Come on! The predator and... tarzan?!? What's hes doing, whipping the Predator up with a liana?
Well actually, i'm pretty sure I've seen Tarzan VS ALien too

[Stryke 9]

Shrike: There any source of, y'know, more specific info on that series? I'm kinda interested, but like hell I'm gonna buy something without knowing jack about it. The homepage is vague as all hell, etc...

[Shrike]

Well, imagine is Lenin had the mentality of Stalin, and that furthermore he was a massively powerful sorcerer who was manipulating the USSR from beyond the grave and using the souls of those who died in its service to keep himself 'alive'.  That's the Red Star version of the USSR in a nutshell.  One man, Marcus Antares, is the key to bringing the entire system down, and he has to reach the soul prison of Archangel which is (I believe) the centre of the entire archipelago.  The stories themselves follow more of his wife Maya however.

The art is killer too, especially in the trade paperbacks.  Mmm, oversized glossies.

What do you want to know about it?

And it did.

Nico: Yeah, the concept sounds rather ludicrous, the very reason why I bought it, but I have to say it was really good and entertaining.

But alas, I forgot to mention that I still love Spiderman. I dunno what it is, but he's just too cool of a Superhero. Though Spawn comes into a close second, he just sometimes feels to depressing for me. But the one I REALLY forgot about and really enjoyed, was LOBO. He, kicked ass...

Never read any 2000AD, bu DC Comics has Preacher and Transmet. No more need be said, really.

[waits for that one guy to come in talking about how the quality of the comics have no bearing on which publisher is best]

Two of my absolute favourites right there. Everyone should read Preacher.

[Rictor]

Yes indeed, the Red Star kick extrordinary amounts of ass. I've read the first like 7 issue (whatever the first volume was) and that got me good and interested. I'll probably be buying the rest soon.

I could never get into Preacher at all and I generally like the Vertigo Press stuff.

[magatsu1]

anyone heard of "Blade of the Immortal" ?
That's pretty cool but totally different to DC etc.

I used to be into manga in a big way, Never really liked US stuff.

Really? Everyone I know who's read it has loved it, ah well, each to there own.

Back to KOTOR for me. This game is like crack.

[neo_hermes]

Marvel: Xmen, the Hulk, The Punisher all great

[Stryke 9]

Shrike: I guess mostly I wanna read some of it before I decide spend any money. 'S pretty much what I always do with books. More's the pity this thing's never in bookstores, I guess.

[Carl]

a 32 page book on costs $1.25, which is what is great about them.

Here here. :thepimp:

I've so totally and utterly changed my mind that it's not even funny.

Spawn is nothing compared to the Green Lantern, Hal Jordan.

I just finished reading Emerald Dawn 1+2 (the beginnings of the Lantern), the ones where Coast City is obliterated and Jordan wipes out the Lantern Corp and the Guardians for not letting him turn back time to save 7 million people, Final Night (where, as Parallax, Jordan saves the Earth and dies) and The Last Will And Testament Of Hal Jordan (where the power incarnate comes to Jordan's buddy, recreated Oa and restarts the Lantern Corp).

Abso-fucking-lutely awesome.

[mikhael]

Green Lantern is cool, but then there's the OTHER Green Lanterns. The whiney, pathetic, annoying ones.

But I gotta agree: when the writing is ON, its full on and rough.

[Stryke 9]

I dunno. Always seemed that a superhero that can do literally anything thanks to his powers pretty much rules out a story unless you introduce some major logic holes.

'Course, I mostly know Green Lantern from the Superfriends and aforementioned obnoxious versions, so maybe there's some reasonable way the whole deal works I don't know about, but blah.

Sinestro kicks ass, though.

[Carl]

well, see, the ring can create what you can imagine, so if you want to make a hand, that's fine, but if you want to make an atomic ray gun, you'd have to imagine every screw, bolt, mirror, diode, micro curcuit, wire, and magnet in the gun at the same time, so that rules out anything complicated. though keep in mind, it varies from user to user. Kyle Rayer is an artist, so what he creates with the ring is going to be more complex and fancy, while someone like Jon Stuwart, who is a serious, stone cold ex-marine, is gonna go for things less imaginative and more practical.

[Genryu]

In my case, it's manga all the way, Heroic-fantasy and cyberpunk being my most cherished genre. Try to read Bastard one of this day : eye-candy much, but the more you advance in the story, the more I like the scenario (even if it is a BIT much incomprehensible for most of my friends )
Otherwise, I'm also fond of Marvel comics, Spidey especially.

[Nico]

Berserk, I'm waiting for a reedition, coz the editor in france who hads it, well, basically ****ed up with the license. SO for now I have to live with the two first tomes and the series
I bought all the You're Under Arrest recently, ok, it's old, but it's still fun ( if a bit silly ).

[Carl]

If you want silly, read Marville.
