Comic book talk part II: Im pretty sure the answer is "I am Groot".

[EnriqueBrah]

Hmm, maybe but I don’t remember the timeline. A4 has been filming since August. I could see it being a post credit scene though.

post credit scenes would be such a ball teaser, either way if these rumors are true, it changes everything

[ohiostate124]

Man, I really don’t know how I feel about the X-men at this point. I have complete faith in a Feige but I really don’t want them to completely take over the MCU. Imo, there should be no solo films for X-men characters. It should just be a team film every 2-3 years with a relatively small team like the animated series guys. That said, I’d actually prefer if the X-men were in their own separate universe. I don’t think the MCU needs them.

Fantastic Four on the other hand, is the last piece the MCU really needs imo. Galactus and Kang could both be multi-phase villains. Doctor Doom could be a phase. Annihilus would be a great villain for the Guardians/Nova. I would kill to see Richard Rider rip Annihilus’ guts out through his mouth like the comics.

Deadpool is interesting too. I really don’t see Disney allowing R-rated movies in the MCU proper. He will probably stay in his own little corner.

[JPeeper]

If the deal goes through I can only imagine Dr. Doom or Galactus being integrated into the MCU immediately, like within 2-3 years.

The Avengers 4 post credit scene is going to be fire though, no matter what.

Tom King may be very divisive but I’m enjoying the fallout from the Catwoman engagement.

Today’s issue is Superman’s reaction and Bruce and Clark being very awkward about it.

It has a bunch of callbacks to other writers who would have the alternating panels of Batman and Superman where it’s exactly the same except for their perspectives.

Spoiler!

Wow. I actually dig this panel. I love how Catwoman is drawn like a cat who is curious and scared about a new interaction.

Yeah I like how she slinks under his arm while he holds the door open and then hides behind him.

this issue was fun. it reminded me of why i like reading comic books. batman and superman are literally fighting crime in some instances while being reasoned with by their significant others regarding their 'bromance' with each other. it was far better an issue than i expected and im glad i picked it up

It was a good issue. Shows how much Superman and Batman rate each other, and their own insecurities by comparison, even though they're part of the trinity. You know they're good friends, but too 'professional' to ever admit it to one another.

[wickedman]

I'm wayy down for more X-men films, Spiderman or X-men are the apex of Marvel. I do not see them fitting in with the current universe, agree with brah above, make them their own thing.

[LurkoLantern]

Keep in mind, while Marvel was pursuing their sharing deal with Sony on Spiderman, they were trying to do the same thing with Fox specifically for........Galactus and Silver Surfer. Apparently after Thanos they wanted to jump right back to another cosmic villain.


Anyways, Marvel knows what they're doing - and they know how to play the long game. It's no mistake that after Secret Wars, Dr. Doom came back looking like Vincent Cassell. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney already has him under retainer in case this deal goes through.

[BullBoy8]

Disney officially buys fox. Marvel has all the rights now to Fantastic 4 and the villains.

[wickedman]

Fixing the Fantastic 4 and Dr. Doom (mainly) will be nice. I bet they cuckify the X-men hard though.

[ohiostate124]

How the fuk did all of this happen so fast? I never thought Spider-Man would come home either. Now Disney has them all. When it rains it pours I guess.


We could now do the full Illuminati. I’m gonna be so pissed if Blackbolt doesn’t show up because of that **** show.

[JPeeper]

Is this day real life?

Peppering my ass for Galactus and Dr. Doom.


fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk yea

Iger also said that there is a place for R-rated Marvel movies within Disney. *grinning intensifies* Whether that just means they will keep Deadpool rated R or actually start making more R-rated Marvel movies is yet to be seen, but I can be optimistic.


The next phase when announced after Avengers 4 in 2018 is going to blow minds.

No silver surfer origin movie no care


Tbh if I see surfer in the official marvel studios movies I might die of a heart attack.

Never read a comic book, but the movies have intrigued me. Any suggestion on how to start or does it really matter? I know they have multiple arcs and whatnot. I recently ordered a random 25 pack of DC/marvel/etc from Amazon hoping I like them.

Best bet is to just look up some of the better events that happened in comics. Read it and look up stuff you don't know on wiki as you read. That can also help you find interesting characters/story arcs you may want to read more of

I would avoid any Marvel stuff post 2015 when the SJW trash hit.

Books I would recommend that don't need a prior reading history. God of Thunder, Old Man Logan (the original series), Uncanny Xforce, Astonishing Xmen, SpiderVerse, and old 90s Xmen comics.

But yea. I tend to spend time on wiki reading about characters that I don't know about. Watching Flash has me googling characters and spending hours going down a spider web of information.

You could try Marvel Unlimited as well which has lots of Marvel back issues digitally.

Honestly I barely read Marvel, so I couldn't help you that much. I read DC and even with DC there's a bunch of stuff I don't know. That's the problem with 70+ years of continuity. At least with DC you can buy their trades for cheap, I find Marvel trade paper backs absurdly overpriced. Marvel I only ever read Brubaker's Cap. run, WWHulk, Infinity Gauntlet, Whedon's X-Men run, House of M and Thor. The movies are what really got me into Marvel because I like the movies, which is why DC fuking up the DCEU pisses me off so much, because I like DC Comics much much more.

We could probably help you more with more details. What characters are you interested in?

Didn't really have a specific character in mind, but probably avengers/justice league, spiderman, punisher, and batman.

[JPeeper]

I haven't read it myself (I plan to when I get some money), but I've heard Ultimate Spider-Man is a good place to start as its brand new continuity so you aren't bogged down with 40+ years of history or with newer Marvel, a reboot every 4 days.

Punisher MAX by Garth Ennis is a good place to start with Punisher, I've read the first 2 trades and they are good. Couldn't help you on Avengers because I tried Ultimates and didn't like it at all, don't know other Avenger runs.

Justice League I'd recommend Grant Morrison's JLA run, I am on the first volume myself and it is really good. For New 52, Forever Evil + JL Vol. 6-8 is really solid. Didn't hear great things about the first 5 volumes so I avoided buying them, though I know what happens in them. Rebirth Justice League is trash so avoid it.

Batman I could go on and on, but all of New 52 Batman by Snyder is good, then the classics (just google best Batman stories and the same 10-20 will pop up).

[JPeeper]

Finally back this week is Dark Nights Metal with #4.

Feels like forever since I got into it (since I binged all of Metal after 3 came out). This event has been amazing IMO and super excited to see what else it brings. I think Hawkman Found also comes out this week.

Conan, Quasar, Groo(lol), Secret Invasion, Darkhawk maaaaybe, that Dani Moonstar cover was pretty good but damn if she wasn't/isn't a woefully underused character, Silver Surfer, Nova...


I refuse to read "Ultimate" anything.

[freeburn]

Some ultimate stuff can be ok. I thought ultimate Reed Richard was pretty cool
