Post by: Mr. Gundam on March 05, 2012, 08:07:58 PM: AoA was my comic book swan song back in middle school. It was fucking awesome, but I lost interest in comic books shortly after the X-titles returned to "reality."

Post by: Smooth Groove on March 05, 2012, 11:58:49 PM: I kinda hate Marvel's alternate timeline stories. That device usually just allows the writer to come up with all kinds of BS. Also, it's kinda pointless since Marvel's rule is that time travel cannot do anything but change another timeline.

Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 06, 2012, 12:11:36 AM: I will admit the worst thing about Onslaught was the whole "Magneto with amnesia" thing. Joseph :piss2
Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: Smooth Groove on March 06, 2012, 12:18:31 AM: There's already more than enough Jew drama in Hollywood. Comics should just leave it alone and concentrate on much interesting subjects. Like, why's Thor still called a god when there are thousands of people more powerful than him?

Post by: MrAngryFace on March 06, 2012, 12:36:43 AM: Magneto needs to spend more time bein awesome and less time bein cloud strife
Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 06, 2012, 12:42:05 AM: Magneto's miniseries in the aftermath of Onslaught was so bad, dunno why I bought every issue. Some of the worst art I've ever seen

Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 06, 2012, 02:17:31 AM: My fave mid-90s regular timeline Magneto moment was right before some big X-Men arc where he decided to give humanity one last shot to determine whether to fuck them up or not. So he dressed up in a suit and went to some construction site pretending to be a CEO contractor, to interview a worker who's answers to various questions would determine the fate of mankind. Initially it seemed like the worker was all cool n shit, then he pissed Magneto off by bringing up HITLER so Magneto decided to fuck humans up afterall. :bow

Post by: Steve Youngblood on March 06, 2012, 10:27:46 AM: As a pointless aside, I'm pretty sure that it was a MAF thread on GAF that compelled me to read Age of Apocalypse like 7 or 8 years ago. Never did read any of the new follow-up stuff. Any of it worth a damn?
Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: MrAngryFace on March 06, 2012, 11:01:16 AM: I enjoyed Second Coming and the latest XForce series. Schizm is a cool idea but no clue where it's going

Is it deep, and will it stand for a second reading. Most comic stuff don't. Apart from Taboo, which is amazing. Some guy referenced Taboo.

Second reading depends on the person- all I can say is this was X-Men at its best imo.

Post by: Mr. Gundam on March 10, 2012, 07:53:50 PM: Sucks that it doesn't include X-men Chronicles 1-2. Those were actually good.
Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: MrAngryFace on March 10, 2012, 08:03:36 PM: I THINK the TPB books im sending do include the chronicles, but yeah, this one doesnt It does include legion quest tho which I dont think the TPBs did...ill have to check
Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: Mr. Gundam on March 10, 2012, 08:27:11 PM: Like I mentioned on FB, I only bought the first issue of X-Man, X-Calibre and Factor X... will be cool to see how those ended.

Issue 1 is out. Stryker is awesome- hes some crazy ass Post Apocalyptic Batman
Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: bork on March 13, 2012, 01:34:12 PM: Did you read the story arc that precedes it in Uncanny X-Force, MAF? There's several issues, then one of those .1 issues that is essentially the real "#1" to this new series.

This new AoA feels like it has nothing to do with the original series.
Title: Re: Class is in session: Age of Apocalypse
Post by: MrAngryFace on March 13, 2012, 01:44:53 PM: Not yet- I follow this stuff digital only; hard to keep track.

That said, im fine with most of the original AoA cast being gone- that story is over- time for some new awesome batman stryker
