Blood Hunt #1 dropped today. The gimmick is they did a regular issue, and also a “bagged” copy that promises more graphic violence and extra pages. I doubt I’ll buy two of every issue, but I got the first ones just to open them and compare. The story opens up with Blackout, Darkstar, Shroud, Cloak e...

The new ‘Get Fury’ MAX series by Garth Ennis.
Does it go in ‘G’ for Get Fury?
Or ‘F’ with the other Fury MAX books?
Or in with all the other Punisher books.

That episode looks X2, Spider-Man 2, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier square in the eye and says, "Fuck you. Amateurs." It's going to get wilder, Tommy. (Though #6 is a bit of a reprieve.) I was definitely thinking ‘If they had made this a live action movie instead of Apocalypse or...

Okay.

Episode 5. “Remember It”

Wow. Holy shit.


Y’all can skip the first four episodes. Or watch them just for the context/set up. Either way. But Five goes next level.

Watched the first three episodes. My impressions: Did they update the opening animation at all? Because it was giving me ‘eww’ flashbacks. You were correct that you needn’t have watched the original series, but goddamn you need an encyclopedic knowledge of the comics that all the original stories fr...

Ooooh! Is it like an allegory for minority oppression?

I’m gonna start watching a few episodes. Be back later to give notes…er..thoughts.

The ‘R’ pile. Realm of X 1-4. After the Hellfire Gala massacre, several mutants get shunted to Vanaheim of the Ten Realms when they go thru their Krakoa Gate. Magik gets depowered, so they can’t teleport out, and someone is masking Vanaheim from Sif’s all seeing eyes on Asgard. It turns out Opal Lun...

I’ll get back to our regularly scheduled recapping soon enough, but today I bought issue 8 of Daredevil, which was also Legacy issue 670. The main cover was a mediocre JRJr cover(which I bought) but they also had variants by J Scott Campbell and one by Frank Miller. It was $10 because it’s the 60th...

Anyone dropping $130 on the new Star Wars game? I mean, you could buy the basic bitch version for like, what, $80-90, but then you don’t get to play the 90% of the game behind paywalls. I wish SW fans would collectively tell them to shove it up their ass, but you know they won’t. Setting a terrible ...

What’s actually dumb is that all his major villains know he’s Spider-Man at this point. Norman knows. Otto knows. JJ Jameson knows. Venom knows. Carnage knows. Kraven knows. You get the point. So May isn’t “safe” from all his rogues anyway. Hell, half of them would help him if she were in danger and...

Hmmm…there was more in the ‘P’ pile than I thought. Omega Men 3. Facsimile Reprint of the first appearance of Lobo. Rocking an orange and purple leotard, dude barely resembles the look he’s famous for. Outsiders 1. A new 12 issue series, Luke Fox recruits Batwoman and the Drummer(from Planetary, but...

They’re doing a sequel to Spider-Man:Reign. “Which one is that?” you may ask yourself “Oh wait, is that the one where they showed Peter’s pickled pecker? And, oh! Is that the one where MJ died because she got cancer from Peter’s baby batter??” “Oh damn, I’ve been waiting for a sequel to that series!...

Claremont is coming back to do one of these new ‘retro’ minis that’s set during older issues. It’s called Wolverine:Deep Cut and supposedly it answers the question of where Logan got off to after issue 246. I’m confused. Claremont was writing both X-Men and Wolverine AND his serial in Marvel Comics ...

Ugh. Jason Aaron is doing an 8-issue Namor midi-series. They’re letting him shit all over the Sub-Mariner the way he did Frank.
