I'll probably read the rest of Hulk and maybe I'll get into Volume 2 of 52 tonight!

But nobody has guessed my favorite Marvel villain yet! So here's another hint to really narrow it down.

This character has never been adapted into an animated series before.

I just don't understand why Square is willing to throw away money.

They were primed and ready to just milk people for like 8 parts with this game. And all they had to do was remake the fucking thing. Easiest fucking money they left on the table for, what? To try to be more artistic with the story?

It's actual insanity and I don't know how someone didn't go "Okay, but people might just want a remake and might not buy the next part if we add all this bullshit." Like, did this not even occur to them?

Immortal Hulk #6

Alright, so people are creeping on everyone in Hulk's life to find him. That's creepy. And the group in charge of getting Hulk are a bunch of assholes who took that kid from issue 2. No good!

But Captain Marvel, who is in charge of Alpha Flight, has made a deal with the government to not make Sasquatch go to jail for what he did by, and she ends up gathering the Avengers to take him in. She-Hulk, in particular, seems to be most angry about the whole thing which makes sense. Why is she in a hoodie though? Interested in the next issue, but I need to rant about something.

Why the fuck are they incapable of making Captain Marvel fun? She can be a fun character! She can be interesting! She just has the most blank expression on her face in every panel and her dialogue is just such a lame hardass tone. She can be fun! Let her be fun! Carol Danvers as the joyless hardass is what has made this character get such a horrible rep. I have no idea why everyone writes her like this now.

Rant over.

Immortal Hulk #7

Initial thought: They put the car Ghost Rider in the Avengers? That seems so out of place. lol

Hulk shit talking is pretty awesome though, not gonna lie. I'm loving the idea of Hulk being so advanced in science he's close to a god. Big ups Thor.

But I guess I ought to bring up something else that bugs me. She-Hulk looks ugly now and I kinda hate that. Not because "Oh, why does she have to be attractive?" but more than being attractive is her damn draw. Now she's just another Hulk. Who cares. Why diminish her in this way to just be the other Hulk now? She was perfectly fine as a character before this. She even talks like the Hulk too. What the hell? I just don't understand the point here. Does anyone actually like this change?

Anyway, Tony nukes the area to kill Hulk. Whoops. And they actually have Captain Marvel show emotion and humanity with that kid. THANK YOU.

OH NO HULK IS IN PIECES IN JARS WHAT THE HELL. So weird but so good.

Immortal Hulk #8

lol Hulk in a jar flipping asshole scientist the bird. Love it. Dr. Clive is a good villain. Fully expecting him to eat it hard at the end of this story. Captain Marvel is trying to expose this underground government group that has Hulk. And.... Hulk snaps his fingers and fucking RIP Dr. Clive dies way faster than I expected in a totally gruesome way. Duuuuuude. Clever way that Hulk reformed though. They really should have considered that could happen though.

Immortal Hulk #9

Hey, Absorbing Man! I really like this guy and enjoy seeing him in any stories! "You're one of Hulk's greatest enemies!" "Is that a joke? I've never won against the guy." Haaaah. They give Absorbing Man a gamma injection that's like Red Hulk's powers and he vaporize/absorbs a poor little gamma mouse. :( Meanwhile Hulk is losing it because he keeps seeing his father in reflections and wants him gone.

So Absorbing Man ends up brawling with Hulk and he and his ball and chain just straight up beats down Hulk and drains his gamma energy, making him look rather malformed. But when Hulk hits him, the demon thing ends up in Creel and......... well that's a fucking nightmare. Holy shit. What the hell.

Gotta stop for the night but god damn what.

Immortal Hulk #1

So I love the way that they frame this story first of all. They get a little abstract with the placement, go a little unique with the brief narrating text that is supposed to tell you what this story is all about. Some random kid kills a little girl and a gas station attendant and... Bruce Banner, who I understand died but is now back? Do I need to know how he came back or is it explained in this? Anyway, Bruce dies but he comes back. Apparently the kid made bad decisions with bad people and went too far.

So Hulk kills everyone and the kid begs for his life and I actually really, really like this scene where he is begging for his life and asks Hulk if he's ever made a mistake. And Hulk seems to actually understand for just a minute, because he totally has. But then he claims he's not a bad guy, and Hulk is having not even a fucking second of that. He is pretty much ruined for life in a coma and later Bruce is asking Hulk in the mirror if he's a bad guy.

