dc20willsave Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Rob Liefeld was the same way with Shatterstar a couple of years ago when Peter David wrote him into a relationship with Rictor. He got up in arms about a character he wrote for like 10 issues being gay. While I'm all for creator's rights, I will say that some characters are allowed to evolve under someone else's care, especially if they're essentially a lifeless caricature of an action hero. Deadpool himself didn't get any of the traits he's famous for (namely the breaking of the fourth wall, the anti-hero persona) until Joe Kelly started writing him 6 years later.

Molly Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Fabian Niceza took what was a terrible Deathstroke ripoff in a recolored Spider-Man Costume and gave him a personality in those first few appearances. Later on, he would be the guy who wrote the outstanding Cable and Deadpool series. He deserves the credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I genuinely like Liefeld's DCnU Hawk & Dove #1, I think his style has gotten somewhat better over the years, and I believe he gets WAY~! too much shit from fanboys (thanks to the still-persistent Wizard Magazine mentality). However, he needs to shut his mouth sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ironically, I think you could probably double that selling them separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wow is right. A Detective #27 sold for over a million in 2010 all by itself. I can't figure out how this lot got so lowballed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ironically, I think you could probably double that selling them separately. I was just thinking that. This was probably way too many high-ticket items in one pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 So, I'm trying to place the first X-Men trade I ever read, and I'm having trouble doing so. It was at the local library, and this was when XMen Evolution was still on TV, so put it between 2000 and 2003, or prior to that. Salient plot points were these: -Cyclops was with Magneto on some island (not sure if it was Genosha or the Savage Land) -the Sentinels attacked -Magneto rewired the Sentinels to attack the humans for vengeance (the phrase "smell the burning flesh of their children" was used) -Apparently this was the point where Cyclops started to have issues -Magneto attempted to execute the President on national TV, and take over America (not sure if he succeeded.) Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Digging around a little, I think you might have read an Ultimate X-Men TPB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Checking the description for Planet X, that's not it unfortunately. And it might've been ultimate XMen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah, it was Ultimate X-Men vol 1. I took a look inside on Amazon and I recognize the art and panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I swear that I have gotten a free preview comic from Valiant in every DCBS shipment for the past six months. How the fuck do they stay in business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The current Humble Book Bundle is Dynamite themed. Also, first issue of Red Sonja is currently free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 So, I took advantage of the Marvel unlimited $.99 first month deal. Suggest me comics that are available that I should read. Safely assume that I have not read it unless it's Hawkeye, Young Avengers, or the run of Deadpool that happened while Norman Osborne was in power and it briefly crossed over with the Thunderbolts. EDIT: That's Secret Invasion/Dark Reign. Oh and Nextwave and the most recent Ms Marvel up to #2 and FrankenCastle. EDIT EDIT: Add most of New XMen and the Whedon XMen run too.

dc20willsave Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Avengers Vol. 3, in particular Kurt Busiek's run. This includes his mini, Avengers Forever. Probably one of my favorite runs. Spider-man Loves Mary Jane. Includes the minis, Mary Jane and Mary Jane: Homecoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
