m@rky Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 the Xmen Vs JLA crossover is still part of the Amalgam universe series, they are still contemplating on the plot for this one...based on some forum boards, many see the Xmen will obliterate the JLA because of two people...Xavier & Phoenix......for me, the only heroes on the JLA/JLU roster that can match those two are either The Spectre or Martian Manhunter <{POST_SNAPBACK}> martian manhunter might not be a good choice on this especially if its xavier and phoenix on the side of the x-men. manhunter is somewhat vulnerable to fire and phoenix is... well... has an embodiment of a bird on fire... regarding spectre... unfortunately i don't know anything about the character except that he is a powerful dude :cool: ... just a question pre... kasama na ba si spectre sa JLA?... di na ako up to date pagdating sa DC e... hehe...

If we take continuity into account, a lot of things can't be done. For one, Jean Grey can't be included in a current fight because she's dead (again). Quote Link to comment
punkus Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 is she really dead....? bihira kasi ang mga character's that stay dead pagdating sa comics eh..... Quote Link to comment

What happened? Ano ba naman iyan.. kaya minsan ayoko ng bumalik talaga sa comics... Tapos bubuhayin ulit siya.. nakakasawa.. Quote Link to comment
orionpax Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I think Cyclops has anticipated that Jean will die (again and again) so there was a twist wherein Scott & Emma Frost (former White Queen of the Hell Fire Club) are having a "psychic" affair behind Jean's back....well Scott had Madelyne Prior naman di ba? back on the JLA vs Xmen thingie...some writers contend that Phoenix shouldnt be considered part of the Xmen...coz the Phoenix embodiment doesnt consider itself under a team or organization In All Access, there was a part wherein Batman almost singlehandedly defeated almost all members of the X-men...but cant go past Prof X, only Plastic man is immune to Xavier's psionic powers As with regards to The Spectre...he is the embodiment of God's wrath...meaning he is omnipotent his equivalent is the Living Tribunal of Marvel....based on the continuity...pre Crisis...the Spectre is really part of the JSA, after the Crisis...his allegiance became JLA by default Edited February 1, 2006 by orionpax Quote Link to comment

revi Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hey! Just saw the new Capt. America comic book.. parang si Bucky yung nasa cover.. he has a different name now.. at sabi ng mga nakausap ko sa Filbar's mukhang si Bucky daw talaga yun.. Hindi pa yata alam kung sino.. but all findings point to Bucky.. Ano ito? After almost 50 yrs. bubuhayin nila ulit si Bucky.. Hay naku!!! :thumbsdownsmiley: Just recently bought the House of M limited series (in comic book format).. Sabi ito daw ang pangyayari that altered the Marvel Universe.. Got interested.. That's why I bought it.. Haven't read it yet.. but I am kinda excited.. :thumbsupsmiley: There is also a new Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.. 12 issues yata.. Kokompletuhin ko ito coz I have the TPB of the first Handbook which was originally published in 1982-1983.. Ito na kasi yung updated.. kaya kukunin ko na para naman updated ako sa mga bagong characters at altered characters.. Nice to re-live my passion when I was a kid,a teen ager and early 20's.. :thumbsupsmiley: Hanggang sa handbook lang ako at House of M.. at hanggang walang alterations na naman ang Marvel.. hindi muna ako magbabasa.. I still kinda like the storylines before (80's to early 90's) than today.. para kasing masyadong extreme ang mga pangyayari.. pinatay ito.. binuhay yun.. but a nice read is a nice read.. DC has good story lines nowadays.. but was never a DC fan.. kaya I was not interested in buying their new Crisis storylines.. but good reads yata.. coz a comic book fan in Filbars was so overwhelmed with the storylines.. he kept on ranting the story..

