their's a one-shot about them as well. Thunderbolts - Desperate Measures, it made me like Norman Osborn a little bit.

I had to delete loads because I have really shitty tiny hard drives.
Finished those Thunderbolts books. Very good ending. I like how one of the issues was just fighting.

Check out this thread, btw: www.kaskus.us/showthread.php?t=513415&page=182 they add a hell of a lot of whatever's released all the time. It's all in a jumble though. That entire board is ace for finding single issues of (mostly newer) comics. |

I use the #comic-scans IRC channel.
They have a fat XDCC bot thingie for the latest comics, on a good day it goes at 100kb/s.
I think there a couple of days slow on getting the files up though.
Rapidshare smells. Smells like fish and shit mushrooms.

Ooh, I didn't know Z-Cult had a direct download section. I think it's new, I've never noticed it before Runaways are good, and I only have a few, so that's brilliant. |

I'm going to sticky this thread because I keep looking for that Kaskus site but I can't be bothered to bookmark it.
I don't understand that logic either.

Hoi, Snee.
Have you been reading the Sinestro Corps War crossover event thingie? It's a really fantastic epic story, with some really brilliant visuals.
You said you don't really read DC so you'll probably miss a lot of references, but I think they explain most of the stuff along the way.
Important things to remember: Cyborg Superman = bad, Superboy Prime = really bad, Anti-monitor = totally bad.

Haven't read much from that, tbh, I did just read the new Ion-comic, which was kewl, and a bit confusing.
Last I read any green lantern stuff before that, Guy Gardner was Warrior, Hal Jordan was Parallax, John Stewart was a Darkstar, and Kyle Rayner was pretty much the only Green Lantern still alive, not counting Jade's dad.
Now here seems to be tons of them, must be one of them crisis things. Kilowog was their, even.
Have you checked out the new Countdown - Arena, with all those elseworlds-types fighting each other btw?
I was just thinking it'd be kewl if the Bruce Wayne-version of GL was their, and then he was, FTW.

Btw, do you have any recommendations on where to start if I want to catch up on current events?
Is their some sort of prelude to the sinestro-corps thingie I could get started with?
Marvel does those silly saga-summaries from time to time, is their something like that for DC?

I was going to say avoid the "Tales of ..." books, because they were a bit pointless.
I'm sure their is a summary thing somewhere, but I don't know about it. I didn't really know much about the Green Lanterns before the Rebirth series anyways.
I think they've just punched the reset button, Jordon, Stewart, and Gardner are just plain Green Lanterns, and Rayner is Ion again.
I haven't read the Countdown Arena thingie. I'm sort of avoiding anything to do with Countdown at the moment, it's all complete pish and I just want it to end. Countdown to Adventure is pretty cool though.

Hoi, Techno Viking. Have you read Kick-Ass? It's pretty kick-ass good.
It's very realistic, reminds me of the time I dressed up in a rubber gimp suit and ski mask, and patrolled city roof tops, swooping down on petty criminals beating the shit out of them, getting stabbed and ending up with a car battery wired to my balls.

I think you're right.
On the DC side. Have you read the latest issue of Detective Comics.
Paul Dini writing Zatanna = fuckin' A

I just read some thing with her from last year.
Haven't read the batman-thingie, though.

Right, read it now. Intaresting.
I had Zatanna and Satana mixed up, go figure.
I kept expecting Zatanna to eat someone's soul, like.
I also read the new Anna Mercury thingie. No much happening yet, but it's Warren Elllis so it could turn out great.

been flipping through: www.kaskus.us/showthread.php?t=203617It's got collected issues of some comics. It's less annoying than going through the latest releases. I finally got around to reading all of Deathmate. I've had a hardcopy of the silver one for years and year. It was profoundly disappointing, X-O manowar, Ninjak and all of those were way cooler when I was a kid. And why did so many image-artists draw people with such strange proportions I read all of sorrow , which I got from that thread, as well. And Tiger vs Crane, which is pretty shit. Drafted is cool, though. I'm liking Guncandy as well. |

I'm liking Drafted too.
At first I thought it was going to be like a big mystery thingie, about whether or not the aliens actually need they're help, or just felt like enslaving humanity, but it looks like there just skipped over that and it's just a story about being recruited into an intergalactic war. Needs more giant robots though.

I've decided that the Auhority is a bit win, and am downloading the two first volumes and a bunch of other stuff (started reading them backwards with volume three 'cos I was a bit bawa about the continuity of it, and got stuck cos I liked it).
