Marvel Comics General

Go To

This thread's for talking about the Marvel Comics line, whether the comics are decades old or brand new.

As well as the superhero tales of the Marvel Universe, that also includes all the other things Marvel's done (Epic Comics, Icon Comics, Star Comics and all the rest), as well as the older stories by Atlas and Timely, the companies that later became Marvel.

Acquisitions like Malibu Comics and Miracleman are also on-topic, as are the licensed 20th Century Studios titles, the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Zoids and Transformers comics, and all of the comics created locally by regional imprints like Marvel UK and Marvel Italia.

  • We have dedicated threads for some groups of titles (such as Spider-Man and the X-Men). You can still discuss them here, but you might want to use the more specific threads.
  • We also have threads for Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Predator and some of the other franchises. Sometimes it may be more useful to discuss the comics there rather than here — but they're still on-topic and there's no hard rule.

Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about them here.

Discussions that are only about Marvel adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.

Please follow the spoiler policy rules - tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics (e.g. if comparing Marvel to a DC story). When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).

    Original text of OP 
A thread for all the miscellaneous Marvel discussion that doesn't have its own thread.

So apparently, they're making a Black Panther movie. Let's hope Hudlin is kept as far away as possible. On a related note, anyone think that the whole 'Super Hero that is also a King/Ruler' is kind of ridiculous? I mean where do heroes like Aquaman and T'Challa find the time to both lead a nation and go gallavanting on the other side of the globe?

I always knew that man's hair is unnatural.

Cause seriously what the fuck is wrong with his hair?

I legit thought "Asgardians of the Galaxy" was a joke/fan-made team someone made.

Not particularly excited about it, but it's nice to see Bunn one more time writing Valkyrie. I missed Annabelle and their interaction. We'll hopefully see more of them. (What if Valkyrie/Angela/Annabelle o_O).

And Thunderstrike is back? Holy hell, I don't think he hasn't been seen since Fear Itself.

[up][up]I'm not too sure about this one given Kitty's queerness has never been stated by even Word of God (unlike Ororo and Wonder Woman's) so it's hard to call it erasure when it's never been confirmed to be there.

This is why writers really should show characters as being LGBT rather than just innuendo.

That makes two multiverse events RYV MJ has been involved in.

Venomverse, then Spidergeddon.

[up]Yeah, she had the Venom symbiote at the time and was brought into the story.

Has Janet had any significant focus recently that hasn't revolved around romantic entanglements?

There was that new one-shot where she and Scott teamed-up against the Living Eraser (remember him?)

Janet could do better.

Tony Stark was voted Most Eligible to turn evil, enter a coma and or be jetesoned into space.

Hmm, but I guess they're not on a team together at the moment, so I guess it doesn't violate the reason they original broke up: no workplace romances.

I would say she should get it on with Bruce, but then again that would be a repeat to her previous relationship with a scientist who have multiple personality disorder.

Just, date someone who's not in a book at the moment. That why nothing terrible can happen to them.

"The Living Eraser uses a device known as the Dimensionizer which can transport people to other dimensions, primarily between Earth and Dimension Z, although it has been used to travel to other realms as well. As the Dimensionizer passes over a surface, it turns it invisible, making it appear as if the victim is being erased. When the entire surface has been transformed, the being or object is transported across dimensions to its destination."

Comic book romances tend to suck. Either you end up in a fridge, sell your marriage to the devil, broken up because of a clone technicality, going evil, trapped in a terrible situation, or worse. Really, I'm sure we can count happy couples on our fingers.