As much as possible have something significant happen in the storyline--it gives the issues more weight and keeps readers hooked. No more long drawn-out storylines that take years and years to finish. That, for me, was the thing i hated most about the 80's and 90's comics (that, and stupidly expensive fancy covers). That way, the writers who made the story can finish it as it was meant to be finished. No more loose threads, no more cheap endings. Example: the Legacy virus in X-men. It was meant to be Stryfe's revenge on mutants, a virus that overpowered the victim by overloading their powers. At first it was an urgent matter, then as the years wore on it just became something in the background, mentioned occasionally in every few issues. Only after something like 7 years did they find a cure, and by then, no one really cared. Quote Link to comment

revi Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 So.. m@rky.. was Jason Todd resurrected? What exactly happened? The Bat titles were one of my faves during the Knightfall, quest and end.. The third Robin.. Tim Drake, (I heard) has already retired.. and there was a girl who took the mantle of Robin.. si Spoiler yata.. but when he disobeyed a rule of Batman not to interfere in a fight.. she got fired.. patay na rin yata si Spoiler.. Although, I know for a fact, that there are a lot of Crisis fans of DC.. especially the new crisis series.. but I never liked having different earths (1,2,&3, di ba?) coz para sa akin nagugulo ang continuity.. at nagiging mahirap to jump ship.. coz you have to read the past titles to understand what happened.. Akala ko before nung ginawa ng DC yung Zero Hour.. ipagdidikit-dikit na nila yung mga events.. hay naku! :thumbsdownsmiley: This is the reason why even though magandang basahin ang new storylines ng DC hindi pa rin ako nag-collect nito.. Sa Marvel kasi walang ibang reality.. isa lang.. maaring i-alter nila just like in the House of M series but still may kinalaman yung dating mga pangyayari.. So hindi mahirap mag-jump ship.. Sa DC kasi ang isang character may ibat't-ibang realities.. dahil may iba't-ibang earths.. so iba din ang mga pangyayari per Earth di ba? I just hope that Marvel with its House of M series, would make the series as the cornerstone of their storylines.. meaning kahit buhayin nila sina Antman or Hawkeye.. as long as the continuity does not get destroyed.. Buti na lang they did not integrate the ultimate timeline in the present reality.. parang crisis lang yun.. di baduy? at gugulo lang.. In the House of M series.. Wanda (the Scarlet Witch) got so depressed whenever she remembers her twins that "never existed".. and she wants to alter reality.. and consequently had so many effects in the M Universe.. When the Vision and Scarlet Witch got married.. they bore twins (Vision and Scarlet Witch Limited Series-I have that lim series) but I never knew what happened to the twins.. I browsed in the internet and found out that: "The twin sons of Vision and the Scarlet Witch were born out of magic and the probability altering powers of Wanda. However, what really happened is Wanda's power latched hold of two shards of the demon Mephisto (he had recently been defeated and split into separate fractions by Franklin Richards). Agatha Harkness arrived after the twins began disappearing (they would vanish whenever Wanda wasn't thinking about them, i.e. during a desperate battle). Soon after Master Pandemonium kidnapped the twins and converted them back into their demonic nature for Mephisto. Though it appears that they never really had souls of their own, Kang (a time traveller) and Mantis have recently fought against the Avengers with two brothers in their twenties named Tobias and Malachi. They appear to be somehow connected to the Vision and Scarlet Witch, but whether they are William and Thomas remains to be seen." FYI lang ito.. Quote Link to comment
m@rky Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i was referring to the "Hush" storyline... in that arc the use of batmans emotions towards the "death" of jason was well portrayed and used... (not to mention the use of villains as well). in that arc they implied that jason was the mysterious hush figure which was behind the recent events thats been happening (in that story). and of course batman was hell bent on discovering the truth... batman was able to meet the hush villain but as far as i know (i might have missed a few clues here and there) the arc ended up with hush being implied as jason todd (a lot more clues and hints was dropped)... i was into this book in the first place because of jim lee, i didn't follow the next story arc because it wasn't drawn by him... i researched a little bit and i was able to find out that there's a new character in batman's world named "the red hood". this character was the one who was revealed as jason todd. as of the moment how he was resurrected is still mystery to me... (sorry i'm not up to date with this character). how he was resurrected might have already been explained but you might need to ask those who followed the storyline... bucky on the other hand is a little bit different because i'm more of a marvel fan, so i do care for this character.
