andrean48 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Thanks sir Revi. About a few years ago, or maybe more than a decade ago, I had some comics featuring XMEN. BUT it was not just any ordinary XMEN, those were XMEN in TAGALOG. Are those also Marvel? Quote Link to comment
revi Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Thanks sir Revi. About a few years ago, or maybe more than a decade ago, I had some comics featuring XMEN. BUT it was not just any ordinary XMEN, those were XMEN in TAGALOG. Are those also Marvel? Dubbed in tagalog? Maybe they are printed by National Bookstore under supervision/license from Marvel.. I really don't know, dude.. But in terms of collectibility baka sentimental value lang ang meron niyan.. :thumbsupsmiley: Still, I would still consider those as rare comics..

artvader Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 No, I don't think those were the National Bookstore reprints (though it does show your age if you remember seeing one...heh heh). I think those were the ones licensed by one of the local publishers here (Atlas publishing or one of those). But yeah, I also remember those National Bookstore reprints with the white back cover and a list of other children's book titles that National Bookstore were reprinting arranged in 2 column formats... sigh. Those were the days when superheroes were the embodiment of good and villains are evil through and through. Quote Link to comment
cheeselogger Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Mine was sent by my cuz from NYC. try the usual suspects here in the phils. anyway, if you wanna read ahead of your friend here's an online link where you can get your scans of World War Hulk story.http://groups.msn.com/ultimatespidermanonl...rvelevents.msnwYou might want to start with the Planet Hulk section before reading the World War Hulk. Enjoy!!! :thumbsupsmiley: *I suggest you save all of the pages first then compress them to CBR for you to read and see the images better. I finished reading (a semi-compilation) Planet Hulk before and it was great! the Iluminati guys are gonna be in a whole lot of pain if Hulk would get his hands on them... The first issue of World War Hulk and WWH: XMen were released a few weeks back.. Therefore, wala pa yung 2-5.. So, I think you still would be able to buy the first issues in the comicshops here.. Filbar's, Comic Quest.. But the best bet would be Comic Odyssey in Galleria.. I think I saw several WWH's a week back.. thanks to you guys again! once I get back to Manila I will try the Galleria shop immediately. hope there's still some left. thanks bro revi!

rdaq97 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 like I said Batman can be very formidable and would beat just about anyone with two weeks prep time. But if he just met any of those guysin a dark alley, he'd get mauled definitely. He's old and the hundreds of fights he's been in take its toll on his human body (Steve Rogers is roided up so that doesn't apply to him). The biggest batman peeve ever is how come he can go toe to toe with the best of the super powered villains but then gets jumped and beaten on by an ordinary street thug. I mean the dude has even gone head to head with Superman (with a suit, but still) and some thug just bloodies him on the street. Even with all his blackbelts. Well yeah.. I don't know for the life of me why they do that a lot in the Batman comics. of course, the thugs tend to outnumber bats almost in every fight. but that's practically no excuse for a guy who was trained to engage groups of people. a little help again, where can I still get a copy of World War Hulk: X-Men and the 5 main issues of World War Hulk? my friend's asking me to try and find it for him while he's still busy as of the moment with work and he said that he already tried looking for it before so I'd aprreciate it if you guys can help me. if I do find those issues I might be able to borrow it from him... hehehe thanks a lot in advance! WWH is still in progress.. some of the issues you are looking for haven't been released yet and I hope this doesn't get delayed like Civil War. Quote Link to comment
TidusJanus Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) I finished reading (a semi-compilation) Planet Hulk before and it was great! the Iluminati guys are gonna be in a whole lot of pain if Hulk would get his hands on them... whoops. Wasn't able to read that you were looking for the complete WWH series. hehe...it won't be finished til October(that's if there are no delays). The release of WWH 2 is set on July 18 if I remember well. Anyway, as I said, if you want to read the WWH 1 and the tie-ins, it's all in that link I posted. and oh, the Hulk already has his hands on one of em. Can't say the bastard didn't deserve it. hahaha He deserves to be killed by the Hulk. Stupid Stark.haha I change my stance regarding prof X's answer. I think he would've agreed with Tony and the others coz he already tried to go inside Hulk's head but it didn't have a good result. Edited July 9, 2007 by TidusJanus Quote Link to comment