Honestly, amazing issue. Really impressed with what they did here and how they managed to reflect back to Bruce and Hulk. This is the kind of stuff I love to see in Hulk comics.

Immortal Hulk #2

Love the opening with Bruce thinking about the Geiger counter haunting him. And I love the art here and the creativity they use in showing reflections of the Hulk.

This story explores how Hulk can't die and a doctor who tries to heal his son dying of cancer with Banner's radiation research. He took the serum and ended up being a ghost skeleton while his son died super hard. They both can't die though, but Hulk says he put his son in a grave, so now Hulk is putting him in one too. He buries him deep in the earth while they dig out his son from the grave to make sure people don't get radiation poisoning from his gravesite.

Great story!

Immortal Hulk #3

So this is a fun little story (well as fun as this book gets) where Hulk stops some kid who had gamma blasts coming from his hands who had killed his girlfriend apparently. Loved that one of the guys was a cop who just thinks Hulk is great because he's an Avenger.

Anyway, it's just a fun little story that was an enjoyable read, but the more interesting part was that Sasquatch of Alpha Flight seems like he wants Banner to help him, likely about removing Sasquatch's abilities from him.

Immortal Hulk #4

So this ends up focusing more on Sasquatch. I feel like his story is a little bit of embellishment on how his friendship with Banner was in college though. Still, it was nice to get a primer on Sasquatch since I know very little about him. Really interesting to see Hulk has ruined McGee's life before though when she was a little girl! Should be interesting.

Anyway, Sasquatch gets stabbed in a bar fight and then transforms only at night when he's being operated on and he doesn't seem friendly right now. But Banner seems like he wants to see him, so let's see what that's about!

Immortal Hulk #5

Hulk fight!

So something is possessing Gamma people. Good thing Hulk rid the world of a lot of them before. Sasquatch murders people because he's possessed and the possessing thing looks like Bruce's abusive father. This is kinda trippy and absolutely not what I expected from my Hulk book, but I like it. At the end is seems like he possesses Hulk though which is concerning.

I really like where the McGee story went and how she wants to be like Hulk and Hulk just blows her off like she asked a stupid question. lol Anyway, I really like this and am interested where it goes!

Will read more later tonight potentially.

I don't care about this remake but I have no idea how they could possibly think this is a good idea. People just wanted Final Fantasy VII. NOBODY who played the game for nostalgia and doesn't play games much at all anymore is going to want this shit. Like, this should have been the easiest money maker ever. These casuals aren't going to buy the rest of it after the first one is such a shit show like this.

52 Volume 1 Thoughts

So I'm loving this series. It's pretty outstanding. I just like all the moving parts and people involved and it never feels messy. I'll just give a quick rundown on my thoughts on various storylines.

  • Ralph and his dead wife is really compelling. I have no idea where it's ever going at any point and think it's been done very well.
  • Steel and Lex having their beef with Steel's niece caught in the middle is really interesting and I'm trying to figure out where Lex is going with it.
  • The Question and Renee Montoya with Batwoman fun times is good stuff too. I could read Question and Montoya go back and forth forever. Sounds like they'll be saying what's up to Black Adam soon though which is........ so weird to me and I can't wait.
  • Black Adam is by far the best part of the books to me because, well, fucking Black Adam is a boss and I've always loved the character. I feel like things will fall apart when Black Adam goes "Hey y'all I got a heart now. Coalition over."
  • Supernova story with Booster and Clark is interesting as well. Clark being peppered into this without powers is a good time. I always like reading Superman stories about him just being human. And Booster Gold's entire story has been really interesting so far because he's a quality douche.
  • Adam Strange, Starfire, and Animal Man is such a weird combination for being stranded and I like it except Devilance seems really fucking stupid and his design reminds me of a low-rent Galactus.
  • And although it's been pretty low-key, the kidnapped Mad Scientists are really interesting. Morrow thinking he's next is worrisome. I really, really want to know what happens there but it's taken a hardcore backseat.
I think I got all of the moving parts in this volume though. I really enjoy it! I can't wait to read more!

So I was going to read House of X/Powers of X, but it's a bit pricey. But I'll buy it if anyone else wants to vouch for it's quality. So instead I think I'll read Volume 1 of Immortal Hulk. I'm not totally in love with The Hulk, but I heard this is a really good series, and I've actually really enjoyed any quality Hulk stories.

Feel free to keep guessing my favorite Marvel villain though! It's still not been mentioned yet!

