Official Young Avengers Discussion Thread

[spideyboy_1111]

Kate doesnt have blood ties, she has power ties... no New X-men has power ties spot on with avenger character nor history. Only one is X-23. Closest other would be rockslide, but thing isnt an avengers member.

and what do you mean? did you not see all the marks on the map vision showed? theres hundreds of possible Young Avengers out there...

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, Vision had hundreds of potential YAs on reserve

[spideyboy_1111]

Yeah, Vision had hundreds of potential YAs on reserve

And im not sure exactly how his reserves work per say... because Kate wasn't on there... which would allude to the fact it's blood ties or avengers connection that makes them one...

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't like Kate or think she should be on the team

[JackRembrandt]

I don't care what anyone says, that ho is not Hawkeye. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

She a rich girl who's good at archery. Big whoop

[TheCorpulent1]

She's cool, but she's not Hawkeye. I really wish they hadn't forced that name on her. Now Clint's stuck with Ronin's stupid name and stupid costume. :o

[AndThePickles]

I don't like her and wouldn't mind if she eventually got killed off :o

[TheCorpulent1]

What's so wrong with Kate?

[AndThePickles]

I think she's boring and pointless.

[TheCorpulent1]

But she's easily the most competent character and the best natural leader on the team. :confused:

[AndThePickles]

I feel like she's very...replaceable.

[Colossal Spoons]

Patriot should be leading this team, and you know it :cmad:

[JackRembrandt]

But she's easily the most competent character and the best natural leader on the team. :confused:

That's a joke, right?

[Colossal Spoons]

Corp likes the weirdest things

[TheCorpulent1]

Patriot should be leading this team, and you know it :cmad:
Patriot's a ****ing idiot and you know it. Kate demonstrated far more competence calling the shots in the Young Avengers comics we've gotten so far. :o

[KangConquers]

I like Kate...she's...pretty hot for a 16 year old comic book character...uhh...yeah.

[Colossal Spoons]

Patriot's a ****ing idiot and you know it. Kate demonstrated far more competence calling the shots in the Young Avengers comics we've gotten so far. :o

Well she needs to stay at home and "call the shots" via satellite and stop wasting space on the field that could be taken up by a more interesting new YA :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Do you like Green Arrow?

[Colossal Spoons]

Don't care about Ollie
Like Connor
Love Roy
Would like to love Mia....but the HIV+ :(

[TheCorpulent1]

They're all exactly as useless in the field as Kate, as is Hawkeye. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

Heh, I agree.

[TheCorpulent1]

You're dumb. :(

Also, Red Arrow's a stupid name. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

It's an incredibly stupid name.

Arsenal FTW

[TheCorpulent1]

He should just call himself Roy and be done with it.

[Colossal Spoons]

Agreed

[spideyboy_1111]

Patriot should be leading this team, and you know it :cmad:

the dude was taking drugs... and cares more about himself then the team... let someone more stable lead

[spideyboy_1111]

Patriot's a ****ing idiot and you know it. Kate demonstrated far more competence calling the shots in the Young Avengers comics we've gotten so far. :o

agreed

[Colossal Spoons]

I just don't like the ***** :o

[AndThePickles]

I just don't like the ***** :o

:up:

[spideyboy_1111]

I just don't like the ***** :o

o please half of you just dont like her because she was given hawkeyes name.... :o

[AndThePickles]

It doesn't matter what her name is, still don't like her.

[spideyboy_1111]

It doesn't matter what her name is, still don't like her.
lol why?

[Kevin]

I love Kate. Also, I have no idea what I was trying to say last night.:o

[The Geek Vault]

I wanna see Patriot and Kate bickering over who should take lead and have Wiccan take the lead the whole time!

[Kevin]

I think Hulkling (I swear this is a stupid name because i almost always spell it wrong) wouldn't be a bad leader. He did ok in their last arc.

[Colossal Spoons]

It doesn't matter what her name is, still don't like her.

:up:

[Colossal Spoons]

I think Hulking wouldn't be a bad leader. He did ok in their last arc.

Teddy needs to meet his damn dad!

[AndThePickles]

lol why?

I already said why on the last page :oldrazz: She's boring and very much replaceable.

[spideyboy_1111]

Teddy needs to meet his damn dad!

he is in the mini

[spideyboy_1111]

I already said why on the last page :oldrazz: She's boring and very much replaceable.

then that makes me wonder what you think of cassie lang... because Kate has more personality in her thumb nail then cassie does all together

[Kevin]

I still dislike Cassie because of Civil War and before, but she's ok. It's not like I want her to die or anything. Might happen anyway with her weak hear and all, though...

