The Damn Skrulls Are Coming Back!!!!

[Colossal Spoons]

I know. And the sucky part was that he isn't even a villain, nor has he ever been in the 616. He was in the Age of Apocalypse, but not since his debut on Genosha. One of the many reasons Marvel has been really getting on my nerves lately. I'm making a prediction that by this time next year I'll be at least 60% DC and growing (as aposed to a few months ago when I didn't read a single DC book). I gave up on Spider-man and replaced it with Green Arrow/Black Canary. I was going to give up New and Mighty Avengers and replace them with Green lantern and Green Lantern Corps, but I just read the Hood storyline and liked it, so I'm going back to my original "It has until Secret Invasion to change my mind" mindset. And that's really only for New Avengers, as Mighty Avengers is simply horrendous. The horrible use of word bubbles, horrible characterisation of Ares, and constant Cho butt just kills the book for me. At least Cho is gone. If only Bendis can fix the other two it might be a decent read.

I loved the Ultimates, but Ultimates 3 just completely turned me off of that franchise. I used to love Ultimate X-Men but it went down hill long ago. I loved Runaways but haven't enjoyed it since Vaughn left. Claremont killed Exiles for me. I've just gotten so sick of Wolverine that I'm not interested in him for anything more than just a cast memeber of a team book. Add that to the horrible continuity issues with modern marvel and Wolverine: Origins I've dropped both Wolverine books. Several other titles have been dropped.

X-Men (including X-Factor and new/young X-Men) is the main line I'm sticking with, but the end of Messiah Complex kinda ticked me off with officially making Bishop a bad guy and killing off Xavier (if he even is dead... which judging by X-Men: Legacy he probably isn't, but either way that scene was handled very crappily). And not to mention the whole baby thing causing Bishop's future is SO in conflict with continuity that it isn't even funny. It could be worked in if properly explained, but we aren't even given that. Add that to the story line that there is a horrible tyrant from Bishop's future that could be killed now as a child has already been done in X-factor with Greystone, Fixx, and Archer. I liked the crossover, but I was VERY disappointed with the ending. However, X-Men may tick me off here and there, but I never actually see myself dropping them. Otherwise, Astonishing's lateness would have had me gone LONG ago.

I see myself dropping Thunderbolts whenver Ellis leaves the title. I love New Warriors but don't see it running for too long. Honestly, the only things that really seem to be keeping my interest long term are X-Men and Avengers: The Initiative. I plan to eventually start on Iron Fist regularly, so I'll probably have that, maybe Captain America too (just bought the new issue and liked it), but that's about it.

So yeah, this time next year, DC 60% or more.

Haha, glad you got that off your chest. I read everything you listed except for GA/BC

I didn't plan to but a friend at work (my only comic book friend ) suggested it and so I gave it a shot. The first 3 issues made me laugh and I actually found myself enjoying them quite a bit. The 4th issue litterally had me holding back tears. (There was no possible way I was going to let myself cry at a comic... especially while I'm sneak reading it while at work!)

Neither of the 2 characters really interest me unfortunately. I'm not on the fence about picking up any DC books right now, I think I buy all the ones I'm even slightly interested in.

Did they ban him too?!?!?!?!? Seriously i just thought he was to busy to post but imnot in the now like all you guys are. If they banned him they better have had a damn good ****ing reason he was a good guy!

Last I saw a post by CCon it said under his name that he was banned. Hasn't changed so far as I'm aware.

I actually ****ing hated him, but I kind of miss ****ing hating him. It was that good, bracing, no-nonsense kind of hatred that a hatin' kind of fella could sink his teeth into.

 

[Anubis]

I didn't care much for the guy myself.

 

[Hush]

Oh well he was nice to me and it seems alot of the posters i have gotten to know have either left or they get banned for opening there mouth and voicing there opinions.

 

[Xofenroht]

Yeah, that's how Lucifer wound up in Hell.

 

[Hush]

Yeah, that's how Lucifer wound up in Hell.

Naw, lucifer taunted God and gathered followers and they all WANTED to over throw God and he basically ***** slapped them.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, that sounds like most of the posters here.
