For those who don’t know who Thor is or forgot, here you go:

That wsa a beautiful issue, Iron Man wants Thor to sign on to the inititive and Thor procedes to cockslap the alcoholic until he Stark yields and gives him diplomatic immunity

Wolverine died in Uncanny Annual 6 or 7, Capt britian guest stars. They are fighting a creature who gives the X-Men their greatest wish then killing them, Wolverine and Storm kiss, and the creature kills wolverine but a drop of blood touches the monster’s crystal and he is regenerated from that.

I’m happy Marvel has decided to de power Wolverine to where he’ll heal but not as quick and mortal wounds are fatal. Similar to the late 80’s where he get’s beaten and crucified by the Reavers and even when he pops his claws he bleeds for awhile

Good. Off topic, but did they ever replace Captain America or is Steve Rogers alive? I hope he’s alive.

He got replaced by Bucky Barnes who is alive and well in a new suit desiged by Alex Ross, he looks like Capt Puerto Rico

So you’re telling me Steve Rogers is dead. The man who took on the Nazis with only a shield and maybe a handgun, took on Thanos, took on the Hulk, took on Red Skull, and led the Avengers is dead. Taken out by a simple sniper bullet.

I guess. Cause God knows if Captain America died fighting a major villain, he would just be revived some how. The sniper bullet seems final. And this isn’t sarcasm.

Two funny as videos for your enjoyment!!

See the problem is people suffer from “extreme syndrome” and “nintendo fever” a classic character like Superman, Cpatain America, and Thor have to be replaced by retarded “extreme” characters like Vengeance, Venom(carnage), and other equally dumb watered down un iconic characters it’s a shame really. Hell marvel can’t even give characters a noble death Bucky is brought back to life brainwashed and called the Winter Soldier.

Becausse he’s built like a bitch and was embaressed in the aquaman episode where Arthur has bigger arms, legs, chest and abs

Yeah, did you catch last night’s Smallville? Welling doesn’t even look like he’s in good shape anymore.

Any word on who they are casting for the upcoming Thor movie? Imdb is still rumoring that it’s Kevin McKidd. I liked him as Lucius Vorenus on Rome, but I’m not sure how I feel about him as Thor.

At one point it was the guy who played Sabertooth in the original X-Men film, he’s tall he’s blonde, and he’s got a build.

Nine Inch Nails is offering its new album as a 100% free download from their web site:

You can get it in just about any format you like. I opted for MP3 and the bit rate is anywhere from low to upper 200’s. Not too shabby.[/quote]

Yeah, I got this last night - listening to it now, it’s pretty sweet.

So after the heroes of today ran into their 70’s counterparts in the savage land, a fight ensues, 70’s spidey adn hawkeye are killed. mockingbird(who’s been dead since the 90’s) as she is mournig his death, Ronin(Hawkeye) points an arrow at her and feels she is really Mockingbird. Also people are thinking Cap is the real cap.

Pretty sure his name was Tyler Mane. He seems like a good choice.

No it’s a limited series as well as in various crossover books. Bendis claims he’s been setting this up for 2yrs in the Marvel U, more specically in New Avengers, and Secret Wars 3

Methinks the secret invasion and not knowing who is who is the primary reason for the superhero act in Civil War. Because Stark was one of the Illuminati he knows of the Skrull insurgency.

Very very interesting storyline I think.

Illuminati involving Black Bolt and Submariner. Wow. Glad I fell out of comics.

Not that far fetched. Don’t both of them qualify as “leaders” of some colony or world? I can see why they included them…and I don’t even know much about them other than that…and the fact that Blackbolt doesn’t speak. I bought the first issue of The Illuminati and it wasn’t bad at all. They have apparently been employing better writers lately.


Thought this could go here.

After all the talk of GTA IV and games, I finally got around to finding a deal on a TV and 360.

Lots of late nights to come.
