  • @Nova`Prime`: I guess you are the one to ask: Will I be lost if I start reading Nova now? I'm not incredibly familiar with Nova in the first place.

  • Alright, I finally read it and it was awesome. That appeared to be the evil Quasar, correct? What I want to know is where does this continue? I wasn't planning on reading the Inhumans and the Imperial Guard Realm of Kings. I didn't read the War of Kings either, just the Guardians stuff. Did I just get sucked into a big crossover story arc? I really want to continue this.

I don't really have a term for the 'new age' of comics. But if one were to become popular, what do you call the modern age? Would it stay the modern age or would it have to be renamed? It certainly wouldn't be modern anymore.....

THE SILVER SURFER!
 
I know he is a supporting character in other books like Skaar and Fantastic Four, but he needs his own book again. Unfortunately, my poll didn't go too well, not to many biters for the idea. 
 
He needs his own series, needs to use his incredible array of powers better, and maybe a few old villains returning (maybe even a return of Thanos?). First issue, he says bye bye to Galactus. I'd prefer it to be like volume 3, not volume 4. 
 
And bring back Frankie Raye! She's been dead long enough!

So I went to a concert last night at a small venue and I have to say I'm pretty unhappy with it. I've been to tons of concerts and have never had an experience such as this. The problem? I couldn't hear the band over the hundreds of singing fans. It was like a massive group karaoke. This usually doesn't matter at a amphitheater or arena, but in a small enclosed space, it makes a world of a difference. 
 
We all like to sing. But you can do it in your shower, home alone or in your car. The whole point of going to a concert is to see an artist you enjoy preform their work. Then why would you sing over top of it? 
 
So please, do the ones of us that are their to watch and listen a favor. Don't sing. When the artist holds up the mic to the crowd, that's your cue.

I mostly read the cosmic superheroes, which have some sc-fi aspects to them. Definitely my favorite.
 
I always wanted to get into Star Trek comics (maybe even Star Wars), but don't know where to start. It's also a lot to have to go and find/buy.

So I am a little confused over the Heroes Reborn story. From what I understand, after the heroes died facing Onslaught, Franklin Richards created a pocket universe in which the heroes were reborn and lived slightly different lives with different origins. I've also been told Franklin created a Counter Earth, which is where they resided. I have some questions regarding continuity and the aftermath of this event. Unfortunately, I did not read Heroes Reborn: The Return, where it may have all been explained.
 
i ask these questions in a understanding and editing stand point:
 
1. Was it a pocket universe, a Counter Earth, or combination of both that Franklin sent them to?
 
2. The heroes who 'died' in the battle with Onslaught had new origins. Upon their return to the 616 universe, did they forget all of these events? Were they reminded by someone of their true pasts? Do they live both of these lives currently? Were the Heroes Reborn origins retconned? The only example I have is when Thing came back in Silver Surfer Volume 3 and told Alicia that he was a different person now and 'needed some time to figure out who he was.' It also mentions on Iron Man's page that he retained his memories.
 
3. In all four series created to show how these characters lived their new lives, there was a normal supporting cast of characters who did not die in the battle with Onslaught. For example, Nick Fury, the Inhumans (except Crystal), Silver Surfer and Galactus. Were these all created by Franklin as well to give the illusion of a new world? Nick Fury and Silver Surfer (among others) were alive and well during these events in the 616 universe (Galactus was actually 'dead' at the time).  Should info on these types of characters be placed in the alternate reality sections of their pages?
 
4. Most importantly, where does this information fit into the wiki?
 
I appreciate and answers, comments or input. Most examples I find on the internet are unclear as to how this fits into 616 continuity. Even some people who know much more than I have told me they are not sure either. Maybe we can't decide if it is canon or not, but let's at least figure out how we can incorporate the info to the site. 
 
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I know it's a little long.

So last issue, we got a new creative team on board for the Fantastic Four. We got to see Reed Richards meet many alternate reality versions of himself known as the Council. They have one simple goal - Solve Everything. And they mean it.
 
This issue we get to see exactly how they do that and get to see them in action. We also find out if Reed from the 616 reality will join their cause and play hero in one reality no longer. We also get to see the brighter sides and the darker sides of what the Council does.
 
This is going somewhere epic. You don't want to be missing out on the revived Fantastic Four.

