Oops, I posted in the old chat thread because I just look at my UCP for my bookmarked threads.

My ideal candidate is Vermin Supreme, but I think I'll go with Clinton in this election.

I don't get your point. She's better than Trump, that's what I said. Her political record is ehh, okayish? Generally, no one running for president is really all that great, though I think Hilary in particular is the most mediocre offered up by the Left even though I'd also vote for her over the last several Republican candidates.

I'm pretty sure the point is that Clinton has a fairly significant amount of political experience over Trump, while Trump is just now getting into politics and wasn't even all that good at what he was doing before the election.

Saying the only thing she has over Trump is just not being him, is also erasing the fact that she does have her good points.

I believe that there should be legislation banning "giant douche and turd sandwich" jokes is my newest political belief that came out of this election.

Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee

I started reading comics in the mid 2000s when I noticed a small rack of comics in this military base grocery store my parents went to. They only really had a few Star Wars comics Dark Horse was publishing, and the more popular DC and Marvel comics, but I recall the first comic I bought was an issue of Star Wars: Empire where some Imperials went to an alien planet and had to desperately survive attacks by the native population.

I just started reading whatever from there, mostly DC and Star Wars, eventually started getting trades around the time The Dark Knight came out, read Watchmen because the trailer looked cool, then stopped sometime in High School. Not too proud to admit but attempts to get back into comics since then were often through piracy, but this year I started buying single issues again, and now comics are fun again.

It was this issue of Star Wars: Empire too



I got it because I thought the cover was cool

Comic shop got shortchanged in half their order so they didn't have half of my pull list this week.

It's mostly Marvel stuff that was missing, and Black Monday Murders and Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. At least they'll have it for me next week.

I already own one. I get a discount at the shop that makes it a lot cheaper to buy physical comics.

Does BSS do any sort of year-end reflection of the year's comics, like user awards or anything? This is the first year I've really followed new comics closely, so I'm a bit interested in knowing how good/bad this year was in comparison, though I'm making a guess that reception is mostly pretty positive.

I get the feeling the MCU focus is nonsense, because it sounds like the same bullshit peoole say about Marvel trying to kill the X-Men comics because of movie licences despite an upcoming relaunch of 7 X-Men related comics and a ba-jillion Deadpool comics

Roth
Jul 9, 2016

I'm going to assume that characters in the MCU will probably have a stronger presence in MvC4, but I don't believe for a second X-Men and Fantastic Four characters are off-limits.

New additions I'd like would be:
Thing
Kamala
Black Panther
Daredevil
Luke Cage
Groot
Star-Lord
Gamora
Scott Lang
America Chavez
Kate Bishop instead of Clint

Phoenix Wright was a character in 3, so I'm sure they could do something with Jessica fairly easily

I think Ultron and Loki would be good villain additions.

And by that I mean comics Ultron and not Joss Whedon character #5

I mainly don't like that he was yet another character whose dialog was mostly one-liners and jokes. I don't mimd the humor as much as some other people with these movies, but Age of Ultron went way too far with it.
