A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Together for the first time

Wait, they used to have separate comics?

IIRC Reed, or an un-named scientist who looked exactly like Reed, first appeared in one of Marvel's monster comics. Might have just been Kirby design aesthetic at work.

No. Don't over analyse. Otherwise you'd have to explain how Mr. Fantastic got tied up in the first place...

Or how being invisible can help in this situation

If I recall correctly, it took the creators about three issues to realize that just being invisible wasn't much of a melee power, and they upgraded her to having an invisible force field.

It's the first issue, so first time period, together or separate.
