"I'll keep the physical copies and you can have the digital copies."

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

What a gentleman.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

I get the sense that Guy had a bad experience with a girl and his comics.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Well, if you count the time I stacked all my short boxes until they looked like a WNBA player, then... Maybe?

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Rather than making a horribly misogynist comment as I first read... I realize now you meant "stacked"...

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Staked?

You honestly think that I would devalue my comics like that?

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Apprently Spider-Man once fought a villain called Mr. Measles.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

He was also an anti-drug crusader in Winnipeg.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Comics got really weird for a while, didn't they?

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

For sure

I actually had the Spider-Man in Winnipeg one. I got it (believe it or not) at a youth Hockey tournament in Canada. It was in a gift bag for the players, among other things.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

It also had Power Pack and was written by Dwayne McDuffie I believe. I remember the comic very well as I believe I had it as well.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Hey, is Uncanny X-Men 500 a good jumping-on point for the X-Men?

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Uncanny X-Men #600 is Bendises last book.

It's the worst place to signup.

#601 is probably what you're looking for.

Of course since Bendis didn't even do 3 full years on his two x-titles, you could probably read all his trades in a weekend at Borders.

Is Borders still a thing?

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

500. Brubaker and Fraction. Or would the beginning of Fraction's run be better?

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Uncanny X-Men #500 was released July 23, 2008.

It's no worse than another point?

But #544 is the last issue, before Uncanny was renumbered to #1, which in a month or so is being renumbered back to #600.

Following all that editorially inspired clusterfuckery might require a hound dog.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Well, it seems from what I can gather that early 2000s X-Men was not good, aside from Morrison and Whedon. And I definitely don't want to deal with anything from Claremont. So is there a better place pre-Bendis to pick up the story?

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

I liked Keiron Gillen's run.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Kieron Gillen's run is great. Some of Fraction's run is great. If you like space Ed Brubaker's run is a must read. I wouldn't say there is a specific pre-Bendis jumping on point. I think I started reading again when Fraction brought back Kitty.

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Since we were talking about digital comic services

 

Re: Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

Still no DC?
