Spiderman<BR/>2. Batman <BR/>3. Daredevil <BR/>4. Nightcrawler <BR/>(most underrated X-man) <BR/><BR/>I had an appreciation for how these guys handled there buisness. Come to find out Im seeing a pattern all these guys were doing there thing in the city. And anyways Peter Parker was from Queens right down the street from where I grew up.El Finhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590564289836448843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14451543.post-76441712359985950492008-02-12T09:40:00.000-08:002008-02-12T09:40:00.000-08:00I always hated Cyclops.

Dude has unbreakable claws....what should he do...become letter opener man? I also noticed the biggest complainers were people who could use their powers from a distance (like Cyclops).Amadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824458171389497321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14451543.post-51874626373584556272008-02-10T07:48:00.000-08:002008-02-10T07:48:00.000-08:00Another title I gotta plug. Ex Machina. You know a...Another title I gotta plug. <B>Ex Machina</B>. You know anytime a comic title breaks into the main media and gets talked about its a big deal. The Rolling Stone mag and New York Times were blowing it up. <BR/><BR/>Its the best story of a regular dude with the strangest super power I seen, who turns around and then becomes the Mayor of NYC. The stories been crazy, he saves one of the Twin Towers from the plane crashing. The arts cool too. <BR/><BR/><BR/>And to stay on topic, I gots to mention two X-Men stories that stuck with me. <BR/><BR/>1. When Prof. X was no where to be found and Storm and Cyclops were arguing who was going to lead the X-Men and they settled it in the Danger Room with all the X-men lookin on. Even though Storm didnt have her powers she won the fight. Cyclops takes a walk and leaves the mansion , 'never to return'. Feelings hurt he meets up with Angel to later form X-Factor. That Danger Room fight was a good one and the lil drama kept me thinking.<BR/><BR/>2. The two part X-Men and Alpha Flight limited edition was a good story. While doing some research way up North a group o humans along with the superheros in ther civies come across this well that turns ordinary talents into super powers. So if you had cooking skills you could make food an water out of thin air. IF you had knowledge of animals you became a beastmaster type. Well after Wolverine digs into the source he finds that the well is sucking the life out of all the magic in the world so Dr. Strange, Shaman etc were all dying, drying up with the wells usage. The well was going to be a source to stop the anti mutant racism and give everyone the ability to be super at he expense of all the magic users of the world. Logan wasnt having none of that. <BR/><BR/>The two teams pick sides on who wanted the well and who didnt. Wolverine wanted to shut down the well, Colossus wanted the well. It turns into a brawl between the two sides with teams split up and the new super humans fighting the folks that took sides with Wolverin until Prof. X jumps in. Come to find out Loki was behind the whole thing. The story is good the arts good too.El Finhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590564289836448843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14451543.post-56208424617959963772008-02-09T16:22:00.000-08:002008-02-09T16:22:00.000-08:00my man Pharoan put me on to the New Avengers.

I also dug the fact that Captain America knew the new crew was short on super powers and enlisted the Sentry to help them out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205384167481897308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14451543.post-45794004749702080082008-02-09T06:58:00.000-08:002008-02-09T06:58:00.000-08:00Being a Star Wars geek from way way back and a com...Being a Star Wars geek from way way back and a comic book head from the eighties I had to comment. <BR/><BR/>I'll recap some moments in my comic reading that stuck with me and I gotta agree on a few points you made. <BR/><BR/>After so many years away from the comic book rack,(my one man protest of the price hikes) The New Avenger title brought me back with that story of Avengers being killed off. Hawkeye, Thor, Captain America. And who was behind all that killing? The Scarlet Witch.<BR/> That was some good shit. Check out The New Avengers#1 when they decide to send Bruce Banner into space only to piss him off and have him conquer a planet and the Civil War series kicks off where Super Heros had to register or face punishment. Heros took sides and Captn America an Iron Man were enemies. <BR/><BR/>As o recent Im going back thru a classic Lone Wolf & Cub, from Dark Horse a 28 graphic novel series worth checking out. To bring it home it was one of the biggest inspirations that G. Lucas brought to the original Star WarsEl Finhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590564289836448843noreply@blogger.com
