Anyone here besides me read comic books?
I used to.. nothing where they wear thier underwear on the outside. -_-
It's not underwear it's a costume and their designs have changed alot over the years.
:P well fine, if they wear mostly what looks like spandex/foam rubber body fitting suits, with what looks like underwear on the outside.. i dont read em.
mostly I read darkhorse comics, they did alot fo movie adaptations and the like. Such as the verios Aliens ones
Ok I read Topcow, DC, Marvel, Darkhourse, as well as underground comics. so basically you judge a book by it's cover from what i'm hearing anyway.
Thats why cover art is soppose to grab you. There are alot of comics out there, and i have to narrow down which ones im going to get somehow. Superheros in skin tight suits do not interest me. Marines in space battling aliens does. They may be well written.. but if i dont like the look of the characters or art... i cant be bothered to buy it. Too much out there that does catch my eye.
Well thats cool everyone has their own view on things so anyone else here read comics.
well i've read a few. mainly DC comics; identity crisis, kingdom come, green lantern stuff, i plan on reading countdown to infinite crisis. my brother is the one who keeps reading comics he usually recommends to me the good ones. i actually enjoy comics as much as manga. :)
I read an occasional comic book.
I dislike most mainstream comics. They tend to be unoriginal. Many also require you to read a few previous issues to understand what's going on and then read a few more to get to the end of the storyline. The art is also formulaic. I like variety.
I do read a LOT of web comics. 42 at the moment.
The Flight series is one of the few printed comics worth getting.
I always pick up a few interesting books at the SD Comic-Con, too.
ya web comics are a lot of fun. and i agree that the mainstream comics tend to be unoriginal, but so are most web comics, anime, manga and other literature.
It really is hard to be original these days it seems like everything is being reused and recycled. ;026
Well that depends on what you read right now marvel and dc are doing really good and you can read the comics online now. The civil war is going really good right now spawn is doing really good with Armageddon saga.
You can read them all right here

Spawn is another one I like. Todd Mcfarland is a pretty bad ass artist if you ask me. especialy since he didnt draw before 18.. He is quite the insperation to people like me. Havent picked any up in a long time tho. I always wait till they get bound in graphic novel form now. As Mr cat said.. if you miss and issue your lost.. and i dont like that. Getting the graphic novel is like getting a volume of a manga.. you get the whole story.. "or at least that segment of it"
Im gonna miss SD comic con.... now that ive moved back to washington I doubt ill be going back often if at all. Tho it was nice while it lasted. Have several sketch book pictures done by the guys form penny arcade.
Well I've posted a link and they basically have everything there I also like Witchblade which became an anime and Darkness which will be anime later on this year. Teenage mutant ninja turtles is another comic series I love It will also be anime later on this year.
It was already an animates show o_O i grew up with it and have the entier series on dvd...
ninja turtles will become an anime?
something like GiJoe sigma 6?
i like the new snake eyes now that he moves like a ninja :/
Quote from: "zjhentohlauedy"ninja turtles will become an anime?

