Dc And Marvel Universe

[khumpleetist]

I just read my reservation na delayed ng 3 weeks and here's my opinion:

 

 

Avengers: Initiative #14

 

It's somehow not new reader friendly if you bought this since it's a tie-in fro SI but since I had the initial arc of this series eh nakasabay naman ako. Yun lang ang comment ko pero the issue was a great tie-in for SI.

 

 

Green Lantern #32

 

I don't know if this is also an origin of sorts for another DC character since I'm new to DC but the current series is essential to teh much awaited Blackest Night event.

 

 

 

Hulk #4

 

Mindless slugfest but what do you expect in a Hulk comic? I'm looking forward for another slugfest next issue w/Thor!

 

 

Mighty Avengers #15

 

Solid SI tie-in telling how Henry Pym was replaced by a Skrull. I was expecting he was replaced when he stopped a Hydra vessel in issue # 2.

 

 

Ms. Marvel #28

 

This is somehow a continuation of Ms. Marvel's depressing fellings on the last issue but this time she does it ala Uma Thurman in k*ll Bill Volume One where her character faced the whole Crazy 88 (?) gang. No futher development w/regards to SI in my opinon.

 

 

New Avengers #42

 

Bendis continues how did the current Invasion was tied w/the first issues of this comic. The issue focuses on the Queen Skrull herself. Solid art by Cheung and a great tie-in to SI.

 

 

Secret Inasion: Runaways/Young Avengers #1

 

The art didn't suit my taste since it was intended to be manga style. I've nothing against mangas but not on a Marvel comic book please. With the art aside I guess this is not a mindless tie-in and may hold a key chapter w/the main series.

 

 

Star Wars: Dark Times #12

 

So this was the Vector tie-in for this series? I rarely comment that this series can be done in an issue but that's what I felt when I read the last page that the series crosses over w/the next Star Wars title. Hindi pa umiinit ang puwet ko eh ganun na yun? That's for the tie-in aspect but the regular story was decent and makes me want to follow this series at least.

 

 

X-Men: Legacy #213

 

I was expecting that this issue would have a cliffhanger ending but it won't matter to me. I was expecting a mediocre end for the DWS tie-in but instead it got me hooked! Too bad this is my last issue for this series since I don't have enough budget.

[khumpleetist]

My list for this week:

 

AVENGERS INITIATIVE #15

GREEN LANTERN CORPS #26

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #23

NEW AVENGERS #43

NEW WARRIORS #14

ROBIN #175

SHE-HULK 2 #31

SKRULLS ONE-SHOT

THUNDERBOLTS #122

UNCANNY X-MEN #500

MARVEL COMICS again beat DC by a wide margin in June 2008 SALES............. :goatee:

guys, how much do you spend a month sa comics? ano say ng gf / asawa nyo? worth it ba? ano gagawin nyo sa mga comics nyo? any plans? :hypocritesmiley:

 

ako i spend mga 1.5 to 3 k ( depende sa mga mini series ) ....sympre minsan kiaw kiaw si mrs..sayang pera daw..........comics ko for reading ( hobby ) lang...... :headsetsmiley:

My wife hates my NBA Card Collection dahil mas magastos siya.. And wala naman daw nahihitang "katalinuhan" diyan.. At least daw ang comics ay para ding mga libro.. Before I was spending around 5-10K a month sa NBA Cards ko.. Now, I just spend around 1,5K to 2K for my cards dahil nag-lie-low na ako sa mga rookie cards.. I just buy when I see a good deal.. Atsaka medyo humirap ang buhay.. haha..

 

For my comicbooks, I think I am spending around 4-5K a month.. Kasi almost 1K ang gastos ko per week and there are weeks na lumalampas ako ng 1K.. My wife hates it when I buy a lot of comicbooks, she is not really into it but she knows that at least I don't spend money by going to MP's and KTV's.. hahaha.. (Well that is what she knows.. )

 

But I am trying to cut down on my spendings and that is the reason why I don't buy all the tie-ins.. I became kinda meticulous in the comics I buy.. And the internet reviews help me pick up what I like and some key issues..

 

I also borrow the Previews from my comicbook store and read it for one whole night just to know what issues to get and not to get.. In this day and age, we all have to get only the stuff we really want and get the stuff that would mean something for our collections in the future.. And reading reviews and previews is necessary dahil sobrang mahal ng mga bilihin ngayon.. We can't really be too trigger happy when buying comics (this actually holds true in everything)..

 

Nga pala, give and take lang kami ni Wifey.. Badminton lang naman luho niyan at kain sa labas.. I give in and accompany her but she has to let me have my Comics and Cards fix..

 

BTW, just read in comicbookresources.com that the Superman event will start in October.. Much like Sinestro Corps of 2007, all titles of Superman will be needed.. Cross-over event na naman..

