What's Your Marvel Comics Guilty Pleasure?

[Anubis]

Yup.

 

[Darthphere]

How would you describe something that's produced independently?

Yeah, that's not it. Vertigo titles at this point and time are considered indie. A movie released by the WB can still be considered indie. Indie isn't just some guy drawing 45 pages of a comic in his basement and send it to his local kinkos and printing 500 copies and selling it at a con. Indie is a broad term nowaday and Casanova fits the indie label, just like Criminal would, even though it's technically published by Marvel.

 

[PhotoJones]

Yup.

Well, then I'm guilty as charged.

 

[Anubis]

Well, then I'm guilty as charged.

I sentence you to a three day Who's the Boss Marathon. NO COMERCIALS. You'll also be on suicide watch.

That's the same as calling Ashlee Simpson's music "punk". You wouldn't call her punk, would you?

Just because the mainstream has encroached into the indie world, doesn't make every book with an Image logo an independent publication. I think the term is used way too loosely these days.

Dinner is served.

Insert incest joke about Supes eating his cousin.

"INCEST a game the whole family can play."

Well the term is used loosely, just like the state of Ashlee Simspon's vagina, but back on topic. At least you realize that the term has been broadened.

And Avril would be a better example on the use of "punk" as she self describes her music. She is so punk she let her song be used in the Bratz movie commercial.

The Sex Pistols ain't got nothing on that b***h.

That's exactly my point. Brubaker can describe Criminal as an indie book all he wants, but that doesn't make it so.

It is creator owned though. *shrug*

Which I specified the difference of in an earlier post.

Yeah, but I forgot it because I had my pretension block on.

You confuse that with you're "logic block". I accept your apology.

Dude, stop stealing lines I stole from other people.

What lines?

 

[Anubis]

White Lines, by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel.

 

[Marcdachamp]

Black Panther. It's a better FF book than FF is right now.

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, although I'm just picking up the hardcovers.

Oddly enough, I fell about a year ago, when I discovered that it's the only comic my campus' book store carries. I started Byrne stealing it between classes and promised that I'd eventually buy it in trade. When the incredibly nice hardcover was announced, I ordered it right away, and I was very glad I did.

It was a shame seeing Miyazawa leave, though. His art looked tremendous in the hardcover format.

 

[Ash J. Williams]

I'd have to say Moon Knight and the older Nick Fury stuff.

I realy enjoyed old Nick Fury.

 

[Steve Rogers]

The Ultimates. I know it's not the real Avengers, but I read it anyway. Ultimates 1 had the classic line up, so that was cool. I also have a bunch of odd Cap stuff like the Cap Falcon series, Captain America: What Price Glory, Captain America Sentinel of Liberty. Cap Falcon deviates from the on going Cap storyline and the other ones, as far as I know, exsist in their own universes, but I read them anyway. I'll pretty much read anything with Cap.

 

[PhotoJones]

Was Sentinel of Liberty the Roger Stern written Cap book?

 

[Steve Rogers]

Was Sentinel of Liberty the Roger Stern written Cap book?

That's the one. Didn't last long.

 

[Astrø]

Oh I liked the "Green Goblin" series from the 90's.