i like the new snake eyes now that he moves like a ninja :/
No an actual anime made from Japan not copy cat anime like teen titans or The Batman. Oh here is the trailer for the Aphrodite IX anime another one of topcows project.
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Aphrodite+IX+anime+trailer&search=Search
Pharodite. hehehe that aphrodite IX looks nice,
wasn't sigma 6 made in japan?
i though it was made by studio gonzo?
when would the turtles come out?
oops. i'm getting off topic again. bad habit.
anyway, i don't really like the civil war thing in marvel. i would seem like the villains in marvel are a bit too quiet now that the good guys are fighting each other
I think the turtles are coming out like late summer and The civil war is good and actually the bad guys were just released from their jail cells thanks to Ironmans side and the government.
oh. why did they release the villains? well i may have to start reading marvel soon.. ^_^
-_- Ironman was the only super hero I used to read.. but if he let out the villans.. i dont think I can anymore
Well yeah Ironman is being a total Asshole siding with government and all that good stuff I mean everyone knows the you can't trust the Government. And then Spiderman took off his mask in front of everyone. So everyone knows now the spiderman is Peter parker. And a clone of Thor Actually killed a fellow superhero so yeah it's war alright.
now that everyone knows who spidey is will he still wear a mask? ;026
Well yeah at the end i'm sure something will happen like erassing everyone's memory or something like that.
-_- oy people watch entierly too much tv if the belive the goverment is the embodiment of evil. Maybe the goverment in comic books.
or maybe some temporal stuff or magic or even new heroes^_^
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"-_- oy people watch entierly too much tv if the belive the goverment is the embodiment of evil. Maybe the goverment in comic books.
George bush isn't evil I think NOT
oy Im not gonna even argue it with you. and george bush is a person, not the goverment.
I know he's a person but the government in general is usually not what they say they are and thats not a fact on TV look around the world. They say they want peace but instead we are getting more death and violence.
I was avid reader when I was a kid.
-_- again, i will not debate it with you. Especialy since this is a thread about comic books, and debate on politics will amost always lead to an argument, adn as a mod Im here to prevent arguments not start them. But I will remind you I have a heck of alot more real world experience with the matters you refer too, and they are not the black and white subject you think they are.
OK But I have parents who were in the military so yeah, But anyway politics and stuff like that are boring, Enough with this subject.
Has anyone read hunter killer
I wish they would have an Armored Core comic...
They don't have a comic but an anime is coming out this year can't wait to see it.
Armored Core anime!? Got any links or bits of info?
Triple8 you can try animesuki, youtube or google but animesuki is probably your best bet thats were I find all my anime from.
here is one for spysweeper

Thanks I already have that pic but thanks none the less.
tho she would be much smaller compaired to venom. Come to think of it, he is the only skin tight body suit character I liked from comics. might actually have to see the next spider man movie.
Yeah it's not skin tight it's not even a costume it's an alien parasite that has bonded it self to a human host just had to make that clear, because people think alot comic book characters outfit are skin tight costumes when they are not frabric at all. For instance the Green lanterns costume is not a costume it's substance that comes from the ring that allows him to breath in space in things of that nature.
-_- well yes, they all have special circumstances.. but to tell you the truth, its the giant ripply man meat that i dont care to see. I dont care to see men with imposibly huge muscles.venom is one of the few exeptions to that rule.. for some reason I think he is cool dispite that.

Spawn is pretty much the only non-Jap comic I like. I've always loved "war in heaven" plots :D I did have some of the graphic novels but they started to fall apart from overuse =/ Now I just torrent them.
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"tho she would be much smaller compaired to venom. Come to think of it, he is the only skin tight body suit character I liked from comics. might actually have to see the next spider man movie.
I've always assumed its just bad perspective in that pic personally, like she is supposed to be much smaller than Venom but the artist doesn't quite pull it off
Does anyone here actually read comic besides me searching for a fellow fan not haters.
PM Q4(V) he is always talking about the same kind of things.. and he has a picture of comic book characters as his sig
yes I like comic, Spidy, Shi, Lady Death, Purgatori, Onslaught, Witchblade, Hulk, X-men a lot more can't remember them all
Marvel
Chaos! Comics
Crusade
http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/9864/gonnagitrapedaj7.jpg
Fixed.
That picture makes no sense to me.
The skydoll series was good. Everything about it was original.
I have quite a large stack of the Aliens and Predator comics sitting somewhere. and a few starwars ones too.
The picture makes sense to me:

