Hey, I just wanted to ask if anyone knew if/when the Thunderbolts Volume 3: Infinity collected book is gonna be released digitally. I can't seem to find any information on it. I heard that's when the series started to get good and I want in on it. :(

Who is the intended audience for this?
https://www.comixology.com/Storyteller/digital-comic/29928

If one liked the movies Labrynth and Dark Crystal, and one liked comics and stories being told, then is this one to pick up at this price?

I dunno, I remember The Storyteller from when it was a television show, and it was more Fraggle Rock than The Dark Crystal.

It's been a while, though, I might be misremembering.

This might sound kind of silly, but has anyone ever used judo or aikido on the hulk to like, redirect his punches/use his own force against him or anything?

I think Hulk outclasses aikido. It would be like trying to redirect a speeding train.

Modern Age, defined by widescreen action, writing for the trade, and more mature subject matter (which still frequently goes stupid, but there's been progress at least). Defining writers are Morrison, Johns, Bendis, Hickman, and Millar. I can't really think of any defining artists except Hitch.

Would this age be defined by its own self-awareness? I feel like comics nowadays recognize the silliness in their own premise and, rather than fighting so hard against it like back in the "Dark Ages" of the 90s, they embrace it. I'm also seeing a lot of slice-of-life, naturalistic kind of comics, like Hawkeye and Superior Foes of Spider-Man where there's as much just hangin' out and examining the personal lives of these larger-than-life characters as there is action.

Also, wouldn't this era be the post-modern era? It's kind of fitting, what with the re-visiting of the older characters, ideas, stories, etc. but through a more modern, deconstructionist, media-savvy lens. I wouldn't call it cynicism, really, so much as just appreciating that today's media consumers are more sophisticated than they were back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

I think Onslaught is what made me mostly give up comics for, like, over twenty years. It came right after The Age of Apocalypse, right? And it was another huge, multiple-series spanning event that meant I'd have to go out and buy a ton of comics I wouldn't have read otherwise to get the whole story, wasn't it? Yeah, I just said "gently caress it" and gave up.

Just have Reed's revolutionary new radiation shielding alter the radiation in such a way that, instead of just exploding their cell membranes, it gives them superpowers. You could have the first movie be about the Fantastic Four trying to keep the shielding technology out of the hands of Doom, who wants to use it to create an army of super-powered soldiers.

I remember way back in the day when I was in high school working at the local convenience store (which was a great job for reading comics). I picked up one book, I think it was an issue of Weapon X, maybe, and it had a scene where there was a team of surgeons who had basically flayed Logan right down to the bone and we're trying to physically implant the adamantium in his bones before his healing factor closed the wounds. None of that "injecting it with needles" poo poo that came later. I remember being both horrified and impressed. Previous to that I think I'd only really experienced the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby "everything is bright, primary colours and everyone speaks in overwrought soliloquys" school of superhero comic.

So, I'm thinking of buying the Deadpool biannual, but I know I'm gonna buy the collected issues later as a volume. Will the biannual be collected in there? I don't wanna end up owning two copies.

When Matt was a boy and he pushed that old man out of the way of the truck and got blinded by the radioactive material... why wasn't there a lawsuit? Or was there? Did we ever learn if it was a government or military vehicle, or private industry? What was the purpose of the material, and where was it going, and why wasn't it secured better, and why wasn't the driver paying more attention?

According to the Waid version (which I just finished reading up to volume 7 today) the driver of the unlicensed chemical disposal truck was looking down at his cell phone up until the very last second.

Hah! I've actually seen some of this stuff before, but I thought it was just fan art! It's actually what I was hoping the comic would look like!

I think Avengers 200 is a must-read, but not because it's good. Just to confirm to yourself that yes, this exists, this is a thing that happened. Someone wrote this, then several levels of editors gave it the go-ahead, then several artists worked on this, then it was printed and distributed and at no point during any of that did someone say "What the gently caress, guys, we can't print this, this is literally insane!"
