lTS THE NERD RAGE THREAD ABOUT COMIC BOOKS

[rawb]

HEY GUYS IN THIS THREAD YOU CAN GET MAD ABOUT COMIC BOOKS AND OTHER NERDY THINGS, AND PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU STILL




GUYS WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH SPIDER MAN EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THE BOOK SOMETHING COMPLETELY FUCKED UP HAPPENS

CLONE SAGA WAS BULLSHIT
THE SPIDER BIRTH SHIT WAS BULLSHIT
AND NOW THERE IS THIS NEW "ONE MORE DAY" STORYLINE THAT IS COMPLETE BONERTOWN, COMPLETELY RETCONS SPIDER MAN BEING MARRIED TO MARY JANE, INVOLVES THE DEVIL, AND KEEPS AUNT MAY ALIVE FOR HOWEVER MANY MORE YEARS



OH YA PS HARRY OSBOURNE IS BACK LOL

DOESN'T MARVEL HAVE AN "ULTIMATES" LINE FOR WHEN THEY WANT TO DO STUPID STUFF TO REBOOT THEIR CHARACTERS UGH GOD o


















PS: REALLY GOOD THREAD W/ WRITER INTERVIEWS ABOUT HOW LAME ONE MORE DAY IS (WRITER ASKED HIS NAME TO BE LEFT OFF THE LAST 2 ISSUES LOL)

ONE MORE (MORE) DAY? JMS EXPLAINS HIS ENDING - NEWSARAMA

[tiedye]

I REALLY DON'T THINK JEAN GREY AND SCOTT SUMMERS WOULD HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO THE MOST POWERFUL MUTANT ON THE PLANET. I MEAN, THE PHOENIX IS ONE THING, BUT CYCLOPS WAS PRETTY LIMITED IN POWERS. IF ANYTHING, WOULDN'T HE DRAG THAT KID DOWN THE LADDER A FEW STEPS? THAT BEING SAID, IF I WERE MARRIED TO CYCLOPS, I'D BE TELLING HIM IT WAS HIS KID TOO. THAT'S ONE EVIL EYE I NEVER WANT TO GET.l

X-Man was a pretty good series though.

LESS SAD, MORE RAGE. DOESN'T THE LACK OF DC SO FAR MAKE YOU ANGRY? "YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY!"l

[ebbomega]

LACK OF DC ONLY MAKES ME ANGRY IF BATMAN IS IGNORED. FRANKLY THE REST OF THE FRANCHISE CAN BURN IN HELLl

BIGGEST NERD RAGE OF ALL TIME WAS WHEN YOU FIND OUT, THAT AT THE END OF IT ALL, JEAN GREYS ULTIMATE SACRIFICE (THROWING SELF INTO THE SUN AS THE PHOENIX) HAS BEEN COMPLETELY PISSED ON OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HOW MANY TIMES HAS PHOENIX COME BACK? I MEAN I REALIZE THAT BY ITS NAME ITS NOT MEANT TO DIE BUT SERIOUSLY. AND MADELYNE PRYOR, WHAT?

ALSO WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE SUMMERS FAMILY, I MEAN EVERY TIME THERE IS A NEW CHARACTER NOW IN AN X BOOK THAT IS MYSTERIOUS AND POWERFUL I JUST ASSUME ITS RELATED TO CYCLOPS. TALK ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL. IMAGINE THE X BOOKS IF 'CLOPS USED A RUBY QUARTZ CONDOM ONCE IN A WHILE.

GROWING UP I WAS NEVER INTO DC AS MUCH, BUT RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE THEIR SHIT IN ORDER (I MEAN HOW MANY CRISIS-LIKE STORYLINES DO THEY NEED TO FIX THEIR TIMELINE LOL) AND ARE THE LEADERS RIGHT NOW. I HAVENT HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT YET BUT THE SINESTRO CORPS SAGA WAS APARENTLY THE SERIES OF THE YEAR. LAST TIME I READ GREEN LANTERN HAL HAD GONE CRAZY.

