A thread to post and discuss characters we've been interested in reading.For me? Captain Britain.
Nobody reads comics..
>>155223283I love Moore's run. One of my favorite Marvel comics.I read the Thorpe/Moore/Delano/Davis Marvel UK run (in the original colors) and should be jumping into Excalibur at some point.
>>155224137Thank you for the suggestion anon. I'm currently reading that run where Frank got a hold of a War Machine suit
Everything from 1976-86 is all at least worth a once through, super underrated character. After that it definitely becomes more of a taste issue with how weird it gets. Then you have Excalibur which is more than weird, but a turns to a real love it or hate it thing.
>>155223529Not even you?
>>155223283Dr Strange and Moon Knight.
>>155223283Just read the Moore stuff, and even then you're reading it for the fury and jaspers. Not a great character desu and I'm a brit.
>>155225726>I'm a britYou have no say lol
>>155225849so was Moore you faggot
>>155223283Read the omnibus last year. The original run is pretty shit, I guess read some of the early issues just to see characters get introduced but otherwise you can just jump to the Marvel Team-Up issue with him and the Black Knight strips that follow on from thatThe Black Knight strips into the Thorpe/Moore/Davis run were great, and the original run of Excalibur was too
>>155223283Wasn't Captain Britain something like a "proto-spiderverse"?
>>155223283currently reading every single reverse flash story because i find the character cool and am working a project heavily based on him (also an allusion to the jerk off meme is present in his very first appearance lmao)
>>155223283I'm curious about Captain Britain's relationship with the X-Men. I know he was part of Excalibur, but he's had a close relationship with them for a long time. With even Psylocke taking up the mantle for a while.
>>155226779
>>155226924Betsy got folded into the X-Men because she was ostensibly Claremont's character and he wanted to keep writing her. Brian didn't have anything to do with the team until Excalibur, and for the most part that book was just Captain Britain with some token X-Men around for the sales bump.Betsy's been Captain Britain twice. The first was because Brian wouldn't cooperate with the government so they convinced her to be the government approved Captain Britain (until she nearly died and Brian had to bail her out). The second was modern writers being hacks and tearing down everything about Captain Britain in relation to Brian and making the entire thing about Betsy. Unfortunately this has yet to be reversed
>>155227015You've a weak stomach, then.
>>155225706Their team-up is great, would recommend
>>155226779Yeah. The Captain Britain Corps.
>>155227048>Unfortunately this has yet to be reversedmight be reversed in that post-Armageddon X-Men book
>>155225621No
>>155225859Is that why he is shit
>>155228982He's great despite being British.
>>155229108Overrated in my opinion.
>>155229118I think he's underrated these days.
>>155223283Henry Cavill should play him
>>155229570He's too old.
>>155224137how does it make you feel that it's nowadays part of x-men lore?
>>155230281Nah
>>155223283What are some other interesting Marvel characters to read about that you don't really see a lot of
>>155231399Man-Thing
>>155232671Swamp Thing ripoff?
>>155232687More like, the character that first appeared one month before Swamp Thing, and that had his subversive run in the 70s, not in the 80s
>>155233184hmmmmmm
>>155223283I've been digging Nova as of late
>>155231399Sleepwalker
Does Marvel's Dracula have any single runs
>>155233400Tomb of Dracula was an ongoing throughout the 70s yes
>>155230311He always had X-Men in his DNA, by way of Claremont, and Moore's run is a rehash of Days of Future Past (a better version, in my opinion).I don't really follow X-Men anyway.
>>155233286never heard of that one
>>155223283Doesn't his powers come from the suit though?
>>155236672I think so.
>>155230311Every attempt to bring back the Fury has been shit and cheapened the original story
>>155233567Oh cool!
>>155239176I also recommend it. The Wolfman and Frankenstein books were good too.
>>155224137Very much appreciated. I have no idea what I'm going into but I love his design.
>>155229570Isn't he bogged now?
>>155240804youre thinking of jim carrey
>>155240804Nah Henry is in great shape and looks better than most of the celebs in their 20s