This is the story of a hitman who has become a target after failing a job. I won't get into the story too much, it's a little in depth. Overall, I liked what I was reading. The dialogue was well written, but there was a lot of it. I don't mind reading so much if it is done well and it made me feel as though I was on the inside with them, a part of their gang. 
 
The Killer and his ally Marciano were both likable characters, for what they are anyway. More likable than the other mobsters they were after. Also, in a book titled The Killer, I kind of expected a little more killing. But, it was only one issue, and I got a little bit.
 
I liked the artwork but the coloring for most pages was not to my taste. Many pages were all the same color scheme and I found myself blitzing through them instead of enjoying them, just to get a feel for something different. Other pages used more colors, and I enjoyed them more.  
 
I give this 3 1/2 stars. Like the story, but got a little bored on the pages with little color.
 
The story has me interested enough to go find issue 10 to see what happens. Depending on that outcome, I might be interested in finding the rest of the series.

What can I say? If you write a good story with a samurai, I will most likely enjoy it. This is the second issue in the story of the ronin Okko, who along with his companions searches for a kidnapped geisha named Little Carp. Okko is known as the Demon Hunter. Needless to say, he knows what he is doing with a sword.
 
The best part of this was that I could understand what was happening without reading the first issue in the series, even though it takes place in a fictional land in the past. The art was nothing short of amazing. The coloring set the tone of the environments very well. The characters seemed real and not too over the top, which is the case with a lot of books in this genre.
 
The only thing I didn't like about it was that I do like it, and now I have to go find the rest of the series.

As promised, I am writing reviews on all the comics I won recently in a contest. This is one of the comics I received. 
 
This comic follows Artesia, the self proclaimed queen of a land known as Dara Dess. This comic takes place in a fictional land and has MANY characters. Seeing as how this is the first issue I have ever read, I am left very confused. The style of this comic, with it's own world and character names, seems to fit together well, but to me it is another language. Therefore, my rating is based on art alone.
 
The art is dark, for it is a time of war. But, in each panel it seems the artist makes what is needed to be seen stand out. Paying closer attention, the background is very intricate, every soldier having detailed armor and the background tones are well layered. The coloring is fantastic, giving each character that extra dimension. Every panel seems to give you a view of a much larger scope of what is happening. 
 
Overall, I liked what I could understand. I will be picking up the rest of the series when I get a chance because I feel that this land is well put together, and if I had more information it might turn out to be a great story.

I can see why this has won some awards. This book is a collection of Tom Siddell's webcomic Gunnerkrigg Court. Imagine taking mystery, science fiction and mythology and mixing it all together. Then you have this book. 
 
The story is about a girl named Antimony Carver who attends a strange school. This book collects her first year. In this strange school, strange things happen. Everything from living shadows to ghosts to demons to talking robots, this story has it. Every character is extremely likable. I did not put this down until I was finished with all 291 pages. 
 
Unlike most of the titles I read, it was just simple fun. Not complex or over the top. Just strange and relaxing. You never really know what is going to happen next. When it happens, it's far from what just happened but seems to tie everything together anyway. I love the art and the creativity. I give this five stars because it was a great collection, it was unique, it left me wanting more and best of all, I got it free (thanks again ComicVine and Archaia).
 
My only regret is that this is only the first fourteen chapters and the next book is not out yet. Oh wait. I can just go to the website and finish reading the rest! This will not deter me from buying the next book though, I would prefer to have this in my own collection.

I first heard of this comic the other day when I got my Wednesday comics and picked up a copy of the Comic Shop News. The main article was on this book and it described the comic well, a story of an immortal man that tries to help humanity survive one day at a time. Naturally, after reading the article, I came to the Vine to see what everyone else was saying. 
 
It still seemed interesting and something I was looking for - a book that needs no explanations. Just pick it up and read. So of course I went to my local shop and picked it up today.
 
It was better than described. Extremely well written and fabulous art. You automatically can relate with this character, the Steward, and his struggle and motivation to help the human race. It captures humanity perfectly.....it's not perfect. The Steward has much wisdom and you get that idea instantly. But at the same time, he seems human.
 
I can't wait for the next issue and to be honest, for the moment I don't care how he came to be or if some greater being put him there for a purpose. I just want more of this. If you haven't picked it up yet, go do it. The first issue is 99 cents. That's one less cheeseburger for a great read.
