Convergence is not doing away with the new 52, it is a multiversal story but the new 52 continuity is remaining, just being rebranded.

Marvel is not rebooting, they are literally dropping a bomb on their multiverse, it's much more akin to the original crisis Dc did

I don't see this as disney burying xmen or fantastic four, seeing as Reed Richard and Cyclops and Doctor Doom are at the center of this right now.

Loved the first issue, Esad Ridic's art is gorgeous as is Hickmans presentation (as usual). Will post more in depth thoughts hopefully clearing some stuff up, once I get home from work

While I do love classic outsider Katana, I was referring to her New 52 Suicide Squad look

annnd we have our first official promo art for Captain America: Civil War

Cap vs Ironman both sporting new looks

A better look at Ironman's new bleeding edge inspired armor

Doubt we will see it in these assortments. More likely next year's Civil War sets

I'm confused? How does any of this looking "cheap" mean it's bad? They are criminals forced to go on suicide missions with bombs implanted in their brains no? El Diablo looks like a tattoo covered cholo which is exactly what he is. killer Croc looks like mob muscle with a bad skin condition, (croc ain't sposed to be pretty, there's a reason he was forced into the sewers). Harvey looks like a psycho fan girl, Katana has her signature mask and sword which I'm assuming waller let her keep, everything is probably improvised. Boomerang looks like he's trying so hard to be the shit, and his duct tape knife holder makes it lovely. Full of personality. Slipknot and deadshot seem to be the most armed so I'm guessing their senior members or wallers more trusted agents, deadshot looks like a military merc, stuff looks personalized but not to the point of super villain insanity, love the scripture on his collar. Lastly Flagg looks very basic and enchantress looks freaky.

To me all these looks scream individuality and insanity, which is what I want from the squad. Not sure what everyone expected, but this works for me

hey it wasnt me it was Aaron Taylor Johnson!

yknow

the actors for both strucker and quicksilver are both signed for multipicture deals

All that means is that Marvel contractually has the option to do something with those actors/roles should they choose to do so.

Aaron Taylor Johnson did recently reveal in an interview that:

I feel like, for that argument to apply, he should have been quoting Memes and asking to see Scarlet Witch's BEWBS

1. He absorbed its knowledge, not the people who use it

2. He did use a lot of popular culture quotes even if we write them off now as second nature (Pinocchio, The line about omelettes, or the Nietzsche quote)

3. The internet isn't synonymous with stupidity, he was still a highly intelligent AI who can make decisions based on some form of logic, unlike the the people in the Youtube comments section

I loved the portrayal of Ultron and I think the reason is...in the comics, why would they ever think a menacing looking murderbot would be a good peace keeper, like sure there are a lot of different iterations of Ultron but this one felt the most like something that if it didnt have the mental breakdown, could have been a good help to society and even a member of the team. He didnt feel like some heartless machine with programming, he felt like an extremely conflicted person who uses humor to mask his actions much like his co-creater Tony. He is also an artificial intelligence, hes sentient, not one minded, and he did absorb the entire internets knowledge in the first half hour of his birth, so all the snark fit for me.

I take issue with that because marvel has awesome people in charge of concept art for their movies (a job I one day hope to have) and the silver centurion suit especially was designed beautifully, it both looked like a plausible ironman armor in the MCU and had tons of nods to the comic look, the pointed shoulders, the slightly extended ears, and the shape of the arc reactor were all influenced by the look in the comics, then they gave it a very retro Sci fi color scheme that made it come together nicely

Marvel thinks their designs through very throughly 99.9% of the time, this is why almost every movie and TV show they've done has an accompanying art book that's usually mainly character art

Back to the matter at hand, I didn't need hulk to turn grey, but I feel he did in the movie even if it was just lighting and dust.

I am waiting for a more formal poll before I cast my official vote, but i believe all the characters im interested in are on there.

Almost everyone is saying the Tattoos are promotional, I like Leto-Joker regardless

also since this seems to be the only Suicide Squad thread, watcha think of the official team/Deadshot reveal?

Picture above from left to right are Slipknot, Boomerang, Katana (kneeling), Enchantress, Rick Flagg, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc and El Diablo

Personally, Im sold

Actually was mentioned on the last page but I agree it was awesome!

that scene was great. i wish there was more MCU world building in the movie though. seemed short and just one big fight scene.

While Im always up for more world building I think that this film had plenty:

(Massive Spoilers below)

Hulk was definitely grayer than normal during the fight and vision used his phasing twice to punch his arm through two ultron drones. It had a bright green affect

for anyone who is wondering about the red ultron drones vs the blue ultron drones

small spoiler:

Hickmans Avengers and New Avengers is honestly my favorite run of Marvel Comics to date

super pumped for the finale today

so is this the confirmed breakdown? did anyone else get their set yet? not a deal breaker but a little shocking

sorry if my first comment came off as an attack, it was meant to be playful

her attractiveness is as relevant as Foggy's

See but they're not saying "Current older Iceman is openly gay and none of the relationships hes had for the last 60+ years happened"

they're showing us that the events of the past X-men being brought to the present has made the characters realize things about themselves, or expose themselves in ways they werent able to in their original time-line, older Beast and many others have already stated they dont know how this will affect the current time-line in the long run, and has even gone as far as to say he is responsible for literally breaking the time stream

and as I said above, many people go through their entire lives without feeling comfortable enough to come out to others about their sexual orientation

Foggy SERIOUSLY needed a haircut.

And I'm sorry, but I don't think Deborah Ann Woll (Karen) was attractive at all

1. you're wrong

2. no one needed you to think she was attractive...like ever? how is that even relevant?

EDIT: (both of these are about Karen, Foggy DID need a haircut)

The more ive looked back on this particular comic the more ive come to terms with how they presented it, sure the media has taken it and spewed it out for "shock-value" but in the context of the story, its simply a personal moment between two long time friends that reveals something we didnt know about the character prior to this date. And as others have said, there are plenty of people who stay closeted in the world so its not at all unrealistic given the circumstances.

And lastly, if the sexual orientation of a character makes you not want to read about them, then maybe its best if you stop.

I havent picked up any of the Alien stuff so far (its all superb just not on my radar)

I will buy both of these sets no doubt

tell that to the Pulp Fiction thread
