Marvel: Your Universe Thread

God I hope not, Cap and Bats have been running parallel stories for way too long

it's been kinda eerie hasn't it?

 

[ProjectX2]

I was thinking the same. One way or another, I'd bet good money that there will be a book featuring the old numbering, and it will probably star Bucky and/or Falcon.

It stars Bucky... during WWII.

What's with all the WWII Stories?

It seems that's all Ed wants to talk about.

There's a Captain America movie coming out when the book relaunches that takes place during WWII. Coincidence?!

Not only that but if you've read any of Bru's Cap you'll see there are TONS of parallels between what's going on "now" and what happened then. Kind of a recurring theme and main feature of the run.

Hm...

Can someone tell me how I feel about this?

You feel.... intrigued.

I'm not sure what the emotion is, but suddenly your nipples have become delightfully tender.

My post still stands with this.

Is anyone else reading the Silver Surfer mini by Greg Pak? The art's not great but it's kind of interesting. Surfer gets stuck on Earth and the High Evolutionary takes his cosmic power away, so he's just a bald human-y guy. He's remembering what it's like to feel and breathe and whatnot. Not great, but interesting; I'm not sure if anyone has gone in this direction with him.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

I'm not either sure anyone else has either.

I am reading it, and I like how the High Evolutionary (who never seems to be a good or bad guy, which I love about him) used the power cosmic.

I'm happy to say that Marvel.com's online catalog has been updated and is much more user friendly.

So, does anyone feel like this event season is even more crazy for Marvel than usual? It seems like everything except enough books to count on one hand are tied to Fear Itself, Return to Spider-Man Island (heh), or Death of Ultimate Spider-Man.

Overkill, right?

 

[Ultimate Houde]

Cosmic is staying out of the events.

Did anyone else read the 5 issue miniseries Astonishing Thor? I just finished it and really enjoyed it - well done with some cool concepts, and it was interesting to actually read a comic with some of the cosmic characters I've never seen in a book, only seen on those old Marvel trading cards.

You know, Villains for Hire looks more then a little like a copy of DC's Secret Six.

Not that I'm complaining. I loved Secret Six, this is a good creative team, so why the hell not.

Marvel's post-FEAR ITSELF event 'spoiled' on the cover of Previews.

 

[Captain Canuck]

unfortunately it's written by Jeph Loeb.

I was reading what he said about and I cringed a bit.

 

[Captain Canuck]

it's a pretty cool poster though.
