Comic Book Question of the Week Results: Favorite Current Big Event

Good event of course. Just wish Trinity War hadn't have been the springboard to it, but hey that's just me.

This.

And also, the Outsiders aren't even active in the New 52 so forget about them. It's literally Stormwatch (and who knows what the fuck is going on there), Teen Titans (seems like they're gonna fight the Syndicate next month, then get thrown into the timestream), the reverse (or whatever they're calling it) Suicide Squad (with Power Girl and Steel as the only two announced memebers) who will be fighting the regular Suicide Squad, and the random heroes littered throughout the DC Universe. We've already seen Nightwing get taken down, but we know he gets back on his feet here in the next few months (he's featured prominently on the cover of Justice League 25). Martian Manhunter and Stargirl over in JLA, Constantine in JLDark. And that unknown person in the Batsuit (my personal bet is that it's either Dick or the Joker [don't hate]). But beyond them, there are no Justice League members left out there.

infinity is a space opera and it sucks so far ....please read annihilation and annihilation conquest for a marvel space opera done right... the avengers flying around space is so stupid i swear ...its getting redundant between AvsX and avengers assemblessecond story arch featuring thanos they've been in space over and over ZZZZZZ captain america in space zzzzzzzz

For all those interested, here's a complete list of all the villain names (click to enlarge, or follow the link here):

@superbat420: Agreed. This is an opinion blog marvel fans are pissed for no reason, just because you think that event is the best dosen't mean everybody has to follow you.

lol

You, since you're doing the exact same thing.

People take time to spread on their negativity on as thick as possible in a attempt to persuaded someone they don't even know instead of spending that time to read more comics. Who is the real loser here?

I've only been reading monthlies for almost a year. And the events I've witnessed, off the top of my head, since starting are:

Throne of Atlantis

Death of the Family

Rise of the Third Army

Forever Evil

Battle of the Atom

Infinity

Age of Ultron

The Enemy Within

Harbinger Wars (Valiant)

Now, you tell me, would this intimidate you if you were a new fan? Would it be hard for you to find the significance in this type of "epic" storytelling if it happens every month? For me the answer is yes, on both accounts.

So, in short, I haven't even been reading monthlies for a year and I already know and fully appreciate this thing called event fatigue. Please, dear comic industry, ease up on me. I like you, I do, but why must you smother me so? You're like a person I went out with that one time and we both kind of liked it, but when you keep calling me and incessantly pestering me over and over again, you seem a bit desperate. Please stop.

I like the speed of Infinity as of next week we will be half way through so that's good. But I will have to go with Forever Evil as I am just a DC guy at heart I guess.

And yes I am prepared for the hate I know this comment will bring.

I really like Forever Evil... And I really like Infinity... Why the conflict, guise?

I think David Finch's art on the first issue of FE wasnt very good.

Everyone complaining about forever evil, shut up you don't know a good event, my only problem is where is storm watch during all of this? Lol

I voted for City Fall

I thought Trinity War was a good idea, but not very clearly executed, and so far I'm feeling the same thing with Forever Evil, Like Marvel's Dark Reign, but less thorough and thus less impactful.

That said, I've had no interest in X-men for a while now, and Infinity doesn't grab my attention either.

My favorite event? Answer: NONE. Why? Because, in the words of the honorable Jay Sherman, and if I were to put them all together into one big package, I would say this about it:

These events are nothing more than the comic book industry equivalent of Ed Wood's WORST picture mixed with "Heaven's Gate" (1985). It also gives me an idea for a name of this comic book 'age': THE AGE OF SELL-OUTS, 'cause that's what every single character owned by the Big Two, no matter what has been done with them by a fan-favorite team (and yes, that includes Mark Waid and co.), SELL-OUTS are all that they've become. And I HATE sell-outs.

I missed the poll it seems, but I'd have voted for Forever Evil. I don't read a lot of Marvel, just Thor, Brian Wood's X-Men, Young Avengers and that's about it. The Marvel books are highly intimidating given how many X-Men and Avengers titles there are, and how they are all tied together for the most part.

I've read the two main issues of Infinity and I have to say that I'm not really liking it. The... anthology nature of each issue really puts me off.

