I haven't read enough Ellis but yeah, Bagley is pretty good, he just lacks that "oomph" other artists have.

His rendition of Spidey is great though.

Grant Morrison is supposed to be pretty good but he made me hate him with his New X-Men stuff.

I also like Paul Jenkins and what little I've read from Peter David has been great.

Jeph Loeb is OK.

I like Cary Nord. He's doing an incredible job on Conan.

Newsarama is the best site for comic books news that I know of.

They have interviews with Joe Quesada every week (Marvel's editor in chief) and previews/reviews + a bunch of other stuff.

Just throwing that out in there in case somebody didn't know.

Has anyone read 100 bullets? What a quality comic. Created by Azzarello, a Frank Miller fan, and it shows with the art. But The story and characters unbelieveable.

Have you read X-Factor,Madrox mini? Thats one of the best Peter David works.

Ellis is the master, Transmetropolitan and Fell is a must read.

Anyone know which issues are those so called Road to Civil War?

I really hope Civil War is ten times better than House of M otherwise it a waste of time.

I hated Speedball.

I also hate this costume registration act. Spidey had it right that if he gets unmasked, everyone will be all over his family. Such instances can be seen with Venom and Green Goblin.

Also read part 7 of Infinite Crisis, I'm not totally liking the whole story of it, but it does have some high points. Seems we know who the next Flash is.

civil war spoiler:

it came as a surprise to me that captain america was the rebel and iron man was the pro-establishment guy.
i always thought that captain america would be the loyal running dog and iron man the pro-free spirit guy.

it looks like most of the heroes with public identities would not mind going a step further and register with the goverment. it makes no difference to them.

i think spiderman will ditch the iron man costume and adopt his old one due to the fact that the new costume may be bugged.

Thats what i also thought when i read Spiderman 531. Civil War better have a better story than these stupid registeration act. If there isnt a bigger secret and reason behind all this,then Marvel is losing it.

From what I've read, there isn't any. No secret villain, no grander scheme, which isn't bad. I think superheroes beating the crap out of each other is good enough reason.

Anyway, I just picked up The Authority from the post office and I'm looking forward to reading that.

Libaax got me interested in Hellboy too so I ordered that a while ago.

Should be arriving in a couple weeks.

Which Authority? I have read Kev and it was awesome. I was in the store and checked out Authority.



About Civil War, there doesnt need to be super villains but i want a good story and a good reason for them fighting eachother.



My sis bought OP,Wolverine 41,Punisher 33 as a gift.


Wolverine 41 was awesome art and storywise. Being an african from one of the worst and poorest countries in the world it struck a cord.


Punisher was sweet as usuall, Ennis and Frank mas made for eacother.

I believe it's from Red Son, the sort of "What-If?" that goes into the story of Superman if he had landed in Russia instead of America.

As for Comic scans, I've been trying my damnest to find a good site, but I have come up with El Zilcho.

http://zcultfm.com/~comic/index.php is the best place for comic scans.

They have alot, you have to have more than 25 post to see all trackers.

Otherwise http://www.isohunt.com has some comic. http://www.demonoid.com/ has comics too.

I bought the The Complete Calvin and Hobbes today and man is that motherfucker heavy. I haven't even checked it out yet because I'm trying to get my breath back from carrying it between the store, the subway transfers and finally back home.

There is one thing I know for sure though: Those $150 couldn't have been spent in a better way.

Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip there will ever be.

Period.

And he was smart enough to end it when he realized that if he contiuned, the quality wouldn´t be as high.
