[lean bough]

Ohhh

[storm raptor]

what the heck is going on 😭

[north parrot]

What’s a good comic about gambit

[pine hatch]

Gambit solo run and kelly thompsons rogue and gambit

In my opinion he's always been best in an ensemble tho

[noble raptor]

The current Gail Simone Uncanny X-Men

[last ridge]

did Daredevil ever had symbiote

[noble raptor]

Probably in King in Black

[dawn crescent]

He had the symbiote for a bit in the zdarsky run

[bleak portal]

no eternal storm skin still 😭 🤌

[flint lark]

Yeah

[sonic lotus]

Oop

[glacial nova]

Hey does anyone know if the new alias comic Is a limited series or a full run

[last ridge]

now I wanna see that

[whole plank]

She really loves doom, and this is baddddd

[river veldt]

Does anyone have any psylocke recs? I've been keeping up with her new run and I've been dabbling in some of the old stuff with her

[north moon]

Anyone got any good Ultron recs? He’s just one of those characters that’s in so much that it’s hard to pinpoint what to read.

[glass wyvern]

Finished Darren Warren Johnson's Transformers stuff

Utterly phenomenal, such a beautiful end to his run

[noble raptor]

Betsy?

Rick Remender? (I probably messed the name up) but their X-Force run

Excalibur is also apparently good

[north parrot]

What’s some good comics about blade

[delicate turret]

Never read a marvel comic before. Where can I start reading Moon Knight comics?

[sacred lynx]

Highly recommend Jeff Lemiere and jed McKay's Moon knightnruns! Jeff's first tho

[delicate turret]

Is there digital versions online? Or any links to purchaseable physical copies

[sacred lynx]

You can buy them usually where books are sold. Amazon, comic shops, Barnes and Noble. But you can read it digitally on marvel unlimited, you just gotta pay a subscription

[delicate turret]

Of course, a sub. Fair enough, ty

[tepid coyote]

HIII i recently got a lot of comics

n i want to see if anyone that has any

[ornate helm]

Does anyone know where to get infamous iron man for its actual price? ($45.99) i can't find it anywhere any lower than $89

[agile briar]

Hello everyone

[lapis copper]

Hello, good afternoon everyone

[karmic niche]

👋

[karmic niche]

👋

[versed niche]

❤️

[dawn crescent]

It's probably out of print right now so the price Is being hitched up, your best bet is buying it second hand

[noble raptor]

Or digital

[fiery hatch]

Where can I read comics ?

[pine hatch]

libraries, comic book stores, order them online, read them online, buy them second hand

[waxen wyvern]

If you buy them second hand, you can get them at thrift stores or antique stores!

[sacred lynx]

^ seconded for thrift stores. I bought a long out of print variant cover of my favorite character I didn't even know existed.

[ornate helm]

Fair enough, appreciate the help

[fierce arrow]

you can also just read hour long reviews on a specific comic issue through yt

i say "review" but its more like an explanation/read through

[shadow crown]

Anyone have any good comics to recommend? I’m trying to grow my collection and collect more Marvel books

[dawn crescent]

Any specific characters your Interested in?

[shadow crown]

I really like spiderman, daredevil, X-men in general, cap, and iron man

I also just wanna expand my knowledge of other characters as well

[glass wyvern]

If one more person doesn't put the hyphen in Spider-man I stg

[glass wyvern]

Ok so Ultinate Spider-man (Brian Micheal Bendis) is really solid

Daredevil Yellow is a decent title

I personally like the Claremont X-men

I need to read more but my tine is usually limited

[shadow crown]

Mb bro autocorrect 🤦🏼‍♂️

[shadow crown]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[glass wyvern]

Any interest in stuff out of Marvel? Cause I have a few

[shadow crown]

I enjoy DC/ Image comics, I wanna get into the new Transformers run but I can’t find any issues anywhere so I’m just about to buy the trades, I also enjoy the Absolute Universe as well. Invincible and Spawn are also very interesting

[glass wyvern]

So the first 4 volumes of Skybound Transformers are available

Collecting all 24 issues of Darren Warren Johnson's go at it

Try looking online for them to order, they're pretty easy to get from my experience

East of West is an great title

Mike Mignolas Hellboy stuff is phenomenal

[shadow crown]

I do have Hellboy

I have all compendiums

[glass wyvern]

Absolutely goated

[shadow crown]

It is

[glass wyvern]

My favourite fictional character

[shadow crown]

He’s awesome

[glass wyvern]

Low from Image is ok i guess

Not too special unfortunately and can be hard to follow in places, put it's a quick 26 issues and can be fun with it's premise

[shadow crown]

I see

[glass wyvern]

Damn I really need to read more don't I

Off to a comic shop on Saturday so I'll see what collections they have

[shadow crown]

I’m going to a really good store on Wednesday about an hour away from my usual shop so hopefully I can find something new to get invested in

[dawn crescent]

If your completely new to daredevil man without fear can be a great starting point and is available in paperback, zdarskys, waid, brubaker, bendis, Millers runs are also great. But Zdarskys daredevil run should be more wildly available and is overall great but messy in some aspects but still is good for newcomers

[mighty lotus]

Anyone here know where I could buy avenger of the supernatural issue 5 where it isn’t 30 dollars?

[heavy berry]

/download

[rugged latch]

The Guggenheim Blade run from 06-07 is really good, Garth Ennis Punisher is good (Marvel Knights and MAX) as well as Punisher: Year One, Captain Britain and MI13 is solid and also has Blade

[stiff sonnet]

why cannot i not log into my acc

hello????

[delicate turret]

this is the comics chat

[pine hatch]

Guggenheim and blade...We need go call it wraps

[keen haven]

Hello

Nice to be on here

[slow eagle]

JONATHAN HICKMAN AVENGERS AND NEW AVENGERS AND SECRET WARS IS THE BEST MARVEL STORY!

[pine hatch]

Xmen better

[stone adder]

Do y'all think Morbius can even be salvaged today?

[glass wyvern]

Now that's a bot if I have ever seen one

[lethal dirge]

I feel offended

How can you say that when Busiek has one of the all-timers man????

[upper lava]

ur name tho 🥀👀

[pine hatch]

now lets not lie please x

[lethal dirge]

I do not want to fight with an X Men fan please

I only ever read Peach Momoko’s Ultimate X Men

Which is actually good btw

[pine hatch]

why? we're normal

I'm rereading momoko's run!! i love her art style

[lethal dirge]

Omg YESSS!!!

[upper lava]

lmao that’s debatable as an xmen fan myself… at least depending on the person. but i digress lol

[pine hatch]

It was so good, as someone who's skeptical of any comics with the word "ultimate"

[upper lava]

fairs

[dawn crescent]

We all know bendis' daredevil run is the best right?

[pine hatch]

💀 I mean i'd wager we're the most normal

[pine hatch]

Just L take after L take today

[upper lava]

ok fair 😭

[dawn crescent]

Daredevil slander will not be tolerated unless it ahmeds run

[upper lava]

wym

[pine hatch]

Im just saying...WE all agree that miller's run is better

tho my personal fav will always be noncenti

[dawn crescent]

Debatable close second or third

Nocenti does cook hard but also love waids run too

[pine hatch]

it's miller then waid for me if we're talking about best

i hated brubaker

[dawn crescent]

Brubakers run is ok I feel like it's a let down after bendis run

But I hated ahmeds run had sm potential

[untold basin]

I can never remember author names I remember all doodoo and goated runs based on covers alone🙏

[pine hatch]

Had to put it down after the stuff with milla...like no thank you

[pine hatch]

okay but i thought it was okay? like sorry but i hold the take that daredevil comics are either great, good, or less good. Not bad

kuder's art is beautiful, and it's an interesting take on matt's life. Just the way bullseye and kingpin were written fell flat

[dawn crescent]

My main gripes is that I felt it should've committed to ideas harder like fisk being 'reformed' and I felt the seven deadly sins shtick lasted way too long and some of them felt wasted like pride. Also some of the writing with the stromwyn mushroom villain came of cringey and that whole bit felt really rushed

I really liked the aspects of him becoming a priest and looking after the Foster children but I wish they fleshed them out more

[pine hatch]

Yeahhhh i can agree with that 😞i just dont wanna fall on the hate train yk

Cuz it’s not like it’s ALL bad

[dawn crescent]

Yeah there are some aspects which are really great but in execution it falls flat, some of the stories in it are also really cute like the one one with the blind girl and elektra with the cat

[dapper linden]

Hey fellas, I’m not actually a big hero fan but I dabble and I have an opinion I need to see if anyone else has thought about, that being that Spider-Man sucks let me explain i’m not knowledgeable in the law, but to my knowledge only the original Spider-Man actually shoots webs, and they’re not engineered to shoot from his web shooters. I just find it strange that a superhero named Spider-Man who got his powers from a spider has basically every power of spider, except for the main one that everyone is aware of and spiders are known for which is shooting webs, have any actual comic fans thought of this?