IT'S NOT HIS KID. CYCLOPS' POWERS CAN BE CONTROLLED BY SHUTTING HIS EYES, YET THIS KID IS GOING BLOW THE FUCKING UNIVERSE UP? JEAN GREY'S BEEN GETTING AROUND, WHICH IS FINE BY ME. I'D HIT IT.o

[rawb]

NO I MEAN THE GUY HAS FATHERED CABLE AND RACHEL SUMMERS (WHO IS HOLY-SHIT POWERFUL IN HER OWN RIGHT). ALSO, HIS BROTHER IS HAVOK (WHO SUCKS BUT WHATEVER).

FUCK DUDE HAS SUCH A DAD COMPLEX FROM BEING AN ORPHAN THAT HE WENT INTO THE FUTURE FOR 12 YEARS JUST TO RAISE HIS SON.

AN ALL-SUMMERS TEAM WOULD EASILY RIVAL ANY X TEAM THAT HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER. o

[rawb]

ALSO HIS DAD LEADS THE STARJAMMERS WHICH IS KINDA WEIRD (LOL MY DAD IS A SPACESHIP CAPTAIN, THATS WHY HE LEFT ME IN THE CREEPY GENETIC ORPHANAGE) o

[rawb]

ALSO FUCKED 2 PEOPLE WITH THE PHEONIX FORCE INSIDE OF THEM, THATS ONE STEP DOWN FROM GIVING GOD A FACIAL o

[tiedye]

POINT TAKENl

[tiedye]

CYCLOPS IS A BIT OF A MANWHOREl

SORRY, I GAVE YOU KARMA FOR BIGUPS BATMAN BECAUSE HE IS BASICALLY THE BEST OF ALL TIME. NOBODY BEATS BATMAN EVER.

I DON'T AGREE WITH THE 2ND PART OF YOUR STATEMENT BECAUSE THE REST OF THE FRANCHISE IS PRETTY AWESOME. YOU CAN'T DISS JUSTICE LEAGUE (and let's forget 'unlimited' ever happened) UNLESS YOU'VE GOT A SERIOUS HARD ON FOR SUPERMAN BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY MADE HIM SEEM LIKE A BOYSCOUT BITCH IN THE SERIES. IF YOU NEED, YOU CAN BORROW MY DVDS AND SEE WHAT AN EPIC THREE PART BATTLE BETWEEN THENEGARIANS (SP) AND THE MF JUSTICE LEAGUE IS LIKE. I ALMOST SHED A SINGLE TEAR FOR THE POOR GL WHEN HE FOUND OUT THE CHICK HE WAS BANGING WAS REALLY A SPY WHO WANTED TO BLOW UP PLANET EARTH FOR A SUPER HIGHWAY.


OH AND LET'S FACE IT, DC HAS SOME OF THE BEST VILLIANS HANDS DOWN. JUST TRY, BUT YOU CAN'T.

[tiedye]

SUPERMAN WAS KIND OF A BOYSCOUT BITCH THOUGH. JUST SAYIN'o

[NinjaBoy]

HOW MANY X TITLES DO WE NEED? (It's God Damn Annoying...)

[hardstylin]

image comics ftw.

marvel and dc are for 40+ year old comic nerds.

IMAGE WAS COO' a LONG TIME AGO, NOW, NOT SO MUCH.

"I WONDER HOW MANY SHITTY LISCENCES WE CAN TURN INTO CRAPPY MANGA STYLE COMICS..."

[tiedye]

MY CASE FOR WHY MARVEL VILLAINS ARE BETTER THAN DC'S:

OMEGA RED: BADASS EVEN WITH A VODKA HANGOVER


BLACKHEART: HE HATED RAPISTS, BUT KILLED THEIR VICTIMS TOO. (ALSO MEPHISTO'S SON)


THE BROTHERS GRIMM: VOODOO CHILDREN


CARNAGE: 'NUFF SAID


DR DOOM: POSSIBLY THE GREATEST MANIACAL GENIOUS KNOWN IN COMICDOM... ALSO ONE OF MY FAVOURITE TROLLERS ON FNK (RIP?)


