Bucky should've stayed dead.
Disney's Marvel presents: Honey, I shrunk the Superhero
But it'll be nice to see Janet again.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I thought the same when they first announced Thor, but that seem to work out for Marvel, plus I have faith in Edgar Wright.

This guy gets it.

Also, Green Lantern isn't that bad. Was expecting a car crash, but the movie was... passable.

Rock on Twitter:

Rumors of me possibly playing LOBO are true. Joel Silver and Brad Peyton working on it now. That could be fun.

What the fuckity fuck?!

You're one of those fanboys that just bitches about everything aren't you

This guy gets it.

It doesn't take a genius to appreciate the greatness that is Edgar Wright.

Also, Green Lantern isn't that bad. Was expecting a car crash, but the movie was... passable.

It really isn't, just a bit cluttered. I think they should've pushed the Paralax shit into the next movie (or possibly push it all the way to a third movie), & just had Hector Hammond as the main focus as far as baddy's go for this movie.

Rock on Twitter:


What the fuckity fuck?!

A LOBO movie?, or will he be playing LOBO is some other DCU film project?

 

[Lee]

The LOBO movie's been rumoured for quite some time, I just think he'll be a terrible choice as LOBO.

Quite the contrary actually, I only really "bitch" about a scant few things, it just happens that those things seem to repeat over and over again. As to my post, I'm serious about the winter solider but am interested in Ant-Man, and as noted, hope to see Janet van Dyne introduced as I've always had affection for her character.

The Walking Dead #100 is the Best-Selling Comic Book Issue of the 21st Century
by Paul Montgomery

We just got word from Image Comics that Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard’s The Walking Dead #100 sold out its print run of just over 375,000 initial orders in its first day. That’s the most since 1997′s The Darkness #11 (also from Image Comics), but that was a whole different millennium and a whole different market.
383,612

That’s what a rabid fan base, a celebrated TV series and 13 crazy covers gets you in today’s market. Still, a monstrous success for an indie comics.

Here’s what Kirkman had to say about the milestone:

“The Walking Dead continues to greatly exceed all my expectations in all forms. I am especially excited for what this means for comics as an industry, that this is an independent comic hitting that number. The future of comics couldn’t be brighter as more and more readers are embracing new ideas in a big way.”

And Image Publisher Eric Stephenson:

“This is a remarkable achievement. It’s extremely uncommon, if not flat-out rare, for a comic book to see a sustained increase in sales following its first issue, but The Walking Dead steadily climbed up and up since its launch in 2003, and we couldn’t be more proud of Robert, Charlie and the whole Walking Dead team.”

Big congratulations to Kirkman, Adlard and Image Comics.

Danm, that's a lot of books!

I'm not really up to date on my comic books as I'd like to be, is it okay if I bullshit about comic book related movies/TV shows/games here?

 

[justinsayne]

Fine by me, this thread is dedicated to anything comic themed as far as I'm concerned.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I know you've said you don't like this but I wanted get people's thoughts on this trailer.

My expectations of this game are low, but my hopes are high. Deadpool is just awesome

 

[justinsayne]

Deadpool is just annoying, Remender is literally the only writer who has written a tolerable version of Deadpool.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I have high hopes for the game. I think the point of Deadpool is literally that he is annoying, his nickname is Merc with a Mouth. But whether he game will be good or not, only time will tell. Deadpool is in my top five Comic Book chracters however, so as long it's decent I'll probably still play the hell out of it.

 

[justinsayne]

Besides The Batman: Arkham games, when was the last time a game based on a comic has been any good at all?

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Very good point, but I still have faith.

 

[justinsayne]

I've not read any of the Walking Dead comics, however I have found The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1 (contains the first 8 tpbs in one book) for about $40 w/ S&H. I'm seriously considering ordering it.

 

[Jay Sherman]

^Do it. Its really engrossing and hard to put down once you start. I started with the compendium and got all the trades till I was caught up till about issue 90 and started reading single issues from there. Its a disturbingly gritty comic, no lie issue 100 has a particular scene that haunts me. Its fun to watch how the show parallels the comic and strays away from other things.

Spiderman 2 for sure and apparently the Amazing Spiderman game that jist came out is pretty awesome and takes a page out of the Arkham games.

You owe it to yourself to get it.

I'm qctually suprised that you haven't read it already.

 

[MrHashasheen]

It's a great series, just way too gritty and depressing for my tastes.

 

[GI Cake]

Besides The Batman: Arkham games, when was the last time a game based on a comic has been any good at all?

 

[justinsayne]

The main reason why I haven't jump into the Walking Dead comics yet is because everytime I look at the shelf featuring all the tpbs at my LCS, I can't help but think "Holy shit, that's alot of books to read" and to be honest when each of those books runs about $15 a piece, that really adds up quick.
