Personally, i think Captain Abearica is the best of the bunch, only a real cub scout can lead the Ursine Avengers.

DC and Cartoon Network aren't the only ones planning to have an animated block dedicated to superhero cartoons. That is, unless Disney and Marvel punks us by showing another Phineas & Ferb marathon on April 1st:

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=52503

>Marvel has announced that a new programming block called Marvel Universe will be launched on Disney XD April 1st, later this year. Among the programs that will be aired are Ultimate Spider-Man (which will make its series premiere in April) and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (which will be returning for its second season). The Marvel website describes the program as the ultimate place for fans to find exclusive Marvel content, including animated shorts and live action interstitials.

DC Nation vs Marvel Universe! Who will reign supreme!?

Neither, because the Archie Backyard animation block will outdo them all!

>>156034
>Who will reign supreme
The one that's on basic cable.

Scarlet Spider is everything I hoped it wouldn't be, which is a damn shame.

Takes itself 100% serious, blah blah blah back from the dead, yadda yadda living for myself, hurp derp struggling to chose between normal life and superheroics.

EVERY. SINGLE. CLICHE.

It's like a hodgepodge of every "WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CHARACTER" comic you've ever read, not ones you haven't, because something original may have happened in those.

>>156299
That tagline alone makes me facepalm to the maximum.

Alright Wolverine and The X-Men, I'm sold.

Also KIDS!

IN X-MEN!

IN A MAIN X-MEN BOOK!

DRAWN LIKE KIDS!

WITH DISTINCT PERSONALITIES AND EVERYTHING!

>>156350
>>156351
Yeah, I'm liking Wolverine and the X-Men a lot more than I should like a book with Wolverine in the title.

>>156350
>>156351

Logan teaching English Lit and being a very responsible leader and caretaker of the Academy...wow. Who decided to write an X-men comic that actually makes a bit of sense. Also love that Kitty teaches "future history" gotta be knowledgeable about those time travelers.

>>156351

Broo is adorable. What's his(?) story?

And who's the douche in the front with the pink mohawk?

>>156350
>>156351

I can only find the first issue of this but I'm going to keep looking, this shit's brilliant.

>>156358
He was a brood born with emotion, they were gonna kill him, but the brood mother defended him, he realized he was different and met up with the cosmic branch of the X-Men, found his way to earth and became a student of Logan's School for Mutants.

Also Kid Gladiator got rounded up from that same cosmic section and he is ALSO gold!

Also, they have done a good job of showing that Wolverine would is one of the most forgiving people on the planet.

And if he wasn't, Quen would have a single 10 inch claw in his brain.

Thank you very much.

This shit's brilliant, it's def. going into my pull.

>>156034
From what I've watched, not a huge fan of the Avengers cartoon. I know they have awesomeness scheduled for the new season (HOPE it's awesomeness), but the episodes I watched were nowhere near JLU. Also not a fan of the character designs.

DON'T FORGET TO MENTION THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HIS AWESOME SUIT AND THE SUDDEN BLACK AND RED ANGST MOBILE COSTUME!

Ugh, S'fucking so stupid.

>>156384

Weird, I dig Avengers ten million times more than I do the DC:AU

>Go to comic book store to pick up issue four of Wolverine & The X-Men and add it to my pull

Please, book, don't make me regret adding you to my pull. Please be the rare case where magical pregnancy plots aren't a clusterfuck.

>>156399
>>156384
Yeah, it took me a a few episodes to start getting into EMH. The minisodes weren't that impressive and focused a bit too much on world building, but once everything go underway and Gamma World began, it really got good. Now I'm excited t see where they go with season 2, because they'll have the full season and none of the world building to do.

>>156601
If it's going where I think it's going it ought to be pretty funny actually, I trust Jason Aaron, he's one of the very best.

Remember when Mark Waid mocked DC over his twitter about getting paid by Marvel for online sales. He ended his tweet by saying “Marvel: 1, DC: 0″. Well, it looks like the score is tied now:

http://blog.newsarama.com/2012/01/13/charles-vess-it-would-be-nice-if-marvel-actually-paid-creators/

>It would be nice if they actually paid the creators whose work they are reprinting. A year after their Warrior’s Three collection which featured a cover and over 100 pages of my work I received one (!!) comp copy and no word of any sort of reprint or royalty fee. Of course it might not have sold very well. Now I see that they are cobbling together 3 or 4 Spider-Man GNs into one enormous, hideously produced, hardcover. My long ago GN ‘Spirits of the Earth’ which I wrote/drew/painted is one of them. We’ll see what they do about that one. In contrast, DC provides 25 comp copies and a royalty check sent ever 4 months. Hmmm… now who would you work for?

