Heh, see what they"re doing with Spider-Man? Spoiler Alert, click show to read:doctor octopus has swapped consciousness with Peter, and then died. The finale leading into #700, a $8 104 page issue, starts with Peter talking to Gwen Stacey, her dad, his parents and Uncle Ben This all sets...

Haha. Picked up the TPB for the Dark Angel Saga while on a trip this week... man I love that arc.

Yup, it"s Bank of America"s restrictions we aren"t getting past, not the program in general. A lot of the random refi garbage we get in the mail has the same FICO requirements in the fine print, like the Quicken one we get almost every other week.

Forgot I never came and updated this... I never got to refi because I had a SNAFU with a credit card that made me miss the credit requirements by like 5 points. I had an automatic payment fail and they never notified me other than "statement is available" spam that they send anyways that I never...

Hate the premise of the Red Skull becoming powered up, Uncanny Avengers #1 spoiler: Spoiler Alert, click show to read:He"s going to get powered up using Xavier"s brain, which he proudly is holding in his hand for no reason but for dramatics in the final panel of UX1. So. Stupid. He...

I guess my thought is just that we"ll probably be in this house for ~15-20 tops, not the full 30 so the 3 years is moot (though that"s been a sticking point for me too). We"re also going to probably go through Financial Peace University pretty soon and start managing our finances better... in...

There a downside to FHA streamline financing aside from jumping back out to 30 years? Would be going from $1024/mo / 5.65% to $933 / 3.75%. Would be more if MIP didn"t jump from $50 to $130. Don"t qualify for HARP 2.0 because we purchased our house several months late - 11/09 instead of 5/09 -...

October solicits feature the debut of Uncanny Avengers #1 and the end of the following titles due to the "Marvel Now!" reboot: Captain America, Fantastic Four, FF, Incredible Hulk, Invincible Iron Man, New Mutants, The Mighty Thor, Uncanny X-Men and X-Men Legacy

Bleh. Marvel NOW! Relaunches The Marvel U - Comic Book Resources In a way I guess I"m kinda looking forward to it being a Marvel fan and hating so much of what I"ve been reading lately.

I remember as a kid loving some of the items they called out. That Bloodshot and Shaft "jumping for no reason" was awesome at the time, as someone who loved crossovers. Used to love some of those books, they"re painful to go back and read now. It"s strange to see stuff like Bloodstrike and...

Less excited. Cyclops says the quote, not Scarlet Witch, and unless he"s hosting the Phoenix, or has an Infinity Gauntlet on, won"t mean much.

Solicitations for AvX #6 are out: "No More Avengers"

I remember Armorines being one of my favorite Valiant titles. Image has recently resurrected some titles too, Bloodstrike and Prophet. Stopped reading DC"s "New 52" but as more former Wildstorm characters show up it makes me want to get back into them.

Valiant Universe re-launches this week with X-O Manowar

There have been so many previews, I am pretty sure I"d already read all but like 5 pages of AvX #1. Dorked out and took my son to the party tonight that Maximum Comics threw... "Xavier Institute for Higher Learning" shirt and all. Really glad this is out every 2 weeks.

If you really want to go nuts, look up a torrent called Marvel Major Event chronology. Agree with buying TPBs of stuff you like. I"m waiting for an excuse to get the Age of Apocalypse hardbound collection that came out recently. Wish it had a couple more things in it but it will almost...

I loved and hated all of that stuff... usually love anything with Galactus, but hate pretty much everything involving all the genius children which I guess are now the focus of FF. I am cringing as I wait for them to reintegrate Johnny into the FF like he never had his Negative Zone incident...

Yeah, this panel was really good, and thought the conclusion of that was pretty good. For those who hadn"t read... some future fleet of Sentinels/Nimrods were attacking SF after a lengthy story arc, a group went to the future where they were coming to shut it all down, Cable sacrificed...

Ahoy, spoilers ahead. Well, Cable died a bit ago, or at least seemed to. To return to the Marvel Universe came back from the future with a terminal case of the Techno-Organic Virus to prevent the Avengers from doing something to Hope. The more he exerted trying to take out the Avengers the...