If he wasn’t smart enough to invent the web shooters, he would just be “Sticks-to-walls-man”

[upbeat spade]

I checked Blackwulf to see Rex since he’ll be Ultron’s accessory

It’s kind of sad when Rex gets damaged and Ultron yells that humans keep destroying his companions

[slow eagle]

My statement still stands

[north parrot]

If they bring big wheel to rivals, he’ll be op

[modern rock]

Does anyone know about the marvel and dc comic crossover

[ornate helm]

You mean the amalgama universe crossover or the currently ongoing crossover?

[dry pond]

what one?

there’s the one that results into the amalgam universe, a few older one offs, the current new one offs.

deadpool actually makes mention of the recent batman one when he has dialogue with moon knight

[glass wyvern]

Y'know. I was putting off Ultimate Spider-man because i didn't like Bendis but this stuff is genuinely fantastic

[modern rock]

The ones where they have marvel characters fight dc characters

[dry pond]

thats all of them

[pine hatch]

Dont like bendis??

[glass wyvern]

Nah

Not a fan of him unfortunately

I don't like the way he writes dialogue a lot of the time

But Ultimate Spider-man has that sauce

[pine hatch]

Nah thats wild, bendis goated

ironically i dont care for his ultimate spiderman all that much

[glass wyvern]

Just the complete opposite

I respect it

Apart from the no hyphen anyway

[pine hatch]

listennn ive always been fickle with spider man comics

[jagged bramble]

ultimate spider-man (2000) is awesome, especially the ultimate team-up series. i actually got to meet him and get the super special issue of that series signed at a con

[glass wyvern]

That's genuinely so sick

[glass wyvern]

Now you're doing the no hyphen on purpose lol

[uncut timber]

Big Wheel would be terrifying

[lean helm]

Spider-Man Brand New Day trailer released spread the news!!!

[pine hatch]

maybe 🤭

[glass wyvern]

Smh

Just a rage baiter

[pine hatch]

Im pretty good at it

[glass wyvern]

Same. It's one of my favourite passtimes

[charred scroll]

Guys any comic recommendations? I’m currently reading gwenpool

[merry yoke]

Gwenpool's a great choice!

I'd say check out Hawkeye too

[charred scroll]

Yess i love her character so much

[charred scroll]

Which one?

[smoky wren]

Hi guys

[merry yoke]

Hi

[merry yoke]

what do you lyk most abt her? game play or personality?

[merry yoke]

the Hawkeye

[charred scroll]

I like her personality she’s so carefree

[charred scroll]

Ok! Ill keep that posted

[merry yoke]

or maybe try Deadpool's Secret Wars

[charred scroll]

Yess i love deadpool, i love both pools equally 😭

[merry yoke]

How far along are you now? almost done?

[charred scroll]

I think im still on issue 6?

[lunar hornet]

is Magus the opposite of Warlock? or it's just Warlock from the future?

[merry yoke]

Yes! Can't choose either! 🤯

[merry yoke]

nice! who's your second fav Marvel character?

[charred scroll]

Gotta be star-lord

[merry yoke]

Haha, good question 😅

I've been wondering the same!

[harsh hemlock]

gyuhhhh i've had such little energy for reading lately

i'm debating starting something totally fresh to try and jumpstart my brain back into it

[pine hatch]

i get this...comic book fatigue is normal tho, you eventually got back to it

[north parrot]

I feel like if big wheel was in this game, he would be a tank

[merry yoke]

Who else is excited for the new Avengers movie?

[harsh hemlock]

meeee

[brisk sphinx]

bruhh

[brisk sphinx]

yeahhh

[worldly mulch]

what?

[merry yoke]

nice they release a lot of teaser and im like 🤯

[merry yoke]

doomsday

[worldly mulch]

ohhh yeah, ngl I forgot about that, I'm more excited by the spiderman movie

cause it's sooner

[merry yoke]

yeah right

cant wait how they introduce other villains

[heady ferry]

anyone here have read the latest issue for Marc Spector: Moon Knight?

cause man
||when Mr. Smith had already revealed himself to be Bushman, Zodiac got JEALOUS AF 😭 ||

[worldly mulch]

the sentinels are great

[merry yoke]

do you think punisher and spider man will team up?

[untold basin]

Infernal hulk issue 5 was so buns bro💔💔

[merry yoke]

what are you planning to try?

[tawdry fossil]

I’m reading it rn

[tawdry fossil]

How they building up dawg

[merry yoke]

wait fr?? 😭 is it worth reading?

[merry yoke]

how was it

[harsh hemlock]

hmmm im not sure i've been meaning to read hawkeye for a while

what are you reading atm?

[tawdry fossil]

The run is amazing so far😭

[spring solar]

I love how i asked for help agen they tell me to inbox them i do qnd get no respons this is a terbul comunit and an even worses suport sytum i hope this game chrashes

[harsh hemlock]

Bruh this is the comics chat

[spring solar]

And i dont care i have veen asking for help in all of the chats for 3 months and get nothing

[merry yoke]

I've heard good things abt Hawkeye 👀

I'm currently just getting into some Marvel stuff.

[merry yoke]

whic issue are you now

[tawdry fossil]

It’s currently 2 issues I’m mid way through the 2nd Moon Knight issue ngl

[harsh hemlock]

Cooool like what?

[rain tapir]

LOL yes it was so sick

[rain tapir]

have you read the other runs before it bc they add sm it’s sooo good

[tawdry fossil]

Yeah I’m fully caught up on it

[rain tapir]

also i just read xmen united … absolutely buns

[rain tapir]

good good i wasn’t sure if u just started w marc spector : moon knight or did the others too

i loved vengeance of the moon knight it was sooo good

[tawdry fossil]

I wanna see where it goes it seems interesting

[rain tapir]

yesssss

i’m so sat 😭 that and the cyclops run rn 🥳🥳 so good

[tawdry fossil]

I Alr know they plan to bring back krakoa at some point

Have you read caps solo run?

[rain tapir]

noo i haven’t

i mostly have been sticking w xmen n catching up on Decades of that & moon knight haha

and blade ! i’m reading a blade omnibus rn

[waxen wyvern]

Marc Spector: Moon Knight was PEAK!!!!

[tawdry fossil]

That’s understandable you should give his run a try it’s definitely interesting

[rain tapir]

i shall 👀👀

[untold basin]

Building up to what?

[tawdry fossil]

The final fight between infernal hulk and probably Bruce/hulk. since the hulk scape has been in shambles. Plus Ironman has been trying to get Bruce to go after hulk

This issue isn’t buns tho it’s pretty good so far

[untold basin]

Oh that

[untold basin]

Idk man the "small nukes" part was kinda terrible

[tawdry fossil]

Plus all the other hulks trapped in the hulk scape are fighting inside but Bruce definitely needs to come back

[untold basin]

You wanna make infernal hulk sound like a cosmic threat make it sound like his fists have the power to break planets behind them, especially since this is supposedly the strongest version

[tawdry fossil]

This definitely isn’t his strongest form it’s one of them since it’s the mother of horrors in hulks body. But this isn’t even his peak. But I see what you mean

[untold basin]

I think PKJ will try to ignore that aspect as much as he can, we barely got other alters in the previous run, I don't have hopes for this one, although I would like to see hulk spaceship stuff return in some way since Bruce can subdue the hulkscape with advanced enough technology

They ignoring how insane and brutal Bruce can be when he needs to be, and if this issue is anything to go of off, hopefully we do get to see that side again

[tawdry fossil]

I mean at the end he did say he has to go back and iron man now has the one above all spear this could be peak writing

[untold basin]

Man I miss al ewing's writing on hulk

[tawdry fossil]

This run definitely is showing us how big of a threat hulk truly is tho showing his fight against the one above all

[tawdry fossil]

Give this run time it’s been good so far

[untold basin]

I think if I hadn't read immortal hulk just before getting into infernal, I would've enjoyed it much more

[tawdry fossil]

Did you read the run that happens before infernal ???

