SuaveStar Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I don't really get these new looks that DC and Marvel seem to think are so great with new costumes. I kind of wonder if they just don't have extremely good designers in the higher-up positions. Yes, Jim Lee is a great artist, but his original designs are a little meh. Alex Ross, on the other hand, is the kind of guy you want doing redesigns, since he really gets the concept of what makes a suit work (like with his design for Bucky-Cap). Re-designs probably take ages to actually do, and then they would have to go through so many channels to be approved, so Jim Lee, being the co-publisher, doing the re-designs for DC himself kind of makes sense, as he wouldn't have as many people to agree to his changes as someone else would. Jim Lee did have good design ideas, the only problem is, they all seem to best suited for a 1992 elseworlds story. Ms Marvel, I like the costume, just the hair is a bit strange.

SuaveStar Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 A couple of things: X-Men VS Avengers 0 was pretty average. I didn't care about Scarlet Witch or Hope Summers going in, and I went out still not caring about either. Norman Osborne as the leader of HAMMER was awesome, and him VS Tony Stark in Iron Man shows how much of a great Iron Man villain Osborne could be.

JackFetch Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Uncanny Avengers 001 It kind of looks like an ad supporting gay marriage. Thor and Havok looks like they are holding hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've yet to see Havok sport a good costume, so I have no opinion on his redesign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 The original is awesome, and I will not hear otherwise. And his Mutant X suit was a very sleek, very simple costume that I love to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 With me coming to a wider knowlage of comics quite late, my overriding impression of Havok's first costume has always been that he's Scorpius from Farscape with silly bits attached to his head.

dc20willsave Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Uncanny Avengers # 1 is going to have 12 different covers. Am I the only one thinking of the 90s all of a sudden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Evil Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Marvel's been trying 90s strategies for a while now. i doubt we're going to see another bubble burst like we did in the early 90s but they do need to calm it down a bit.

Stavros Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ok, I'm reading the first issue of the New Captain Marvel and the first page cracked me up. Carol and Captain America are fighting Absorbing Man and can asks "What do you want with a piece of moon rock anyway Creel" and Creel responds "MOON POWERS!". Brilliant.

Missy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Daniel Way will be the writer of X-Force once Marvel NOW! kicks off. I'll give it one storyline to impress me, but my hopes are not high. I don't dislike Way's work, but it's never done it for me. He can write high action, but I've rarely seen any heart in his books. And that's exactly what modern X-Force needs; that's why Rick Remender's Uncanny X-Force and Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost's X-Force worked so well. They were filled with brutal action, but, more than that, the series were about people dealing with becoming unspeakable monsters in order to stop even bigger monsters from unleashing havoc on the planet. We'll see if Way can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Way can write cartoon action, but that's it. I'm not a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Wat. Wasn't one of the huge things of Cap's characterization that he was offered the office once, and turned it down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 This just in: America has declared war on France, for apparently no reason. President Rogers is quoted as saying that the French deserved it because, quote: "they're a bunch of pansies." This also just in: France has immediately surrendered.
