Week Nine of "52" begins with quite a mess as the full transformed Steel has a run-in with Lex's new goons and has a bad go of it, our friends trapped in space talk with Devilance and the Batwoman makes her first appearance.

In order to make the story mesh together better, I've combined all the recent posts into "A Spider-Man's Tale." I think it reads better this way.

Thanks!

Just a short note to tell you all of the demise of The Stage, but don't despair Moving Pictures has taken it's place. Feel free to drop in and discuss any movie or tv news or just let everyone know what you love or hate about the latest releases.

In light of Marvel's House of M and Civil War, as well as DC's Infinite Crisis and One Year Later, a lot of people are either overlooking, or just plain unaware of the fact that the Wildstorm universe just had it's own "Crisis" and reboot. And it's known as the Worldstorm. Following the events that took place in Captain Atom: Armageddon, the Wildstorm universe is resetting itself, so to speak.

This fall the universe is going to be kicking off again with titles featuring Gen13, the WildCATS, Deathblow, and The Authority. And much like the Big Two, look for major changes not only in character histories, but dynamics as well.

For those of you reading the Civil War (and if you aren't you should kick yourself now):
So far, what are your thoughts.

The Civil War books we are getting are:
The Amazing Spider-Man
Fantastic Four
The New Avengers
Civil War

I'm only about a few issues into it (we have Civil War #2 laying here) and I have to say, a few things have me.

I know we've got other forums to talk about the implications in the books other than the Avengers, but since the heavy hitters are deeply involved in the Civil War, I thought this was the best place for it.

1: I'm a bit miffed that the whole FF storyline surrounding Mjoliner seemingly disappeared when the Civil War books started. I was happy to see at the end of the latest issue I have (issue 538) they do address it, somewhat.
2: Spider-Man. We all know what's going to happen next. Now that his rogue's gallery knows who he is, MJ is a walking target. Joe Quesada has went on record saying he hates the Peter/MJ marriage. It's making it hard to attract new fans. No one wants to read about a 32 year old married Spider-Man, except us long time fans. Peter's life has had so much tragedy in it, I think Tony Stark and his push for Peter to sign the registration act just added a whole other chapter to that.
3: Captain America. ROCK ON CAP! It's great to see the Symbol of Liberty taking such a big stand. Does it matter that half the known world knows who Steve Rogers is? No, to him it's the principal of the matter.
4:Superhero registration smacks to me of "Mutant Registration." if I see so much as one X-Man falling in line with this, I'll be sorely disappointed. This is, if anything, the very thing the X-men have fought against for decades. And it doesn't jive with the whole X-universe.

Thoughts? Perceptions? Ideas?

Well it had to happen considering that all of the admins are big on visuals (and no that doesn't mean we are fat - means we like teh art!). Anyways those of you who are observant about these things may notice another addition to the menu over on the main page.. yeah look again.. just below the Forum Link.. still can't see it well maybe you should give it a miss. For those who have picked up on the above hints then go on over to the Album link and add back some of the art that didn't make it through the move. I am going to see if it is possible to link the comments back the the Ink & Paint Club too. Enjoy!! Comments welcome to the usual address.

Everyone knows how much I loved X-Men Evolution. Well Thor got me a couple of sweeeeet Maquettes for my birthday (Mags and Chuck)

And that started the beast within me. We now have almost the entire line, save for Storm and Wolverine. Which are HARDER THAN HELL to find.

You can find the others on ebay for a FRACTION of their original price. I was estatic last night to nab Captian America for 39.99! He usually goes for original sale price!

I've watched this trailer I don't know how many times and I'm absolutely in LOVE with the special effects.
