>I fucking love MARVEL COMICS!!
Yeah but e which comics?

>>149100460 (OP)
>>149100695

Anything published before 1990. It's where the masterworks are.

>>149100460 (OP)
The hulk and the punisher but before 2010
I don't like the green doors and the one below all retcon

>>149100845
anon, that was set up in the late 90's and 00's with Peter David
Marvel just told him no on continuing the plot because he wanted to kill Bruce for good and have Hulk swap to other hosts

>>149100479
milk.

>>149100460 (OP)
I'm not really sure why I like Hyperion so much. I don't even like the one that Gruenwald wrote that was the OG one.

Scarlet Witch maybe? But as I read more Marvel comics, I'm getting the feeling that every character is turned awful or removed after a while.

>>149100479
based MJposter

>>149100460 (OP)
There's no one like him. A character with great lessons and themes, and some of the most iconic moments in comics. Also some of the best runs. But lol who cares about the last decades, you can say that about the whole industry

>>149100460 (OP)
Why are the heroes attacking the ground?

>>149106609

>our favorite MARVEL COMICS character
Carnage.
>Why
CARNAGE RUUUUUUUUUUUUUULES

>>149106609
It's the head of Galactus. He's bald

>>149106683
YOUR MOTHER HUNG HERSELF GRRRAAAAHHHHHHHH

The Paulmazing Spider-Paul.

>>149100460 (OP)
Hulk
because I read all his comicbooks in 2008, really good character I love even john byrne and erik larsen runs. paul jenkins and bruce jones runs are good.

>>149100460 (OP)
Spider-Man.
My favourite design was the McFarland era.
>>149100479
FPBP. the issue where she tells her childhood story to Pete was fantastic.

>>149104186
Based choice, and sadly with any character you have to focus on the good times, ignore the bad times and tell the people obsessed with the bad times that they need to shut up

>>149107904
no lies detected

>>149100460 (OP)
Mephisto

>>149100460 (OP)
Gambit because he is cool, charming and handsome

>>149100460 (OP)
luv me some wolverine action and especially when it's not the tights and costumes type

>>149108298
My favorite story has to be the one where he helps some guy pay off his debt to the mafia. It has one panel where he's thrown into a lion pit and stares them down. Good stuff. But I can't remember the name of the story.

>>149100460 (OP)
Unfortunately I'm a big kamala fan
>>149100579
Do you think he supports Israel?

>>149102322
It does a body good.

Generic answer but Spider-Man
The quipping is a guilty pleasure of mine.

>>149110097
>Unfortunately
nothing to be shamed about, Kamala is cool don't let /co/tards convince you otherwise

used to tell myself it was because they were brand new (relatively speaking) but seeing as it's been 20 years I think these guys are here to stay with me

fpbp

Started reading the X Men during the utopia phase so DR Nemesis (stereotypical grumpy science hero but I enjoyed him), Magneto as a goodie, Namor, Cyclops, Pixie (cute), Emma Frost (liked her attitude and arogance), Beast (even though he quit the team), Danger (like robot girl who can do anything), Ariel (alien mutant teleporter, dresses like the 80s never ended), Rogue and Nightcrawler (they should do more brother/sister team up stuff)

Cap because hes most like a DC character.

>>149116113
Because he was made around the same time. Most Marvel characters are relatively new in comparison. It suits him in-universe too, being a hero from a bygone era who somehow survived into modernity.

>>149100460 (OP)
>I fucking love MARVEL COMICS!!
This is Nu Marvel
Not the real Marvel comics

>>149116591
How is MARVEL doing as a brand these days anyway? Like no one gives a shit outside of Rivals rn it seems.
I know there were comics tubers saying Rivals was causing kids to show up to their LCS but I call bullshit even the MCU failed to do that.

>>149100460 (OP)
Marvel is just a bunch of radioactive faggots

>>149116716
Nah, some of them were born that way.

>>149100460 (OP)
I don't like characters, but I like plenty of Marvel comics.

>>149116591
Wow from the thumbnail I thought that was Miracleman. Well it definitely is Marvelman

>>149100460 (OP)
Him.
Cool costume, cool weapons and a tragic past.
Pretty funny when well written. BFF with Spidey and Wolvie. Makes fun of LGBT characters and culture.

>>149100460 (OP)
shant

>>149116113
Cool art

>>149100460 (OP)
spiderman from the 80s

>>149100460 (OP)
Jesas that Ghost Rider. Anyway, Peter David made me like Bruce Banner, but I was fed Peter Parker too when I was young.
So Spider-man and Hulk.

>>149110097
She is the only good "legacy" character. Be proud anon.

>>149121709
Miles is good when he isn't written by a shounen-obsessed self-inserter but I agree Kamala is better than him. I wish Sam was more popular though :(

>>149121897
Nah, I don't like the idea of Spider-man being a "legacy name". I feel like it should be something intimate to Peter.
They should just have left Miles in 1610.

>>149100460 (OP)
daredevil because he's the man without fear

>>149102935
Good taste.

>>149121897
I miss Sam.