52 Issue 10

Okay, I love that Clark Kent was only a good reporter because he was fucking Superman. That's pretty great. Also a super interesting scene with Clark jumping out the window to get the interview when he's fired. That's top notch Clark Kent stuff. Also lol at Clark calling out Lois for scolding him by jumping out a window to get someone's attention. I thought Supernova was another hero. But I kind of feel like he is a hero we know just with a different costume? Maybe?

Hey, it's Isis. I didn't realize that was her from earlier with the head squish guy. I'm feeling like she's going to show Black Adam humanity and I'm about it so long as he keeps being Black Adam. "I'm sorry for denying you revenge" though is so Black Adam.

Oh shit do we have MISTER MIND!?

52 Issue 11

Oh, so we got the Question/Montoya special issue here! Seriously, The Question is amazing and I love this character. Just a snarky douche at all times. And hey, we get Batwoman in action! I'm thinking this actually is her debut then?

AND OH SHIT THEY'RE TRYING TO RESURRECT SUE DIBNY THAT'S ACTUALLY CREEPY THE WAY THEY'RE DOING IT KUDOS ON THAT ENDING.

52 Issue 12

Yo. Shazam is messed up right now. No idea what this is all about. But I'm loving the Black Adam and Isis interactions. But at least she's Isis now... but I'm a bit worried about where this leads for her. It feels like she'll get corrupted.

Oh no Ralph please don't work with the creepy resurrection cult.

52 Issue 13

Psych Ralph got me. He's working with the JLA to take down the creepy fucking cult. Good job Ralph. OH COME ON DON'T PUT SUE'S FACE ON THE CREEPY MANNEQUIN TOO! Oh. Wait. Ralph doesn't want to take them down. He just called the JLA to tell him if it's bullshit or not. Wtf. Damnit Ralph. Heroes being frank talking to other heroes are part of my favorite things about super hero comics, honestly. The JLA members talking with Ralph about bringing back his dead wife was great. And he decides to listen to reason! ...But then he hears mannequin Sue talk to him? And now he's gone fucking crazy. Noooooo.

Black Adam and Isis are great together and I love their story.

52 Issue 1

I totally forgot Wonder Woman snapped Maxwell Lord's neck before this. And oh god Superboy Prime. The prelude alone is bringing back loads of memories.

I remember Renee Montoya plays a big part, and I've always enjoyed her. And fucking Booster Gold. I love this character. He's the best. I hope he's a huge part of this book. Ralph Dibny is making this book DARK though. I forgot Sue died around here.

Steel being a hardass to his niece I absolutely don't remember. And I will absolutely take Black Adam being a fucking baller at all times. Booster losing his shit because the heroes aren't coming except that intrepid reporter Clark Kent is there???

And we end with Question blasting Renee Montoya with his big dumb question mark spotlight. Love it. If I remember right, she actually becomes Question in this series.

52 Issue 2

These are hard for this type of series I think since there are so many stories moving along, so I'll probably just give my comments on major things I like or appreciate and give my overall thoughts on people's stories as something notable happens in them.

I'm actually very interested in the rounding up mad scientists plot and want to know where it goes. Question stop being a creep tho (I know you can't it's okay though). Vic Sage is awesome. Skeets got to get it together though man.

Oh hey, Ralph's mystery gravestone message was not what I was expecting! Damn, Wonder Girl. Been ages since I saw anything about her. Good issue.

52 Issue 3

Okay, I just need to say it. Power Girl's outfit is fucking ridiculous and the cleavage window is dumb. I remember they eventually did something with that, but man it's such a bad look. I just laughed when I saw her first appearance in the book and it's just CLEAVAGE right in front of you. I actually really like Power Girl, but her outfit is bad.

That said, I loved the exchange between her and Black Adam. Black Adam is legitimately one of my favorite characters and he's just such a delight to read dialogue from. And OH MY LORD he crushed a man's head with one hand. I want 52 issues of Black Adam being Black Adam. AND HOLY SHIT THAT ENDING BLACK ADAM IS THE BEST. Just ripping dudes apart and telling people to bring all the villains to him holy shit. Best man.

I forgot Lex Luthor was president before this. I thought that was after. But ahahaha what a wonderful dick. Lex is the best.

52 Issue 4

Loving Booster Gold throughout this story and I love what they're doing with him in this arc. Fire is not as big of a fan though.

Uh, so Steel is seeing things and accidentally turned himself into steel it looks like? Whoops.

I recognize some heroes at the end though like Alan Scott Green Lantern. Not sure who the others are though. Good issue and I liked the Renee and Question stuff.

52 Issue 5

Lex pls stop with the Superman trashing and telling people we don't need him. Get it together bud. I like the story they're telling with Steel being the replacement Superman again despite having not wanting to be it. And oh. Firestorm and Cyborg are in some shit. Oh man, a lot of shit happened, apparently. The Titans and Justice Society (I think?) had a bad time saving the world on their end apparently.

Animal Man, why are you just casually looking at the sexed up alien Starfire bathe herself while you talk about your family? And Adam Strange sorry about your eyes bro.

52 Issue 6

LMAO God damnit Booster why are you paying people now to be villainous too!? And oh damnit Rip Hunter says Booster broke time. That's no good.

But hey! Green Lanterns are here and having a rough time! It gets rougher with Black Adam making a coalition with a bunch of countries. Oh no.

52 Issue 7

Ralph went in on Booster Gold. Kinda deserves it tbh. Omg it gets worse when the actor exposes Booster. "Ralph Dibny, Human Race." Haaaah. Ralph just demolished Booster.

Hold up, Kate Kane is here aka Batwoman, right? Sort of surprised to see her as a socialite snob in this.

52 Issue 8

This is legitimately the first story I've ever been interested in Steel. lol Lex is playing games with the dude. And oh lord he's playing games using Natasha. I hate how Lex can get me from "Haha what a troll dickbag" to "Oh fuck this guy" in a matter of pages.

But I want to say Captain Universe(?) is saving people as some kind of ghost? And Booster isn't happy about it and Clark Kent is going to find out. Hah.

52 Issue 9

Oh, Lex's dickery continues. And Natasha is fighting Steel now. :( Is Lex's goal to just screw with Steel for some reason? What's his goal here?

This Devilance dude looks doofy as hell. I can't tell if he's a joke character or not. lol

Oh, hey. It's Batwoman. Is this supposed to be here first appearance? I feel like she is a recent enough of a character that it actually might be.

-----

Anyway, I'm done for the night. Read way more than I meant to. I'm enjoying it a lot though! What I'll probably do is one volume then switch to something else, then do another volume of it. Just to spice up my reading.

Anything I've seen about Gwenpool seems to range from legitimately funny to the worst cringe ever so I'd be interested in seeing if I actually like it.

I stopped reading comics entirely in the middle of War of Jokes and Riddles so I want to see how that ends!

Blackest Night actually holds a huge part in my heart for personal reasons and it's an awesome story.

Never read Gotham Central, I liked what I read of Ultimate Spider-Man, and I have never read Exiles but heard good things.

Planet Hulk is fun stuff and I've always been meaning to read Immortal Iron Fist.

And I've heard Mister Miracle is an incredible book!

I have not read Hitman and know nothing about it.

I have read Superior Spider-Man and Superior Foes of Spider-Man and I love both thoroughly! Superior Foes especially. One of my favorite books! I have actually barely read any Runaways.

I've read a little bit of Greg Rucka's Punisher and hear it's good. Never heard of Daphne Byrne. But I've heard Dark Nights: Metal is actually good which honestly surprises me because everything about it looked like it was trying too hard. Glad to hear another positive opinion about it though!

I never read all of 52 actually. I think I only ever got through half of it!

I've only heard of Donnie Cates. I actually aaaalmost started reading Baby Teeth but didn't. I understand he's really good. And I'm pretty interested in seeing what Jonathan Hickman has been doing with the X-Men.

I love Jason Aaron's Thor and I've heard good things about Immortal Hulk.

I've literally never even read an issue of any Alpha Flight comic. And somehow I've never even read the legendary JLA Divided We Fall story either!

Hey guys. I'm feeling the stay-at-home blues so I want to go back to getting into a hobby of mine: comic books. So I decided why not read some that people recommend and then I'll give my thoughts on them. Seems like a harmless idea. I'll read masterpieces, fun books, so-so books, and even some bad ones. Whatever people recommend. I haven't actually really read books in over 3 years now? So I've missed some stuff. Here's some rules.

