I was really hoping Black Adam would show up and help Isis. I am bummed now.

So this is just a filler before issue 19? I fully support this idea. This is how I imagined a comic book world. Marvel had Decimation, House of M, Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, and after all was said and done Heroic Age(which I am still confused as why they did this), I will not even begin to go through the DC ones, they stay in an event constantly. City of should be like that.

Kudos developers.

Once again mutants got the shaft.

The thing to remember is that when Cole launches his Walkers, just like nukes Malta will use this opportunity to launch their Kronos Titans and we would see a major robot battle ala Transformers on hand.

Supers vs Kronos, vs War Walkers for the planet.

Who will survive?

Are War Walkers the new Sentinels of the universe? No more we have to fear the Kronos Titan?

I have a few questions:

1) Incarnates, I think the idea of an Incarnate has changed over the years. Before it was a person drank from the Well of the Furies and was endowed with the power of a pantheon, like Donald Blake who can become Thor. I guess that has changed? So what is an Incarnate exactly?


2) What is that off line option mean? I am kinda feeling lost on how being able to take my character offline will be beneficial.


3)With issue 19 Praetorian War will there be an open world war event like the Ritki? And any word as to if they are taking on Primal's main villain groups?


If anyone got answers to these from the devs one cakez forz youz.

"As to the graphics card I hope you meant to type GTX 460 since a GTS 240 would be a downgrade"



yes I did. My mind was thinking one thing and my hands were doing another. Thanks for the info, I wanted that card but if they are currently doing what is they are doing I have to go with again the ATIs which I am not a big fan of them.

I currently have a Nvidia 9800 and I am thinking to upgrade to a 240 or I 280( Think that is the right number). Is there much difference?

I can see a Xena with superpowers coming on.

In an age when TV was meant to be entertaining, he delivered. Rest well sir. Your shows will live on for us who enjoyed them.

WARNING: CLOSE AFTER SHOE PART. ELLEN IS AFTERWARDS


Finally my self tying shoes are made. Now if they get my rocket skateboard in production soon so I can relive a childhood dream while I break my hip.

And here I thought the "Pit" was something at the end of a G.I.*Joe comic or the Joes's H.Q.
All kidding aside, still a good start to a new chapter of City of*.

Only good bug is a dead bug. Where is my nuke?

( I kid, I kid. Or am I?)

Dang budget cuts on the home front. I am gonna miss what may be a good season.

Throw me with the "I will pass" crowd as well.

I guess the force....

( Puts on sunglasses)

Was not with them.

So far for me, I really do not see a difference. I mean I have done the arc before and now I am three missions into it the "new story" and so far I see nothing new. Seems like it is the same mish as before I guess I am trying to say.

Well that sucks, I wanted to walk the line as advertised.

Have not done any of the Vigilante missions yet, but after reading some of the posts really do not seem vigilante at all. I was kinda hoping for The Crow, Punisher, Batman, Shadowhawk (break their spines baby), or even DarkMan, who want to deliver justice in a cold and efficient manner. Not border line villain missions for heroes. Where is the kill "X" and his goons because they bombed a pet store missions?

In case I was scooped( once again) I am sorry for the double post:

What's that you say? A rogue vigilante, who dons a mask at night to fight crime while using illegal weapons, with no endorsement from local law enforcement authorities, may not be a good role model for young boys?

Incredulity aside, it turns out that even some of the "nicer" comic-book heroes might not be so good for the kids. That's the conclusion of a new study of current superhero movie characters (how does one apply for this job?). The researchers behind the study shared their findings at the American Psychological Association convention this past Sunday. What's most surprising about the results of the study is that it doesn't necessarily vilify all of these powerful characters -- just modern-day superheroes. The superheroes your parents watched and read many moons ago? Those guys were just fine.

Sharon Lamb from the University of Massachusetts-Boston, who spoke on behalf of the study, explained: "Today's superhero is too much like an action hero who participates in non-stop violence; he's aggressive, sarcastic, and rarely speaks to the virtue of doing good for humanity. When not in superhero costume, these men, like Iron Man, exploit women, flaunt bling, and convey their manhood with high-powered guns."

Iron Man, Lamb's example of a modern-day superhero, debuted in March of 1963 in issue number 39 of "Tales of Suspense." In 1979, the Iron Man story went through an arc known as "Demon in a Bottle," which portrayed Tony Stark's (Iron Man's true identity) battle with alcoholism. That storyline was later loosely adapted into the two "Iron Man" movies.

There is a valid point within the research that young boys who don't have real-life role models may turn to their movie idols to compensate for their lack of guidance. Especially considering that a slew of these comic-book demigods -- Peter Parker as Spider-Man; The X-Men -- are themselves considered outsiders in their personal lives. The problem is, of course, that real-life humans haven't been bitten by radioactive spiders or developed mutant powers. As the researchers discovered, this leads to problems when movie marketing can "take advantage of boys' need to forge their identity in adolescence and sell them a narrow version of masculinity."

Lamb's research concluded there are only two types of personalities that today's boys have the option to aspire to: the aforementioned superhero or the cracking-wise slacker. (What, no vampires?)

Doing her best to channel the character of John Bender's dad from "The Breakfast Club," Lamb explains her findings about on-screen slackers thusly: "Boys are told, 'if you can't be a superhero, you can always be a slacker.' Slackers are funny, but slackers are not what boys should strive to be; slackers don't like school and they shirk responsibility. We wonder if the messages boys get about saving face through glorified slacking could be affecting their performance in school. (/quote)


Why can't people let boys be boys and enjoy comic superheroes?
