Welcome to the forum, Gabe! I love Aliens! Which of the movies are your favorite?

I haven't read it but have been considering getting into it. Honestly, I haven't really read Daredevil unless he was in a Spider-Man comic and have been wanting to try it out. In your opinion, which run would be best for a newbie to start out with?

Fox Mask Killer #1 is out today. She’s been one of the more interesting characters in Exquisite Corpses, so I’m curious to see what they do with her in her own series. Anyone picking this one up? What do you think about the Exquisite Corpses characters getting their own spinoffs? I grabbed a cover A for my personal collection.

I haven't read that series yet, is it good? I have the first issues.

I’d love to see it happen at least once. If Marvel and DC ever actually pulled it off, it would probably be one of the biggest comic book movies ever. I’d especially want to see the character interactions more than just a bunch of fights. Seeing Spider-Man meet Batman or the Avengers interact with the Justice League would be a lot of fun. I would even like to see a Spider-Man/Batman movie.

Hi David, welcome to the forum! Are you more into Marvel and DC movies or comics?

I grew up watching the Friday the 13th movies in the '80s and '90s, so I had to get this one! Cinemark released this new Jason Voorhees popcorn bucket today, and I think they did a great job with it. I have a feeling these could go pretty fast, especially after seeing how quickly some of the Alien popcorn buckets sold out. Any other Friday the 13th fans here?

New Comic Book Day is tomorrow, so I'm curious what's at the top of everyone's list this week. Is there a new issue you're waiting for, a new series you're planning to try, or something you're hoping to pick up at your local comic shop? What's the first book you're planning to read?

When Rogue snatches Captain America's shield from him and tosses it out of sight 😂 What's your favorite moment so far?

I may have to check this one out. I was a huge fan of The Office.

I hadn't heard of that one, I had to look it up.

Nice! Have you read any of Ghost Machine's other series like Hyde Street, Redcoat, Rook: Exodus, or Junkyard Joe? They're all extremely good!

Good choice! I think places in Legend of Zelda would be fun too, but probably too dangerous lol

I played the original Diablo back in college and have loved the series ever since, so I'm definitely interested to see what Netflix does with a TV adaptation. The Diablo universe has so much lore to pull from that I think it could make for a really good series if they get the tone right. Who else is excited for this? Have you played any of the Diablo games, and which one is your favorite?

I think using the current game voice actors would make sense. It would give the new series a familiar feel for people who already play the games, and it could help connect the animated series more closely to the current Sonic games.

There are plenty of fictional worlds that are fun to watch or read about, but I'm not sure I'd actually want to live in most of them. Visiting for a day is a different story. You could spend a day exploring Hogwarts, walk around Middle-earth, visit the Baxter Building, see Jurassic Park before everything inevitably goes wrong, or even visit somewhere from a video game. I'd probably pick the Shire. I think I would enjoy hanging out with the hobbits and just relaxing. If you could visit one fictional place for 24 hours and then safely return home, where would you go?

I'm a few more episodes in now and somehow it keeps getting better. I'm also realizing I really need to go back and read more X-Men once I finish this. Still avoiding spoilers, but I'm really glad I finally started watching it.

I’d be okay with something like this as long as we still have the option to buy physical games. I’m a big supporter of physical media, so my biggest concern is making sure discs don’t disappear completely. I like actually owning a copy of the games I buy.

My kids lol but they've only seen the new Superman

I remember that! It's been so long since I've watched those.

Gambit is one of the X-Men characters I'm most interested in seeing when Marvel eventually introduces its new X-Men team, and I'm really curious who they'll choose to play him. As someone from Louisiana, one thing I really hope they get right is the accent. It would be nice to see an actor who can do it naturally, or even someone actually from Louisiana. Gambit's background is such a big part of the character that I hope they embrace it without exaggerating the accent to the point where it sounds ridiculous. Obviously, the actor still has to capture everything else that makes Gambit who he is, but I'd love to see Marvel really embrace his Louisiana roots. If they do it right, I could see him carrying his own solo movie. Who would you cast as Gambit?

Agreed. I don't like the idea of paying for something but not actually owning it. This has already happened with digital games that I bought my son and he learned at an early age to always get physical media when possible.

I’m only on Episode 4 of X-Men '97, but this show is so good! One thing I wasn’t expecting is how much X-Men lore I’ve apparently forgotten over the years. I keep watching and having those moments where something comes up and I realize I haven’t thought about it in forever and have to look it up. It’s also making me want to go back and revisit some of the older X-Men comics again once I finish the series. Anyone else watching X-Men '97? What did you think of it? No spoilers.

Welcome to the forum! I also love discussing comics and theories! Feel free to create a thread and start a discussion.

I’m pretty happy with the casting so far. At this point, I think I just trust Marvel to choose the right people for the remaining characters. The X-Men have so many iconic characters that it’s going to be interesting seeing what the full team eventually looks like.
