[bigstevecw]

so powers is good ?

[swiv2d]

4 pages of butt sex...Damn!

[brotherjustincrowe]

Did Bendis shoot your dog?

[comicculturewarrior]

Yes! Yes he did...and the bastard's gonna pay! HE'LL PAAAAAAAY!!!

LOL!

WOW! Comic book geeks and sex! Homo or hetero! Difficult to imagine!

[stevenrocks5937]

I gotta say, I'm really suprised that Bendis went 1 for 3 with an RBI double on these reviews. I was certain he'd do an Alfosno Soriano on all three books.

BTW, are you guys gettin' kickbacks from Redbull and 7-eleven. I always get thirsty watching these vids.

[ClaudeParish]

I think Marvel pushes 'hetero' sex so that human sexual reproduction will occur, virtually guaranteeing future audiences of Marvel zombies. If Marvel did Broadway shows or interior decorating, then, you'd see lots of 'homo' sex being pushed in your face. I think I mean that in a good way. Logic. It works when you let it.

[comicculturewarrior]

LOLZ!

Good one. So THAT's what the Spiderman on Broadway show is gonna do!

Elliott

[comicculturewarrior]

Really E? You are way too easily amused.

[deemar325]

Wow you really thought that through to the end lol

[MicahSps]

I'm not comfortable with Marvel pushing Heterosexual sex in my face. I find it offensive and detrimental to our society as a whole.

[comicculturewarrior]

He he.

It feels like there has been a number of indy books coming out in the past two weeks or so, any direction in which are the worthwhile ones?

[comicculturewarrior]

Chew, of course, but we're always talking that book up. Plus it keeps John Layman off the streets.

Elliott

[comicculturewarrior]

Check out our blog if you haven't. Every week our readers and I let each other know what we are buying. It's a good place to see what books are out there that you may be missing. I do the post every Tuesday and its called "Who's Getting What This Week?"

[agent42q]

That's right! I will admit, I keep forgetting about the blog. But without both of your soothing voices I'm not sure it will be as good as the channel. But I'll give it peek tonight.

[deemar325]

The blog is really good, it's the youtube channel turned to 11

[Venom829]

How long was Bendis reprinting his newsarama interviews in his Powers books? Wonder what the fanboy reaction would be if he did that in New Avengers and Dark Avengers?

[deemar325]

I doubt any of his fans would notice, his stories in NA/DA is pretty much Bendis talking too himself in various characters voices. Except John Suintres is the Sentry

[kurumais]

plus well over 100 issues do we need to explore walkers past? from what ive seen of the murder victim it couldnt happen to nicer guy

[kurumais]

i have to agree with you E i was disappointed too i was psyched to have this book back its been one of favs since it started but i found it sort of mean spirited and the 50s rat pack flash back didnt seem to jive with everything we know about walker and his past. ok the save grace was walker was dino always my fav rat packer but he took his hero and made him an obnoxious jerk and walker has never been that. plus after well over 100

[locusmortis]

This issue was almost as bad as the monkey sex issue.

It had everything that was bad about bendis writing and nothing that used to be good. Even Oemings art was looser, like he didn't care for this too much.

[Venom829]

When we come back, we will go to more safe enviorments, namely books we look AGH ELLIOT YOU #$%@BAG, NO JUST KIDDING JUST KIDDING-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to do that, no way I could resist, all in the name of fun!

[mguy1977]

Sounds like I need to catch up & buy the last 6 tpbs of Powers including vol. 13 tpb when it comes out to have a clue. Yes Elliott?

Matthew

[Avengers24]

thanks for reviewing powers i was on the fence for buying it 4 bucks i get save lol

[comicculturewarrior]

I say wait for the trade. Maybe the book will find itself again as the first story arc finishes.

Elliott

[andresreydecastro]

Yeah, man, keep the faith...

[funclip31]

Great vid guys! seriously!

[comicculturewarrior]

Thanks funclip.

[generaldark]

is it safe to come out behind my rock now??? lol im surprised however, 2 strikes from bendis but you guys actually liked one of the *claps* teeheehee :D look forward for the next round!

[LEGOcinema15]

I remember first reading Powers, mind you i read USM and some of his other mainstream stuff first and I'm like wow he copies himself... a lot. I'm actually considering making a list about how many movies and what movies he's taken a line of dialogue from, makes a reference to, etc. It would be a long list... especially since I have about 200+ Bendis books (mostly his good stuff).
