Dave Cockrum did the cover for Giant Size X-Men 3. He was supposed to do a new story inside, but had to back out at the last minute due to health reasons. Neal Adams took his place. Joss Whedon was the writer I think.

In the last thread I said Bucky was one of three Marvel characters that will never be resurrected. I think I've been proven wrong. Has anyone read Captain America lately?

In the old thread,

Yes, but... It will be replaced by New Excalibur written by Chris Claremont and starring Sage, Juggernaut, Dazzler, Captain Britain, Pete Wisdom and Nocturne. Isn't that great?!

P.S.
Not that I care about Nocturne. I don't read Exiles. But still...

Well, where Marvel has left me cold with the New Avengers, Young Avengers, death of Thor and so on, and I've even cancelled my Amazing Spider-Man subscription because the Sins of the Past storyline is unforgivable and I don't care about this whole new "living at New Avengers headquarters with Mary Jane and Aunt May" situation...

DC has certainly gotten me intrigued again. For a few years there, I had almost completey stopped buying DC, but now I'm buying quite a bit, what with Geoff Johns - whose work at Marvel I liked - writing Teen Titans, Kurt Busiek and Ron Garney doing a JLA arc, and Carlos Pacheco drawing first / and now Green Lantern.

And their current revamping seem to be focused on making what is interesting, rather than doing away with what is, like Marvel currently seems into. Stuff like this...











plus DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy



and the current Crisis of Conscience story arc in JLA...



Now, that's the kind of stuff that can get an old fanboy excited about reading comics again.

So what do you all think Infinite Crisis will be about? And aren't you just excited about it?!

On the DC stuff, we totally agree (and if you aren't reading Teen Titans, then SHAME on you!!!). All of the current mini-series, as different as they are, will tie into the Infinite Crisis. Still not sure how it all will come together, but it sure is intriguing. DC hasn't been this good in years.

NO! Oh man, what a LAME lineup! Oh, how I wish Claremont would retire! He continues to shit all over his once great legacy.

But I am reading Teen Titans.

I'm blushing because I'm a bit embarrassed about it, but it is written by Geoff Johns, so... And it is kind of entertaining, but also a bit juvenile, I think, so it feels like a guilty pleasure, reading about a bunch of kids at my age.

JediMaster said:

But think of it this way... In the old continuity, by denying her fate in Uncanny X-Men #246, Death chose Dazzler to be its handmaiden and sealed the deal in blood. Now that Claremont is handling Dazzler again, maybe he will actually use that opportunity to honor his old legacy by actually adressing this interesting turn that he didn't get to address further back then.

scififilmnerd said:

Well, Dazzler was always a great character when Claremont was writing her. Unfortunately, I just don't think Claremont has the vision he once did. It's cool that he is able to tie up the bajillion unfinished plot threads he started way back when, but his current writing style seems like someone desperately trying to mimic the classic Claremont style.

But you are gonna buy New Excalibur, right?