so you like comic books eh lets talk.
Here is a blatant example of Marvel copying a design from anime, specifically Gundam:
(http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/944/1173211091132lw3.jpg)
That machine Iron Man is using is a direct rip-off of the GP03 Dendrobium from Gundam 0083 ^^;;;;
hulk looks like daguro ani from yuyu! o_o
-_- well what else can they do to compeat? It seems to me I can find more manga in the US then normal comics books most of the time. Might be worth checking out the statistics tho..
I beg to differ... sure, there's lots of manga in various bookstores there, but good ole' comicbooks still reign supreme ^^;
Oh yes, but you have to go to a comic book shop to get them usualy. There you can find even underground comics if you know a good store.. but the places average people frequent, like book stores.. most of the ones i go to have cut their comic books to one measely rotating rack for current ones, and a single shelf for the compliation graphic novels.. as where manga tends to have its own section. I see the same sort of trend for the popularity of american animation vs anime..
I like comics, but I definitely prefer the older ones. I know something about this was mentioned earlier, but I just wanted to point out that I think this "lack of originality" is especially common in comic books today. I say that because I think I've seen more innovative television shows than heard about or read about innovative comics as of late. The whole "Ultimate" schtick with Marvel has pretty much pissed me off. Of course, I suppose my perspective is kind of narrow-minded given that I'm a bit of Marvel-loyalist (when it comes to comics, that is). Anyway, I found a whole shitload of my dad's old comics when I moved a few months ago... great stuff. The original Secret Wars kick ass.
i just saw the cover of "marvel zombies" i think, and they're gonna be fighting with ash from army of darkness..
I'm gonna be reading that one. hehe
zombie ass kicking is fun, with chainsaws!!
At first I thought that "Marvel Zombies" was really really bad idea, but now I'm not so sure... ASH?! Now I might just check this out...
yeah, thats the word that got my attention.
the second one was ZOMBIE....
the talk of zombies in the resident evil thread started to fill my mind with dead rotting images... ;258
Quote from: "Spysweeper"so you like comic books eh lets talk.
Right well, what are you reading now and what do you think about it? I am reading the Civil war for marvel and reborn Onslaught, the current story from Switchblade top cow, Lady Death lost soul too need to get issues #1 for that I got #2 and I been getting a lot of back issues of Shi just reading way of the warrior and year of the dragon.
The marvel Civil war was ok but I wished to it end a little better, I would have thought more character would have been killed off in the last fight and the art I was ok with, the Onslaught reborn has just started so nay much having in that. Always a big fan of Lady Death and Shi story and art are always good for me loll.
Sorry Iââ,¬â,,¢m a little late to reply
Hummm.. a zombie comic huh?? Might actually have to check that out. I got a bunch of the resident evil comics when they came out, as well as the adaptations for dawn of the dead and the like. mmmm zombies
I just read the ending to civil war Not that good to me I was expecting more, and I hear Captain America is dead now So I'll have to catch up on that now.
Added after 9 minutes:
OH yeah and also there is the Death of superman Saga being animated, it will be the first ever pg-13 animated film for DC,
here is the article on it if your interested.
http://www.filmjunk.com/2007/03/05/death-of-superman-animated-movie-on-dvd-in-september/
THe captain is DEAD!!!!
i wonder whether they'll revive him? and how?
spoiler?
Yup Captain America is dead sorry the bearer of bad news.
Here's the pic of him.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Capdeath.PNG
i'm going to read that story as soon as a i find it (really think i am reading it with the UK comic) ... is he really really dead? i may watch that Superman thing but really not a big fan of DC, i do like Power Girl have some of comic's of her and maybe one Batman comic that it.
read more Onslaught, i really hope that they make the Onslaught better then 10 years go, it would be so cool if a lot more people where in the fight and dead.
bah, they might find a way to bring him back, just like they did superman. superheros rarely did permenetly
Definitely, they just have to get his power level over nine thousand first.

I usually read Marvel Comics only (and thats X-men and Ghost Rider most of the time) but I got a slight fondness for DC too.....well mostly for Cassandra Cain :D
FWAHHAAHAHAHAAHA! Ninja pirate of badness to the rescue!
http://www.marvel.com/videos/Colbert_on_Cap%27s_Death
hehehe so good
This is the new DR.Strange movie coming out looks really good so far.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB43bNS0FSM
I do like DR.Strange but I wish they didn't use animation, why couldn't they use really actor like ghost rider, which was really cheesy and also ok i did really like it.
the sliver surf coming yay, in the FF movie and that mean Galactus right ..... if they bring Galactus than they should have Onslaught or Apocalypse in x-men.
Your kidding right the Ghostrider movie was horriable, and i'm just being nice here, This DR. Strange Animation looks really good and I would rather see my favorite characters animated than a movie actor any day.
and I doubt Hollywood will use Galactus in there version of FF4, I'm just hoping this one is much better than the first one which in my opinion was not even watchable. I mean having DR. Doom defeated so easily is just wrong and since when did Victor Van Doom ever fall for Susan Richards ( he never did)
OH yeah Superman Doomsday Saga is being animated by Bruce Tim it will be pg-13 here's the article on it if anyone is interested.

