I have no idea how anyone can call WatXM "fucked".
Unless they had a strange hatred of Chris Bachalo, that is.

ugh, stupid fighting. I know comics are constantly recycling and retconning but The Avengers all pretty much killed them fucking selves to deal with Onslaught so long ago while mutants got to sit back and watch, so any of this supposed bad blood is just so forced given decades of history that says otherwise.
This is a truly terrible 'event'. It better get a whole lot more story to it with Wanda hopefully showing up and when Namek explodes, I mean, the Phoenix arrives.
The Rachel and Iceman thing just seemed like too much a betrayl of trust and disrespect there to just have them slot in fine afterwards. Its put a dampener on the fun atmosphere the book had going forward, and then the Rogue/Gambit side of things that havent even popped up in WatXM before just swanning off as well.
Combined with UXF this week, it just seemed a bit of a "everybody leaves Wolvie's team" epidemic. I hope he at least leaves the Avengers or something in kind.
Did they?

Yes, they did, speaking strictly from the pages of WatXM 10. Did you read the issue? The entire issue was worthless. The entire issue-long conversation between Cyclops and Wolverine was 100% pointless. No one's motivations were made less dumbfounding. Cyke presented no reason whatsoever that anybody should go join his cause and yet at the end a bunch of people decide to leave for no reason. It was a terrible issue and it's because of AvX.

After watching the amazing Avengers movie, my girlfriend became interested in reading some avengers comics. Are there any Avengers graphic novels/tpbs from over the years you guys would recommend? Any cool monthly series from the last few years that would be easy to get into?
Did Marvel ever collect Busiek's Avengers run from the late 90s? Gosh that was a good comics era: Busiek Avengers and Thunderbolts, Morrison on JLA...
Their motivations make total sense. Cyclops was drawing the line in the sand once and for all. After this there can't be divided loyalties. Time is up.
Cyclops is marching off to his doom and the doom of all X-Men (maybe). Iceman says the followed Wolverine because he needed them there. Iceman, Rachel and the gang were serving out loyalty to Xavier's dream. They never stopped being family despite being divided on this issue. Now, Cyclops is about to go up against something nobody but Hope could possibly defeat. Right or wrong they are going to help their friend survive.
As a wise man once said "The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong."
I know they did a reprint recently of his first two story arcs, the third one should be out this month according to Amazon.

edit: Actually the first TPB covers his first 12 issues, and the second one has 12-23, O, ANNUAL '99, 1 ROUGH CUT.
Could you have used it on ipad/tablet?
EDIT: since it's a new page i'm gonna recommend
Hardcover of the one shot came out today
Great stuff from Ennis with Amanda Connor art!
Cap's plan is pretty sound actually compared to Cyke's.I'm talking about the motivations of ANYONE during this event. Captain America's "plan" is fucking retarded. Cyclops' "plan" is retarded. Nobody has a clue what the Phoenix force even wants or what it's going to do when it gets here but that doesn't stop everybody from drawing bullshit lines and punching each other like a bunch of stupid comic book characters. The entire setup for this event is stupid and pointless and I wouldn't even care if it stayed in the AvX books and left my comics alone but now I'm dealing with this same crap in WatXM and it's upsetting me. I can only hope this turns into another Schism where the setup and execution was amateur bullshit but it lead to something great anyways.
Ghost Rider is now a mexican girl?
What in the hell?
Up into recently, where her series was cancelled and Johnny Blaze was given back the powers of Ghost Rider.

Well, tomorrow is the day. So I've been talking about getting into comics, but I wasn't aware that there was any sort of shop around me that sold them. Little did I know, there's a gaming/comic/cool nerdy stuff shop right by where I commute to everyday, and since tomorrow are finals, after I take my last couple of tests, and then workout, I'm going to unwind and relax the rest of the day by reading a comic or two.
My only problem is that I have no idea what they carry, and I have no idea what I want to start with. I honestly can't remember a superhero universe or character(s) I didn't like, be it from film or video game, except for like the Fantastic 4. So my only roadblock is that I have no idea where to start. A comic that is a little unorthadox that has caught my eye is Demon Knights. I like the aestetic and I'm a sucker for that type of fantasy stuff. The art looks really cool. My only real hesitation is that, do I really want that to be like my first series? With all these amazing superhero collections that have built up reputations over the years, do I really want to start a new hobby with that?
Not sure yet, but I'll definitely update after it happens tomorrow. Should at least be interesting.
marvel comics baddest bitch
It's not a bad start, especially since it's rather self contained and sets up the characters involved nicely, and is a very solid, enjoyable book.
If you can find it, Saga from Image just started last month, your shop might have or can order the first issue for you. It's a sci-fi "epic" from Brian K Vaughan and is definitely " new hobby starter" worthy.
Shit...why did I post my story when everyone was posting hot chick pics? Shitty timing. XD
Sienkiewicz is the shit
Just received this via Amazon.

as much as i want everyone to read Chew (and you can't beat $25 bucks for 25 issues) - this is one series i'll be buying tpbs or hardcovers for. it's only supposed to run 60 issues total and assuming the second half is as good as the first, this'll be one for the ages.

so... she's a ghetto hawkeye?
*trollface*
You indirectly convinced me to just use my $20 Amazon credit and buy the first few books off there. As convenient as the iPad would be, it was a fantastic first issue, and I'd really love to keep it on my shelves.
E: Weird one, but has anyone read "Complete Alice in Wonderland"? I'm a huge fan of the movie, and the art looks pretty awesome...
^LOL
you might like Warren Ellis' and Stuart Immonen's Nextwave.
Also Mark Waid's Daredevil, Scott Snyder's Batman, and Wolverine and the X-Men by some dude whose name I don't remember
awesme, glad i could sell you on it. having them in physical form also lets you really notice all the little jokes drawn in the backgrounds.
Cool, thanks. I think I said it before, but I really do appreciate all the advice given here. It's definitely a bit less daunting knowing what I'm getting into now.
