HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I LAUGH OBNOXIOUSLY AND THEN EXPLAIN THE JOKE!!! THAT'S MY CHARACTER NOW!!! I AM NO LONGER FEARSOME AND BRUTAL, I AM JUST A COMIC RELIEF!!!
>>91918745
>implying you ever liked Drax before the movies
>>91918745
Most of the combat in the movie involved spaceships or pacman. He had nothing to fight outside of the first scene so rather than making him pointless they decided to make him comic relief.
>>91918785
And it worked. He was hilarious.
Crossovers that you can't believe actually happened
The classic.
At work and don't have the image of it, but Sonic and Sally meet Spawn. I think Maxx was in that shit too.

Hey, comic book people, I barely collect comic books, but I've heard that Garth Ennis' run of the Punisher is essential for any fan, but I don't know where to start.
I've seen these on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Punisher-Max-Complete-Collection-Vol/dp/1302900153/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493058151&sr=8-1&keywords=punisher+max
Is everything in these "Volumes"? I noticed there's a separate run called Welcome Back Frank which I know is important, but is that included in these volumes too, or should I get that too?
>>91814397
Complete collections should have everything, including the Born miniseries, but even if it doesn't, just start with issue #1 of Punisher Max and go. It is absolutely essential.
Welcome Back Frank was a Marvel Knights series, and it's fun, but it's not in the same continuity as Max.
Jason Aaron's PunisherMAX run is the direct sequel to Ennis's Run on Punisher Max, and is about as good, so I'd read the complete collections of the Ennis stuff, then go on to Aaron if you hunger for more.

Thanks, pretty pricey though, £90 altogether, good thing I'm getting paid tomorrow.

It's worth it, my man. One of the most fun comics I've ever read.
From the set of Infinity War, looks like Vision will have a human form.
Is it because he loses the infinity stone or is it because of some Scarlet Witch makeover magic? Maybe she's uncomfortable kissing his robo face at first.
>>91918511
>Is it because he loses the infinity stone or is it because of some Scarlet Witch makeover magic?
Neither. It's a rehearsal.
>>91918533
That's so crazy it just might work!

Just saw it and I absolutely liked it. Love how Gunn is keeping his promise of making the GOG movies feel like a separate series and not a vehicle for the next Avengers or MCU movie. Although I feel like they went full Quip Mode with this movie, I'm not mad in the slightest cause the first was exactly like that too. Of course there were some scenes that got borderline cringey but nothing too bad. Only thing I legitimately disliked was how they never used the second part of "The Chain" . Also, i found it funny how even through these movies are more comedic than the other ones, someone actually died here. Overall a fun movie on par with the first one.
>>91918354
I agree. The bad parts and overquipping don't surmount the great parts, specially because of the second half of the movie.
also liked the interaction of the characters with th song brandy, but not rocket putting music to play in the intro.
It definitely went overboard at some points (USE YOUR HEART PETER are you fucking serious), the quipping has a few really grating parts, and tiny Groot tried a bit too hard to be cute. Otherwise it was solid.
I'd complain about Ego being a dude most of the time but that's just not muh rather than judging the character in itself, so I'll abstain.
>>91918354
My favorite scene was the one where Mantis tried to get in on Drax's joy of reminiscing about his daughter only to start crying instead because nostalgia is a double-edged sword
Without comparing it to the reboot, what was wrong with it?
Be specific if you can, like the fact its Dr Doom was pathetic.
>>91812446
Sue and Reed were miscast. Doom didn't feel like a threat, though I didn't mind the actor. Chiklis was perfect for The Thing, but the makeup was laughable. The story was weak - no one's yet got the right 'family' feel out of the FF. Probably because they keep making them young and/or kids.
>>91812446
It was about a superhero team who happened to be a family and not a family that happened to be superheros.
Also it was set in the modern day.
Also I had to watch Reed Richards use his powers to dance in a nightclub.
>>91812537
That's the sequel
>>91812492
>Sue and Reed were miscast.
Can you elaborate? Didn't seem terribly off to me.
Leave Captain Hydra to me.
Can't you just go away Kid Arachnid? Nobody gives a shit about you.
>Black Spider-Man
Who thought this was a good idea?
>>91812161
So it was only a possible future, right?
That means there's a chance it won't go down that way, especially now that keikaku cap knows it's coming ands he can prepare for it.
Since season 4 is confirmed who will the newest big bad be to replace this guy?

