Anyone else read character's voices in the actors who portrayed them on screens voices in their heads?  Charles Xavier turns up and straight away he's Patrick Stewart in my head...

Either way it's better than Shocker's double duvet.

COME AT ME BRO

Shocker's outfit never bothered me. It certainly looks different but given the power of his gauntlets, I always assumed that's what the necessary protective insulation he'd have to wear would look like.

99% of characters have their animated voices in my head. The big one that doesn't is Spider-Man. I've never heard a perfect voice for him.

I do hear the animated Batman and Mark Hammill for Joker, now you mention it. 

[MalaCloudy Black]

As it should be. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammill should be Batman & Joker forever.

In case anyone is as insane as me, Comixology has each of the six Clone Saga Epic books down to £2.99 each. Also they have the "true" Clone Saga of what they should have done for the same sort of price.

In all honestly I loved this story from what bits I was able to read in the UK printed books. Ben Reilly is one of my favourite comic characters and thought making him the "real" Peter Parker was a great move so I'm really looking forward to reading the entire thing (400+ pages each book!) and trying to understand the hatred it gets these days.

Now when are they going to release the complete Ben Reilly Epic in the UK for a reasonable price?

[Avenged Probably]

It's all on Marvel Unlimited now as well, and you can get a month's subscription for a lot less than the price of buying them all

When I read comics all the characters sound like me. It can make for some odd stories

Meh, Unlimited can be a pain to read through when it crosses over so many books. I've actually got Unlimited I just find the interface can be a bit awkward, whereas this is the full story in one nice and easy package.

In some cases yes, but they have the Clone Saga as an 'event' now, so it takes you through it issue by issue.

Some awesome Weapon X art work from Saad Irfan. Somewhat NSFW.

Huge spoilers for Cap America - Steve Rogers #2 regarding last issue's cliffhanger. Seriously, don't click the link if you don't want to know absolutely anything until it comes out (which I'm guessing it's probably tomorrow, I dunno).

 

 

Honestly, I always thought it would be the Red Skull's influence, just not via Kobik, I thought it would be, since Skull now has telepathic powers, it would be through those, but it still makes sense. It would make absolutely zero sense if Cap really was a Hydra agent. Marvel saying it wasn't brainwashing or something like that kind of sealed it for me, this is the same company that said Peter Parker would never return and Otto was THE Spider-Man forever, only to bring Peter (albeit via mental ghost form) in the very first issue (I think) of Superior Spider-Man.

So I finished reading Injustice:  God Among Us.  I loved it, but I have a few gripes...

 

I was waiting and waiting for The Flash to make the jump to Team Batman since he disagreed with Superman's methods but it never happened.  I hated the way Wonder Woman was written, she seemed to be completely void of any personality and for little reason seemed even more determined than Superman to conquer the world.  I also couldn't work out how Superman just incinerated Kalibak's entire Army in a second despite them being spread across the entire planet at different locations...

[I Don't Mind]

I don't know if anyone continued reading Moon Knight after Warren Ellis left it, but I finished Brian Wood's subsequent run, and Cullen Benn's run after it. It was like the trauma of watching The Matrix Trilogy all over again.

WW is the evil one in that book. She wants king so damn bad and gets into Superman's ear when he's vulnerable to try and make it happen. Regular WW beating her and taking over that world's Amazon army is a highlight of the game's story just because of how much of a douche Alt-WW is. To me Superman is still a good guy deep down throughout that series and just keeps getting manipulated and pushed by people. At some point he must go over the edge though because he's complete evil in the game wanting to level cities and kill everyone that goes against him.  I think Flash never fully turned because he still saw the good of Superman's rule. Like or not people were no longer blowing each other up any more. By the time it got to the point where it was for sure time to turn Supes was killing Shazam, a character that has a far greater chance against Superman than Flash. He was probably just afraid after that.
