I figured, sure one day I MAYBE migh...The Punisher. I figured, sure one day I MAYBE might read some of Ennis' run, but I'd never go into a shop and pick up an issue. But then then turned him into Frankenstein, and teamed him up with the Legion of Monsters. It's the kind of off-the-wall craziness that Rick Remender and Tony Moore's Fear Agent stuff has. It also has heart, which makes it something more than just "boy isn't this wacky!". I'm not picking up the single issues due to financial constraints, but I'll be first in line for the collection when it hits stores.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074576631037473886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760242555416345702.post-89791300069841928682010-02-13T00:38:08.628-08:002010-02-13T00:38:08.628-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074576631037473886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760242555416345702.post-34196930146078671612010-02-11T13:18:18.975-08:002010-02-11T13:18:18.975-08:00Scalped.

When I heard back in 2002? or...Mine was Avengers. <br /><br />When I heard back in 2002? or so? that some new guy was completely destroying the Avengers I was disgusted. Kill the Vision? The Scarlet Witch was the bad guy? WHAT?<br /><br />About 2 years ago I was stuck in Louisiana working with colleagues and picked up a copy of New Avengers Breakout-and it was pretty good. I followed up with the rest-New Avengers, Secret Invasion, Spider Woman and even Powers. It was all pretty good. I even read Avengers Disassembled for the first time and was surprised at how much love he had put into it. And in hindsight, it was necessary to reconsruct the group lest they lose their relevance as Marvel's premiere super group.ChrisMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784970666468925633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760242555416345702.post-58147272760041966362010-02-11T08:34:54.775-08:002010-02-11T08:34:54.775-08:00Hah, Devon you beat me to writing this post...
Fo...Hah, Devon you beat me to writing this post...<br /><br />For me, it's Captain America.<br />As a Canadian I really have never cared about the blonde-haired, blue-eyed patriotic symbol of militaristic superiority of my neighbours to the south. Canadians, you see, have a very blasé attitude towards patriotism, and more often have a negative, even suspicious reaction towards it. There's a reason why "Captain Canuck" never took off here.<br /><br />So it was weird for me when my wife announced she was a big-time Captain America fan I was a bit taken aback. But she turned me on ... (ahem)... to Brubaker's Cap and I've been hooked ever since.<br /><br />It helps that the main storyline for the past two+ years has been the theme of "legacy" which is always one of my favourites (and Bru's exploration of Bucky as Cap is almost as good as Waid's explorations of Wally West living-up-to-the-legend in Flash). I'm not sure if I'll stick with Cap once Bru leaves, though.<br /><br />Second to that is Daredevil, a character who never really appealed to me all that much, but after much critical insistence I started picking up the Bendis run in trades and have resoundingly turned around on the character. A large part of that is Marvel has allowed Daredevil to sustain his own continuity and remain almost completely separated from the happenings of the Marvel U... Civil War didn't out Matt Murdock, and there didn't appear any Skrulls, so it makes Daredevil one of the most accessible books in comics. Unlike Captain America, whose title I'm reading mainly because of the writer, I've actually become a Daredevil fan.<br /><br />So there you go.KENT!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00182281723355828663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760242555416345702.post-90618405401969010542010-02-11T07:37:34.232-08:002010-02-11T07:37:34.232-08:00The Immortal Iron Fist.
