My wife lost her shite on that one.


I thought he said "Clinch Legolas"...then blasted off to deposit him on the vantage point he fought from.

pretty sure if he tried to shoot himself in the face and the hulk stopped it, so killing him is impossible in this universe

somebody's going to offer him a chance to de-hulk, either in the 2nd or 3rd movies

then Angus is going to show up and be like WHAT THE HELL IS NORMAL and the hulk will rock out in a purple suit

The Hulk is an example of comic writers going overboard with powers. It seems cheap how recently The Hulk has pretty much become the most powerful being in the universe.

This and your Image love is quite interesting. I ain't going to lie, I have/had the entire X-Force run from the 90's and a lot of the early Image books. I mean, they're fun for a teenage boy, but they were rather shallow.

X-Force was the weakest X book for a long time. Excalibur was way more interesting.

Cyclops is extremely bland when compared to Wolverine and Gambit and others. But he is needed the most because his role is to get them to fight as a team.


Gambit is overrated and when is the last time you read X-Men? Cyclops has been The Man for like 10 years now. Not next in line or threatened by Wolive, The My-way-goes-or-else-Man.

Word. But he was dorky in the 90's. Now he's even a better leader than Professor X ever was.

Would someone answer the following question. I'm not being an a-hole, but why should I spend a couple of hours watching some overblown superhero, comic book movie. Is there something there I don't know about?

Yeah I saw that he loves Image. Image was fricking awful in the 90s. The epitome of over-stylized no substance books. If you were a Leifield fanboy then well, you were a douche. Captain America is more of a social commentary than anything early Image ever produced.


Spawn-overrated as shite
YoungBlood-awful
Savage Dragon-best of the bunch, but would be cancelled at Marvel
The Maxx- crap
Cyberforce- same


when you are a pre-teen and are aware of enough to know how shallow a product is, then that product has problems. Hence the change in direction for Image.

If you liked the set-up films (CA, Thor, Iron Man) Watch it. If not, don't bother.

Bingo.

They had good art. Lots of big tits and weirdly muscled men in weird poses.

Dark Horse > Image

Funny, think I have all of these #1's in the storage of my parent's house. Worth like $20 all together.

Everything that was wrong with comics in the late mid 90's.

creator of the biggest roman candle of the 90's Gen13 IMO

It was the most popular comic for a year, with it's big breasted heroines who got their costumes torn to shite every issue, but after that it just went away.

DC is currently trying to incorporate some of those old image characters into their new line.

i have a few of their issues. i bought gen13 just to see the artwork b/c it was something different

and i could never draw women that well, so i pretty much ignored the tits

Something like that. Not sure if he got a title bump or if he actually has creative control.

Great summer popcorn film. Doesn't top TDK and wasn't suppose too. I hate when people compare the two, there completely different films (aside from being comic book films) with completely different purposes.

The Avengers is a great, funny, explosive summer popcorn thrill ride.

TDK (and TDKR) are great, thrilling, crime dramas with action elements.
