Calax Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Well I guess I'll make a new topic. I made this because I thought you guys might want to check out Supreme Power. It's published by Max (think Virtigo... only for marvel) so it's got boobies. The main plot revolves around a superman style character (right down to lazer eyes and super hearing) who is raised to be a perfect citizen and a weapon for the government... except that when he finds this out, he goes rogue... it's quite complicated and fun.

Oerwinde Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I wish I had enough money to buy comics still. But I have to choose between Comics and DVDs... and DVDs win. Though I can still buy a trade or two when I have some extra cash. Theres a new Lucifer one coming out in march that I have to save for. Have any other canadians noticed that the Canadian price on the back of books and comics when compared to the US price doesn't reflect the exchange rate? The Canadian dollar is worth 85 cents US, yet an $8US book is still 11 bucks Canadian, or a $14 trade is like $24 canadian. when it should be more like $9 and $16 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Surreptishus Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Supreme Power, Marvel version of Justice League, the characters have been around from before but this MAX version is edgy and gritty. I liked the take on Superman or Hyperion's childhood... the puppy incident was funny.
Calax Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) personally I love the "3 blocks away a boy just got kissed by a blonde girl and now he's... Well they didn't tell me about that in biology." and the marvel version of the JLA is the Avengers. Edited February 7, 2006 by Calax Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Surreptishus Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Yes in the way that they are a team of superheroes who individually do stuff too but Supreme Squadron is literally the marvel justice league. Hyperion= Superman Nighthawk = Batman Black guy with afro and goggles who runs real fast = The Flash Doctor Spectrum = Green Lantern Naked superstrong hottie = Wonder Woman female fish thing = Aquaman(girl)
Kor Qel Droma Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I remember the old Squadron Supreme twelve issue maxi-series back in the day. I take it Hyperion is still an ass. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Calax Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 no.. the ass is his girlfriend... and nighthawk. Hyperion just wants to help but because he's left the government they decided to make him into an enemy. (great sequence btw) To make the government understand how powerful he is Hyperion created a geologic event on the north pole that measured at 10.5 on the richter scale.

LoneWolf16 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 KotOR Comic Seems oddly interesting...and I like the art style. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
Walsingham Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I have to say that my favs have never been Marvel. No offence, but I got into comics via 2000AD, which is a lot darker and has all kinds of political stuff tucked inside. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Calax Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 heh... I'm a comic nerd... I'm gonna post this linky... it's to the supreme power issue one online just to give you a feel for the way it goes and for the puppy incident that Surr talked about http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazines/wi...030815-sp_1.cfm Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

metadigital Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I was actually cooling my heels in the bookshop today and was perusing the comics: there were a couple I recognised like Tankgirl and Ultimate Xmen, as well as some I thought looked interesting, like Preacher, X-men (e Generation, or something) and something like a cross between Ghostbusters, Men In Black and the X-files, but called Dirt Crap, or something (can't recall). What are some good artists / writers to look out for, in case I feel the need to spend OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Surreptishus Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Some writers: J. Michael Straczynski - does(did?) Spider-man and supreme power (probably well known in the industry for other stuff but havent read comics in a while) Probably best known for Babylon 5 and is currently writing or has written an upcoming episode of Lost. Alan Moore - Considered to be graphic novel legend, wrote League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (crap film but source material is good supposedly) V for Vendetta (soon to be released as a film). Frank Miller - Sin City, Batman Year One (IMO inspired Batman Begins) I can't remember the names of many artists but Alex Ross is noteworthy, Adi Granov is good too.
metadigital Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 There was a League novel, too. didn't have time to scan it. Thanks, I'll bear those names in mind. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

metadigital Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I'll have to search a bit further afield for culture, the local Ottakar's just has a couple of rebound-six-issues of the Marvel and DC brands. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Dark_Raven Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I have always been a fan of Lady Death and Vampirella. Marvel's X-men is another favorite of mine. The problem is I have not been collecting them like I used to. I stopped doing it a few years ago. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
