A little like the Endless with punching, but maybe a bit closer to being like Norse or actual mythologies, rather than about mythology (Gaiman's shtick). It doesn't have great John Romita, Jr art. If it means anything, it's pretty unrelated to Civil War.hcduvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271032072494870642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867660884980504124.post-272374636722416822007-06-15T10:21:00.000-04:002007-06-15T10:21:00.000-04:00yeah, hate reading stuff online, especialyl comics...yeah, hate reading stuff online, especialyl comics. been meaning to read the Heroes comics online, but just a pain in the butt.<BR/><BR/>I saw in the bookstore a couple days ago Neal Gaiman's contribution to Civil War, with what looked like the Marvel Universe version of the Endless. So made me think about buying it. But yeah, wasn't sure if it was worth it, especially not having the rest of the story.<BR/><BR/>Though partly in tribute to izicmo's profession, part of what makes me want to buy one is the covers are really well designed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546992715660985590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867660884980504124.post-32756327990347395592007-06-14T17:17:00.000-04:002007-06-14T17:17:00.000-04:00You could also plunk down for one of those dvd-rom...You could also plunk down for one of those dvd-roms with 40+ years worth of a series...hcduvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271032072494870642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867660884980504124.post-57078242074332173152007-06-14T16:43:00.000-04:002007-06-14T16:43:00.000-04:00General consensus seems to be that the tie-ins mos...General consensus seems to be that the tie-ins mostly stalled for time, and so did the first 6 issues of the main mini, so I don't think you need to read any. Scrolly down and read instead:<BR/>http://mightygodking.livejournal.com/tag/photoshopped+crap<BR/><BR/>A few of the ancillary handled themselves well, notably Amazing Spider-Man, Frontline, Captain America (Ed Brubaker: making supers in tights make sense) and FF occasionally (meaning, Reed Richards seems to be an overdetached but rational being as opposed to crazy cloning pants). Despite the main event being grossly uneven, moving forward all the individual lines are apparently handling the aftermath well...but um, you were asking about crossovers in approachable snack trade packs?<BR/><BR/>If you're willing to read not Civil War, the good Marvel slugfests were:<BR/><BR/>Annihilation--Silver Surfer, Nova, and scrubs fight a cosmic war. Cosmic War! See, already good.<BR/><BR/>Planet Hulk--The illuminati of the Marvel U. (Black Panther, Reed Richards, Dr. Strange, Professor X, Black Bolt, and Tony Stark) send the Superhuman of Mass Destruction to another planet. 12 issues of Hulk as Conan follow. Which, by the by, is the set up for the storyline that started this week, World War Hulk, where Hulk, surprisingly angry, has returned to punch things.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, both of these are only in floppy or hc right now. Stupid Marvel. I'm sitting here waiting to spend my money on softcovers, damnit.hcduvallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271032072494870642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867660884980504124.post-51786991128315309822007-06-14T14:43:00.000-04:002007-06-14T14:43:00.000-04:00so should i read it or not. and which ones?I've be...so should i read it or not. and which ones?<BR/><BR/>I've been thining about it, though at the end, just way too many titles, wasn't sure if it was worth just reading a few.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546992715660985590noreply@blogger.com
