Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Meh, I loved Justice but I find it hard to get into Earth X. I tried reading the prequel issue 0 but I haven't gotten further. I've just got too much shit to read between new comics and other saga's i'm trying to get through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 What I'm kinda wondering is- if the Invaders are comming to the modern day, will we also see a Silver Age Bucky? Did the sidekicks even count as part of the Invaders? The sidekicks were part of the Invaders, I'm sure. Toro and Bucky were both active members. You can see Bucky's arm beside Cap's left arm on that Ross picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 If this is the plot device that they use to bring back Cap, wouldn't that completely fuck up the 616's continuity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2007 Not like Marvel's continuity isn't messed up anyways with Cap. Does Marvel still stick to the story that he was thawed out around the time of the Vietnam War? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tsukuyomi Report post Posted August 18, 2007 I believe every time someone comes into the future or goes back into the past, they create a new universe. So this wouldn't be the 616 Capt and Bucky, but only from a Universe that, up until that point, is remarkably similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does Marvel still stick to the story that he was thawed out around the time of the Vietnam War? I believe so. I think they still also say that Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan fought then too (or whatever war they were in. They usually use the theory that Fury is actually genetically modifying himself to keep himself "young". I'm sure the Super soldier serum is keeping cap more youthful too. Who knows what anti-aging experimentation the soviets did on Bucky...*cough*.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2007 Marvel uses the idea that Fantastic Four #1 is the beginning of time and that it happened roughly 10-15 years ago. They explained the Captain America comic books post WW2 as it being a new Captain America. Steve's death/freezing wasn't publicly known and they brought in a new Captain America for national morale purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luke-o 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2007 I picked up the Fallen Son comic I was after (Spider-Man) and I must say that it has been an awesome series, I really really enjoyed it. Im also liking where Transformers/Avengers is going too, despite the naff cover for #2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tsukuyomi Report post Posted August 21, 2007 I thought the Fallen Son series was hit or miss. I liked the first issue, the second issue was really meh, third issue was okay, fourth issue was blah, and the fifth issue was excellent. I thought that the continuing stuff in Captain America was much better, especially on the 'Anger' and 'Depression' things. But, personally, Tony's final sendoff really made the entire series.

luke-o 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 I actually thought the Spider-Man one was really good, the tranistions between his fight with Rhino and the Hulk were awesome. But you're right, the Iron Man one was superb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke-o 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 This week: Transformers/Avengers #3 - Again very good, really looking forward to the conclusion Iron Man: Enter Mandarin #1 - Not great, very wordy and slow moving. Next issue could be good though And I got Daredevil #100, but not had a chance to read it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2007 A weird-team of Avengers (Red Costume Spidey, Wolverine, Falcon, Ms. Marvel, Captain America...) get exposed to some gas that makes them incredibly hostile and pick a fight with the Transformers. No joke. It's not good. It's not awful, but it's not good. And non-continuity, I'd assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke-o 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2007 Its a bit more complex than that, I'm fairly sure the comic has been released now to coincide with the movie, but it is a bit out of date considering Cap is leading the Avengers. But the basic premise is that Megatron and his decepticons have a new machine that makes them more powerful using super-human DNA. They capture Spider-Man and use him. The rest of the Avengers atempt to save him, only for the Autobots to show up and try to solve things. Then, as UTSHU expalined, they fight but end up on the same side. Turns out Dr. Doom has helped out the Decpecpticons, only for them to turn their backs on him I quite like it, it's a good read and it's a bit of fun.
