I thought I would start a thread on the comics that are being read currently by the posters. Lately this is what I have read (I put some info up also on whats going on in the titles Im reading)..........
Silver Surfer #4
http://i4.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/0f/7b/3d_1.JPG
Surfer for some odd reason that has yet to be revealed has kidnapped a girl from her single mother. Im reading this because Surfer is one of my favorite Marvel characters to always read about. I love his story. But the writer is doing what Bruce Jones is doing with the Hulk and keeping the Surfer to a very minor role. We barely see the Surfer in this in all 4 issues. The story though, is indeed a good read but I am getting impatient not seeing the guy thats name is on the book. :mad:
New X-Men #150

You might have heard about this one. The conclusion is somewhat dissapointing.
** SPOILERS **
If you've read this then you know that both Magneto and Jean die in this issue. How many times can a character die though to only be brought back? Jean and Mags both have died numerious times in the X-titles. Some questions are answered but more appear at the end. Magneto on drugs? Eh. Magneto is a smart villian. He's not a scumbag. He's a man on a mission with a dream. He's not psychotic nor is he downright evil. This story makes him out to be. I liked the XORN thing he did and I thought the writers did a good job on that part, but the conclusion is kinda of dissapointing. The next issue starts 150 years in the future (how many times do we have to have stories in the future in X-books? :rolleyes:
* * END SPOILERS * *
Batman/Superman #4
http://i11.ebayimg.com/01/i/01/1f/e7/fb_1.JPG
For the Superman haters out there, you might enjoy this issue. Superman, also is one of my favorite comic characters. But him and Batman square off against Hawkman and Captain Marvel. Who wins? Well lets just say the this time, Batman didn't find a way to cheat ;) Great issue and I'm loving this series a lot.
Novel I picked up.........
X-MEN Chaos Engine Book 1
http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/01/1e/fa/af_3.JPG
I just finished this tonight and its one of the best novels I've read with comic characters. After completing a mission in space, the X-Men (Nightcrawler, Gambit, Rogue, Jean, Cyclops, and Wolverine) come back to Earth only to learn Dr. Doom rules a very strict Earth. The Fantastic Four are dead, the Avengers are no longer heros, and the other heros in the world are either dead or have joined Doom in his rule as Empreror.
But there is one man who hates Doom: Magneto. Doom hates Erik and Erik wants to rip Von Doom's head off. For a year, Mags has hidden himself from the Doom government and Doom has not been able to catch him. The story builds up to a climax that has Magneto and Doom in an all out war between each other with the X-Men stuck in between. Its a great read and the second book looks even more promising.
