The ones I think most closely relate to the movie is the '07 Dan Abnett/Andy Lanning run. Annihilation and Conquest put the space books back on the map, and thus Guardians book is one of it's successors. It ties in to War of Kings, and Thanos Imperative. The Nova book of the same time was equally as excellent.

Fo sho. Those were my favorite books at the time. I thought the "Cancerverse" creepy cool.

Can you imagine how awesome an MCU Movie of a PROPER Nova would be? 8-}

I'm really looking forward to Captain Marvel though

There is rumours of a nova movie, I don't know if it hinges on how well captain marvel does.

It gave more of a sense of horror than Marvel Zombies did. Plus the ending ... oh the heart break!

I don't know why but I've always enjoyed Rich Rider. So I was a little miffed when they replaced him with a kid version, which obviously worked out so well they had to bring Rich back.

But yeah, if those rumours are true, I'm definitely down for a (proper) Nova (Corps) movie. I mean as far as galactic police movies go, it can't possibly be worse than Green Lantern! :lol:

Yeah he's a great character. I didn't mind the new kid, but it came at a time when I was getting out of comics so I didn't give him much of a chance. Rider mighta kept me reading :-?

I do like Sam, but unfortunately he got caught up in that big introduction of younger versions of existing characters.

Now might be a good jumping on point for you WreckerJack as the latest crossover "Infinity" is just starting.

What makes this infinity event different from the last one they did a few years back with Thanos? (Not talking about infinity gauntlet, just to clarify)

Also I'm not sure if it's possible to make a worse movie then that green lantern abomination.. which sucks as gl is my favourite dc character.

Buggered if I know, but it's not like it's the first time Marvel have revisited an old cross-over with a different spin on it.

I think the bigger question is, who dies and who gets resurrected?

Who's actually dead now? I know xavier is..but sometimes I lose track of who's actually dead. The only thing that actually kills in the comics is lack of popularity (or by having film rights owned by a different studio)

When did they bring him back? Have the the 1960s x men been sent back yet at least?

Last couple of issues of Astonishing X-Men ... though it's complicated.

60's X-Men are still floating around in the present.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Tue May 29, 2018 5:05 pm

Wonder how they'll wipe their memories when they send them back, or will marvel use that as another reset point. Astonishing...I haven't read that one since Whedon left it ages ago, is it back as part of the marvel legacy thing? I mean I thought they'd split the x men up between blue and gold

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Tue May 29, 2018 6:20 pm

Astonishing is its own team, just like Blue, Gold ... and Red.

I honestly couldn't tell you who is on what team though, I think a couple cross over. It's hard to keep track these days now that the X-Men are back at the fore front of Marvel.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Wed May 30, 2018 3:42 am

Would that have anything to do with the offer they made to fox I wonder. Are the comics at marvel better now then?

Marvel comics has been in the gutter for the past few years due to being taken over by SJWs. They switched out most of the characters for some that are minorities, of other orientation, or women and then sales plummeted, don't even get me started of Captain America: Agent of Hydra which was the final straw for a lot of people. Now the characters we know are back but were either being turned into SJW or beta males. Needless to say, Marvel comics has gotta hurt a lot more before higher powers step in and dictate they knock it off.

X-Men I'm not so sure of though. Jean has returned after a ten year hiatus (mainly because the CyclopsxEmma Frost pairing took off with the fans). now Jeans back (likely ahead of Dark Phoenix's original release date that was pushed back) and Emma reverting to her more sinister ways (likely out of grief for Scott's death) and is now on the run. Xavier has been "dead" for a few eyars before we'll get some BS excuse for his survival. I give it another year before he returns, Cyclops I give three years.

And most recently, Wolverine has returned form the dead after being removed from his adamantium casket, via Kitty, and given a proper burial. A group of mutants sought his body and fought the X-Men, only to discover the grave was empty. The explanation for his revival is currently being told. But he has an Infinity Stone with him. Several group are now looking for him.

Fantastic 4 is also been confirmed to be relaunched later this year.

I still don't get the problem with that cap storyline as it made perfect sense for red skull to do that and he got his kicks by corrupting his greatest foe, and it was just like any other storyline where heroes are controlled or had their paths altered. You know it will be undone and the writer's get more opportunities to write about the hero coming to terms with what he's done. I would argue people just wanted a bigger stick to hit marvel with at that point.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Wed May 30, 2018 2:23 pm

The only things to come out of Hydra Cap was:
Evil Steve Rogers now exists
Deadpool reset himself and is back to his less "human" self.
There's a Casino in Vegas run by demons.

And while I'm aware of all the SJW and gender/race swapping stuff, I feel it hasn't hurt the comics as others do, and this is from a guy who has had a SJW try to blackmail him so believe me, there's no love lost between me and those *****.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Wed May 30, 2018 3:58 pm

I feel like evil Steve Rodgers needs a goatee. Ah all this sjw nonsense just reminds me that there is always extremes in all views, who could do with a nice relaxing drink (or whatever it would take them to stop and actually see the consequences of what they are doing and reactions that would arise). We are quickly becoming a world of extreme views and I can't see it ending well.

Anyhow, I've started watching all the marvel films with my oldest, as he's going crazy for it all. Though he's set my ocd off by wanting to watch the first few movies out if order... :lol:

The internet has made the minority louder and more vocal.

Most of us are content and sit back and enjoy our lives, unfortunately there are those who believe we're living our lives wrong and should be corrected.

I'll admit I wasn't interested in Sony's Spider-verse but this one has me tempted.

I wish they would make a Rocket and Groot spinoff. :HASBRO:
