Well Spiderman 2099 definitely noticed that there was something up when he first arrived in the present, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved somehow.
There's quite a few possibilities really.

When I said "Horizon Labs" I meant the Big Brains, not the building.
Max was hellapissed off at "Spider-Man" when we last saw him.
If/when he learns about what is really going on...

I think I might be adding the new Spiderman to my pull list once its available,
Thanks to the UK Spider-man update comic I am following the superior story at the moment, but I'm not a big fan tbh. Seems just too idealistic like a man like Ock could redeem himself in anyway.
Although I suppose if Venom can...
...and as long as someone doesn't try to pull it with Carnage sanity can be maintained.

Well I think it was a side effect of him stealing Peter Parker's body. The circumstances around him turning over a new leaf aren't exactly normal.

He re-lived Parkers life/choices in a few moments... but it just felt a little forced to me. Of course on saying that some of the revelations have been fun, but often they have still been Ock realising Parker was more than he gave credit for.
In general its just been a very odd little side show which everyone pretty much knew from day one was going to last as long as the next Spidey film.

Well ya, of course. I passed it by for that reason but it definately went on a lot longer that I thought it would. I've only read the first tpb but it was actually kind of funny especially when Doc asks why the hell would anyone just randomly swing around the city hoping to catch muggers in dark alleys. What a waste of time: I'm going to use robots! He really is a Superior Spider-Man.

Yeah those have been the funny moments, the cold logical outlook. Especially when you had Peter looking over the shoulder spiritually, trying to argue and then thinking.. wait actually that's a good idea.

So apparently there's an image circulating of what might be Ben Affleck's Batman suit.
What do you guys think? Personally I like it. It's a nice mix of the "Arkham" and New 52 designs.

The fact that it actually has written "No Nipples" on it twice makes me think it's a fake. Personally, I don't like it. The legs looks interesting, because you can clearly see what part is armor but I hate the mask. I hate every Batman movie mask to be honest. I don't want to see how he put on eyeliner. This is 2014, can't we have a mask with white pupils that move with his face like in the cartoons?

I'm dubious about that being more than a proposal or self interest piece.

Seems Mr Abnett and Mr Lanning are getting to write a little bit more GOTG stuff ... also seems they're no longer writing/working together.. which is a little odd ?

Guardians Of The Galaxy is on a really slow release schedule at the moment because the main artist is ill, which upsets me both because GOTG was really really enjoyable, and also because she's a ridiculously good artist. :(

I thought it might be a fake as well but the style of paper/layout of the paper the drawing is on matches what Greg Capullo posts on his Twitter feed whenever he is showing off works in progress.

So, um, this might be wrong...and very late to the game...but I didn't hate Punisher: War Zone. It's just finishing up, I'm sick and needed something to watch and forgot I bought it for about $3 a while back. Popped it in, and it's quite nicely done, in regards to the Punisher comics. It's a million times better than I expected (I had very, VERY low expectations). I don't think it's as good as the Tom Jane version, which had heart, but it's truer to the comics. Also a pretty good gore-fest. Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park was also the ONLY guy who could have played his weapons-sidekick. When I can find Ghost Rider 2 for $3, I'll give that a shot too. My expectations are even lower for that one.

I know I read weird stuff that no one else wants to comment on,
but I finished reading Astro City 8 recently, and the Confessor
vs. Samaritan fight was very spot-on as an analog for a Batman
Superman duel. Two or so pages. Memorable battle.
I wish Busiek was more prolific.

It's not that we don't want to comment....we just can't....cause it's weird stuff no one's read. That being said I have heard of Astro City. Wizard magazine would always talk about how good it was back in the day.

Wow, DC continues to swing that crazy axe. Nightwing is obviously building to something else, but Suicide Squad is a real shame.
As a positive, it seems cancelling JLoA at the end of December wasn't so bad an idea after all.

In other news.. wait what. Na'h, let me read that again.. n'ah someone is trolling, there's no way they'd release that surely.

Got the first trade and read the first ... 12 + issues then it stopped, never knew it came back.

So while everyone is braving the snow for the New York premier of Justice League: War tonight, there’s another war going on.
The release of Justice League Adventures: Trapped In Time, a brand new animated feature on DVD and exclusive to Target. For now. Voice From Krypton reported,
Called a “stealth release,” it arrives in Target on January 21st. It’ plot is described as follows: “Get ready for a battle of the ages when the Justice League faces off against its archenemies, the Legion of Doom, in an all-new movie from DC Comics. A mysterious being known as the Time Trapper arises, and a sinister plan led by Lex Luthor sends the Legion of Doom back in time to eliminate Superman before he becomes a hero and inspires others to do the same. For [members of the Justice League], along with teen super heroes Karate Kid and Dawnstar, the stakes have never been higher, the rescue mission never deadlier. So join the fight for the future as the Justice League confronts its ultimate challenge… the threat of having never existed!”
Time to get to Target…
If anyone gets this let us know if its any good !
