ARE YOU CRAZY??
2007-07-20 11:59:42



You haven't read Eternals #1 yet? Yes, I know it's not Uncanny X-Men, but it comes out of the X-Office, so you know it's gotta rule. Eternals comes out today, so if you haven't already, RUN OUT AND GET IT!
:o(
You guys keep teasing me with this great art. I want to get my hands on a copy so badly. Thank goodness I'm going to be near a comic book shop tomorrow or I think I'd go nuts. >_<

very cool
This was a solid first issue. The source material dosen't seem dated at all and the art is refreshing. There's even a nice Civil War tie-in cameo by... This should be a great mini-series, hopefully leading to a longer run.

Great
Outstanding first issue. I agree with themill, hopefully this will lead to a longer run.

quick refrence?
Where do I get the background info for this mini? I have seen the name over the years but that's all I know. I want to know more before commiting to the series. I'm 'reloading' my pull list don't have any x-books as of June and want to know how this is or is not an X related title.

Cosmic connection
Eternals numero uno was pretty good the pencils are Amazing J.R. jr is a heavy hitter in the Marvel U. He is the modern equivalent of Jack "King" Kirby.
Being that the Celestials created the Eternals it would be cool if there was some cosmic crossovers in a ongoing title with adversaries such as galactus or howsabout some conflict with those creepy inhumans.

Will it continue?
The praise for this book is not a suprise to me what-so-ever. Not only is the art great, but the story has you in a position that you want to keep reading. My only questions is, will this be something that can continue past six issues? I think there is a lot of potential here.

CIVIL WAR
Civil War has reached Professor Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Youngsters and the 198 have decided to take up arms against the Sentinels keeping watch over the remaining mutants in Civil War: X-Men #1. In this issue we will see the reunion of the surviving original X-Men as Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, and Beast try to quell the 198 insurrection.

X-WAR
The X-Men have been spread thin following the Decimation of most of the world’s mutants and the tension has finally reached its breaking point in the pages of Civil War: X-Men #1.

Spider-Man
The Avengers were disassembled and then reassembled with a new team, including Spider-Man. He died, then came back with new powers. He got a new costume.

CIVIL WAR #2
In order to come out in support of the Superhero Registration Act, Spider-Man (after a discussion with his wife and aunt in an issue of Amazing Spider-Man) went to a press conference where he revealed his identity not only to the government, but to the general public, pulling his mask off and revealing himself to be Peter Parker.

If you know anything about comics fandom, you won’t be surprised to hear that this has gotten quite a vocal reaction from readers. Peter David, in an attempt to keep people from revealing spoilers elsewhere on his blog, devoted a post to discussion about the revelation.

This is the sort of thing that doesn’t really bother me. I have a reasonable amount of faith in two of the regular Spider-Man writers (J. Michael Straczynski and Peter David), and while admitting it might get me lynched by a good number of old-school Avengers fans, I’m also enjoying Brian Michael Bendis’s New Avengers, and I’m interested to see how all three of those writers might address this revelation. Besides, this being comics, I can think of a dozen ways to undo this (my personal favorite is having Ben Reilly return and stand in for Peter Parker at a second press conference, where Peter-as-Spidey shows up, and they reveal some reason for the “fraud”).

I do have to confess, though, that I’m a little distraught by the recently revealed cover for Civil War #5, which seems to reveal that some of Spider-man’s biggest bad guys are coming after him now that his identity’s been revealed. Many of Spider-Man’s biggest foes (the Green Goblin and the Venom symbiote included, and they’re two of the three featured on that cover) already knew Spider-Man’s identity. To have them suddenly attack him after this “revelation” seems… contrived. I’m reserving judgement, though, even though Mark Millar (who’s writing the Civil War title) is only a couple of notches above John Byrne as far as Spider-Man scribes go in my book (he writes other things well, which puts him far above John Byrne in general, but I’ve not liked his Spider-Man). The story might still be told well.

So, in general, my stance is to reserve judgement on this storyline, but I’m cautiously optimistic about the potential for a good story

Discovering Wolverine's Origins
Following the events of House of M, Wolverine regained all of his memories. The false details of his life, implanted by the Weapon X program, are gone. Wolverine remembers everything. As Way explains, Origins is "the untold secret history of Wolverine. This is the stuff that's always been suspected and always talked around, but never talked about."

WOLVERINE'S ORIGINS
How does WOLVERINE: ORIGINS differ from Logan's current series? Marvel Editor Axel Alonso chomps at the bit to spill his guts to curious readers: "Well, as we all know, in the aftermath of HOUSE OF M, Logan has regained his memory. He knows his past -- all of it. Armed with a clearer sense of who he is, why he is, and who done him wrong, Logan's got a whole new set of priorities. WOLVERINE: ORIGINS will see Logan don his brown costume and embark on a private mission to set wrongs right, get some revenge, deal with some demons, rekindle some lost relationships, and come to terms with major revelations about the complicated tapestry of his origin...and the patterns he seems doomed to repeat."

"In short, fans should expect major revelations about Wolverine's past."

Gotta Love The WAR!!!!
Hundreds of children have died. Captain America is a fugitive. Iron Man is once more a government lackey, and he is hunting down his fellow heroes. Spider-Man has revealed his identity to the world. Marvel has only published two issues so far. Each chapter of this amazing blockbuster gets better and better

CIVIL WAR FRONT LANE
If you read Civil War then you should read Front Line. While Marvel is correct when it says that the main series can be read alone, they neglected to mention that this series, helmed by Paul Jenkins and Ramon Bach, fills in so much back story that it is necessary for any fan of Marvel Comics. Full of great surprises and touching moments, this is not to be missed.

