The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

@Sep That's strange. I had a Marvel Unlimited subscription earlier in the year and I'm in England so you definitely can get Marvel Unlimited in the United Kingdom.

@Morden Man

Just wasn't playing ball, but as I said spend enough money as is so I'll make do :P

There are definitely ways to read old volumes without breaking the bank account depending on your morals of course.

@Lord Wraith

I'm weird that when I read a comic I like to have an actual comic :P

_{point me in the right direction oh master}

Pffft. Cheating is relative.

@Vandy

Lex Luthor everybody. Copying Tony Starks Suit, building a techno-skyscraper like the Fantastic Four/Tony Stark, being Lawfully Evil like Doctor Doom.

Is there any originality? Luthor is obviously just one big copycat.

@Sep You should get a subscription to Marvel Unlimited. It's about six months behind but for a small amount you're able to read as many comics as you want - even some you'd have trouble finding online.

@Morden Man

Tried subscribing to Marvel wouldn't accept Scottyland for some reason.

I know the feeling mate, I think it was just called 'Hulk'? Give it a look, 2014 release I think :)

@TimeMasterX

Problem being that old shit doesn't really exist on Amazon (2014, so old) and lack of money just makes me buy volumes.

Though right now I have Planet Hulk coming (I've seen the movie, read World War Hulk. Now for the main event) and X-Men Colossus - Gods Country coming.

I'm still getting through Jason Aaron's UNKNOWN FEMALE CHARACTER Thor run, spoilers thanks (joke, I knew), but I absolutely loved his run on Wolverine and then Wolverine and the X-Men, my absolute favourite take on the character. He also did one of my favourite takes on the Hulk with Banner as the villain and everything from the Hulk's perspective. I'm giving his Doctor Strange a go now.

@TimeMasterX

See. I'd ask what Hulk that is to purchase it, though I'm poor right now as my job is ending and I need to save up for my trip to America in the summer.

LOOK AT THAT MA! SELF RESTRAINT!

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

For my current arc planned with Hulk and where the main villain is at...

I know he's specifically a Hulk legacy but nobody has plans for Speedfreak do they?

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

Hey @Sep, does this work?

Random youtube video.

@Vandy

Searching for Justice League is cheating :P

Though I'll leave it to a vote.

Slott's work is... alright. His biggest problem is that he generates decent story hooks but rarely sticks the landing. Mostly, though, it's just gotten stale. He's been on Amazing long enough; it's time for a new voice and a new direction.

@Eddie Brock

Mhm, I find them fun but I don't stick to the pages like I do when reading Hulk I'll be honest. Gotta love Waids work.

In terms of characters being rehashed. Sometimes it makes sense, and I feel that it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I like that in the Comics for instance that Spider-man is out of goddman School. I'll accept the hate but due to the fact I only buy volumes for anything not Star Wars (Money saving, I only got into comics a couple of years ago and a local comic book store isn't a thing where I am) the only Spider-man stuff I have read is Slotts work xD

I don't know though, there's breathing new life into things then rehashing. I.E. Changing who the Hulk is in ANAD. I don't even want to know how that happened, and I hope nobody ever tells me. Hulk is one of those characters (to me) who is who he is, and I feel should be inseperable from Banner. It's not a mantle like Thor or Captain America that can be passed around. It's more or less an affliction, rather than giving him legacies or passing it on I'd like to see Banner age or see alternate stories similar to Indestructible Hulk or Doc Green (I think they coulda got more out of Doc Green tbh).

They also maybe need to be a little more original with their new characters as well, again I'm speaking largely from a Marvel point of view as all I have read from DC is The Flash. Take Silk for example, she's new! But she's a Spider-man rehash.

@Lord Wraith, that is a lovely hypothesis about the Death/Return of Superman, and I only wish it had been in the writers' minds when they conceived the story. If that story were to be rewritten today with that message at heart, I could grow to love it, but I can't love it in its current form as an obvious sales gimmick.

As for Jason, I'm cool with him coming back simply because Under the Red Hood is such a great story. Someone finally takes Batman to task for never doing what needs to be done, according to some, and putting Joker in the dirt. What I care less for is that they felt obligated to keep Jason around once that story had run its course, eventually neutering him so he could come back into the Bat-fold.

@Eddie Brock

Is that not what they're essentially doing in Marvel with Civil War:2? one of their big sales pitches it that someone will die!

It's like a budding romance that's happening in ANAD which is just a sales pitch that everyone saw coming.

Farm house outside Austin, Texas. 1847RS Local Time

"I told you to wait in barn."

"Yeah, Yeah. Thank me later."

Using the momentary distraction as the gun went flying into the other corner of the room Colossus grabbed the chain that was meant to bind his hands and pulled it to the side. Sending the man careering into his compatriots. All of them falling to the ground. "I wouldn't recommend standing up again. The big guy will just knock you back down." Colossus would have chuckled if the situation wasn't so serious. It was always an advantage having a telepath on the team. He had yet to face one in anything other than the danger room back at the mansion, he was dreading the day he met one in combat. That said all the members of the congregation, minus one, complied with Ruths request.

Colossus turned to flash a smile at her when she noticed a look of horror on her face.

BANG

Colossus froze, the bullet was not aimed for him. Though Ruth didn't fall. Colossus turned around the boy! He was no longer on the ground, where was-

The priest was standing in the doorway, having been trying to escape. He fell backwards onto the ground, a red hole in the middle of his forehead where the bullet struck it's target, as he fell Colossus could see the young mutant holding the gun. Frozen. "Вот дерьмо" Colossus began to walk towards him, a look of pure sympathy on his face. "My friend-" The boy just raised his gun at Colossus. Colossus raised his hands to show him that he wasn't meaning to do anything threatening. "-it will be okay. Come with us-" He indicated back to Ruth "-We'll take you somewhere safe. Somewhere you can be you."

The boys arm began to shake as Colossus reached him and put his hand on his shoulder. Raising his other hand to get the boy to give the gun over to him. "Come, tell me your name comrade. We are here to help you." The boy pulled the gun back to himself, understandable. It was a security precaution.

"My name-" This brought a smile to Colossus' face, he was getting through to him. Soon they would be able to put this unpleasant business behind them. Though the moment was short lived. "-doesn't matter to anyone."

"COLOSSUS, STOP-"

Before he could react, and before Ruth could finish her sentence. The boy raised the gun to below his chin and pulled the trigger. Colossus caught the boys body, lowering it gently to the ground. They did this to him... these Purifiers. They turned him against himself, made him feel as if he was an abomination. Unworthy. He heard a slight whimper in Ruths voice as she spoke. "So what, uh, what are we going to do with the others?"

Colossus stood tall, closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath. Letting the air fill his chest for a moment before letting it go. "Call authorities."

"But-" He flashed her a look she had never seen on his face before. He wasn't just angry, he was pissed.

"Call authorities. I'm sure they would want to know what has happened in this place." He grabbed the chain of the ground, wrapping it around one of the mens hands and going from one to another. "You should all remember one thing from this day." He stood on front of them after they were all tied up. "I was reluctant to resort to violence, I came here to help. Not hurt. You did not comply, and brought this upon yourselves. Not only that-" He pointed to the body of the boy. "-You turned a boy against himself. That is your greatest crime."

With that Colossus turned and walked to the door. However before walking out of the farmhouse he cast one last look back. "He has more humanity, than any of you ever will."
