I really really enjoyed SW2

Was SC WARS 2 as awesome as it's being hyped or is it just good.

 

[Tomie]

Eh, it's not as much of a "cross over" as Deadpool, Cap, and Wolverine, but Remender/Opena's run on Uncanny X-Force was pretty good.

The team starts with Archangel, Deadpool, E.V.A., Fantomex, Psylocke, and Wolverine but sees Deathlok and AoA's Nightcrawler join the team during it's run as they bounce around from the 616, AoA, a splinter future, and Otherworld, throwing down all along the way. Remender writes a good, funny Deadpool and Opena's art is outstanding.

Thank you so much, I'll see if I can find it.

No. It was good tho. A surprisingly prolonged buildup for a relatively modest reveal. The buildup was great IMO, the reveal...meh.

I also took offense to how they've portrayed Sinister. They have strayed from his better qualities sine the end of Uncanny X-Vol. 1 and I'm not ashamed to say it bothers me.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Nightcrawler. I would love to see what they could do with him solo.

Nightcrawler has a lot of potential. They really went overboard with his swashbuckling fetish. It reminds me of the Christmas my mother bought me 1000 pieces of Boston Celtic paraphernalia from socks to action figures because I liked the Celtics.

There has been a Shooto Panama sighting!

I think starting with the New Avengers/Illuminati.

it does get confusing as all hell but that's just me.

You can actually buy the tpb that will catch you up.

Tbh, I think that's going to be a waste of time and money. I could catch you up in about 5 sentences.

I'm reading "Demon in a Bottle" right now. Trying to think of what marvel arc I want to jump into after that on MU

He was originally supposed to be a DC character and I'd love to see him in Gotham as a stand alone character. I always thought they should trade nightcrawler for shazam, because captain marvel would work well as Marvel's superman, better than Sentry, and DC could use another cool street level villain.

I don't know about the swashbuckling fetish you're talking about, the last nightcrawler I was interested in

Spoiler

died in the ultimate's line. He used a machine gun and was trained as a solider from his childhood, also hated gays and was a staunch catholic. It was interesting, then they just blew him away without much thought.

 

[Magooglie]

They should have Bendis and Millar go head to head in a write off. Give them an obscure hero and see who writes a better story for them. No holds barred. Retcons allowed. Pick 100 comic fans for voting, and may the best book win.

Bendis gets Spider Man. Millar gets Captain America. Oh wait, Millar won that!

The Ultimate Universe wasn't given much thought.

No. As good as Ultimates 1 & 2 were, Ultimate Spider-Man is 130 issues of excellence.
Bendis wins.

It was just rehashed young Spider Man. Spider Man was so bad in the late 90's (and years bordering) that anything with a decent story that followed would have been considered great. And that's what happened. The Ultimates succeeded in the goals that the Ultimate line intended. Cast the heroes in a new and invigorating light. Captain America got his mojo back. Ultimates needed just 27 issues to be the best. Millar is the best! The Ultimates is the best!

PS Hitchy > Mark Suckley.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Ultimates 1 & 2 was 27 issues? It didn't seem that long.

 

[Magooglie]

27 issues of Bendis-stomping greatness. DC should have let Millar reboot their films. They're fools.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

2 stories, evenly distributed amongst several major characters. Great stuff.
130 issues of teenage angst meets superhero problems is far more impressive.

You must love twilight.

Kick-ass is also better than Bendis.
