X-Crescence LIV:ing the Blues

[Brian Cronin]

Welcome to X-Crescence, which is from the word excrescence, which is defined as "An outgrowth or enlargement, especially an abnormal one, such as a wart."

Well, this is an outgrowth from the X-Boards proper.

This is where you pretty much can post whatever you want.

Civility rules apply here!

Enjoy.

OMG DAZZLER CRES

I NOW DUB THIS THREAD DAZZZZZZLER CRESSSSS!!!! WOoOOoO!

[Beast]

Reposting from Last X-Cres:
Just a heads-up if you haven't heard.

There's a scene during the credits of Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Also... J. Michael Straczynski has been tapped by Fox to pen a Silver Surfer Origins film.

And yeah Sean, I heard the exact same thing. Sweet. :D

[TheWolfOfAsgard]

What is L in Roman numerals anyway?

[1WEBHEAD]

WWH and Nova was awesome

[Brian M.]

I believe the L is 50.

[Brian Cronin]

By the by, just for the record, mocking someone for their arrogance isn't allowed, either. ;)

Yep, 50 it is!

Nah, I was just having some fun with your explanation for why you weren't baiting.

Aw, man!

I was rooting for X-Crescence LIV: Tyler.

It would, indeed.

Did you get the PM I forwarded to you?

[Beast]

It would, indeed.

Did you get the PM I forwarded to you?
Yes, I did. Got the same one from Xakko. Hoping that things get worked out soon. :(

Aye. I'm starting to have Ian withdrawals. :p

I saw my first No-Hitter yesterday. Justin Verlander threw one against the Milwaukee Brewers.

First one thrown by a Tiger since 1984!

the wife wants you to know new moats are being contructed...trauma and drama have been elevated to the nth degree...

Aw...and the first few weeks at the new place were so quiet... :(

Pity that the T&D followed.

Wow. I'm all for making fun of Bush.

True. The real thing is way funnier than a cartoon show could possibly be. :D

Not to mention it was pretty lame they basically made Cheney into Kenny. :p

[Jake V]

Has anyone mentioned so far how much ass WWH kicks?

The answer is "lots"


Also, the Avengers board is possibly the most insane place on CBR. I do not envy Bib for having to hold the reins. Literally, there are posts calling Bendis a evil thoughtless hack for writing stories that DON'T EXIST AT ALL. People are imagining scenarios and blaming Bendis for them as if they were real.

Fucking people.

Now now, MelonHead. Lets not go overboard.

Eurovision is a european tradition of countries entering song that they feel are good into a competition that is mainly defined by politics.

I have the personal oppinion about it that it is bad enough to be good TV.

In other good news. It would appear that Ellis has finally finished Planetary #27. That only took 10 years. Wonder when it ships.

Yea it's amazing how they easily predict how this'll all play out...makes me just slam my head against he wall.

[Novaya Havoc]

Sometimes things are pretty predictable.

Like Sage replacing Heather Hudson in Exiles. Heather is now out, NEX is almost over for CC, and Sage will need somewhere to go.


In other news, I am devastated Nancy Drew got crappy reviews. I was kinda jazzed. FF2 isn't doing too hot, either, and I was diggin' the previews.

I've started to learn that usually once a movie gets super-mega hype, it flops. Oh, Simpsons movie! Plz be good!

I'm praying for the Simpsons movie. I want it to be good. FF2 I'll probably end up going to see by myself. Same way I did in X3. Course that was so no one had to set through the endless, "that's not how it fucking goes", comments.

Man, I remember how much my X3 showing with my ex sucked sucked suuuucked.

Of course, for him it was all "Is that Dazzler? I don't see Dazzler. Could that be Dazzler?" and I was just to the point of "OMG I ALREADY KNOW SHE'S NOT THERE JESUS DON'T KEEP BRINGING HER UP," and then he was all in love with Colossus because my ex is easily swayed by muscles because he's a one-trick-gay-pony.

Ugh, X3!!!!!!!! I knew it would be terrible ever since the CC/lawnmower cameo. Like, fr srs?

Because of that gratiuitious cameo, I am now putting John Romita Jr. in my Dazzler movie as a clubbing guido. Maybe he can play Lance Steele. LOL.

Mighta been funny if Jean dropped a car on him. Then said something like," oops, mind control".

