpool tells someone he doesn't give a poo poo about their stupid never-gonna-happen future. Still: can't help but wonder if this is the payoff to "oh no, Old Man Logan killed Gabby, no wait he didn't, but he says Gabby's gonna kill Laura!?" from earlier in the series.