[spideyboy_1111]

I still dislike Cassie because of Civil War and before, but she's ok. It's not like I want her to die or anything. Might happen anyway with her weak hear and all, though...

she wont die for the mere fact her father died...

i like cassie though, but i like every YA

[Colossal Spoons]

he is in the mini

Nice :up:

[Colossal Spoons]

then that makes me wonder what you think of cassie lang... because Kate has more personality in her thumb nail then cassie does all together

Cassie is not only boring but a damn CW-traitor :o

[Kevin]

...I wish I could say the same, SB 1111. There's one I never really cared for, and try not to read the first arc because of it. He would be Iron lad.

[Colossal Spoons]

Damn, why? IL was great

[Kevin]

Damn, why? IL was great
He just did nothing for me. The time travel ****ed it up for me, everything about it. His "relationship" wih cassie was just ugh, plus the Cassie/Vision aftermath he created. It's all just complo and would be best if I ignored it if i could. I do, however, understand why he was important in the first place, and am greatful his story got the kids together.

[spideyboy_1111]

Cassie is not only boring but a damn CW-traitor :o

you just hate women :o


i dont see the point... the YA don't even seem to consider her a traitor... i dunno maybe because there more mature then you guys seem to be? she's the youngest... and technically joining the other side is much safer

[spideyboy_1111]

...I wish I could say the same, SB 1111. There's one I never really cared for, and try not to read the first arc because of it. He would be Iron lad.

iron lad was hot... i loved him. Just sucks he's vision now

[Colossal Spoons]

you just hate women :o


I like Wiccan :D

[spideyboy_1111]

I like Wiccan :D

don't diss my boyz

[Colossal Spoons]

you just hate women :o


i dont see the point... the YA don't even seem to consider her a traitor... i dunno maybe because there more mature then you guys seem to be? she's the youngest... and technically joining the other side is much safer

You defend these kids like they're your own. Hakuna Matata dude :up:

[spideyboy_1111]

yes it does mean no worries for the rest of my days.... it's my problem free philosophy.

[AndThePickles]

They're both boring.




i dont see the point... the YA don't even seem to consider her a traitor... i dunno maybe because there more mature then you guys seem to be? she's the youngest... and technically joining the other side is much safer

So, not liking every single character makes people immature? :huh:

[CaptainCanada]

the YA don't even seem to consider her a traitor...
That's kind of hard to judge, since I don't recall getting any reaction from them at all to it; every appearance of the YA since has studiously avoided showing her with the group (I don't think she's shown with them at Cap's funeral, for example), probably because the other writers want to leave that up to whoever takes over writing.

Cassie's my favourite, actually. I like all of the characters except Hulkling; despite the second arc giving him a lot of time, I find him kind of dull.

[spideyboy_1111]

:wow: hulking is friggin awsome.

and the YA have been shown with the registered side now... i think they have some weird team understanding... i think the only 2 that arnt registered now are kate and patriot.. (maybe speed and vision too), but hulkling and wiccan have been shown oddly enough with the registered side

[AndThePickles]

no... calling her a traitor and hating her for it does

I never said that about her. However, I don't think that people having that opinion is "immature," it's just a differing opinion than yours.

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, well I am the one who called her a traitor. That's hardly why I hate her though, she bores me.

[spideyboy_1111]

I never said that about her. However, I don't think that people having that opinion is "immature," it's just a differing opinion than yours.

never said you did... i was talking to the guy who called her a traitor.

Sorry, but I'm accepting Dan Slott's She-Hulk Wiccan/Hulking SHRA answer.

[spideyboy_1111]

Sorry, but I'm accepting Dan Slott's She-Hulk Wiccan/Hulking SHRA answer.

gah, i still need to find that issue, what did they say?

[Anubis]

The ones that signed up were alternate universe versions here on vacation.

[Kevin]

gah, i still need to find that issue, what did they say?
It was a pair of Alphas(?) from another earth who came on vacation to 616. They pretented to be Wiccan and Hulkling and Registered with the SHRA. When Billy and Teddy found out, they were a miffed(but not very). I'll scan the scene if anyone wants

[Kevin]

Damn you, Anubis! Damn you to marvel's hell!

