She's reading 'Legion' as in 'Legion of Superheros' which, I dunno :/ ...I'm having her read all my old graphic Novels - Batman/Superman, Red Son, Kingdom Come. Teen Titans was pretty good for a while but I mean, this is all stuff I was collecting between 2003 and 2005 I have no idea what's going on in DC that isn't terrible these days. I mean... why is Bruce Wayne dead again? or not dead? Quote:

in all honesty, as near as I can figure, Brucey is (dead?) so they'd have a kick-ass and horrifying black lantern Batman. Which was actually a batman clone but it managed to screw with the audience to see "Oh man batman is a BAD GUY wait this happened before didn't it oh look clone."

Seriously though read Annihilation - read Nova - read Annihilation Conquest - read Guardians of the Galaxy - read War of Kings - read Thanos Imperative, then say "thank you Fifth for pointing me towards the best, most ballinest Space Epical megastory in all of comics probably ever"; read Planet Hulk, read World War Hulk so that you can read Incredible Hercules, read Prince of Power, read the Immortal Iron Fist series, read Thor, read Fantastic Four since Jonathan Kirkman started writing it, read Captain Britain and the MI:13, read S.W.O.R.D., read ugh goddamn I forget what other good as fuck Marvel comics you should be reading because there are so goddamn many of them.

I'm surprised. Civil War had me thinking that marvel was on their deathbed, creativly. Civil War was good but megaevents are always followed by not so good comics for a while. But apparently Spider-Man is taking care of that currently.

Annihilation was like, while Marvel was busy shitting out Civil War someone snuck behind Joe Quesada's back and put out the awesomest fucking event comic in event comics history, the standard by which all event comics should be judged from now until the end of time, which itself went on to spawn a long-ass line of awesome comics.
CW itself was shit but a lot of the things that happened around the periphery of it or came out of it which were pretty ace whereas at DC you had Infinite Crisis which was shit and then every single thing after it for the last six years which has also all been shit. Like you had Civil War but then you had everyone in the Marvel Universe get to punch Tony Stark in the face and call him an asshole and then eventually Norman Osborne took over Shield and basically became King Clownface McAsshole and everyone in the Marvel Universe got to take a turn basically punching him in the nuts and then taking a shit on his face and from there on Marvel on balance manages to be more or less good again and oh god I am just nerdsperging soooo hard right now, god damn.

I was interested in them train-wrecking all the nicey-nice relationships between Captain America, Iron Man, and Spider-Man even though I didn't like that they were ruining the 'Avengers' just as I was becoming really interested in 'Spider-Man: He is on a team'
Maybe that was just out of sheer morbidity though. The Civil War main series itself was about the Young Justice Avengers or some other such morons blowing up a school and some other stuff I didn't really care about.

I am convinced, and nobody can ever sway me from this, that Civil War was an excuse to kill the marriage. That was the only thing CW was used for.

HEY-O! But um, if you're talking Spider-Man that mess happened post-Civil War for pretty unrelated reasons they retroactivly tied in. That's the impression I got anyway.
