I'm loving the ReXurrection titles. Thank you, Marvel. However, I don't think I'm ever going to forgive Marvel for throwing Emma under the bus. Emma Frost deserved better then that and a retcon can't come soon enough. |

i caught up on a bunch
the sheild from dark circle comics not bad only 4 issues not sure if they will continue
the new 52 hawkman another not bad i wasnt crazy about the writers on this book tony daniel and rob liefeld when they were announced but it wasnt as bad as i thought the first artist is philip tan not sure how a feel about him but joe bennet is the defenitive hawkman artist if you ask me. i think they were going one way with tony daniel/philip tan run but the book switch to another with the liefeld/bennet run. its not great but not bad
i love hawkman so i read em

Finally getting caught up on all my comics after my comic shop had problems with their supplier....
I'm really enjoying All-New Wolverine and I'm not a big Wolverine fan at all. Loving the twist on comic book conventions (girls get stuff DONE and you know Laura and Gaby are going to have a talk later) and I'm hoping Doctor Monica Rappaccini is going to stay in some capacity or another. She's too fun of a character.
Monsters Unleashed is a lot of fun (albiet heading towards it's darker undercurrents eventually) and I'm hoping we're in for the long haul. It's still finding it's voice, but it's a great series. Skagg in particularly. ("Fillify worms, hug your children") Hope you guys are supporting it, legacy characters sadly are a neccessity ( not that there's anything wrong with Kamela, Miles or Sam, but original characters on their own don't do as well) and if we want more non-legacy characters, we need to support titles like this.
I'm really loving Jean as team leader in X-Men Blue, stumbling and finding her way as well. (SHE'S DOING SO MUCH BETTER THEN SHE THINKS) I really love how close Jean and Bobby are now without resorting to it being cliche. There defiently building the way back to Jean and Scott (although I still hate that turning Emma back into a villian apparently had to be part of the X-Men getting back to it's essentinals) which is nice, but it doesn't feel rushed. Not sure about bringing Ultimate-elements into the series, though. (Sorry, Marvel, but I hate the Ultimate take that the mutants were created by the government - trees, woods. YOU MISSED) Really enjoyed the first issue of Generation X as well (I haven't reecieved last week's order yet).
Really excited for Iceman next week.
And I'm loving Jackson Hyde in Teen Titans. Honestly, it's just fascinating seeing how similar and different he is to Kaldur. It does look to be - rocky road ahead - that he's going to end up less messed up then Kaldur, though, despite his initial difficulties.
Scarlet Spider also is a must-buy if you want a twisted take on the Spider myhos, regardless of The Clone Saga baggage. |

i have been reading a bunch
i read the current black bolt series its only up to 2 issues a pretty good 2 issues its set in space far away fromthe rest of the shenanigans going on in the marvel u. its a book that reads like its own thing and it wont be
invaded by anything else.
i found a book called EVIL superheroes. its not an original premise but i thought it was pretty good. 7 super beings that seem very familar show up and basically kick the worlds butt and demand to be worshiped as gods. so far
they are a really evil and violent justice league. there is the trinity a superman a warrior woman a bat also an aquaman and a flash there 2 other members but i have seen much of them so dont know if they are green lantern or
martian manhunter. they really arent those characters but one look and yo know who they are based on. its from zenescope of all companies. that the comic company that put out all those naughty fairy tale cheese cake books.
so ill read on in that
i read some marvel russian heroes. first soviet super soldiers which was a one shot i think was supposed to launch a series. but didnt. then i read dark star and the winter guard more russian superheroes from marvel.
they were ok just wanted to see what going on with those characters.
the ulimates new ultimates by jeph loeb and frank cho. i had sworn off the ultimate books pretty much because of jeph loeb, but for some reason wanted to see what the heck they could salvage of that wreckage. matbe it was
the frank cho art. anyway it was pretty good the ultimates are just to put the pieces back together after i dont know what but the team is in shambles. thor is in the hands and sometimes bed of hela. he is replaced by
ultimate valkyrie she now has superpowes even though previously she was just a super hero groupie. just like the rest of her ultimate defender team mates. somehow they all get superpowers and decide to take on the
ultimates. much better than i thoiught it would be.
ive been reading secret empire and its tie ins. i just fear where this will land the marvel u they promise they will put it all back together but i dont have much confidence in them.
last but certainly not least red raven comics number 1 . thats right the golden age red raven. oh boy did it have a whole lot of just wild bat %$#@ crazy ideas. it seems golden age super heroes were very concerned with
ending the source of unhappiness in the world. in fact that was RR mission statement. he shared that issue with a bunch of other backups including a hero called the eternal brain. i loved for the sheer everything and
kitchen sink of crazy ideas attitude.

The only difference sometimes is who gets to be "them" and who gets to be "us". The Mujahadeen are curious because they were portrayed in a pretty sympathetic light during the 1980s, enough that The Living Daylights used them as protagonists and no one batted an eyelid. There's this tendency to conflate them and the Taliban together, but the reality of the situation is that the latter group shot up while the former was fighting with itself for control once the Soviets were forced out of Afghanistan. In reality, the two groups were at odds with one another and the Mujahadeen joined forces with the United States to get rid of them. People tend not to be taught that particular aspect of history because it makes the enemy look like real people. Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time. A bit hit-or-miss to be honest. The Fifth Doctor story with the Sontarans was interesting in principle, but the idea that they wouldn't treat him seriously rather than just shoot him on the spot strikes me as a bit of research overlooked. The first two Doctors aren't very well-characterised either in tone or character and the Fourth Doctor story is a bit forgettable rather surprisingly. That said, the Third, Sixth and Seventh Doctor stories fare quite well and it's always nice to see Grace again. I can't help but feel that these writers knew their Star Trek a lot better than they did their Doctor Who. |

People tend not to be taught that particular aspect of history because it makes the enemy look like real people. honestly i think our support of the mujahadeen was the seed of international jihadism. i remember they were portrayed as heroes fighting against the big bad commies. brave men from all over the muslim world come to defend their faith. well it worked we got all the extremist together and taught them how to defeat a super power. i read about some of them when they went home. they didnt fit in anymore and they started looking for a new cause the next fight. also this is where osama bin ladin comes on the international jihad scene. unintended consequences all over the place. but this is not the place for history nor contentious politics. so i will withdraw from those except to say if they interest you, then this unknown soldier series is probably up your alley considering you are reading a comic book thread s well. |

Yes, it's one of those awful, terrible things about war. I've read a lot of accounts about Vietnam veterans who came home to America and found that they couldn't adapt to civilian life, so they found other less reputable pursuits or in some cases went back to Vietnam. History is full of blind alleyways like that and sadly, it's often the same blind alleyway. Fortunately, there's been some headway made with reintegrating soldiers back into wider society. We at least seem to be learning from our history in that regard and it's good there are efforts being made to better their lives after all they've been through. Mmm, that's exactly what I was thinking. Sounds as though it'd be an interesting read. |
