    I like how, in addition to the very real problems, the editor has a beef with v-neck teeshirts

    I think that might be a jab at DC who gave everybody V-Neck collars

    Young Avengers took a similar swipe during Gillen's run

    It did

    although, I do feel that that YA series was not perhaps the best basis for Marvel to be launching criticism (however well founded) at DC!

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    What

    Why

    YA has some issues, you know I'm not a fan, but it didn't have any of the massive host of problems DC is dealing with

    Apparently Al Pacino really liked Guardians of the Galaxy

    true, I just feel that maybe YA should have spent a little less time on references and more on, you know, actually being interesting

    Man people are allowed to not like Young Avengers, no reason to go ugh about it

    I am not a huge fan myself! I liked the first few issues but quickly lost interest when it once again revolved around Wiccan and introduced a bunch of meta textual bullshit

    I just wanted fun teen super heroics!

    I have no problem with people not liking Young Avengers, like what you like, different tastes and all that

    The Original Sins Young Avengers story by Ryan North was leagues better than Gillen's run to me

    If I want meta-textual stuff I'll read Six-Gun Gorilla again

    Then why go "Ugh" when Solar said it wasn't interesting?

    Like, people going "ugggggh" or whatever when people like or don't like something is one of my pet peeves

    People have different tastes, don't be jerky about it

    That's exactly my point! You can say you don't like something without implying it's objectively bad or uninteresting or whatever, but people seem to do this a fair bit, which is shitty

    "Actually being interesting" is what I was ugh-ing at

    Meta Stuff is weird with me

    I am typically okay with it whenever it is done in a comedic capacity as long as it isn't the only type of joke being told (like, 22 Jump Street vs. Abed in the latter seasons of Community)

    But you make it a major part of the plot and I immediately lose all interest unless it is something like JiM where the characters and their nature as objects of legend and myth are inherently built in

    Wiccan striding across comic panels was basically everything I didn't want out of YA

    Well presumably he meant he didn't find it interesting? I don't think he was making a sweeping objective statement.

    To the person who pointed out that SHIELD is in fact bad at their jobs, I just want to say yes. Yes they are.

    Unless it's Hickman's SHIELD, who historically was pretty badass. Also, completely insane in scope and roster.

    Speaking of which, what happened to Hickman's second SHIELD mini

    Hickman and Weaver each got too busy with other stuff, but the last two issues are being finished soonish now

    I loved the original YA series, and I like gillen, but his run of left me pretty cold

    Just went on a run of some more comic stuff

    Tell me how I did, I got

    Captain America #23
    Guardians of the Galaxy #18
    Hawkeye #11 (the pizza dog one or whatever)
    Moon Knight #2

    the digital code on Moon Knight is faded and split between the actual page and the sticker i ripped off and i am going CRAZY trying to figure out what the code is

    Those are all good comics

    Guardians will probably be a little confusing because it deals with the ending of DnA's run as opposed to continuing Bendis'

    you need to get Moon Knight #5

    it is literally The Raid: Moon Knight Edition

    Moon Knight has been real great

    The punk rock ghosts was another favorite of mine

    Wondering how the series will compare post-Ellis

    I am confident Wood's writing will be fine but man I am not so big on the new artist:

    It isn't bad at all, but Declan Shavely is one of my favorite artists working today and Smallwood just ain't hitting those notes

    They had Moon Knight 2 and 6, and I figured with a choice between just two of them I should just get the earlier one even though they're supposedly pretty self-contained

    Also my dad grabbed a full collection of "The New Invaders"?

    cause the former is pretty good and the latter bloooows

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    It's the former

    My dad looooooooooves the Invaders, I guess

    I'm not entirely sure who they are but hey there's Captain America

    Actually that's USAgent who is basically right wing asshole but not total asshole Captain America

    he was Steve's government issued replacement when he gave up the mantle

    my brain is split directly in half between hating that and loving that

    USAgent is what happens when you split the difference between Captain America and Judge Dredd

    Why is USAgent's shield made out of newspaper?

    I think it is metal inscribed with the names of POWs? Or KIA soldiers?

    I forget

    it's something real dumb

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    USAgent is a really great ridiculous, awesome character

    but some people really like him in the same way people think Judge Dredd is a model of what law enforcement should be and that is upsetting

    Here's where comic book naming conventions get me

    There's an Avengers series you all have been talking about a lot

    There's another one that was specifically recommended to me

    I cannot for the life of me recall what either one are, and when I was at the comic shop it was impossible to guess which ones were which because there were like 5 different series' called "[Adjective] Avengers"

    Probably Secret Avengers as it is spy bullshit with MCU people