It sets up the whole infernal event

[untold basin]

Yep that was my first hulk run ever

After that I decided to get into immortal and spaceship

[tawdry fossil]

Damn that’s valid

[untold basin]

I kinda love the alters too much so having them be absent for too long (especially devil hulk) makes me a sad boy

I'm realizing I like characters with MPD a lot

[noble raptor]

Thought I'd mention Undead Iron Fist & Deadly Hands of K'un-Lun

[untold basin]

Oh yea I didn't read that at all

When did iron fist die bro

[tawdry fossil]

These are decent tbh

[noble raptor]

50th anniversary

I can't be mad tho, the new books are actually really good

[tawdry fossil]

The anniversary run but they revived Danny during the Undead run which came out this year

I just hope they do more with Lin Lie

[noble raptor]

Deadly Hands is gonna do that 100%

It's currently still releasing

[untold basin]

What's lin lei's current state are they doing like a miles morales Peter Parker duo thingy

[noble raptor]

Issue 2 hits on the 25th

[tawdry fossil]

Apparently Danny is supposed to come back soon in the MCU alongside Luke

[noble raptor]

Issue 3 on April 29th

[tawdry fossil]

Since they are doing the Devils Reign event

[noble raptor]

I am not gonna look at that man

[untold basin]

Please god not Netflix "iron fist"

[noble raptor]

Netflix stuff gotta be steamrolled over cause like Finn was not it, no good writing was gonna save him

Everything about that iteration of the character totalled it

[untold basin]

Jessica, Luke and DD got much better treatment I wonder what went wrong

[noble raptor]

Issue 4, final on May 20th?

Yep 20th

[tawdry fossil]

Idk he kinda ruined it by not training and being a lazy actor in the defenders Netflix show he did so much better

[noble raptor]

The netflix verse was a horrible place to put him

[tawdry fossil]

I still haven’t finished the Luke Cage series

I think it’s time too

[untold basin]

I actually liked the idea since I grew up watching ultimate spiderman I was like yoooo Luke and Danny team up pog and then I witnessed cheeks

[noble raptor]

You can't put Iron Fist in the era afraid to be comic booky.

Danny is synonomous with Kung Fu and Comic Book funk

[noble raptor]

Exactly, Danny slapped here cause he was able to lean into who he is

[tawdry fossil]

In Season two they leaned into it right??

[untold basin]

So we're getting a soft reset after Armageddon right

[noble raptor]

I did not bother watching, all I know is that the suit did not go for an actual martial artist suit and nothing fantastical or fantasy based appeared

[untold basin]

Secret wars type deal

[noble raptor]

Seemingly?

That's a rumour rn people tend to believe in

Might be true tbh?

[tawdry fossil]

Somewhat

[untold basin]

I would like that a lot tbf

A soft reset every 10 years seems neat

[tawdry fossil]

I don’t think it’ll be like that

[noble raptor]

Soft reboot I think is the aim

[tawdry fossil]

I just hope it doesn’t have mcu type synergy

[noble raptor]

So the world will be as is, characters will probably stay dead

[tawdry fossil]

Like who???

[untold basin]

Danny obviously

[sacred lynx]

weve been asking for them to stop and they keep doing it and wonder why readers arent buying comics anymore

[untold basin]

Rick Jones as well lmao

[noble raptor]

But there'll be new changes like Mutants existing and F4 being in this universe

[noble raptor]

Cap & Tony easily

They had their trilogies done with.

Cap's one of my top heroes but he had his time, move on give Sam actual good stuff to do

[untold basin]

I think there's a disconnect here

[tawdry fossil]

Mcu or Comics??

[noble raptor]

MCU

[tawdry fossil]

Yeah that’s true I wish it never was a thing tbh

[noble raptor]

Just remembered Armageddon is a legit thing coming up

[untold basin]

Let ultimate spiderman continue💔💔

[noble raptor]

So idk about that?

It's clear something new's going on judging by Cap #1 redoing the intro to the world for some reason (assuming we mean road to Armaggedon)

[untold basin]

Take the others leave him ong

[noble raptor]

He's staying gone 100%

[untold basin]

💔💔💔

[noble raptor]

The only potential crossover I could see is Jim Hammond since I genuinely cannot remember what he last did in main marvel continuity

[untold basin]

Imma read intergalactic black panther tomorrow see what the hell is up with that

"Blacktavius"

[noble raptor]

Some is good tbf, like Ava Starr is a better Ghost tbh

[sacred lynx]

there are definitely some improvements and i love layla from mcu MK. but mostly its just ruining the perception of my faves 😭

[noble raptor]

Scott Lang as the main Ant-Man too (tho that was how it was for years iirc)

[tawdry fossil]

Idk I wish pym was

[sacred lynx]

i wish they could both do it at the same time

i wish janet was more popular

[tawdry fossil]

Pym was my favorite ant man tbh that’s why

[noble raptor]

Pym's one of those who kinda just had his time I feel

He was there in the 60's he had his life did his things, ultimately made fatal mistakes.

He's a good character to look at as "the old guy who made mistakes not to follow from", just not one I can see going forward

[tawdry fossil]

Tbf if it wasn’t for him or Janet the avengers wouldn’t exist frfr

[sacred lynx]

ABSOLUTE FACTSSSS

i wish the mcu stressed this much more

janet literally gave them the most iconic name ever

[noble raptor]

True, but even still

[tawdry fossil]

I don’t think people understand this because they play the biggest role in the team

[tawdry fossil]

Wym

[noble raptor]

Despite adoring the way the MCU deals with it's Ant-Cast, yeah Janet's the one that sucks with how she is

She's just a scientist, not a mentioned fashionista or anyone higher up in heroics. Just Hank's secondary.

[sacred lynx]

this kills me so much

[tawdry fossil]

Idk I honestly wish the mcu handled they characters way better than they do/did

[sacred lynx]

shes so much more. shes also one of she-hulks besties :/

[noble raptor]

Tho Quantumania visually showed Janet's fashionista parts

[tawdry fossil]

But I’m ngl the panel of him slapping Janet was taken out of context and mis handled by so many people including the writer who apologized for it several times

[noble raptor]

True.

Going from Steve in the movies to the books was night and damn day, it was a breath of actual fresh air

I actually felt inspired instead of "oh this is neat'.

And this is just talking about the 2023/2024 run of the character

[tawdry fossil]

Idk I thought Steve was a 1/1 to his comic counterpart

[noble raptor]

But that's not really a thing that can be brought up, Marvel went through with it.

It's a mistake all it is but Marvel comitted, the mistake is not what did Hank in it was Marvel taking that mistake in stride

If Marvel moved passed it, it wouldn't have changed Hank

[tawdry fossil]

Idk it’s the main thing people bring up they ignore the fact that Pym has the most trauma and mental health issues out of a lot of hero’s excluding Hulk and Sentry

I feel like his trauma could’ve atleast been explored throughout the first antman movie

I liked it though

[noble raptor]

No, I mean if Marvel treated it as a shoo away then people wouldn't bring it up.

Spider-Man did the same thing to MJ yet they acted like it didn't happen which is why no one mentions it.

[tawdry fossil]

I’m ngl I will say I didn’t spider-Man did that I thought it was a fake or sum

[merry yoke]

like the wild Marvel timelines! Have you read the Infinity Warlock stuff ?

[drifting wave]

hi

[slow eagle]

Heyo

[safe beacon]

Question for anyone who's read more Angela than me; has she ever actually worn the new skin she got in the season 7 battlepass in the comics?

[tawdry fossil]

Yeah when she ruled over hel im pretty sure

[noble raptor]

Yes, it's been a look of hers for years

Used in TinyCo's Avengers Academy and Marvel Future Fight

[dark flint]

Yeah movie and comics Steve are two different types of heroes, they're still heroes tho

[dark flint]

Avengers academy...

[heady ferry]

Jed MacKay's Moon Knight has ALWAYS been worth reading

[heady ferry]

FR yeah
at least to make up for having to see yet another horrendous treatment Moon Knight's been dealt with as a character in Marvel Rivals 💀
saw the interaction between him & White Fox 😒

[tawdry fossil]

I noticed that ☠️☠️

[heady ferry]

||Zodiac really went "HE'S MY MAN! BACK OFF BOOMER!". This'll be interesting considering now that Bushman & Zodiac are in the mix & it's like a free for all||

[heady ferry]

I'm so tired of Moon Knight being so slanderized by both devs & players already in Rivals 😭

[heady ferry]

even in the MCU, there was decency & respect for Moon Knight's DID & mental health where he was taken seriously

[round roost]

I barely started Deadpool kills the marvel universe, and this dude somehow killed the watcher

With the fantastic four

And Spider-Man?

