For Comic Book Fans

I'm upset that there hasn't been a huge storm of criminal activity from the villains I know many are working for the T-bolts but still And I wonder what magneto is doing all this time. As well as Quicksilver hes supposed to have a new one after the war as well

[24labor]

You see the only reason I think they need the real thor to come back is b/c everyone thinks Sentry is a rip of of him many people don't like Bob too much I mean he is actaully a Marvel version of superman which is lame as well

[24labor]

I can't beleive I haven't read much of Annihilation wave I need a trade of that soon as well

[Flagg]

Storm and Black Panther have always had a long history together having grown up together and in the Earth X series they actually were married and T'Challa was an actual Black Panther.

As for that Anihilation series...i'd wish they'd let the likes of Galactus and Thanos just lay low for a few years instead of using them all the time. As it is Galactus is just a jobber that loses to everyone and everything which is stupid.

I hope everyone is reading The Punisher MAX: Man of Stone.

I'm a big time Spawn fan..

whats your overall take on the war and tie ins? Personally they started out well and then the ties kida faded from what I expected I mean they had involvement to the war but it would have been better if they were more directly related to the main story. I think they could have done a much better job with this it's good but it could have been better

I really don't like the war much at all. I am reading it cause all of the titles I colllect are written into it.

[Carlos_E]

Magneto lost his powers remember? Read Inhumans and X-Factor to know what Quicksilver is doing. He stole the crystals that create the Terrigen mist and is using them to reactivate mutants powers. The problem is when they get them back they're not the same as they were before. They're too powerful and can't control them and end up going insane or killing themselves. Shield got some of the crystals that create the mist and will not return them to the Inhumans. The Inhumans consider it an act of War. So a new storyline coming up is the Inhumans going to war with humanity. Should be good.

Man you missed out. Annihilation is great. Way better than Civil War.

Yea I read the son of M and all but I thought if any time to somehow bring magneto back now would be good Yea the war should be good

Is the new Thor the clone? Or the dude with the Axe?

The thor who killed Goliath is the clone. But way back in April when FF were battling doom for the hammer another blonde haired dude picked up the hammer and left. I 99% sure it's not the clone b/c in CW #4 you see them working on the clone and his hammer which all have wires comming out of thme and the real hammer is still somewhere out there. As for the guy with the axe not sure I mean unless the hammer changes into an axe I doubt it and I don't think thor will be too happy with Stark (who I thought was gonna take over for Maria Hill and S.H.E.I.L.D) who cloned his ass without permission

[24labor]

I collect both of them Moon Knight and Blade.

Good stuff as well as Winter Solider and of course the 2 I mentioned (Inititive and War Crimes)

[24labor]

Hey carlos do you read Daredevil at all if so when is hes expected arrival back to the US I'm assuming after the war but even so hell have to go through all of this chaos on his own

[wascaptain5214]

[Carlos_E]

I read mine then I bag and box them. I box them up to save space. Right now I have comics and boxes all over my bed room. I have to find a places to store them.

[Flagg]

Hmm, so if Magneto has lost his powers (again), there is no more Nate Gray and Franklin Richards lost his powers resurecting Galactus and Apocalypse is a captive of the Celestials, who is the most powerful mutant on earth now?

I hope they give Magnus his powers back, he is hands down one of the most interesting characters in marvel history. Tragic characters always intrigue me the most.

Yea it looks like it might be a good series I'll prolly continue to buy it. I'm real interested in the O ME GA flight with US Agent and I beleive Beta Ray Bill thatll be sweet

Yo Carlos the new line up for the Avengers is as followed:
Ares, Olympian God of War turned anti-hero;
Black Widow, a former spy with her own share of pain;
Iron Man, the original armored Avenger and founding member of the Avengers;
Ms. Marvel, a former super-agent now trying to do her best to become a great super-hero;
Wasp, a founding member of the Avengers able to shrink herself and grow "wasp" wings on her back;
Wonder Man, a former villain now turned super-hero and movie actor
The Sentry, golden guardian of good

The only problem is Bendis from what I hear says that Ironman and Ms. Marvel will be co-captains which if we know Tony Stark that won't fly I think someone else will be under the IM suit personally

I like Ares. He is cool. I picked up his mini that came out this year. I did not like Iron Man as a character before the civil war. Now after, I like him even less. I won't buy it just because he's on the team. Will the New Avengers team continue as a group but under a different name?

I dunno from what Ive heard everyones pissed b/c they had a good thing going with the New Avengers and then the war kicks in and they are done. I doubt they'll be together again and as for this Mighty Avengers crap I'm with you I dont think ill buy it. I like the line up they had before the war.

[italianplayboy09]

god i used to be all into marvel comics, x-men spider-man and the avengers but i havent been up to date with it in years now. you guys talking about this is a totaly new thing to me...whats happened with the civil war and what started it, if its not too long to describe.

[Carlos_E]

Labor will do a better job explaining it than me. The New Warriors a team of B-list heroes fight a group of villains including Nitro and Nitro blows himself up. The fight was in a residential neighborhood right next to an elementary school an 100s of the kids die when Nitro explodes. So there is a backlash against heroes and the government decides that all heros/vigilanties have to register giving real name and secret identity and be monitored by the government. If you refused to register you're automatically arrested and incarcerated with no trial. Iron Man is for registration and Captain America is against it. Since Captain America refused to register Shield attacks and tries to arrest him. Captain America goes underground and starts a registration resistance movement made up of other heroes on the run from the government. Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic 4 is for registration, his wife Sue the Invisible woman is against it. She ends up leaving him because of it.

There is A LOT more going on. Labor can you give him more details?

