Is Marvel Lame?

I used to like Alias as well, did anyone read that? Oh and what about that Magik limited series from about 4 years ago. I loved the artwork of that title

Are you religous?

I myself like to go with lower power char, they are more debatable IMO.

No creation arguments 😛:

Well i do believe in God, i try to go church when i can. However im far from devout. I do like street level characters as well. When i was younger i used to by Wolverines series 😄 . I dont anymore though. Some of the Marvel titles i get are Uncanny Xmen, Xmen, Ultimate Xmen, Excalibur, Supreme Power, New Avengers and Thor just to name a few. The Dc ones i get are Teen Titans, The Outsiders, Lucifer and ive just started collecting Authority and Preacher. Theres more from both companies but my minds gone blank.

I used to get X-O Manowar as well when i was really young but i stopped for some reason. 😕

I loved the Iron Man and Xo-manowar game.

I do go to church, but some people here make me want to lose my religion. 🙂

In the past 25 years for Marvel: Squadron Supreme instantly rings a bell as groundbreaking. It was the first story of superheroes getting too high and mighty and taking over. Was it as good as the later stories of the same ilk? I don't know, maybe not, but it was the first.

Maybe it wasn't really all that groundbreaking, but it did explore a different theme than so many of Marvel's current comics. The first year of Fabian Nicieza's Cable & Deadpool where Cable is, blatantly, a Jesus figure. Most often, writers and creators get kind of scared to parallel Biblical events and characters, and he told a great story.

In my opinion, Peter David and Christopher Priest are the two of the best writers that Marvel has access to, they're using PAD a lot, lately, and I hope to see them give Priest another chance. They expect his books to sell when Marvel sabotages them. His Cap and Falcon was doing great, then they relaunched Cap and decided they wanted to unify the character, and that two headlining books for him would be too much, so they axed Priest's book. If they gave him control of the Avengers, or Spider-Man or the X-Men, it would sell simply because of the brand name, and he would tell some ridiculously awesome stories.

Are David and Priest's stories always ground breaking? No. But they consistently come closer to new and exciting themes than Bendis or Quesada does.

Imo...

Marvel used to be the king... but has fallen drastically in terms of art and writing in a whole lot of cases, especially when it comes to X-Men... Portacio, Jim Lee, Lobdell, Claremont before he went senile, those were the days... now what do we have? 😘

Nowadays we have bendis waving his d*ck around wrecking half the comics he writes in... House of M is a sham imo... if it does one thing right it'll reform the Avengers because Disassembled was a mess imo... and the recent Age of Apocalypse? Terrible imo... Phoenix Endsong... Utterly pointless...

Dc has steadily improved in writng... Identity Crisis, GL Rebirth, Batman's Hush series, Verheidens work on Superman... all top quality imo...and imo has better art than marvel could ever dream of... Michael Turner, Jim Lee, Ed Benes...

There are some decent comics in marvel nowadays(that ive read), with Whedons Astonishing X-Men and anything containing Deadpool being personal favourites... New Invaders also showed alot of promise...

I think Marvel has gone the way of believing the hype about Wolverine... and thats a shame... there are so many great characters who when written properly could be stunning...

if marvel was lame why would they be the one coming out with all the
new games and movies???
and dc doesnt have cartoon series as much as marvel
silver surfer, iron man, fanstastic four, hulk, so many spider man, x men
, and so on....

and marvel video game are so much better then dc video game..
wait is there even a dc game?? except superman and batman???

true....I don't remember playing a flash videogame...Marvel killing them I mean Xmen legends, Spiderman 2 movie game are exceptional.

Marvel is more commercial, and has a bigger fanbase...

and the Batman Begins game was a rather good game...

The Hulk game was average at best, and Fantastic Four was just a more poilshed version of X-Men Legends... Spidey 2 only had one good aspect, which was the web slinging... other than that it was nothing special...

As for cartoons...

Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Batman, The Batman and Supeman... thats not too shabby...

I remember back in the day....mid 90's to be exact marvel had Xmen, Spiderman, FF, Hulk and Iron Man cartoons are were making new episodes...now they don't have jack....that's the only area DC killing at...the toon department.

I was PMed by a noob poster who said that me and you seem to be good friends on here and that you seem to be a good debator, so what do i think would be the best way of taking you down. I told them to read a variety of comics and keep on their current events becasue you through your own admission barely read comics. Wheres the malice in that?

Damn, the same guy posted me...

marvel nemesis - might be good...
ultimate spider man - ditto...
incredible hulk2 - i dont expect it to be much different than the last one...
marvel mmorpg - could be good, could be shit...
x men legend 2 - x-men legends 1 with shiny new addons...

Still...

this is about comics... not about games...

if marvel pumped their money into comics rather than whoring their products onto every conceivable medium they could do well...

so basically marvel more "mainstream" got their hands in so much stuff that their comics are become less than amazing.
