apo/post-apo comics
Comics anyone? Paper ones and NOT some half-assed x-men shite. Harsher comics from the era before the internet (browser based)? Marshal Law for example. Lists go on and on and would like to hear what other DAC-frquents read/read even today. Mainly apo/post-apo thou.

Its not even out yet, but Stephen King's The Dark Tower series is being put down in comics by marvel apparently... Under King's direction
Its a mix of a wild west gunslinger/post apocalyptic mad max/knight hero ...
For those who've read the books.. its not goin to be based on them, but set before the first book's beginning.
In 3 months I think the first issues coming out

go to www.thedarktower.net
its the 2nd news item there at the moment...
He says that it'll be set before the first book...
I'll quote...
The series will expand the saga of King’s epic hero, Roland Deschain, whose quest to save the Dark Tower is captured in seven best-selling novels published over the course of twenty-five years. King’s unparalleled storytelling power will inform new stories that delve into the life and times of the young Roland, revealing the trials and conflicts that lead to the burden of destiny he must assume as a man, the last Gunslinger from a world that has moved on. The comics will work in conjunction with the novels, further supplementing and defining the saga’s mythology under the direction of the acclaimed author himself.
EDIT - also for it from the marvel people themselves... http://www.marvel.com/king - also has pretty pictures there .. (ohh those pictures fill me with joy)

I got one when my father was a kid. I remember readint it a few years ago, was pretty cool. Maybe I can scan it, but it's in french... So... I'd doubt this'd be good for you... But the drawings were cool...
I'd want those post-apocalyptic X-Men comics where Wolverine fights Cyclops.
Age of Apocalypse
Wolverine was never actually called “Wolverine� in the Age of Apocalypse timeline. Instead, he retained his code name, Weapon X. In this reality he never had his adamantium ripped out and it was Magneto that helped him to control his feral rages. Weapon X was a loner and, initially, an unwilling recruit to the X-Men. He reconsidered after meeting the team’s telepath, Jean Grey. The two had an instant connection and eventually became lovers. Logan trained Magneto’s newer recruits, including Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat. Unbeknown to the rest of the X-Men, Magneto had asked Weapon X to train the girl as an assassin. Weapon X taught Shadowcat everything he knew and even crafted a pair of claws, similar to his own, for her with Magneto’s help. One of the main differences between Weapon X and the Earth 616 Wolverine is that Weapon X’s left hand is missing. The hand was blasted off by the Prelate Scott Summers (a villain in this universe) when Weapon X tried to rescue Jean from Mr. Sinister. He succeeds and gouged one of the Summers' eyes out in return. He also has a number of facial tattoos. Not willing to return to the X-Men, Logan and Jean worked on their own. After months of guerrilla warfare, they were contacted by Sinister who revealed Apocalypse’s plan to attack the humans in Europe. Logan and Jean delivered this information to the Human High Council and learned of the Council’s plan to launch nuclear missiles on America to stop Apocalypse. In the end, Jean was killed by the Prelate Alex Summers, but Logan avenged her.
Interestingly, his relationships with many of his old enemies were changed. Sabretooth is no longer his nemesis, but instead an ally, although the two still shared similar powers.

I doubt this is a apo/PA comic. Just some marvel masturbation?Geno wrote:
