I ask because of the motw thread with Frank and his partner teaming up with Spidey and Daredevil. Frank and whoever use guns and grenades and knives, there really isn't a way to use those weapons and not maim or kill, even in a comic book, unless you have some kind of neat less lethal bullets, maybe Pym particle capsule bullets that turn into something other than bullets right before impact.
You should also read Peter and Max, the prose novel.
Thing is, that plot point is so old now it's not even relevant anymore, but the story is still being made. (who knew a werewolves website would keep track of that?)
you are in luck! we had a thread about this exact subject recently!

personally, I recommend War Rocket Ajax and SILENCE!

Yeah that's what I was wondering. I didn't know how the new 52 fit into the multiverse or if the entire multiverse has been recreated.
Outsiders by Judd Winnick. The team looks pretty cool, and I've been meaning to read more Nightwing.
Nightwing by Chuck Dixon and various others.
Marvel Team up by Robert Kirkman. I love Invincible, so I figure this is probably good?
I will post others if I remember them. There are tons.
My last trip I picked up the Deluxe Edition of Tom Strong volume 1, the Marvel Maximum Security series, and Countdown: Lord Havok and the Extremists.
Winnick's Outsiders read a bit too Mark Millar-ish for me. I remember reading the first 10 or so issues, but just couldn't care for it after that.
They're magnificent
Iceman also makes a great villain

So, those two books deal with Iceman in some way I suppose, right? I will add it to my Amazon wishlist.
If anyone has other awesome Iceman suggestions, let me know!
Are you reading Wolverine and the X-Men right now?
I just picked up the latest one for the AvX stuff. After reading it, I was thinking of getting the past issues (or waiting on a trade).
There's a trade soon but you should get the issues anyway. It is that good.
You all helped me pick some excellent books for the DC relaunch. I'm seriously loving them.
But let's see. Can we manage similar results with Marvel?
I love the Hulk! I want to actually read something with the Hulk in it. Not red hulk- not Skaar- regular 'ol Hulk.
Alternatively, I mostly buy my marvel stuff in trades. I admit that a big part of me getting floppies for the dc relaunch was being able to jump in from "the beginning".
Is there anything going on like this in marvel, possibly because of the movie?
You should get the first trade and then catch up in floppies for Wolverine and the X-Men. Get Daredevil 10.1 and everything since. (and the stuff before in trades) Hold off on other Avengers/X-Men stuff until AvX is over.
The problem is that it's summer crossover season, so a LOT of stuff is very non-new-reader-friendly right now.
I've been planning on getting the Daredevil stuff in trades, since I have pretty much every Daredevil trade already.
A bit early to say, but it doesn't look bad so far

Greg Pak ended a pretty darn legendary run with Hulk last year. If you want to check that out, it starts with Planet Hulk and World War Hulk. after that, you've got Incredible Hulk: Son of Banner, which, yes, does feature Skaar, but is also about the regular Hulk as well. Then it's Fall of the Hulks, World War Hulks, Dark Son, Chaos War, Planet Savage, and Heart of the Monster.
Yes, it reads a lot better in one sitting as a trade than it did in monthly pieces, like all of Fraction's Iron Man.
What happened in ff after franklin summoned him
And another single page comparison
Personally I think the colorist went too far and takes away from Lee's art, especially on that big iconic splashpage. And despite X-Men #1 coming near the height of dark and gritty comics, the new coloring makes it feel much more ominous and not as fun with all the dark and purple doomsday background. Coloring wasn't that good back in the day, but you just let it be a sign of the times, tinkering with it doesn't feel right. It feels like the comic equivalent of messing with ET and giving the FBI walkie talkies instead of guns. It makes me wonder if they removed Wolverine and Fury's cigars while they were recoloring it.
The coloring changes are appallingly bad.
to me, it is like colorizing black and white movies
yeah, sure, maybe they didn't have the technology to be in color/look that smooth
it doesn't mean they are inherently bad and need to be "fixed"
the original coloring adds not only to the feel of the times, but also actually looks better; brighter and maybe a little to whited out, but more...superheroic and innocent, if that makes sense
the 90's X-Men #1 was a product of the 90's, why the hell would you modernize it and make it lose any and all flavor it had before?
