Just read Avengers vs X-Men #0 & #1. Captain America has not learned from Civil War apparently and as usual the Mutants kept getting shafted.

I've been on a bit of a Lantern binge as of late. Loving Green Lantern: New Guardians. I really love the Blue Lantern Corps, and I wish they had they're own series all about them spreading hope through out the Galaxy. I think it'd have been a better idea than the Red Lantern series which has turned into a major letdown for me.

Only good thing to come out of it is Beelze "That Ass" Whatthefuckeverherlastnameis. I swear, it's like they take time to craft her ass when they draw her. I love the emotional spectrum, but I find that I've been spending most of my time thinking about what corps characters from other series would be in. Like, I swear Naruto, and Kamina would be Blue Lanterns. Simon would make an amazing Green Lantern and whatnot.

But fuck the Indigo Tripe. What with their nik nok ooga booga language.

Haven't read that yet, but I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Scott is not really that much better. In fact, he is quite worse.

Scott: Okay people, Hope is the Phoenix. This is totally going to save all mutants.

Yep, no way this is going backfire. At all.

It's a mutant matter.

Also Scott is right that mutants are an endangered species and that Captain Asshole only backed them when they needed mutant muscle.

Here's what I think what Scott will think what will happen to Hope. Hope can mimic mutant powers that are near her. With phoenix, she gets a god-like boost. Maybe with her nearby she can reactivate a depowered mutant and get the mutant population back up.

But Cap's not going to let that happen with the Avengers version of Gitmo in Nate's future.

Also, doesn't Utopia count as foreign soil?

Fuck the Avengers. Heres hoping Steve takes bad guy lessons from his pal Tony.

Eh, it is in no way just a mutant matter.

You're dealing with an entity that can destroy worlds.

That makes it a world matter.

I don't agree with how Cap dealt with it, but he has a right to be worried about, you know, the freaking Phoenix.

Quick recommendation for a comic that doesn't get much love- The Shade miniseries by James Robinson. Halfway through and it's been brilliant thus far.

I'm gonna give a reccomendation for an individual comic, one I picked up a cpouple of years ago now, but still enjoy reading. The Invincible Iron Man #7, also known byt its story title as "Clifton Pollard" The Five Nightmares Epilouge.

Timeline is post Civil War and Post One More Day, but before Dark Reign. The comic doesn't promise anything special aside from the fact that its a Spider-Man crossover.

The story has Peter Parker, now part of Newspaper company Frontline, going with the Managing Editor Ben Ulrich to cover previous events that resulted in Stark Tower being blown up. It turns into a nice tale, with Spider-Man at first showing up to stop accidents on the scene, despite the fact that, as a rather frustrated Tony Stark points out, he's not registered, so he's there illegally, and it ends up, due to Spidey's insistence, turning into a fun throw back to the whimsey crossovers. What cements it are the art (which is beautiful in my opinion), the way the characters act (Peter is clearly worried about Tony, and Tony shows that despite his warnings, he doesn't want to toss Spider-Man in for not registering. Its just really well constructed. I don't have any of the previous issues in the story arc, I don't care, I got this over a year and a half ago now, and I still love it.

If it's going to hit Earth, maybe hopefully it will thin out the population of humanity including friends of humanity and purity along with Maria Hill, the Avengers and Maria Sharpe.

For the sake of the many, the sacrifices of the few. :no:

I remember that one. Yeah I liked it. Dropped Invincible Iron Man soon afterwards though. It got a bit too slow for my tastes.

My opinion is that you really shouldn't do a 12 issue story arc if you're running a monthly comic.

Haven't picked up an issue since. I just read the story in the nearby deli and bought it. half a year later, because of the infuriating 1-2 month wait Australians get and the fact I was paying double what the prices was in American I dropped buying comics altogether sadly.

Just picked up Avenging Spiderman #6 and I have a question.

Why does Frank Castle now look like Snake from Metal Gear Solid?
 
#38
Oh, the Spidey/Daredevil/Punisher crossover's started? I'm pretty behind on my Marvel comics...

Well, Frank hurt his eye when he killed the Vulture, as I recall he got a claw just under it, and over the time he was lying low, waiting for his injuries to start healing up he ended up growing a beard.

New Ultimates is really cool. Essentially, Reed Richards decided not to fuck around anymore and is completely curbstomping the world with SCIENCE.

Discovered Night of the Owls through the latest Red Hood and the Outlaws. Nice interaction between Jason and Tim, and nice splashpage of the Batfamily on Batman #8. Anyone heard anything else about that Robins series rumor?
 
#41
Turned out to be false.

Although there's going to be a story arc with all the Robins in Batman & Robin after the Night of the Owls crossover issue.

Ultimate Comics again proves to be kicking all sorts of ass. Spoilers below.

Ultimate Zorn goes apeshit because it turns out his army of the Eternals turn out useless against Reed Richard's Children. He rips off his helmet and rips open a singularity. Meanwhile America's just launched every single nuke in its arsenal towards the City. Despite the fact that the City converted the energy of a single nuke into power for itself, it finds itself unable to take all the nukes and takes structural damage.

Reed's response is to send in a suicide bomber into the Capitol building while all of Congress along with the President are meeting. The suicide bomber rips open a canister of antimatter and wipes out D.C.

God damn.

Well, I just watched the animated adaptions of Marvel's Planet Hulk and Doctor Strange's origin story. I haven't read the Planet Hulk comic, and I don't know much about Doctor Strange, but I thought the two films were pretty good, regardless of how faithful they may or may not be to the original source.

Just read some tie ins to avengers vs x-men as well as avx #2 & #3.

LoL @ Scott Summers acting like an angry black man and calling cap america a facist.

Tony Starks also called Steve out on his shenadigans.

Bromance for Iron Fist and Luke Cage seens to be headed south due to Danny about to switch sides.

Well, just finished reading the most recent Green Lantern comics where we learn Abin Sur helped create the Indigo Tribe.....and that the tribe was formed from the worst criminals from across the galaxy. He placed Indigo rings on them, FORCING them to feel remorse for all they had done. A power built to fight an evil that would rise after 'The Darkest Night', The Guardians of The Universe. Abin Sur's plan was to use his army of reformed convicts to put Indigo rings on all the Guaridans, halting their evil....but Abin sur is dead and his partner decide to end the prject.

Which freed all the Indigo Lanterns from enforced compassion.

So....imagine breaking open the galactic version of Blackgate Prison, Strykers Island, The Cube and Arkham Asylum all at once....

I ask that all of you forgive my word choice but it seemed appropriate considering the circumstances.

'Well Shit.'

Is there a Marvel run, any run, where somebody just completely fucks Richards the hell up? Because after watching him get somebody to suicide bomb DC and basically kill the entire government in one shot, I want to see some payback. He's acting just like Stark was during Civil War, only this is actually in-character for him, while Stark was just being written as a doucebag due to writer bitchfights behind the scenes.

Seriously, I want the Hulk to use him for chewing gum or something.

Well, the obvious solution is to reveal that this is an evil government clone that thinks he'd the real Reed and he'll be surprised plotted by the original.
