I don't know, if you're just hearing about this on the internet, it seems like you don't know what Marvel's doing, one way or the other. One wonders why you care about events in a book you're clearly not even reading.

It's tiresome to hear about how events in the books are so terrible from people who haven't read them. Make no mistake, they may, in fact, be terrible--but to make that determination before you read is ridiculous. Once upon a time people thought it was a bad idea to put Spider-Man on the Avengers, and that worked out pretty damn well.

Um, I've been reading the crap Marvel have been putting out for long enough and hearing about more crap that Marvel insist on serving up to people like you irritates me. I don't need to read the stories if I'm aware of the concepts. Marvel are predicatble with their constant bs and I guess its even more staggering when they go the extra mile with it.

Explain how? I'm being sincere, in case you thought otherwise. Even if Spider-man on the team isn't your cup of tea, I don't see how it could be "bad." Neutral, sure, but to be bad suggests to me it has to be hurting something--which it isn't.

Really, considering the relationships Spider-Man has with some heroes in the MU--especially his longstanding friendship with the FF--it's actually completely absurd that it took him as long as it did to get on the team. I didn't think it would be a good fit originally, but having read it for a few years now, it's turned out extremely well, and more than that, I now think Spider-Man belongs on the team. It's been a long time coming.

If "I don't need to read the stories in order to know they suck" is really your philosophy, I guess there's no helping you. It's really your loss, in the end.

OMD and BND were also bad ideas. Marvel are intent of turning the house into *****.
I'm not saying "Marvel is great, you should love them!" There's no doubt that OMD was crap, and that some of the stories that have come down the pipe have been bad--but an attitude like "Marvel wants everything to suck, so I hate it before it even comes out" is just willful ignorance. There are a lot of different creators doing a lot of different things at Marvel, and a lot of them are outright fantastic.

I don't think Marvel is purposefully sabotaging their comic books but I do agree with Ajendo for the most.

For me personally anything in the past 6 years has been somewhat unreadable for me. I just stick to the old issues I got. I wait long periods to the point where I forget most the story and then re read them.

Own this tee.
 
I think Sony made a wise move showing us the full costume this early. We still have well over a year before the film comes out. In 18 months, nearly all of us that hate the costume will either have grown to like/accept it or will not give a ****.

You like the suit in the manip...don't you?

:oldrazz:

I think that if there's one thing marvel has done wrong in the past few years is the amount of big crossover stories. LEt's not forget that the books have been bumped up a prie as well. These massive crossover stories obviously branch out across numerous books from Marvel. That's alot of money to spend if someone is itnerested in the big story.

However, I think ASM has been doing quite well since BND, if you ask me. So far, Big Time is doing really well, IMO, and it's also good to have
Gargan back as Scorpion.
I'm also excited for the upcoming Venom story by Rick Remender.
 
Yeah I need to get back to reading some more Marvel titles.

Recently I had been reading Batman R.I.P but just like some of the Marvel titles its also tied to other series and whatnot and it makes things complicated and expensive.

Although I have to say that I did enjoy reading the parts I got to. Morrison did a good job for the most part.

But I defintely need to catch up on my Marvel titles especially Spidey.
 
^^ When you do go back, I think you should only read Spidey, Avengers and maybe 1 more title. I mean, these big stories are braching out across tons of titles. Do they honestly expect us to buy most of them? Still, though, I still think Marvel is awesome and ASM is really good at this point.
 
Yeah. Defintely Spidey and some Avengers.

I'll keep it simple. The rest that I can't afford, I'll just Marvel wikia it.

Although I'm sure I'll still miss a crap load of stuff. Oh well.
 
I'll be adding the new F.F. series to my list though now that Spidey is part of the team. I was reading the book a few months back, but I had to drop it due to money issues.

RIP wasn't actually tied to any other series--some books were labeled as tie-ins when RIP was coming out, but those stories were not actually related to RIP in any significant way. Really, everything you need to read for RIP was in the main Batman title. If you found that you were lost or confused, it's probably because events that occurred earlier in Morrison's run on that book were very important to the events of RIP--so while, yes, it was complicated and expensive, it was all contained within the same title.

It was only after RIP that things started spilling into other books (Final Crisis, Batman & Robin, and The Return of Bruce Wayne).

This might sound messed up but I might just go to Barnes and Noble or my comic shop and just sit there and read as much as I can.

Used to do that every day after school back in HS. I saved a crap load of money and that way bought the issues that I found really good.

Might just start doing that again. :funny: I'm so cheap.

Yeah that sort of intimidated me as ridiculous as that sounds.

I remember I stopped at the point where Bruce finds himself without memory and as a homeless man. Maybe a little ahead that but thats the final state I remember leaving it at.

The events didn't seem that confusing I got most of the stuff although I'm sure some references flew over my head.

I don't blame you; it's pretty annoying to see a fleet of tie-ins come out with every "event." Really, I don't mind spending the money, I just want stuff to be 1) actually important, and 2) easy to keep track of. If you look at DC's upcoming Flashpoint event, there are over a dozen tie-in miniseries. Not only do I not know which of those are actually important, but that's just a pain in the ass to keep track of.

It really depends on whether you read Morrison's entire run or just RIP, because a lot of earlier events are referenced.

Yeah I hodgepodge it and started at the first issue of R.I.P or with Batman R.I.P and then went from there.

I guess I didn't really start at the beginning as I probably should have started reading from the point Morissons first issue in his Batman run.

Defintely going to go back and re read it as I actually was enjoying myself. I like how he portrays Gotham it feels really dirty and just grimy like real urban areas. Not just some silly comic take but an actual city.

Some guy made this time line on were one should start with the Morisson run. Seeing as you seem well versed in the Bat comics do you think this is good chart in how I should approach it?

That seems quite complete, yes. Some aspects are more important than others (You can pretty much skip Fifty-Two; there were a couple of Batman moments that are important later, but not worth buying the entire series for).
 
Thanks for the pointers Saint. Much appreciated.

Defintely going to get started reading up on these as I was telling Spidey Hero. Now I got my schedule cut out for me. Batman and Spidey and some Avengers maybe.

Should be fun reading. Thanks for the recommendation guys. :up:
