Just Saw Iron Man 3
#16
To newt (heh, newt, fun to say) I will try to find a site online to read them. I would buy them, but there are only 3 comic stores I know of. 1 gets the soft cover books, 1 charges $6 an issue, and the place that has it all sells them for $4.50, however its hard to get older issues from them. On May 4th was free comic book day (to those who don't know, its just some free comics made to draw in new fans) and they sold old issues for $1 each. There were 6 people in front of me and my brother, 2 were there from the night before, and the other was a father and 3 kids. The father used steroids a lot, and the kids are swag fags, and would barge in, and block everyone off, then never bought anything. By the time you could get past, the store was crowded so I didnt get anything. If I do enjoy the comics though, I will buy them.

To supersquid, if you want a series to see characters die, get suicide squad. They basically invent people just to kill them. I see Batman as the scape goat for everything. If the creators cant find a way to stop a hero gone evil, then batman can handle it straight away. It can get annoying at times, but hey, its what Batman does.

As a extra something to the DC fans, apparently in the book forms of the comics, Captain Marvel (or Shazam as they call him now (which is ridiculous)) aren't featured, yet will get his own spin-off book featuring all of his comics in it. Hopefully if it does well enough, it will make his own comic series.

The character death was more implied for the movie, I just found that it was too perfect and too inhuman. I love it when movies try to be more down to Earth with themselves. I mean its cool that they ended the Iron Man trilogy and all of that but it would've been nicer to see Stark lose more if that makes sense?

Oh and character death in comics isn't a problem! :P They have a tendency to kill characters off enough anyway. Look at Damien Wayne dying in the new 52. Bats has basically lost his mind now! :P

My views on the DC hate in this thread are below.
Sorry for all of the text, I didn't mean to make it so long winded! >.<

If you hate DC you'll love the new Arrow TV series

suit worn by the guy who is the Green Goblin? Or have I got that
completely wrong?
Yes, Norman Osborn and Obidiah Stane's son keep messing with Stark Industries and they got a hold of the Iron Patriot armor. Iron Patriot was used for the Dark Avengers, which was somewhat amusing.

I don't know enough about Marvel for you to take the above as anything more than a grain of salt.

Phoenix, if you'd like to read comics(Like Extremis) an easy place to start is Barnes and Noble. They have a comic section, and if they don't have what you want, you can ask them to order it for you. Extremis is collected in a nice paperback, making it easy to gain access to and read.

I live in Australia and the cheapest was comics etc which now sells at american prices. The only stores we have is Comics Etc, Daily Planet, and Ace Comics. I may try buying them online again like I did with the death of the family set.

You shouldn't need to go to a comic store, though. Does Australia have a chain book store?

Not any that sells comics. Trust me, the closest place that would sell any would be the news agency, and they only get 3-4 random ones a year.

A Zombie Riot, what the hell happened to Kirby? Man I've been away for a while, anyways I saw it and I had a great time. Yeah the Mandarin thing was a little off, but I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I was going to, and cheers on them for actually misleading pretty much everyone from what they thought they were going to see. It was the best damn plot twist I've seen in a while.

That being said, one quick spoiler tag:

Kirby got replaved with Yoshi when this place first started off... or well when I joined. I took the gif version of that Yoshi and replaced it with the current one to stop lag.

Nothing happened to Kirby. Better question is, what happened to Yoshi. See, Kirby ate Yoshi. As you can tell from the picture, we can't see more than the head. The little pink things that we see as "shoulders" are actually Kirby's legs. So, basically, he is a pink Yoshi head.