I voted for BotA because I'm an x-men fanatic and it's been great so far but Infinity has been pretty flipping incredible so far too. I'm really excited for the Inhumans finally being a big part of the marvel universe again. Age of Ultron was such a disappointment for me so I'm thrilled Infinity has been so great so far. I enjoyed Forever Evil #1 but so far I have not really liked any of the villains month titles. I feel like none of them have really been significant and I'm mostly just ready for the justice leagues to return.

Damn, TMNT needs more love... City Fall is actually pretty good so far

It isn't so much that the "Trinity" of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman disappeared as it is that the three Justice League teams disappeared. DC isn't Marvel. Marvel has like 6 Avengers teams and 5 X-men teams among various others. DC has 3 JL teams, the Outsiders, the Teen Titans, Suicide Squad, and Stormwatch. So yes, losing three teams and having most of the Suicide Squad defect to the villains is a HUGE blow to that universe. Pretty much the only teams still on the ground are the Teen Titans, Outsiders, and Stormwatch. So while it may not have the "epic" scope of Infinity; I find it a better read because the stakes are high while still be on Earth. Some people like the giant space operas; I prefer Children of the Atom or Forever Evil.

I'm only reading City Fall, thinking about picking up Forever Evil, but City Fall is beast.

I feel it's too early to judge these events. Forever evil and battle of the atom only had 1 and 2 issues into their storylines respectively when this question was asked.

This is amazing forever evil wins? this is not a surprise mediocrity rules the world now so. i am reading forever evil but i am very disappointed the first issue was ok but this villains month is rubbish. Even base on continuity this should be difficult to happen with all those Teams out there which are almost equals to the League like Stormwatch so they just let things happen like that? come on so no trinity (Superman, wonder woman & Batman) the world goes to shit please. Infinity is better it's a big scale event and sincerely is logic so many thing can happen in the universe at the same time and which are the result of events caused by one and the same mistake (Wolverine in infinity case) so I don't think too much stories which are linked some how are too big. City fall seems to be good i will try it.Battle of the atom has capture my attention now.

EViiiiiiL!

dark reign was so different from what forever evil is people who say they are similar are simply wrong ,,,,forever evil is so good so far with only one issue that i feel like a lot of marvel lovers are hating just the cover alone for issue one is more exiting that infinity ,,,if marvel made a cover like that with all the villains like the forever evil cover ,,,marvel fans would be going crazy with anticipation .....truthfully i collect both forever evil and infinity has been boring and after age of ultron for this event to seem boring is saying alot....i hope infinity gets better ,,,i feel like thanos is wasted on this ...this dud is his big return? well lets see ...but so far im not impressed and by the 21 percent i see infinity got compared to the 44 percent forever evil got im not alone ,,,look at this blog alot of people think infinity is boring i'm not alone.

so far to me ...and i know its just a couple of issues so its to early to tell really but so far ....forever evil ....excitinggggggggggggggggggggg!

infinity ....boring ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Why did you all list Forever Evil along side Villain's Months? Yea they are interlinked but are basically two different events, with one causing the other.

Villian's Month has been an absolute mess, breaking up story arcs that came before all the mess started happening. Forever Evil on the other hand, has been pretty decent.

I voted Forever Evil/Villains Month because they are retelling or changing up the villains (I should know, my wallet is suffering). I like it because they're not trying to cram everything in each issue. Battle of the Atom was my second choice because they are making the time-travelling thing work. (X-Men always does the damn time travelling thing) but Past, Present and Future X-Men all together is quite intriguing.

Infinity was a little bland for me to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I like the Avengers series as a whole but Infinity isn't doing much for me. Maybe it'll get better...but for now, not a big fan of it.

Half a plot and eleven pages of filler. The Thanos story is great; I love the Cull Obsidian, I love the plot with Thanos' son, I love Black Bolt's central role. In between all that, I have to read this mind-numbingly overdone nonsense with the Builders on the other side of the galaxy featuring sci-fi staples that are so stapled that if you've seen them done once, you've seen them done every time. He'd be the best writer in comics right now if his Avengers run was half as good as his New Avengers run is. A slow burn with plot, high concept ideas and a worthwhile payoff is Hickman's F4 run to a tee. His Avengers run is him trying to be Morrison without any of the wit that makes Morrison fun to read.

