RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Has anyone seen the Marvel True Believers comics in shops? Or are they strictly an web exclusive? I ask because the look amazing value at 65p an issue that reprint classic Marvel stories including Spidey's debut in Amazing Fantasy #15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I'm still dipping in and out of the New 52 and haven't really touched Rebirth since the initial issue. How is it best read? Usually i'd be inclined to just read Batman and maybe pick up something else when I fancy a change. How's Rebirth best read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted July 12, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2017 What's the best Black Panther story to read to get me excited to see his film next year? Am I best of getting some kind of 'ultimate Black Panther' collection or has he got a classic storyline you can read start to finish in one book?

Somebody as riddled with completist OCD as I am is in no position to tell you really, as I just read as much as I could before I realised my approach was getting me nowhere and just fast-forwarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancidPunx Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 So i was a huge fan of M.A.S.K in the 80's. To my delight i heard that the comic books have been revived. Â I avoided all spoilers and purchased issue number 1. Â The main character (Matt Trakker) in the original cartoon was blonde, widowed and had a son. Â Now he is black !! Â I don't know what to think, its a bit of a head fuck as there is so much nostalgia but i just can't get over the fact that they have decided to make him Black.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 13, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 13, 2017 Well, I can see it being a bit of a shock if you were a big fan of the older books and you had how the character is "supposed" to look in your head, but you'll get used to it because it doesn't really matter, does it?

Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2017 Top Shelf have just announced a new League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen for Summer 2018, and it sounds like an absolute corker. Set in 2996, while released alongside black-and-white '60s style "Silver Stars" comics, and being advertised as both Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's final comic book, a love letter to the medium, and an exploration of the possibilities offered by comic books, and their reasons for retiring, as well as tying up all the loose ends from the main League series, the Nemo spin-offs, and the Black Dossier. It's probably my favourite comic series of all time, and I'm a big Alan Moore fan, so I'm really bloody excited by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2017 Wasn't sure where to put this, but has anyone checked out that Castlevania animated show on Netflix? I wasn't going to bother but I heard it was written by Warren Ellis so it's probably worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2017 It's alright. Only about four episodes long, and oddly paced. A little more violent and "adult" than I expected, and seems to end just as the story's getting started. I'm assuming more is coming, because it all feels like a precursor to a proper series.

Merzbow Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) It was pretty much "We have next to no money, let's make this short and just pray they offer us something more concrete", they went into it knowing there was a chance we'd be left with a story just starting and nothing more. Luckily they were given a second season the day of release. But yeah, it's not bad and there seems to be some influence from Berserk (the comic and 90's cartoon, not the new CGI shitshow) which would help explain why it's so violent and bloody.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted October 9, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2017 So DC have announced a crossover with their universe and... Watchmen. Surely this is the worst idea in the history of space and time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