[Anubis]

Tough s**t slowpoke. :p

[Colossal Spoons]

Whew, so Wiccan and Hulkling still have some sense? :up:

[Dread]

Bit late to the conversation, but I'll share some opinions:

- Would I be opposed to some of the New X-Men kids joining the Young Avengers, now that book is looking like it is fading into limbo, with only X-23 moving into the relaunched X-FORCE? I'll give a wishy-washy answer: "It depends". The Young Avengers started as new heroes laying claim to the Avengers legacy, and the majority of them DO have clear ties to some of the past Avengers. All except Kate/Hawkeye II of course. None of the New X-Kids have any of that, barring a retcon or two. But if it was a good story, sure. I wouldn't mind dragging some characters out of X-Limbo. It worked for NEW WARRIORS so far (at least so long as it isn't overdone).

But would I prefer other new members? Sure. My personal "longshot Young Avenger who No One Remembers and will NEVER join the team" is Stat, formerly from the ionically powered team of Wonder Man hangers on called "The Crazy 8". Wonder Man ultimately re-absorbed the ionic energy that empowered the spazzy team, but Stat was one of two who seemed to retain his power despite that. He created energy duplicates of himself, which may be worth milking considering how hot NARUTO has become. Anyway, Stat has that connection to Wonder Man and I like the idea of a young hero who ties into Wonder Man's legacy, yet ISN'T just a token super-strong tanker.

- I have nothing against Kate, nor nothing against her having Hawkeye's name. True, it merely reinforced that Heinberg has utterly no ability to create codenames (Stature? SPEED!? I'm surprised Wiccan wasn't named "Mage" or "Magic Lad" at that rate), but Clint was headin' down Bendis' TOILET OF RONIN anyway. He laid the seeds at the end of HOM. It was happening regardless, I am sure. Besides, Kate got the name from Capt. America himself, who is now dead, so she likely sees it as both permission and an honor to fulfill.

- I hope whoever takes over for a YA vol. 2 continues along where Heinberg was headed and allows the "twins" to have actually existed, and thus further showcase HOM as the waste it was. That means, yes, a writer who has the stones to step on Bendis' toes. They are rare at Marvel these days, but they exist. I mean, Bendis has made it no secret he'll do whatever he wants, and any hapless writer whose stories are impacted by Bendy's actions with a character/storyline has to just suck it up and work with or around it. Turnaround has to be a ***** at some point.

- Speaking of which, so far, ANYONE who has wanted to find Wanda, such as Clint or whoever in the Messiah build-up, has done so with zero difficulty. So the YA really should have little problem if they want to. And hey, just because Bendis' Dr. Strange, who can't defend himself from falling planes or ninjas with pointy swords, says it isn't worth doing, doesn't make it so. Rebellin' against adults is what the team is all about. That and beating up bad guys.

- I am glad that Hulkling will get a chance to meet his dad in the mini, and that Brain Reed is writing it. Brubaker likely will score a hit with his Patriot issue.

- Iron Lad has his moments, but I'm hardly dripping for a return. Besides, wasn't he just supposed to grow up and ensure Kang existed and the timeline was saved? Why screw with that more and make Kang any more ridiculously confusing than he already is? The poor guy's already been hindered by non use and what I call the "Too Needy to Kill You" flaw of some villains; they enjoy the challenge of battling their enemies so much that they can't seem to bring themselves to actually kill them when the time comes, thus losing any sort of suspence to their battles. It was like Thanos and his self-destructive tendancies (because he felt he was unworthy of Death's love until very recently). Kang needs to be a bad-ass, not an emo with a masochist streak ("Ooooh, punch me HARDER, Iron Man! In the 41st century, I am SO naughty!"). I doubt a return of Iron Lad will fix this. Vision 2.0 has his brain patterns, that's good enough for me. It MIGHT be interesting if someone revived the original Vision andriod and that got thrown into the mix. How does Vision see his "son" or "clone" or whatnot? Proud? Threatened? Disapproving? That kind of thing. Could be interesting.

[Colossal Spoons]

I sure hope something is done about NXM :(

haha, omg thats friggin awsome

[spideyboy_1111]

Whew, so Wiccan and Hulkling still have some sense? :up:

at this point it doesnt seem like the marvel universe cares that much about registration lol

[TheCorpulent1]

Regarding New X-Men kids joining the Young Avengers: meh. **** the New X-Men, Prodigy's the only decent dude on there, and he stole a Slinger's name, which takes away his coolness anyway. :o

[Anubis]

They're all gonna die anyway. F**k em.