For me, the scope of Infinity makes it my LEAST favorite of the events listed. I tend to enjoy the more "street" or "eathbound" heroes like Batman, Punisher, Nightwing, Daredevil, etc. And I'm old enough to remember the old "Infinity" events and know that they always come down to your Silver Surfers and the like, making me far less interested. It was a toss up whether I'd vote for Forever Evil or Children of the Atom. I went with Forever Evil because I like the villain month and the retelling or retooling of origins and have thoroughly enjoyed 75% of the issues. Children of the Atom may end up being the "best" because of its tight focus, but the first issues had so little happen beyond one big "reveal" that I couldn't really vote for it above Forever Evil.

And arguments like this tend to make more sense when you click on the poster's page and see that every image and every post is pro one company over the other. Its okay to admit that you're a Marvel or DC fanboy; I'm sure there's an app for that.

@citizenbane: Half a plot? Eleven pages of filler? Are you actually Reading Infinity? Hickman crams more story into a series of panels than the entire first issue of Forever Evil. Events aren't just occurring to push the plot forward, theyre developing over time to tell a complete, complex, and engaging story being crafted by arguably the best writer in comics right now. Its a slow burn, but its all plot, just like all of his other works.

Forever Evil for me, can't wait for next month!

I have to say enjoying the villian's month, didn't necessarily buy all of them but read all of them each week at my shop :) Mr. Freeze, Lobo, Joker, Zod and a few others are rather messed up. I like the backgrounds of the villians.

While this is just your opinion,bolder isn't NECESSARILY good. Just ask Lobo.

And it just seems a bit like the inverse of hero vs hero (villain vs villain).

But you are right,it's still great.

Although I think that Infinity is better (just my own opinion,though)

Infinity is great but forever evil is just bolder and new hence my vote

Same person needs to add old crummy English hats to Marvel peasants.

First person to edit an image of the Trinity so they have top hats and monocles gets.... um... a gif of applause.

They're simply striking out against the terrible DC upper class.

lol people complaining this site is Dc oriented is so funny

I read the main arc and some of the one-shot issues(not every issue lol, I can't afford forty titles), but I haven't liked them. I think that both Infinity and BOTA are much better, and there was Dark Reign before Forever Evil

I'm not reading forever evil because I can't afford to buy both that and infinity

This is DC oriented site so it's no surprise Forever Evil would get the most votes. That being said Forever Evil starts out well and has my attention.

Infinity is the greatest "event" out currently, the epic scale and plot draws you in and keeps you there. I can't wait to see how the Avengers and Galactic Council get out of this.

I don't have opinion about BotA yet, I haven't read my copy yet.

Really? how much have you read and did you actually hate anything and tell when has something like forever evil happen before exactly

I think this completely.

Although Forever Evil is also pretty good,but Infinity is just so....awesome. Finally,a great Marvel event in years.

I don't either. Apparently many people just want mindless action,and a half-ass plot with good action (in which the story ends with deus ex machina) in order for it to be a good event. At least that's what some people seem to criticize it as,in which case our senses of "a good story" are completely different.

I mean,there are some complaints about it (and it's really up to the opinion of the person),and that's their right of an opinion (no matter if I disagree with it or not),but it's just that...an opinion. One that I disagree with

But so far,Infinity is excellent.

Awesome artists,characters,interactions,plot,writing,etc...overall,it's great.

But if more people that took the poll liked Forever Evil,then that's their right and opinion.

If I were to call the book terribly written (which would just be my opinion and thus would be subjective,at least in the sense of me not liking it),then that would be my opinion (which it isn't,in my honest opinion. It's really good).

What I DO hate is when people try to state their opinion as if it's a fact. Like when they try to put others down for having different opinions or liking a certain material. I find that incredibly stupid.

It's like putting a person down for favoring the color red. An opinion is your own worthless opinion,not a fact.

And personally,the general consensus would disagree. At least in terms of Infinity.

By the way @wolverine08,this little part is not really directed at you and is mostly hypothetical. In fact,it's not directed at anyone in particular. And I apologize if it comes off as a rant and off-topic.

@hawkguy: No, that's not a joke. That's just how I felt.

should have went

City Fall

BotA

Infinity

Forever Evil

there aren't nearly enough people reading TMNT around here...especially with people continuously complaining about the Big 2
