Issue 6 was excellent, if you haven't read it yet.

Posted: May 05 2009 03:05 pm

I did, it sucked though because my local shop was sold out of 5 when I got 6 (I had only read up to 4 at that point) so I had to order it in the mail and read it after. I am loving this so far, what do you think the deal is with Red Mist?

Issue 7 came out last week, and it was fucking awesome. There's one issue left for this story, but this issue has made it clear that the movie is going to be incredible.

Yea, I got it, I was gonna post about this.

I read a horrible review of it before purchase but loved it upon actually getting a copy. I am also holding alot of hope out for the movie.

Issue 8 is going to be insane,...

What could they possibly have said for a negative review?

Posted: Sep 17 2009 07:13 pm

Essentially just ripping it for being shallow (which is bullshit).

I am having trouble finding the specific review right now...

Posted: Sep 17 2009 09:21 pm

Yeah, I call bullshit. The thing with the briefcase was AMAZING. I'm sure the briefcase thing would've been much more awesome if this book wasn't being published by Marvel, but it was still awesome.

I know, dude, I fucking loved 7! It's all comeing together...

DuH DUH DUN!

Already stoked about it. Can't wait.

Hmmm, I can't believe no one posted on this (Jeebus), anyways, thought the conclusion was fucking awesome.

Very brutal as expected, can't wait for the movie at this point (despite my opinion at the beginning of the thread).

Yeah, the ending was fantastic. In fact, it was the perfect ending for that story.

I am really glad that he got shunned by the one chick when he told her he was faking gay, otherwise it would have been too fairy tale like.

nice, i got my copy today and hardcover no less. i had no idea i ordered the hardcover version.

ill probably read it tomorrow on the bus, or after work.

Posted: Apr 06 2010 02:37 am

It only exists in hardcover and individual issues right now, there's no paperback yet.

Posted: Apr 06 2010 01:44 pm

cool. i wasnt complaining, i was just... more surprised at the fact it came in hardcover.

Posted: Apr 06 2010 08:05 pm

I actually couldn't put this damn thing down read it all the way through. Except now I really don't like the casting for Red Mist. At first I didn't care because I didn't know anything about it but that is just not what Red Mist looks like to me, and I'm really hoping Cage can pull off the badassery.

Posted: Apr 07 2010 10:44 am

i just read it this morning on the way to work. almost missed my bus stop because i couldnt stop reading it. i was so engrossed.

THUMBS WAY UP.

Well he only has to play a fake bad ass comic nerd, so I have a feeling he'll do quite well.

Maybe it's just his voice that ruins it for me. I don't think a "superhero" should sound like he has a stuffy nose whenever he talks.

Posted: Apr 07 2010 06:47 pm

i think thats kind of the point of the comic book.
