Not buying/consuming poo poo you don't like is a really good tip for general life as well.

To the people buying comics that they don't like, can you explain to me why?

I keep buying Hickman's Avengers even though I am nonplussed by most issues, because it feels like it's building to something great. Every time, I think I am going to quit it, I buy one more and there's enough hints that I think it might be worth it buy one more.

There's a five issue mini that are about each of the other five Immortal Weapons and Fat Cobra's is by far the best.

The dog brother one was really good as well.

If somebody's got the vampire-cannon pages available, please post them. That was an awesome storyline.

Well, I've now read a bunch of Dr McNinja. I keep reading his lines in Dr Krieger's voice.

Am I doing it wrong?

Any of the Archer cast would work, since he walks the line between competence and idiocy, just like they do.

Yeah, that was a knightfall type story during the interminable Gruenwald run, which coincidentally ruined Nomad as a character.

uh, Nomad being a dude with a huge 'stache that rides a harley and wants to punch kill a miami mobster whose super power is mega obesity is awesome, thanks.

Seriously though, as much as that part stunk, the John Walker storyline was great.

West Coast Avengers was basically Steve Englehart and John Byrne's retirement home where they wrote and illustrated with their hands in their pants. It's a deeply mediocre superhero comic and not in the fun way, with lots of off-putting stuff like this.

Fun fact: I collected WCA from the first issue and regular avengers from a little after the beginning of the Stern run. I dropped them both when Byrne started writing them. Of course at that age, I just picked stuff up at the local store or wherever, and I didn't follow who was writing. 12 year old me was like "man Avengers sure got crappy."

Wasn't that the 'Armor War' arc where Tony basically went around beating up anyone he so much as thought had power armor based on his design?
I didn't know titanium was flammable, though :stare:

That was such a great arc. At one point he destroys all the guardsmen suits at a super villain prison, leading to a mass escape. Then he gets beat up by a government built powersuit so he builds a new suit that uses technology he stole from various villains while he was destroying them for using his technology.

In the epilogue issue he has a trippy nightmare about all the damage he's done, but he still doesn't recognize his own complicity. It's one my favourite iron man stories, but my copy was washed away in a flood years ago.

Eugene Judd is his civilian name, I believe.

He seems to be short, though. Does that mean the demon Razer is inside him again?

Somewhere along the line he got rid of the demon and got garden variety super-toughness and strength that kept him short, I believe.
