" Another comic fan! Hello :)
Favourite story? Wow, that's so hard!
Some of my favourites:
Daredevil: Fall From Grace
Sandman's Midsummer Night Dream
The Dreaming 1st story arc (Kain and Abel)
Batman's "The Mud Pack" where all the clayfaces teamed up. An oldie!
X-Men: Inferno
Marvels (The one by Alex Ross)
Favourite artist? Arrr...
Alex Ross, Frank Miller, Mike Mignola (hehe,
not so sure after Atlantis!)
Ah... and of course Mike Allred! Love his
art on Madman, and now he's doing X-Force!
Mind you, my lists change every week
"
I like Daredevil: The Man Without Fear story, redone and drawn by John Romita, Jr. It's some great stuff.

" Hey,
Are you a big fan of comic books and stuff? I used to be.
What's your favorite story/saga in comics?
Mine would have to be out of the Onslaught story, of course, Fatal Attractions (when Wolvie lost his adamantium), Heroes Reborn (Fantastic Four, at least) and Kingdom Come (Futuristic DC Universe stuff)
Who's your favorite artist?
My favorite was Joe Maduriera, but it's starting to be Ian Churchill or Ed McGuiness.
"
Cool! Another comic book fan!
Well, I don't have an "ultimate" favorite story arc... But well, some of my favorites are:
Weapon X: What a cool story! Drawing and storytelling blends to create a kickass story! It's gory, touching, reflexive and very cool overall!
X-Cutioner's Song: one of my favorites X-Overs ever!
Onslaught: Of course! I love characters with overwhelming power! Plus he's a "villian" and I love bad guys!
The adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix: The story about Cable, Strife and Apocalypse in the far future! A must read!
Age of Apocalypse: I admitt it, I'm a sucker for alternate realities, and this one kicked major ass!
Fantastic Four vs X-Men: A story about trust, love, friendship and hope.
Mutant Massacre: Gory and classic!
Spiderman: The lost Years: Yeah, the clone saga, sue me...
Maximum Carnage: Oh yeah, Carnage and Venom
The black costume saga: yeah, Venom's first apareance
Heroes Reborn and Heroes Return: I liked Heroes return most.
The Dark Phoenix Saga: Instant Classic!
And many many more!
My favorite artist is Jim Lee, but some others follow him very closely, like Jae Lee, Ian Churchill, Breth Booth, Jhon Romita Jr., Sal Buscema, Carlos Pacheco, Salvador Larroca, Ed benes, and many many more...
My favorite writers are: Stan Lee (of course!), Scott Lobdell, Chris Claremont, Alan Moore, Brian Michael Bendis and again, many many more!
Rid, Holiday and IronD likes comics too!

I had forgot all about the X-Cutioners Song. I thought that was good. Especially how it ended with Cable and Stryfe "dying" and all.
I loved the Age of Apocalypse. I don't have all the books, but I've got all the Astonishing X-Men books and I've got X-Men Alpha and X-Men Omega and a X-men Chronicles #2 (Where Gambit leaves the X-Men because Rogue chose Magneto over him, if you haven't read it you should, it's cool stuff) and I had Weapon X and X-Man #1, but I think someone stole em.
I also like the Spider-Man clone saga. Then it got a little too confusing with all the different Spidey books to follow, I just got lost and gave up and came back when Maximum Clonage took off.
I like Maximum Carnage so much I bought the SNES game (which got sold), but now it's on my computer.
I've never really got to read the dark phoenix saga. I look for the graphic novels to buy. It saves me some money. I haven't found one on that story yet.
I also liked the death of Superman, Knightfall, and a lot of X-Men stuff Jim Lee and Chris Claremont did in the early 90's.

Well, Ironman's armor is pretty powerful, it has Superman level of strenght, and many other gizmos, but certainly, Doom's armor is much much powerful than Ironman's...
As for the Infinity gems, they are guarded by a different guardian...
Thanos tricked them to get all the gems.
"
Doom's armor is powerful, but it's more on par with Iron Man's armor, not more powerful than. If it's full power is unleashed IM's armor could probably take out a small town or more. Doom's edge is that he not only has the armor, but he's also second in line to the title of Sorcerer Supreme (currently held by Dr. Strange).

" As far as Comics go, X-MAN (Nate Grey from Age of Apocolypse) is absolutly my fav. In fact Onslaught if you remeber he was the second guy Onslaught went after because of his tremendous power. Fucking shame they killed him off (XMAN #75 he sacrifices himself for the earth). I personally think Age of Apocolypse was the best series ever in comics. Seeing all the characters in a whole new world. Magneto rules as leader of the Xmen. The Onslaught series was amazing from what I saw also. Sure enought the Infinity Gauntlet was awsome as well. They called out all the big boys to fight Thanos too. To bad comics are not what they used to be. Art work and story has reached a new low amongst 95% of comics. All well still nice to reminice.
"
Cool Heidern! Yeah, Nate Grey was pretty powerful! He played the most important role in the Onslaught saga IMHO, he teached Xavier how to break the limits of the astral plane, and because of that, Onslaught was after him. Sinister tried to "help" Nate, but Onslaught tricked him, and made Natan part of himself.
And yeah, the Age of Apocalypse was cool as all hell!, man, one of the best series of all time!

Good to know we have simalar tastes Onslaught. Hey, I wanted to collect the whole Onslaught series but I dont know which comics to get. Is there a listing or do you or does anyone know what ones to get? I think it effected every marvel comic for two of each right? I really want to see the entire series... Not just bits and pieces. Thanks!

Ah, but you guys are forgetting so many memorable stories. Like the first 12 or so issues of Ultimate Spider Man and Ultimate X-men, the Sentient Armor Saga of Iron Man, the Future Imperfect saga of The Hulk (that was AWESOME), Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, Kingdom Come, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Marvels, Earth X...geez. Personally, I think that comics are as good as they have always been. It's just that the whole comics industry is a little slow rigth now.

Oh yeah, we're forgetting many many cool storylines!

I LOVE Kingdom Come! There is a sex scene in it somewhere. At least that's what the writer said.
Yeah, the comic industry is kinda slow right now, but when JLA/Avengers comes out I think things will pick up. Plus Marvel has been telling Woverine's origin, but I haven't seen any of the books or even tried. I think Wolverine is better without an origin. They'll probably use it with more stuff with him and Jean for him to bitch to her about, and they'll be closer because he's "never told anyone this before"
y'know what I mean?