Yeah, I have high hopes that AvX is going to turn things around for Marvel super hero books, but know I shouldn"t get my hopes up after stuff like Schsim and even Fear Itself. Things rarely seem to have a lasting affect, it"s like they decided to split up the X-Men books and then tried to...

So Avengers vs X-Men starts this week with #0. I guess the catalyst for it really started with the return of Cable as he came from the future to kill the Avengers because they were a future threat to Hope. The conclusion of that 4-parter that could have been 1 single comic: Spoiler Alert...

Yeah, I made $5/hr credit for 4 years at a comic shop as a kid, shit is barely worth the paper it"s printed on. Few exceptions being stuff like signed Gen 13, Stormwatch - could probably get cover price for them. Only old books I managed to pick up was Amazing Spider Man #41 in really bad...

He died last January, kinda like the way they brought him back, it"s too bad they"ll certainly bury all of that neutral zone stuff and return to the status quo.

lol.

Thought this was kinda interesting, from another forum:

It"d be strange if they brought Jean back, she"s been dead since before I started reading again, makes it seem like she"s been dead for 10+ years. That and I"m not really sure how she would fit with the X-Men now, Emma would have to die, or would they really pair her with Wolverine and the...

Recap of the announcement livestream Q&A -Highlights From the ?Avengers vs. X-Men? Livestream 12 issues over 6 months.

So next big Marvel event is X-Men vs Avengers with the Phoenix Force returning to Earth needing a new host in April. Avengers VS X-Men | Marvel Heroes | Comic Events | Comics | Marvel.com

X-Force is still great. That arc is concluding soon. It"s still delivering IMO. Not a big fan of "combine 6 comics, you"ve got a hardcover!" but like this enough that I might consider it. I"ve bought a couple of Omnibus editions on sale once, but otherwise just have Old Man Logan. Out...

I thought Fantastic Four #600 was going to suck, but was pleasantly surprised, despite it being $7.99.

Even worse I keep buying these epilogue .n issues like a little addicted comic bitch and not even reading them. Fear Itself has kinda soured me on comics a bit, I am buying just a couple X-Books for Regenesis and have dialed back any random "this looks spiffy" purchases and just pirate...

That"s another reason why we bought when we did, starting a family and have every intention of living in it ~20 years and giving my kids the same opportunity to have the same groups of friends from elementary school through high school that I did. My wife"s best friends she"s known for 9-10...

What a stupid argument, so my wife and I should have stayed in our 800sqft apartment for $850/mo and saved $28k over the next however many years? Instead of paying the 3k to move into our 1750sqft house now and start our family? We have student loans and some credit card debt, but that just...

So I"m going to ask the stupidest question of the thread probably... I have an FHA Loan through BofA, 5.625%, obviously some savings to be had refinancing if we can pay the upfront costs associated with it, does any of the stuff Obama announced today help me? That"s only for if Freddie/Fannie...

Fear Itself sure did sputter to an end, huge issue, a few pages of action, then a bunch of prologues to get you to buy other books. Blah. The stuff with Thor, Cap, and his hammer were kinda wtf. Thought we"d get a lot more mileage out of the weapons Stark had made w/ Odin and co. too.

A lot of people hate the Age of Apocalypse, but I"m fucking stoked that it"s getting it"s own series. At NY Comic Con they also suggested the possible death of Deadpool, and had a simple teaser for 2012: an image that said "It"s coming." with the Phoenix Force in the background behind it...

I guess this is a big deal for some people? DC co-publisher posted this on FB Saturday: "after further review, there have been no Crisis events in the New DCU." DC's Crisis crisis: In New DCU, those major events never happened | Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources - Covering Comic Book News...

He was kind of full of himself I thought, yeah. Thought that was the point too though, he was basically showing off in front of a guy in a bat costume who had no powers.

I thought the "5 years earlier" was kinda cheap for some reason. Guessing we"ll get the same treatment as the other titles launch into their origin stories though.
