I keep seeing this "AR" in the corner of some panels in certain Marvel books I'm reading, what the hell is that? They're digital versions if it makes a difference. While I'm talking acronyms, who is VC and why do they own all the letterers? Why are just letterers and not other artists under some outside corporate umbrella?

prefect posted:It stands for "augmented reality". I gather that you can do something with the digital versions of the comics where you get extra pages that aren't in the printed books. Ah, Unlimited was touting something like that on the app home page, bit every time I tried to download one of those special comics it crashed my iPad. It shows up in odd titles I'm reading but I don't know how to activate it or even what I'd be activating!

Ok I'm reading Infinity today and I just had my wisdom teeth this morning out so I'm not 100% on my mental game, but I'm confused . The builders are absolutely wrecking the combined fleets of every one ever and reduce them to a fraction of their strength. Then Thor throws a hammer through one dude and suddenly the tide is completely turned. Did I miss something in a tiein or is this just a standard "now we can win because we believe (even though we're down to a tenth of our strength)" comic book deal?

Cyclops has one coming up right?Skwirl posted:Rogue had a mini too. Yeesh, at this point I'm just surprised this is Storm's first. Dazzler, iirc, was, introduced in UXM and they were like, oh please Dazzler you're so cool join our team, and she was like "nope gonna do my own thing because DISCO WILL NEVER DIE". Some one told me the other day that Dazzler was supposed to be a Grace Kelly-type emption controller and then they decided to hop on the disco bandwagon. zoux fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Apr 30, 2014 |

It's like how everybody who ever had a cup of coffee at the Avengers mansion got trained in hand to hand combat by Captain America. Him or Wolverine. You know how you can tell if someone has been trained by Cap or Wolverine? They'll loving tell you.

Unmature posted:The correct answer is all comics are worthless and the ones actually worth money won't get you near what you'd like. So just enjoy reading them. Hang on minute, I got this one here it's the one where Superman dies, that's gotta be worth a pretty penny. Superman don't die every day now, do he?

Senor Candle posted:I'm almost positive they are elseworlds. I've only read the Spider-Man one though. I read the first Wolverine one and it just seemed like any old Wolverine standalone. Beast was there in what looked like his latest mutation form, he teams up with Rogue and Kitty, there wasn't anything that would indicate it was in a different universe.

Here's a Q: So I'm hype as gently caress about the Flash show and it makes me want to read some Flash comics, but DC doesn't have a digital back catalogue service like Marvel's. How come? Are their licensing issues that Marvel doesn't have or something? Seems to me like the quickest way to lose in a market where there are only two competitors is to let the other guy do something you aren't doing.

bobkatt013 posted:well there is comixology and it has a bunch of great Wally comics. Sure, sure, but I'm talking about a subscription service. I know I can go out and buy individual books either physically or digitally but at the rate I read books it gets real expensive real fast. Basically why isn't there DC Unlimited?

bobkatt013 posted:Marvel does it and therefore DC wants nothing to do with it. See also recap pages, a competent trade program, marriages, and more than a handful of books worth reading. Is it literally a spite thing? Because as far as I can tell outside of Batman, Marvel is crushing DC and you'd think someone would go, erm hey, maybe we should see why they are kicking the poo poo out of us. p.s. do I have to buy comics through Comixology on their site and then it will DL through the app or what? zoux fucked around with this message at 19:36 on May 15, 2014 |

Jessica's been all "OMG MY BABY WHERES MY BABY" since Civil War so I'm glad she's not around anymore. I didn't figure Bendis would let such a great character get turned into a one note bore fest but he wrote a bunch of the poo poo so I don't know!

Madkal posted:This one is the funniest in regards to DC loving up. There was media surrounding Northstar getting married and a lot of positive press. DC could have done the same thing. It was pretty much set up for them completely. Instead they suck so hard that they nixed the whole thing due to their stupid policy which ended up biting them in the arse as people thought they were against gay people getting married. Who were they going to have get married? Also, who are the gay DC characters?

They got Squirrel Girl as a nanny and Jessica kind of became a New Avenger for a couple of issues towards the end of the Bendis run. I think that probably anything interesting they were going to do with here got swallowed up by Fear Itself and she never really did anything.

Alien Rope Burn posted:I just reread it, it's mostly Won't Someone Think About The Baby stuff. Well since the Avengers were involved in a huge company wide crossover every 2 months it seems, I don't know how you can expect him to develop storylines when Dark Asgard is crashing into Avengers tower every five minutes. Has Bendis ever commented recently on his writing of Jessica Jones? It's a real disappointment that he took a really cool, interesting female character and turned her into a hysterical mother. Nanny Squirrel girl was cool though.

Ultimate doesn't have the WoK Warriors books for some reason, and I've heard the Skarr stuff is skippable. They've had Kingbreaker 2 & 4 forever but just added 1&3, which is what prompted me to read this stuff.
