Maf Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Oh, and today marks the release of Detective Comics #1000. DC’s second comic to reach a 1000 issues and officially 80 years of Batman “He will become the greatest crime fighter the world has ever known. It won’t be easy” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Look at this amazing variant cover for Action Comics #1007 I’ve already got this comic ordered but I’m honestly thinking about buying this version of it as well. That is a beautiful piece of art. Yeah, bought it. I have to have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phalanx Covenant is a good story, but you need to read the whole thing and this collection only has a couple [out of context] parts to it. The rest? Let's just say X-Force, prior to Rick Remender's series, was never required reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Oh my god I just found an artist called Iban Coello whoI have never heard of before but ? He drew Amazing Spider-Man 16.HU which I just read ? Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Go-Bots #5 (of 5) Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! This is how you end a mini-series on a high. After exploring just about every facet of Go-Bot lore, Tom Scioli incorporates one final tidbit into the mix, the real-life historical relevance of the series itself. Alongside a wry, yet welcome piece of 4th wall breaking humour in the finale too. This series couldn't have been any better and in my opinion, exceeding all expectations. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I don’t know if this is new or not but - Conan the Barbarian becomes part of the Marvel Universe?! The Hand has teamed up with the evil wizards of the Hyborian Age to summon a death god from a celestial hell. The only thing standing between Earth and destruction is the Savage Avengers: Conan, Wolverine, Punisher and Voodoo. I wasn’t going to buy this but... Fuck it sounds so stupid I think I need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 They did this idea already... Plus WTF does Conan The Barbarian bring to the Modern Day Marvel Universe? You keep him in the Hyborian Age and bring characters to his time. Otherwise he is just Ka-Zar with a sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I’ll give them that Savage Avengers is a new theme at least for Avengers. X-Force is a closer analogy. But it is fucking stupid. Stupid to the point where I might have to see it. Side note people are raving over Jason Aaron’s run on Conan at Marvel right now which I didn’t pick up at all because I don’t know anything about or care about Conan. But now I might need to pick up the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Conan is another thing that Disney poached from Dark Horse, like Star Wars. I don't really rate Jason Aaron as a writer but I really liked the DH series. I used to buy the occasional Conan mini series Marvel put out in the 90's too, so I might wait for a trade. This, although not part of Marvel canon, is a good place to start if you're interested in getting into Conan @Maf. An origin story that tells you everything you need to know about the character and the world he lives in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 So I read this last month, but rereading it now to catch up on Venom and this series is crazy. Like it holds no bars with retconning stuff but I think it makes Venom a way better character than he has ever been (At least when they try to do more with him than just a crazy Spider-Man villain). Anyway, this is really worthy of the spoiler tag stuff but I have to post these images because this really surprised me first time I read it and on a second go I still have massive respect for it Spoiler This is one of those times where having the physical copy of the book in your hands makes it even better because you turn the page to...whoa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
