Man, I really hate Luke's classic costume. I like the one used in the games, yellow shirt & black jeans. It's like the classic for the fans, but it doesn't look dumb either.

well i am a OG( Ole geek). I dig the classic without the tiara( the more i heard you guys diss it the mosre i stop liking it. I havent seen the game so i dont know but i would some sorta oufit, like maybe black jean a yellow muscle shirt and the chain belt with the shave head... but i do know i &^%$# hated this

I love his classic costume, but I think the yellow t-shirt and jeans is a good compromise for you squeamish "new" fans. :oldrazz:

Speaking for myself, it was never my intention to make you go sour on the 70s look, BV. Like what you like, man. I just never bought it as a kid and even now. When you're Power Man, you have to represent harder than the tiara. :hehe:

I do like your suggestions though. :word:

I liked Cages 90s costume better than the old yellow shirt and tiara one.

I love how old school cage didn't give a damn. If you owed him money he would come round and beat your ass until you payed up even if your Doctor Doom.

Cage had the craziest villains as well like an obease drug dealing old black women

Speaking for myself, it was never my intention to make you go sour on the 70s look, BV. Like what you like, man. Oh baby ! I always keep digging what i like even when people talk trash about it.Even the character in the comic are commenting on the tiara. HAHAHA! It was mostly because that was then and this is now. And unlike what most people on here might believe( Cough Cough Anubis). I aint stuck in the 70's! Change is good. I was there for Hal when he murdered all the GLs , Blue and Red Supes and all that.I like my characters to evolve and their clothes to change too.I dont want a Spiderman OMD and Luke Still living in Harlem trying to get paid. I dug that he lead the Avengers.I will always looooove the classic tiara look and all but i also dig the shaved head( mostly cause thats me now). Dude just needs to get some kind of damn uniform though. Come on. That Black shirt and jeans look is tired. I just never bought it as a kid and even now.
but you bought that a rich guy would dress as a bat with his faithful butler and ward with batarangs and not be chasing girls! Ooooookay hehe

Don't forget the arc where Cage replaced Ben Grimm in FF when Ben lost his powers...then Ben tried to pick a fight with him because he was jealous. :hehe:

Yeah, Cage needs a respectable overhaul of attire and as for me loving someone dressed up as a Bat, well, when I see ONE kid sporting the tiara and yellow blouse on Halloween, I soften my disdain. :woot:

That was when i really started liking ben. The Big Lunkhead wanted to be normal but he still wanted to beat the crap outta people. Too cool!That was an awesome arc

^ Heheoh yeah. He's like this stocky white guy about 6'3( I am only 6) into comics too( not to my extent) but he knows who Iron Fist is. He got no problem with the spandex and the high collar or the open shirt dragon tattoo. the only thing is the shoes!! He's like Man i aint wearing those!! I was cracking up.... a little bit more liquid encouragement and i will get em. Damn that would be cool seeing us two jokers like that.
he was "Ash" from army of darkness last year and the chicks mob his ass.
Reminds me of the time one Halloween when I dressed up like Punisher in all black and had to chaperone my son and his friends door to door back when he was six years old.

I had to use his brightly colored play guns just in case the cops drove by and felt froggy to start something. The toy guns that look real could get you f***ed up if you're not careful. :hehe:

He could dress as Jason Todd instead. When he's not stealing other people's identities, he's basically the Punisher in a diamond mask:

Contrary to what you may percieve, BV, I happen to like Marvel characters very much - Punisher being my favorite despite being such a one-trick pony.

I mean who hasn't felt cool putting on that skull tshirt at least once? Big, muscular guy that I am, I looked pretty good. :hehe:

Man! all this Halloween talk and *scaring old ladies is so amping me up! I so need a rum and coke and halloween to be here. i cant decide Alice in wonderland or Supergirl ( no i aint dressing like her which one i wanna show my comic collection too)Obi-Ron has got me all jonesing for Supergirl.

Haha, that is so awesome & hilarious. :woot:
I bet he whooped Doom's a** too.