ONSLAUGHT: XAVIER + MAGNETO = COME ON! LOOK AT THIS GUY! (THE MATHEMATICAL PROOF IS THERE)

[rawb]

IMAGE IDEA IS AWESOME (CREATORS OWN THEIR WORK, YOU CAN START YOUR OWN LABEL AND THEY WILL DISTRIBUTE IT FOR A % OF THE PUBLISHING, GLOSSY PAGES ON EVERY BOOK, THE START OF ADVANCED COMPUTER COLOURING) BUT IN THE 90S THERE WAS TOO MUCH OF THE JIM LEE/ROB LIEFELD 'LOOK'.

WHAT IS UP WITH ROB LIEFELD AND POUCHES?

I MEAN LOOK AT ANY CHARACTER OR TEAM HE HAS CREATED AND THERE ARE POUCHES FUCKING EVERYWHERE, ARM POUCHES, LEG POUCHES, UTILITY BELT. CABLE WAS A LIEFELD CREATION AND HIS MUTANT POWER IS APPARENTLY BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF POUCHES ONE MAN CAN HAVE.




THAT BEING SAID I HAVE STORMWATCH AND YOUNGBLOOD COMICS IN MY COLLECTION, AS WELL AS CABLE #1 AND X-FORCE #1 (STILL IN BAG) SO I OBVIOUSLY LIKED IT AND IM LAME




ALSO! LIEFELD DRINKING GAME:

"Rob Liefeld drinking game"

Rules:

Read any comic both drawn and written by Rob Liefeld (X-Force, Youngblood, Brigade, etc.)

Take 1 drink for every time the following occur:

* clenched teeth
* mouth open really wide in battle cry
* action shot where background is just abstract colored space
* leg of running/jumping character positioned so that you can only see thigh
* spray of bullets that doesn't hit anybody
* large gun that shoots colored blasts of indeterminate nature
* character or team moves into/out of another dimension or otherwise warps
* character seeming to fly, who cannot actually fly
* character who is not invulnerable casually jumps out of plane/space ship
* indoor floor that is colored green, silver or red

Bonus round: when a new "team" of enemies or allies is introduced, take 1 drink for each correctly-predicted member:

* exactly one big guy
* exactly one woman
* exactly one flying guy
* exactly one character with black and white face makeup
* exactly one robot (robotic nature may not be immediately obvious)
* exactly one black guy with gun and no discernable powers
* white male leader, regular size, with gun and no discernable powers
* In addition, 1 drink must be taken for every team member who wears segmented metallic rings around their arm-shoulder joints.

The maximum number of drinks for a new team appearance, 14, has been documented (during a reading/drinking of Brigade #2). The successful completion of any Rob Liefeld issue under these rules, however, has never been recorded.

[rawb]

THINGS DC HAS DONE REALLY REALLY RIGHT:

VERTIGO LABEL
OLD CHARACTERS IN MODERN TIMES (GREEN ARROW, ETC. OTHER IMPRINTS WOULD SIMPLY JUST RETIRE THEM)
TEAM BOOKS ARE USUALLY BETTER
LARGE CROSSOVERS MORE COHERENT

THINGS THAT DAMAGED DC:
3 OR 4 CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS-LIKE TIMELIME REBOOTS NOW
KILLING SUPERMAN AND BREAKING BATMANS BACK AND MAKING HAL JORDAN GO CRAZY, KILL EVERY GREEN LANTERN, AND DIE ALL WITHIN 18 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. TOO MUCH "LOL FUCK EVERYTHING!" IN THAT TIME. THATS WHAT MAD EME LEAVE DC UNTIL RECENTLY
ROBIN CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD LOL WTF o

[wishbone]

CANT EVER READ COMIC BOOKS AGAIN

CAN'T HANDLE THAT SORT OF THING EVER AGAIN.
