So this is defiantly a jab at how she died last time right?

Buy Ultimate X-men Volume 1

Ultimate X-men volume 1 is now available for purchase through amazon and many other sites.

This series is what sparked my interest in reading comics, and since then I have been reading none stop.

This series is not what you would expect of an x men story, and despite that it got me reading x men. It's slice of life, mystery, intrege, and emotional. It's character driven, heartfelt and spooky but at it's core is an x men book.

This is a series that takes it's time and makes you care and as of issue 8, it's done waiting.

Ultimate x men is a book that you either love or hate, and if we want it to continue we need to show it, because i have a feeling that with ultimate wolverine coming out, if the money runs low, X-men will be first on the chopping block.

The ultimate universe.

I haven't said much about this one since the batfandom is just more fun on tumblr, but if I'm going to share my thoughts about comics online might as well talk about everything.

The new ultimate line has been a highlight of of my year, it is brilliant. The art, the characters, the subtle details, it all comes together into this lovely take on classic marvel stories.

Old ideas and new mix to create this sense of reinvention, not for the sake of it, but with a purpose in mind, a message. This new universe got me reading comics and I can't thank them enough.

Absolute Superman Review

Alright, it's here, lets get this over with.

(One absolute superman later)

Well I have MANY THOUGHTS. Spoilers ahead.

Firstly, krypton's culture being integral to the plot is a good move. I imagine this will be sort of a split focus style series following the El family as Krypton falls while circling back to Kal trying to process the trauma.

Kal's powers being nerfed (for now) is also a great choice, with him being unable to control it without the suit atm. Really great if they want a Lex plotline later.

Lois being a soldier means we are definitely getting some more daddy issues Lane drama like MAWS. Looking forward to how they develop

Not sure how i feel about Brainiac yet, too early too tell.

Now for the big one. Is this superman?

For the most part, yes.

Kal is lost in the world as before, but its because this time he doesn't know what he's fighting for. Here he's stuck in a limbo of wanting to help and not knowing how to do it.

This isn't the strong confident protector we know, but a timid boy trying to figure out his own moral compass when he just watched his whole world crumble beneath him.

All and all I'm looking forward to more from This new interpretation.

Roy stood anxiously in front of Jason, who was seated in on the floor of his apartment with a sewing kit and a wine glass. Jason maintained focus while carefully stitching a stab wound on his hip.

Roy: Jason, I’m begging you, go to a doctor!

Jason (not looking up): I’m sorry, is this our stab wound? No? So stay out of it.

He grabbed a bottle of Neosporin spray and haphazardly sprayed it on his wound, letting out a scream of pain for a few seconds before stopping. He cleared his throat and takes a casual sip of wine.

Jason (calmly): We should get wings tonight.

Roy (horrified): You and your family scare me.

Jason: I’m sorry, do I need heroin to heal the wound?

Roy crossed his arms and turned his back to Jason in frustration. Jason smirked as he applied a bandage to his wound.

Jason: I love our dynamic.

Roy: Mm-hm, and if we get wings, we’re getting them delivered. You’re not going out with an obvious wound.

Jason rolled his eyes, clearly unfazed by Roy's concerns.

Jason: Whatever you say, sweetie.

[typhoonquixol]

Sean Gunn will be playing WHO???

I've never seen this guy in a serious role before so him as Maxwell Lord of all people is a shock. The cunning businessman... really?

That will be interesting to see.

[typhoonquixol]

James Gunn's Superman has me scared.

So, don't get me wrong, I adore Gunn's work and have faith in the direction he's taking dc but I keep seeing more names attached to the film. and I have to ask, is this going to be a problem?

It's already confirmed that we'll be getting, Mister Terrific, Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, Engineer, Rick flag Sr. AND Maxwell lord.

Aside from Rick Sr this will be the general public's first introductions to these characters. That's great and all, like, get them into the universe as soon as possible. But all at once? I'm just worried about how much focus they'll get. Too uch and the muddy the waters, too little, they become glorified cameos.

Gunn is obviously taking a risk here, and while I have hope, i can't help but worry.

Tell me a soft memory

[typhoonquixol]

Wow. Just wow. This is a seriously well thought out response. The amount of thought and care here is insane and the concept is just top notch super power exploration.

You're a superhero who specializes exclusively in stopping disasters. The other heroes just don't understand why you need to remain neutral to the villains…

[typhoonquixol]

Jason: There's a thin line between being a genius and being an idiot. The person I’m talking about is right here at the table, outside, sitting next to me.

A deeply sleep-deprived Tim, who had been staring blankly into his glass of tea, lifted his head, already bracing for the response.

Jason: Tim uses that line like a jump rope.

Stephanie (enjoying this): Hm, yes, yes. Tim, do you have a rebuttal?

Tim (side-eyeing Jason): I will knock your ass out.

Cass (playing along): Good rebuttal, Jason?

Jason: Keep dreaming, kid.

Tim: We’re not that far apart in age!

Jason: Yeah, but I’m taller than you.

Tim: I’m a better fighter than you.

Jason: You can't shoot a gun.

Tim: My pain tolerance is better than yours!

Jason: Being a glutton for pain isn’t a flex; it just puts you on par with Bruce. Just keep drinking your tea and stay quiet.

In a sudden burst of energy, Tim splashed the entire cup of tea into Jason's face and took off running.

Tim: How’s that for stupid, jackass!

Jason: Get back here!

Jason chased after Tim as Stephanie and Cass sat at the table, watching the two men run around the backyard, entertained and enjoying their drinks.

Jason: "Don't attack, it's me."

Dick, staring at the target through the scope: "Finally, what took you so long--" *turns and stares*

Jason, in Discowing suit: "Bike had problems. What?

Dick: "You know what."

Jason: "Come on, you don't like my Halloween costume? Literally had to fight Robin 3 for it."

Dick:

Jason, grinning: "Too soon?"

Dick: "Let's just get this over with, I can't even look at you right now."

Jason, muttering as he takes the scope from him: "Holy self-loathing Batman."

Dick: *shoves him off the roof*

The villain swore that they would return in 1000 years to take revenge on the hero's descendants. When they wake up, however, they see another villain has already won, and the hero's descendants desperately need help.

what i love about the dc absolute universe is that it’s not an edgy version of these characters, they’re not attempting a “what if your favourite hero was a bad guy”. no, instead it tells us that the circumstances in which these heroes become are so different and sometimes so adverse and YET they choose to be heroes, they choose kindness, compassion, justice and truth. That it doesn’t matter how you’re brought in to the world, it matters what you do when you have the opportunity and circumstance to do better. at its core that’s exactly what wonder woman, superman and batman represent.

WAIT NO WAY.

I saw this one on YouTube today, this is a tumbr first.

Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.