Here's the "game" costume, it's used in 'Spider-Man: Web of Shadows' & 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2'. Maybe it's Activision trying to say "Put him in this instead of those lame gangster clothes".

I dunno. I'll be in the minority and say I much prefer him in his regular attire than in a costume. Something about his character I can't quite see him in a costume.

You want to talk about bad fashion choices in comics? Floating Hands made a hilarious cartoon about villains discussing their silly costumes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt8lgI-9RiY

But that's a little off-topic, so let me fix that.

What's everyone favorite Storm costume? She seems to go through a new one every couple of years.

Martha Washington from Frank Miller

All the Milestone characters, but especially Icon, Hardware, Buck Wild, Rocket, Tech-9 and of course Static.

Flashback was a great character too. Having an actual functioning crackhead on the team must of been a hard write. They pulled it off well though.

DMZ was cool, not as cool as Hardware though. I found it hillarious that he had gone to Norfolk Stae for a bit.:yay: Also, that his car produced an image that showed him as a white person so the ppolice wouldn't wonder why a Black man was driving such a badd ass car.:yay: That was something only a black persoon would dare include in their writing.

Power Man was crappy name IMO.

Icon, Hardware, Buck Wild, and the Blood Syndicate were amazing. Especially given how weird the mainstream stuff was then.

You could be right but as you well know there are Black Puerto Ricans so that's close enough.

I mean Marvel colored him so dark and depending on the artist, his hair could be considered a brotha's 'fro or process so...there ya go. :cwink:

I don't recall him ever being solo but I thought he was at least worth mentioning. I remember loving to read their adventures.

The chick who could morph into a real white tiger was actually, in fact, a real white tiger who could morph into a chick. She was one of the High Evolutionary's New (wo)Men.

Don't forget Kasper Cole, too, even though he wasn't really a martial artist or in any way connected to the "main" White Tiger legacy. He was called "the White Tiger," though.

Cool. That clears it up because my mom threw away alot of my old Marvel karate themed comics back then when I went to college so I couldn't go and check when I got home in my current stash. I knew that those didn't survive her wrath. :hehe:

Still could pass for a black guy though. Even had a few mannerisms of one.

Shoot, the reason he looked like a brother was that the artists from that era didn't even know how to draw/portray Black folks, much less a PR dude. They made everyone look like white people with melanin. Despite being headquatered in NYC, where they saw Blacks and PR's all day long.

As a kid I had major problems with that, Luke Cage was the only Black hero that actually acted like a brotha. He was tryin' to get some money for his work. He said it in the Iron Fist comic recently. "Don't forget about the for hire part, ain't doin' this for free."

I also liked Cardiac.He was otherdriven in that he did what he did for own reasons and didn't give a da@# how anyone felt.

Which used to befuddle me as a kid. PRs made up nearly a half of my school's students back then; you'd figure that one of their artists then would at least take reference to a segment of the population that's right in their faces daily. It was more like why bother?

I don't even want to get started on the blatant yellow skin tones used for Asians back then.

^^^One thing that I miss about Priest's BP run were the T'Challa/Tony Stark pi**ing contests. I really started disliking IM around that time. Shortly thereafter, Thor takes a chunk outta IM's a$$ for being the tool he usually is.

But pretty much everyone is more tolerant than Ultimate Captain Asswad. :o

And Thor is unprejudiced in the sense that he doesn't think any kind of people are lesser than any other; he just thinks all people are lesser than he and his godly brethren. He was offended that Magneto thought he was a mutant, not because he hates mutants but because mutants aren't gods. :hehe:

I think Bamma must mean something different where you live Vulcan. Let me school on what it means here.

Bamma ;
A general-multi used DC Metro area term used to describe a person who has no style, taste, or class. Usually this person has no idea that he/she is classified as a Bamma - rather they go about their daily lives thinking what they do, say, or wear is acceptable.
1. That dude came to work with dress slacks and white tube socks..what a BAMMA!
2. I got a co-worker who is missing 2 front teeth, but she came to work showing me a portofolio of pictures she got from Sears, talking about she's gonna be a model. Yo, that chick is a straight Bamma!

