Marvel Discussion #1 -Battles, Egos and Surprises. The comics are interesting too.

I thought I`d start a general Marvel thread since a few of us are fans.


Marvel`s Official Webpage which is horrible. They need to take a cue from DC (the only time I`ll ever say that!)

So what titles do people read?

Whoo!

Marvel`s site is horrible; the DotComics released in the last year and a half don`t even work for me, regardless of browser.

DC has a problem with updating their list of trade paperbacks, but it`s generally good. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I currently get most of my monthlies from Marvel:
  • New X-Men
  • Ultimates
  • Ultimate Fantastic Four
  • Ultimate Spider-man
  • Ultimate X-Men
  • X-Statix

Also some of the miniseries, such as Truth, Origin, and Ultimate Daredevil + Elektra/Ultimate Six/Ultimate War. Notice a trend? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Also got the huge hardcover (volume 2) of Daredevil; anyone interested in authentic crime noir mixed in with superhero fantasy has got to check this out.

I`m a DC fan - most of my favorite titles are DC. I`ve never been big on Marvel but over the past two years I`ve started picking up more Marvel.

I currently buy:

X-Statix
Runaways
NYX
Daredevil (I wait and buy trades)
1602
The Eternals (this got cancelled)
Ultimates

I occasionally buy an issue of Ultimate Spider-man, and occasionally follow an arc in Morrison`s New X-Men (I`ll buy this regularly when Joss Whedon and John Cassaday come onboard, if that`s really happening.)

Oh and I got Ultimate Fantastic Four #1 which should be good. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

An ongoing Ultimate Daredevil would be sweet!

I read all of the X-Titles, though most of them are utter crap right now.

Exiles rules.

I read Incredible Hulk, Avengers, 1602, and various mini-series and such. The only DC comics I read with any regularity are the Wildstorm titles...so I guess you could say I still make mine Marvel.

P.S. MARIAROCKS000: I DO have Bilson fever...hehehe.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I`m digging Rachel Bilson, especially since she got added to the regular cast alongside Melinda Clarke. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I seriously have an obsession. She`s my favorite actress. All of a sudden.

We`re extremely close to getting her a board, so then my obsession can become even more unhealthy. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

I did notice that the Male Celebs listing was significantly longer than the Female one these days. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

She isn`t my favorite actress, mainly because I can`t pick a favorite. She has joined the (growing) list though.
I`ll be right there with you on the Rachel board...I`m prepared to obsess with the best of them.

You notice how we can never stay completely on topic on any of our threads... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] We`re weird that way.

On topic? Never!

What`s happened with The O.C. lately? No comics references in weeks! [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img]

I read:

Runaways

The X titles

Elektra

Fantastic Four

Avengers

I also have a few Hulk issues to read. I took Crow`s recommendation and bought the last arc. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I also read Namor, but Marvel canceled it. There is only one issue to go.

Ugh, Marvel is now doing manga-sized digests with children-friendly version of popular titles. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img] The real problem comics have with reaching kids are price and perception, not so much content...

Did I hear correctly that they ARE going to release a trade for Runaways, but it`s one of the digest-sized ones? Ugh.

Does anyone read Aquaman? I read my first issue of it tonight. I have no idea who anyone is including Aquaman, but it was a great read. It`s actually the issue that will be out next week #15 (I read an advance copy).

The premise:

"The new creative team of Will Pfeifer, Patrick Gleason and Christian Alamy takes Aquaman in a bold, unexpected direction. A devastating earthquake hits San Diego, leaving thousands dead. But someone survived the cataclysm...and their survival will require Aquaman to take on a new role that draws upon all his experience as a hero and leader of a nation."

Really good. Kinda had an X-Files vibe to it.