I mean having DR. Doom defeated so easily is just wrong and since when did Victor Van Doom ever fall for Susan Richards ( he never did)
wait I thought Dr. Doom had feeling for Susan I remember it was in the animated tv shows when they first meet Doom, can't remember if he show his love in the comic
Nah not in the comics Dr. Doom Never had feelings for Susan at all well not any good feelings or love feelings if any he thought she was a Bitch excuse my French.
well I know there was thing between her and Namor aka Sub-Mariner.
I have be reading the UK marvel (which is the US but behind a bit) spidey has found out the Gwen had children with Osborn and that there trying to kill him because they think they killed spidy killed her.
Yeah her and Namor had a little something going on He called in civil war a "SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP" but I think she was more into than vis versa.
Ironman has become one of the most hated characters in comics now thanks to his acts in civil ( YOU SUCK STARKS') but i'm sure they will find away to bring cap back but this time for the first time in a all my years of reading comics I have this feeling Cap is dead for good.
yeah i agree with you there, just got the USA comic couldn't wait for it to print it in the UK. why she kill him o.0
my brother just got the hardbound compilation of Infinity Crisis and Batman the greatest stories ever told volume 2!! can't wait to read them!!
:/
Got an autographed copy of the Marvel Zombies vs Army of darkeness today at comicon! I also met tycho and gabe and posed with the original chewbaca
I just picked up the Marvel initiative nice art and I met so cool people at the comic shop yesturday, Oh and Spawn is getting better and better.
Except reading manga, I don't read anything.
But I like very much xmen characters.
i'm currently reading the fables comic. its really good.. ;010
i mean
prince charming being divorced trice with snow white, sleeping beauty and cinderella
pinoccio being pissed at the blue fairy because he never grew from being a boy, he even said he wants his balls to drop and get laid....
boy blue is even one of the coolest characters, he ain't little no more.
and lots more stuff gets interesting
Frank Miller Sin City - Simply amazing.
Yeah, I know "Slowpoke.gif" ^_^
i just read manga.. i dont take marvel comic though
So whats your guys thoughts on what the new fantastic four movie will be Good Or Bad.
It's gonna be crap, they all are!
Stupid Hollywood!
I agree with Gummster here
well can't say much, haven't watched it. the fisrt movie was well i guess its alright. i guess.
It was awful. I don't remember Hollywood making a crappier film made out of comic books.
well i rearly read comic books cause it's tiring to read i think-v-
and actually a like anime much better^o^
woah a opinion of the general populace i agree with XD
I agree with you guys this one will probably suck like all of them have been lately.
I think that Hollywood are trying to ruin movies that have good potential, such as Fantastic four. What's with that?
Quote from: "Gummster"I don't remember Hollywood making a crappier film made out of comic books.
Catwoman?
Dare Devil?
Electra?
the phantom?
Batman and Robin? (and to quote mr arnold swartzifreezer "I'm COLD wahahahaha")
want more http://www.rottentomatoes.com/features/special/2007/comic/?r=94&mid=1142437
and also Transformers, will be on on July 4th ;054

OK, I am now gonna say something that many would utterly despise me for saying:
I didn't like any of those filmsExcept for Dare Devil and The Phantom I liked Dare Devil, but I've never seen The Phantom
i don't think many would despise you for that, well i don't anyway
well maybe i'll just stick to manga based movies then. I'm gonna be watching UZUMAKI by junji ito!
uh, i'm not interested in that kind of movie at all ;037
World war hulk need to read up on that hear the hulks dead
