    [Comics] What are some of your favorite heroes/villains from comics?

    Just to list a few from different universes....
    Marvel: Cable and Nightcrawler
    DC: Batman (of course)
    Image: Spawn (bought issues just to see how many ways they could draw his cape) / Darkness (same, was all about the artwork)
    Other: Conan (I love the stories and artwork, kept true to the frank frazetta style and the fantasy theme was cool and different)



    Also....anyone ever read Rising Stars by JMS? Was a pretty interesting story at the time and I felt like it sparked alot of future series and tv shows including Heroes on nbc. It's too bad they cut it short early cause of drama.

    Never read comics, but for what it's worth, Thomas Jane as "The Punisher" was the most badass super hero I've ever seen. That was one of my favorite movies 5 years ago (newer, over-the-top-violent Punisher blew).

    Spiderman.
    DC was never impressive. Each hero was generic and predictable. They didnt even realize how absolutely unstoppable their main hero was(his one weakness is a rock from a planet really far away that exploded and that his arch nemesis happens to have).

    Oooh yeeaahh
    Amalgam comics does that, but probably not how you mean. The characters from each universe are merged together.

    Like Darkclaw is a combination of batman and wolverine and looks like

    After having skimmed the Marvel Civil War series, I'm gonna say Luke Cage as the best hero ever.

    tl;dr - Marvel Universe storylines lately rock. Cosmic characters are entertaining. Meh to DC.



    Marvel Universe is my favourite. The first comic i picked up as a child was Spiderman #200 back in the 90s if i remember correctly. Since then he's been my favourite superhero.

    But lately the storylines coming from Marvel have just been spectacular.
    *Civil War
    *Secret Invasion
    *Dark Reign

    These were pretty cool to read in the earth settings. Addtionally, the hulk stories in the last 5 years (Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, and the storyline involving Red Hulk) have been a distraction from the normal characters. Plus its good to see heavyweights smashing each other's faces in all the time

    *Annihilation
    *Annihilation: Conquest
    *War/Realm of Kings
    *Thanos Imperative/Annihilators

    The main reason i love Marvel currently is the new attention they are giving their cosmic universe/characters. Nova, Quasar, Gladiator, Beta Ray Bill are all getting some prime-time spots. Its fantastic.


    All of this is not to say that i havent given DC a few goes. I've tried my hardest to get into many different comics and failed at all of them. The closest i came many years ago was reading Justice League Europe, and i liked it mainly because the characters didnt have a guy that could throw mountains around in their team.

    As for all of the other companies that are producing comics, i just feel when i pick one up that im so out of the loop and cant keep up, so i dont bother most of the time.

    About time! a comic book thread. I'm mainly a Marvel and Boom fan that's just because i haven't read much DC all though i've read a little of the Blackest Night story arcs. Also i've found that i lean towards the "anti-hero" characters.

    Favorite Hero:

    Deadpool
    Elijah Snow (Planetary)
    Spider-Man
    Max Damage (Incorruptible)
    Venom

    Villians:

    Plutonian (Irredeemable) <- if you haven't read this go out now and get it.
    Carnage
    The Four (Planetary)

    I still think the Saint of Killers (Preacher) is one of the best villains ever.


    I also second the recommendation to read Irredeemable. It's amazing.

    I would have to go with Billy the Butcher and his dog Terror from The Boys. Amazing comic and worth a read if you want a skewed look at super heroes.

    Villian wise it has to be The Clown Prince of crime himself, The Joker

    "Would you please let me join your p-p-party?