[heavy wagon]

Only one piece

I'm on chapter 20ish

[merry yoke]

u prefer reading it? not watching it?

[obsidian anvil]

Any good Hawkeye comics besides the saga

[noble raptor]

Avengers Spotlight is solid, idk what the saga is so Matt Fraction's is...ok ig?

I didn't like it much other than the introductory issues

New Avengers and then The Young Avengers Kate Bishop one he slaps there (whatever the tagline for his in-game Ronin skin says cause the line comes from that book)

[merry yoke]

hawkeye freefall?

[deft pecan]

[dawn crescent]

Yesss I've read some but jjba is my favourite

[somber solstice]

yo anyone know good iron fist comics for me to not hate orson his guns are lame

[dry pond]

i may actually pass on this one

“Back in my day comics were the real movies!” - 👴 probably some old man

Genuinely was gonna say something in here about that yesterday

Why is Ami being ableist and the first time anyone acknowledges Marc's DID is with him getting put down for it?? Rivals MK feels like chatgpt got fed the plot of age of khonshu and the MCU show

[hallow terrace]

hi

[sterile notch]

Hello

[clever hamlet]

[nova crystal]

Comical

[tall grove]

is there anywhere to read the marvel comics outside of the unlimited app? (am I even allowed to ask this?)

[merry yoke]

google play books i think?

[drowsy fiber]

[timber hamlet]

[shy latch]

Hi

[prime stag]

Y’all see any of the new covers for the upcoming issues of Rivals?

Nogi San is a great artist and she posted an upcoming cover for Blackcat on her insta.

My bad, it’s a sketch but she’s done covers in the past. So possible cover.

[smoky cipher]

The covers look sick

[sleek hull]

i just read all the iron fist comics.

[past frigate]

All of them?

I don't follow a lot of iron fist but there should be a long list right?

[sleek hull]

only the ones where hes the main character

[pine hatch]

lmfao which iron fist tho?

[calm hollow]

Can’t wait to see what happens in Armageddon

[terse light]

hey guys i’m tryna get into the comics, where do i start

[dawn crescent]

Which characters do you like

[hard tundra]

Can we be friends

[terse light]

wolverine, cyclops, spidey, gambit rogue

[pine hatch]

i think everyone should start with ewing hulk

[dawn crescent]

Weapon x can be good origin for wolverine, gambit 2012/ x-men origins: gambit is good too, there is quite a lot of stuff with the x-men that I haven't read but Claremonts x-men run is great. For spider-man if you want a more modern story ultimate spider-man 2000s can be a good place to start

[knotty sonnet]

thats cool

[merry yoke]

Do you want stuff more modern or old school?

[merry yoke]

why

[merry yoke]

Some plot twists feel kinda out there for me. Anyone else feels the same? haha

[urban void]

idk because I haven’t read a ton of comics before, can I get an example

[terse light]

thank you !! silly question, is there any background info id need to know before reading ?

[dawn crescent]

Npp, most those recommendations should have the origins for those characters and plot points

[frozen matrix]

Comics

[north parrot]

What are some good comics to learn about white fox?

[ornate helm]

Anything related to agents of atlas should cover a good part of her story

[dense parcel]

Think this game will do anything that involves the OG Ultimate universe?
Like add some skins, maybe a season revolving brining it back from the depths of nothingness, etc?

[frosty kelp]

could iron man beat gojo if he had no armor and no preptime

and both his legs were broken

[ocean roost]

I want ti start reading comics about venom any one able to push me in the right direction

[warm helm]

[ornate helm]

Yes!!! Would you like to read old-school, newer ones? Symbiote events? Eddie brock, flash thompson, lee price?

[radiant blade]

[ocean roost]

I would prefer some old school ones

[merry yoke]

i think u should start with venom;lethal protector

[ornate helm]

Neat, then you'll probably like the amazing spiderman #148464084610711569000 #148464084610711569014-317, maximum carnage (venom plays a critical role in this story), venom: lethal protector and venom: the hunger, that's about as old-school as venom gets!

[final light]

For those who didn’t know, Jeff the Land Shark is a genetically altered “land shark” in the Marvel Comics universe who first appeared in 2018, created by Kelly Thompson and Daniele Di Nicuolo, and comes from experiments likely done by groups like A.I.M., where animals were modified with advanced science to survive outside their natural environments, explaining what he is and how he exists as a shark that can walk on land; his exact origin location isn’t clearly shown but is implied to be secret labs used by villain organizations, placing his creation in the modern Marvel timeline after events like Secret Wars, when strange new beings became more common; Jeff’s life really begins when he’s found and adopted by Gwenpool, who names him and becomes his caretaker, turning him from an experiment into a companion and answering the key “who” in his story; he later joins the West Coast Avengers in Los Angeles alongside heroes like Kate Bishop and America Chavez, where he helps in missions using his durability, agility, and weird ability to swallow things way bigger than himself, showing how he contributes despite not having typical powers; after the team splits, Jeff keeps appearing with characters like Deadpool and eventually stars in It’s Jeff!, where his adventures take place in different locations and focus on his chaotic, curious, food-obsessed personality, often solving problems by accident; overall, Jeff’s story is about how a lab experiment became one of Marvel’s most loved and wholesome characters, known for loyalty, resilience, and cartoon-like abilities that let him survive almost anything while bringing humor and heart to the Marvel Universe.

[ocean roost]

Thank you

thank you im gonna check them all out !!

Chuck Norris passed away yesterday.
(I'm saying this in comics chat because he had a 1987 comic book series, which was a tie-in to the 1986 cartoon Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos, that was was published by Star Comics which is owned by Marvel Comics)

[dry pond]

not quite 1:1 but pretty much it

[merry yoke]

is it real or just another internet rumors about Chuck norris?

[rare grail]

I know about all the jokes and rumors about Chuck Norris, but it's true- his family gave a public statement about his passing.

[ornate helm]

It did happen, it was confirming this morning

Confirmed * lol

[merry yoke]

yeah just checked it.

[minor grove]

hi

[timber hamlet]

you are so right i cant agree more

[amber panther]

interesting, i just know chuck norris from the memes. Didn't realise he had comics.

[merry yoke]

me too

didn't know he had comics

[lunar peak]

I wish they had a team up for White Fox and Luna and Iron Fist—… because canonically wouldn’t that fit?

[dense parcel]

Think anyone from the OG Ultimate comics will ever return? Like the other OG Ultimate Fantastic 4 members, Ultimate Peter, Ultimate Iron Man?

[kindred shale]

Hi

[blazing sentinel]

Wait, so did Black Cat's father die when she was 13 or when she was an adult? The comics seem to have conflicting stories

[ornate helm]

When she was an adult, he asked felicia's mom to lie to her about that when she was 13, but he became ill (can't say the specific illness due to the chat moderation) and well, let's just say he didn't make it

[whole plank]

Can’t wait for this duo in game

[ornate helm]

Does anyone have a favorite comic cover/artist?

[dense parcel]

I LOVE Humberto Ramos

[ebon saddle]

Russel Dauterman man was a blessing to storm fans everywhere love him

[past frigate]

Black cat and Invis? When did that happen?

Also which issue?

[dawn crescent]

I will always be a sucker for Alex Ross covers

[deep wagon]

So true

[waxen wyvern]

There are a lot of artists that make great covers so for me I'd say Peach Momoko, E.M. Gist, and Rod Reis.

[lapis pulsar]

yo

[pine hatch]

Peach momoko and david marquez highkey

[noble raptor]

• David Marquez (Gail Simmone's Uncanny X-Men)
• The original Thunderbolts artists (Mark Bagley/Vince Russell)
• Captain America's Heroes Return Artists (Ron Garney, Bob Wiacheck & Digital Chameleon?)
• Simone Di Meo (Currently working on X-Men of Appocalypse)
  &
• Billy Tan (Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon)

For art stuff related to comics in general, Jeremy Roberts is fantastic for the "Origin Books" and other stuff

[dawn crescent]

Peach momokos stuff is always beautiful especially her cover on the nightmare version of daredevil #4

[ornate helm]

Amazing artist, gotta respect that guy, i heard he voiced a character in the latin american dub for spiderman across the spiderverse

[ornate helm]

The GOAT! He's drawn lots of my favorite comic covers (specially love the one he made for the amazing spiderman 800)

[weak imp]

David Nakayama lowk

[pastel sleet]

Who’s the LEAST comic accurate character so far?

