The Twelve

Maybe he shot at the person who did kill Blue Blade.

Maybe, but Blue Blade seems like a bit of a dick idk he just came off that way from the first few pages. Also maybe Blue Blade didn't want to register?1

I wonder which one of them is gay, because you know one of them is.

It's not a bullet wound... it's a repulsor wound!

My guess would be flaming mask or Laughing mask or blue blade. Also a question in issue 1 on the first page who is the guy next to captain america? Demon looking guy anyone?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Blue Blade's too obvious. I think it's Dynamic Man.

 

[RockSP]

I think it's Dynamic Man.

You and Phantom Reporter...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, the Phantom Reporter's a reporter. He's gotta have good gaydar, right?

But he's been frozen for a long time so it's probably a little rusty.

 

[Darthphere]

I like the dude that's racist.

 

[RockSP]

Heh.

 

[GNR]

Kaare's covers are awesome.He should do interiors with that style.

 

[LemonSunday]

I think Kaare's not doing the covers anymore.

 

[Dread]

Kaare's covers are usually good.

I saw his interiors during a brief fill in run during Millar's launch of Ultimate X-Men, and it wasn't appropriate. Too cartoony.

 

[LemonSunday]

Yeah, Kaare's a jack of all trades. He's also a film director.

 

[The Geek Vault]

Someone remind me what are dynamic man's powers again? Also can anyone know who the guy who looks like a demon next to cap on the first page of issue one is?

 

[RockSP]

Someone remind me what are dynamic man's powers again?

Flight and superstrength at the very least.

issue #3 was pretty good. that dude got owned by his son. and the black widow is a creepy as chick.

Reposting my review, with spoilers:

THE TWELVE #3: People complain about JMS' pace on THOR, and in some ways THE TWELVE also has a similar one. JMS is in no rush on things here. But in a way THE TWELVE is far more justified as it does have a dozen characters to have to round out, even if not all of them survive the tale. While Fiery Mask is on the cover and has his origin told, Mister E, Black Widow, and Laughing Mask also get a lot of key scenes, E especially.

Spoiler

Mister E, or Victor Jay, changed his Jewish name so he could function in country-club society, a fact that his remaining family (an elderly son and a dying wife) torment him about. The fact that Victor is bald and hardly a muscle man sort of hits home his "average"-ness compared to some of the others (even Phantom Reporter, who has more looks and wit) and that helps hit home the aftermath of Victor's choices for me. Richard Jones is offered a position at the Bugle and the speach his recruiter gives about his perspective was very good, some of JMS at his best. The Fiery Mask's origin is full of 40's cheese like giant scientist zombies and all that, and basically he is a pryomaniac who is immune to all fire and carries a big mace, which is fine by me. Black Widow's demonic enslavement is shown in full detail and I still wonder if her "master" will be a named demon like Mephisto or Marduk Kurios or someone else.

Weston's art naturally is great at making these characters look "real" while still doing the fantastic elements right, like demons and fire-shields and whatnot (even if sometimes his flying scenes need work). JMS has a large cast and in that case if the pace was faster, some characters would be lost in the shuffle. As it is, some are, but not for lack of trying. The cover is also bad-ass. This has become a great new series dusting off some old wonders and I look forward to where it goes and how it ends. We may have a Marvel equalivent to the JSA someday yet.

i was definitely thinking of of having an equivalent JSA, written by busiek.

Isn't Busiek a DC exclusive now?

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

he is, but who else can do the job? i suppose JMS can if he wants to or Rucka.

 

[Themanofbat]

Holy hell, that's great, I'd almost forgotten about this but it is a damn good story.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

F*** this series. It ain't good enough to overcome a 3-year delay.

 

[moraldeficiency]

I'll still read it, I wasn't like waiting eagerly every month so I don't care too much as long as it's good.