I was thinking about the FF2 and I wonder how you make Galactus so that the audience doesn't just laugh at it him?

Oh yeah, I understand that. I'm just amazed that there's a popular music competion where a metal band can actually pull off a landside victory.

And that sucks for Doctor Who fans. I wish I got that show here.

[Brian M.]

http://uk.comics.ign.com/articles/796/796467p1.html

First Inteview /w Bendis on NA#31. Good one too.

That said, I can promise you that the Civil War, and other giant events such as World War Hulk, happened - we did that to ourselves. There's not going to be a reveal later on that says, "Ohhhh!! The Skrulls were behind the Civil War!" That's just crappy writing. That's just bull****.

[Pach!]

There's a framing story starring a character named Ian McNee that takes the last 4 or so pages of the book and will run through the whole event. It was pretty cool. I actually had read the Marvel Fanfare story he was introduced in a few months ago so I felt cool knowing someone fairly obscure. :o

[Brian M.]

He's managed to get me really interested in the Avengers, which I used to hate· I'm really excited to see how the whole skrull thing plays out.

Well Marvel's been saying for a while, I think since 2005-2006, that they have several tentpole events that leading up to something huge. It'd be interesting to see how what other titles have been dropping clues to it. So since 2008 is the big year, I almost wonder how the X-Men will fit into it.

[Karl H]

I'm kinda excited the Skrulls are getting a big push in the Marvel U again.

and it's all because Annihilation was all kinds of kick-ass... :D :cool:

[Cayman]

People can say what they want about Bendis but man every interview he's done he's been a very likeable and knowledgeable person.

Totally. His interviews are always a hoot to read. He seems like someone who would be fun to hang out with. I wish he'd do more of his interviews with other pros for Wizard's website.

Plus, he's just a kick ass writer.

That he is!

[Brian M.]

and it's all because Annihilation was all kinds of kick-ass... :D :cool:

Bendis says that is one of the biggest reasons what is going on is now...going on. They have no planet, he says in their religion it's written that the Earth is theres. They are still pissed from losing the Skrull/Kree war. It's a very cool interview. I don't know much about the Skrull...but it sounds great.

[Dagger]

and it's all because Annihilation was all kinds of kick-ass... :D :cool:
I love, love love Annihilation, and can't wait for Conquest to start! Star-Lord looks soo awesome, and we get Rocket Raccoon in it, as well as Groot, Mantis, and Deathcry.

Whatever it is that Marvel has planned, I trust them 100% not to bone it up. This Avengers thing has me really excited.

[Brian M.]

He also mentions that folks like Wolverine and Spider-Man and Dr. Strange didn't detect them for a reason. The Skrulls have done something to themselves, they are realyl desperate, it's almost do or die for them at this in their civilization. He said the phrase last year was "Who's Side Are You On", for next year it's "Who Can You Trust"?

[Brian M.]

Anyone else get the feeling that Xavier...

BB: New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, and a big whopper in the ending of the Illuminati mini. In fact, the Illuminati miniseries opened with a big hint that this was coming…

NRAMA: Right – after the Kree-Skrull War, and the Illuminati were captured…

BB: And may have inadvertently given them the genetic keys to do what they are doing, which is different from what they did in the past.

NRAMA: And they were captured…

BB: Right – we don’t know how long they had them, and we don’t know if they got them out.

NRAMA: Wait – they all got out.

BB: Did they?

NRAMA: End of the issue, yeah – all the members of the Illuminati were there.

BB: Were they?

NRAMA: Wait – so since shortly after the ending of the Kree-Skrull War…you’re saying…

BB: Yup – that’s what I’m saying.

NRAMA: Bastard. So possibly, for what, thirty+ years, one or some of those characters could have been Skrulls?

[Pach!]

Anyone else get the feeling that Xavier...

I'm still hoping it's Reed Namor or Black Bolt. Tony being the skrull would basically mean that Civil War kind of was Skrully. Doctor Stange does a lot of magic stuff so I'm guessing he still is the Sorcerer Supreme. And Xavier, I don't know.. the guy deserves a break.. I really don't want it to be Xavier.

Wait and see I guess. Although I don't think it is him, I'd say probably Namor but then he does have a mini out right now...I don't know...course it could be none of the Illuminati...DAMN YOU BENDIS...now I'm getting all crazy and wondering about this stuff.

