Bore Comics Thread: Crisis On Infinite Megathreads

[chronovore]

(Image removed from quote.)

I haven't bought a single DC book since they pulled that shit with Batwoman. It was my favorite book of like, all time, and you can check my posts about it on GAF way before any drama came up. Shit, I've read comics for 3 decades and  that was the only time I ever wrote in about something. Got a short, but pleasant response from Williams.

It is always nice when a creator writes back.

Spider-Man has been drawn in the same pose as Spider-Woman has on that cover before.

My problem with that cover is that it just sucks.  It's ugly as fuck.  There's some crazy detail on her back area, but the art overall is not pleasant to look at.  I agree that Manara should just stick to drawing porn.  The X-Women comic he drew several years ago was terrible.  Just doesn't fit.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

As we're talking about the amazing Manara, I'd like to push you guys in the direction of the Manara Library collections Dark Horse has been putting out for some years now:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Manara-Library-Volume-Stories/dp/159582782X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408626473&sr=8-2&keywords=manara+library

They're very nice.

It's also been stated by a feminist friend, rightly, that when a man splays his legs and presents his junk, it's a display of power; conversely, when a woman spreads her legs, it is a show of submission.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Young Avengers (2013):  Didn't enjoy this too much starting out.  The art was stylish and modern pop, which was cool.  But I had no clue who these characters were and why they looked sorta like other character (Hulking), (little Loki) (fake Captain America at one point), also the entire story run being about EVIL DIMENSIONAL MOM PARASITE was just super lame.  However, it ended up being a good story and the characters really grew on me.  Loki is SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER in this one.  He steals the entire show and I really, really like his character here.  Ended nice and bittersweet too.  As I mention below I'm going to read the original run of Young Avengers so I can see their origin story which will add a lot to this one.  PS, for some reason Marvel Unlimited does not carry a digital version of the final issue (it's not a time exclusive thing) which was rather annoying, but I was still able to read it elsewhere and finish the thing.  A-

Now I'm currently about halfway through The Immortal Iron First (2006-2009) and enjoying it for the great art and Mortal Kombat story like Treesong said.  After I finish that I'm gonna finally read something LONG and read the Morrison arc of New X-men, Whedon's Astonishing X-men, and Uncanny X-Force.  I'm probably also going to read the first run of Young Avengers because as I mentioned jumping into the 2013 run was a little confusing and I'd like to see the origin of these characters even if it's not that great of a manga.

Eventually after I get through all that stuff, what are some good arcs to read of characters I'm interested in:  Iron Man, Spiderman, Fantastic Four (never read any FF, would like a cool Dr. Doom arc), Ghost Rider (never read GR either and would like to read a good art because I like the character design and Mephisto in MvC2 looked awesome), and maybe Captain America.  I want to check out Inhumans because I keep seeing Black Bolt show up in other comics and I heard the "War of Kings" arc is a good arc to get an idea of them.  Also I have no idea who the Skrull and Kree aliens are but they keep showing up in stuff which makes me want to read some arc about them so I can get more out of them in the Marvel Universe.

Iron Man: Read Ellis' Extremis
Fantastic Four: I liked Hickman's arc. Some people swear by the Waid run but it felt extremely 90s to me (in art and writing).
Ghost Rider, Inhumans: Can't say for sure
Skrull and Kree: Track down the original Skrull-Kree war series (it should be under Events in the Marvel Unlimited app) for a good primer

Kid Loki is awesome. I really liked Gillen's Journey Into Mystery (where Kid Loki is introduced). Here's a good reading list:

Journey into Mystery 622-636
Exiled 1
Journey into Mystery 637
New Mutants 42
Journey into Mystery 638
New Mutants 43
Journey into Mystery 639-641
The Mighty Thor 18
Journey into Mystery 642
The Mighty Thor 19
Journey into Mystery 643
The Mighty Thor 20
Journey into Mystery 644
The Mighty Thor 21
Journey into Mystery 645

This is why I haven't bought a comic in 4-6 years.

