Dc And Marvel Universe

[ricky777]

anyone interested in Spawn#1

With Marvel, you may wanna pick up the new issues of the Fantastic Four.. (they are tied-in to the Civil War series, but that is not what is important).. coz it looks like a Thunder God is coming back to the Marvel Universe.. I just hope its not Beta Ray Bill.. the hammer of Thor came tumbling down to Earth.. and somebody was able to pick it up and fly because of it.. and his luggage had the inscriptions DB.. "Don Blake?" Hmm...

 

This is in connection with my above post.. After I browsed the pages of Civil War #3.. To my amazement.. there in the last page.. THOR is back!!! :cool: Kanino kaya siya? Side ni Cap or ni Tony Stark? <_<

I think he'll neither side with one nor the other. He's a god, eh and he's not American so the superhero registration act shouldn't affect him. He'll probably become as a sort of mediator between the 2 factions...

[mhengh]

can anyone here post a copy of the whole Walking Dead series by Image comics?

[punkus]

parang this civil war storyline parang di original....parang recycled na yung plot di ko lang ma pinpoint kung saan...

[_eRon_]

talaga?recycled?hmm, san galing yun plot line?..

I've never been a fan of any comic universe, aside from siguro yung DC Animated Universe, na sinimulan nila a few years back. Mas gusto ko yung timeline nila doon, especially sa Justice League and Justice League Unlimited nila.

sobrang fan ko ng justice league & justice league unlimited, naghahanap nga ko ng mga original dvd sets ng 1st&2nd season, mganda art, astig ang plot lines, astig pagkakagawa, talo niya mga animated series ng marvel..

If you're thinking about the Mutant Registration act (circa 90's), then you're only half right. Pero doon hindi nila natuloy yun registration act and it affected only the mutant communities. Right now with civil war all Marvel heroes are either on one side of the conflict or the other... or migrated to Canada.

 

Have anyone read the Black Panther wedding issue? Where did Prof. X come from? Kala ko he was missing since House of M? And how come he can walk again?

[_eRon_]

naglalakad na ulit si xavier? tlga? bkit daw?

 

nakita ko yung trinity series ng dc, mukhang astig ah, has anyone read it?

[artvader]

Sabi lang ni Xavier kay Storm "Long Story", eh. But the fact that he's back at all is intriguing by itself.

 

I wonder who else will be back from the dead? Jean Grey? Again?

Although DC has brought back certain characters which have died like Hal Jordan/Parallax, Jason Todd/Hush, etc., the fact that Barry Allen/Flash is still dead does make DC more credible than Marvel. Along with the original Supergirl's death, these events help retain the emotional impact of the Crisis on Infinite Earths miniseries. When Marvel brought back Jean Grey after the Phoenix Saga, it did diminish the relevance of that major storyline as it renders it's climax mute and academic.

 

To be honest, I didn't even realize that Thor died. Anyway, i think nobody believes that Thor will be dead anyway for long.

Warren Ellis (one of the best comic sci-fi writers IMHO) killed off most of the veteran Stormwatch members. The remaining Stormwatch agents reformed under Jenny Sparks and formed The Authority. The first Authority run is well worth the money (there are 4 books that collect this run).

 

Some people say that Marvel's The Ultimates is clearly inspired by The Authority. I'm not surprised many people think that since both the writer (Millar) and artist (Hitch) of The Ultimates both gained recognition on their respective runs with The Authority.

 

The Stormwatch/Authority run by Warren Ellis is one of the best superhero team storylines I have ever read. Initially, i was only interested in it when Grant Morisson mentioned that Ellis was doing the superhero team concept better than he was when he was still writing JLA. Since Morisson's JLA is still one of my favorites, I managed to track down all of the Ellis Stormwatch and Authority issues. After reading it, it is clearly influenced by Watchmen and Miracleman but takes those influences in a creative way with good execution.

I don't know about that... Green Arrow's resurrection was the lamest one I've read so far. And to think that he was a decomposing corpse already. As for Barry Allen: I don't think he 'died' in the traditional sense. He still pops up every so often. At least Uncle Ben is still dead and so is Captain Marvel. At least in the Marvel universe they make up a story that the character really didn't die. At least that's the trend these days...

 

I think DC's got it easy when it comes to reviving their 'dead' characters. They just do another 'Crisis' storyline to shake up the timestream/reality and make the dead character alive again in the rebooted universe.

 

I think they were really thinking of reviving Jean Grey from the very beginning (or at least from the time she first 'died'), that's why they adopted the code name Phoenix for her. What's a Phoenix if it doesn't rise up every now and then anyways?

Uncle Ben ? Why don't you include Gwen Stacy. Supporting characters die especially if they are important elements of what makes the character become a hero just like Superman's parents dying in the explosion of Krypton and Batman's parents being killed by a mugger.

Marvel's Captain Marvel is a relatively minor superhero so he remains dead. About Marvel making up a story that the character really didn't die, i don't see that difference between that and the way that Green Arrow and Jason Todd were resurrected from the dead. Both of those approaches are lame.
