    I never said it was, of all the shit niecza did in his latest run I really only liked the addition of Blizzard.

    That Avengers/Thunerbolts mini he did was pretty good though.

    And of course the original Busiek series is brilliant.

    What the hell is True Believers, and why is the solicit so amusing to me?
    trueblvr002_color.jpg

    Here's the first issue's solicit from July's offerings.
    TRUE BELIEVERS #1 (of 5)
    Written by CARY BATES
    Pencils & Cover by PAUL GULACY
    “PAYBACK IS A BITCH”
    Super heroes running a female fight club? Unbelievable perhaps, but it's a tale of depravity that will send shockwaves across the globe once the sordid details appear on a podcast uploaded by the TRUE BELIEVERS! Who are these counter-culture subversives with strange powers and abilities who have proclaimed themselves 'warriors of the information age'? The True Believers not only speak truth to power, they wield it like a weapon using it to root out lies and deception, cover-ups and conspiracies wherever they find them. Whether it’s S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Illuminati, HYDRA or Weapon X, the CIA or the CSA, no target is too big and no one is off-limits -- including a wary superhuman community with plenty of its own secrets to hide!
    32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

    EDIT: And look what's being reprinted in August...

    there's a lot of x-men in that pile

    which is kind of funny, considering how most of them die in the book

    Oh, oh, sorry.

    "You murdered some of this nation's greatest heroes -- and the X-Men Cyclops and Jubilee."

    That's the actual quote.

    I can't wait for the internet to be once again filled with cries of "THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN SO-AND-SO COULD OBVIOUSLY KILL THE PUNISHER IN A SECOND AND WOULDN'T DIE FROM THAT".

    New Thunderbolts was pretty...average, but it had it's moments, mostly all having to do with Zemo. Loved the New Avengers getting their ass' handed to them, though. Personally, I loved the addition of Joystick to the team. Always liked her from back when she was introduced in the Ben Reilly days.

    Zemo really needs to team up with Doom, Namor and Loki and have a pimps only club.

    Which will mean that the whole point of the comic just went over their heads.

    "Point" DarkPrimus is talking about: It's a what if!
    Actual point: "lol superheroz suk guys"

    Not necessarily DPs point but it's the point of the book.
