I've loved iron man since I was a kid, but good god was civil war a depressing time to be a fan. Every writer just wanted to poo poo all over him.

Batman and Robin #37

Batman and friends have been fighting through Apokolips to retrieve the body of Damian Wayne.




Part of me hates poo poo like this because it always brings up the nagging question as to why Batman doesn't just wear stuff like this all the time. It's like he's handicapping himself for no reason.

It's easy to say with hindsight that this all worked out for the best, and it was hard for me to see what people were so upset about at the time because I was a neophyte when this was published, but with a decade-plus of knowledge I totally get why this pissed old Avengers fans off so hardcore.

maybe hawkeye should have taken off his quiver of arrows instead of grabbing a random kree guy and turning himself into into a suicide bomb.

I really, really did not like Bendis's avengers stuff. Although adding spidey was a good move.

Particularly when it involves the Clone Saga.

Can we keep Reilley's spider man costume? I always liked that one and wouldn't mind if it showed up again sometime.

Although his scarlet spider costume sucks, we can toss that.

I really disliked that variation of Hulk tremendously. The part where the nurses make fun of Banner so he intentionally turns himself into the Hulk so he can rape and eat them was the worst treatment of the characters I've ever heard of.

I must have blocked this out. Was this during the first ultimates run?

That is completely retarded. A super wealthy person like wayne has waaaay more power and ability to change things, than some rear end in a top hat in a cape.

I've heard this arguement used to justify why batman sucks and isn't helping gotham and I thought Chris Sims did a good rebuttal to it.

I recently picked up the first trade for superman rebirth and I was really surprised by how good it was. Guess the later issues seem to be continuing that trend.

I'm reminded of a similar line in Kingdom Come. I can't tell if this is a reference, since the syntax is pretty different, but I couldn't help but think about it.



I love this moment and really does sum up batman. It's also why the comics in which superman and batman don't like each other, even after they've known the other person for an extended period of time, drive me nuts.

And because I posted it elsewhere and it's probably the best Magneto moment.



I love the lead up to this part because Skull just throws everything he has at magneto and mags more or less just brushes it aside. It's one of the most satisfying beatings in comics.

This was such a great tribute and the episode itself was so goddamn good.

edit
the funeral scene was also good.

So I recently reread God of Thunder and.. I'm kind of curious to keep reading. What in the name of poo poo do I read now? This is a very confusing run to follow along with.

This is probably why Marvel should stop rebooting their titles ever 2 years.

I don't think we have a disturbing panels thread, so let's put them here instead.

Immortal Hulk #8:
The Hulk has been captured by a suspicious organization. Beware, body horror ahead.


I think they're trying to make a big deal of the hulk deliberately killing someone, but considering the fact that in issue two he rips off some semi-immortal guys arms and legs and dumps him in a pit so he can suffer alone for (potentially) forever, what he's doing here doesn't seem so bad.

Thanks for the nice words about my books guys. I haven't been posting much about them for fear of sounding like a broken record (though apparently I jump in on threads to post Sheldon's art like some kind of lovely Beetlejuice).

Why am I just learning about this now. I gotta go and get this from my comic shop right the gently caress now

Ippo's humor is pretty dumb, but I'd by lying if I said it wasn't hilarious at times.

JLA Avengers owns because it's basically allows two immensely talented individuals, who are also huge fanboys to boot, to just go nuts and play with all the toys. There's a ton of great character moments in that series.

tony is a narcissist who doesnt want people stealing his thunder

This falls apart for every single super scientist in comics. . Why doesn't Pym give everyone the ability to change size, why doesn't reed give other heroes access to his incredible tech, etc. It's not limited to Tony.