[spideyboy_1111]

actually prodigy is the least enjoyable on that team for me... i find him utterly useless

[Colossal Spoons]

at this point it doesnt seem like the marvel universe cares that much about registration lol

Big fuss over nuthin

actually prodigy is the least enjoyable on that team for me... i find him utterly useless

Well he got a ton of skills back recently so hopefully that'll change :up:

[spideyboy_1111]

Big fuss over nuthin

it was an interesting idea, ill give them that, but they dug themselves in a hole with it

[TheCorpulent1]

actually prodigy is the least enjoyable on that team for me... i find him utterly useless
That just means you probably suck. :o

[Anubis]

Spoons shoulda came back with "Well, you just hate Black People." Which would have been an awesome reference to what spideyboy said about him hating women. Just an observation.

[TheCorpulent1]

If only Spoons were as clever as you, Nubsy. Let's all stare at him in abject disappointment. :(

[Colossal Spoons]

I'll do better next time, boss

[spideyboy_1111]

That just means you probably suck. :o

i do... i do... but thats another story. I actually enjoy elixer (did enjoy icarus RIP), dust, anole and pixie on that team

[TheCorpulent1]

So long as you hate Surge, you're okay by me.

[spideyboy_1111]

i dont hate her... just havent really enjoyed her

[TheCorpulent1]

Then you're not okay by me. Expect to be cut soon, fool. :cmad:

[spideyboy_1111]

Then you're not okay by me. Expect to be cut soon, fool. :cmad:

i can't help it if i usually dont hate things... you dont have to have black or white opinion about everything

[TheCorpulent1]

Grays are for wusses. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

So long as you hate Surge, you're okay by me.

Surge started out cool, but watching 45 of her friends die turned her into a whiny person

[spideyboy_1111]

Grays are for wusses. :o

Grey's own all

[spideyboy_1111]

Surge started out cool, but watching 45 of her friends die turned her into a whiny person

and a lil girl throwing a hissy fit over a love triangle... men really do not know how to write women

[Colossal Spoons]

Grays are for wusses. :o

There really are very few grey posters around here. Something either sux or is teh roxxors. :down:

Only happens on message boards

[Anubis]

except i like patriot.. :o

And a better response woulda been "except I like Bill Clinton." Which while a dated reference, would have perfectly parallel edthe homophobic response Spoons originally used about "liking Wiccan". That's it for this chapter of Anubis' guide to message board wit.

[Colossal Spoons]

You're ridiculous lol

truely awsome

[CaptainCanada]

(Stature? SPEED!?
What's the problem with those? "Stature" is perfect for someone who can both shrink and grow; "Speed" is succinct ("It tells you everything you need to know." I believe he said).
Speaking of which, so far, ANYONE who has wanted to find Wanda, such as Clint or whoever in the Messiah build-up, has done so with zero difficulty.
It seems to me like she can only be found when she wants to be.

[PhotoJones]

That's kind of how I interpreted it, too.

[Dread]

What's the problem with those? "Stature" is perfect for someone who can both shrink and grow; "Speed" is succinct ("It tells you everything you need to know." I believe he said).

One early solict mistakenly claimed Cassie's codename was "Titan", which seemed better to me. Stature just rolls off the tongue oddly to me in a name.

Speed is just too blunt. Imagine if I named an invulnerable person "Durabile". Granted, before someone throws it in my face, there are characters with blunt names that I do like, such as Gravity (well, sort of) and Invincible. But Speed just seems too...obvious. Like anyone, ANY ONE on the face of the entire earth, if given a task to name a character with super-speed, would think of that. Imagine a gunslinger named Guns. It just seems lazy. But now I feel like Mark Grayson lecturing Spidey in MTU. :p

It seems to me like she can only be found when she wants to be.

So far, EVERYONE has been able to find her if they really looked. Go to Transia or where-ever, wander around, Poof. If the YA can't do that, it will be very silly.

[Colossal Spoons]

I still wonder if Beast knew he was talking to Wanda a few weeks back

[Dread]

I still wonder if Beast knew he was talking to Wanda a few weeks back

He should. They'd only spent time as Avengers together for a while in real time. :p

[Colossal Spoons]

Well he sure acted confused about it lol

[Dread]

Well he sure acted confused about it lol

So do most writers when you tell them, "Beast was an Avenger for years in real time." :p

Granted, I didn't read the build up to Messiah Complex, so who knows. Just from what I hear, anyone who stumbles around looking for Wanda in the right place finds her easily. Why no one seems to try to force her to undo M-Day beyond plot convience is unknown.