3. A person lacking style and/or common sense.
(originated from D.C/ MD)
style- "Dat ***** got on dem pink chucks and sweat pants, this ***** is a straight bamma"
common sense- "why would you even go over there without being strapped, ***** yous a bamma"

I didn't like Tempest was my point. I felt he a sop to the black community. If you dug him, more power to you.:yay: You still my Brotha'.

Now, he's an A-hole in real life...but that's another story.:yay: Did anyone here about him going off on some woman at a comic con in NYC a few years back when she asked why he doesn't write strong black women characters? He was on a panel and was evidently an amazing jerk to her.

There are good demons too. I can't think of any off the top of my head in the Marvel universe, but there must be. And humans get resurrected like 70% of the time too, so they're not all that different from demons in that respect.

I really don't like the idea of good demons, I mean the point of demons is they are demons. Personally I see any demon or zombie I shoot them on sight. Last halloween was a bloodbath outside my door.

I like that green dude with the horns from Angel. Did he die or something?
The character, no. The actor did, though. :csad:

How come this thread does not have a poll.

Oh and for favorite black heroes, Blade has been on the upswing lately but it is hard to go against the classics like T'challa and Cage.

I say that it is a tie between those two, and you know maybe Luke can bring some of the cool seventies vibe back to Marvel. I know it is a tired dated thing but I say bring back the yellow & blue uniform. Those were cool duds crew.

Marvel comics are getting kind of grim lately and they can always use some more cool flava.

Too many choices. I mean, who's gonna remember to put Crispus Allen and Misty Knight on a poll?

No one. And that would be a crime.

Well, maybe Misty. But no one would remember Cris, and that is a crime! :argh:

Everyone should remember Misty because of Iron Fist and anyone who doesn't read Iron Fist doesn't count in polls.

Hawkeye? Heck, Cage is hardly what you call 'mighty'.

Falcon's awesome.

The Avengers weren't Earth's Mightiest Heroes because they were the most powerful. They were Earth's Mightiest because they were damn good.

Loved it. Next to Static and Hardware I didn't have much interest for the character at first. What mostly got me to try this was that I've been interested in Milestone for years and Dwayne McDuffie wrote this. Now I will say that I am in fact a fan of both Icon and Rocket. Both characters play off well with each other and I love that despite their differences of beliefs, they both teach each other new things that they've never actually thought to consider. Icon and Rocket are truly inspiring characters and I'd love to read more.

I seriously hope the sales for this are good because I want to read the rest of this series. This and Static and I know for sure I'll be into the Hardware trade coming up. Milestone Forever, here I come!

....Good point, but atleast Hank made it so he can grow into Giant Man.

I always heard that Icon was intentionally boring because the real story was about Rocket. Never read the stories myself so that wasn't my opinion, just something I remember from an interview with the creator. I really liked the way Static was handled in the cartoon, he didn't have the flaws that many "ethnic" characters of being either to much of a stereo type or going the other way being so generic, they don't seem to be informed by their ethnicity at all. With Static the character was clearly an African of American extraction, but the writers did beat you over the head with it either. Well at least that's my perspective as a white guy, or if my avatar is to be believed, a white fox in a red gi.

I don't know if this has already been posted and maybe everybody here has seen this already. If not then here ya go folks. I made a thread of this over on the Misc. Comics section.

Arcana Comics is proud to announce that the Black Jesus trailer is now online at arcana.com. Black Jesus (AUG09 0633), created by Jimmy Blondell and David Krintzman, asks the question what happens when someone is born different? Are they accepted? And if they are accepted, what are they accepted as? Chris is born with special gifts and every individual has their own beliefs. Is Chris a Mutant or a Messiah?

To coincide with the release of the book, Jimmy Blondell has created a trailer which he says, « … is a mash up of the Graphic Novel and the screenplay. I infused illustrations and iconography from the comic-book and then I added some rough cut footage from the screenplay. The music element I chose really added a dark edge that helped reflect the stories tone. »
The trailer can be viewed online at Arcana’s official website.
