who here used too be into the x-men? comic or cartoon? i was really into both when i was growing up... there was nothing quite like the Joe Madureira / Joe Kelly run in uncanny x-men... jeez im gonna sound like a real geek if no one replies too this :/ |
||||||||

LOVED THEM! Jim Lee was fave X-artist ever. Gambit was my fave X-man, him and Wolverine. I have a pretty decent collection of early-mid 90's X-men. I remember I was so damn happy to get Wolverine #75 and X-men #25, Wolvie getting the adamantium ripped out by Magneto... And Uncanny #266 (I think?) Gambit's first appearance. I remember a lot about them, I fucking LOVED them. |

:D i remember all that, personally my favorite time was 97/98 i stopped collecting after that, coz once Madureira and Matsuda went off too Image X-men went too shit :/ Deadpool was great too :) |

When the X-universe got all insane... kind of turned me off of comics altogether. When Professor X died or whatever happened... everything got turned around, the names of the comics changed... The Amazing X-Men, Weapon X, that stuff... that's when I quit collecting comics. Someday I'll relapse and spend shitloads on them again, but I'll have to catch up on YEARS of confusing. Collecting comics and learning all the backstories and getting old expensive issues is a pain in the ass. :-) |

that was the age of apocolypse man :) things only changed for 4 episodes then it went back too normal :) age of apocolyse was great! i loved that :D |

Actually, come to think of it, I DID stay with it a little longer after AOApocalypse, but the last X-comic I bought was an issue with a big fold out cover, a story about Gambit, Iceman and Rogue... I have no fucking idea why I quit comics. Hmph. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had SOME comics.. but not much i had a lot of cards though.. i have the entire set of marvel '92 (i think.. i forget which year exactly).. those were the days.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that actually was a shit issue, i remember it, rogue had broken up with gambit after she kissed him and saw his dark secret thing... which incidentally if your interested, his dark secret was that he helped sabretooth massecre the moorlocks ages ago or something... that took all of 3 years too find that out... god things moved slow... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shit issue, but 'twas nice and glossy... purdy pages and cover. I think the artist was Andy Kubert, he was pretty good. I have NO clue what's happening in comics right now. I don't see them sold in corner stores like they used to be, and I haven't gone in the comic shop in years. Batman could have died and the whole series stopped, and I wouldn't know. |

yeah same, i lost touch about 3 years ago... and yeah, looks pretty dead now... was at the newsagents a couple months ago and i flicked through an x-men, kinda looked like they were making it too much like that movie... the x-men movie was ok i guess... i dunno, oh well :) |

I have this cool Time Machine comic that my dad had when he was a kid... you know the Time Machine story that's coming out in theatres... it's pretty cool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Funk, explain this time machine story... is it about a guy that goes back to hunt dinosaurs, and steps on one little insignifigant bug that changes history when he goes back? (They were allowed to kill one dino, because research showed he was going to die anyway, but they were NOT to kill anything else) If not, then a big old FUCK for typing out all this stuff! |

i remember when they did a spoof of that in the simpsons, that was great :) |
||||||||

|
still collect em avidly..for those who have lapsed you have got to check out the stuff Grant Morrison is doing with New XMen and the new XForce rocks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the story is something like they go to the future or something, and the human race is divided into a group that lives and thrives on top of land, and one that lives below ground... and they're enemies or something... it's been a while since I've read the comic... |
||||||||

I absolutely loved the Age of Apocalypse.I wish the thing stayed in that alternate Universe..it was so Dark and Powerful..shame about the bollocky recent series with Apocalypse then merging with Cyclops.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yipes.......believe it or NOT i love the X-MEN..=)..the movie was a bit of a disappointment, at least for me. i had a friend in college who had the largest collection i'd ever seen. he would let me come over to his house and READ to my hearts content. i think i read at least a hundred comic's....i've loved comic's in general since i was a wee kiddy bopper. they were collectors issues i'm sure...... GREAT old episodes, i had to wear white gloves so i wouldn't get anything from my hands on them. hehehe (wish i remember which they were) i think the story lines aren't as good as they used to be. i still enjoy them. favorite character professor X....what a babe =) |

