a tangled mess

just read the trade paperback of the maxium carnage saga , which has to be the most cartoonish , mess of jumbled action non sense i have read, i can see why at one point i stopped reading spider -man when this is what it fell into , between this and the clone saga which along with one more day is what was done to royally fuck up one of the greatest super heroes created . i like heroes crossing over into other books to give the universe a feel , but if you were bringing firestar into the story for no reason might have well brought in ice-man because it felt like something from the amazing friends , which i found engaging at six and seven years of age, bat man brave and the bold follow similar silliness and i can only take that show in increments, death lok was another pointless addition and it became apparent how worthless cloak is, i would kill him off if given the chance
more modern books like new avengers - which i caught up with the whole flash back sabertooth avengers arch is a distraction , from the rest of the story which is not bad , feat considering this is the avengers team we could do with out , i preferred the dark avengers over them .
then the fourth installment of the war of the green lanterns, i found to use some restraint , which is abnormal for dc titles that just seem to happen, the -spoiler - end with all the human lanterns choosing their rings was a cool moment, does it make me feel any better about the movie which looks like a really cgi'ed buckaroo bonzai - nope , but i hope other dc writers take note, wonder woman is kicking ass and super man 711 with live wire - the other title i read was pretty decent, i enjoyed it as i would like to enjoy super-man but rarely get the chance to
this weekend i will pick up my incredible hulk and mighty thor and yes be a little more prompt with them
i did see a thor preview which looked promising as it had thor kicking the surfer's butt as he should be
can't say this is the most exciting time for comics , fear itself it a fizzle compared to siege
avengers academy is the only new title to get excited about , lots of book i am blah about - what would i do to spice it up you ask?
well it's about time for steve roger's to crack the whip on the x-force, could be a good post schism arch and lead to seeing where every one's loyalties lie if it came down to avengers vs x-men- i think between all the titles you have enough avenger's teams to take out the mutant collective- you could go kinda civil war with it
spider-man , this is a tough one - i say something test peter - something has to happen post - spider island- which is stupid in and of it's self, peter need to be back on the outside looking in, something to the effect of when he lost his shit on firelord and beat him in front of the avengers to me that had been a defining spider-man moment and truth be told there haven't been alot of those since back in black where he handed king pin a beat down
ff- get spider-man out they need some one with a little more fire power - the surfer - would be too much , namor redundant ,an inhuman might work , another chick - ms- marvel might be an interesting fit or storm
capt america- his rogues gallery is stale - i would like to see him fight the sinister 6 , the mole -man, the leader somebody out of his comfort zone or take him off us soil- the mandrain could be cool as well
same thing for iron -man , the stane stark war is played out , i liked him against doc ock, throw him against maybe a ff big bad , diablo , or annihilus
Hulk- get the family out loner hulk, look at hulk the long term implications for sampson messing with his head merging personalities the break downs an every thing he has been through needs to get worse every time something like a world war hulk happens, hulk needs to have some of his gallery given a gauntlet treatment , make them care about guys who have fallen by the way side particularly during the david run- speed-freak, piece-meal , mad-man all need to see comebacks , and then throw these red -hulk villains his way on top of that, lots of gold in them hills pak has over looked
-x-men - well see the avengers - they lost the sense of being outsiders as well
alpha flight would be well worked into x-force or any team wolverine is on - give me one streamed down -x-men, in uncanny-pick 7 mix it up- old and new - lets say
Wolverine, Armor, Emma, Ice-man , Gambit , Colossus and Magneto as the leader - angel stays in x-force-, rogue into her little team with hope, cyclops on x-factor with kitty, that team is a mess -
then you have your wolverine , x-23, dead pool and daken solo titles
i think that wraps the x world
give us a dr. strange or defenders book, defenders would be a good place of all the magic character that don't fit other places, not the classic line up - but say strange , luke cage , nighthawk, dagger- because i killed cloak, black cat and son of satan
marvels fixed
