Best and Worst of Marvel 2007

[Doc Destruction]

PJ is thinking of Justice, btw.

 

[PhotoJones]

Huh?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What's going on around his waist area?

Nothing. He just doesn't have a belt that easily separates his torso from his legs like a lot of comic characters. He has a breastplate that comes all the way down to his waist and a black loincloth sort of thing that drapes down from that in the center. The sides have more green armor that aren't visible because he's sitting.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Justice is the book with everyone in armor, not Kingdom Come.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Kingdom Come had a fair number of armored characters, dude. Alan, the Blue Beetle, Batman, and a lot of other characters all had armor of various types.

Those are his legs?

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahahaha, what sort of stupid reasoning did the series give for that?

 

[Doc Destruction]

That's the Metal Men covering the JLA (Super Friends) to block Braniacs nanobots from affecting them.

 

[PhotoJones]

The Super Friends are canon?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nah, Justice was out of continuity.

That's the Metal Men covering the JLA (Super Friends) to block Braniacs nanobots from affecting them.

Ah, I see now. I'm guessing Superman got Lead, given that pretty much anyone else would die if you put 'em in a lead suit...

 

[PhotoJones]

Damn, Ross really can't do anything modern, can he?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He could, theoretically. He just won't. Ever.

 

[PhotoJones]

I think his fingers would fall off.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Oh you mean modern like design a new Captain America suit? Whoopsie!

 

[PhotoJones]

I've purposefully put that out of my mind.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Still invalidates your argument, boopy.

 

[PhotoJones]

So he's done a single design for modern, in continuity book. Wow. Go Alex Ross.

Oh, those armors were pure awesome. That pic was my wallpaper for like a month.

 

[PhotoJones]

Disgusting.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh you mean modern like design a new Captain America suit? Whoopsie!

What's modern about that? He adapted a Spider-Man movie design he did about 6 years ago almost line-for-line, only with a different mask and appropriately patriotic coloring, and made it shiny.

And for those that keep putting Iron Man as a villain:

Marvel has him as the #1 HERO of 2007

Marvel >>>>> Iron Man haters

I seem to remember most people applauding him when they named him best villain. I did. He makes a much better anti-heroic bastard than he does a purely heroic samaritan.

 

[PhotoJones]

Disgusting.

 

[Dread]

It really was a good year for relaunches. Nova, Thor, Immortal Iron Fist--all great stuff.

I agree. It was also a great year for new characters, too.

Yeah, especially with A:TI and kinda/sorta with New Warriors.

And The Order.

Agreed.

The sad thing is, Marvel really was having a terrific year all around for 2007. I'm reading more of their books this year and they're mostly of better quality than 2004, 2005, or 2006. And then came OMD, which ended 2007 with the worst of bad taste. It is like a gymnast giving a 8.5 -calliber athletic performance for the judges, and just when the athlete lands and does the final pose, they take a dump all over. Pooches the whole deal.

For the record, WWH: Frontline wasn't terrible.
