Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted March 3, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Branquey you're great but Deadpool is awful, sorry. Just a 90s piece of crap. He's co created by Rob Liefeld, need I say more? Â I love that Punished Max run too, not sure on the cover artist who draws everything looking like photos though. Â *edit - Tim Bradstreet is the artist in question Edited March 3, 2015 by Call me Bellend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I much preferred the Ennis Punisher series before the MAX one. The MAX one had way too much murky-looking military bullshit, Ennis indulging his most boring fetish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted March 3, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2015 I love Deadpool, Bellers. He was one of my hero's through the noughties. I fucking hate Daniel Way's run and the Deadpool Max and Pulp series’ were abysmal. But I love the innocence of Nicieza’s run. It’s just wonderfully giddy. Missus got me a voucher for a tattoo parlour and I was actually thinking of getting the Deadpool logo beside the V For Vendetta tat. But it’d have to be pure black, coz I hate coloured tattoos, and then there’d be no point.  I can understand the hatred for the Punisher Max series given that it’s a complete overhaul of his previous incarnations, but it worked for me. I read Mother Russia on a plane to Ibiza and I absolutely fell in love with Ennis’ Max take.Born was also incredible (Sorry Pitcos, that would probably heighten your distain given the subject matter).

Retro Red Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Can any of you clued up guys give me a good current jumping on point Marvel wise? Preferably a trade paperback from recent few months? Cheers. Â It's a bad time to try and jump on tbh, they are about to go through a huge event this year which will end up rebooting/restarting a lot of the current continuity.

Paid Members chokeout Posted March 3, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2015 Deadpool as his own contained character is fun. Not a fan of him interacting with the rest of the universe though. Â Welcome Home Frank is a good starting point if you want to dip into Punisher. If you want to dive into the modern Marvel storylines then you're best bet is to just grab one of the big event crossovers. They pretty much do one per year and the TPB usually have enough background in the forward to clue you in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thicko Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Have done House of M, Civil War and Secret Invasion. Currently reading 2011 (I think) Avengers. First two featuring Ultron / Kang and Red Hulk. Was just trying to get a little nearer 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panhead Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Is anyone else reading Nameless? I wasn't too sure about issue 1 but issue 2 was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Dad Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Give Superior Spider-Man a run. It's finished now, and isn't too far off the current Spidey timeline, and it's fucking brilliant from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's finished now, and isn't too far off the current Spidey timeline, and it's fucking brilliant from start to finish. Â It really is. I haven't finished it yet (had to go in stops and starts because reasons), but really am enjoying the hell out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Superior Spider-Man is fantastic, I can only echo the love it's been getting. It also gets a nice reprieve in the recent Spiderverse event as well which is well worth checking out when it gets a collected release.

Panhead Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Really enjoyed this month's Thor. I can't wait to see who she is. Â Anyone reading Evil Empire? I was pretty sad to see it ended this month. Â Big Man Plans is another one that's worth reading. Only a four parter but the first two issues are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted April 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2015 I dont know if this is the best place to post this or not, but Dolph Lundgren tweeted this earlier.. Â Â Looks fantastic, right up my street. Â I'll be grabbing a copy of this when it comes out.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2015 He's starting to look like Hugh Dennis' geared-up brother there. Â Still, the guy's amazing - bad-ass polymath who's been in the Swedish special forces, holds various degrees in scientific discipline, speaks several languages AND stars in some of the most iconic films of all time? Awesome stuff. The fact that he almost single-handedly rescues Universal Soldier is a lifetime achievement in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
