Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
When the Clone Saga is remember more fondly than... that story, then you know you fucked up.
It really does feel at times that there's too many hacks in comic books. At least with the big corporate books. Creator-owned stories enjoy the freedom manga writers get.

Nah next up is Berserk Babies. Imagine Muppet Babbies but way more fucked up.

I'd watch that.

There's a fair amount of freedom these days, except when it comes to Spider-man. He's not allowed to even look at Mary Jane, let alone be in the same room with her alone, at this point.

I'm scared to ask, but what did Spidey do to Mary Jane?

One More Day
Unless something else happened.
Can't wait until the 90's kids take over Marvel and bring back Peter and MJ's marriage since that's what they grew up with. And then the kids from this generation will take over and fuck it all up over again, and it will keep going until 2099 actually does happen.

They got magically divorced a while back and the current writer is a fan of the pairing. He's spent like half his run trying to finagle them back together only to have editorial shoot it down every time, to the point where they actually carted her off to an Ironman book last year.

Even getting literally married doesn't stop Peter from having to deal with shallow romance drama bullshit.

He lives an awful life.

Goku once again proves that he knows what he is doing vis a vis fighting and training people. It's frankly stupefying how much better he is at it than any other character on the show (until Super with Freezer)

Modern Reed is tons better than silver-age Reed. He's got like the one stable relationship in comics and no one can mess with it because Reed, Sue, and all the kids are off exploring the multiverse where no writer can touch them.

Modern Sue is also crazy awesome. She's one of the last people you want to fuck with.

Didn't Dark Age Reed Richards tend to become a psycho because of how weird Silver Age Reed was? Especially in alternate universes. (Well, then again, it was the Dark Age.)

Glad to hear he's gotten better.

Doesn't stop people from trying bang sue storm but it's them and Luke Cage and Jessica they may go through hard times and breaks but they are the only ones allowed to stay together

Silver Age Reed was an asshole though so was Spider-Man was written by Dikto at the time and was an objectivist at a time and there is superdickery

Only 616-Reed is a good guy. The rest of the Reeds either conquered their universes; turned into super-villains; or joined the Council of Reeds, left their families behind, mentally castrated their Dooms, unilaterally began making decisions on behalf of multiple universes to make them better, and died to mad Celestials angry at their interference.

You guys really should read Hickman's Fantastic Four run, shit was crazy.

Actually it has because she's no longer available to appear in any books. Editorial literally took them off the table after Secret Wars until someone could come up with a story worthy of bringing them back.

Clone Saga was a great idea. A great idea that would never work because the fans would never accept it. Then they kept extending it out further and further, and when they finally ended it they did it by doing the one thing they should never ever do, and ever since then every major thing to go wrong with 616 Spider-Man has led back to that moment. It's staggering in scope and the only thing that even remotely sniffs at it is the course of the X-Men since House of M, or maybe the end of Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men. It really depends on where you want to throw your hat on the matter. I'd go House of M every time. It basically ruined all future Marvel events involving Mutants.

I'm a happier person now that I don't follow Marvel at all and barely keep in with DC.

616 Richard's is still a colossal dick bag and a borderline Super Villain. Pym is around to make him not be the biggest shit head in Marvel Super Science.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I could really get into DC or Marvel now, given their inconsistent quality. Alternate universes and self-contained runs might be better, but still.

More interested in more independent stuff, like Hellboy.

Marvel has basically brought back Spider-Man into the fold. Realized they can't win with X-Men. Fantastic Four though? They are absolutely trying to snuff out the First Family and make Fox give them back by any means necessary.

I haven't gotten around to reading it (though I should), but I really like Mike Mignola's art.
Was more talking about books outside of Big Two but yeah you should if you are you probably need to post a suggestion in the comics thread and wait for the biggest Mignola fanboy on the thread to reply and give suggestions

it all depends who's writing it, these comics usually don't have the advantage of being written by one person so there can be a lot of inconsistencies in quality and whatnot

I learned early on to just follow creators and nothing else

Too simplistic for me and comics.

Some really talented people just don't understand how certain characters tick. Other times really great writers only get short runs because the character is so lame that no one buys after issue 3 and the thing gets cancelled before it gets anywhere.

Characters matter.

i love going back to a game i love after a long time of not playing it.

Hey, I've been going shopping lately, and I'm not sure whether to buy Clorox or Oxiclean. What do you guys recommend?