Yung parang Funny Comics ang paper sa loob. Yung story, Xmen talaga. Quote Link to comment
khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Bro, re: the new Sinestro Corps.. The reviews are great in the US.. I have reserved a copy for myself.. But its just a one-shot.. Do you suggest buying the tie-ins as well? As far as I know, Green Lantern and the Corps will be the tie-ins.. Any info would be appreciated, bro.. Thanks.. I am also getting the Countdown series.. It looks unpromising na naman.. :thumbsdownsmiley: Bro, Sinestro Corps is really worth it! I've been reading Green Lantern Corps and it's one of the titles that I enjoy and I would certainly follow the story. I'm also following Countdown so far and it's a let down talaga, hope it recovers soon. Quote Link to comment
khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I don't even know what M2 S-2149e is. EDSA cor. North Ave, isn't that either Trinoma or SM City? Sorry, I shoul've posted the place. It's in Trinoma. Well, I hope you checked out the contact info and much better if you attended cause I wasn't able to because of work. Damn. Quote Link to comment
khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 lets do a vs. thread straight up hand to hand fight no weapons Batman vs. Daredevilwho wins? Hand to hand? Hands down: Daredevil Quote Link to comment
khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 :cool: Batman vs. Daredevil.. Well, Matt Murdock has powers.. He was bombarded with radioactive chemicals which blinded him and gave him heightened senses that includes a "radar sense.." - that means he can actually see images.. Much like Batman, Daredevil is a gifted athlete and is also superb in hand to hand combat.. And Batman has no powers.. So, without weapons, I would say Daredevil because of his heightened senses.. Bruce Wayne is definitely more intelligent but without weapons, the Batman would falter against the Devil.. How about.. Aquaman and the Sub-Mariner? ---- There is a new company crossover coming next week.. its New Avengers/Transformers.. 4 part mini-series.. Check it out.. BTW, the story happened before the Civil War.. Aquaman vs Sub-Mariner? Hmmm, this is without weapons but I think Aquaman would win this one coz he can shut-off Sub-Mariner using his mind the way he took out Zum (?) from JLA (1997) # 4. Pass muna ko dun sa company crossover. Quote Link to comment
khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah, i forgot the dude...as well as the Richard Dragon character I was thinking of adding Richard Dragon but I only saw him in 52 and I can't remember the heroes he trained. Quote Link to comment
khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 In my opinion lang naman... If it was an impromptu fair fight, MAYBE Daredevil would take it. But given enough time to prepare, lets say a day or two, Bats would know DD strengths and weaknesses inside and out. Plus he would DEFINITELY cheat so he would win hands down. That made my day.

khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Wasnt it the other way around? Wasnt Batman saying that Clark ranked him lower than Karate Kid and that he liked being under-ranked? I could be wrong though. Yeah, Bruce was ranked lower but when he fought Karate Kid he thought Clark should've given him (Karate Kid) a higher rating. I could be wrong na rin, nagiging makaklimutin na ata ako ah. Quote Link to comment
khumpleetist Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 don't underestimate the Bat's fighting skills, he's a blackbelt in almost every known martial art (although how he achieved this before 40 without buying the belts is beyond me). so he has legit martial arts skills. If they meet in a dark alley and decide to give it a go.... I'd have to give it to batman, he's pretty smart in a short time he'd figure out how DD does his echo location (even bullseye figured it out in the movie) and pretty much take advantage of it. He'd be on the way to the hospital after though, but he'd win. Given two weeks prep time? Matt Murdoch will be using that cane for real. Batman is unbeatable given ample time to prepare.uhmm no Steve Rogers is at the peak of human potential. and he has been fighting for far longer than batman. Experience, Physical Strength, Fighting Skill, and the willingness to go all out if need be (batman pulls his punches, ever wonder why in one issue he beats the crap out of some super powered villain, only to be beaten bloody by a street thug in the next issue?) are all advantages for Captain America. No amount of prep time can prepare Bruce Wayne for Super Roid Head Steve Rogers. There are a lot of fighters in the MU who can beat the crap out of Batman, Iron Fist, Shang Chi, I'd argue that even Frank Castle can give Bruce Wayne all he can handle. Well, if there's preparation then definitely it's Batman. He'd also be able to analyze DD's moves but DD's smart in his own way too. Castle would give Batman a run for his money (Just like what Punisher dished out w/fight(s) with DD) but Bats would still win. For Cap against Bats? Bats admitted he'd lose (see Avengers/JLA (2003) # 2). Against Shang Chi, I don't know because I haven't read any story about him. It would be nice to go up against Iron Fist because aside from the skills they're both 'rich kids'. Quote Link to comment