[pine hatch]

patch is like, logan's other secret identity. When he was in madripoor he went by patch and wore a white suit with an eyepatch to hide his identity as an xman. Hama wrote a pretty sweet miniseries about the alter ego in '22

I mean, idk how it works in the MCU multiverse but that's how it goes in the comics. And no problem x

[gilded wadi]

whats a comic (jk)

[pastel sleet]

Let’s go with Rivals specifically

[devout copper]

I belive that hulk is the strongest charater comic wise in rivals mostly because of his feat of beating the one above all

[ornate helm]

I'm gonna say star-lord since they went along with his mcu personality retcon, he was originally a very serious, lone ranger kinda character

[minor wadi]

🔥

[pine hatch]

Moon knight was screwed over the worst. Scarlet witch too...? Like WHY is she hostile towards Magneto?? Punisher flirting with elsa as well?? All of his voicelines are kinda weird. Namor, sue, reed. Very weird stuff.

[ornate helm]

There's a bunch of details that were changed in the movies, like gamora being romantically involved with star-lord, groot being a language (his species can talk normally in the comics, he just has a condition that only allows him to say i am groot), drax's personality, mantis being star-lord's sister, etc.

[pine hatch]

has to be angela. She wasn't even originally from marvel lmfao

Everyone else is pretty basic knowledge if you're inot the NICHE niche. Like I read two agents of atlas comics in the past

[ornate helm]

True, angela was created to exist in image comics (specifically in spawn's universe) her mere existence in marvel was not meant to be at all, but now she's thor's sister and all lol

[pine hatch]

You done?

someone stop him

[ornate helm]

You know what they say, you gotta love a friendly neighborhood

[glass wyvern]

I found Jeff Lemires Moon Knight stuff

Oh glorious day

[pine hatch]

W topic change this guy was making me go crazy

[ornate helm]

Lol

[glass wyvern]

I'm not drunk enough to know the context

OH CRUD HE WAS DOING PUNS

Nevermind. Carry on

[pine hatch]

it's goated!! a little lost if you haven't read other MK stuff

[glass wyvern]

I should be fine... probably

Yeah alright, kill this guy

Though, getting more epic collection graphic novels makes me feel so giddy with joy

[pine hatch]

on EVERYONE'S life i hope you get ultron jeff backline in your next rankDOWN

[glass wyvern]

Expensive sure but they're so worthwhile

[pine hatch]

omnibus STAYS being the best way to consume comcis imo

[glass wyvern]

Been collecting the Claremont X-men stuff because of it so agreed

Got 6 of them now

Even got some of the Ann Nocenti Daredevil run

[ornate helm]

I'll drink to that

[glass wyvern]

I wish I had the alcohol to do that

[ornate helm]

Agreed

[pine hatch]

IT'S THE BEST i could talk about claremont xmen for DAYS

[pine hatch]

I SAID IT IN HERE my fav daredevil run, love noncenti more than waid and bendis and zdarsky

[ornate helm]

What comics do y'all have in your collections? I'd totally mention mine, but it'd take a while, i will mention my top 3 faves: absolute carnage, iron man iron and diamonds and avengers: time runs out

[glass wyvern]

I've only read a small of part of it. Specifically part of the Typhoid Mary stuff as that was the first omnibus I collected for Daredevil

Absolutely adored it to pieces

So I'm excited to continue that arc with the next Omnibus

[glass wyvern]

Ok so the fact that Nightcrawler is the greatest X-men

I just wish his mini series was just a tad bit better personally

[pine hatch]

Uhhhh cates venom, most of the krakoa era, secret wars, noncenti daredevil, claremont*** x-men. There's probably more at my folks

[glass wyvern]

I can't answer this unfortunately, I'm away from home for a few days

But I have a few Marvel epic collections
A few Bendis events like Avengers vs X-men, House and M and Age of Ultron

[pine hatch]

they gon fry you for this but i hear you...I sometimes wish he was real so he could be my patron saint or something

[glass wyvern]

Fry me for what? Being right?

[pine hatch]

the one from the 80s?

[glass wyvern]

That's the one

[pine hatch]

was it dave who wrote that?

Cant write his last name evne tho its literally just a last name

[glass wyvern]

I wish it delved more into his personal division in faith that he got from seeing the beyonder

Instead of just being random bull**** central

[pine hatch]

so basically same ish as matthew LMFAO

[glass wyvern]

That's the guy

No cause like when he goes to the pastor from his church and just pours his heart out about how divided he feels is so bloody heart breaking

In the same issue as when Kitty Pryde said 'the thing'

[pine hatch]

that thing has followed her for literal DECADES 😭

[glass wyvern]

She ain't living that down I'm afraid

Same as Colossus being 'the thing'

[glass wyvern]

I do wanna say that this issue tackles the theme of redemption and letting go of the past in such a beautiful way at the end

With Magneto talking Rachel out of killing people

[pine hatch]

being a colossus fan genuinely one of the most tiring things you can do to yourself

[glass wyvern]

I loved him at the start

I thought he was such a endearing character, especially at a time in Marvels history where Russian characters were often villains

And then that happened

[pine hatch]

as an older sibling, i get how he feels with ilyanna and even mikhail

i LOVE the gentle giant trope so much

[glass wyvern]

The way he acts around Kurt as well is so cool as well

Y'know what. It's been nearly 2 years since I've read the start of Claremont. My memory is a lil foggy on things

Apart from medieval fantasy bull

[pine hatch]

around the same time as me lmfao

[glass wyvern]

I only started because of those omnibus's but I never git them in order.

I got 5, 7, 9 and then 12 and 13

So my Claremont experience unfortunately has gaps

Just trying to read what I can

[pine hatch]

i think that counts still

[glass wyvern]

Sorry. I just love comics so much, the moment I get started talking about them is the moment I can finally just let my social anxiety go

[pine hatch]

Comics are so goated man, wish more people talked about them here

[heady ferry]

dude why do they keep treating my Moonie so dirty 😭

[heady ferry]

both actually

[glass wyvern]

They are absolutely goated, but I also have massive Stockholm syndrome towards them

[heady ferry]

you talking about Werewolf by Night?

[sacred lynx]

sameee

[heady ferry]

the MCU show is not even remotely in the same vein as Age of Khonshu nor Rivals Moon Knight 💀

[pine hatch]

the 2023 book? i see it sorry

[heady ferry]

wait what 2023 book?

cause as far as comic issues go, it's just MacKay & Blood Hunt for Moon Knight

[pine hatch]

Aaron's run i think it was?

didn't it go to 2024? or am i tweaking

[heady ferry]

dude, MacKay has been writing Moon Knight since 2021

[waxen wyvern]

Plus Ami gets the info wrong: it's not a personality disorder but a dissociative disorder. I feel like a super spy would know this?

[pine hatch]

Avengers age of khonshu?

it was kinda mid...

[glass wyvern]

My favourite kind of Avengers story

[waxen wyvern]

The move names were cool but TBH I was not a fan of it

[pine hatch]

It was....yeah, kinda bad 😭 and i tried to like it

The art was pretty tho

[waxen wyvern]

I tried to like to but that one panel with MK and BP....yeah I don't think I can.

[heady ferry]

wait I still don't know which you were referring to about this 2023 Moon Knight book
cause if u thought it's Age of Khonshu, that's like an older issue

[pine hatch]

that MIGHT be my bad, i read it in 2023 😭
I'm pretty sure it came out around then tho

[glass wyvern]

Oh now I really do want to read it

[heady ferry]

that's 2018
and if I'm right, Bemis also did a bad run for Moon Knight

[waxen wyvern]

TURN BACK B4 ITS TOO LATE!!!
*jk do whatever u want

[pine hatch]

one of the cool things about lemire was how you couldn't tell if khonshu was real or if MK was hard tweaking

The fact that aaron made him "real" was so odd

[heady ferry]

MCU Moon Knight even was still taken seriously & can throw hands

[glass wyvern]

I've read Avengers vs X-men, how bad can It possibly be

[heady ferry]

Khonshu being real isn't exactly a problem tho

[pine hatch]

the age of khonshu, the 8 books? was around post covid

[waxen wyvern]

What happens in that one...?

[glass wyvern]

Where do i start?

Do i start at Cyclops killing Xavier?

