So the big thing going into this week, we are two days away, from the first two episodes of X-Men '97 releases. Also since a thread didn't go up last week, I don't know who saw it, much less who actually cares, but I'm going to leave this here, anyway... Here is what I'll be reading... DC ComicsJustice Society of America #9 (of #12) Titans #9

Batman/Superman: World's Finest Catwoman Green Lantern: War Journal Justice League vs Godzilla vs King Kong Nightwing Sinister Sons Titans Wonder Woman
TMNT: Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan Cobra Commander Walking Dead Deluxe
Blade Fantastic Four Invincidble Iron Man Ressurection of Magneto Spider-Boy Vengeance of the Moon Knight Web of Spider-Man X-Men Forever
Really looking forward to more TMNT with Santolouco on art, he's been my favorite artist for the franchise, great little touches to differentiate the turtles from one another. Been too long, but he's finally back with "Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan."

Lony , beat you by 12 minutes. WE NEED A MERGE Done. Finished She Hulk. Still in the middle of Gargoyles and heading into Ms Marvel. Been watching specific X-Men Animated episodes. I tried to make it through some of Season 5 but it's so bad. Counting down until X-Men 97!!! :cheer:

If X-Men 97 wasn't a direct continuation of season 5 I'd just tell everyone to skip it!

So? So ? What do you all think??? 1st 2 Episodes have dropped! Feels very cohesive to the original even though almost 30 years have passed. Most of the voices are spot on and they kept original intro (yay) and added some characters like Bishop and Morph. I liked some of the nods to the original comic panels. Not too sure of any major storyline right now except Jean is pregnant. Magneto is 'in charge' but if they have Rogue end up with Magneto over Gambit Imma gonna be unimpressed. That's gross. Old balls.

Watched both episodes at lunch today. Brought me back to being an adolescent, I loved it. Wolverine's voice took a bit to not feel so jarring. But definitely love the long form storytelling that's happening.
Morph man...just not sold on him. It's neat seeing him shift into different X-Men during the fight scenes, but I'm having troubles understanding how he has some of their powers. Anyways, small gripe to an otherwise fantastic entry into X-Men TAS.
There's just so much material they can draw from for their stories, especially with an extra 30 years of story that wasn't there when they were originally making the show. Hope this sticks around for years!!

I plan on watching it after the kids go to bed. The youngest turns six today, so that is a higher priority.

Definitely! Happy birthday to them!
X-Men 97 currently has a score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes for what that's worth.

I couldn't wait, and watched both episodes yesterday. I loved that the intro and music was the same, with the addition of Bishop and Morph. The voices were spot on too, the actor they've got as Cyclops is great. There is so much I want to see from this series, like Foos I hope it goes for a long time, X-Men has so many stories to tell and I hope they get that chance. Like iron maiden though, my biggest issue is: {Spoiler} Rogue and Magneto. I hated that storyline and I hate they're doing it here. Wrinkly old balls, yuck. Rogue and Gambit belong together, period and I'll die on that hill.

I really wish they did not use Draven for The Crow, or the Crow at all, as otherwise looks like a good revenge film. But does not work at all as a Crow film. let alone, one doing Draven. Most people involved in the first film denounced the remake as did the writer of the comic. Long of the short was the first film was good enough a new adaptation was not needed, and Lee should be remembered for bringing Draven to life.

3 Body Problem now on netflix. Book took a Hugo award and was considered must read modern sci-fi. Fantastic story. Very creative and a great story of the dangers of the modern era.

I think they would have saved themselves a lot of trouble just by calling him literally anything else, Draven should have been saved for the original. The franchise begets as many different names as you can think of, the Crow comes back, finishes business, then returns to the grave.

Nope not really to answer the question. Got some invincible trades to catch up on. Other than that I havenā€™t read a superhero book in months. Iā€™m on hiatus I guess youā€™d say. No budget or space anymore. And honestly canā€™t keep up downloadingā€¦ so Iā€™m just checking things out in small doses and reading more novels, and history, and other hobbies.
And I donā€™t really talk nerd stuff on the internet anymore. I mean i will one on one with folks I know. But I just donā€™t do well in discussions anymore. Mostly cause I largely donā€™t care what most people like, or think at all. There are opinions I like and respect here. Itā€™s why I will always drop in and see what those people are into right now. Iā€™ve gotten good stuff more times than not from that.
Iā€™m still NFO for life, but Iā€™m retired from the game.

Hope this sticks around for years!! I think morph is a Sinister plant. The opening credits sinisters face flashes behind morphā€¦ But yeah I dug the shit out of it. The rougue magneto thing didnā€™t bug meā€¦ I remember not being keen on it in the comicsā€¦ but uh the person at the doorā€¦ see above bad guy and clones, and what notā€¦

All on board for X-Men 97. Voices took just a little getting used to (even the original VA's who were brought back are still 30 years older than they were, after all, and can only hide it so well) but otherwise it looks like it was made with care and love and I'm hyped.
also, like Spotty, haven't read a good ol' superhero book in forever. Monthly floppies/weekly trips to the ol' comic shop and I are a thing of the past, most likely, and I'm having a hard time accepting it