[Bebpo]

Read through the 2nd main arc in Immortal Iron Fist (#15-20 I think about dragon dude) after the initial tournament arc.  Was damn good.  The first arc was cool but it got kind of rushed and changed focus after the tournament started.  Now the further arcs using the existing base the opening arc set up...this is a lot of fun.  The one-shots have been alright too, liked Orson Rand vs. Death Queen of California.  This 2006-2009 version is a good, nice meaty franchise.  Looking forward to the last few arcs and the Immortal Weapons spin-off.  John Amon Prince of Orphans is f'ing cool.  And Danny Rand/Iron Fist is pretty boss too when he has his shit together.  Good cast.

Also, after I finish this series gonna need to play some UMvC3 and kick some ass as Iron Fist.  Cool that there's a Netflix Iron Fist TV show coming one day, gonna look forward to that.

I'm not sure which "run" you're referring to; I own the first two trade paperbacks, and they were great... I'm guessing that's the first run? I can't remember if it finished. TIME FOR A RE-READ.

[bork]

That doesn't happen, Awesome-O.  The story is pretty much like Terminator in that it's all about time travel.  Look forward to WOLVERINE WOLVERINE AND WOLVERINE going to the past to fuck shit up with his buddy, Sue Storm.

The event itself is pretty much pointless garbage...literally the last few pages of the last issue are the only thing that matters.

All it did was set up "holes" in the universe for characters from other realities to come into the 616 universe and vice versa-- Angela, from Image/Spawn is now part of the Marvel U and Galactus went to the Ultimate universe. 

[close]

The former has had no impact whatsoever (they put her in Guardians Of The Galaxy) and the latter was part of an Ultimate event that resulted in a shake-up and multiple canceled books.  I think the current Avengers/New Avengers storyline regarding multiple earths crashing into each other is also a result of this, but I'm not sure since it's been so boring up until recently, so I didn't read a good chunk of it.

[bork]

The plot is so convoluted and fucked-up that I can't see them making a movie out of it...they can't really adapt it anyway, since they don't have the majority of the characters available to use.  If they just go with "Ultron comes and fucks up shit/enslaves humanity, Avengers time travel to stop him" it will be fine, though.

Marvel's recent 'event' books have all been pretty weak, IMO.  They are clearly being done just to set up the next storyline and come off as pointless in the end.  Original Sin has also been kind of a snoozer, although it's at least better than Ultron was-

spoiler (click to show/hide)

D-list villains kill the Watcher and steal his eyes.  The eyes' power is then unleashed and reveals secrets about various characters to all the heroes.  To get everything, you have to read the various characters' own books AND mini-series tied to them.  In the main book, various characters band together to find out who killed the Watcher.  We then find out, in a tie-in to the still-unfinished S.H.I.E.L.D mini series, regarding its history, that (white) Nick Fury has been the guardian of Earth for years, and is old and feeble-- life model decoys have been used in his place.  And it's currently dragging on and needs to end already.

[close]

I like Marvel, but the direction they've been taking some of their teams (mainly the Avengers) in has just been horrible.  X-Men has been better recently.

Marvel's Original Sin event is over.

In summary:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

(White) Nick Fury killed the Watcher, because reasons.  The Winter Soldier (Bucky) takes his place as "The Man On The Wall," AKA the guy who secretly hangs out in outer space and kills incoming alien threats.  The Watcher appears to have been replaced not by another Watcher, but instead by old man Fury, who everyone thought was dead after the event.  And D-list villain The Eye has one of the Watcher's all-knowing eyes embedded in his body and goes to watch a woman murder a guy who was abusing her. 

[close]

In short...what the fuck? 


And that will lead into some of the heroes getting replaced.  Thor has already lost his hammer for reasons we don't know.  Old man Fury said something to him that made him lose it.

Meanwhile, over at DC, they're doing "Future's End" one-shots for almost all their books this month.  The setting is only five years into the future but everything is fucked up.  Am going to assume that various events make this future never happen.  The weekly book is a fun read, but we really didn't need an entire month's worth of material dedicated to it.

[Eric P]

the Grayson Future's End issue is worth reading.

Are any of the stories that lead into Superior Spiderman worthwhile/helpful to read? Can I just jump right in? (I'm aware it's Doc Ock. in PP's body, does it just take that premise and run with it, or is it part of a greater arc?)

I thought I replied to this...but there's no post.  Weird.  You don't have to read the other stuff before it, but the whole Superior arc starts in Amazing Spider-Man #698, so you'll want to read that plus ASM #699 and #700 before Superior.