[Gene M.]

Pure speculation, but the Skrulls getting "what they want" from the Illuminati could be some way of replicating Prof. X's telepathy. That would make their invasion a whole hell of a lot easier.

Either way, it's gonna be awesome. Maybe this time Hawkeye won't use a jetpack.

Hopefully. I just wish Winick would get booted from the series hell from writing at all....he wrote a good book about Pedro but he'ds been awful on Batman and GA


If they are just relegating him to the background again then it leaves a slot in my pull list that Thor can fill

He needs off Outsiders too.

Perhaps if Andy Diggle is good with GA Year One, he could take over the relaunched title. Or maybe someone like Marc Andreyko.

Heh heh...maybe Grant Morrison can write him....His Batman is proving to be like his X-men run...love or hate there is no middle ground.


Kevin Smith did the best Green Arrow story since the Mike Grell run. They can leave the artist on the title. I like McDaniel.

One of the most plausible return from death stories as well.

Don't worry about Spider-Man 3. It was pretty meh. You can tell Raimi didn't wanna use Venom.

Venom is the only reason I have any interest in it. Hopefully it will be in the cheap one real soon. Don't mind going to a movie where I can order a few cocktails get loaded and make fun of the crap on the screen....

[Brian M.]

Yeah, I doubt it's Xavier. Like I said over on the Avengers board... it wouldn't make sense.

My guess is Namor. He's the only who's not really done a whole hell of a lot in 30 years.

Vemon was the best part of the whole movie. SM3 had sooooo much in it, that it hurt the movie IMO.

[TheWolfOfAsgard]

Apparently from the sound of it...Raimi didn't learn the ever important Batman movie lesson.....One or two villians at the most. The more villians that need to be explained the less time for an actual story.

The movie could have worked w/o Vemon OR Sandman...take either or out and it's a great movie.

Venom should have been the single villian in one of the movies. Sandman I've never been all that impressed by...I mean just wait till he hides in a sandbox and seend a bunch of preschoolers and cats out to take care of him.

To be fair, New Goblin had 2 movies of development. So his inclusion is fine. :)

But Venom was terrible in the movie. Raimi should have stuck to his guns and did Sandman and Vulture.

See I disagree. I think keep the entire plot but just have Sandman or Venom. You had Spider-Man start on mountain, king of the hill, man of the hour type stuff. Then slowly throughout the whole movie he's knocked down piece by piece. Then at the end you have Vemon, someone who hates Spider-Man, hates b/c he believes Spidey took everything away from him. You could feel the hate Venom had for him in the fight scene. Make that the last fight, two desperate men trying to hang on, killing each other. Or you have Sandman, someone who is just trying to save his daughter, just trying to do the right thing in the wrong way. I personally think Venom would be the best choice.

I think it's just that you're not familiar with the characters so instead of seeing a great story with tons of little tidbits in it, you're just seeing a regular story. For example Trance is supposed to into fashion and then you see her with her converse shoes and it's pretty cool. Or seeing Vic tell Match to step up and be the leader, Match hesitates but in the end tries to save Pixie. thats pretty cool because Match was the leader of squad. And you can clearly see how much Surge/Prodigy's relationship has grown.

I can see how you would not be interested at all in any of this if this is the first time you're seeing them.

[Ryan K]

It's an OK book. I think at this point (now that we're past the transitional phase) its one of the better written x-books. I mean its standard superhero stuff for the most part, but it is good standard superhero stuff. The writers tackle a lot of characters and for the most part they handle it well, and I think that's a BIG reason the book gets as much praise as it does around here. There's a lot of characters, thus a lot of characters for people to like. And X-Fans love their characters.

The big draw for me at the moment is the Skottie Young art. I like his style and it fits the book pretty well.

[1WEBHEAD]

How's it going enerybody?!:D

[Dizzy D]

I'm still hoping it's Reed Namor or Black Bolt. Tony being the skrull would basically mean that Civil War kind of was Skrully. Doctor Stange does a lot of magic stuff so I'm guessing he still is the Sorcerer Supreme. And Xavier, I don't know.. the guy deserves a break.. I really don't want it to be Xavier.