[24labor]

No probem Carlos

You see things started to get real bad for Heros when the Avengers decided to officially call it quits because of the Scarlet witch and her reality altering powers. She cause all kinds of hell in one day causeing the deaths of Ant-Man, Hawkeye and Vision. Around that time even Thor died or as Asguardians call it a "nap". Shortly after this the House of M took place where b/c of Scarlet Witch and her brothers, Quicksilver influence changed the entire worlds reality causing eveyone to have diffrent lives some heros were villians some had kids and were married and so on. (the story behind this was the Avengers didn't know what to do with Scarletts powers she was unableto control them so they were torn between killing her or facing the consequences of her powers) Any way the final story in the house of M show Scarlet change reality once again only everything went back to the way it once was, but with one big diffrence only about 200 mutants existed, she changed reality so mutants for the most part wouln't have their powers The main mutants like the X-men kept their powers except a few most notably Prof. X and the other big name was Magneto. Quicksilver also lost his powers but thats a whole other story the main thing is almost all mutants especially the no namersllost their powers.(a lot of people you might know lost their powers but most of the popular ones like Wolverine, Cyclops ect. kept theirs)

Fast forward a little bit to the Hulk's rampage in Las Vegas leaving some people dead and injured. This led to the meeting of the secret team known as the Illuminati,a group of the "smartest" heros or leaders(Professor X, Reed Richards, Iron man, Namor, Black Bolt) Decided they were going to call the shots for major events that happen like such. From that meeting ironman knew that the time of masked heros taking on evil by themselves was almost at an end and tried to push the registration idea on the group where this torn them apart. Oh and they tricked Hulk into space and sent him to another planet which hes supposed to come back sson real pissed in a series call World War Hulk so stay tuned.

Now move to the New Warriors, a group of heros that run a reality TV show trying to get better ratings try and tacle a few villians on the wanted list, but things backfire when Nitro explodes himself(that is his powers BTW) killing around 600 people. All of the NW dies except speedball. Now the Gov. put together a new law...Registration Act. All heros/vigalanties must ID themselves to the Gov and begin to work for them. As yuo can imagine the hero world is split with this descion some think its good some dont.

Ironman and the Fantasic 4 and spierman (who unmasked himself to the world)along with other heros and S.H.E.I.L.D try to uphold the law but capturing anyone who won't register and placing them in the Negative Zone(heros jail) Cap. America leds the Resistance with a collection of Anti-Registration heros as well leadingto battles here and there and secret meetings and such. It's just like a underground resistence against huge armies like communism and such which is the comparison I'm picking up. Anyway scince the hero community is split many heros need to decide which side they will be on or how long they want to be on one side.

Heres whats going down with the main heroes: X-men since the Gov already knows who they are and as of now they are caring for the 198(the group of mutants still left on earth a mini series in itself) the X-men said they would not take part in the war, but when the 198 decided to leave they became outlaws so they were being hunted and the X-men decided to protect their own ,kind so they inadvertly got involved by trying to say the 198 which they did and to be honest I couldn't tell you what their role is now b/c they haven't had a comic tied to the war in over a month so either they went back to the mansion with the 198 and were told not to leave or they all were arrested hopefully well find out soon.

Fantasic 4- The Thing decides to leave the country after seeing his freinds fight each other he dosen't want to be a part of this. Sue Richards leaves reed along with The Human Tourch and joins the resistance. Reed is now wondering if he is doing the right thing or not...TBC

Spiderman- He put his loyalty in Ironman and unmasked himself on TV while IM assured him nothing bad would come of this. Well right away every villian spidys had came after him or his family making Peters judgment of the SHRA(super human registraion act) and finally when he see what is going on in the negative zone(people held without trial and locked away in cages) he decides to switch sides.

There are many other people involved like Black panther, cable, punisher, moonknight, Blade and others but thats a recap on whats going down for the most part and the main heroes I mean they are many other ties ins like the Young avengers, Ms. Marve and so on but mainly this is why the SHRA is around and whos battling who. Some people have dies (Bantam and Golaith mainly) and other events have opened a few eyes Ironman and Reed cloned Thor and made him into a cyborg which I can only imagine will piss off the real Thor who is supposed to come back some time. Any other question just ask

[italianplayboy09]

wow thats crazy, thanks for the summary. i dont understand why reed richards and especially prof x are for the SHRA. do you know of when world war hulk is coming out? were there any big named people who sent him into space?

[24labor]

well reed is for it b/c he knows as long as heros go unmasked people will fear heros especially what happened with the New Warriors. Prof. X I'm not sure if hes for or against the Act him and some of the X-men are in space helping the Shi-ri (I think thats how you spell it) You remember Pro. X's woman lilandra anyway him and his crew might not even know whats happening on earth right now. As for the Hulk the series is slated for some time after the war my guess is March and the ones who sent him away were Prof. X, Ironman, Reed and Black Bolt. Namor was aginst the idea b/c he and the Hulk are buddies

Moon Knight is bloody as hell. More gore than punisher. But it's good.

[Carlos_E]

I can't beleive you and I are like the only avid comic readers here with so many members its weird

I'm surprised by that as well. They don't know what they're missing.

[Flagg]

I still read The Punisher religously

[Flagg]

And being "avid readers", surely you can name the character in my Avy

[24labor]

I still read The Punisher religously

good man

[Carlos_E]

Do you read Authority? What do you think of the Wildstorm relaunch?

Authority is one of my favorites for obvious reasons. I think it's bad ass they have a gay couple at their power levels. A gay version of superman and batman. I like the way Midnighter puts his fist through people's skulls and Apollo burns their heads off with his eye beams.

[Carlos_E]

And being "avid readers", surely you can name the character in my Avy

LOBO!

[24labor]

I'm surprised by that as well. They don't know what they're missing.

well I'll shot the bress comicly with you any time my friend. You read anything from DC
