About Heroes

Writers: Brian Michael Bendis & Warren Ellis
Pencils & Art: Marc Silvestri and Top Cow Studios

omar69: So, Chris, start us off. What did you think of the Initiative?
XSimpson: oh man, well the Artwork was really good overall, even if Silvestri has changed A LOT from his old work, he still draws hot chicks. But we should do the critique in a page by page format...so Mr. Fantastic made a bald joke, which I bet Bendis laughed at, cheeky bastard, both of them. And why are we just now finding out that Sasquatch is still alive, thats a surprise only because they withheld it for way to long, we learn in creative writing that thats called being an asshole
XSimpson: so that was the first segment, what did you think about the new Vindicator being the Collective?
omar69: Fuck the New Vindicator, Guardian, or Captain Maple Leaf or whatever this fuck decides to call himself. Way to shit all over your readers of old Alpha Flight. Was there even a funeral for Puck, Shaman, or Guardian or anyone? Did Wolverine go and cut this fuck up for doing this to some of his best friends? So what do we do in honor of these fallen heroes? We give the bastard that killed them a membership and your old pal's costume and replace 90% of the Canadian team with Americans and Beta Ray Bill!
omar69: Fuck me running! Beta fucking Ray Bill!
XSimpson: LOL you said that shit in a fucking nutshell man
XSimpson: How many suits you figure Walter's goes through?
XSimpson: never mind
XSimpson: this issue felt like a Diamond Previews, the back IS fucking Previews!
omar69: I love Oeming and Kollins, but this is the brainchild of Bendis. Yeah fuck me in the eye socket some more Marvel.
XSimpson: thats hot
XSimpson: Okay moving on to the Thunderbolts
XSimpson: I'm against the assembly of this entire group, I've seen Penance before…as fucking Voldo in Soul Caliber
omar69: Penance is not Robbie...Penance is the new America that Jenkins was talking about. Myspace+Youtube+American Idol+Emo= Shitty character!
XSimpson: He's more Goth than Emo
XSimpson: I still have much to teach you
omar69: My left fucking nut is more goth than that bitch.
XSimpson: the pain thing though, I just thought about a middle aged man writing that and thinking, shut the fuck up
omar69: I actually have been enjoying the New Thunderbolts so nothing against Ellis. Its Suicide Squad meets Weapon X meets Warren Ellis.

XSimpson: I don't agree with Green Goblin but whatever
omar69: but I do not take that book to be seriously in Marvel continuity
XSimpson: yeah, no
omar69: much like I don't take 80% of the books Marvel puts out in Marvel continuity
XSimpson: I also don't like Swordsman's costume
XSimpson: he looks like a wussy paintball player
omar69: I think Silvestri is always a pleasure to look at, but it seems like his style has reached its limits. It hasn't changed in the last few years and that to me can be rather boring. Why the hell does he need a background artist? He's not superstar Pat Lee!
XSimpson: lol
XSimpson: see I think it has changed it's still identifiably him but I can tell a difference I actually liked the stuff with Jessica Drew, Carol Danvers and how she told off Iron Man
XSimpson: Plus another ass shot angle, nice
omar69: If this book is the beginning of Marvel comics, it is a rather DC mid 90's feel to it. I'm just waiting for Tony to go and kill all the guardians of the galaxy...err I mean Nova Corps and get their power! Four Captain Americas to take the cowl!
XSimpson: something fucking like that
XSimpson: okay so Tony says bring up the Avengers candidates I really wish they would stop showing random fucking characters for nostalgia's sake
omar69: Didn't care for the book, but damn that art is still pretty to look at. C-
XSimpson: he pulled up characters that don't fit that at all
XSimpson: Yeah it is, Spider-Woman saved this book C+
