In particular, Jeff Parker's run on the <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Adventures-Avengers-Vol-Assembled/dp/0785123067/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210615071&sr=1-2" REL="nofollow">Avengers</A> was a lot of fun.Ferrous Bullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707719932073719083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-80656956193432526712008-05-10T04:31:00.000-04:002008-05-10T04:31:00.000-04:00And LW -- I liked American Dream.

Loeb may have done something with him, but by then I'd given up on the Marvel Ultiverse and the 616 Cap was dead (and damn, he's been dead a long fucking time for a guy who's series is still running.) When I say I want non-asshole Cap, I mean I'm digging through 616 back issues.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-6318704223184197722008-05-09T13:05:00.000-04:002008-05-09T13:05:00.000-04:00Oh Ragnell, you're just asking for some heartache....Oh Ragnell, you're just asking for some heartache. Hooboy, do I know that feeling!

And depending on what Sturges is like on <I>Blue Beetle</I>, that may end up being no DC vs. Marvel...<BR/><BR/>But I ended up flipping thru <I>American Dream</I> at the store. Not that I have any actual interest in the M2 line, but the co-owner was ranting about how much her husband had over ordered on the title. So I had to see if it was as bad as she was making it out...<BR/><BR/>It was..average. Honestly its a book that I only see working if lots of people fall for the character. DeFalco isn't a bad writer, but he's not a particularly notable one either. And the artist (who I mostly recognize because he does that <I>Wildguard</I> book for Image) is good enough. But again. Nothing great...<BR/><BR/>Its like an 80s filler book. Simple, basic super-heroing. Which, I'll admit, can be a plus for anyone burnt out on the Dickery of regular Marvel or the Super, Bulk Shopping Dickery of Ultimate Marvel...LurkerWithouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540770911478925992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-73548034217312189222008-05-09T03:32:00.000-04:002008-05-09T03:32:00.000-04:00Ragnell,I feel you on this.

And everytime I think I'm well and truly done with them, there's always something that draws me back.<BR/><BR/>Recently I had basically quit anything except thier non universe books, (Dark Tower, Marvel Illustrated etc) and the Joss Whedon stuff, but then Thor got my interest, and now Hulk, and recently gods help me I'm doing X-titles. X titles for the love of sanity. I've been down this road before and I should know better but... Ah well at least hopefully it will be some fun while it lasts.<BR/><BR/>Take<BR/>It<BR/>Easy<BR/><BR/>ToriachAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349672344754679659noreply@blogger.com
