Not that part, though, as it wasn't one of the big fights. Superman's voted on fight was against the Hulk.

It was barely a full page where Juggs was fighting the X-Men but was suddenly transported to the DC universe where his punch landed on the side of the Daily Planet instead. So in the next panel a confused Cain soon found his helmet caved in by one punch from the Man of Steel.

As it is, it's unlikely that Juggernaut would have an edge over Superman because of magic, since Juggernaut's powers don't really work that way. He gets super strength from a magic power but then after that his punches seem to be all physical strength with no added magical energy. And on top of that, they tend to be slow punches, which means he'd likely never land a hit on Supes in the first place given Clark's super speed (having magic alone isn't good enough if you can't hit your target in the first place).

Still looks large to me, although it would probably look better on the beefier Spider-Woman/Miss Marvel body. The face looks too wide, and when coupled with the smaller upper torso, and the skinnier legs, gives her the appearance of a nord supermodel as opposed to the motherly Sue we've grown to love over the last 50 years.

On the other hand, I will be buying more than one of these. The headsculpt is still really nice and this Sue has great fodder possibility. She has a regular gripping hand of all things! (Perfect for a certain Psylocke restoration project of mine...)

Everything feels so stagnant in my stores lol Hard to find Marvel anything to be honest.

It looks a little large, but nothing that will bother me to be honest. I suppose it comes down to personal preference. I am very much looking forward to getting her. Fingers crossed for the rest of the Fantastic Four.

I did forget that. I understand now why Nite referred to "favoritism"... Fans don't get power sets? Sheesh! lol

That's right! I forgot that was a page 1 scene, might have been in the voting/preview of the marvel vs DC book. I need to read those again they were very cool.

[Dr Kain]

I finished Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Volume 1 last night and overall it was... amazing.

The stories were well written and a blast to look at. My favorite panel in the book is probably the one towards the end in the return of the Molten Man issue where Spidey is in MM's room with the lights out. The way that panel is drawn and colored is so bad ass. Nevertheless, there was a lot of great artwork to be found here and it was interesting to finally read the issue with the infamous flooding scene. That was kind of cool how the panels kept getting bigger and bigger as the struggle progressed. I'm not sure which story I would say is my favorite though, as there are a lot ot choose from. It would probably be a toss up between the Annual that introduces the Sinister Six, the "Master Planner" trilogy (as they called it in the essays), and the 3 parter where Peter gave up being Spider-Man for the first time Aunt May was sick (17-19 I believe).

Another thing I love is how the identity of Green Goblin has yet to be revealed and that Norman was not even introduced officially until like issue 37 despite seeing him at Jameson's country club. I wonder if Stan Lee thought of Norman beforehand or if he just decided to make him GG on the fly. Either way, it was cleverly done.

The only issues I didn't really enjoy were the one with Mysterio pretending to be a psychologist and the one with a guy who gets his powers frm a meteor. Not only that, but he called himself The Looter.

It's kind of sad that Ditko is gone from this point, but that's okay because Romita was a great successor (and my favorite Spider-Man artist from the issues I read years ago), so I'm looking forward to this. Getting to read this many issues in order is so enjoyable.

Yeah, my local Target has 4 Speedsters, 3 Beetles, a Phoenix, 3 Cables, and 2 Havoks on their pegs. Someone finally bought the clearanced Mockingbird, Enchantress, Astral Strange, and the Iron Man 2 packs.

[frodotrout]

i've been to three local walgreens, a walmart and target looking for something new, all three walgreens have their exclusives, nothing new, was hoping to find green goblin, walmart is resetting the isle so they had jack and all target had was a couple of x-men figs, still looking for that elusive deadpool, gotta keep swinging away

[Captain Nash]

I've learned to chill out on the Walgreens. Within 2 months the new figures will be abundant, we just have to wait and the goodies will come. Of course, it all depends on your wants, some figures I wouldn't want to wait on either. So far the only one I've ordered online has been Namor because his shiny male review outfit was the bomb.

[Boy Blunder]

Had an excellent birthday dinner last night with my wife and a few friends, and came away with a pretty swell batch of gifts for an aging nerd like myself.



Clockwise from top left: ML Ultimate Beetle, Supergods by Grant Morrison, ML Boomerang, Action Toys Machine Robo 03 "Eagle Robo" (AKA Leader-1), Fallout 4 w/ Season Pass, and Action Toys Machine Robo 01 "Bike Robo" (AKA Cy-Kill).

[Captain Nash]

Great score BB! Happy belated Birthday!!

[redx24]

Getting extra dorrmammu arms and was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to set them in a dio to look as if their coming out the ground or maybe a all fighting multiple heroes

[Augustus_Cole]

@BB

I just wait of game of the year/ ultimate editions. Dropping money for these season pass things or buying dlc just encourages these developers to put oyt incomplete games at full price then charge x amount of money tor rlc etc on top of it. I miss the days were a game would have to be finished before being released.

[Harbinger]

Note of sadness, Miguel Ferrer, most notable from ncis la as Owen Granger, succumbed to cancer at age 61. Rest in piece Mr. Ferrer.

Normally, so do I, but given that there's a lot of inconsistent talk of further DLC for FO4, a GOTY edition might not be out until the end of this year. Glad I don't have to wait that long to play it.

And it depends on the company/game, especially since DLC can be worked on by devoted teams outside of the primary game scenario team while they're finishing the main game. But it's true, there's a number of companies that use DLC as an excuse, rather than as additional content.

[Marvelfangirl]

Does anyone know where these photos are coming from? I've seen three different people post these a couple days apart. And can't seem to find any of these like official pics.

While I'll take any form of X-23 we can get, her current Wolverine costume has really grown on me. I'd love to get that one with an alt. mask-less head and possibly some extra clawed feet.

[Marvelfangirl]

[lordbest]

I really want ANAD Wolverine, but I'd take any costume at this point as well. I even looked at the ToyBix X-23, but it's just awful.
