SuaveStar Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Before I heap my praise. As Ms. Marvel draws towards its 50th and final issue, one plot thread I never thought would be resolved was the invitation for a data Peter Parker extended to Carol. Well, color me wrong, 'cause here it is. Mike, did you mean date? Also, I'm not sure about this: When one thinks about all the women Peter has, has tried to, and should date, Did you mean to have has twice? Both are from your Ms Marvel review. Also, Mike, your review of Iron Man was awesome, it really felt like a contender for review of the year to me, as you did something that I can't say has been done before, you made me want to get that book. Cause, not only is it Marvel, which I don't read, not only is it Iron Man, who besides the movie, I couldn't give a shit about, but it's a $3.99 comic! Next time I'm in a comic shop, I'm picking that up. JSA: I read an issue of Sturges/Willinghams JSA, the first one, and really, I hated it, so I'm not bothering. Green lantern: Waiting for the blackest night hardcover for the issues. Creepy: The price tag is putting me off, but if it comes out collected for around 14 pounds, I would give it a shot. Die Hard year 1: I really didn't know what they'd achieve from that crap concept, except to sell to fans of Die Hard the movie. FF: Where's Dale Eaglesham? Is this a fill in book, I'm guessing. Lone Ranger: I just don't care enough to even acknowledge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Mike, did you mean date? I did. Thanks for catching that. Also, I'm not sure about this: When one thinks about all the women Peter has, has tried to, and should date, Did you mean to have has twice? Both are from your Ms Marvel review. That one isn't a mistake. I was limiting the number of times I wrote the word "date," so read it as "When one thinks about all the women Peter has dated, has tried to date, and should date..." Also, Mike, your review of Iron Man was awesome, it really felt like a contender for review of the year to me, as you did something that I can't say has been done before, you made me want to get that book. Cause, not only is it Marvel, which I don't read, not only is it Iron Man, who besides the movie, I couldn't give a shit about, but it's a $3.99 comic! Next time I'm in a comic shop, I'm picking that up. Awesome! Glad I motivated you to try something new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've only read the first six issues of Iron Man like you Mike, but I'm going to go back and pick up the ones I've missed after that review. Also, I probably should have warned you that Lone Ranger is the definition of decompressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 What you might want to do is wait for that 19-issue collection coming out in March. It's normally $40, but DCBS is selling it for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 "Reddick and Sims" as abbreviated author forms make me think you both more as a music hall double act! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 It brings to mind a hip hop act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I was thinking more 40s comedy duo. As in, Reddick and Sims meet Frankenstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 It brings to mind a hip hop act. The only hip hop these two come close to is breaking their hips resulting in them hopping. I think the black and white comedy duo idea works. Reddick and Sims Rise Again!, Reddick and Sims Grand Day Out and Reddick and Sims On The Run!

Chadzilla Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nice to know that Joe R. Lansdale has a story in Creepy #2, thus forcing me to spend more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Right, Mike, I went to the comic shop today and picked up Invincible Iron Man #20 on the strength of your review. I like the recap thing at the back of the issue and flipping through it, I like the art. Will post my thoughts when I've read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Right, I picked up Iron Man, and I liked it. It was really good, and the recap caught me up to date, Pepper having the thing in her chest was explained which was one of my questions. I already picked up issue 21 and am going to get the comic through 25 then go off to trades after that, when the story is finished. Anyway, Mike you just got me to pick up a new monthly comic. Also, they had balls to have three pages of just Stark talking to the camera, and it kept me interested, Red Robin #1 did that for one page and I was thinking how annoy and useless it was there, and Fraction did it right. Good art and I'm interested in the story, and I could almost hear Williem Dafoe when Osborn was talking in the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Glad I turned you on to a new book! As a heads up, #21 is good, but not as good as the previous issue. That said, it does a great job setting up more story elements, and it continues the anger Pepper feels over Tony's pending return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
