OFFICIAL COMIC BOOK THREAD

Im reading avengers vs xmen as a starting point like some recommended...but where do I begin with spiderman?

It's ending so just for you to enjoy the ride until then start with ASM 698. So you can at least get the last arc and what leads up to Superior Spider-Man. Once ASM is done though (end of the year) I'd have to say at least get Slott's entire run (over 100 issues so I'm sure it'll come in omnibus form) on ASM or just his Big Time run (don't know the exact issue # it started off hand).

I think #648. That's where I started with ASM. It's been a fun ride.

Agreed. I just got back into buying comics and Dan Slott's run has kept me hooked since his first issue of Big Time.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

That's a whole lot of variants bruh

 

[infam0usp]

Avi check

 

[Master Zik]

To me that variant crap is extremely whack. It was one thing with Marvel's 20 variants for UA since those were actually different covers but this right here is just DC photo shopping in 50+ different flags. LAME

 

[infam0usp]

^ DC is always lazy with the variants

I only bought ONE this entire year from them, Batman Detective Comics #0

 

[upstate2point0]

Just got ahold of the first 5, I'll knock them out tonight

lemme know what you think. i'm mixed atm.

 

[Fozz]

Picked up Vol. 1 of Mark Waid's Daredevil, since I heard so many good reviews about it. Also, just finished Vol. 1 of Batman & Robin: Born to Kill. Great stuff.

Alright, so Revival is a "rural noir [written] by Tim Seeley [with artwork done by] Mike Norton" and published by Image Comics that has a new take on the undead genre.

Tim Seeley is known for Hack/Slash, Witchblade, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, G.I. Joe vs. Transformers and New Exiles.
Mike Norton is know for his work on Battle Pug, It Girl and the Atomics, Runaways and Gravity.

Issue 1 is pretty good
Issues 2 and 3 are pretty wild
Issue 5 has me interested enough to want to keep reading. I'm sold.

The collection of the first 5 issues "You're Among Friends" will release on 12/12/12

Recently knocked out Uncanny X-Force Issues #001 to #034 I really enjoyed the artwork and this was actually the first time I was introduced to a few of the characters. Deadpool and Wolverine have always been one of my favorites and Fantomex is that dude

I also really liked the artwork in the 2 Issue mini-series of Tron - Betrayal (The movie still has one of the best OSTs)

Avi check

dope

 

[prostaffer]

Will definitely check out uncanny x-force.

Psylocke needs to be in a movie ASAP. Wolverine and Deadpool are my guys as well as Arch. Very cool.

This other guy now....any background you can give to me that is spoiler friendly?

 

[infam0usp]

^ his name is Fantomex and he's 110% BAMF

He can create extremely realistic illusions and has 3 brains inside of his body. That mask he wears is special because it has telepathy-blocking technology on it which allows his mind to remain un-readable. He also posses enhanced strength, speed, agility, dexterity, reflexes/reactions, coordination, balance, endurance, and has even mentioned having a healing factor like Wolverine & Deadpool. Because of his 3 brains & external nervous system (E.V.A.), he can enter a trance state and perform crucial tasks such as performing surgery on himself. Lastly, he's a superb marksman with his pistols. They fire special bullets covered in sentient mutant skin that always hit their target.

 

[upstate2point0]

yeah, that's about what I was thinking too David. Will be picking up the next one as well.