[spideyboy_1111]

ummm beast definately knew it was wanda... he was talking to her like she was the schitzo that she is... he wasn't sure if she truely remembered who she was or not.

[Harlekin]

Yeah, Beast knew it was Wanda, he was trying to get through to her and ultimately decided it was best not to.

[PhotoJones]

Which is a bull**** move as far as I'm concerned. That's three people now who know the whereabouts of Wanda and have done nothing to either bring her in, or put any kind of effort into protecting her from people who like to see her dead.

[TheCorpulent1]

The latter I can't argue with, but I suspect the former hasn't been done because they fear her power and instability. That combination has already led to some major problems in the form of Disassembled, House of M, and M-Day when she was pushed even slightly over the edge. Beast and Hawkeye probably haven't tried to take her in because they don't want her to fly off the handle again and erase them from existence or annihilate part of a continent to get away from them or put polka-dots on every bunny in the world just because.

[PhotoJones]

Yeah, but you can't just leave her out there, can you? I mean, I'd be more afraid of her being left to her own devices then the consequences of trying to bring her in.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's a tricky proposition either way. She generally hasn't done much of anything when she's been left alone. Her past indiscretions were the result of stress from the Avengers, stress from her family, and stress from the resistance in House of M. Sure, the potential that she could do harm on her own exists, but evidence suggests that attempting to bring her in if she doesn't want to go--which, clearly, she doesn't or she would've done so on her own--would result more definitely in negative consequences. Leaving her alone (or banging her, if you're Hawkeye :whatever: ) is the lesser of two evils, plain and simple.

[Kevin]

What if the way her 'final" spell worked (The one after "no more mutant" and that left her mindwiped) What if only those who don't want to harm her can find her? Unlikely, but possible.

Alright, then offer up some protection so that people who might be looking for her can't find her. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

That would make sense.

[CaptainCanada]

So far, EVERYONE has been able to find her if they really looked. Go to Transia or where-ever, wander around, Poof. If the YA can't do that, it will be very silly.
Hawkeye was the only one who did that, seemingly without any prompting, but then, Wanda's role is very mysterious, so it isn't clear what, if anything, she might have done.

In Beast's case, he was led to Transia by a dream, presumably sent by Wanda herself in some form.

[TheCorpulent1]

Those are the only two people I know of who've tried to find her. :confused:

[PhotoJones]

I don't think Strange actively tried to find her, but I'm pretty sure he's aware of where she is.

[TheCorpulent1]

He can probably "sense her presence in the ether" or some other vague bull**** like that. He loves that stuff.

[PhotoJones]

There's that. But, I was thinking that Clint probably just straight up told him where she is. :)

[Harlekin]

Just snipe the *****.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, no one who cares about her would do that, and if various people in here are right, she's reality-warping her way out of the sights of those who want to harm her.

I just realized what your avatar was and it's awesome. Cris is the shiznittlebang. :up:

[Harlekin]

He is indeed.

[PhotoJones]

Scott Pilgrim, FTW! :up:



What? Oh. :(

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, no one cares about your goofy, big-eyed avatar. :o

[PhotoJones]

Ramona Flowers does. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, no one knows who that is. :o

[PhotoJones]

I know. :(

[The Geek Vault]

I miss Wiccan

[TheCorpulent1]

I almost wish the Initiative weren't a horribly corrupt institution full of misguided idiots and outright evil bastards so that the Young Avengers could just be folded into that and we could get some focus on them.

[PhotoJones]

I just wish Marvel would put out a new series. I don't care about the creative team anymore. It could be drawn by Liefeld and I'd....nevermind.

[The Geek Vault]

Come on man! Stay in there. We're not that desperate! Not yet. It's gonna be ok

[PhotoJones]

I'm getting weaker. :(

[The Geek Vault]

It's gonna be ok. It's gonna be ok. We'll get em back. Patriot, Wiccan, Hulking all of 'em. You'll see.

[PhotoJones]

I'm just going to have to start making my own damn Young Avengers comics. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Just hold out for another month until the one-shots start. You'll get your fix then.

[PhotoJones]

It's bittersweet, though. It's a series of one-shots. I want a series. Period.

[The Geek Vault]

the shots can hold me over for awhile.

[PhotoJones]

Who are the creative teams again?

[TheCorpulent1]

It's bittersweet, though. It's a series of one-shots. I want a series. Period.
If they sell well, I'm pretty sure an ongoing won't be far behind. The first volume of YA sold well, too.

