That can be so easily misconstrued in Buzkashi-talk that I'm not even going to bother.

I haven't read all of Sandman actually, so I want to get that out of the way first. After reading vol. 7 I just went to Amazon and ordered vols. 8, 9 and 10 in one shot.

I simply couldn't wait anymore.

Im reading chronology cause im interest in how characters like Wolverine,Cyclops,Jean Grey etc was at the begining.

I have read two-three post 2000 x-men comics and i dont understand sqaut cause i dont know who the characters are.

There is many stories about Wolverine who is the most interesting to me and i plan to read them all in the right order storywise.

I have always been interested in X-men characters so i plan to read everyting about X-men,FF4,Ghost Rider,Punisher etc
.

While im low on my mangas i plan to read many comics Xmen plus superman alternative stories,Sandman(if i found seeders),Witchblade,Darkness.

Its christmas break so i have two-three weeks to read.

I have been trying to download Sandman but it doesnt have any seeders

Hm, you don't really need to read ALL of the X-Men comics. Like Femto said, it has alot of ups and downs (where its downs outweigh its ups) and there's really no point, unless you have 2 months straight to burn. The recent issues has been pretty shit, with the House of M and that event with Magneto-disguised-as-Xorn-who-beheaded-by-Wolverine-but-it-wasn't-Magneto-instead-it-was-Xorn-himself-disguised-as-Magneto-who-went-crazy thing. Oh, Wolverine regained his memory. ALL of it. I've said it before and I'll repeat myself again. There was been so many retcons and resurrections that it's becoming fucking outrageous. Even the comic pokes fun at themselves for that.

I quite liked Lucifer, Y-The last man, 100 bullets and the sort. All Vertigo comics, as you can see. Sandman is a must. If you liked Neil Gaiman works, you'll probably feel right at home with Neverwhere.

I dont have to but i wanna read everything. I wont read them all at once but read them when i have time and since its holiday soon i will have the extra time needed to X-men and other things i wanna read.

There are so many interesting characters in X-men world and i wanna read about them all.


I saw Sandman and V for Vengance in the comic store today when i went to buy Hellboy:Wierd Tales,cant say i like the art styles of those two.

Thing is, many of the best comics don't have the best graphics, and Neil Gaiman's stuff are almost all like that. His Constantine's stories? Incredibly great, but not perfectly drawn. Who cares, after all, it's the story that matters, isn't it?

There are many comics worth getting, and ALL OF THEM aren't from Marvel or DC (Except for Kingdom Come - the story with all super-heroes in the future, drawn by Alex Ross). Did any one of you read "Fables"? Search for that, is fucking great!

I won't go any further because I'm not a comics guy, I'm more of a books type (anyone read anything from Bernard Cornwell? )...

I dont have anything against bad art i have read many comics and mangas with bad art, i was talking about the style he uses.

Maybe i will get uses to it when i read Sandman.

Gaiman uses different artists for each story arc. From the relative standard comic-esque first arc, to the pretentious, artsy, awesome style of the last arc.

Thats good to hear.

By the way anyone wanna guess who the X-men who dies/people in the movie thinks dies.


I guess Cyclops.

Jean Grey was resurrected only to die in the third movie.

Thats a good guess since when a character goes evil they usually die.

Quoted for truth

I heard Xavier dies.

Check out the funeral scene in the trailer.

Notice how a certain somebody in a wheelchair isn't there?

It's tough to tell the way the scene is done. It's possible that Prof. X is behind that huge headstone, since I seem a few people who don't stand up with everyone else. Though it does look like a possiblity, it could also very well be a shot of Jean's funeral done right after the events of X2 (Except that Beast shouldn't be in there, but maybe he joined up right after X2, I dunno).

Xavier went to space to cuddle with Illandra with the Shi-ar. Heh.

Tempest has a point, the funernal might very well be after the events of X2, a funeral for Jean.

Beast (Henry McCoy) was on the Television discussing the 'mutant problem' in X2, in the bar scene where Mystique 'seduces' the fat security guard. He's also on Strucker's database of mutants. He's kind of there, but not with the X-Men, that's all.

I thought it was Hank. Hmm maybe Hank is short for Henry?

..

Maybe the funeral scene was a dream sequence of someones. And they put it in the trailer to mess with you a little bit.

His name is beast, but those close to him call him hank, like Jean-Grey.

Yes, I too grew up reading comics, in particular x-men. I stopped after the massive crossover in which wolverine had is metal pulled out and only *snikt* bones. It was just... I dunno, after they did that I just stopped reading dead-wood comics all together.

Only thing close is HeavyMetal, it has more tits, and better stories.

Dead-wood?

Paper.

Yeah, when Magneto pulled it out of him, and Genesis tried to put it back in him...yeah, that sucked.

the script was leaked I heard and they say it is Xavier that dies. A lot of people were pissed when they read it.

He will come back to life he cant die since he is the father of the
X-men.

Well, you see, it was actually a clone of Xavier that died, or a Skrull that was impersonating as him, or he was saved by the Shi-ar at the last minute before his untimely death, saving him with advanced technology, and replacing the carbon based copy with a cloning device to fool the humans and make pranks and shit hahahahahaha very funny.

Marvel = House of Ideas.

Heh i have seen crazier things happen.