Tony would be out anyway, I guess, with that whole Teen Tony business from a couple of years ago. (I guess that would take out Reed and Namor as well.)

I can see that. I guess I should look at them as the kinda like O5. A good group of friends who have gone through hell and back. I guess since I've just started reading them I don't see the chemistry at all yet.

[Ryan K]

It was a lot better before under Nunzio & Christina. :)

Nunzio and Christina's stuff was fun, but I'd argue and least Kyle and Yost are doing something with the characters.

Yeah, mostly they're killing them, but at least its something.

Nunzio and Christina's book was kinda unique in the x-book pantheon in that nothing much ever happened. Which don't get me wrong, was fun sometimes. It was just a book with a bunch of kids at school, dealing with problems like dating a teacher, and who likes who, and "oh no a ghost"! Cute, but unfortunately in the changing landscape of the x-universe it just couldn't last. IMO, the book was getting very stale.

I was skeptical of Yost and Kyle's takeover. Especially during/after their Student Massacre stories (which still haven't seen realistic ramifications IMO). But for the most part they've delivered solid superhero stories, and if they continue to do so for another year or so, I would probably consider their work better than Nunzio and Christina's.

Ohhh, it's good. Really washes away the taste of Trials of Shazam.

I always knew you were a closet cheerleader.

I've been in the closet with a cheerleader...

[Sean Whitmore]

But seriously, I've heard alot of good things about the book but I know if I pick up one DC, I'm gonna want to pick up another, then another one, and so on and so forth.

Ah, yes. The collector's lament.

[The Fury]

Superman sucks!


Yes, I haven't said anything for a while and cannot add anything to the conversation...I just don't like superman.

Do you remember his name?

Dini's Detective Comics is also excellent.

Haven't read Morrison's Batman yet (waiting for the HC).

AND Johns' JSA is back in form.

Here's a great flash game if you're a Rocky fan.

Dan...I mean Diana...damn

Detective is pretty great. Morrison's Batman is dividing a lot of people, but I like it a lot.

I kinda like JSA and JLA, but more for the ideas than anything the books have done yet.

I knew there was pussy in that closet somewhere.

[1WEBHEAD]

Ah, yes. The collector's lament.


SEAN

Yeah. I don't think I could afford stuff like the 52 and Countdown.

Plus I've heard from the DC fans at my LCS that DC isn't as easy to jump into as Marvel is so I probably would have to the backissues to understand completely what's up.

Ha. The colorist on New Warriors colored Storm to look like Sue Storm.

It looks like they're laying down clues that Wondra could really be Jubilee.

Is Wolverine guest staring anytime soon?

If Spider-Man's not in it by issue #5, I will be shocked.

He's in the preview for #2 and the solicitation for an upcoming issue mentions him, too.

[Brian M.]

I'd say your right.

Storm's a SKRULL!!!

That would explain her choice in men.

He could just be hung like a tree trunk. That would explain it too.

Never!

It's be funny if it was revealed that one of his legs was blow off like 10 years ago. He goes to visit the X-Men and Wolverine asks him about and then asks if that's the case what's in the boot. Storm walks in all akward and bent over and Logan just goes," oooooooooooooh".

[We R. Venom]

I have no love for DC's current events. But fuck it; the Superman and Batman solo books are better than they've been in years. And really, that's all I care about.


SEAN

I havn't read Batman in a while. The only time I do read about him is in events and such. Like Hush was the last time I really read him, and in comics like Nightwing and robin. Same with Superman.

I'm a GL man! I dont know what to think of the new pink ring in GL # 20 and maybe even many more rings, but who knows, it may be good. we will see.

[Brian M.]

Amazing how in an instant Marvel has made the Skrulls popular. I mean damn, go look at the Avengers forum. Everyone saying this person is or this person isn't it. Amazing. That's good business right there.

Brain Moranor is a skrull!

Pink ring?

Jesus I hope it isn't like the pink kryptonite that showed up in Supergirl

Don't insult the Skrulls

[caney]

It's true. All-Star Superman is in a class of its own.

I agree with this!!!

The day I vote for Hilary Clinton, then you can call me that and put a bullet in my head.

Are you fucking kidding me, a pink ring? That's why I read Aquaman. It's got a very low level of goofy bullshit to deal with.
