Essential The Official Comic Book Discussion Thread [Support @Neuromancer’s book!]

I'll be checking out Convergence based on which old characters are in which books (same as I plan to do with Secret Wars).

Rage of Ultron was absolute shyt. It annoys the hell out of me that so many of Marvel's writers write Hank Pym like he has had no character growth since 1985. Steve Englehart in West Coast Avengers and Kurt Busiek in his Avengers run addressed every emotional/mental issue Pym has ever had and resolved it all. Yet these dudes like Bendis and Remender continue to write the character like none of that character growth ever happened. It would be like only writing Tony Stark as a teetering drunkard or Reed Richards as a condescending emotionally distant cold fish. Plus the whole Rage of Ultron ending was terrible.

Wait, Reed isn't that anymore?

 

[Courvoisier Clyde]

Nah, he's a Family Man now

Well he's really a villian but since he's all about family he always get a pass for fukkery

Went to WonderCon yesterday. Copped some trades and finally crossed off some comics I was looking for. Finally got all Fatal Attractions comics.

List still isn't finished.

Rage of Ultron really reminded of the first arc of Uncanny X-force so glad Remender & Opena came back to do this and nice to know this takes place after secret war considering the ending.

Really ?

Really ?

Yeah really liked how epic it felt some of the avengers stuff (besides hickman) doesn't really feel like it isn't worthy of them banding together. Well IMO

Lex stays taking L's to Superman though.

Superman always ends up beating Lex.

Not to mention Batman's arch nemesis is a broke comedian who suffers from mild autism () and dresses like a clown because he accidentally bleached his skin that one time...

Yup, but you gotta find the right vendors. For all 6 comics, which I found separately, I only paid 11.50

A vendor was charging 3 bucks for each and still had all 6 comics.

It's so good to find them for a great price. Some cats were charging 10-20 for X-Men 25.

Yeah they do. I also love towards the end when you can get trades for 50-75% off cover price.
