SHIELD by Steranko. Pretty much a lot of stories about the badassness of Nick Fury, but enjoyable. The writing is a bit dated, but still ages much better than I would have thought. I wasn't too into the Yellow Claw stories, but I enjoyed the stuff with Strucker and Scorpio. That said, I did enjoy the ending of the Yellow Claw story. It was such a troll in a way, but still fun. This also marks the first time I actually read something by Stan Lee which was nice. The transition from Lee to Thomas to Steranko was pretty seamless. Decent read all in all. Nick Fury vs. SHIELD. Absolutely loved this. I loved the art. I loved the characterizations of the various people involved. I loved the plot, its mystery, and where it all led. The ending had some real weight as with the decimation of Marvel's two biggest criminal agencies and SHEILD's destruction. I think half of the main SHIELD agents ended biting when all was said and done. Really great stuff. I'm somewhat surprised I haven't heard more about Harras as a writer because he really delivered here. Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD Vol 1 (#1-11). The first arc with the aliens wasn't as favorite, but it wasn't terrible per say. I did enjoy the next arc with SHIELD starting up again on a smaller scale. What I really dug here though was the characters. I thought the relationship change between the Contessa, Fury, McKenzie, and Neville was an interesting one though I admit it felt weird to see Fury with someone so young. I loved Pierce. You can see the events of Nick Fury vs. SHIELD have brought such massive changes to him with having clearly studied up a good and having just a bit blood lust. I like the way he and Fury play off of each other. Actually the cast in general plays off each other well making for plenty of fun conversations. McKenzie's constant wonder of how he got involved with this weird shit is good fun. Madame's Hydra's institute scenes revealing her love/obsession for Pierce was great. And Network Nina made for a pretty fun addition with her slightly off personality. In way this was a bit of disappointment after such a strong strong like Nick Fury vs. SHIELD, but I still found it pretty fun to read for the characters.

I would post a list, but I rank too many of them around the same. I will say that i find none of Marvel's films particularly bad with all of them at least ranking on the lower scale of good for me. Even with the problems some of them I have I find there to be parts that carry them to at least good. Incredible Hulk is actually mid-tier for me. I might actually rate Iron Man 3 slightly higher than the first film. Not sure where I would place Guardians as I don't love it to the extent others seem to. Avengers and Captain America: Winter Solider are my top two films.

I don't recall having such problems. Usually is impossible to submit someone w/o doing a good deal of damage on that particular limb being worked. Actually I found it somewhat annoying trying to damage arms and legs because it took so long even with the limb focused grapple system.

I have heard nothing about this, but it saddens me to hear as I really want Sackoff to play Carol Danvers.

You sir are just a little strange. I do agree about Fairy Tail. It starts out average and just seems to get better with each arc.

The MyCareer mode not being on the PS3 disappoints me greatly. I probably won't have a PS4 for another few years. I saw on IGN the game supposedly has five times as many animations from the last game.

I would be interested if they were following an Extreme Ghostbusters type of premise, pushing a new younger generation,

Similar, but not quite.

Finished the film about an hour ago. I hated Ronan's portrayal both from a bias comic fan view and from a weak head villain point of view as well. Really didn't like what was done with the Sakaarans or Nova Corps. The former were completely a non-entity, were nothing like their comic selves, and could have easily been switched out with something like the Chitauri or something brand new. The Nova Corps were way too grounded for my liking. Biased complaints aside I thought it was good. Pratt, Rooker, Batista, & Cooper all delivered and then some. The action was nice. The plot was decent enough. And I loved the cameo in the post credits scene. I didn't love film, but I enjoyed it a good deal and look forward to the next one. I do hope Marvel considers other cosmic stories. I really would like to see someone redeem the Nova Corps and bring Rider to the big screen.

You could tell how fast they realized their mistake Becky. The next show of the very same tapings she first appeared on she had already seemed to tone things down. Thought this week's episode was a great showcase for Charlotte. I wish she would use the figure 4 as a finish fro,m time to time because she does some really nifty leg work.

I'm just not terribly interested. Don't really know much about Miracleman, and what little I do doesn't strongly grab me at the moment.

I think that is my favorite singles match from Ambrose thus far.

I can't recall the big retcon, but I was never too fond of the original series so I doubt it bothered me much. I thought what was there Muv-Luv Alternative: TE. Its not necessarily something I would actually recommend.

Aldnoah is good so far and shows potential for more. I haven't been too impressed with Argovellen though its been decent thus far. If I were to list the mech shows I have enjoyed over the last five years it would probably looks like this: Aquarion Evol Basquash Break Blade (movies) Majestic Prince Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet Gundam Unicorn Gundam Build Fighters Infinite Stratos (first season) Valvrave Langrange Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse Evangeleon Rebuild movies I'm also enjoying the current mech shows airing (Argovollen, Captain Earth, Aldnoah). Buddy Complex and Sidonia were decent enough their first seasons. Waiting to see how their second seasons goes before I judge.

Wow.....that's kind of sad then. I mean, I love Gundam and all but it's 2014 and that franchise started several years before I was even born. Was sorta hoping someone else had made something classic of late besides Gundam (and Votoms ) Dunno, i'm so out of the loop now. Are mech shows even still a big thing anymore or did that kind of die out like the cop show genre? They aren't a big thing outside of the occasional stand out and Gundam. Don't take my comment as meaning there is nothing worth watching. I just don't think there has been much that reached greatness or anything. You should try catching some shows to see what they do for you. I've enjoyed most of what I've seen from the last five years.

Probably Gundam Unicorn if we are including OVAs. If not, maybe Gundam Build Fighters. Most of the shows I can recall from the last five years have been solid, but not much more.

I'm with Matt on this. Marvel actually purchasing character like DC has done in the past and the whole Thor's sister thing has my interest.

Still so bummed he's not doing Wolverine & the X-Men anymore. That series was so great under him. Paul O'brien from House to Astonish put out a call for people to try and explain the first arc of the new series and no one could.His review: https://www.housetoastonish.com/?p=2628 I understood the first arc with not too much difficulty, but I can totally understand why it a problem for others.

That seems kind of dumb to do right now when things are in need of a bit more stabilization at the moment.

Breath of Fire Lufia II

Its already 7-8 episodes in. I was pretty damn pissed when they announced it was being pulled from tv. At least it will be shown and S4 will seemingly be finished.

The Wonder Woman costume looks fine. Still feel Gadot is a bit too lanky.

Can't say I'm interested in any of them even with such a strong line-up. I was hoping for something more in between Episodes VI and VII. It also annoys me as it took Aaron away from books I cared a lot more about.

To get money from non-gamers who might enjoy the story.

Hogan was billed at 6'7 and was probably around 6'5 in reality. Injuries and age have taken more than a couple of inches from him.