[khumpleetist]

@mazinger

 

I spend around 3k-5k per month. Yung nanay ko ang nagcocomment sa akin pero mabuti naman at naintindihan niya na din kasi may ka-officemate siya sa opisina na nagmamahal daw. Like revi and norbyela metikoloso din ako pagdating sa comics (naniniwala ako na lahat ng kolektor eh metikoloso) , I usually have a future list pero tinigil ko na dahil sa summer events. I use Previews to keep me updated and guided sa upcoming issues at paminsan minsan eh may nagugustuhan yung mga ka-opisina ko kaya umoorder din sila, parang Avon Lady tuloy ako. Hahaha!

 

I'm also into Magic CCG pero walang panahon at budget, paminsan minsan eh sumasali ako sa mga pre-release kasi patas ang labanan kahit experienced ka or casual gamer ka lang. Basketball lang ang isa ko pang hilig pero dahil pang gabi ako eh wala na akong panahon kaya internet na lang pag wala akong pasok kasi sa gabi din ako gising dahil ang hirap kapag nabago ang body clock.

 

 

@revi

 

Tempting yung event ni Supes kasi anniversary niya ngayong taon pero tiis muna. Hehehe.

 

 

@norbyela

 

I think I'm going to keep Captain Britain & MI13 because I'm looking for a supernatural concept in the MU. And besides, it's one great series so far eventhough I haven't read issue #3 yet. But if I drop this I'll probably get Ghost Rider on his upcoming arc since it's going to be Johnny vs. Danny! Issue #23 is a key issue ata kasi dun ata unang lumabas si Zadkiel at yun yung comeback issue ni Danny Ketch.

Same here. maarte din ako sa spine at edges unless last copy na talaga. Sinususndan ko yung Green Lantern pati Green Lantern Corps. Si revi eh kumukuha din ng Green Lantern. I'm still undecided kung kukuhanin ko mga reservations ko bukas or sa sahod na lang.

[m@rky]

i'm also within that range when it comes to my comic hobby (3 to 5k a month). i'm also trying to cut down a little bit pero mahirap talaga.

[khumpleetist]

Dammit! Final Crisis would probably have a back-up artist by issue #4. Morrsion mentioned he had this back-up plan all along just in case JG Jones would have a hard time w/the deadline. I think it's Carlos Pacheco lending Jones a hand. This sucks. Imagine this happened in Infinite Crisis and they're doing the same mistake. DC favors delivery on timie while Marvel suffers some setback but quality assured. :grr:

[Y-thelastman]

I just called CO. Wala ng Straw Men #1. SOLD OUT na!. f#&kin ass!!!!. I hope malakas ako sa CO and they could get one from someone.hehehehehe!

 

aw, hell. ganun ba? sayang. baka x-files 0 na lang kunin ko kung walang nai-resrve na copy sken. di pa naman ako makakadaan ngayon.

Yep, tama ka. Kakaumpisa pa lang delayed agad ang FC. Walang FC sa August. Starting from #4 e tutulong na si Carlos Pacheco sa penciling duties ng FC.

 

Kala ko wlang kumukuha ng GL sa inyo. Ganda kasi ng storyline ngayon. Can't wait for The Blackest Night event.

[revi]

Delayed ang FC? haha.. So, what's new.. :sleepysmiley03:

 

@Y-the last man: Green Lantern is the best book in town.. Reviewers are raving about it and are all expecting a huge "Blackest Night" event.. I decided to drop GL Corps and continue GL because of the reviews surrounding the title..

 

@khumpleetist: Kunin mo na yung bagong Superman arc sa October.. Geoff Johns yun eh.. haha..

 

@all: Uncanny XMen #500's reviews all over the web are shitty.. hahaha.. And that is an understatement.. Why? Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng comic review na nasa F ang rating.. Oh well! Yung covers na lang ang saving grace.. BTW, I won't be getting the Greg Land cover.. I changed my mind.. Ross na lang ako at yung Turner variant..

Nagpauna naman ang DC na may "break" ang FC pero hindi ko akalain na maapektuhan ang art. tagal pa Blackest Night pero excited na ako.

Nabasa ko nga yung interview kay Geoff Johns tungkol sa mga project niya pero hindi na talaga kaya ng budget ko. Hehehe. Pagkatapos siguro ng FC.

 

Bulok ba yung Uncanny X-Men #500? Hmmm? Bukas ko pa mababasa eh. Tingnan natin.

 

@all

 

Sino ba yung naghahanap ng FC Green Lantern cover? May isa pang kopya sa CO Galeria.

