Amph ***OFFICIAL*** Comics Thread

The relationship question:

Ollie and Dinah have a very real relationship, but I am most happy when they are happy.

Otherwise, Reed and Doom.

 

In the 80's Power Man and Iron Fist had arguably the best written friendship in comics under the pen of Mary Jo Duffy.

 

HAHAHA....Avengers 3.

Spoiler

Darn you, Jason Aaron, you gave me a new signature...

“This is most verily unproductive!"

Everything sounds better in Thorspeak.

 

I inadvertently skipped this question the other day.

June 26: What one super power would you like to have?

I asked my friend this awhile back and he said he would like to read minds. I told him that's a bad idea. He said he just wanted to know if people were lying to him. I said, you'll probably abuse that power. He said he wouldn't. We had a little nerd debate about invading someone's mind and abuse of power.

Anyway, I would like to have the super power of teleportation. But not like Nightcrawler, where he's limited in range but like in the movie "Jumper." I would love to travel the world like that.

 

Well I skipped the super power too...

So that would be

Healing Factor.

 

Late to this game. But yeah, instant teleportation would be awfully handy.
The Peter Parker/Johnny Storm bromance also gets my vote.

Old Man Hawkeye 6 - bringing in a favorite character earlier than I thought made the issue for me. Otherwise, I found this issue to be another filler.

 

June 26 what one super power would you like to have.

The Power Cosmic.

THIS WEEK:

Hunt For Wolverine Mystery In Madripoor 2
The Sentry 1, most of his entire comic history is outside my ownership.
Pestilence A Story of Satan 1 and 2, this was my impulse buy.
Moon Knight 196
Marvel 2 in 1 #7
Wonder Woman 49
Thor 2
Saga 53
Old Man Logan 42
Old Man Hawkeye 6
The Hellblazer 23
Free Marvel Preview.

 

I never fully understood what that is exactly.

 

Energy projection, matter rearrangement, all at a very high level.

 

Increase physical abilities, warping space for travel, energy blasts, healing, matter manipulation, in some cases mental powers, I basically cheated using one power that is actually many. Darkseids Omega Beams would be my 2nd choice.

 

June 20: Give a shout out to your local or favorite comic book store
Tate's Comics in South Florida. I'm beyond lucky I got to grow up going there, I've yet to find another store better, let alone anywhere near as good.

June 21: What are some of the comic books you stop reading?
Amazing Spider-Man is the one that hurts. I haven't been reading a ton of Marvel in general these days. I've also fallen way behind on Copra.

June 22: Are you reading comic book digitally?
Almost exclusively, yeah. It's more convenient that way, and there aren't a ton of great stores near me. I'll occasionally go out and buy specific issues, or I'll wait for the trade for a mini or maxiseries that I know is supposed to be good.

June 23: Who are your favorite comic book writers?
Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller (pre-2001), Geoff Johns, Scott Snyder, Tom King. I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton that I love.

June 24: What is the oldest comic book you own?
Tales to Astonish #47. I picked it up in pretty good condition as SuperCon a few years back.

June 25: List your top five comic book artists.
Frank Quitely, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Greg Capullo, Frank Miller (in his prime).

June 26: What one super power would you like to have?
Teleportation.

June 27: What two characters have the best relationship? (could be romantic, friendship, working relationship, family, etc.)
Oof, that's tough. Romantically, either Superman/Lois Lane or Green Arrow/Black Canary. Beyond that, I love the relationship between Batman/Commissioner Gordon.

 

I think Bats and the Joker actually have a great relationship that keeps them vital!

 

June 28: Besides comic books, are there other things you collect? (i.e. action figures, hats, t-shirts, posters, stamps, DVDs/Blu Rays, statues, artist/writer signatures, etc.)
- Action figures
- t-shirts
- statues
- autographs
- DVD/Blu Rays

 

June 28

No, not really. I have a lot of comics from my youth because I either still like them or am sentimental; more recent stuff I pick up in trade format. I've got DVDs and Blu-rays, but I don't think of myself as a collector, I just like having films I like to hand.

 

June 28: music. I used to collect DVDs, but i've gone digital in my movie buying.

 

June 28th: Italian and Chinese genre films on whatever format I can get (and some memorabilia including imagery, t-shirts, books, magazines too). Cutting way back though with a couple of exceptions. I tend to focus in on certain cast or directors now.

Not so much music as I used to (which is all digital now).

 

June 28th: I don't know if I would consider owning DVD's as collecting, in the same sense as comic books. I do own three comic related hats, but those aren't a collection and more about a geeky, fashion statement. The "Star Wars" books would count as a collection, same with owning many novelizations. Having a music collection doesn't exactly count, since it's not limited to one specific genre of music. Like, if all I was getting was movie scores, that would count as a collection like comic books. But having a mix of scores and general music wouldn't count. I did want to keep buying actions figures as a teenage collector, but funds were limited and comics were cheaper than buying new "Transformers" figures. Then I had to get rid of what I did have nineteen years ago, so there was no point in starting up again when I could.

 

June 28:

Well, I suppose regular books count as I have several hundred of them. What is supposed to be my dining room is my Star Wars merchandise display area. However, I have not added to it in many years because not only does it already take up a lot of space but also one realizes that it just sits there. Scattered within it are some D&D figs, an Indy fedora, McFarlane Dragons, a few odds and ends.

 

June 29: What comic book character deserves a live action film or reboot?
The two that come to my mind are currently in development, which are Spawn and Green Lantern. And obviously, Fantastic Four.

 

June 29th: Moon Knight, hard R rating and based either on Monech or Huston’s run.

Or a Grell era Green Arrow movie, not a fan of CW series or the current comics Ollie (outside of Juan Ferrera’s Art).

Now, reboots? count me in for an MCU Fantastic Four with Doom already.

 

Yeah, Moon Knight is on the top of a lot of comic book nerds' list. I'd be up for it.

I forgot to mention The Inhumans as they were done dirty by the ABC network. What a horrible treatment of the characters, namely Black Bolt and Medusa. They could be some of the characters that were dusted in Infinity War.

I'm still waiting for the Nemesis film and the rest of Mark Millar's catalog of characters.

Of course, Saga is something that I would like to see adapted into a live action film, as well as Irredeemable.
