OFFICIAL COMIC BOOK THREAD

[Master Zik]

Yea I might read female Thor next. The last I left off, it was revealed she was Foster. Don't know if they had an issue since..?

Plenty since.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

On the DC side, you can read Superman Unchained as its a limited run of like 12 issues and is perfect as a standalone good Superman story without any tacked on continuity

Grant Morrison's Action Comics run, Flash vol 3 by Geoff Johns and Manapul, and all of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern work starting with Green Lantern Rebirth.

Actually I think Geoff Johns' Green Lantern series might be my favorite thing ever. It plays out like a space opera epic that concludes magnificently with Blackest Night

 

[seandon23]

Can't go wrong with Mark Waid really

If you're just looking to read some good Marvel books I would also suggest Grant Morrison's X-Men (New X-Men, it was called?), Secret Wars, the original Ultimates and Ultimates 2, the most recent Miles Morales series, the Vision, and the last two runs of female Thor (which is my favorite Marvel series right now)

If you want to read some good DC you're gonna have to go back a couple years

DC has some good stuff Snyder's run on Batman, the entire run of Grayson by Seeley and Tom King, Titans Hunt, Omega Men, Superman: American Alien, and the Superman: Lois and Clark by Dan Jurgens are good too

Reading ANADA volume 1 right now.. Nice so far.

The two chicks were arguing about their favorite heroes and one said 'What do you have against Wolverine? She's awesome!'

I was like, hold up.. That's a typo. Then I realized how shoot, forgot that they gender bended Wolverine.

I'm cool with gender bending Thor.. I'm even excited about the new Iron Man.

But Wolverine? Idk. Wolverine a chick is not for me.

*edit

The Nova/Ms Marvel teeny boppy romance thing is kinda cute

Yooooo...Jupiter Legacy has to be one of the best comics I've ever read in MY LIFE. I"m blown away. 

  It's on the pedestal of Uncanny X-Men for me.

Went into a local store for Jupiter Legacy vol. 2 and someone came in hours before and brought the whole series SMDH

Going to try one more place tomorrow. 

Lazarus isn't that bad...enjoying it also.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

They're different than Jupiter's Legacy, but some other Mark Millar mini-series I love are Superior and Super Crooks. Superior is about a sick kid who wishes for super powers, but it comes with a catch. Without spoiling anything. It's like a modern Shazam with a weird twist. Super Crooks is basically Ocean's 11 with super villains.

Finished ANADA Vol 1 way too fast.

I want more... that's it for now?

Like I said just cop all of the Millarworld books when you get around to it Back of the book advertises them.

Yeah, digital is too convienent and is a threat to local print shops so they have to give print more incentives so digital lags behind.

Also if you buy print of Marvel copies you get free digital codes.

 

[everysingletime]

Do they already have the entire CW 2 arc in a bundle for print?

 

[ronaldcinho]

Do they already have the entire CW 2 arc in a bundle for print?

no it's only like 3 issues deep right now if I'm not mistaken....not counting the tie ins of course. the trade paperback should be out round october most likely.

0, 1, 2

Wolverine switch was actually done in a lot better way, and not random at all, like the Thor Foster way.

Digital releases same time as print if your buying individual issues, Marvel unlimited is 6 months behind though.

Either way you said last issue was when you see Jane Foster as Thor? Issue 8 sounds right then, but that was before Secret Wars, after Secret Wars the series you want is The Mighty Thor, which continues with Jane. You may or may not want to read the Secret Wars main book before, and/or the [Battleworld]Thors mini that ran with that.

Also come fall The Unworthy Thor is releasing, which will follow Odinson again, while Jane's story will continue in her own book.

The fact that it took this long to explain why Thor is unworthy makes it look like they decided to make Thor a woman before having a story and a reason.

I like X-23, but you know Logan's going to eventually come back for his mantle and then she won't be Wolverine anymore. I think she'll be fine and will successfully carry over, but for the other ANAD diversity stand-in's, they might fade into obscurity without their own persona to identify with and we'll be back to square one with less diverse characters again.

I still think Blindspot is one of the dopest characters to come from Marvel recently and he deserves to get his own solo eventually. His persona is completely his own and he's been introduced to the world in another popular characters book so he wouldn't just get thrown out there with no familiarity. It would also add a mainstay minority character who isn't just a band-aid.

 

[Master Zik]

I don't know what ppl got against a mystery. Mad impatient cats. I liked that it hasn't been revealed yet.

Also how is clone of Wolverine with some added female chromosome a better way than somebody else is worthy and is now Thor? Just bringing up that he has a female clone is completely random. Its just you can look past that cuz it was a real good story told for her origin.

Keeping in mind Marvel has done the somebody is worthy several times before

Clones will always be a convoluted mess. I mean it's another part of the Weapon program that still happen to have Wolverine DNA.

