Deadpool posted:A better question about Venom in Guardians of the Galaxy is when exactly did that happen? Did I miss an issue somewhere along the way like a special or something? Also where did Angela go? Venom joins up in the FCBD issue. I guess they figured it didn't matter to them at this hit a week & a half early.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:It's also being written by Charles Soule who, on top of trying to take over Marvel and DC by writing every single book he can, is a successful and practicing lawyer. I asked him how he found the time to do all of this stuff when I saw him at C2E2 and he simply said "I have an army of interns. An army." and went back to signing books.

Chortles posted:And it has the added advantage that the writer doesn't need to create stand-in characters since the title is a Marvel IP, while the runaway sales success to date has meant that the writer was allowed to use even more Earth-616 characters in the future... even if one of the first (besides Kamala's "personal Marvel Trinity", although only Carol Danvers has had plot relevance for the most part) is going to be Wolverine, and by runaway success I mean look at all these covers just for the first three issues: Only four of those are reprints, the rest are variant covers. All Marvel comics get variant covers these days.

It's not building to anything. Bendis read the DnA stuff and said "I want to do that." And since he's the golden boy and there's a film coming he got to do it. I like the guy and the bulk of his work but he's notorious for this, he did it with the Hood, the Sentry and now he's doing it with the Guardians. I just don't think there'd be a current GotG comic if not for the film.

Waterhaul posted:But now they've announced that we're going to have at least three Guardians ongoing's come September and a million tie-ins and one shots all following Bendis' lead. Uh-huh. I'm sure it will be all very ground-breaking. A Rocket Raccoon ongoing is pretty much the worst idea ever.

irlZaphod posted:Yeah, for the past few years they've been putting out some fantastic, lower-profile books. If you're liking X-Force, you should check out Spurrier's X-Men: Legacy book which concluded just prior to his X-Force starting. They're not related at all, but it was a great book. Ms. Marvel is really a joy to read, though. And X-Club, possibly the best X-Men limited series in the last decade.

srypher posted:I'm just getting into reading comics again and holy poo poo is Marvel putting out some excellent stuff. All-New Ghost Rider, X-Force, Ms. Marvel - there's an unreal amount of great, ongoing series to read. A lot of posters here like to poo poo on everything but we're really in a wonderful spot right now. There's far fewer "bad" comics coming out of Marvel these days than "good." Sure those terms are subjective but the overwhelming opinion is that Marvel loving rocks these days.

I had a couple in the other night with a 10 year old daughter and they were looking for strong female heroes but she only had $5 to spend. I gave her Ms Marvel #1, She-Hulk #1 and Captain Marvel #1 (all reprints) and called it even on the $5. Did I make money? Hell no. Did that kids smile make my day? Goddamned right it did.

I could have just put some old Byrne She-Hulks in her hands but I'd much rather she got some quality books. I'm trying to work up a coupon system or a buyer's club for young readers so I can always give them good deals.

Rirse posted:Was Spider-Man Chapter 1 the one where it was only 99 cents for each issue? I remember getting the first issue when I was a kid since I was happy to get a comic for so cheap, but I honestly don't remember the issue. That was the often fantastic Untold Tales of Spider-man by Kurt Busiek.

He started slamming USM within 3 months of it's release. One of his favorite things to point out is that despite USM being a critical darling, Chapter One outsold it massively. And if you point out that you can buy a complete set of Chapter One for $3 and USM #1 runs $200+ he bans you from his forum.

fozzy fosbourne posted:Why doesn't Tony hook Cap up with a War Machine suit? Wouldn't Captain America be like the best drat Iron Man, shooting tactical smoke grenades and flash bangs all over the place and up in the air orchestrating the battle? I get why they probably would never do this in the main universe, but they should have at least done it in Ultimates for a while. What a great idea!

The serum was breaking down in his system and he was losing the use of his body slowly. First he used this weird suit thing  He put on the other suit when his body started failing. Then when he was at death's door the Red Skull had him kidnapped and gave him a complete blood transfusion (the Skull was living in a cloned body of Steve Rogers).

Schneider Heim posted:Are that pouches in front of his chest painted with the sides of the star? The Skull needed him for his plan to regain the Cosmic Cube. Hitler's "soul" was inhabiting the cube and the Skull needed Cap to kill him so he could use the Cube's full powers. It's Mark Waid's first Captain America story and it's awesome.
