The Bullshiting About Comics Thread w/ Justin & Friends

[justinsayne]

I'm really enjoying both Hulk books currently, Hulk focuses more on Red Hulk and a follow that one a bit more closely as it's the more interesting of the two, but Incredible Hulks right now is pretty fun, think James Bond meets Hulk

if you're a Kraven The Hunter fan, than you might enjoy the new Venom issue that came out last week as well

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

God, Kraven should've staid dead.

 

[Jay Sherman]

I already am caught up on Hulk, and I have a hard time doing Venom now a days but I still may check it out out. Its embarrassing to admit but there's some major classic Batman arches I have yet to read I need to get. Anything else though?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Have you read Batman: Going Sane?

 

[Jay Sherman]

Nope same goes for not having read Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. I think I just lost my comic geek card.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is very good. Not as good as it's made out to be, but good none-the-less. Going Sane is definitely worth a read though. Totally different way to do the Joker.

 

[Jay Sherman]

Alright well that's is I will go on whatever is most recommended between the 2. Arkham Asylum or Going Sane.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Going Sane's my pick.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Thor was very, very solid gents. The cameo that occurs half way in was totally unexpected and rather bad-ass.

 

[Jay Sherman]

I am guessing an obvious Hawkeye cameo?
Also went with going sane as recommended it was fucking brilliant.

Spoiler

Seeing the Joker go straight and live a normal life with no possibility of going back till he heard of Batman living was a trip. Seeing Batman could not loose his obsession with Gotham's criminals really helps to stop the "Just let it be and end it" feeling I get towards some comics. Wayne can not stop with his obsession with cleaning Gotham so why stop him.

 

[justinsayne]

Yeah the Hawkeye cameo in Thor isn't really a secret, as he's listed as part of the cast on the Thor IMDb page, looking forward to seeing it this weekend

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

... Didn't Rey get drafted first, Del Rio? Just sayin'.

Wrong thread?

 

[JGlass]

Whatchu talking about Funkay?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Whatchu talking about Funkay?

I see through you...because Glass, see-through....get it?

 

[JGlass]

I don't follow.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

This is exactly why I designed the Alliance to Eliminate JGlass.

 

[Jay Sherman]

Hawkeye's cameo is almost seen in one of the trailers, so yeah it really is obvious.

MEGA MAN EXPLODES INTO ARCHIE COMICS

New York, NY (October 8, 2010): Archie Comics--home to Sonic the Hedgehog comics--is about to become the base of operations for a comic series featuring Capcom's heroic video game legend, Mega Man!

The Mega Man® franchise is hotter than ever and in the spring of 2011, Archie Comics will take his heroic adventures to new heights with a brand new monthly comic!

With the aid of his mighty Mega Buster blaster arm and a killer creative team including renowned artist Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante and infamous Archie action/adventure writer Ian Flynn, Mega Man is equipped to blast his way back into the comic book world in his own monthly action. Arriving Spring 2011, the new Mega Man comic from Archie Comics promises to build a faithful legacy while exploring a vast universe of heroes, villains, and robots.

"Since 1987, the enormously successful Mega Man franchise has conquered media from video games to television to manga. Archie Comics is ready to carry on this tradition of success, holding true to the spirit of the old school with a fresh eye on Mega Man's strong potential in the world of American comics," promised Archie Comics editor of Sonic and now the Mega Man franchise, Paul Kaminski.

The Mega Man comic book series will follow the original Rock/Mega Man in his battles against the maniacal Dr. Wily. Mega Man's jam-packed, fast-paced adventures are told from the perspective of Rock (a.k.a. Mega Man) the young boy with a peaceful heart now thrust into a life of conflict.

"Readers can expect non-stop action, as well as an exploration of the themes of family, choice and loyalty that make the Mega Man franchise a property that connects on a very personal level," continued Kaminski. "From there, we hope to fully explore not only that classic world, but the other spin-offs including Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man Legends and more!"

"We're thrilled to be creating a definitive version of Capcom's Mega Man to American audiences," remarked Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater. "And to do it with our top-notch creative team who all love and understand the property inside and out is going to be spectacular!"

In honor of the announcement at NYCC, Archie Comics and Capcom® will each be hosting signings of an exclusive print with the Mega Man creative team Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante and Ian Flynn.

Stay tuned to ArchieComics.com for updates on the "Mega Man" comic series coming from Archie Comics in Spring 2011.

HELL YES. I marked when I read that they're actually hoping to expand into spinoffs including a MEGA MAN LEGENDS spinoff!!

Also, they've released a trailer showing what the art will be like. Thankfully the comic won't need voice actors

Anyone know/think if they are going the make an Aquaman movie? I see money in it.

 

[The Doctor]

You're joking, right?

 

[Mac Attack]

You're joking, right?

Let's just say I was...

I'll remember to google it next time.

 

[justinsayne]

Anyone know/think if they are going the make an Aquaman movie? I see money in it.

I kinda doubt it, seeing as how the comic fails every time the try to relaunch it, closest thing I could see to an Aquaman movie would be if DC decided to release an DC Universe animated movie, but I'd doubt they'd even do that considering you never see him in any of the JLA animated movies they've done (other than the very end of New Frontier)

 

[JGlass]

The only way an Aquaman movie would make any money is if it was a porn and he was banging mermaid chicks.

 

[JGlass]

This is exactly why I designed the Alliance to Eliminate JGlass.

I smell a feud brewing here, one of super heroic proportions? The Alliance to Eliminate JGlass has formed to prevent him from accidentally posting things in the wrong thread, but does their maniacal leader Dr. FunKay have the resources to take down the rogue JGlass, who seems to be a master at covering his tracks?

 

[justinsayne]

Ok, so am I the only one having issues with the Marvel shows that are suppose to be available for instant streaming? I can get them to work on my laptop, but when I try to watch them on my TV via my Wii, I can't get shit, yet everything else on my instant queue plays without any issues, am I the only person having this issue
