Kef's weekly comic post

[Khephra]

I'm going to start doing this once a week.

I'm reading my pull list..opinions will follow.

First up:

Daredevil 59

For those not following, DD has had his secret ID revealed to the entire world. Instead of hiding, he took over his streets. He's now the KINGPIN. Very edgy stuff going down...

(reading it now)

1. Hey Keph - you read much Manga?

[Khephra]

4. Not as much as I'd like

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. If you like Marvel and other American comics you'll love Japanese comics

man they have a MUCH wider audience and thus more creative freedom. But I'm sure you know that.

[Khephra]

8. Gimme some more money

I can hardly buy the comics I do.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. actually I've found it cheaper to buy import japanese comics than american

at the counter.

2. first, Kef, thanks for the tip about "Wanted"

I've been reading it, and it's great. (tho' I can't find #1).

Now --DD has become Kingpin in the latest Marvel universe?

Whaddya think of the new "Conan" series?

[Khephra]

9. The studios are trying to make WANTED

Into a movie. I can't ever see that.

[villager]

19. not these studios...

because after all, "Wanted" tells us that the bad guys won during the Reagan administration...

[Khephra]

3. DD: so...

DD: I screwed up. I screwed everything up. You were right. My life spiraled out into orbit and I helped it."

Luke Cage : pause...."kay"

DD: Really?

LC: Yeah. we're good. That's all I needed to hear. We've all been through &*&*&, man, you can't be blamed for that...

it just looked like you weren't coming out the other side of it.

[Khephra]

5. I haven't read Conan. Not my type of fiction.

Although I've only heard great things about the new series.

[Khephra]

6. WOW...DD has gone from being a has-been title to a must read

Comics, by their nature, are serials. The artist who can bring the past to the present is a genius. Anyone who read DD during the Miller days should be reading it now.

Next up:

Supreme Power #9

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. Supreme Power kicks ass

We only had #1 here in Brazil and then... poof. Where's the rest?

Are there other jabs at "real" people like Carter and Bush I in the rest of the series? Also, does it still have the same writer & artist?

[Khephra]

11. OH YEAH

JMS is the writer...he did the whole 5 year B5 gig pretty much on his own. I'm starting on issue 9 right now. Bush, Clinton, Carter...it's all up-to date

[Khephra]

12. Megadeaths

"He could conceivably eliminate a minimum of 2 thousand people per hour."

Holy shit...superman on a spree.

[Khephra]

14. Anyone not buying SUPREME POWER

Is an idiot. Nuff said.

"if it comes down to it...and there's more at a stake than one small country of mud flats and rice paddies...

What's one more kid?"

[Khephra]

15. OMG

OMG
OMG
OMG
OMG
OMG


I crided twice during that book! Fuck you all who think comics are piss.

[Khephra]

16. I know I'm going into

OMG!
The last page off the new UFF!! FUCKKKKKKKKKKK!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. What's UFF? (nt)

[Khephra]

18. Unfucking fururistictic

To tell you the truth, I don't remember.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

20. Now I bought #1 of the series where Superman grows in the USSR

And Luthor is WAY loopier than in the regular DC Universe! Cool!