I have over 80lbs of comics sitting in my aunts house before i moved, it's probably to expensive to get them shipped across the USA, and i think my cousins might have torn them up anyways (their really young). I thought that age of apocalyspe was phat, but the stuff afterwards was crap. so i stopped collecting, and have yet to find anything that really interests me. |
||||||||

|
|
My favourite's were Gambit,Rogue,Gene and wolverine..ah i fucking love the x men..I have a few x men comics but i watched loads of x men cartoons |
||||||||

|
Green Arrow (Oliver Queen, before he let his son take over) from the early to mid '90s was the coolest. |

teapot : I´m a comic-book artist so...nice avatar Gambit ala Joe Mad! and inks T-Dog! Those were the days man. You should play the Capcom games they´re great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
O_O dude, i worship Joe Mad... im a comic book artist too... only amaturish i guess, but i learnt heavily from matsude and madureira... wow.. cool :D oh yeah and duncan roleau was the shit too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had a lot of stuff up on my envy.nu site, but then envy.nu died on me... but if you wanna see some of my drawings, theres some at http://www.geocities.com/teapotindustries the site is rather dead now, but the images still work :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was a huge spiderman fan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I´m no pro either but I already won 2 contests so not bad. Do you have Battle Chasers its drawn and written by Mad. I go check your stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only have battlechasers #6 other than that i found it really hard too find :/ did you ever check out "Kaboo" on the awesome label? back when matsuda did the pencils... it was great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I checked out your site but it only had 1 image, some manga influences maybe? I have BC from 1 to 9, yu could buy the TP which collects 1-5 it cost US $14.95, I´ve seen the Kaboom cover by MAD great stuff, I not big fun of Matsuda my fav are J.S.Campbell, Serpieri (italian art), Travis Charest and Jim Lee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh they are good... i was a fan of all the artists at marvel around... 97... madureira, matsuda, duncan roleau, ed mcguiness... and that guy who did x-force... pollina :) my mate jim who does comics too, he's right into mark bageley |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Marvel was cool until 98 then it got crazy! They changed the paper of the comics in which they were printed bad stories too much confusion, mark bageley is the bomb love his old stuff. If you want I can e-mail you a drawing or two since I dont have a web page. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah not a problem i would love that man :) teapot@hacman.nu look forward too checking it out |
||||||||
|

I have always chosen DC comics over Marvel. There have been a few exeptions but on the whole I think the quality of DC comics is better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love batman comics... nice and dark, they have atmosphere... but i never liked stuff like green lantern and superman, i thought they were pretty shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DC stuff is deliberatly kitch and it is that grasp on tradition that makes them good for me. Hellblazer is really good at the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Vertigo line of comics his the best love the Tim Bradstreets cover, Who here knows MAD comics they´re the best comics EVER! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had promise as an artist once, I was REALLY good... but I quit, and I bet I've lost any talent I used to have. I really wanted to draw X-men or Spiderman comics. As for DC, I really liked the ''Four Supermen'' storyline after Doomsday killed Superman. I still have every issue from that storyline. :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
teapot's right..about Joe Mad..I think I 've got every single issue he did..his stuff was brilliant from the very first issue he did with the Phalanx..Phalanx Covenant was another of my favourite cross overs... and I am a bit ashamed to say this but.Mr. Sinister is my all time X Universe character, followed by Apocalypse, followed by Wolverine..does that make me a twisted evil bugger? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mr sinister was a bit of a sissy in the cartoon, but in the comic he rawked :) and yeah, phalanx convenent was great :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what did you think of the second phalanx series? around 98? um I am a bit of a comic artist too..but my style is more..Adam Kubert..all the Kuberts actually...don't have a scanner so have nothing on my harddrive:( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have a scanner either, the only stuff i have online is at that site i posted above, i loved the second phalanx series, in my opinion madureira was at his prime then, and the new costumes and everything, it was just amazing i thought :) |
