Slayven, when did Aquaman get the water hand?

 

[Slayven]

ok. Was asking because I saw this announcement.

Also, is there a good Green Lantern comic that does not include Hal Jordan, Sinestro or Geoff Johns?

Kyle Ryner is a thing, best llantern ever

Why hasn't anyone made a Grifter movie?

Actually I think it would be a good movie, like a Jason Bourne/John Wick with super powers

Slay, if you could put together a perfect 7 member team of X-Men, Avengers, and Justice League, what would the rosters look like?

Avengers:
Captain America
Thor
Ironheart
Spectrum
Jennifer Kale
Atlas
Bride of 9 Spiders

X-men:
Cyclop
Rogue
Beast
Jubliee
Polaris
Exiles Mimic
Darkstar

Justice League
Superman
Martian Manhunter
Wonder Woman
Nightwing
Blue Beetle
Zatanna
Jade

Slayven, when did Aquaman get the water hand?

Aquaman (Volume 6) #1 2003

 

[ArgyleReptile]

The water hand was so fucking cool.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Yo Slayven or any comics and manga expert, who are the Western comics version of Ichigo, Itachi, and Guts? Similar powersets and all?

There are plenty of magic swords

Korvus and the Blade of the Phoenix are close

Funky eye powers? Sleepwalker

Never read Berserk

 

[MrToughPants]

Sleepwalker #1, I had that along with Darkhawk #1!

 

[Slayven]

Sleepwalker #1, I had that along with Darkhawk #1!

You were blessed

 

[Spladam]

Just curious, why did you not include Wolverine in your 7 member X-Man team?

I went by what i thought would be interesting character wise and utility. Never cared for Wolverine in a team setting.

 

[Silav101]

Would you recommend reading Sandman and Lucifer? I don't want to buy the boxed sets as it were, and regret my purchase.

 

[Spladam]

He is the tortured loner. Excellent line-up you came up with though.

 

[LordOfLore]

Aquaman (Volume 6) #1 2003

Oh, that's the run DC are putting out a second collection of, right? Might need to grab that.

 

[Slayven]

yes

He is the tortured loner. Excellent line-up you came up with though.

That shit is tired and better done with other characters

Oh, that's the run DC are putting out a second collection of, right? Might need to grab that.

It's 5 bucks on Amazon

 

[whatsinaname]

The are the greatest. I think Sandman is available on Scribd. Maybe you can try it via their free trial to see if it's for you?

 

[BKatastrophe]

He is the tortured loner. Excellent line-up you came up with though.

Except for the part where he keeps being a mentor and teammate.

Eventually the loner shtick has to go.

 

[Platy]

Sandman is the best comic ever written for me ... so yeah I would say I recommend xD

So my question is .... I am in the mood for some comic iron fist since the netflix adaptation sux at adapting the character.
Does Iron Fist have some closed story in the style of Batman year One or Long Halloween ?

Slayven, when did Aquaman get the water hand?

There is a pretty cool video about aquaman's lack of hand here :

[Tater Tot]

slayven what should I eat for my cheat meal?

 

[Sephzilla]

Slayven, would the Venom symbiote be able to take over Wolverine or would Wolverine's healing factor reject the symbiote?

 

[LordOfLore]

Slayven, would the Venom symbiote be able to take over Wolverine or would Wolverine's healing factor reject the symbiote?

Marvel answered this recently:

This is for the Fall event. Venom!Laura is getting her own one-shot.

 

[IrishNinja]

so I never finished busiek/Perezs avengers run, what happened to triathalon or whatever dudes name was?
man, some of Iron Man's anti team diversity stuff must not age so well

 

[Platy]

Venon Ghost Riders sounds wrong

 

[Dalek]

Mr. Slayven-who is stronger: Luke Cage or Captain America?

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Ooh, ooh Mr. Slayven! What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?

Mr. Slayven! Who would win in a fight:

Richard Rider or Hal Jordan?