[heady ferry]

Age of Khonshu is pre-COVID

2021 onward, Jed MacKay took over Moon Knight

[pine hatch]

I know some people didn't mind it but it really did rub me the long way. I liked the intrigue

[pine hatch]

yeah that makes sense cuz i know vol 7 or 8 was jan of 2021

[waxen wyvern]

TBH I'd prefer Khonshu being real

[heady ferry]

ehh as far as I've only read Ellis, Lemire, & MacKay, I have looked into Moon Knight's comic history & uhm...I can see why MCU Moon Knight can never be comic accurate

cause how can you make him comic accurate when his lore is all over the place??? Sure you can just make it like "everything is not real", but it's not something you can just keep overdoing in the long run

one minute, he's street level, next thing you know, he's an Avenger, then another minute you're somehow godly

he wasn't really consistent basically...

been meaning to read his older comics starting with his debut in Werewolf by Night

[pine hatch]

keep it that way, if that's the catalogue you will HATE what aaron did 😭 😭

the issues with the mcu show wasn't even comic accurate, like come on, this is the mcu we're talking about. We will never get comic accurate, from starlord, to mantis, to hulk, to bucky.

the issue was everything else imo

[heady ferry]

anyways, I REALLY wish Moon Knight is taken more seriously in Rivals

[pine hatch]

LITERALLY this

[heady ferry]

if it's cause that it wasn't really violent and Feige made it seem like it, sure
but will say that at the time Moon Knight was being produced, no R-rated movie or TV-MA show were in Disney+, there wasn't even parental controls for Disney+ at the time

so they were producing it with TV-14 in mind, it would also explain the dissociation blackout moments (which were actually well done & not even overdone at all. The finale was the one time the blackout didn't necessarily sit well for some)

as for Feige, well that is on him
and I'm pretty sure it was around the time he's stretched thin with overseeing projects

[pine hatch]

again, makes perfect sense, i can sympathize with this, same reason they kept dancing around thing's like bruce's past and the red room

But why remove anything about Marc being Jewish?

[heady ferry]

bruh Marc in the MCU is Jewish

[pine hatch]

There was ONE scene with him with a kippah, that doesn't cut it for me 💔

[heady ferry]

if it's cause Oscar Isaac not being Jewish
then it would mean Ian McKellen & Michael Fassbender weren't the right choice either for playing Magneto

[pine hatch]

That's a completely different thing

But yes youre right. As much as i love the acting chops it's important to me that the actors are Jewish

[heady ferry]

you mean when he threw it down? cause that scene had a purpose of showing Marc finally breaking down in self-loathe. It was meant to be disrespectful, cause Marc's disrespecting himself. He NEVER respects & loves himself.

[waxen wyvern]

Ig they just dont rlly focus on it in the mcu cuz mental health is more central in the show

[heady ferry]

Pretty sure if religion is in play, all it matters is understanding said religion.
It's actually Oscar's 4th time playing a Jewish character.

[waxen wyvern]

Wait fr? That's wild

[heady ferry]

and in fact, the previous times Oscar played a Jewish character, it's been explored or ingrained more

[heady ferry]

yes
The Nativity Story where he played Joseph, Operation Finale where he played an agent hunting down a war criminal, & Scenes from a Marriage where he played a Orthodox Jewish professor (said miniseries was also directed by a Jewish director)

[pine hatch]

There's also a cultural aspect. You throw a kippah down, you kiss it picking it up back up

+Kind of wish they delved more into Marc's dad. How he grew up with antisemitism. It might not be that serious to the average viewer but for me? It meant something to me 💔

[heady ferry]

Jewish is part of his identity, right?
why do you think he threw that kippah when he tried to go to his mother's shiva?

[sacred lynx]

pls keep this to comics chat

#off-topic-chat is there for mcu/actor talk

[pine hatch]

Yeah, yeah, he was feeling broken and mourning and all that. I get it feels like such a minor thing but it's not for me. Especially after reading how the comics portrayed this important part of marc's identity

[heady ferry]

which is exactly why they showed that
if it was never an important part of his identity, that wouldn't have happened, he'd just collapse & breakdown only.
wouldn't necessarily say you should like it, but that moment had purpose in the end.

Anyways, I love Moon Knight for being a complex character, a character with depth & nuance in both the comics & MCU, which Rivals sorely lacks.

you also read Marc Spector: Moon Knight (2026) recently?

[pine hatch]

It's something, i guess..? It deserves more in my opinion

I can like the mcu show for what it is, but after reading the 2021 books after watching it...it was so eh

[pine hatch]

oooh i have not. it's on my list fosho, i love mackay

idk how i feel about a relaunch but it's jed so we dont care

[heady ferry]

Feel like that part of representation is best suited in a future story since they were establishing an entirely new complex character, which is all the more frustrating he has not returned since 2022

[pine hatch]

idt it's good for new readers tho, it gets confusing eventually

[heady ferry]

well, it could be worst honestly
Moon Knight's comic history has always been all over the place

[austere wren]

Alright I'll check it out thx

[pine hatch]

Bendis USM too

[ornate helm]

That's... what i just said

[dry solstice]

hello guys

[glass wyvern]

The old Ultimate Spider-man is a decent way to start.
Though I do think going back in time to around the Gerry Conway run in the early 70's is a good way

If you're familiar with 60's comics, I do recommend just starting out from the very beginning with Amazing Fantasy 15 and continue on with his Stan Lee and Steve Ditko run

Though I do think USM is a good starting point

[austere wren]

The only comic I read so far is the first few moon knight but that's about it

I want to start reading them but idk where to start

[glass wyvern]

The USM run is a good one

Also I think Platnium books while I don't particularly like them all too much now, I do think they're good ways to start with a character

They're how I started out with Spider-man

[glass wyvern]

Haven't even read that yet

[pine hatch]

neither have i, i dont read spiderman 😭 😭

[glass wyvern]

Though Dan Slotts stuff I did enjoy reading when getting into Spidey

Kinda cringe

I'm joking

Still kinda cringe

Though you do save yourself from being disappointed on a near annual basis

[pine hatch]

bro hasn't had a good comic since like...2018 😭

what was the last spiderverse event?

[glass wyvern]

Yeah 😔

[pine hatch]

it was in my local library, looked good

[glass wyvern]

Idk I don't pay attention too much to modern Peter

Miles is just a better character nowadays, he's my go to when it comes to Spider-man

[charred scroll]

Hello i need guidance with this comic stuff lol

[glass wyvern]

What comic character or team you thinking about?

[charred scroll]

No i just feel like i still havent connected with liking comics

Ive been reading gwenpool

And i dont like how the art switches

[glass wyvern]

That's a common thing

[charred scroll]

And sometimes everything’s like so confusing to me

[charred scroll]

So i’ve heard

[glass wyvern]

Is it the multiple characters being introduced and such like that?

[charred scroll]

Mostly yeah

[glass wyvern]

Yeah that'll happen when it comes down to characters from a large history. Best advice i can give with stuff like that is to take it as it goes

[charred scroll]

I read comics on my phone and sometimes its hard to try and have fun because its too small

[charred scroll]

Ive read ultimate spiderman and dropped it on issue 7 cuz of the same thing

[glass wyvern]

With the Ultimate stuff that is meant to be a fresh start

[charred scroll]

I really liked inhumans, marvel knights black panther and daredevil

[charred scroll]

Yeah i actually looked up comic guides

Maybe i should try reading comics on my laptop that has a bigger screen? Idk

[glass wyvern]

Good idea

Though zooming on a phone helps but it can be annoying

Especially for splash pages

[charred scroll]

Yes!!

[charred scroll]

It ruins the experience so much

[glass wyvern]

I find it's decent enough personally

I just prefer physical editions

Also I would try some independent titles as well outside of superhero comics

[charred scroll]

I’ll keep that posted, thanks!

[glass wyvern]

If you need any recommendations just be sure to ask

Weirdly enough not everyone here talks just Marvel so go nuts

I would personally recommend stuff like Hellboy, Skybound Transformers and East of West

[abstract plaza]

The two walked down the slot canyon oblivious to the sound of thunder in the distance.