[Y-thelastman]

I've read it and di naman siya pangit. Marami lang talagang Marvel haters sa mga nagrereview sa internet. Kahit dati nangyayari na to. Masyado kasing sikat ang X-Men kaya medyo mataas ang expectations nila. Although ung ibang points sa reviews eh tama. Still, it does not deserve ung ganung kababang rating. "F"? :thumbsdownsmiley:

[mazinger]

yah.....better ask for a 2nd opinion norbyela.

 

btw, is the GL cover of FC# 1 a variant cover?

 

mukhang maganda ang superman arc sa october.....9 issues daw at crossover bet the 3 titles. tama ba pagkaintindi ko?

 

nag browse ako sa uncanny x-men # 500 ( di ko na binili ) .....dnt knw why di ko type ang art.

:goatee:

:goatee:

 

Nabasa ko na yung Uncanny X-Men #500 at hindi naman siya masama. Nagandahan pa nga ako kasi hindi lang si Magneto ang kalabang involved. marami kasing nag-eexpect na dapat engrande ang istorya kasi milestones issue ito at hindi ko sila masisisi kasi nga hindi siya ganun ka-engrande para sa milestone issue pero hindi naman pangit yung istorya kung hindi mo iisipin na milestone issue ito. Nagtataka lang ako kasi andun si Cannonball kasi ang huling istorya niya eh kasama na siya sa Hellfire Club pero hindi ko pa nababasa yung issue #4 ng Young X-Men so baka nga nagbalik loob na siya sa X-Men.

 

Yung GL cover yung original cover may variant siya pero 50/50 variant naman kaya pareho lang ng presyo.

 

Di ko na inalam yung crossover ni Superman kasi pass ako dun.

[khumpleetist]

I've read it also. Di naman din pangit. actually, kailangan muna gawang intro ang SF kaya, parang mabagal and consists of some of the problems socially

 

Just went to my dentist kahapon, and she said that I need P8,000/side to take uot my f#&king impacted wisdom teeth. Son of a bitch. That is not right. Kaya mukhang nakatsambay muna ang aking comics sa reserves ko sa CO

 

Gawa nga kaya akong foundation para sa teeth ko. What u think. Kkk

 

Pa second opinion ka muna, kung kinakailangan ngang ganun dapat ang gawin sa ngipin mo.

[revi]

@norbyela: I am also impacted.. Kaso di pa naman sumasakit.. hahaha.. Yep tama sila, ask ka ng 2nd opinion.. Yung dentist ko hindi niya bubunutin ang impacted na ngipin ko kung wala naman daw nararamdaman na sakit..

 

nag browse ako sa uncanny x-men # 500 ( di ko na binili ) .....dnt knw why di ko type ang art.

:goatee:

 

Kahit ako hindi ko type yung art niya..

 

Still, can't wait to get my hands on the Turner variant..

 

The Superman event is still blurred as of now.. But will definitely get it.. :thumbsupsmiley:

[mazinger]

one things for sure i'm gonna get FLASH : REBIRTH next year ( GEOFF & EVAN ) :thumbsupsmiley:

[revi]

^Flash Rebirth? Well, I am gonna get that too.. haha..

 

My pulls for this week:

 

Green Lantern #38

Northlanders #8 (last issue of the first story arc)

SI: Fantastic Four #3

Wolverine #67

Man With No Name #3

 

Last issue na din ng SI: FF.. Kaso, by next week darating na yung "New Ways to Die" na storyline.. Weekly pa naman ito, kaya dagdag gastos..

 

Who among you here is getting Marvel's True Believers #1? Maganda kaya ito? Any thoughts? 5 issue mini-series yata ito..

[khumpleetist]

My list for this week:

 

 

BLACK PANTHER #39

GREEN LANTERN #33

JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA ANNUAL #1

MS MARVEL #29

PROJECT SUPERPOWERS #5

SECRET INVASION FANTASTIC FOUR #3

STAR WARS REBELLION #15

TRUE BELIEVERS #1

WOLVERINE ORIGINS #27

 

 

 

@revi

 

I'll probably get Flash: Rebirth as well and I hope this'll just be a mini series but I think it's going to be a regular series. I'm also considering the Superman crossover and hopefully my list would be lesser by October but if not then it's ok.

 

I'm going to get True Believers #1. Lots of new characters for this comic I think.

 

 

@norbyela

 

Better keep copies of your list in your email.

My list:

 

Amazing Spider-Man Extra

Green Lantern 33

True Believers 1 or Reign in Hell 1

 

=========

 

@khumpleetist I believe The Flash: Rebirth is going to be a mini-series just like GL: Rebirth.

I hope so because I can't afford to add any regular title on my list anymore. I was also considering getting Reign In Hell #1 because I'm into supernatural/mystery stuff but I'll pass muna.