 

[akira28]

Neither. They would both see how much they had in common, and instantly start making out.

that's not the comic you expected to read, now is it?

 

[Slayven]

I would give it to Hal, Dick is pretty stupid

 

[Gattsu25]

I want to catch up on Jessica Jones before the Defenders.

I picked up the Alias omnibus however should I read that or watch the "Alias" TV series first?

I would say watch the tv show first

 

[Gattsu25]

I would say watch the tv show first

Okay, looking into it, that show called "Alias" has nothing to do with Marvel does it?

So you recommend: Netflix's Jessica Jones show --> Alias Jessica Jones Omnibus?

I've already seen the Netflix series and for whatever reason assumed the 2001 TV series was related. So I guess I'll start on the Omnibus now.

Nah the Jennifer Garner thing has nothing to do with Marvel, except it made Marvel change the name of Jessica Jones second series

 

[BLOODED_hands]

That's what I figured, lol.

What's faster? Instant Teleportation/Transportation or Speed Force? If you had to choose one over the other, which would you choose?

Yes this is basically a who is faster between Goku vs Flash, lol

The comic has an extremely different structure from the show, whereas the show is very plot driven, the comic is entirely procedural arcs with a continuous personal arc in the background.

That's what I figured, lol.

Goku's instant transmission is basically a Speed Force power, because if I'm remembering correctly, he basically turns into light? Speed Force can break lightspeed.

Speed force, Wally has out ran teleportation several times.

 

[Jonogunn]

Have you have ever a lettuce wrapped burger?

 

[Wiseblade]

Dub mistranslation. Instant Transmission takes no time at all outside of Goku finding a target. In that time though, the Flash has already ran wherever Goku is going and back because Speed Force is broken.

 

[mjc]

Would it be inaccurate to say that current Flash is the most OP character in DC Comics? There's shades of Superman pre-CoIE, but even beyond that thanks to the speedforce.

Didn't know that was a mistranslation. So basically, if he can visualize it/physically see itc he can go there?

Not the most. Once you break into the godsphere, shit gets weird. But Wally West is one of the most broken characters, given how he has almost complete and total mastery of the Speed Force, which is broken.

Superboy Prime is basically Golden Age Superman levels of power, and if I recall, he punched his way out of the Speed Force (and hates and fears Speedsters because of it).

You have a lot of other entities as well, but a Speed Force master is way up there. I mean, they can basically use a living dimension comprised of energy however the fuck they want

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Does Speed Force work underwater or is that dominated by Aquaman?

 

[whatsinaname]

Slayven, have you read Roy Thomas' second Dr Strange run? Any opinions?

Yes that is the lead up to the War of Seven Spheres, God Tier Strange stuff, also see if you can get the one after it

 

[JCHandsom]

Slayven, what is your most unpopular opinion with regards to comics?

Ordered this one. Will pickup the next when (and if) Marvel releases it. Thanks!

slayven what should I eat for the 4th of July?

 

[Shadow_Lord]

You probably answered this hundreds of times already, but how did you become a living encyclopedia of comic knowledge?

 

[Slayven]

Slayven, what is your most unpopular opinion with regards to comics?

Watchman and Dark Knight Returns are grabage

slayven what should I eat for the 4th of July?

Doritos, spicy

As a kid i was cheap and use to only by from the 4 for a dollar bins at flea markets. That lead to me collecting a little bit of everything

 

[Maple-Tech]

Who's the best blue beetle?

 

[Slayven]

Who's the best blue beetle?

Jaime no question. He made being Blue Beetle actually mean something

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Why? Just, why?

 

[Slayven]

Why? Just, why?

If I don't who will?

 

[Wiseblade]

Didn't know that was a mistranslation. So basically, if he can visualize it/physically see itc he can go there?

IIRC, he has to teleport to a source of Ki. He searches for the ki of whoever he wants to travel to and instantly pops over once he gets a lock.

Random books? How could you make sense of any continuity?
