All Hail Empress Aurora, Lord and Savior of the Hive!

What did you think of Civil War? It completely rewrites so much of the Marvel Universe except for the "X" books. I have not read an "X" book in several years however.

From what I read about Civil War, I thought they botched up the execution a little considering that the SHRA and the MRA both paralleled each other which to me would have resulted in many former mutants and mutant rights activists protesting the act considering that it would lead to the passing of a Mutant Registration Act. Thats not even mentioning that the only reason Spiderman demasked himself was because they knew they were going to Retconn it several months later.

Personally, I like the fact that the Secret Invasion isn't going to affect the X-universe beyond having one of the Wolverines being revealed to be a Skrull and maybe X-Factor discovering that the Young Xmen are being trained by a Cyclops Skrull (since it does not make sense for Cyclops and the X-men to work out of San Fransisco, then fly to Denver to give X-Force their missions while training the Young X-Men in the ruins of the X-Mansion).

Hi Relique.

Gah! More comic book talk! I can't get away from it!

(I follow the movies, and read up occasionally on the web when I'm bored, but beyond that, don't follow them much)

One of us. One of us. Gooble gabble gooble gabble. One of us. One of us.

Its everywhere. I just wish more people went to the Media section to discuss it. I can talk comics all day. Especially Valiant Comics (which may be returning complete with a Ratner movie) and 80's, 90's comics. Due to current prices (4 dollars a piece) I can't afford to buy them anymore. I just listen for good stories and wait for their TPB to arrive.

Could be more entertaining than the WoW talk we had last week.

Well, we could avoid discussing comic books OR video games.

...

So, any new comic book video games coming out soon? I imagine Iron Man will get some marketing tie ins. I miss the old days of Marvel vs. Capcom. . .

Marvel vs Capcom was fun. I'd like to see an updated version.

Marvel vs Capcom vc Namco vs DC would be a kick ass game.

One thing's for sure, the fight between Power Girl and Ivy vs. Chun Lee and Spiderwoman (or Black Cat) would probably be enough overload Dead or Alive's "bounce" engine

So, what'd I miss?
