The Comic Book Discussion Thread

TheSymbiote · 04-15-2010, 08:51 AM

For all things comic books,post here your thoughts about new series, old series,series you wish they'd make.post your hypothetical questions like who would win Mr.Fantastic or Plastic man.anything about comics.

Did anyone get the Flash ring that came with Flash #1?
i got it and i like it better than all the lantern rings,because its thinner so its more wearable.

Invincible Iron Man #25 I just don't like where they are taking Ironman. Ironman is my favorite superhero. Mostly because of the High Tech Suits. There isn't even a Hall of Armor anymore. He blew up or trashed all his old suits. I really hope they make Tony Stark normal again, so I can enjoy reading the comics again. I'm tired of the writers turning him into some sort of a super-powered cyborg.

Ralph Dibny > Plastic Man > Mr. Fantastic

TheSymbiote · 05-02-2010, 01:47 PM

are you saying that ralph is better than mr fantastic

nakobass · 05-02-2010, 01:48 PM

Rhodey got a new clone body. Even when he was a cyborg, his suit was still separate. I'm just going to stick with the Ultimate Universe for a while. The Main Universe is just to confusing. I do like Pepper Potts new suit the Rescue. Hope we get a Marvel legends of her. Or Bethany Gabe, she's wearing a female version of the War Machine armor. I think.

eh well ive never seen dibny in the comics other then when he was a black lantern,is he smarter?

scarecrow · 05-02-2010, 02:44 PM

Dibny is like third smartest Detective(I think someone may have mentioned it somewhere in DCU) in DCU, and is just generally a neat character. He lacks the douchiness of Reed and the retardedness of Plastic Man.

Identity Crisis is a great, albeit really sad story highlighting a portion of Elongated Man's life, as well as 52 which spotlights him again.

Batman also fits that criteria.

ToyArk really needs a seperate subforum for just Comic threads. (Maybe even 3: Marvel, DC, & Other...)

Well, we are a toy only site, but feel free to start threads in General Discussion for now

Excelsior07 · 05-05-2010, 05:41 PM

Yea, I know, but there's an uber-large comic book fan-base here, especially with all these Marvel/DC toys. GI Joe and Transformers also have comics. I personally think it would just be natural to have a subforum under "Off Topic" for Comic Discussion. Maybe it's just me, lol.

If we added a subforum then it would welcome a really general audience to the forums, which means more trolls.

I like that we only deal with about two trolls on an infrequent basis

Excelsior07 · 05-05-2010, 07:59 PM

Point taken...so who's excited about Secret Avengers?! LOL

It's been planned for eventually.

I disagree, I think Batman is just brutally honest, while Reed comes off as a douche. Superman is the boy scout, while Batman is the brutally honest, average guy with no super powers but is the master detective.

I don't know, I think Reed is a douche but he's a realistic douche. He's balancing family, talent and responsibility and I wouldn't expect that without some compromises. Batman, on the other hand lives in an empty mansion, works in an empty cave and only works with people he trained himself. He's obsessed with his "mission" and doesn't have much of a life.

I guess what I'm saying is that all comic book characters are douches, each in their own way.

TheSymbiote · 05-07-2010, 02:56 PM

New Rescue Armor!

Too true.

And I really like the Rescue armor. It's one of the nicer ideas that they've come out with in the last few years. It's time Pepper got her real due.

Excelsior07 · 05-07-2010, 07:27 PM

Yea, Pepper kicks ass even without the suit, lol. But with the suit...hooo boy. Where is that panel from, btw? Invincible Iron Man?

Snowflakian · 05-08-2010, 01:57 AM

Rescue needs a figure badly. And I wish marvel would explore the possibilities of female armored heroes in more varied styles.

There are many aesthetics that could create limitless potential for stories and action. Especially if hailed from the BGC school of designs and precision instead of flight. I love rescue's design and all as a female iron man, but that's my problem with the design too, it's too Iron Woman. I'm still glad she's around though, hopefully it'll trickle over so we'll see Crimson Dynama, Titanium Gal, or even a female darkhawk armor or stingray. Heh, Stilt Woman.
