hmmm i wonder if Tony Stark fitted Spidey's new suit with Repulsor Rays and a Photon Cannon

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Wala naman.. hehehe!!! :cool:

Saw the new spidey costume. it is so... butt-ugly. the black costume was definitely better than this one.

 

I also recentl;y read Jim Lee's run on Superman... that was one of the most... confusing non-story I've ever read. I hated the Azzarello's storytelling style. Everybody keeps butting in and continuing a phrase uttered by a different character... once or twice it's ok... but they kept doing it for all 12 issues. It's annoying. And Jim Lee's work here isn't up to standards...

Just to keep you guys updated.. Marvel's Civil War is out this week.. :thumbsupsmiley: Gastos na naman!!! :hypocritesmiley:

DC's 52 Weeks has started.. The comic book series that would span 1 year (52 weeks).. The basic concept: A world without Supes, Bats, and Wonder Woman.. Should be a nice read.. hopefully, the writers don't f#&k this one up.. :boo:

[m@rky]

just finished reading marvel's CIVIL WAR and I must say I cant wait for issue no. 2... :cool:

I've just finished reading all of the Infinite Crisis Saga (from prelude up to the mini series). Whew! Nice build up. Pretty weak ending, though. I didn't like the fact that Flash died (again).

 

Also am wary how batman will end up in future storylines now that he's supposed to 'mellow down' after the crisis.

 

Also read the 1st issue of Civil War - way to go, Cap! I like the digital coloring technique that they used. Parang each panel can stand on its own as a trading card with the details and all... Spidey's costume still sucks, but the way it's drawn and colored here... makes it less ugly...

hmmm lotsa of catching up to do since ive given up collecting comicbooks. downloaded lots of comicbook torrents but haven't decided which to read 1st. any other notable books from the past 2, 3 years that anyone can recommend?

I was pretty disappointed with DC's Infinite Crisis storyline. I was so disappointed I won't even bother with their 52 event.

 

Things I hated:

- It's not self-contained. Unlike House of M or Civil War, where everything is recapped before the story is told, this series assumes you've read all the relevant issues beforehand. Worse, other events are told in spin-off specials, so you never really get the entire story (example: GL Kyle Rayner morphs into "Ion" after somebody semi-significant dies; this is never mentioned in the main series. You suddenly wonder just what happened to him).

 

- How can Superboy be so much more powerful than even Superman? Or for that matter, the entire GL corps?

 

- Flash & Speed Force disappears--> obviously a temporary thing. Expect a return within a year or two.

 

- Horrible aftermath. The last issue was really rushed, they should have dedicated a few more pages to explain what happened to the world after the "crisis". Without it, the entire series seems like another Infinity Gauntlet (where no real changes to the Marvel Universe happened).

 

Overall its an exciting read, but it just wasn't enjoyable for me. After thinking about it, the entire series reeks more of a marketing event rather than a major storyline. I'm just glad I didn't pay a centavo for reading it!

^^ Infinite Crisis was dubbed as an earth shattering storyline.. But it fizzled out in the end.. Like I said, "52 Weeks is out.. I just hope that the writers dont f#&k it up.. (just like the much bally-hooed Infinite..)"

 

Infinite did not lived to its expectations of really changing the DC Universe.. Flash was the one really who changed.. as can be seen in the storyline.. So, who would take the mantle of the Flash? But it looks like Infinite is just a pre-lude for us to read the new Blue Beetle, Ion, and 52 Weeks, etc. Para ngang Zero hour din ito eh.. or Secret Wars II at (as thirteen said) Infinite Gauntlet, War and Crusade..

 

Although (for me) it was a good read.. but it lacked the earth-shattering stuff that the House Of M did to the Marvel Universe.. God, who cares if the Conner Kent is dead.. Superboy-clone?.. hehehe!!! Who cares if the old Superman died.. Kung sina Nightwing, Batman, Robin, etc. ang pinatay yun ang earth shattering.. Look at what Marvel did.. in the Avengers Disassembled storyline.. Yun ang earth shattering..

 

Would still buy the 52 Weeks, just to complete my collection.. I just hope it lives up to its expectations..

 

Marvel's Civil War seems to be a better read though.. I just hope that it won't be like the Onslaught series where it just fizzled out and readers just lost interest.. But the way Marvel is nowadays, it seems na maganda ang storyline nito..

 

Just my two cents..

Not really sure kung na-post na ito.

 

Have you guys read the Justice League Elite (mini-series lang siya)??

 

Parang silang "dark" side ng Justice League. "Behind the scenes" action yung style nila. Dati sila sa grupo ng "Elite" - vigilantes na pumapatay ng mga villains na walang awa. Sa huli natalo sila ni Superman.

 

Ang leader nila si Vera Black (who took the elite). Kapatid niya si manchester, dating leader ng elite. At first, di siya pinaniniwalaan nila Superman. But after saving the human race from the wrath of gaea, through her plan. She earned the respect of other leaguers, such as Flash, Green Arrow, Manitou Rave and Major Disaster.

 

Kasama din niya ang isang religous Muslim leader.

 

Sila yung lumalaban ng mga threats (before they go public) through uncoventional/unlawful means (of course no killing).

 

Hindi kaya ng JLA i-handle ang ganitong threat because of what they represent to the public. And they could simply say that the Justice League Elite does not exist.

 

Napa-atras nila yung Crime Syndicate of America (counterparts ng JLA sa negative universe) sa isang issue well on the other hand bugbog sarado ang JLA sa CSA.

eto na lang bro....k*ll Batman and just imagine the consequences

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

we don't have to imagine... i must say though, the bat has truly surpassed the boy scout & i think that just threw dc into a loop... my impression of dc is that they are always pushing superman to be their figure head because of the kid friendly image & over all popularity with the masses... they just don't see that happening with the bat but they cannot get rid him because of the strong fan base... i don't know if many here are aware of the but over in marvel, a lot of the top dogs, including stan lee actually hate mary jane watson & have tried numerous times to k*ll her off but the character's popularity was just too much that they just kept bringing her back every time they dispatch her...

if i'm not mistaken, i think i've read somewhere that spidey's new costume has some significance in terms of allegiance in their current civil war story.

 

- it was given by tony stark and we all know (for those who bought and read civil war # 1) whose side he belongs to.

- chances are, spidey would go to their side as a token of appreciation for his new "boss".

- on the other hand, i think spideys real inclination would be that of capt. america...

 

but this is just my opinion... hehe...

- we all still have to wait for this story to unfold...
