Nick Bradshaw's cover to Action Comics #989:

Get the homage?

 

[Pachimari]

I'm currently reading through the Infinity event to get to know the Black Order more, but which comic books were the Avengers: Infinity War movie likely to adapt or be based on? Was it Infinity Gauntlet from 1991, and Infinity War from 1992?

 

[shingi70]

Greg Ruckas Wonder Woman was underwhelming to say the least. The Irgun story was great but the present day stuff outside of the Liam sharpe art really fell flat, especially near the end.

I'm glad all the other writers seem to be ignoring his present day stuff in the same way he felt the need to steam roll over the new 52 stuff and fuck with other books.

Most likely Thanos Quest and Infinity Gauntlet.

I have yet to read Infinity War but from what I've heard it's yet another case of them taking a cool title from a mediocre comic and doing their own thing with it.

Kid Amazo was in Super Sons as well IIRC.

Spoiler

I know. That's what I'm talking about. I don't remember him living/escaping after all of that

.

Always.

I still can't believe DC even fathomed killing him once.

DiDio gon DiDio

6 Characters To Watch During Dark Nights: Metal

6 Characters To Watch During Dark Nights: Metal

Interesting list.

 

[Pachimari]

So after I'm done with Infinity (2013). I will read:

- Thanos' Quest (1990)
- Infinity Gauntlet (1991)
- Infinity War (1992)
- Infinity Crusade (1993)

To get most of Thanos, the gauntlet and all what comes with it.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Good luck on Infinity Crusade.

 

[Pachimari]

I just wanna skip out on the bad runs, that will turn me off comics. So I guess I'll skip Infinity Crusade.

 

[AbundantChoice]

I just wanna skip out on the bad runs, that will turn me off comics. So I guess I'll skip Infinity Crusade.

Infinity war is also nowhere near as good as Infinity Gauntlet. You could probably just read Quest and Gauntlet and just stop there.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I would skip War too. A lot of the stuff that might be reference will be in Infinity, Thanos Quest, and Infinity Gauntlet.

Check out the Thanos book that ended right as Annihilation started. It's pretty alright.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Have the latest Superman and Action books to catch up on, but I liked everything else this week. Good Flash issue and the first post-Rucka Wonder Woman issue was fun.

Hoping for a nice Comic Con sale to add to my ridiculous backlog.

Did you see the design Porter did of Old Man Barry that went unused?

 

[Tragicomedy]

I like that. Old Man Barry is a storyline I'd read.

 

[LordOfLore]

I like that. Old Man Barry is a storyline I'd read.

Yeah, we've had so many Old Man Clark, Bruce, Oliver and Hal stories that seeing Barry in one would be cool.

 

[Tragicomedy]

The art in Superman #26 is dodgy as hell. One panel is serviceable, then the next is pure trash. Not a good look for the book. Superman looks 60 in one panel, and Jon could pass for thirty in another.

Comicsbeat: What Is Marvel Saying?

We wanted to write something positive this week. Really we did. But then you start telling people that you want your business to point out when things are garbage and something happens to counter your brand.

So now there’s this.

 

[Wanderer5]

Live action panel is going to start soon at D23 expo. Get ready for the Marvel goods!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Freeza I forgot to send you my September list. It's at home and I am now on holidays for 3 weeks. I am sorry to have failed you. We will now be behind on OTs and you will receive October's list before September. Apologies.

I was wondering why you hadn't sent a September list. But it's not like I was sad because I had no work to do. Don't bother with sending the October list before September though, as I'm not touching anything before September is done.

Did you spot the Silver Surfer delays on the final issues btw?

Of course he didn't. He waits until a day just before the OT is supposed to go up to tell me those things. :3

Comicsbeat: What Is Marvel Saying?

Good read. It's pretty much saying Marvel has no idea what they're doing, which is pretty much what we've known for some time now. It feels like everything went kaput after Secret Wars.

 

[LordOfLore]

Hope you aren't tired of "the best captain" stepping up to lead 616.

 

[TetraxShards]

Hope you aren't tired of "the best captain" stepping up to lead 616.

How are they getting to Captain Marvel #125? Wasn't #100 just last year?

This numbering thing is not going well at all.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

When we will find out that Carol is secretly a Russian spy?

Marvel doesn't even know what to do. Quesada be at creative meetings like:

When we will find out that Carol is secretly a Russian spy?

THAT, I would actually want to read about.

 

[Wanderer5]

Got a Lego loki key chain at the LEGO SMH2 booth heh.

Also, I love that quite a bit of the UI is comic like.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I think most comic book companies now need better PR people.

Surely not Image. They handled that Chaykin fiasco quite well. /s

 

[dh4niel]

I have achieved almost perfect equilibrium between Marvel and DC OHCs in volume. Feels right.

That's pretty damn fine, my dude. Well done.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Surely not Image. They handled that Chaykin fiasco quite well. /s

And no Variant cover promise.

 

[TetraxShards]

"quite well"

I know, sarcasm, but still.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I know, sarcasm, but still.

The problem was that A) the cover was definitely in poor taste, and B) it was Howard Chaykin. And they decided to double-down on supporting him.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Hm, four cloaked Statues at the Marvel Event at D23
Fantastic Four Love at the Kirby Tribute
The Entertainment Weekly Guy tweeting about the Infinity Gauntlet in Avengers 3 beeing so powerful, that it can open doors to other superhero dimensions...


Guys. Its happening.

Nah, it's just going to be their way of pulling in an alternate Iron Man.

The biggest cocktease in Marvel history? Yup.

Comicsbeat: What Is Marvel Saying?

Can't argue with most of this.

Everyone should be upset about this kind of marketing – and no, Marvel isn’t the only company currently partaking, they’re just the company that’s currently drowning. Pre-Rebirth, that was DC, and the way that these things tend to be cyclical, it will one day be them again.

 

[LordOfLore]

Damn, I had forgotten this was happening.

 

[dh4niel]

Where's the leaked D23 footage at?

 

[Vic_Viper]

The book is actually getting me a bit hyped for the show. But Jesus FUCK I don't give a single shit about Diamondback. Boring-ass villain is boring.

LOL. When does the Defenders book even take place!? It has to be before Secret Empire with that

Spoiler

Punisher

appearance in issue 3 right?

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

It appears that Bendis is trying to redeem Black Cat.

Revisiting Carol's origins...great.

Yeah, I can definitely see that.

You quoted the wrong post, tho. :3

Isn't this the 3rd time they tweaked her origin?

She is the Hawkman of Marvel at this point.

That was back in 2014 lol.

Soon Marvel is going to start needing to use wormholes and alternate realities to explain their numbering methods.
