hah, fucking Iron Man, FUCKING TONY STARK!


while being one of the more waste of time series, the ending was exactly how i pictured it.


Though i do wish they actually planned the whole series rather then like bullshit us in the middle, then just showed an anti-climatic ending.


However, Tony fucking Stark is the man and wish some more heroes would have died.

They could have made it even crazier story with the premise that they had, but they didnt.

No contest.

I liked Infinite Crisis but Annihilation felt a lot more focused.

Infinite Crisis felt like a jumbled mess with dozens of characters on a single page, most of which had very little to do with the event itself.

The transformation of Richard Rider from a Spider-Man with cosmic powers into a full-grown man was ultimately the main story at the heart of Annihilation.

I totaly agree about Rider, his story is my fav part of annihilation. His mini i enjoyed sooo much.


I really hated events before annihilation cause the ones i have read has shown from not good to horrible. IC not good enough, CW horrible HOM garbage,52 has lost it glance too.


I am glad for Annihilation showing me that there IS a good event.

Did they put out the annihilation graphic novel yet? I stopped keeping up after the third comic I think. I like to the cosmic contingent of Marvel (mostly silver surfer) anyway so yeah.

BTW saw the preview for Fantastic Four? Surfer owned Torched.

Well I just bought the extremis graphic novel the other day. Man post extremis Ironman is cheap but I love it.

Aaaw dear Femtov2, if you've got time to tell people they're retarded, you'd have time to just answer the question : Isn't Iron Man post extremis in CW ? (because halfnhalf's post make me think I may have missed something about the extremis arc if IM isn't Post extremis in CW).

Bah, he'll be back next week when we find out the Captain America that was shot was a robot. No! A clone.....wait! A robot built by a clone! In an alternate universe! From the future! Marvel continuity is dumb like that.

Remember that invulnerable and invincible guy, whatshisname...er, Superman died, despite being invincible and invulnerable? And then he came back to life, like Jesus? That's what will happen with Captain America. He was shot wearing the American flag all over him, just like Jesus died wearing a cross. The symbolism will bring him back.

Or, it was some other guy in his suit. Like, an impersonator or something. Remember a long time ago, the Red Skull became president or something impersonating as Steve Rogers?

You know what this means. Now we'll have a young Captain America, a black Captain America, and a robot Captain America.

Marvel's track record of being incapable of keeping dead people dead has translated to a complete and absolute failure in causing any sort of impact on me regarding Cap's death.

This has been said so may times but it`s always true. It`s not only about Marvel, but 99% of mainstream superhero comics. You can`t even expect that anybody will be excited reading a comicbook cause no one gives a sh*t if some superdude dies/some big event happens cause it`s sure they will ressurect him/reverse the event`s effect in the most bizarre and stupid way.

If you look back 40 years than you see that almost all of characters are the same (yeah, I know, they got new costumes..cool...) plus some new overpowered guys. No one gets old, no one dies, everything keeps "returning back to normal"

Bet that all the CW stuff will be "unhappened" when some major enemy appears, the licensed dudes can`t defeat him, they realize that the need help from those "unlawfull" supes. They free them, together defeat the "evil foe" which was so evil cause he used the inperfections in registration act so everything ends up with some high-tone shit-speech about how we all make mistakes and it`s important that we learn our lessons. Everyone puts on a sad face. The end.lol

Interestingly enough, Colbert will do a segment of Cap's death in the Word. I haven't really read it so I can't comment on it. Truth be told, I don't really like Ed Brubraker too much.

Also, I haven't commented on how awesome Femto and Libaax's avatars are. I actually love the Quasar cover in Nova, that looks way cool.

Iron Man has a history of being a douche. After betraying the Avengers earlier on, under the hypnosis of Immortus, dying, and coming back as a teen, died again in the battle with Onslaught, came back again, refused to fund the Avengers after they disassembled, funding them again just to betray them in CW.

I did adore Quasar cover, wanted it as my av too but Nova was too good to choose away.



I wish they had killed IM cause we would all be glad to get rid of the douce for a while.

I never BUY EVENTS,I FRICKIN HATE EVENTS AND CW IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY.....



I rather support the things i like.


I download mostly things i dont like like events and stuff i cant find in the story cause they are too old and backreading is important.

Also download stuff to try out new things i am not sure about and 100% of things i like make thier way to my pull list.




About Cap, he has been dead over 10 times in his history and five times since 1992 and he has never stayed dead more than 5,6 months.

Femto wouldn't ask that your newbie ;)


Cause he knows just like any other comic fans, you have to read the events to understand an universe like Marvel,DC. The comics you like will be effected by an event in some way.

Weather you like it or not.



I get a sick joy of seeing people diss events cause i know they were foolish enough to waste thier money and then cry about it. :twisted:

That's bullshit.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that it's "OK" to illegally download a comic book if the story is not to your liking or if doesn't meet your expectations.

Stealing is stealing, it costs people just as much to make a comic you like as it does a comic you don't.

I bought every issue of Civil War and I have a right to bitch as much as I want if the story is not to my liking.

You don't because, well, you stole it from the respective artists.

Let me guess, you download more than what you actually buy?

I bitched a long time about Berserk.

What did that ultimately amount to?

I don't buy it, I don't download it, I don't bitch about it, I don't care about it.

Simple, huh?

If you want to support the industry then do so by not stealing shit from them at all.

The story of Civil War can be found anywhere on the internet so your "I downloaded it because I need to know what happened" is a bullshit excuse.

In other words, you're a fucking hypocrite.
