Robert Kirkman's DESTROYER!!!

[thunderbolt]

Just picked up the hardback collection, easily one of my current favorites. Anyone else read it?

[StrangeVisitor]

Read it, liked it. Kirkman didn't spare the gore - which rivaled his B&W series The Walking Dead - but I guess, how could he when the guy is called Destroyer? Got a bit of a chuckle how the gory action scenes contrasted with the domestic life/ facing his own mortality parts. Was his son-in-law's costumed identity (Turret) in the Golden Age comics?

wow .. and people say Marvel Zombies is Hardcore.

wondering if he had a sidekick, have found nothing about it yet. Kirkman said he wrote it as if the book was still being published from the golden age, so some ofthe characters and backstory may be for this book.

loved the look I did a custom when this was just a internet story.

The more Kirkman I see/read, the more convinced I am the the dude just really needs a hug.

He's actually not always that Grim 'N Gritty, but those seem to be his most popular books.

Check out Cloudfall then.

Kirkman's twist on the Alien Invasion genre.

I almost got that, but the anime looking art lost me.

So no to Tech Jacket as well then?


How about Battle Pope?

[thunderbolt]

Battle Pope is ok in small doses, it kind of wears thin as a concept after too long. And no to tech jacket. Just say no to anime influenced art, kids.

here I was hoping for a Thread about the old Atlas comic character - man am I old

Nary a Big Eye or speedline to be found in this title!


I liked his run on Cap that snuck in just before the Knight relaunch.


Wasn't too hot on his Ultimate X-Men.

If it's the character created by Stan Lee, that is what kicked off the thread... Robert Kirkman revived him in a new miniseries.

Just read Imagine United #2, and I'm officially "out" of that one. The art isn't meshing as well and looks more rushed than the first issue. Plus I think you really need to be a huge Image Comic fan to appreciate the "Where's Waldo" approach to this miniseries (which Kirkman obviously is). Not really my cup of tea.
