wait, black bolt died? holy shit. thats what i get for dropping off the inhumans after Secret Invasion.

ps you're a monster for that Adam X bit.

newt was telling me this, about Magus and how Surfer was powered up again, Nova as well. still, i gotta see pics of those lovecraftian dopplegangers.

The new & improved Quasar.

A fucked up universe beyond the breach.

Doppelganger Avengers in normal mode.

Thor crab-face mode

Ex-Men

I knew Thanos wouldn't be dead long the way KratosDrax just sort of casually killed him.

 

 

So half the Guardians of the Galaxy are dead? What's the current roster? Is Rocket Raccoon still alive?

Current roster:

Deceased:

Not a prob. I'm stoked Cosmic Marvel was always one of my favorite sections of the Marvel universe.

Shit like M-Day, Civil War, etc. always seemed like peanuts compared to the grand spectrum of things.

So for current Cosmic Marvel events: Realm of Kings

EDIT: Added some more info I just remembered. :P

He returns!

Guardians of the Galaxy 25

Both actually. After Mar-Vell died his lover on Titan (I forget her name) used some of his DNA and combined it with hers, but in order to make sure he would be prepared against Mar-Vell's enemies he was aged to about 18 (so from baby to teenager in about a day/week) with his brain uploaded with the necessary knowledge. Result: Genis-Vell.

He was later (by accident) merged with Jones the same way as Mar-Vell. Later on though instead of going to the Negative Zone he would go to the Micro-verse.

Genis-Vell (Photon/Captain Marvel/Legacy) was one of my favorite supes back in the day. His original 35 issue run as Captain Marvel was a fun cosmic joyride. Thanos, The Magus, Blastarr & Burstarr, Ronan the Accuser, Psycho Man, etc. Then came his reboot vol. 2 series (25 issue) and everything went to hell.

They tried to turn him into an asshole, but ended up being an anti-hero with his whole Crazy like a Fox story arc that went on WAY to long. They basically did everything they could conceivably do to make him unlikeable and periodically a nugget of good/dark writing would slip through and people liked him again even though he was a douche. Finally they created Phyla-Vell big galactic bruha ensues and Genis goes back to normal (though greatly powered up).

Then they did Odyssey his last story arc which was hit or miss depending whether or not you even care at this point. (I liked it to an extent personally) Then ZANG! cop'out ending complete and utter waste. Then he pops up in New Thunderbolts and gets "killed" by Atlas (which is hard to believe no matter how you slice it) and then he resurrects, joins the TBs and starts calling himself Photon. Zemo comes back with the moonstones and in Thunderbolts 100 along with Smuggler in what could only be the most anti-climactic battles, Genis is killed, cut into pieces and scattered across the Dark Dimension (so he can't reform you see ) and so ends Genis-Vell. What a waste.

Highlight of his time with the Thunderbolts was when they fought the New Avengers and Genis pwns Sentry. SO satisfying.

EDIT: Added a pic of Genis.

Trouble with Dreams by The Eels

There's nothing that i wanna do

More than get alone and be with you

Trouble with dreams is they don't come true

And when they do they can't catch up to you

You don't need a thing from me

But i need something big from you

'cause you know i've got

An awful lot of big dreams

I'm walking down a lonely road

Clear to me now but i was never told

Trouble with dreams is you never know

When to hold on and when to let go

If you let me down it's alright

At least that leaves something for me

'cause you know i've got

An awful lot of big dreams

This is the life that i must lead now

Crossing fingers and wiping brow

Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend

Something with no beginning has an end

You don't need a thing from me

But i need something big from you

'cause you know i've got an awful lot of big dreams

Watchmen 2: The Crappening

 

Oh yeah, it's coming.

To Tame A Land by Iron Maiden (a tribute to Dune)

He is the king of all the land

In the Kingdom of the sands

Of a time tomorrow.

He rules the sandworms and the Fremen

In a land amongst the stars

Of an age tomorrow.

He is destined to be a King

He rules over everything

On the land called planet Dune.

Bodywater is your life

And without it you would die

On the desert the planet Dune.

Without a stillsuit you would fry

On the sands so hot and dry

In a world called Arrakis.

It is a land that's rich in spice

The sandriders and the "mice"

That they call the "Muad'Dib".

He is the Kwizatz Haderach.

He is born of Caladan

And will take the Gom Jabbar.

He has the power to foresee

Or to look into the past

He is the ruler of the stars

The time will come for him

to lay claim his crown,

And then the foe yes

they'll be cut down,

You'll see he'll be the

best that there's been,

Messiah supreme

true leader of men,

And when the time

for judgment's at hand

Don't fret he's strong

and he'll make a stand,

Against evil and fire

That spreads through the land,

He has the power

to make it all end.

Well it got me into them so quite the contrary. As NZA stated though, Demon days is just one of those albums you plug in and just let it run. So much veraiety and good rythem with a epic two part finish with Don't Get Lost in Heaven & Demon Days.

Sorry for the double post but

Demon Days is indeed one of the better albums. If you're new to Gorillaz folks, that's the place to start then I'd recommend G-Sides, D-Sides (for Happy Landfill and Rock it).

Happy Landfill was top of my playlists for years (still in them just not at the top) and at the time is was fun to flaunt that it was only available via download from goriilaz.com when you bought the collectors edition of Demon Days. Rock It was also an exclusive on the sites theater page. (just a lowly flash vid) Now both are available for the masses.

Every Planet We Reach is Dead, that was the one I couldn't remember! Well here's another fav...

EDIT: The official site also had some hilarious shorts.

Game of Death

Jump The Gut

These videos get on here purely for the Murdoc.

I just searched, and there's no Gorillaz thread here, somehow. Genroh....i think you're the only man on at this deviant hour that can do this. id be all up ons.

So it is written, so it shall be done.

I for one love'em for their blend of punk, rap, R&B, and Funk. I'm sure some hate them just for the fact they're animated and there for fake.

Then again... that can be said about almost any band now adays

So here be the Gorillaz forum! Discuss, share, or just listen.

Here are some of my personal favorites.

Tomarrow Comes Today

Rock It (Reject False Icons)

El Manana

^Nice! Love me some Gorillaz.

Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughn

Well it's floodin' down in Texas....All of the telephone lines are down

Well it's floodin' down in Texas....All of the telephone lines are down

And I've been tryin' to call my baby....Lord and I can't get a single sound

Well dark clouds are rollin' in....Man I'm standin' out in the rain

Well dark clouds are rollin' in....Man I'm standin' out in the rain

Janis Joplin sings the

Ah, I'm a mean, mean woman

And I don't mean no one man, no good, no.

I'm a mean, mean woman,

I don't mean no one man, no good.

I just treats 'em like I wants to

I never treats 'em, honey like I should.

Oh, Lord, I once had a daddy,

He said he'd give me everything in sight.

Once had a daddy,

Said he'd give me everything in sight.

Yes, he did

So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine,

You take the stars out of the night.

Come on and give 'em to me, babe, 'cause I want 'em right now."

I ain't the kind of woman

Who'd make your life a bed of ease, ha ha ha ha!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm not the kind of woman, no,

To make your life a bed of ease.

Yeah, but if you, if you just wanna go out drinkin', honey,

Won't you invite me along please.

Oh, I'll be so good to ya babe, yeah!

Whoa, go on!

I guess I'm just like a turtle

That's hidin' underneath it's horny shell.

Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle

Hidin' underneath it's horny shell.

But you know I'm very well protected -

I know this goddamn life too well.

Oh! Now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,

I've been called much of some things around,

Honey, don't ya know I have!

Whoa, call me mean or call me evil

I've been called much of some things, all things around,

Yeah, but I'm gonna take good care of Janis, yeah,

Honey, ain't no one gonna dog me down.