[PhotoJones]

I can't believe you just said that. :down

[The Geek Vault]

I don't get it?

[PhotoJones]

It's been how long now since the first volume ended? And Corp's saying that if these sell well, there'll be a new series soon. How quickly we forget how things work at the House of Ideas. :whatever:

[CaptainCanada]

Who are the creative teams again?
#1 - Ed Brubaker (art by Paco Medina)
#2 - Brian Reed (art by Harvey Talibao)
#3 - Robert Aguire-Sacasa
#4 - Paul Cornell
#5 - ?
#6 - ?

As to sales, I don't think it's ever been a question of sales; the first volume was a big hit, the CW crossover miniseries sold about the same; it was just a matter of them waiting on Heinberg.

[PhotoJones]

That Talibao guy isn't half bad. I don't like some of his costume designs, but other then that he's pretty good.

[TheCorpulent1]

He was good on Knights of the Old Republic. Not as good as Dustin Weaver, who's easily my favorite artist to draw KotOR, but good.
It's been how long now since the first volume ended? And Corp's saying that if these sell well, there'll be a new series soon. How quickly we forget how things work at the House of Ideas. :whatever:
I never said "soon," I said it wouldn't be far behind. Clearly, they're finally ready to move on without Heinberg, so all they have to do is get a writer and an artist and go.

[PhotoJones]

I'm not giving Marvel the benefit of the doubt in this case. We all know what they need to do, but that's a lot different from them actually doing it.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, they haven't even finished soliciting the one-shots, so it's a bit premature to even speculate about an ongoing in the first place. We'll have to wait and see.

[PhotoJones]

I'm tired of waiting, dammit! :cmad:

[CaptainCanada]

And yet, still you wait.

[PhotoJones]

Who says I'm waiting? :confused:

I've started making my own YA comics. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Let's see 'em.

[PhotoJones]

I'm at work. You know this.

[TheCorpulent1]

A likely story. :o

[PhotoJones]

I'll have the first issue done by the end of the week. You'll see. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

If it's not posted by then, I'm gonna start calling you Hitch Jr.

[PhotoJones]

Have you seen my art? That's the best compliment I'll ever get. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

That was more about the lateness than the art, but I'm glad you incorrectly take it as a compliment.

Now get to work. :cmad:

[PhotoJones]

I AM AT WORK, GODDAMMIT! :cmad:

[Kevin]

"Get to work." *sigh* You should be the new EiC.

[TheCorpulent1]

I AM AT WORK, GODDAMMIT! :cmad:
Real work, I mean. Comic work!

[PhotoJones]

I've been sketching out ideas for the last hour.

[Colossal Spoons]

I just realized what your avatar was and it's awesome. Cris is the shiznittlebang. :up:

First Brian Willy goes all "urban" on us, now you? lol

[Colossal Spoons]

If they sell well, I'm pretty sure an ongoing won't be far behind. The first volume of YA sold well, too.

I want everybody buying 2! :cmad:

[Arkady Rossovich]

I'm tired of waiting, dammit! :cmad:

I know,i heard from someone i know that said Allan Heinberg doesn't want any other writer to continue the series.Out of being selfish,when anyone else could do a decent job.I mean,how long has it been since the series was put on hold?

[The Geek Vault]

idk I don't want my fav. characters freaked up ya know. But if someone can do just as a good I'll take it. I also want my freakin young black panter!

[squeekness]

I just realized what your avatar was and it's awesome. Cris is the shiznittlebang. :up:What the heck is a shiznittlebang or do I not want to know... :p

[TheCorpulent1]

I know,i heard from someone i know that said Allan Heinberg doesn't want any other writer to continue the series.Out of being selfish,when anyone else could do a decent job.I mean,how long has it been since the series was put on hold?
2 years now. Heinberg honestly shouldn't have any say in what Marvel does with the Young Avengers, either. Granted, Marvel probably wants to not piss him off so he'll come back and do more work for them, but after a certain amount of time passes, delaying comics to pander to creators just becomes ridiculous.

[Colossal Spoons]

Ridiculous indeed

[PhotoJones]

Why would Marvel care about pissing him off? I mean, that's like hoping Kevin Smith can come back and take 2 years to finish another 4 issue series.

[TheCorpulent1]

Which Marvel would do in a heartbeat. Smith is a far bigger name to the general public than any comic writer short of Stan Lee. Heinberg's not as big, but he could probably still get Marvel exposure to other markets. For that kind of potential mass-market penetration, why wouldn't they kiss Smith's ass and just shrug and smile when his comics are years late?

