  1. We've seen a lot of comics made into movies and TV shows, but we don't often see the reverse. So, with that said, what movies or TV shows need to be made into comics? It could be a straight adaptation, a miniseries, or ongoing.

    TV:

    Sopranos

    MOVIES:

    28 Days Later

    The Lord of the Rings (I know it's a book!)

    Harry Potter (I know it's a book!)

    From Dusk Till Dawn

    Heathers

    The Man with No Name trilogy

    Kill Bill

  2. Why did Odin adopt Loki?

    Seeing as how it's been over 48 hours without an answer, I'll give it away: Odin led a war that killed Loki's birthfather, and decided to honor the fallen king by adopting his infant son.

    Here's another question: We recently learned that Logan was not Weapon X, but Weapon 10 -- damn those Roman numerals! Shortly thereafter Logan discovered who Weapon I was. Who was Weapon I?

  3. Batgirl #7, page 22 (splash page) -- Lady Shiva punching Cassandra Cain (Batgirl)

    Batgirl #11, page 11 -- Batman kicking around David Cain

    Cable #5, cover -- Cable diving away from Sinsear

    Fantastic Four (v3) #30, page 22 (3/4 splash page) -- Sue, Johnny, and Ben; Reed in Doom's armor; the return of Doctor Doom in makeshift armor

    GI Joe #2 (Image) pin-up -- Roadblock cooking dinner (not so sure about the issue number; it's either 2 or 3)

    Nightwing (v2) #22, pages 2-3 (double-page spread, splash) -- Nite-Wing and Justice Force (distorted/dream versions of Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and Tarantula)

    Nightwing (v2) #49, pages 22 (splash page) -- Torque holding someone hostage

    Nightwing (v2) #50, pages 24 -- Nightwing, Torque, and some woman getting blown up

    Ravage 2099 #24, page 3 -- some guys attacking Ravage

    Robin #53, pages 28-29 (double-page spread, splash) -- destroyed Gotham City, no one special

    Spider-Man 2099 #26, pages 2-3 (double-page spread, 1/2 splash) -- Spidey 2099 hangs himself (dream sequence)

    Transmetropolitan #3, pages 4-5 (double-page spread, splash) -- a riot seen from the rooftops, no one special

    There are three other pages in the basement, but someone spilt soda on them. :( Thankfully they weren't pages I cared that much about:

    C.O.P.S. #?, page ? -- unknown characters

    Marvel Christmas Special, page 4 of the Punisher story -- Punisher (dressed as Santa) stopping a thug

    Robotech #?, page 20

    I also have the original script for The Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 written by Alan Moore -- this is the first appearance of John Constantine (It's actually a copy from Moore's collection.)

  4. I have a small collection of original comic book art, and I was wondering if anyone else on the board collects these one of a kind pieces of comic book history.

    If so, list the book and issue the piece is from, as well as the characters featured on the page.

  5. Yoda, it does get boring playing it in one-player mode. Any of us can attest to that. The fun of it is in the multiplayer. You can alter the match types almost infinitely. Play it with 3 other people and you'll probably like it a lot more.

    I don't have three people to play it with. :( And even if I did, I only have two controllers.

  6. And should this thread be changed to the "Official Smash Brothers Melee thread"?

    Done... and I should probably pin it too, but I won't 'cause I still don't get this game. :P

    I get it, so I shall pin it. Cheap Heat's first official mod.

    What was that you said on DS9 when Lauren was promoted to Admin...? Oh, I remember, "I've got a feeling Cheap Heat will become Cock Hair." Well guess what... :D

    I kid!

  7. I knew I should have said "alcoholism". From this point on only sentient beings, or I will lock this. Sorry to be a dick, but this can be a fun game if we don't get too silly.

    I'm going back to Daredevil, and saying he was beaten by Bullseye when he killed Karen Page.

  8. I was always partial to Star Mario (invincible) with a Flower. What could possibly beat an unstoppable fireball-throwing Italian plumber? Nothing I say, nothing! Since that isn't up there, I'll vote Fire Mario.

    Feather Mario (with the cape) would own Flying Raccoon Mario any day of the week, people.

  9. Here's a man who has spent his entire career with Marvel, drawing everything from Iron Man to the X-Men, Hulk to Star Brand, Cable to the Batman/Punisher crossover, Daredevil to Thor, Spider-Man to The Punisher. At a time when high-priced, superstar independent creators couldn't be bothered to publish a comic but two to three times a year, Romita, Jr. was illustrating two books a month.

    His ability to tell a story and convey emotions are unmatched, yet he's often overlooked by the comic book fan base because he doesn't draw larger-breasted, nearly-nude women on every page. Because he didn't break away from Marvel to do his own thing it seems as if the fans are punishing him by turning a blind eye to a cornerstone of Marvel's creative community.

    Unfortunately, his shining moment came in the wake of 9/11 with the black-covered Amazing Spider-Man #36. Romita, Jr. bled his heart and soul into those 22 short pages, but instead of telling you myself, I'll provide the following quote:

    John Romita Jr.'s artwork throughout is the aspect of the book that I have no complaints about. His visuals are incredible, and he manages to convey the heroes' presence for the most part without undercutting the real heroism of the firefighters, police and rescue workers. In fact, this story is as much about the real rescue efforts as Spider-Man's reaction to the tragedy, at least in visuals. We're so accustomed to seeing heroes using their powers by attacking others, it was nice to see them using it to rescue and rebuild for a change. Romita's work on this issue represents a career best, and given his impressive career, that's saying something.

  10. Does Nick Fury's brainwashing of the Punisher count as a victory?

    Sure.

    Nick Fury was "killed" by the Punisher. (It was really a robot of Fury... or something stupid.)

    Sorry to send it back to Castle, but he was the first person I could recall beating Fury.
