Did anyone notice the bit about the meteors on the Keep Galaxy City Clean newspaper graphic? It brings to my mind the Shivan meteorite in Atlas at the end of the Pilgrim arc in Ouroboros.

Your right, go pay 15.00 for the imax and tell us how good it was.

Professional critics are almost always wrong. At least, in my personal movie-watching experience.

Quote:Again, what hours do you play? Because I still see people around, and I play mainly on Champion which, quoting Celestial Lord, has allegedly "always been rather anemic" in redside population. I have yet to see evidence of that anemia, but oh well....Originally Posted by Antares_NA
I'm not talking about teams. I'm talking about seeing people. Around. Back in 2006 when I was leveling my Brute, I remember seeing loads of people going to mishes and traveling and around. Hanging out under Lord Recluse's statue in Grandville was popular.
Now... -
Holy crap, I think I'm in love with that character.

Dead? Not that I can tell. I frequently play redside and I still manage to run into plenty of people, either in passing or in teams. Maybe it's the hours you play?

Well, it can't be too bad; it looks like they're being very faithful to the comic by appearance alone. Every character is depicted accurately as far as I can tell and it looks like the powers of the Lantern rings are also depicted accurately. Hell, the Green Lantern mantra is even there.
Accuracy = Good, right? -
Quote:Quite a bunch. The main 616 continuity of Marvel is still as healthy as it ever was and has gained and lost a few titles over the years as normal since the Ultimate line was introduced.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
It makes me look at Marvel's approach, going with the Ultimates separate timeline line of comics, and thinking that was a pretty good way to go for rebooting, while not completely dropping what you have.
Of course, I say this with little-to-no real knowledge of how well they did that and how much of the non ultimate titles continued... -
Yeah, Colin was a poor victim of writing and direction. And the way they just canned him afterwards was completely disrespectful. That was a dark time for Dr. Who.

Here's something that irks me that I just noticed: The monstrous option (which gives the character "claws") does not have any of the witch glove options from the Magic Pack.

From what I can gather, Sam wants something like this for a Judgment power, where it's just raw kickassitude. And y'know what? I think he has the right idea.

Isn't First Class supposed to be basically a restart?

BRACES man, braces! That difference between US and UK language has now provoked images in my head I did not want!

Wow.... this thread is an odd duck.

Eh, sometimes cover art is just cover art.

Quote:I'm not getting the "robot" reference?Originally Posted by Sevenpenny
Ugh....I just realized something.....Is Superboy supposed to be part robot (making him a "cyborg"), making him something along the lines of Hank Henshaw ala Cyborg Supes??? And that costume....didnt DC do an eletric boogalo red outfit on Supes once? Do the honestly think attempting to slap something like that on what essentially is a sidekick for Supes???

Quote:I think someone was confused by the nightmare sequence he had in the followup issue of his own series, as in that nightmare he dreams himself as being without a skeleton.Originally Posted by Eiko-chan
I don't really follow X-Men, but my understanding was that Magneto ripped out the skeleton, and Jean Gray held his body in shape until he regrew a new one. This is, however, second-hand knowledge.

* Rob Liefeld wanders into a graveyard. *
"hmm, wonder where i am, dis don't look like marvel comic office!"
* He is startled to find Alan Moore performing a warlocke ritual in a burial plot. *
"hey, what goin' on! who be down dere in dat dere hole?!"
* Alan Moore climbs out of the grave and brushes himself off. He scowls at Rob Liefeld. *
"hey, hobo beardman! what you doin' in dat dere hole? don't you know dem holes is for people who ain't no longer got blood in dey veins?"
"Silence, mortal! Tell none of this, and I shall fix your character, 'Supreme'."
"duhhh okay, whatebber you say funny beard man!"
And thus, Alan Moore won an award for "Best Writer of the Year" in 1997... -
There's pretty much three Doctors that I like: 4th, 7th, and 2nd, in that order.

I try to be positive, I really do. I'm almost always the one saying "wait and see", "give it a chance", but this.... I just can't be optimistic about this.

Well... it looks like DC has decided to go back to the XTREME '90s.

Hopefully this is a case of not judging a book by its cover, because that picture is just... awful.

Quote:You also left out David Bowie. Big music star in the 70s, and even HUGER star in the 80s.Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan
I included them there simply because I've heard on several occasions people misremember them as a very early 90s thing as opposed to '87. Same with Jane's Addiction. Anyways, results will vary depending upon the cultural memory of your local.
Also forgot the Pixies in that list...
You also highlight a number of key trends of the transition from the 70's to the 80's. Can't believe I forgot the Talking Heads. I think time creates a strange schizophrenia, with decadal dismorphia on one hand and blind nostalgia on the other. When one starts to comb through the details, not just an episode of "MTV's I love the xx's", it's hard not to notice that every decade and every year has all sorts of treasures in amongst the garbage. -
Quote:Oh wow, actual feet! How the hell did that happen?Originally Posted by Samothrake
I'm going to say it's because it's not the first time Liefield has been on Hawk & Dove.
Yes, that's the cover of the five-issue mini-series from 1988. I have that in my boxes. I find it interesting that back then Liefield actually drew his characters to look different. Nowadays, not so much. A lot of his characters have the same face and body.