"Business. Always Business." - The Greek, The Wire season 2

Yeah, I quoted that ****. What? :cmad:

[PhotoJones]

Aw, ****. I forgot to watch that clip last night.

[TheCorpulent1]

S'too bad. I finished the second season of The Wire last night. It wasn't quite as consistently good as the first season, but it was still great.

[PhotoJones]

I figure after the holiday season settles down, I'll get around to watching it from the first season on.

[TheCorpulent1]

I hate work so much more now because it's time spent not watching The Wire. But I get to stay home until six on Saturday, so I'm gonna wake up early and watch the hell out of some episodes then. :up:

[PhotoJones]

Do you work 7 days a week?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes. And tomorrow I'll be working 19 hours. 20 if you count the commute between my two jobs. The library's on extended hours for finals. :o

[PhotoJones]

Jesus, man. What the hell are you spending money on that you need so much of it?

[Darthphere]

Crack cocaine.

[PhotoJones]

Nah, he's still fat.

[Darthphere]

Bloating.

[CaptainCanada]

I know,i heard from someone i know that said Allan Heinberg doesn't want any other writer to continue the series.Out of being selfish,when anyone else could do a decent job.I mean,how long has it been since the series was put on hold?
I don't recall that. After #12 of the first volume, Heinberg said he wouldn't be available for a while, and Marvel unexpectedly offered to hold the series for him, which they did for a while. In his most recent WordBalloon interview, he said that he was disappointed that he hadn't been able to get back to it, and so Marvel was reassessing the situation.

[Colossal Spoons]

Jesus, man. What the hell are you spending money on that you need so much of it?

Crack cocaine.

Hahahah, awesome

[TheCorpulent1]

Shut up, I just don't get paid that much. I hate you guys. :(

[AndThePickles]

Shut up, I just don't get paid that much. I hate you guys. :(

Aw :csad:

[PhotoJones]

Do you spend more on comics then you do on food?

[RockSP]

Shut up, I just don't get paid that much. I hate you guys. :(

Hell, I had two jobs until recently. Would still have two if one didn't go out of business.

[PhotoJones]

I've got two jobs, myself.

[Anubis]

I've got one and boy does it suck. You'd be surprised how many people have a case of the herps.

[PhotoJones]

Um...what do you do for a living?

[Anubis]

....give people herpes...:o

[PhotoJones]

That means you have herpes. Gross. :down

[Anubis]

And soon, so will the entire world!!! :grin:

[PhotoJones]

That's the gayest smiley ever.

[Anubis]

I know. Fabolous isn't it?

[PhotoJones]

Is that why you have herpes?

[Anubis]

....yes. :(

[PhotoJones]

It's okay, man. From what I've seen on TV, people with herpes get to do all kinds of stuff that people without herpes don't get to do. You can go hiking, and boating and horseback riding. Oh, and you live on the beach.

[Anubis]

Yeah, having the Herps is Awesome. :up: Except for the itchy bumps.

[PhotoJones]

And judging from the TV commercials, you've gotta be the first black man ever with herpes, so that's something. :up:

[Anubis]

I'm an innovator! :ss: :dry: Okay, this has gotten outta hand.

To answer your question, I work in an STD clinic.

[PhotoJones]

That makes a little bit more sense. :up:

[Colossal Spoons]

That's the gayest smiley ever.

It's popular on rave message boards :up:


:grin: :grin: :grin:

[TheCorpulent1]

Do you spend more on comics then you do on food?
No. Well, I guess it depends on trades on a week-by-week basis, but usually no. If I cooked, I would. But I cook maybe twice a month, so buying about $15 or $20 of food a day gets expensive.
It's okay, man. From what I've seen on TV, people with herpes get to do all kinds of stuff that people without herpes don't get to do. You can go hiking, and boating and horseback riding. Oh, and you live on the beach.
The herpes life is the good life. :up:

[yenaled]

I'm an innovator! :ss: :dry: Okay, this has gotten outta hand.

To answer your question, I work in an STD clinic.

Do you really?

Because... well I have this rash...

[PhotoJones]

No. Well, I guess it depends on trades on a week-by-week basis, but usually no. If I cooked, I would. But I cook maybe twice a month, so buying about $15 or $20 of food a day gets expensive.

