The Marvelous Marvel Comics Thread
I don't know if there already is a thread for this, but I just thought that if DC Comics had a thread, why not Marvel? If there already is a Marvel Comics thread, than a Moderator can delete this.
Feel free to discuss all things Marvel Comics. |
As if killing him once wasn't bad enough, Marvel had to go and kill the ghost of Peter Parker, too. Killing him once was bad enough, but TWICE!? WHAT DID HE EVER DO TO YOU, MARVEL!? EARN YOU TOO MUCH MONEY!?
On that note, yay Spider-Man 2099! |
>Complaining about a comic book death
>2013 I'll give him a year before Peter Parker comes back. Not necessarily as Spider-Man, but he'll be back. |

But one part of why people complain about comics stagnating is because change never sticks around. We've had entire plot lines that last for seemingly ages just to get classic characters back into their original roles. I'm surprised Marvel has stuck to their guns and not reversed Pete's deal with the devil or made Brock back into Venom again. And, on a minor tangent, Marvel, fuck you for killing off Patrick Mulligan off panel with no explanation or reasoning beyond keeping Eddie Brock relevant. :\ |

And if you're suggesting that Spider-Man: One More Day is a change that took the next step in Peter's character, I have to disagree. If they wanted to do that, Peter would have divorced M.J. He'd be free to date again, but he'd also have to deal with being a divorcee. Instead, they went with the route of erasing his marriage from history because he made a deal with Mephisto to save his aunt, which, while noble, is also selfish. Yes, he saved a life, but would Aunt May want to be saved if she knew what had to be done? No, she'd rather die. Peter saved her because he couldn't deal with the possibility that she would be gone. It's a tough decision, and both options have their own filthiness. I think Linkara put it best (which is why I just ripped him off) as to why One More Day is actually a devolution of Peter as a character. |
So I realized that the Clone Saga, which my friend recommended to me, is nearly universally hated by everyone, including Linkara. He's my go to guide to comic quality.
So I think my friend has a shitty taste in Marvel books now. I already suspected him when he said he liked One more Day but this crosses it. Granted, I don't hate Clone Saga yet but that's for another post. |

I'm still annoyed by the shafting of Richard Rider especially when his series was going so well under Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Heck all Marvel Cosmic was doing great at the time. There may have been some lows (Annihilation:Conquest was not as good as it could have been) but there were some very entertaining highs (War of Kings) and Richard was at the core of a lot of it.
Now we have Sam Alexander who...well...I'm ok with the idea of a young green as grass new character but the Nova mantle was one that was coming into its own. Richard was slowly climbing up from third-string character status to something coming close to first string...then they ended him... ...And brought back Thanos and "Peter Quill"...It felt premature and worst it feels like Sam Alexander is being made into a tribute character to Jeph Loeb's son....which would be fine if Loeb had any ties to the Nova character at all prior to this. I'm giving the book a chance but my patience is wearing thin. |
Read the first five issues of battle of the atome and have one really big question...why cant deadpool be as funny in his own series like he is in here? :lol
|
You know, I never thought Avengers could be pretentious outside of philosophy books. I'm not even two issues in, and it's already reached that point. I'm still going to read it, though.
|
In comparison to the current issues the first two arcs of Hickmans Avengers is really really boring. When you get to the whole Infinity stuff this is where stuff really gets interesting even though its just event tie ins :lol

Yeah the only issues so far I really didnt care about were the ones that focused on Hyperion. I really dont get this guy to me he comes off as an even less intresting version of the Sentry.
|
So... OctoPeter restored Peter's mind ghost when he tried to access Peter's old memories.
Don't tear this hope away from me, Marvel. Just... don't. Quote:

I just had a thought.
DC vs. Marvel was an event that happened in the mainstream continuities of both DC and Marvel, correct? But the DC Universe rebooted, while the Marvel Universe did not. Because of this discrepancy, would that mean that DC vs. Marvel never happened, or that the timeline for that were altered to accommodate the New 52 versions of DC characters? |
Its pretty much how they always try to explain it...it happened but you have to imagine that some things were different.

That would actually be pretty neat. I always get a headache when I want to read things like 90s Spider-Man but "I have to imagine" that Peter and MJ arent married.
|
I'm still waiting for OctoPeter to end One More Day. At least then, he would be able to atone for his murdering of my childhood.
C'mon, Slott. We all want it. Do it... Please? |
I just hope the whole OctoPeter thing is done soon and Slott is taken off the book. I havent enjoyed his stuff after the conclusion of spider-island,
|
I was,and still am,an Ultimates universe fan.I just like the design and the feel of the characters.My one gripe has to be Spiderman.Loved the series,thought it was fantastic,till they killed Peter.No questions asked,just dead.

My only solace with that fact is that those issues featured the ghost of Peter Parker. He's a good writer (just ask Ends of the Earth!). He just takes to much zeal in crushing childhoods. Quote:

Iron Man was a fun read, even if completely out of canon. |
I stopped reading Ultimate after the whole united we stand stuff. X-Men and Ultimates just went downhill after that.

I dont really know to be honest. The whole event was all over the place and had no real structure. I was really confused while reading that thing.
|
The only comics I read from the Ultimate universe were Hulk vs. Wolverine, a few issues of Spider-Man, and Spider-Men.
|
I always called it ultimate civil war, didn't even knew it's title.
It was really weird. Quote:

Do you want to know who I think should be taken off of the staff of Spider-Man? Humberto Ramos. I'm pretty sure he's a nice guy, and he is a better artist than me (in the sense that he can draw fairly detailed scenes for 30-page comic books twice a month, every month). But I do not like his art. It's even worse when it's colored (especially with bright colors). |
I want stegman back on the book. Always liked his spider-man

I'm a big fan of the Ultimates.Thor's introduction was one of my favorite storylines,just how Loki made it so that everyone thought Thor was an impostor and just a normal human who stole some technology to fake being a God was just fantastic.They also made Cap look like a much tougher fighter.Even Hawkeye and Widow had their moments.
|
I must be honest I never likes the ultimate version of cap. I get that he is supposed to be more "realistic" I guess but I hated that he was just too rough around the edges. He never got that optimism across I admire about Steve Rogers.

Yeah and thats what bothered me cause Cap is my second favorite superhero next to superman :lol