[pine hatch]

Highkey transformers the only media i like the comics off, you aint ever gonna catch me reading no DC content

other than marvel obvi

[frank locust]

I feel like DC beats marvel in the Comics, Animated shows and movies, and games (besides rivals) but Marvel got them beat on live action movies

Both are goated tho obvi

[pine hatch]

nah i hard disagree

[merry yoke]

i fully disagree with that

[frank locust]

Personal opinion but I would like to hear y’all’s explanation on it

[past rover]

As a dc fan I have to agree but comics are more so even on both sides in my opinion

[frank locust]

I kinda can’t talk because I’ve only read a few DC comics and like no marvel ones

But animated movies and shows it’s gotta go to DC

[pine hatch]

acting as if the two spiderverse movies dont solo everything dc ever put out

[rocky charm]

I have a bunch of comic variants

[glass wyvern]

I think Mask of the Phantasm near about challenges it

Same with The Batman

But Snyder films definitely can't touch them

Thing is. I don't particularly like comparing them too much. Just like seeing them as their own thing

I still do it from time to time though like with Absolute

I do vastly prefer Marvel comics though

[noble raptor]

Only Into is good be so fr. Across is so bad man

[glass wyvern]

Nah Across was really damn good

Honestly calling a film with so much creativity a bad film is so weird considering films like Disaster Movie exist

Now that's a bad film

[stone adder]

The Black Suit has to be the most misunderstood thing in Spider-Man lore.

No, it doesn’t make Peter aggressive.

No, it is not a slimy costume.

No, Peter does not know it’s an alien and when he finds out, he immediately gets rid of it.

It’s no longer the alien after issue #258.

At least, originally it didn't make Peter aggressive. Today, from a story telling perspective, it is actually better when it heightens Peter’s aggression and tries to bond with him.

[merry yoke]

Dc heroes is more like gods

[frank locust]

Some of them are others are just regular fellas

But I agree that the spider verse movies are goated both of them and the Snyder movies are poop

[merry yoke]

it's more better how the characters was made in marvel.

[mild grove]

across might be my fav animated movie tbh, really loved it

[noble raptor]

Because it has concepts but fails at everything else alongside accurately dealing with said concepts

[mild grove]

What do you consider it failed at? And which are these concepts you're talking about?

[umbral garden]

hi

[merry yoke]

hello hru?

[umbral garden]

am fine just got home

[merry yoke]

from work?

[umbral garden]

i go to college for classes

[noble raptor]

Adaptation for one. So many characters are completely misused, Miguel being the prime example.

The story just feels so underbaked and evidently rushed to cram in as much

[glass wyvern]

And yet it takes it's time with developing Mile's relationship with his parents and how he's fighting to make right by them.
Sure it isn't a full story but that's how it is with 2 parter movies and I think it does a good job at not rushing to a conclusion.
The film looks absolutely gorgeous from a technical standpoint and the idea of making every universe have it's own art style is brilliant and well done

Just because something is a bad adaptation does not make a bad movie

If that's the case we could go on and on about how the MCU is the biggest pile of crap in the world

I understand not liking the film, not every film is going to please everyone and that's fine, it would be boring if we all had the same opinion
But saying it's bad is just not objective

There are objectively bad films i will not deny that, Across the Spider-verse just isn't that

I will say that I think the audio mixing is just not particularly the best in the film and some dialogue at times feel out of place, particularly in the opening moments of the film involving Spider-gwen.
And yeah Miguel is definitely seen in a lesser light now because of it, but that's more so a problem with people just not taking the time out to explore a character and taking the film as gospel

[noble raptor]

If the characters just aren't easy to attach to then that's a massive failure.

Compared to the first, everyone feels wrong

[glass wyvern]

Meh

Still love the film regardless

I connected with it just fine

[scarlet marsh]

Hey guys… I’m new here. Welcome me 😁

[runic timber]

Heii

[frank locust]

Me personally like DC more but I respect it

[thorny heart]

Wuddup comics

[whole plank]

Average in that family ig

[steep galleon]

Omg

[ornate helm]

Fantastic

[mild grove]

I see, i guess this probably explains the difference in point of view then, to me a good adaptation is almost necessarily gonna change up its characters
Imo miguel was well done in the movie, he made sense with himself and the universe, and that's what matters

[mild grove]

This i don't necessarily agree with, i feel like the rythm works very well, and as horseguy said, the important parts like mile's relationship with his parents takes its time to be well developped, same with gwen's feelings

[mild grove]

And yet i found almost every character in this movie way easier to attach to than anyone during the first movie
First movie to me felt a lot like superhero people having to deal with superhero stuff
2nd feels like superhero people dealing with everyday life issues that makes it easy to identify ourselves to them
(I still love into, but i find it leagues away from across)

[undone geode]

nice

comics

[glass wyvern]

I mesh with the down to earth stuff so much

Slice of life moments are essential to a large chunk of Marvel characters, especially those street level characters like Spider-man, Daredevil and so on and so forth

For that reason along I connected quite heavily with both Miles and Gwen, hell I really appreciate how Gwens reveal to her family could be seen as reminiscent to coming out to a family member

Love lil things like that

Also Spider-Punk is just goated and I would love to see more of Hobie

[mild grove]

I did not realise that, but now that you mention it, you might be onto something there

[glass wyvern]

Helps that Daniel Kaluuya is one of my favourite actors

[glass wyvern]

The pastel colours help as well

[mild grove]

-# i didn't really like spider punk tbh
But i don't mind seeing more of him
(Something i did love about him though is the way he was animated, even that screams his identity xD)

[glass wyvern]

I can say that for every single spider-person

Yeah Miguel is different but I'm going to say something people will not like

If a character is changed a bit to service the story and make it work thematically then it's not particularly a bad thing

[mild grove]

I 100% agree with that

[glass wyvern]

I say this because Guardians of the Galaxy is seen as the best trilogy in the MCU and it does do this as well

Now if it is trying to be 1 to 1 one as adaptation then yeah it can be a problem

Otherwise though I don't mind it too much

I say 'too much' cause I di think for some characters there are some big no no's.
Like Batman and Superman killing

[north parrot]

Has anyone read the X-Men 97 (2024) comic book run?

[solid garnet]

what about here

[untold solar]

Hello everyone

[solid garnet]

hola

[spice wing]

Has anybody read Cody Ziglar’s recent Deadpool run? Wondering if it’s worth it.

[grand sage]

Let's larp

[maiden escarp]

Hii

So like comics am I right

[spice wing]

My local comic shop closed down

[grizzled lodge]

Nice

[naive sentinel]

heyyy

[inner mauve]

hi

[hollow fulcrum]

Hey

[vagrant pewter]

Superman red and blue is so good, top 3 Superman runs

[buoyant cairn]

I love how rivals is comic based

[noble raptor]

It was never gonna be based on anything else.

What actually shocks is me is how recent the storylines are that are being used

Knull, Ultimate X-Men with Sai (Psylocke), Iron Fist 50th anniversary (2024), Undead Iron Fist (2025), Iron Fist (2022, the Lin Lie run)

[merry yoke]

who is the better antihero Deadpool or venom?

[spring comet]

Anyone going to fan fusion in Phx? Early june

[spice wing]

Deadpool has a stronger moral compass. Venom started as a villain terrorizing Spider-Man and his family and even now Eddie Brock is still a controversial person in-continuity. Deadpool is a wacko but cares deeply about children and is willing to break rules if he thinks it’s right. I’m probably grossly understating both of them though considering their long histories.

[noble raptor]

Venom I feel is the best, anti-hero is more of a mid way point than a long standing title.

You had Venom who did heinous stuff whilst doing it for the right reason whilst Deadpool does it for fun, to which allowed them to grow and evolve over that time into being a hero.

Deadpool is an antagonist moreso than anti hero I think since he's more just done whatever "for the plot" and hasn't changed for decades

[north moon]

Can anyone help explain comic book pricing in very simple terms? For reference I collect comics that include Morbius and other Legion of Monsters characters like Elsa Bloodstone and Werewolf by Night but often times the pricing makes no sense to me.

I know condition and first print v reprints affect prices and stuff, but IDK if there’s a scale people use to determine those things affecting the value or if it’s just arbitrary and what people will pay goes. I’ve seen an Amazing Spider-Man #679.1 (1999) at my local comic shop for 30 bucks while an Adventure into Fear #24 (1970) was like 20 bucks even if it did have a barely noticeable pink stain on the cover. I love collecting comics but I also don’t want to get ripped off.

[noble raptor]

A lot of it is personal value/age/iconic stuff

It's hard to gauge second hand stuff moreso than what's actually being sold officially

[north moon]

ty for the help anyways 😭 is there any shorthands that i can use to gauge prices tho? ik a lot of 80s and 90s comics are very low value but im wondering if there are any other general rules of thumb i can use to gauge prices so i don’t have to look up every single comic price

[noble raptor]

It's more research whilst you're there in the moment that's the most short hand you could figure out.

Again, third parties like cost of living would also bump up prices

[north moon]

tyy! I hope i won’t look like an idiot looking up prices for like an hour in the shop i guess 😭😭

[noble raptor]

Nope, that's just how the schtick is usually when it's second hand selling

[dry pond]

I see how Age of Revelation is a dystopia future.

