Wait, that shit is out?Edit: A year and a friggin' half ago. Well fuck.
well now you know
Yeah, and it's not available in the Toronto library system. >_>
steal it
steal it through the internet
@Tie Ins: I wasn't sure whether to get them or not because all I ever heard about Civil War was that it was terrible from this one guy.
I'm probably not going to skip anything, Runaways and Batman-wise, as long as I can find it in-store and I have leftover money from weabooness enough money.
Civil War is horrible, but it had some non-horrible tie-ins. including the runaways
let us yay
yay
I'm now sort of curious as to why Civil War was horrible (Aside from the pro/anti-registration debate, which I heard was handled by turning Iron Man into a dictator or something.)
Basically it's very poorly structured in a make-it-up-as-you-go-along manner, clunkily written, and the ending is anticlimactic and doesn't make a lot of character sense.
There's also the fact that it started the trend in Marvel of events that were just glorified wrestling matches, like AvX.
World War Hulk was boss though.
That's pretty much the gist of it. Tony's exploits include making a clone of Thor completely lacking in morals who would kill Goliath and building a prison in the negative zone for supercriminals.
At the end of it, he's made SHIELD's director and is given a new Avengers team to assemble. The Mighty Avengers starts pretty badly, what with the Bendis and all, but once Dan Slott takes over, you're in for a treat.
It's also a highly inconsistent event. The writing starts pondering whose side is right and giving both sides really good points, but by the end of it, the pro-reg side looks like a bunch of nazis and actually wins, while the anti-reg side looks like people in dire need to move to Canada if they wish to remain happy (Probably Wolverine would be the host)
That sounds trainwreck-ey...
They still do events like though? How many reasons can you find to get a bunch of heroes to fight each other over and over?
Well, let's see:
Civil War: Superheroes fight over a law.
Secret Invasion: Superheroes who are actually shapeshifting aliens fight actual superheroes
Dark Reign: Superheroes fight superheroes who are actually supervillains in disguise.
Avengers Vs X-Men: the Phoenix comes back to earth and the Avengers are scared as fuck over it while the X-Men are claiming it'll be the salvation of the Mutant race. this is all bullshitastic because we've had Phoenix wielders before who have not gone as batshit insane as Jean Grey did during the original Phoenix saga.
Eh, it started out strong, but for the premise of Hulk beats everyone up it kinda dragged on. I mean seriously, Hulk losing his shit and smashing New York and beating up everybody isn't an event, that's like business as usual. As for other dumb events,
Avengers Dissembled: An Avenger goes crazy and starts killing her friends.
House of M: Reality gets rewritten for mutants to be in charge. It was a sloppy job though and it's all falling apart.
As bad or as weak or Siege and Fear Itself could be, they at least had heroes going up against some bad guys. Except for the bad guys pretending to be heroes in Siege. And the good guys who were turned into bad guys by evil magic hammers in Fear Itself.
I WANT A RECOMMENDATION AND I'M BORED
HIT ME HARDER AND FASTER THAN A TRUCK GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY
Oh, hey, I wasn't around for this. So recommend something, serfs, I command you to.
Anything?
Well...considering your taste for The Wire, I would suggest Gotham Central.
I didn't read the run of 616 Spider-Man you recommended. And I'd feel miserable reading I kill giants without buying it.
I can get you the links if that's what you wish. I have them on my computer. All I'd have to do is dropbox them so that you wouldn't have to go through Mediafire or whatever, you silly panamenian you
I'm sorry I don't follow, what links?
for the issues, dude, what else
Aaaaaaaaah
I think literally everything I could think of is something you've already read.
Juan: Have you read Walt Simonson's Thor or The Judas Coin yet?
Because if not you're suffering from a critical lack of Walt Simonson-ite.
I tried reading Simonson's Thor but
the truth is
i kinda don't like simonson's art
please
don't kill me
