I thought X-Force was that team Rob Liefield created in the 90s?

That X-force was New Mutants gone dead inside. X-force/ X-statix was extra awesome. Also it wasn't being written by something that escaped out of the devil's butthole like Uncanny was at the time.

I just found a giant stack of comics that I boxed up when I moved, now i'm gonna kick back, turn on the NFL game, and read em all. What a great way to chill after a crappy week!

I'm more amazed Adam Hughes shaved.
Stop cross dressing and go draw All Star Wonder Woman silly pants! You should have plenty of free time since you stopped doing commissions. *trollface*

The previews for Schism 4 only prove what most people knew all along
Wolverine > Cyclops one on one. In that preview alone Cyclops could have been killed so many times.
Or instead of asking for something that isn't needed at all you could I dunno.....read the books or wiki them to catch up and you'll have all of your questions answered?
Novel idea I know.

Pretty sure they both happened at the same time. So like, read one part of one then one part of the other.

Yeah, X-Force/Statix is seriously my favorite thing to ever come out of Marvel. Simply amazing.
Blackest Night first. It's kinda complicated to say why, but that collection has a narrower focus and makes it easy to get the fundamentals of the event. Then the GL one expands outward to cover stuff going on all across the universe, across tons of different characters, etc. and fills in the gaps that the primary book had.Rafa=FedKilla said:
Or look up the issue-by-issue chronology and try that.
I haven't read the GLC collection yet.

Read a chapter from each, then it will actually make sense. There are one or two occasions where there's a cliffhanger in BN that goes right into GL and vice versa. Such a dumb decision to split them in trades.
Dan said:
You need to go issue by issue. GLC isn't as critical, but you should probably read the 3 mainline books (BN, BN:GL, BN:GLC) issue by issue. They split is up really stupidly. It would totally ruin the story.
There are several cases in the BN trade that would make no sense.. a cliffhanger like "Hal, on noes you must do this".. then you go to the next issue and "Oh good, Hal's back, and he did that thing". Because he did it in the Green Lantern trade.
http://collectededitions.blogspot.com/2010/07/blackest-night-trade-reading-order.html
Just go through this list.. it has the individual issue number reading order followed by the trade it is in. The only 3 to really focus on are BN, BN:GL and BN:GLC. The rest are more "hey, what has supes been up to during all of this?" Which is nice, but nothing critical to the story happens.
So a few more thoughts..
1) Batwing - So good. Really really liked it a ton. Great character, love the setting. It feels really fresh. Certainly worth a pick up, and I'll be getting the next few issues for sure.
2) Green Arrow - A lot of fun. Ollie is now James Bond meets Tony Stark with arrows. I've always liked Green Arrow, but I think stuff was just going to wrong for him in the old DCU.. I think the reboot will be great for his character.
3)Static Shock - Enjoyed it. Not sure there is much depth here. We'll see. I do enjoy the character explaining his powers as he uses them. Reminds me of John's writing on Flash in that way. Will probably pull the next issue, but if it doesn't get some more depth to the character or story it will likely stop being pulled simply because I need to cull something from my pull list. Something to be said for a light fun read of course.
4) OMAC - go buy this one. Lots of fun. Insane romp. Probably the most "fun" of any of the books I've pulled so far.
Animal Man, Swamp Thing and Batgirl... STILL can't get these. Argh. I'm on the list for the 3rd printing as the 2nd printing is sold out all over town.

Why does every first issue turning out to be pretty good. And now I don't feel like such a dweeb for getting to my lcs before it opened.

part of the reboot. It's like asking how is Bruce Wayne younger in Batman #1.dream said:
-Pyromaniac-

nope. But I'm sure it has some random reason that her paralysis is gone. Why don't you say what happens. Did she somehow "heal"? Did she relive the joker incident in her memory and caused her to overcome her paralysis or something, lol.FoneBone said:
Just knowing comics I naturally assume it's some weird reason just to get her back to normal for the reboot. But if it's a really good reason, then do tell. Or did they just say she went through rehab (all of a sudden now just in time for the #1) or something.
That's what these reboots do, they find a fast and easy solution to a problem, and go off from there.

Yeah. Really liked it. I liked it much better than the New Avengers Annual but that's also because I didn't like the Annual's artwork.

-Pyromaniac- said:
I read the issue twice and it didn't really tell me...and I have no idea what to read in order to find out.
I did find the timeframe kind of disconcerting. She says the Joker shot her 3 years ago and I was like "but I read The Killing Joke 20 years ago."
another question!
What is the premise of Spider Island and what order should I read it in?
-Pyromaniac-

yeah that's part of the reboot as well. Characters got younger, problems got solved, and they moved timelines back. It starts off 3 years after the killing joke.dream said:

Jackal gives spider-powers to people in NY, next thing you know all these regular people have the powers, then shit pops off basically. I don't remember for sure but I think it starts at issue #666 of amazing spider-man, but it gets pretty complicated with tie-ins with other comics, but 666-670 something (to 673 I think) are the ones you should read. Maybe start at 659/660 to know more.dream said:
Then there are like...10 tie-ins to spider island from various other books like cloak and daggers, avengers, spider-girl, etc...
