GENERAL COMIC BOOK THREAD (MANGA NOT ALLOWED)

Oh well, at least there's DC. If you ignore the whole "Rise of Arsenal" thing.

...and the Titans [tornado fang]-ups.

...and the Titans [tornado fang]-ups.

Damn! How could I forget that?

Oh yeah, repressed memories.

[Protoman Blues]

It wasn't any good. There's a whooole issue just flashbacking Ross' entire life. He says he's so sorry, he's so incredibly sorry, his life is filled with sin, blah blah blah... then culminates the issue toppling the American government.

And She-Rulk is Betty.

It looked pretty god awful.

......she isn't STILL She-Rulk, is she?  Man, Hulk needs to be shot into space again so his stories can be good.

Damn! How could I forget that?

Oh yeah, repressed memories.

They help.

It's funny and sad that not even my favorite YJers/Titans, Superboy and Kid Flash, couldn't renew my interest in the title. On the bright side, I have high hopes for the upcoming Superboy series because Jeff Lemire's take on the Atom is kicking seven degrees of butt (and I'm looking forward to the Superboy/Kid Flash race). Need I mention the second Flash title?

Good times to be an YJ fan right now, even if the team itself is defunct.

It was pretty God-awful. And yes. Only when Hulk goes cosmic again, will his stories be good. Seriously, some kind of alien force needs to destroy the Earth and get it over with. Then, all would be cool in the universe.

Yeah, I read some of the new Teen Titans issues as well. I mean, not only are the stories bad, and ONCE AGAIN revolving around Raven, but the literal writing itself is pretty awful as well.

I miss YJ.

I mean, Planet Hulk was so good I bought the trade. Although I wasn't the hugest fan of World War Hulk though.

Implying whichever of the big two are unsalvageable, terribly better off than the other one, or whatever

Was any of that any good?

And did Red She-Hulk come out already?

Honestly?

It's brainless, mindless fun. So-bad-it's-good-fun. This is Loeb you're talking about. Throw logic out of the window. Expect high levels of absurd histrionics to worse (anybody remember Superman beating Darkseid into space ranting about how Supergirl would never eat an APPLE PIE again? Or Ultimate Hank Pym yelling "That makes me... the [chameleon sting]er!!!" when he decapitates Ultimate Ultron?). And Red Hulk hadn't even showed up, himself, in any other Marvel title. The entire thing had that vibe of "nobody is going to ride with whatever is hapenning in this book" all the time. It was really contained to the red Hulk book and Incredible Hulk books and that was it.

I wouldn't exactly go recommending it to anyone, but if you don't mind seeing things taken to extremes that are so god damn ludicrous you're laughing at the book (even if I'm quite sure it's not intentional), you can flip through it and think it's the same as a brainless Hollywood popcorn flick. Otherwise, just steer clear.

Trying to bring Red Hulk into the Avengers, though, just goes completely against that. Especially handled by Bendis.

......she isn't STILL She-Rulk, is she?

Yes, she is, and apparently will be for the foreseeable future.

OHHHH. Loeb wrote it.  That pretty much explains it all right there.

It's probably his Bizarro Magnum Opus, next to Ultimatum.

Just been announced that Carnage is gonna come back.

...as a girl.

I wonder how the symbiote survived reentry.

Meh, never been the biggest Carnage fan. And what's this about Iron Man new liquid nature for his armor?

Gotta love how they constantly try to make his armor more real and less real, more real, less real...

I'd love that. Tony Stark would actually make awesome stuff in Marvel Cosmic. I can see him chilling with Star-Lord, helping out the Guardians of the Galaxy, and helping Nova setup the Corps again.

Also, Hobgobby is back. Yay!

Female Carnage?

I can dig it.

[Protoman Blues]

Since I was never a huge fan of Carnage in the first place, I generally have no issue with this. Here's hoping they improve upon the character.

[Mirby]

They have. With boobs. /generic-response

[Bueno Excelente]

Not everything can be improved with boobs. For example, Wolverine and Hulk can, but Spider-Man can't.

[Blackhook]

...So, everything besides Spidey can be improved with boobs...

[Acid]

Not everything can be improved with boobs. For example, Wolverine and Hulk can, but Spider-Man can't.

You're a fool that underestimated the power of boobs