Similarly, Superior ends at #31 and then goes right into the new ASM series, which has Peter dealing with all the fallout from what happened in Superior, plus introduces Spider-Woman Silk, a retcon character who was also bitten by a radioactive spider when Peter was, but was hidden away for years before Spider-Man finds her.   Am betting that she is either going to get killed off or turned into a villain.

There's also the Spider-Man 2099 series, which is a spin-off from Superior and also something you wouldn't want to read until finishing Superior up. 

And then there's the "Spiderverse" event, which takes place during the time when Doc Ock was Spider-Man and has him reality-hopping to save multiverse Spider-Men from doom.  That's just recently started.

Morrison New X-men #114-156

Well, as someone coming from the old early 90s X-men and the latest X-men movies...that was weird.  Was pretty confusing at first since it opens with

Killing half the population with super sentinels out of nowhere and no resistance over like 4 pages.

[close]

The run was a slow burn for me.  I wasn't that familiar with these characters and really didn't care for the first arc with Cassandra Nova who was a pretty boring supervilian.  Some of the weird short arcs jumped around A LOT very quickly.  Then Xorn showed up and it got better and then Fantomex showed up and it got even better.  The 2nd half of the run got a lot better and at some point I realized the Morrison run is basically a 3-4 season TV show with the first few seasons being self-contained stories and then the latter half pulling everything all together.  By the time

OMG it was really MAGNETO MANIPULATING EVERYTHING...OH WAIT, IT WAS REALLY EVIL BACTERIA FROM THE ORIGINS OF THE EARTH MANIPULATING EVERYTHING!!  yeahhhhhh, that got a little silly and the future arc at the end was pretty dumb.  Then the whole universe reset and now the base X-men in comic world is Scott+Emma running the school.

[close]

Still, good series.  The art was well drawn but I wasn't a big fan of the character designs.  Also really felt like it jumped around too quickly a lot of the times and lacked impact because of the pacing.  But had good characters and good moments.  Will check out Astonishing X-men.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I reread Morrison recently and while it's more uneven than I remember, the stuff it does nail (Scott+Emma, Fantomex, Stepford Cuckoos) are still at the very-very front of the X-books today, 10 years later.

You might like Astonishing more - it's very much in the "24 issues, 4 arcs, BOOM" era of modern plotting, and each one arc builds very organically fron the next.

[Pickles the Firecat]

New Avengers #24

Doom will definitely come out of this Mapmaker confrontation with information that forces him to take in the Illuminati. Gonna be a big moment to see Victor do that. Richards, Doom, Pym, Banner, Panther, Cho, Thinker, and Beast (+ maybe Tony?) for brains and Molecule Man, Captain Britain, Strange, Black Bolt (+ maybe Namor and obviously the aforementioned brains?) for muscle...that's an OP'd Earth team if I ever saw one. I'm guessing the X-Teams will see Scott with Illuminati/Doom and Wolverine's team with SHIELD.

[close]

[Bebpo]

Read through Whedon's Astonishing X-men run.  Was good.  Very popcorn entertainment, but came together well and did some stuff nicely like Colossus/Pride.  Also had a light Whedon feel with some good comic lines here and there. 

Oh and I really like what Whedon did with Cyclops.  Best characterization of him I've read/seen in forever.

Now man, wtf is up with X-men and the timeline?  So like Uncanny X-men -> X-men in the late 90s and then in 2001 they rebranded it "New X-men" just for Morrison's Run" which then -> Splits into 2 series of "New x-men" (2004/#157 onwards) and Astonishing X-men which both pick up right after Morrison's run ends in like parallel universe timelines I guess.

1.  If I ever wanted to read the stuff that led up to Morrison's run what should I be reading?

2.  If I ever wanted to read a continuation of the events of Morrison & Whedon's runs...what should I be reading?


Also X-men is so weird because it always feels totally distanced from the Marvel Universe and when cross-over people come in it's more like fanservice than logical.  Like in Morrison's entire run I don't think there were any other marvel characters involved.  Yet Morrison's run dealt with major world changes and cities destroyed.  You'd think if this was all taking place in the Marvel Universe, other superheroes would be involved.  I mean I'm fine taking X-men as existing separately on their own, but then it's weird when other characters do get involved for fanservice.  Also, everyone seems to hate the X-men and villains and superheroes keep coming back over and over again.  I mean if

It wasn't Magneto and you're better off just ignoring all the Xorn/fallout of New X-men.

