Dark Reign minis

[Trey]

Which ones are you getting?
Which ones are you going to look into getting in trade?

Here's a list of the mini's (almost all are $4)

New Avengers: Reunion (we'll include this post SI adventure)
Dark X-men: The Beginning
Dark Reign: Hawkeye
Dark Reign: Young Avengers
Dark Reign: The Sinister Spider-man
Dark Reign: Mr. Negative
Dark Reign: The Hood
Dark Reign: Electra
Dark Reign: Lethal Legion
Dark Reign: Zodiac
Dark Reign: Fantastic Four

I bought Reunion and will look into getting the trades for Electra, FF, and The Hood, and possibly Young Avengers. I am tempted by most of these though. MUST RESIST Bachalo art on The Sinister Spider-man.

[Chino]

Already picking up Elektra and FF. Both are excellent. I'll be picking up the Sinister Spidey and maybe Mr. Negative.
Oh, forgot the X-Men one.

[Assemble]

Lethal Legion and the Hood are the main ones... But i've already started with Young Avengers, and its good

[Beast]

I'm skipping most of them. As they really seem pretty pointless.

New Avengers: Reunion - I figured it would be fairly important. Didn't really turn out to be though. But it was a good read, to get up to speed on Mockingbird again after so long.

Dark X-men: The Beginning - Getting it due to the crossover. And I like the idea of doing a seperate mini to detail the characters and why they're on board. And yay, Dark Beast!

Dark Reign: Young Avengers - Love the Young Avengers. And I have hope that the Young Masters of Evil that the book is introducing will pay off. Not a fan of Paul Cornell's work though.

Dark Reign: The Hood - Would have been a major pass, if it wasn't for the writer. Jeff Parker can pretty much write anyone and he'd make them interesting. He really deserves a core book.

I might get the Mr. Negative mini, since Van Lente has rarely disappointed me and I want to see the White Dragon and the other obscure Spidey villains. Lethal Legion could be good, but Tieri can be very uneven and 4.00 is steep for a misfire. I have never really been a fan of Joe Casey (nothing wrong with the man, his stuff just doesn't click with me), but Zodiac does look intriguing. Might trade wait, or quarter bin wait. They get there a lot sooner than you ever expect:wink:

All of them except for DR zodiac, FF and Young Avengers. I'm not sure about the DR X-men one though. Anyone know how relavent the x-men one is suppose to be to the actual x-men, DA crossover?

[JohnShil]

Dark X-Men: The Beginning
Dark Reign: Hawkeye
Dark Reign: Young Avengers
Dark Reign: The Hood
Dark Reign: Zodiac
Dark Reign: Fantastic Four

I'll be getting all of these in trades solely because of the creative teams.

[ANewHope]

Already getting or will get:

Dark Reign Xmen

Dark Reign Hawkeye

Dark Reign Fantastic Four

Dark Reign The Hood.

Still deciding on but really want to check out:

Dark Reign Mr. Negative

Dark Reign The Sinister Spiderman

[Gitaroo_Dude]

In singles:

Dark Reign: Fantastic Four- Gearing up for Hickman's FF run

In trade:

Dark Reign: The Hood- Big fan of Jeff Parker, and it'll be nice to see a writer return to the BKV roots of the character rather than Bendis' interpretation.

Dark Reign: Hawkeye- Diggle has a knack for writing nasty characters, and I love Bullseye, so this is a no-brainer. Not too happy with the artist they chose, but he's not a deal breaker.

Dark Reign: Young Avengers- The art I've seen is fantastic, and I like Cornell.

Dark Reign: Mister Negative- First, Van Lente is a great fit for the ASM universe. Second, the art looks great. Third, it's featuring z-list characters like Spot and White Rabbit, which is awesome. And fourth, Mr. Negative is a cool character that could use more fleshing out.

Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man: Bachalo is easily in my Top 3 artists, so I'll probably pick this up just for him. Unless Reed's writing is totally bad, I can't pass this up.

So yeah, if it wasn't for the ridiculous $4 tag on all but one mini, I'd be getting a lot more of these in singles.

[Grapeweasel]

I haven't enjoyed a second of Dark Reign.

But I'm an idiot.

So I'm getting all of them.

In contrast, I love Dark Reign and really wish this storyline could go on for years. It's fascinating to me. However, while several of these minis look promising, that $4 price tag is keeping me away from all of them. The Reunion, Hawkeye, Hood, and Sinister Spider-Man would be the stories that interest me most.

[chastmastr]

Hate Dark Reign.

Like Tieri, Van Lente, Parker, Cornell, and Casey.

Have limited funds which are already going to the huge bunch of books listed in the thread on my sig.

So will probably get, when I can afford it, as back issues or in trade paperback form, Lethal Legion, Mister Negative, Hood, Young Avengers, Zodiac, and Dark X-Men The Beginning.

New Avengers: the Reunion - Secret Invasion left me really wanting to see the follow-up to Mockingbird's return, which is surprising since I never cared about the character before. The book didn't go where I expected it to, but it was still a good read.
Dark Reign: Fantastic Four - Had to give this a try. I wanted to get a taste of what Hickman's Fantastic Four will be like and I've been underwhelmed by Millar's run.
Dark Reign: the Hood - This is the one I've been waiting for. Since the Hood reappeared leading his Syndicate, I've been wanting a good story on him. Haven't really gotten that kind of focus in New Avengers and I think Remender writes him pretty poorly in Punisher.
Dark Reign: Young Avengers - It's the Young Avengers. I'll take what I can get until Marvel wises up and puts out their ongoing series again.
Dark Reign - Elektra - It looked interesting, and it's been an alright read so far. I'm reserving judgment on it until it ends.
Dark Reign: Mr. Negative - I have no idea who this is, but Van Lente is writing. That's enough to get me to give it a try. I did the same with Marvel Zombies 3 and All-New Savage She-Hulk and wasn't disappointed.

I also gave Dark Reign: Hawkeye a try. It was a fun read and all, but it didn't feel like it was building to anything of any substance.

[Magneto Rocks]

X-Men and FF definitely... I'll almost certainly pick up 'Sinister Spider-Man' for fun. I got 'Hawkeye' #1 and 2 and enjoyed them but due to financial constraints, I don't think I can keep it up.

[agrich]

I bought the first issues of both Hawkeye and Elektra.

Didn't buy the second issues.

[Methalius]

I've gotten all that have been released so far except for Dark Reign: Electra & Dark Reign: Fantastic Four.

I really have been enjoying Dark Reign: Hawkeye, Dark Reign: Young Avengers &
Dark Reign: The Hood. I'm looking forward to Dark X-men: The Beginning, Dark Reign: The Sinister Spider-man, Dark Reign: Mr. Negative, Dark Reign: Lethal Legion & Dark Reign: Zodiac.

New Avengers, the Reunion wasn't great for me though. I could have missed it and I would have been okay with that.
