That's awesome! I hope you win some great things for him! Welcome to the forum!

Agreed! It really looked like Cyclops was going all in and that's probably the only thing that would make him do that.

Yeah, that moment really stood out to me too. Cyclops losing his composure like that feels less like shock and more like someone who already knows how bad things have gotten. Jean being missing definitely feels intentional, whether that means she’s gone or they’re saving something big for later. Either way, it adds to that end-of-the-world vibe. I’m with you though, it’s probably the strongest teaser so far just based on tone alone.

That’s a great one to have on the calendar. I looked it up and it seems to be a pretty big event! What are you most excited to check out there this year?

Toy Fair is an awesome goal. I've never been to one. What was it like when you went?

This is a cool figure! There are so many great Batman movies, but I have to go with the original!

I'll have to check that one out! We try to play board games with the kids, but it's hard to find any that keeps their attention. We tried Exploding Kittens the other day but I couldn't figure it out lol. My oldest is interested in trying the Marvel Multiverse RPG and possibly D&D so we will see.

With the year getting underway, I was curious if anyone here is planning to attend any comic cons this year. Big or small, local or major. I’ve been thinking more about getting out to events, checking out panels, artist alley, and just being more involved in person instead of only following everything online. Would love to hear which cons people are excited about, or if you have a favorite one you try to go to every year.

True lol you never know what Batman is prepared for!

True. Reed is always at the top of the list in these types of discussions. Especially if you read the comics and not just the movies lol

I thought the same about Black Panther. He has all of his country's resources and could develop different teams to work on different issues at the same time.

I've always liked this matchup! I know Batman has ways to beat people that outclass him, but I think Spider-Man would be too much for even him to handle. I know Batman can do amazing things with prep-time, but I think Spider-Man simply has too many abilities to be taken down. However, I do think Batman could set a trap for him, but if it's a chance encounter, then Spider-Man will take the win.

Nice to have you here! I love LOTR too!

Loki is a great choice! He would definitely attack the issue in unconventional ways that the others probably wouldn't even have access to.

Reed is a great choice! I think he could handle just about anything. I went with Doom for one reason, that basically he would be more inclined to do things that Reed probably wouldn't to get the job done. I think a team up with those 2 would be awesome!

I tried to frame this around preparation, intelligence, and resources, not just raw power. Doom and Reed feel like obvious contenders, but someone like Black Panther would have full access to Wakanda’s technology and infrastructure, while Magneto or Constantine could approach the problem in much less conventional ways. Curious to see which angle people trust most and why.

A universe-ending event is unfolding. You can choose ONE character, hero or villain, who has full access to their intelligence, resources, allies, and preparation time. Power alone is not the deciding factor. Curious which qualities matter most when everything is on the line.

That's a good one! I remember wishing I had bought one too.

I always thought he should, but now I think he should stick to his strict set of rules. There would likely be fallout if he did start now.

Yes! Matt Damon will make it work. He's good in everything!

Are you reading individual comics or the omni? I like how they have all of the comics in 4 huge books and they're not that expensive. I have books 1 and 2, but haven't started it yet.

They need a game where you level up by eating healthy and working out and you lose "health" when you eat junk food or don't work out lol I love leveling up and I think something like that would motivate me more.

I need some games to help me stay in shape too lol we got a Meta Quest and I'm hoping to get a little more active since I have a desk job.

My goal is to play with my oldest more this year. He's a teenager now and I never know how much longer he will want to play games with me. We played Ultimate Alliance a lot when he was younger and I got him the Gold edition that has extra characters since he's been asking for it for a while. He wants to make Youtube content with it and I'm all for it!

I haven't seen all of them yet, but I'll say season 1 was probably my favorite so far. Similar to The Walking Dead and how it's hard to replicate that experience we all had when the shows first came out.