The thinker, they already confirmed no Speedster big bad next season
>Gotta go back, back to the past
For some reason, this never stood right with me.
So, Jack was flung into the future and now seeks to return to the past and undo the future created by Aku and all the misery and suffering he brought on the world.
But he would also undo everything good that took place during that time. Not to mention, he would basically kill about 80% of the people who were born in that time period.
It's like the whole idea of going back to the past to undo 9/11. Sure, you would save everyone in that building and avoid a giant catastrophe, but everything that happens after that point in time is because of you. And there is no guaranty that the outcome of avoiding 9/11 would be a good one. Hell, the butterfly effect could lead to your own death, even.
Plus, "returning to the past" is pretty vague. Even if Jack returns to the moment Aku sent him to the future, his whole town and family is still dead. And he can't return to the point before Aku kills his father, cause that could cause paradoxes (young Jack seeing old Jack saving the day and having no reason to train to become old Jack to fight Aku).
Plus, I feel like it would send the wrong message. Instead of living in the present with all your mistakes and choices, trying to better yourself for a better future, instead "you can always take a magical portal back in time and fix all your mistakes".
Maybe I just got the whole idea wrong...
Am I the only one? What are your thoughts on this?
>>91917722
So if Aku had killed everyone else on the planet, Jack shouldn't have tried to go back either, because it could affect some of the aliens we saw?
Who cares you fucking autist
>>91917722
Jack's family was still alive when he fought aku for the first time.
even if there were some good things in the future, a world where aku doesn't turbofuck anyone at all is even better. he's still ruling everything. him not ruling at all is a better choice.
it'd be worse if Jack didn't find a way to get back to the past to save his family and people.
"gotta get back to the past" was never vague at all.

What are the recommended runs and books to read for Thor? I always liked the strange science fantasy shtick he's had, and I loved reading God of Thunder, so I want to know what are some other great runs.
>>91811864
Extremely essential runs
>Walt Simonson's Thor
>Robert Rodi's Thor especially Blood Brothers and For Asgard
>Thor: Heaven and Earth (bunch of short stories, a couple are bad but the good ones are godly)
Great stuff
>JMS Thor
>Kirby Thor
>Journey into Mystery
OK Thor
>Aaron
Garbage
>Fraction Thor
>>91812031
This is pretty good, Samnee Thor is super underrated
start with the Lee and Kirby stuff even the Tales of Asgard
Walt Simonson's run off course
Straczynski's
Dan Jurgens' arc is underrated
Aaron's God of Thunder you can skip Jane Foster as Whore
Thor: The Mighty Avenger is good
Garth Ennis did a mini series for MAX called Thor: Vikings
Michael Avon Oeming's Thor: Blood Oath and Avengers Dissembled: Thor
Marvel Knights had Thor: For Asgard
For non Thor but still related to then there's Journey into Mystery with Kid Loki that was marvelous and earlier Tom DeFalco did Journey into Mystery featuring the Lost Gods
>>91812031
Faction's one shot of Thor: Ages of Thunder wasn't that bad and the rest were pretty good
everything else I agree with
thoughts on this character?
whats his motivation?
>>91811843
Presumably he hates Rick and wants revenge on all Ricks for how badly they treat Mortys
but he also hates his fellow Mortys for loving their Ricks
What if Tammy was Evil Morty's creation? Evil Morty could be the puppet master behind everything.
>>91811843
Am I the only one who just thought he was a one-off character and nothing more? I didn't think he would appear again.
Did people really get angry over this? And how angry by today's outrage standards?
>>91917044
Same as new52. If books you liked were gone because of the event you were mad if you're book remained or got better like in the case of wonderwoman you were happy.
I blame this for all the convolution DC face now. Crisis on Infinite Earths was a mistake.
>>91917044
Its hard to compare because mass communication was so limited. Did people get angry? Yes. How can you tell? Because they published some angry letters. Then again, there is that Busiek letter complaining about the best X-Men run of all time, so you'll find complainers about anything.
Pre-Internet, there was no good way to judge the level of anger.
My sense at the time (I'm 45 so read this in my teens) from fellow comic readers was that it was nifty but sloppy. Stage this huge event that will have massive impact on nearly all their comics then not plan on how to deal with that impact, taking years to acknowledge the changes in some cases. Byrne's reboot effectively killed the LSH, one of their hottest properties at the time. No plan on what to do with characters like Power Girl and Huntress. What few edicts that editorial imposed (when they should've cracked down hard post-Crisis) were stepped around, like "no other kryptonians" but introduce a shapeshifter Supergirl.
DC floundered for a decade after, all that old continuity was a *strength* not a weakness.