  1. Marvel or DC only. I love the big two. What can I say?
  2. If you want me to read a certain comic run, I'll probably just start at the beginning and read a volume. Or if there's a specific volume or story I ought to check out, you can recommend that too. (Ex: Dan Slott Spider-Man Big Time; or Ms. Marvel Volume 3)
  3. I'd prefer no spoilers until I've read stuff unless I've already read it. Happy to discuss any and all things though!
  4. You can recommend any varying level of quality. I don't really care. I actually don't mind reading bad books unless they are BORING.
  5. Choose only 3 books. If I read yours, you can recommend another one.
  6. I'll choose simply by whatever the hell I feel like reading, but you can have your book chosen by a little game I'll play below!
If you want your book prioritized, you can guess some of my favorite or least favorite comic book things! One guess per 24 hours, and I'll let you guys know after that 24 hours if you guessed right. Feel free to guess again after I say nobody has gotten it. I'll just straight up ask what you want me to read if you guess right. So my first bit of trivia will be as follows:

Who is my favorite Marvel villain?

Guess and recommend away!

So the Matt Hardy teleporting thing was bad.

How do we rate Bray Wyatt's puppets popping up to terrorize John Cena?

Decided to buy new DDPYoga workouts. I already had the OG sets, but bought Rebuild, Extreme 3.0, and bonus packs.

I mean, do I need them all? Who knows, but I can safely say the OG stuff STILL works. Can't wait to just completely feel the bang. I think they said its like 60-70 workout options.

Ok then. This quarantine can fuck off.
I would recommend just doing the DDP On Demand service. That way you can get all of them and just choose.

This is an interesting article about Owen Hart's death, with information from the court case. The short version is that Vince wanted him to repel faster and multiple people told him it wasn't possible to do safely. So Vince told people to just find someone who would do it as fast as he wanted it done and they found a guy who claimed he did it for Sting a few times, but he only assisted in setting it up.

Apparently the reason it failed was because they used a smaller hook meant only for 6 pounds of weight and it snapped open as a result.

Satin is a former TMZ guy who started his own wrestling news site called Pro Wrestling Sheet. Last fall he got hired by Fox to work on WWE Backstage.

Most people see this as a conflict of interest, but yet he still maintains that he is fair and balanced about WWE stories. This is why most people that dislike him dislike him.

He got in an argument with Bryan Alvarez yesterday, and he dropped a line at least Im honest about who I work for along with a picture of Bryan and Dave in an AEW ring. This prompted a response from a prominent person in the wrestling twitter circle (WordsBig80s) about how Satin used to work on his dads reality show about notorious awful human being Sheriff Joe Arpaio tricking people with warrants into getting arrested.
This is a good summary. Ryan Satin also does weird shit like complimenting Vince McMahon for taking dumb hammer props on his private jet to Saudi Arabia as his major takeaway from a podcast with Brodie Lee where Lee discussed how messed up the system is and how unfairly he was treated, especially by Vince in particular.

He also gets very angry when people call him out on bias, especially other people in the industry, and he will continually block people who so much as disagree with him. (The guy who pointed out he worked on that Sheriff Joe show was blocked and apologized to Satin for reading his IMDB page) Satin also tends to deflect criticism by picking out a wrong fact, that he's employed by WWE, and then tries to claim that's why he's totally not bias.

Basically, he's a funny and bad wrestling reporter to follow because he ends up embarrassing himself often.

Lmao The real quote so people don't think Ryan Satin has the capability to be self-depreciating. He later kept doubling down on being proud of it before deleting every response made to it including ones he made on Reddit in the past about it.

Satin made the time to do that between arguing on Twitter that he's very proud to have worked on a propoganda show for Sherriff Joe?

Yeah, I literally started dating a girl on a Saturday and then we got put on lockdown on Monday. She ended up going to her parents' place during it to be with them and it's been three weeks, with another month to go. We're both like super bummed out about it, but we're still talking every day.

It sucks, but the only option if you want to keep pursuing it is to just continue doing what you're doing with the idea in mind that when the shelter-at-home order is down you'll jump back into it.

Edit: Oh, your parks aren't closed? Because literally every park and beach is closed here so I can't even do that with her. lol Yeah, it's a risk to still meet up with her. If you were living alone I'd say go for it, but in the case with the girl I'm talking to, she's with her older parents and I know even if we met up I would feel awful if they got sick afterwards, even if it wasn't my fault at all.

It's a giant crapshoot and this whole thing sucks.

My housemate's ex-wife likely has Coronavirus, and he's been visiting their kids. He now has to stay and take care of the kids, so he may have gotten it in our home. Even more scary is that he has asthma, so it'll hit him a lot harder if he gets it.