[close]

Honestly, the quality after Morison and Wheadon takes a nose dive. You should pretty much ignore things in X-men and Uncanny that come right after that because they are shitty. X-men gets a little better with Mike Carey, but good in the sense of standard super hero stuff. Stuff happens, but honestly the core X-men books have been meh since Wheadon and Morrison.

There is X-Statix which is amazing and completely stand alone. Complete with character's only relevant to that story. Starts in X-Force 116.

While the core Xbooks have been kind of meh imo you have the Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost X-Force which is fun. Then the Rick Remender Uncanny X-Force which is also great fun. It does tie into lots of lore though.

And of course Peter Davids X-Factor is always pretty good.

I don't think you really need to read much before to understand Morrison's run. It of course references things, but I'm not going to ask you to read 75 issues of Generation X and some old Uncanny X-men just so you can understand where Emma's problem over dead students comes from. it's stated and you get it already. Likewise, do you need to read late 90's X-men stuff and Dream's End--a very throw away arc-- to understand Geneosha? Not really.

Really, to understand Morrison I guess reading some old Clearmont is helpful, but even that not mandatory.

Also the original Age of Apocalypse is good with the only real weak part being the Gambit series.

[Bebpo]

Well the only thing they kept referencing that seemed weird was Cyclop's "Black Bug Room" which I had no idea what it was about.

[Yulwei]

This month I picked up and read all of Hickman's ongoing Avengers/New Avengers/Infinity and boy am I glad I did. Hickman has crafted an extremely interesting and meaty world. Even the slower chapters entertained me nonstop.

Speaking of the X-Men... I did a read through of Mike Carey's run after catching up with the avengers and it had some damn good team book material, which is what I expect from X-Men, but holy hell did that not last very long at all. His run gets caught up in crossover after crossover and it is extremely grating. Morrison's and Whedon's runs were the high points of X-Men for me and I do not feel like ever picking up another X comic again unless they do a complete reboot of the IP and let some decent writers get a crack at it without getting bogged down in crossover shit.

Now I am out of comics to read as I do not care about DC stuff and Marvel doesn't seem to have much going for it outside of Avengers atm.

What are some comics with good sense of humor?  I like how Whedon's run on Astonishing had some good laughs each issues and Nextwave was fun.  Uncanny X-Force, which I'm reading currently has some good humor thanks to the Deadpool/Fantomex combo.  Would like to read some stuff that is amusing.

Persepolis, Transmetropolitan, Hawkeye(the current run), Y The Last Man, Saga, and X-Statix all have a sense of humor on top of actually having good storytelling.

Someone please tell me what the fuck is going on in Marvel? I went to my Comic shop tonight and they've got New X-Factor (WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD MULTIPLE MAN X-FACTOR TEAM THIS IS IMPORTANT), New Avengers, New this, New that, and I have no inkling as to what the CHRIST. What's good in Marvel these days? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY BELOVED X-FACTOR INVESTIGATIONS? Are all Spider-Man books still shit? What the Christ is the Spider-verse or whatever?

Tonight went to my comic shop for the first time in a year.

Wanted some Power Girl. No Power Girl except Huntress and Power Girl. I got the Futures End event book as well as Number 26. I picked up Green Arrow 35 and it looks rad. I'm a big fan of the new Green Arrow, so I'm looking forward to reading this in the flesh and not my phone. I got Wonder Woman 34, Gotham Academy 1, and Ms. Marvel issue 5.

Rate my pick up. I don't have an idea what's good these days because Green Arrow and Daredevil.

[Rahxephon91]

Marvel likes to relaunch titles at number 1 like there's no tomorrow. New storylines or new creative teams mean titles start over at number 1 or re-titled.

X-Factor Investigations ended with a conclusion for Multiple Man. New X-Factor is still by Peter David, but are a corporate super hero team lead by Lorna Dane.

It's a good title, but also about to end.

