haha thanks I have been collecting Marvel comics for about 25 years. I don’t by them to collect or sell. I just buy them to read.
After Captain America was killed I quit buying new comics altogether. Now I only buy old back issues.

I stoped buying Marvel when Spider-Man made a deal with the devil to divorce his wife and go back to living in his Aunt’s basement.
Cappy should be ressurected within the next year or so. Even though the gun looked like a Colt 1911 it actually shot magical time bullets. Cappy should be reliving his life Quantum Leap style, and be back in the present before too long.
And folks wonder why I just buy DC.

It is yeah, not free but has thousands of comics on there for $60 per year
http://marvel.com/digitalcomics/
The best way of catching up with the old stuff in my opinion.

It’s a sweet deal. I’ve been using it for the past year.
$55-$60 for a one year subscription. 6000+ comic books on file. Probably a dozen free to read comics if you want to test it out. You will need a fairly recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader I believe, but its free so no big deal. Most annoying is that they tease us with just a couple issues from big events like Civil War or Secret Invasion. The only way to get the full story is to buy the periodicals or the trades. On the other hand they have nearly the entire run 1990’s Thor, Fantastic Four #1, Spider-Man #1, and some other stuff that you would not normally be able to read or find.
PS
I hate threads like these. With that said:
Wolbarret is talking out his ass. Supes would own Thor any day every day. Supes would carry Thor up to the moon then proceed to beat Thor with his own hammer just like Rulk did.
oi, have any of you guys seen the skinny kid they got to play Thor? lol
His name is Chris Hemsworth. He’s tall and blond and he’s got a BOOMIN voice. But he would really have to spend a couple of years bulking to look right
I know they are just going to put him in a muscle suit, like the dude in my avatar picture, which kind of sucks.
I really just don’t understand why they couldn’t find themselves an actor that is seriously yolked. I guess I don’t know of any actors that are regular BBers except Mickey Rourke.
Can you dooods think of any actors that are Thor big?
Thanks bujo and deadpunk, i will browse through there and see what i can find.
Hey Wol how are you liking Dark Reign, FrankenCastle seems pretty lame.

I will check it out since you brought it up. If it isn’t Thor, Hulk, or Sabretooth related, I try not to read it.

And what happened when Thor came back down? Thor took Rulk seriously and beat his ass. The only reason Thor didn’t kill him was because heroes around him convinced him to let Hulk finish the fight.
Don’t get it twisted. Thor doesn’t come to Earth and looks to kill anybody. As soon as you get out of line, he will beat your ass.
And carrying Thor to moon won’t stop him. He’s traveled through galaxies, star systems, dimensions, etc.
Thor will whip that ass. Now before any of this gets too personal, let’s make sure we can stay friends after this Comic book thread is dead and gone.

Already happened in a George Perez crossover between the JLA and Avengers. Supes beat Thor, but said he was the single toughest opponent he had ever fought. After the rest of the Avengers look over from their battles and see that he beat Thor, they all jump Superman and stomp him to the ground. The villians in the story that dupe them into fighting each other are Kronos (DC) and Gamesmaster (Marvel). This is classic Supes vs classic Thor.
Look it up.
So why is it that Superman is weak against magic and kryptonite, but when he’s about to get smashed by one of the most powerful mystical items in the Marvel Universe(Mjolnir), Superman grabs it flat side and holds it. Superman is vulnerable to Magic just like any normal human being. So he would have taken that hit like any normal human being. He should have died.
If George Perez actually used the weakness to magic trait that Superman has, the Hammer would have smashed through him and broke Supes in half.
Also, at the end of the crossover, you have Superman holding Wonder Woman’s Lasso, Thor’s Hammer, and Captain America’s shield. It shouldn’t have been called “JLA vs Avengers”, it should have been called “Fuck comic book history, Superman will win regardless if it makes sense or not”
A pure one on one brawl: Thor wins. Better fighter, same stats as his opponent, and a Hammer plays into the opponents WEAKNESS to magic.[/quote]
A logical explanation might be andrenaline. Someone might normally be a pussy fighter, but when they feel real angry or in danger they can fight all of a sudden.

I’m just pushing buttons. I never read the full Rulk arc. Never knew what happened after the Rulk vs Thor fight on the moon.
Did you see the Deadpool vs Sabertooth fight? Sabertooth got whipped. What a pussy.

WolBarret, you are my favourite. One of the only people involved in these silly comic book debates who actually knows what they’re talking about, and not who HAS won in fleeting crossover battles by writers scared to make the big decisions, but who SHOULD win based on their strengths and weaknesses. Usually the answer is pretty clear cut.

Ok. Let’s take a farm boy from Kansas and have him fight one of the best Viking warriors known to man.
One knows how to bail hay.
The other knows how to kill a man or beast with or without weapons, lead a raid or a troop of warriors against enemies, and has spent his ENTIRE life fighting.
Viking wins.

God, they let Sabretooth lose…jesus. Deadpool is a respectable fighter and it doesn’t bother me too much. But that’s cool. Sabretooth will hunt him down next year and kill the Merc with a mouth.
Did you see how Wolverine blinded the Rulk and a Red She Hulk came in to save him?

I just try to keep up to date on the characters I grew up with. And to smash Wolverine fans into oblivion.
Don’t worry, your friend request is coming.
I’m going to preface this by saying I don’t know shit about comic books.
This has got me curious as to who you think is the most powerful comic book character ever? Is it between Thor, Hulk and Superman, or is there some galactic badass out there who I’m not familiar with?

Probably Galactus or the Living Tribunal. Thanos is pretty high up there too

It wasn’t much of a fight. Deadpool starts by unloading a couple uzis into Sabertooth, and in true Deadpool comedic style continues unloading for several panels over a couple pages. By the time Deadpool runs out of ammo and Sabertooth starts to heal up the island they are on blows up.
Red She-Hulk? What? Now I know you’re just making shit up.