>>149123108
bruh she had like 1 issue

>>149123184
She's sexy

Galactus and moon knight

>>149122291
Spider-Man has had variants long before Miles though, Miguel was literally a legacy character and he took up the name since his powers were similar to the Spider-Man of his past. meanwhile Mayday had a very successful solo run and she was Peter's successor.

>>149123972
One of those was from a "possible future" timeline, and the other from an alternate timeline that literally span out of an issue of What If? There were one-off stories where they met, but neither of them were around permanently in the present and being set up as his inevitable successor who would take over from Peter when he retired or died.

A hero having a successor that's outside of regular continuity is no big deal, even if that character is popular enough to sustain their own book or show. Being set up as a legacy mantle in the main continuity and conditioning the audience to just wait for this guy to pass the torch and go away is a terrible idea.

>>149124242
I shouldve mentioned I dont disagree that Miles shouldve stayed in 1610. I just wanted to say Spider-Man being a "legacy name" has existed for a while, AU or otherwise

>>149124263
NTA, that doesn’t mean you have to like it.

>>149123108
>>149123184
fucking FRAUD, she doesnt deserve to be wear the Spider-girl mantle

>>149100460 (OP)
Based MarvelGODS!!!!! For me, it's Thor. Just look at him. He INSPIRES ME!!

>>149100460 (OP)
>Name your favorite MARVEL COMICS character
Hulk
>why
You already know!

for me it's gotta be Deadpool, he's a guy who's just been absolutely FUCKED by EVERYTHING. Fucked by his circumstances, fucked by his friends, fucked by his enemies, fucked by bad writers, fucked by expectations, fucked by his mind, fucked by himself too.
He's not a good person by any stretch of the imagination but he constantly struggles in a way that is not heroic because he has a noble heart or any of that, it's because in a literal sense you cannot kill this guy: He IS the cancer, so might as well keep going even when there's no hope, if all there is to life is suffering, then let's suffer on and try to make light of it, the audience might enjoy it.
He also is a fan of Captain America and so am I so there's that.
>>149124929
Is it because he is "strongest there is"?

>>149100479
>simping for a literal WHORE
l.m.a.o

>>149126187
>He's not a good person by any stretch of the imagination
Saved the world several times, protected his daughter and made sure she'd be raised properly, loved his girlfriend(s). I get that you get off to the antihero aspect but "by any stretch of the imagination"?

>>149126327
>loved his girlfriend(s)
you mean wives?
they're all dead because of him

>>149124929
Based.

Where do I end with marvel reading? 2011, aka before Disney goes full on with Marvel Now in 2012?

>>149126405
Carol, Natasha, Satana, Shiklah, Jennifer, Mercedes, Gretchen, Vanessa, Orksa, Inez and Raven are doing fine. What the fuck are you talking about?

>>149126435
Infinity Gauntlet unironically

>>149126327
Doing good things doesn't undo bad things, that's been a core part of his stories since the 90's bro

>>149126645
When did I say undo? My point is if you don't think "any stretch of the imagination" can consider someone who saved the multiverse (trillion of lives, to infinity) a good person, you're being a dramatic woman.

>>149126676
I feel like your argument here boils down to
>He killed millions
>...To save billions
Which is a meme and makes no sense. Even without all that Wade is a pretty shitty dude overall and constantly causes problems for everyone around him. What's important is that regardless of how bad things get he will keep trying to do what's right even though he is rarely ever certain of what that is.
He's not a good person, but he tries to be.

>>149126771
I'm not asking for Wade's opinion. You said "no one, by any stretch of the imagination" could think he's a good person, but clearly, going by all the Thanos, Wolverine, Ozymandias and Hitler apologists, you're wrong.

>>149100460 (OP)
Hulk because he’s a true struggler.

I like powerful characters that still get hurt/their asses kicked but come out on top from sheer willpower and determination alone.

>>149124929
Hulkanon I kneel

>>149126258
> implying ultimate mj is a whore
> implying you even read comics

>>149100460 (OP)
I love characters that cause other characters to groan when they see them coming. Also I just think the conceit of her origin - that she pulled off an insanely impressive feat during her training and it immediately swelled her ego to massive proportions - is really fun.

>>149100460 (OP)
man i fucking love the hulk and the avengers my favorite is the early avengers lineups, hulk, iron man, thor, ant-man, wasp, captain america, scarlet witch, quicksilver, vision, ms marvel, wonder man, hawkeye, tigra. I wish they used some of them more often wspecially hank and janet they seem to get little love despite being there since the early days and hank is probably a top contender for most character assasinated comic book character, any growth he has eventually gets reverted back into the guy who best his wife.

>>149124929
Hulk is a big green bitch.

>>149127683
I wonder if she ever ordered coffee under the name Madame MacEvil.

>>149128539
It rings so... efficiently!

>>149100460 (OP)
Rom
Nothing too specific, he was just the first run I finished reading from start to finish

>>149129508
Rom? Space Knight Rom? Really?

>>149129816
You got a problem, punk? It's a classic.

>>149100460 (OP)
Based.

My guy, Scott. He's just real, just a guy.

>>149132431
He's watched far too many movies.

>>149129816
>Space Knight Rom
nah anon was talking about Rom the Vacuous Spider actually
