TENIME_art Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Since Serenity, I have wondered how to pronounce "Chiwetel Ejiofor"s name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Chi-wet-ill Ay-jo-for? That's my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think I have heard it pronounced with the 'j' as silent. Ay-Oh-for. Not sure about the first name, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I've never been a huge Deadpool fan but I'm addicted to the 'mates for some reason. I'm usually a one-of-each collector but having that extra Marvel NOW Deadpool gives me an extra Wade to put inside that Phonics-Killer Iron Deadpool so I can display the X-Men First Class 'pool separately. And I agree with stack32; this assortment includes a truly terrific Spider-Man. Best tampos I've seen on this character's costume in a long time. Good job, AA. I may display this guy and put another extra Spidey under that Cableware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wave never piqued my interest (big a Deadpool fan as I am, I don't need each and every one of his costumes), but I might have to hunt down that Spider-Man. My dream costume was always red and black with blue highlights, so it's great to see the Torment mate essentially get an update. Now if we could just get a great Spider-Man book again... Re Doctor Strange: The current book is utter trash, so you're better off waiting for the inevitable relaunch. The first 10 issues or so were Aaron's God Butcher arc, just shorter and with different characters. Besides that, the characterization of Stephen was awful, and we're back at "Strange doesn't have his magic, whatever shall he do?!". If you're a newbie it ain't bad, but for longtime Strange fans, well, yeah... You're better off trying your luck with the sister title, but that's gonna get canned after 6 issues, most probably.

DSTZach Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Like I said, I'm a newbie, having never found a Strange book interesting before, so the new series is very enjoyable, at least the first few issues I've read. But then, I've never read God Butcher, having felt the same way about Thor. But I recently checked out some Moon Knight, Black Panther and now Thor books I'm working my way through.

It's not a bad book, and the characterization has improved, but it was very lazy of Aaron to just copy and paste his work from God of Thunder. But, the October solicits look pretty good, what with bringing Pandemonium, Nightmare and the like back. As for the other two, MK's current book is one of the best out there. Black Panther is good, but most hardcore D hate it. The reason is because again, it portrays T'Challa as pretty much an idiot and an unfit ruler, coupled with a revolution story we've seen many times. For my money, I'd check out Priest's Panther, Moench's Moon Knight and the early Ditko stuff for Doctor Strange. From then on, I'd just make my wave to Huston's and Ellis' MK, Liss' Black Panther and all of Strange's second ongoing. As a side ore, one of the best current Marvel books is without a foubt Carnage. It's a homage to Tomb of Dracula and 70s Marvel Horror, and it's just a wild ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for the trades collecting the stuff Steve Englehart and Roger Stern wrote. They are great. Great artists too, and Englehart worked with Frank Brunner and Gene Colan and Stern with Marshall Rogers and Paul Smith, among others. And if you like Silver Age comics you owe it to yourself to read Ditko's originals, as I'd put that stuff up against anything from the era. Seriously, Doctor Strange is one of those characters people tend to knock without having actually read any of the comics, which were often among the best being published at the time (Aquaman is another).

bigvis497 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Doctor Strange is being added to the Epic line this year so hopefully more people will check out his stories. I second the Stern/Smith run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum effort, Zach! This. I saw the packaged pics that were posted on the DST Facebook page and giggled at "Includes Pointy Hair". I think I'll be keeping that set MIB just because of the pointy hair bit. It tickles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I wanted to bring some Deadpool irreverence to the packaging. I think I did something similar for 65. And the upcoming Squirrel Girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Can someone explain Spider Man wearing the Cable gear. I know it's from the cover, but what was his reasoning for wearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't think he actually wears it in the comic. The cover is supposed to mimic the Cable/Deadpool covers, I think. The only reason he has it on is because Deadpool thinks it's funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chigarillo Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Stopped by TRU (Rochester, MN) today looking for the Civil War exclusive (no luck) but they did have brand new cases of these out. Anyone still looking for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Wow, my TRU is behind. This wave just hit this week. Got the Hulk and Spidey packs, picking up Wolvie next week (damn toy budget). Really well done wave, loving them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