Miles’ name is Spin.

If he stuck to Spider-Man it would never have happened.

[jagged bramble]

rivals psylocke is not from ultimate x-men, she's from peach momokos earlier comic demon days. the psylocke in her ultimate x-men series is named Kanon and is a descendant of Sai

[sonic meteor]

Ah

[unkempt ingot]

How u gona get comics now :/

[spice wing]

I can’t probably gonna renew Marvel Unlimited when I cancel something else

[dry pond]

try book stores

although id recommend unlimited for value

[spice wing]

My local store doesn’t carry single issues, only trades

[short cedar]

yo how i get banned from chat for asking someone to switch characters

[dry pond]

u must’ve said more than that

[short cedar]

i didnt

all i ask all game was for a dare devil to switch and said thank you

then i was muted

[dry pond]

that could’ve been Kingpin playing as DD.

There’s a vid the actors did where he was playing as DD

be nice to ur daredevils

[short cedar]

i was nice he was 12 and 12 and we were getting dove

asked for him to go thing to help

[short cedar]

i cant believe i have been playing since day 0 and they ban me from chat for no reason but someone reporting me for asking them to switch.

[stone adder]

What would Dr. Doom think of MF DOOM?

My ‘Road to Secret Wars’ is almost done! I got ‘Infinity’, Age of Ultron, Axis, Miles Morales Trade and all four volumes of FF(Hickmans)

its just 1 issue part of the marvel team up series i think

[molten magnet]

i don't want to work today i want to stay home and read my comic books

[mellow prism]

Was it good?

[glacial lake]

i thought it was good but i havent read many x-men comics yet so i might be biased idk

[noble raptor]

I genuinely think this book/event has been made for me 😭

Outside of Elektra and Lin Lie/White Fox's comic stuff (but loving them from Future Fight) I understand where everyone's come from and have accidentally captured the reading order for this

[pliant arch]

more people should read moon knight tbh

[tribal herald]

Is there like an actual comic where spiderman has yellow eyes? I see like fanart with the yellow lenses and I want to use that for my mii design on the new tomodachi life :)

[upper yacht]

its so hard to find agents of atlas comics in person 🥀🥀

[noble raptor]

Yeah, it was a niche 2018/2019 thing.

Would imagine most books got taken back in 2024 when Luna got caught in RIVALS hype wave

[edgy talon]

Can someone give me a good recommendation on where to start with scarlet witch comics??

[pine hatch]

House of M is important. Robinson's scarlet witch is good if youve seen the wandavision show. Avenger's children's crusade.

[frail solar]

what should i start reading first

[edgy talon]

Thank you so much Venom’s jiggly skirt also yes nerf wolverine

[dawn crescent]

Which characters do you like

[frail solar]

quicksilver

[dawn crescent]

Peter David's x factor run is pretty good, but tbh haven't read much quicksilver

[pine hatch]

i hear good things about his 2018 standalone

[pine hatch]

Yessss OMG thank you!! Happy reading twin <33

[summer bolt]

Who is the best Spiderman

[frigid moss]

Probably Peter Parker

[summer bolt]

There r 3 ryt

Tobey andrew and tom

[frigid moss]

Yeah i like tom's the best

[summer bolt]

Okay

I like andrew

Magneto and rogue married in comic

Yk?

[coral bramble]

probably tobey

[smoky shore]

We really got larpers in the comic channel 😭

[runic ore]

Hi

Damn this Absolute Batman stuff hits hard.

Just an ABSOLUTELY great volume 1

Tobey is childhood.
Andrew is relatable.

Quicksilver Is god

[blazing sentinel]

When did Storm become an Avenger?

[upbeat dune]

I saw a comment and it made me think that would be a pretty interesting match up so I’ll ask it here; Gambit vs Black Panther, who wins?

[dry pond]

you don’t read a lot of comics do you?

its harder to list non-avengers than avengers.

[pine hatch]

Okay well you dont have to say it like that 😭

@blazing sentinel Avengers volume 9. After the fall of krakoa sam wilson/captain america asked her to join the avengers as their mutant representative.

[pine hatch]

which versions of both characters?

[dry pond]

im not trying to b mean, sorry if u feel offended

[lucid chasm]

Hey guys

[brittle pulsar]

Ultimate universe is not canon pls😭🙏

[upbeat dune]

They didn’t state so id say whichever versions would be even met

So not literal horsemen of death Gambit vs Star Panther (not even sure if those are even) 😭

[north crypt]

What of the 2

[pine hatch]

I love remy but star panther solos.

Gambit, at his most powerful, which is VERY VERY powerful, doesn't even qualify as an omega level mutant. Star panther is a cosmic deity

[blazing sentinel]

All good, I remember hearing about that one time where Mr Fantastic and Invis had a short stint as Avengers

[noble raptor]

I'd say equal about.

Panther's got more experience but a thief vs a hunter feels like an interesting match especially when the thief can just throw bombs

[upbeat dune]

“Think fast chucklenuts” 💥

[coral bramble]

facts

[tawny iris]

andrew would be both childhood and relatable icl

[lean tulip]

She’s joined a few times over the years, storm is one of the few mutants who has kind of outgrown the X Men, and like while she’s still apart of the mutant universe in major ways, since she’s probably the most popular female marvel hero she gets representation in all corners of the universe

[blazing sentinel]

Hmm is she like Phoenix? Cause iirc Jean has her own solo right now

[lean tulip]

Both of these characters are iconic x men, omega level mutants and hold cosmic power, but the phoenix force does a lot of heavy lifting for jeans impact outside of Earth and Jean isn’t as linked to a lot of the corners of the marvel universe. Storm has had major connections to the Wakandan side of marvel, the Avengers and X Men and more recently she’s become more linked to the cosmic space and even the sorcerer side of marvel so I hope that explains more of the difference that I at least came to interpret

And jeans solo ongoing is something I never finished so I can’t really comment on that

[blazing sentinel]

Oh OK, that makes sense

[deft radish]

Will the comics be influenced by this games like how how the MCU influenced the comics

[dawn crescent]

I doubt it, there is a standalone rivals comic though its almost been referenced recently in other comics

[ornate helm]

Not in a retcon kinda way since marvel rivals is very comic accurate, but it might influence a character's popularity (like luna snow, jeff, and other not overly popular characters) they did make marvel rivals a game within the comics tho, in the most recent spiderman comic we see dylan brock (eddie brock's son) playing marvel rivals briefly

[pine hatch]

Thats how you know eddie failed as a father

[north crypt]

Sweed dreams mode actívate

[waxen cosmos]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[noble raptor]

Well...yeah.

Concepts and new comics have already been done so.

Doom's Division was Agents of Atlas, Luna Snow World Tour existing, Hela becoming Queen in Black, etc.

[noble raptor]

Spider-Man, which baffles me how that game exists there when the bios and characters are there.

Cause IRL liscensing gotta exist

[reef vigil]

Found a bunch of Deadpool comics thought I could post my haul in here but dang can’t post pics 😩
Total of 12 but to name a few:
the despicable Deadpool
Found some physical copies of Black Cat(can’t wait to read this one first) “The unstoppable Black Cat”
Moonstar issue dropped.
Sentry
Cyclops shadows of tomorrow.
It’s Jeff meets Daredevil( funny af read)
Deadpool “World of realms” mastodon looking like edition variant

After I read these 12 imma go back for that one and “Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E” personal venture. Hidden stuff there too.
But You mean Secret Wars right?

[dry solstice]

hello everyone

[ornate helm]

You mean secret war as in the secret war with latveria or secret war[s]? (yeah, a single letter in the end makes kind of a big difference)

[smoky shore]

You reading off Globalcomix?

[smoky shore]

Across the Spiderverse had Ganke playing Spider-Man 2.

[warm phoenix]

I liked the latest Ultimates Endgame chapter

Everyone is gathering in a single place soon. And there will be a major focus on Spider-Man according to the Cover of the upcoming chapter next month. No one is safe. Its a alternate universe. Even without Miles Morales existing there no one said there wouldn't be deads.

Spider-Man is no glass doll. He is part of the Marvel Universe. Him being part of a event like Ultimates Endgame makes sense. Since the very beggining of that universe the Maker tried to make sure Spider-Man never existed.

[lean tulip]

Not in character direction but I think Luna Snow specifically will be elevated in the future

[ornate helm]

Yesssss they finally k*lled off paul
