Captain America is Reborn

they did come up with some good shit though. thunderbolts was cool at the time ( dunno if it still is ) as was the new green goblin short lived series. i guess in the quest to shake things up they fucked shit up too. i like the new ghost rider series too.
 
Comics by their very nature are escapes from reality. I have no problem with characters coming back to life as long as the story of their revival is entertaining. As long as its not an easy copout like superboy punched a wall, i'm happy to see my heroes return.

Fixed.

House of M and Avengers Disassembled were just awful.
 
House of M is becoming a joke since almost everyone important got their powers back, yet they still don't have a cure.

I know people love X-Men but I'm not enjoying it too much. I hate the writing and pacing, and as much as I love Greg Land's art work all the characters start to look the same after a while. Plus on every page there seems to be someone with a huge shit-eating grin. I get it Greg, you can draw people smiling really good, you don't have to show me every other page. X-Force & X-Factor is all I need for my X-Men fix.

... maybe this conversation should move over to the normal comic thread now. It's a bit derailed

Did you ever even read what happened before? When Spider-man was basically a reincarnation of a Spider God in some sense and a vampire was hunting him down and ate Peter's eyeball and broke abunch of his bones? Then while in the hospital he attacked Peter again, but this time Peter grew claws from his arm and ate his face and killed him then ran off and made a coccoon out of web and came back stronger (and with both eyes)? I Wish I was making this up, but this is what Spider-man is reduced to in the past few years.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that was a silly storyline. It also caused him to ditch the web shooters and introduced the organic webbing to the comic character.

[quote name='HuBu']they are still trying to fix the whole House of M thing right now.[/QUOTE]

It sure didn't stop them from going back a year later and do a Civil War story for it(which has Bucky beheaded with Captain America's shield by Magneto).
 
I'll probably pick this up. Maybe it'll be worth more than I paid for it down the line.:) I usually just buy Spiderman comics once and a while, but I've been meaning to check out Captain America.

House of M was a joke from the get go. Two actual issues of story, while the rest being pointless chatter or just "what are so and so doing now in the House of M universe?" Plus those POINTLESS tie in issues that went no where. God, almost as bad as Final Crisis and all it's tie ins (at least that gave me Rogue's Revenge and Legion of 3 Worlds).

Though in the very least we're talking about Marvel comics and HEY everyone is getting informed on the current state of Marvel at least.

Hey, now. House of M wasn't about getting rid of major characters; it was about getting rid of Marvel's single biggest storytelling crutch: mutants. Without the ol' "he's a mutant" non-origin to fall back on, they'd have to actually think out character backgrounds, and reasons for being. If you remember the '80s mutant boom, that's nothing but a good thing, and probably the single bravest storyline change I've seen a major company do in the past ten years. It would be like DC saying "no more Silver Age nostalgia" or something.

Well, can't disagree with that. The Cap House of M issue, though, was excellent. (See what I did there? Full circle.)

I Personally like the Hulk House of M tie in, but only problem is it butted into Peter David's writing schedule for Hulk so it was just a pointless side story from a real story kinda thing.
 
yeah can someone esplain what happened to magneto and joseph? i recall after the age of apocalypse they though magneto had been turned younger but i always though it was actually magnetos son from the other universe and the real magneto was still around. did they ever meet? how did all that turn out? id also like to know what happened to the alternate version of cable from the same universe the one without the techorg virus and full psionic powers.

Wow, you're bringing back some old ass mediocre plotlines. As far as I remember Joseph died during I think it was The Magneto War storyline. My memory is a bit hazy, but I think he was just a clone of Magneto and died using up his powers to restore the gravitational field caused by original Magneto.

I Think you're talking about Nate Grey AKA X-Man who is also dead after he used his psi-powers to merge with an alien in order to save the earth in his own comic. Though I think he randomly appears in the X universe in some form or another.