Also I wouldn't be so sure Logan is coming back any time soon. Especially if the current Wolverine keeps selling well. They've killed Jean Grey and she been dead since the 2000s. Cyclops is dead and they look fine giving fans a time displaced Cyke in the shadow of his evil older self.

As for Thor, this whole thing has been planned by Jason Aaron. Its his story. I kinda find it laughable he doesn't have a plan cuz he must've had it when he started since he's been foreshadowing all of this as he went on. All of Marvel has been foreshadowing it really. From Thor losing his arm, to the future Jane Thor in Hickman's Avengers, to hinting Thor would become unworthy in the solo.

After All-New Wolverine, I think an X-23 ongoing would sell EASILY. When Logan comes back and regains the Wolverine moniker, they'll have that on the racks alongside it for the Wolvey fans to buy including the ones that didn't buy All-New Wolverine.

Logan coming back would sell like hot cakes. That coupled with X-23's increased fanbase and Marvel's printing money.

 

[Master Zik]

Given how Logan changed leading up to his death I could see them giving him the book with another name

Same way Thor now gets The Unworthy Thor The same way Miles Morales has the title of just Spider-Man.

Marvel mess around and give us the Savage Patch title or to link back with how he died another Weapon X series.

Wouldn't say all that, but the secret has dragged on at this point though. At this point let's just hope the secret comes off better than the decision in Original Sin to have Nick Fury become the "man on the wall" and that none of Thor's legacy is messed with as a result of it. Also hope to see dual-wield the hammer and the ax.

I'm assuming the "Unworthy" thing will be explained for Thor, since he became Worthy again as part of the conclusion to Hickman's Avengers.

Actually with Doom becoming Iron Man, plus the female Iron Man, Unworthy Thor, and Sam Wilson still around as Captain America even though Steve is back (Granted, Steve just really got back to fighting form), i'm not sure that Marvel would be in any rush to resurrect Wolverine, especially when Old Man Logan is running around. Seems like they want as many legacy characters as possible at the moment to change their status quo. Though I also feel that people will be returning more to their classic forms as the MCU starts putting out more films, though this doesn't really effect the X-Men and their corner of the universe.

I meant in terms of how it transitions from X-23 to wolverine, it wasn't just overnight. X-23 has been around for 10+ years, has significant training and experience. She then got trained/mentored more by Wolverine himself to be a hero. Then the whole death of wolverine build up. I didn't read the "Wolveriens" series last year, so can't say much on that. But then she officially was Wolverine when ANAD started.

In comparison with Thor, it was a page or so of Nick Fury telling Thor he was unworthy. Then suddenly later we have a female Thor flying around. Later revealed to be Jane Foster. Laura became Wolverine over a decades worth of time, Jane became Thor overnight. Not that X-23 was planned to be wolverine for a decade, but her story was already molded for that transition to happen if the editors decided to.


I'm not saying its bad storywise, cause well we still haven't seen it play out completely(and I haven't even read it all). But it happened too quick and randomly with two snaps of the editors fingers.

Where would I go if I want to buy individual issues digital release that are current?

Comixology, marvel.com, amazon, google play store.

The first three can all be linked and all your purchases will be readable on comixology site/app. Google will some time have some deals, and only things I own there are TWD purchases I got when they had super discounts on the trades during walking dead premiers and finales.

Laura has been a round for ages tho. Her stepping into Logan's spot after his death is natural for me. Go read some All New Wolverine.

And being Thor overnight isn't a jump. You just gotta be worthy to hold the hammer. No training is needed.

 

[everysingletime]

All in all, I think ANADA would be an excellent way of ushering in a new slate of movies. Ej. Rather than just recasting the characters as their original, white, versions. I would be ALL for it.

 

[jays25]

Laura becoming Wolverine is like Nightwing/Robin becoming Batman or Superboy becoming Superman, probably making more sense than any other transition. She's literally a clone of the original, designed to replace him and trained by him to boot.

 

[Master Zik]

I didn't see much wrong with revealing Nick Fury was the man on the wall wiping out and assassinating alien threats to Earth for most of the time he was SHIELD director cuz at the same time he's been wiping out, fighting, and killing threats to America and Earth domestically. That the greatest spy kept it a secret so t a surprise.

How he killed Uatu wasn't handled the best though. Punishment opens the door to new things while his son Furys it up on Earth.

I get what you're saying here but it's not like her story was to inevitably make her Wolverine.

It just ended up that way. Wolverines and that other mini after his death had some possible choices to replace him like his son.

With Thor, Jason Aaron didn't have years to build up Jane Foster as the new Thor. Dude told a great year+ long worth of stories hinting at impending unworthiness. There was no build up to Jane cuz just like why Thor is unworthy who was the new Thor was a mystery at first for a few beginning issues but she was a candidate all the same the entire time.