This is just fucking sad, Team Cyclops has all the worst artists and writers, not least of which Greg Land in both categories.

>>157473

>>Those Faces

Did they get knocked out by a "Pleasant Dreams" gun?

>>157474
Considering it's Land, more likely a "Wet Dreams" gun.

>>157474
>>157476
Almost as bad is Green's perpetual GRR I AM ANGRY OR APATHETIC WITH NO MEDIUM.

>>157479
...Man, for the Team in the right, Team Cyclops sucks.

>>157514
Why the hell is it that Cyclops ended up with ALL the former villains - Frost, Shaw, Namor, Magneto, Danger... ?

>>157519
Because they want him to be the bad guy.

>>157519
Because the head dipsticks in the x-offices are...you get the idea.

>>157473
>Team Cyclops has all the worst artists
Uncanny may have gotten Land, but team hairy got bachalo. Wouldn't wipe my ass with those first three issues.

>>157479
>Hope getting bitchslapped

And it couldn't have happened to a nicer person...

>>157526
>Because they want him to be the bad guy.

Probably should have had him and Logan on the opposite sides of the issues then.

Time for some d'awwpression all up in here.

>>157679
>hero leading super villains
I dont read Marvel regularly, but from the discussions it seems that this is just Civil War 2 just with Cyke as Tony this time, no?

>>157885

The reason they're fighting is Hope, the New Dark Phoenix with extra bitchiness. That, and to promote the Avengers movie.

>>157878
Awww, I'd like a story like that. Venom trying to find someone that can understand "her".

>>157918
Homophobe.

>>157918
Yeah me too.
Or have a Saphira-Eragon thing going.
Maybe in next cartoon.
Ultimate is the current in my eye.
>>157935
To be nitpicky, its an IT.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Thorverine/news/?a=53400
Wait, what?

>>158549
Marvel: where movies inspire comics.

>>158549
Honestly its a fair compromise as long as they keep old Fury around.
Make new Fury the action guy and keep old Fury as the master spy and ocassional pure badass.

>>158610
Well they did kill off Happy to make the Tony/Pepper thing match.

This didn't even surprise me that much, sad to say.

>>158617
I'm okay with this.

>>158637
It didn't surprise me either, but they should probably stop calling themselves the house of ideas.

If marvel ever makes 616 Nick Fury black, I will kill someone. I don't give a shit what they do with the movies or the cartoons, but don't touch fucking 616. I go to google and I type in "colonel nick fury" and I get some ugly bald faggot.

>>158610
This has been true since like, X-Men 2.

And it has never once helped sell a comic book.

>>158851
Al least the Avengers Cartoon went with something similar to the prototype Ultimate Black Nick instead of Jackson.

>>158864

That's because he got some of his youth sucked out by the leader of Hydra. When he first shows up, he's got a full head of black hair.

>>158860
It's fucking sad, is what it is. And I don't mean that with disdain, I mean it makes me sad that I like the Marvel Universe and the writers/editors keep pumping out uninspired garbage in a vain attempt to attract "mainstream" readers. It's the equivalent of novelizing movies in hopes that people who DON'T FUCKING READ BOOKS FOR FUN will want to digest the same thing they just saw in a different format.

>>159683

I'll admit it's only worked once for me, but not in the sense that it helped me buy a book, just that I liked the change: The Blade movie. Just the first one, mind, the second one was okay, but the third was...well, dumb.

They tooled around Blade to have the same looks and powers as the Wesley Snipes version. Granted, I never bought an issue of Blade...or anything he was in, I'm not sure if he was ever in his own ongoing or anything. But still, do you realize that movie is 14 years old by this point? That's even older than the first X-Men movie. That's how long Marvel has stolen ideas from their own movies.

>>159728
Actually, a lot of the less 70s elements of movie Blade actually came from the 90s Spider-Man cartoon.

WELCOME TO VEGAS BABY!

BLACKHEART LOVES YA!

>>159877
>>159879
Is this from the last Ghost Rider issue?

>>159922
Nope! Venom is riding the crazy train, you should try it, I can't recommended it highly enough.

We Spider-Men Now.

1. Is Oyle meant to be Blackheart's mother? Because that'd be delightfully fitting.

2. Please tell me someone else gets the team reference here. Please.

>>159937
>2. Please tell me someone else gets the team reference here. Please.

How could anyone forget?

>>159942
Because it was a stupid idea in the first place?

So they're the New-New Fantastic Four?

>>160016
No, it's simply a reference to that story.

Also I dig the guys they are up against.

>>160017
>The Evangelist
oh god that stab at Anti-Venom
I need to be reading this

>>160017
Is....is this tongue in cheek? Because it looks seriously tongue in cheek. And I didn't think you could do tongue in cheek outside of Deadpool and GLI anymore.