The herpes life is the good life. :up:

Good Lord, $20 a day on food?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, like $6 or $7 for lunch and dinner. That's $14. Sometimes I spend a little more on dinner. Cooking would save me a lot of money, but I'm really lazy.

[PhotoJones]

Cooking's not hard, dude. If you've got someone to cook for, then it's a lot of fun. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't have anyone to cook for except myself, and then I have to wash the dishes afterwards. Also, my roommate cooks a lot so the dishwasher and sink are always full with her junk, so that's just more of a hassle about it. Plus it's time-consuming. I could be watching more TV or reading more comics in the time that I would spend cooking. :o

[PhotoJones]

You live with a lady? Oooohooo. ;)

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, my cousin, inbreeder. :o

[PhotoJones]

Oh. Why not just say "my cousin," instead of "my roommate"?

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know, she's both. I use them interchangeably in my head.

[PhotoJones]

Does she read comics?

[Anubis]

Do you really?

Because... well I have this rash...


Does it smell funny?

[PhotoJones]

Rashes can have a smell? :confused:

[Anubis]

Oh yes. They can. And if he's got what I think he has, he better get his ass to a doctor pronto.

[PhotoJones]

How can you determine what he has just by, "I've got this rash"? :confused:

[TheCorpulent1]

Does she read comics?
Nope. She loved the '90s X-Men cartoon when we were growing up, though.

[PhotoJones]

You need to get that girl reading some comics. :o

[Anubis]

How can you determine what he has just by, "I've got this rash"? :confused:


Because I know Yen and what he likes to dip his pen into, thats how. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Damn, I would not have taken yen for a man who's into dirty poon.

[PhotoJones]

Okay, discussion over.

So, how 'bout them Young Avengers?

[LouFerignoDemon]

They need a new book.

Speaking of which...

It's the end of the week, PJ.

[Anubis]

Patriot likes dirty poon too.

[PhotoJones]

They need a new book.

Speaking of which...

It's the end of the week, PJ.

Weekends are good? :confused:

[LouFerignoDemon]

No no. Where's the YA comic you said you'd have by the end of the week self made by you? :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh yeah, cough it up.

PJ: "I'm at work!"

Cough it up when you get home, then. No later than 6 p.m.! :cmad:

[PhotoJones]

Oh. Uh...yeah. Comics. Um. Here they ar--oh no, my computer is crashing! Oh no! CRASH!! PSHCT! BURNS!

[squeekness]

Oh. Uh...yeah. Comics. Um. Here they ar--oh no, my computer is crashing! Oh no! CRASH!! PSHCT! BURNS!A likely excuse. :p

[PhotoJones]

LALALALA, I can't hear you! My computer crashed! :o

[Darthphere]

No no. Where's the YA comic you said you'd have by the end of the week self made by you? :o

Never fear:

I should totally be the new writer of Young Avengers:

Scene

1/Cassie Lang's bedroom. Night. She is changing out of her Stature costume into her pajamas. She is fully naked, the shadows hide her womanly parts. Enter Patriot....naked.

Patriot: Woah, sorry Cassie. Thought this was Kate's room.

Cassie: Eli, I've never seen one that big before.

Patriot: Wanna see how it feels?

Cassie: Oh my!

/End Scene

[TheCorpulent1]

You are a sick, sick man. Obviously it'd be the Vision 2.0, not Patriot. :o

[Darthphere]

Vision 2.0 has a new Cap shield?

[PhotoJones]

That scene make me feel funny between my legs. :confused: :(

[yenaled]

I didn't know rashes could smell.

Infact, I didn't want to know rashes could smell.

[PhotoJones]

I feel you, man. I feel you. :(

[Darthphere]

I should finish writing that.

[PhotoJones]

I'll draw it. :up:

[Darthphere]

Hawt.

[PhotoJones]

Wanna take over Marvel with me and Corp?

[TheCorpulent1]

You need to hire darth_coolius to draw that. If you can find him, I mean.
I feel you, man. I feel you. :(
Don't feel him, he's got a smelly rash. That's gross, dude. :o

[PhotoJones]

Rashes are hot. :o

[LouFerignoDemon]

I'll draw it. :up:


I'll buy it in exaggerated qualities, then bash it on the net so you guys will be like real editors/writers/artists/inkists/whatevers.

[TheCorpulent1]

Rashes are hot. :o
That's the inflammation talking.

[PhotoJones]

No, that's the spreading infection talking. :(

[TheCorpulent1]

We warned you. :o

[PhotoJones]

Not knowing a damn thing about VD's is great. :up:
