ahuramazda Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Admittedly, I don't know shit about the Mangaverse (except that it sounds incredibly retarded), but I also, personally, don't give the Ultimates any more legitimacy than any given "What If?" issue. They are fun to read, but they aren't "real" Marvel comics continuity to me (note: I don't think that anything in this crap-tastic Quesada era is "real" Marvel, either--I'm just waiting for some reasonable editor to take over and make all of it a fever dream by Peter Parker or something). Related to that, was there not a "what if Pepper Potts created the Iron Man armor?" issue at some point? That seems like a pretty typical "What If" issue. Although the "What if...?" stories have really sucked since the first volume (70's and 80's) I really really recommend the ones from that first volume. Stories like "What if Phoenix had lived?" "What if Loki found the hammer of Thor?" "What if the Fantastic Four hadn't gained their powers?" and my personal favorite and easily one of the best tragic stories of all time, "What if Dr. Doom had become a hero?" are really some great reads, especially if you like stories that end on a downer like Thomas Hardy's stuff.

"What if the Avengers all had beards?" was a good one too, though that was from "Wha? Huh?". Twisted Toyfare Theater's "What if Gwen Stacy had lived?" was another good one.

TM2 Dinobot Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 "What if Spiderman hadn't Married MJ" followed by "What if Spiderman had Married the Black Cat" are 2 of my all time favorites. Obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I always thought that 'What if the Hulk turned into Bruce Banner when he got angry?' would be kind of interesting, as would 'What if Namor couldn't swim?' & 'What if Blackbolt had Tourettes Syndrone?' . 'What if Galactus farted?' 'What if buttheadsmate was funny?'...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. .......I thought I had dibs on the title ,'grumpy ol' man I have a stack of loose Wave 6 Iron-Man 'mates which I bought from a (perhaps) relative of the Mandarin on ebay. On inspection none of them had Stark's head & my conscience has always stopped me from glueing the helmets on & selling them on ebay As for head-swaps I now have a veritable cornucopia of choices with all these ferric figures arriving..... happy day!

Lantern Returns Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Man I'm not going to have any money for comics at SDCC, but plenty for mates. Wow that is one B.A. set of mates. I'm so looking forward to getting those and Ironman. Hopefully Avengers will be there too. This lifted my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo Shizzle Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hopefully Avengers will be there too. I thought the Avengers set was available at the retail level from your LCS. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Oh... My... God... This is absolutely the most amazing thing ever. Screw the Iron Man set, I want the Invaders now. I hope these will be avaliable post convention or that I can get these online somewhere except EBAY. I wonder if DST will have them avaliable on their store? PS: Whose shield is that reverse colored shield, Bucky's or Cap's? When did Cap use it if its his? Edited May 20, 2008 by Trekker 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo Shizzle Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Yeah neither one is showing up yet at shopafx.com like the Civil War set was a few weeks before....That would really suck. The only thing wrong is that they missed a trident for Namor. It looks like Bucky's. I've never seen Bucky have a shield from what I remember, I like it though. I always thought he should have one.

boyd Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Wowsers. Gettting a second box set exclusive is a great surprise. And it's giving us the overdue classic Namor and the Bucky. I'm indifferent about Cap, but really excited the original Human Torch. Well-done face, fun new base, all cast in in translucent plastic - that's a winner of a Minimate. Going to have to do a "flame-off" original Human torch now... Good thing I checked this thread to see why so many people were still talking about the Iron Man exclusives.

Amazing.JL Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Wow, looks like I'll have to definitely consider making the trip again to SDCC. I'm excited to get all these box sets. It's starting to get hard to keep track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
