O wad some Power the giftie gie us

Brother Voodoo is not lame!

feeds@yuku.com (comix750) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:18:29 GMT

I'm sick of hearing this, not just from this board but the whole intawebz. Brother Voodoo is cool! One of my favorite Marvel 70's creations. Perhaps even in my Top 20 or 30 Marvel characters period. Why do so many people have trouble accepting change in comics these days? People are seeing "Dr Voodoo" as downgrading Dr Strange rather than improving Brother Voodoo. The whole reason Fred Hembeck mocked Voodoo so much is because he confused him with DC's Brother Power the...

Captain Britain vol. 4: Siege of Camelot

feeds@yuku.com (outpost2) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:46:21 GMT

I think this came out in the UK yesterday (Nov 5th). As soon as someone gets a copy, could you let us know your opinion? I'm in the U.S. and plan on ordering one, but I'd like to know that there aren't any production problems before I place the order. Thanks.

I think it is Mephisto, as that would explain a lot of things!

Other opinions?

Anyone else looking forward to Siege (of Asgard)?

Captain Marvel question

feeds@yuku.com (davidbstewart) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:24:13 GMT

Does anyone know why the bi-monthly Captain Marvel was cancelled with issue 62 only to be brought back two months later in Marvel Spotlight 1? Also, with issue 62, Marvel raised the price to 40 cents from 35 cents, but still left the outline of the still only 35 cents blurb. Was this a late change? Marvel-Two-In-One 51 and Battlestar Galactica 3 have the same outline as well. Thanks.

American Ace

feeds@yuku.com (Marshall Crist) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:04:01 GMT

American Ace is a solid GA adventure strip. I have read the stories on microfiche from MARVEL MYSTERY #2 and 3. My understanding is that the character first appeared in MOTION PICTURE FUNIINES WEEKLY #1, and that first story is the same one that appears, reprinted, in MM #2. (Not unlike what happened with Namor.) Not sure if this is the case, though, and would love to know for sure. Moreover (and my reason for posting) American Ace's abruptly-ended storyline did actually continue for...

Essential Thor 1

feeds@yuku.com (rideadinosaur) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:59:53 GMT

Is there a new print of Essential Thor #1 coming out? I see there's a new #2 out.
(I know this isn't a Masterwork . . . but is there a new print of Showcase Rock #1 coming out anytime soon? I think I'm going to be a Kubert fan!)

After graduating college, getting a "real" job, moving out of my parents' house, and getting married . . . I now feel adult enough to start reading comics again!

I want to read all of Stan Lee's Marvel stuff. I...

War of Kings hardcover(s)

feeds@yuku.com (threedmart) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:34:19 GMT

I see that there is a War of Kings hardcover book coming out in a couple weeks, but it contains
the WoK series and a couple other books.

Does anyone know if they are going to collect a hardcover of the auxillary titles associated with
the WoK series like Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova?
Both the Guardians and Nova tie-ins are now out in trade paperback, but I'd rather buy them
in a collected hard cover like they did with Annhilation.

If someone has...

Criminal Omnibus or Deluxe?

feeds@yuku.com (Ferjo Byroy) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:39:06 GMT

Did anyone see this yet? It's not at my LCS. I was wondering what it was, Deluxe or an Omnibus? Glued or Sewn?

The Man gets WIRED

feeds@yuku.com (Titanic True Believer) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:15:29 GMT

Being a cheapskate, and a retired one at that, after having seen that the current copy of Wired now on sale prominently features a long article on Stan Lee, I was going to go to the library to read it, but I stumbled across it online tonight. Here it is, in case any of you who are fellow tightwads are interested in perusing it on the cheap!

Masterwork Print Run Question

feeds@yuku.com (joemaggio) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:15:09 GMT

We all know how many of the Limited Edition MMWs are printed, but are print run numbers for the regular editions available?

Is it possible that there are more Limited Editions printed than regular editions?

35 Years ago this month

Thanks to icemanjeff for the inspiration for this thread

November 1974 was a good month for Marvel comics. This is nearing the end of my favorite era of the company, 1967 to 1976. The middle of 76 slowed down the horror and western books, and a lot of the short 70's runs have concluded, so late 74 is still a cool snapshot of the, as I like to call it, Second Renaissance of Marvel.

Here are some of my...

Movie Deadpool vs Comics Deadpool

feeds@yuku.com (HighlandRay) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:28:31 GMT

I've just finished watching the Wolverine Movie on Blu-Ray for the third time and something is bothering me. I have heard people say that the Movie Deadpool is at odds with the Comic Deadpool. As someone who has never read a comic with Deadpool in it I wonder if some of you guys could explain the differences.

Was he created by Stricker as Weapon 11? Was he made from the DNA of other mutants? Is his mouth sewn shut? ..... and stuff like that.