Speaking of Ghost Rider.

>>160043
The Evangelist is the anti-Ghost Rider.

Ichor is the anti-Venom. Note the bug-eyes and the way he's making a weapon out of something symbiotey. Oh, and the big chest symbol.

>>160017
How the hell is Encephalon going to fight anyway? Maybe he'll be some kind of super psychic.

>>160145
Haven't you heart? The brain is the strongest muscle.

Venom is my favorite Marvel comic right now.

That is some ugly art though.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3D - Of…

>>161058
Not bad, suit looks a lot better in this and I like the overall feel of this incarnation so far from the preview especially since it has that tension that existed early on with a lot of distrust of Spider-man.

OOOOOH. Another reboot/slash origin story. Just what I fucking needed.

>>161125

that seems to be the thing movies are setting into..make three then start over..make three then start over.

So how about that Carnage U.S.A?

IT'S SO FUCKING PRETTY OH MY GOD

>>161150
Eh, I gave the first mini a shot and it didn't really impress me that much, though Carnage one of my least favorite Spider-Man villains.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

>>161269
Wait, is this real? Because, uh, wow.

>>161273
YUP! Newest FF.

>>161269

Once again I am reminded that all of the good Marvel books are being canceled while the "more successful" comics only sell due to brand recognition.

This...did not improve.

>>161357
It is actually substantially worse.

Meanwhile, Daken tells it like it is.

>>157526
AND FUCKING HOW.

We all knew this was coming, but no one thought it would be SO INSANE.

>>161430
For fuck's sake, this 'mutant pride' stuff is a load of balony, not that I couldn't see a group of superpowered people who all get thier many rediculously varied and at time overwelmingly overpowered powersets from the exact same single gene conceivably banding together to lord it over the normies, but for fucks sake its still dumb.

Not to say that the sharp divide between cheering on randomly superpowered people and reviling other superpowered people who might be saving you just because they're 'mutants' isn't equally dumb (Also if you're Spider-man, but hell he's basically an honourary mutant)

Has there ever been any sort of like "Humans for Mutant Rights" groups in the Marvel U.? Has there ever been a "rock-out against speciesism" with Dazzler and... whoever human popstar it is Marvel U. denizens like to listen to? Have they ever taken out ads saying like, "I'm a teacher. I'm a wife. I'm a mother. And I'm a mutant. Learn the facts. Go to mutated-american.org."

>>161433
>The shared universe is retarded!

Well duh.

>We need to make it so there's no discrepancies between books! Make them more alike!

Oh fuck no. We've already ruined Batman with that kind of thinking. Let books keep what makes them unique and just deal with the fact that sometimes things don't make sense as being in the same universe.

>>161494
You're a very dishonest person.

>>161495
Being a little dishonest is better than being a lot dumb. The shared universe can help or hinder a book, and the quality of the story always comes first. As such, the shared universe being consistent should not be a hard and fast rule in terms of how much it applies to things.

The mutant racism bit is still sort of dumb sometimes, and can be REALLY dumb like in the latest event. But other superheroes existing shouldn't be what validates or invalidates its existence.

>>161360

Christ that book's terrible now. It's no wonder they're gassing it.

>>161467
Pffft Mutant shit is too much of a clusterfuck to work out correctly as a good literary device. And even though we get a few bright spots with the X-verse crew being written like people its far too easy for a shit writer or editorial decision to turn it back into a crappy Analog for the oppressed group of the week.

>>161516
You may very well feel that way but you're advocating turning the book into a generic superhero book where everyone is accepted for having superpowers.

Pointless. Let books keep what makes them unique. If you have to surgically remove the very things that make titles distinct to make them fit into the shared universe, then the shared universe isn't worth it.

>>161519
There's nothing unique about hamfistedly using mutants to represent the opressed group of the hour, wether that be gays and gays suffering from AIDS to ethnic minorities in thier mutie ghetto's listening to thier mutie rap.

>>161520
>there's nothing unique about this

Really?

What other comics do that?

I think you need to learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "this isn't unique."

>>161521
I think you need to learn to stop greentexting just because people point out bad things about what you like.

>>161522
I note you didn't answer the question. You want to hate the book? That's just fine and dandy mate. You want to claim that core symbolism of the book isn't pretty much unique in comics? Pull the other one, it plays the theme song from the 90s X-Men cartoon.

>>161467
>"I'm a teacher. I'm a wife. I'm a mother. And I'm a mutant. Learn the facts. Go to mutated-american.org."
Incidentally, that would be a great ad campaign if they ever decided to do a TV series.