Peter Parker in the WAR!
Make no mistake about it, Spider-Man is the focal point of Civil War. Iron Man and Captain America might represent the ideology of the fight, but Peter Parker is the one being torn at from all sides. Amazing captures that inner-turmoil to a near-perfect degree, making it one of the most important tie-ins to the summer mini-series. Be sure to pick this one up if you care about Spider-Man's fate.

~JOKA~
A cargo ship churns its way across the Atlantic, only to be intercepted by helicopter-borne terrorists. The crew manages to get off a mayday, but the ship is captured without a fight.

Meanwhile, in an unknown location, Joka broods about whether or not he can continue as Dog Track Employee and Superhero. Mera helpfully suggests he give up the Dog Track. Their conversation is interrupted by SEVEN - NATO has an urgent message.

The message? Kiss a bunch of your people goodbye, Joka, because we're gonna blow that captured cargo ship out of the water over your primary food source. Turns out the ship is carrying radioactive materials, and is heading for a terrorist camp in Africa. So sorry, but hey, you've got 28 minutes before everything goes glowie.

Of course, Joka isn't going to just accept that. He's off. After that, He summons two grey eagles (being eagles, they're under his command) who drop him on the speeding missile.

Joka is able to quickly disable the missile... and cut to an interlude back home in the underwater city. Two councilors discuss what will have to be done to get rid of Aquaman so that Atlantis can join the community of nations as an equal.

NATO's not happy the missile's gone down, but hey, maybe if we give Joka an hour he can come up with something.

Sure enough, he can. His first attempt is to use his beast master powers to summon a random collection of creatures, but they can't help as the water around the ship is radioactive. The second plan is more successful.

With the help of The Celtic Legion, Joka is deposited aboard the ship. He sabotages the engines which in turn draws out the terrorists. A few minutes of hand to hand action later and the ship is in Joka's control.

NATO's second missile is called off, but Joka's royally pissed. He's off to give NATO a piece of his mind, and a piece of his fist. Boo-yah!

" but it comes out of the X-Office, so you know it's gotta rule."

Good to see Marvel has retained its classic sense of humor after all these years.

did mutants and dinosuars exist in the bible

Posted by tarhaun on 2006-07-25 22:59:31
An idea about a new x-book
Just an idea, although i have the concept and the cast members. The title will be called "Section-X", any of you guys at Marvel interested at this??

Posted by darque24 on 2006-07-27 08:28:08
dar answer my qustion
please

Posted by tarhaun on 2006-07-27 11:41:36
More blogs...
I think the fact that Eternals #2 is out justifies the opinion that this blog needs to be updated more frequently.

Current X-Titles
I just thought I would say that I am loving pretty much every X-titl today. I am paricularly happy that so many of the New Mutants/X-Force charcters are finally getting some respect and being bumped up to the majors. Please let us see Moonstar, Sunspot and Karma in the future. Maybe Empath and Magma can show up in a title too, other than that great jobs all around.

Posted by KingRambo912 on 2006-07-28 22:21:37
Section - X
Section-X, it is a team of mutants that have an objective to handle mission to sensitive even for the x-teams. Such as sabotage, espionage, media manipulation, assasination etc. This team are so secretive even members ox the x-team knew they exist, although they knew some of the members. Wanna continue??

Posted by darque24 on 2006-07-29 04:56:29
dar they have that it's called
x-factor

Posted by tarhaun on 2006-07-29 10:53:30
not so
Isnt X-factor a goverment sectioned x-team? That mean they're been recognized, my idea is about black ops x-team that wasn't like x-factor in the past who secretly recruit and saving mutants, the section-x task to find, seek and eliminate threats both in mutant community and humans.

Posted by darque24 on 2006-07-29 14:16:46
now u r mixing x-men with x-factor
find and eliminate therats to mutants and humans the x-men do that and investigate stuff the x-fator does that so get ur facts straight before u scerw with the x-titles

Posted by tarhaun on 2006-07-30 11:54:03
but not daring enough
first of all the x-men main goal is about recruiting and protecting mutants. They never eliminating threats by manipulations or assasinated anybody, and i never said about my idea for the new x-title (section-x) involving investigations, my idea is about a more proactive and aggresive group of mutants doing black op missions using questionable and disapprove methods, section-x is more than willing to cross the line. to describes it, this group is like "mutants meet ghost in the shell", a bit inspired from Japan anime.


Posted by darque24 on 2006-07-30 14:44:30
yeah
the X-men acutally have a goal and there way cooler X-factor just try to pose as them when they come in and investigate

Posted by coonert on 2006-07-31 01:17:12
fine
all of the x-team have a goals, but my idea is this section-x also about protecting mutants AND humans along the way, BUT they are more secretive than any of the x-teams by using extreme, questionable and disapprove methods even to the x-men standards or x-force even. And willing to cross the line that separate between the good guys and the bad, such as assasination etc. Besides, is only a concept i propose to the x-office. If they're interested or not is fine with me, after all this is the house of ideas.

Posted by darque24 on 2006-07-31 05:00:20
Shhh!
The X-Office is sleeping.

Posted by Lonesome Pinky on 2006-07-31 19:39:36