[Himu]

The appeal of x-factor was mysteries meets mutant powers. Like x-files or some noir sleuthing crossed with x-men. I'm not sure the appeal of a corporate x-factor? Do they still investigate?

And yeah, that's one of the big reasons I prefer DC over Marvel these days.

[WanderingWind]

You're going to be really mad when you find out how X-Factor Investigations ends. You watch that It's Always Sunny episode about online gaming? Same ending.

[Himu]

I read about it and it sounds fucking stupid.

[Himu]

Reading Amazing Spidey from #1 via the Marvel U app. Reading 1-200. So far it's...amazing.

[WanderingWind]

I read about it and it sounds fucking stupid.

It was. Flashbacks of how Generation X ended. I thought we had moved beyond that kind of of mess as a medium. 

[Rahxephon91]

Well right now the appeal of new X-Factor is the character writing for Gambit, Lorna Dane, and Quicksilver. Right now they are being written really well and it's nice to see Lorna be an actual leader. I can't say the corporate bent has lead to any specific story angle, but it's still a good read.

[Mr. Nobody]

All-New X-Factor is a collection of poorly chosen characters for a concept that sounds better on paper written by a man who burned himself out on the series 2 years ago.

[Himu]

Gambit? Well written?

[Mr. Nobody]

Gambit? Well written?

Not particularly. In this or his recently cancelled solo.

RIP X-Factor Investigations. I'll miss you even if I stopped reading in the last year or so. You were easily the best of the X-books for a long time. You will be missed.

I will now post X-Factor covers I love.















The comic series no one believed me was the bee's knees because they'd rather read X-Force.

[Himu]

Note: X-factor volume 3 is on Marvel Unlimited. READ IT. YOU ASSHOLES.

Gambit? Well written?

Not particularly. In this or his recently cancelled solo.

Well my point is that I think Gambit's one of those characters who will probably never be too well written, because reasons. In this case, Claremont reasons.

[Rahxephon91]

I'm not seeing how his character is poorly done. For ounce he's not being written as the stereotypical Cajun ladies man or simply Rogues bf. Which is what most writers can't do. He's being written as just a cool dude who happens to be kind of accidentally sly. Which is more intersting then how he's normally done.

Tbh, all X-books kinda...suck right now

All-New X-Men (when pointless x-events dont get in the way)
Magneto
X-Force (Spurrier the GAWD)

That's pretty much it. Everything else is mediocre or worse.

I should mention that Cyclops is good too but Rucka has less than 5 issues left iirc and I can just feel the nosedive the book is going to take once he leaves

[Rahxephon91]

X-Force is good, but All New? Oh god no. It's terribly paced and has the most boring cast. Unless you care about Jean Grey and a teenager version to be more specific, it's a pretty meh book. Or it was. I'll admit it's gotten a bit better with that Battle of the Atom 2 arc, but before that everything was slow and every issue seemed to be the same thing over and over. Never mind that the cast kind of sucks and Bendis seems to really only care about Jean Grey.

Too bad whatever momentum it had is put on pause thanks to AXIS. I really doubt this Ultimate Spiderman arc will amount to anything.

Uncanny may not be great. Has too many new characters who have yet to have an impact, but it's also been ok.

Wanted some Power Girl. No Power Girl except Huntress and Power Girl.

Himu, these are all you need:

Power Girl: Power Trip
Terra

Power Trip has ALL of the amazing Jimmy Palmiotti/Justin Gray/Amanda Conner PG stories in one collected edition, plus JLA Classified 1-4, which Conner drew but the others didn't write.  The correct reading order for all this would be JLA Classified 1-4, Supergirl 13 (which is included in the Terra book, IIRC), Terra (1-4), and then remaining PG stores in Power Trip, which would be 1-12. 

The Powergirl series went on after that team left the book, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't the same character and the new team pretty much undid all the awesome stuff that Palmiotti/Gray/Conner set up, which really sucks.  I say just skip it. 

[Himu]

apparently the power girl team now does harley.

[bork]

apparently the power girl team now does harley.

Palmiotti and Conner write it.  Conner only draws the covers, unfortunately.  And I have no idea where Gray is.  The artists they use aren't bad from what I've read, but it's just not the same without Conner doing the art.

Palmiotti and Gray also wrote the recently-canceled All-Star Western New 52 series, BTW.