Alright, yeah.

Wagner made a new Hunter Rose story called "Behold the Devil" in '08. Very good and well worth the read. He's also mentioned working on a new Grendel Prime story.

As for recommended reading:

Hunter Rose

Devil by the Deed (a collection of all of the Grendel shorts from Wagners Mage! comic and gives a sum up of the Hunter Rose story)

Black, White & Red (Collection of stories and redone chapters by various artists)

Red, White & Black (sequel to the above featuring Hunter's epic death scene)

Batman vs. Grendel (Hunter challenges Bruce to a battle of wits and skill with lives on the line and a rising body count)

Devil Child (the aftermath of Hunter's poor ward: Stacy Palumbo)

Behold the Devil (new)

Christine Spar

Devil's Legacy (excellent read)

Brian Li Sung

The Devil Inside (the art isn't anything to write home about though I for one like it, but the writing is tops)

Eppy Thatcher

God and the Devil (arguably the coolest Grendel story since Devil's Legacy and my personal favorite incarnation of Grendel)

Orion I

Devil's Regin (direct sequel to GatD. 2 stories going on here. One is a biography style of Orion's rise to power as the first Grendel Kahn and the other about Pellon Cross and the expansion of the vampires and their war with humanity)

^this one is slow compared to the rest but essential as it sets the stage for...

Grendel Prime

War Child (Part 3 in a sense. The Paladin known as Grendel Prime protects Orion's son and battles through the apocalyptic world created by Grendel)

Past Prime (a novel (not graphic novel) focusing on Susan Veraghen from War Child and her life and events with Prime)

Devil's Quest (set 104 years after War Child & Past Prime and explains Prime's time travel in the second Batman Grendel cross over and offers more glimpses into the future that Grendel has created)

Batman Grendel 2 (Hunter was a challenge, but Prime is death incarnate and the Bat is in the way of his "quest")

Grendel Tales

Various stories about other would be carriers of the mantle of Grendel.

Four Devils, One Hell

Devil May Care

Devils and Deaths

Homecoming

In The Black by Motörhead

Listen honey,

Let me see you smile,

Don't be look at me funny,

You got a better style,

See me coming,

Don't look the other way,

Don't start running,

You stole my heart away,

Don't give me that run around,

You know I treat you fine,

You don't understand the way I feel,

You got my heart rolling like a wheel,

I'm In The Black, I'm In The Black, I'm In The Black again,

Can't go back, can't go back, can't be who I was back then,

It's only me, it's only me, it's only me outside your door,

Let me be, let me be, I'm the one your waiting for,

Here me talking,

You hear what I say,

I see you walking,

Every time it makes my day,

I got a notion,

I might stay a while,

If you fall in the ocean,

I'll swim a hundred miles,

Coming over to ask you out,

Ah honey please say yes,

I don't like it when you stomp and pout,

I dont' like it when you run your mouth,

I'm In The Black, I'm In The Black, I'm In The Black again,

Can't go back, can't go back, can't be who I was back then,

It's only me, it's only me, it's only me outside your door,

Let me be, let me be, I'm the one your waiting for,

Your a vision,

Make me shout out loud,

I made my decision,

Goodbye to the old ground,

Send you a message,

I've gotta chance my arm,

Scramble through the wreckage,

To keep you safe from harm,

I'm going to be right around your house,

I hope you're good to go,

If you're not it's going to hit me hard,

I'm going to fold up like a house of cards,

I'm In The Black, I'm In The Black, I'm In The Black again,

Can't go back, can't go back, can't be who I was back then,

It's only me, it's only me, it's only me outside your door,

Let me be, let me be, I'm the one your waiting for

The War is Over by Trust Company

The hours devour me

My life's wasted waiting here for you

There's nothing left of me

Lost in a void I don't see

There's nothing left to believe

The end is now

I surrender

The war is over

The rain is falling

And all that's left has blown away

Your eyes are haunted

By what you wanted

I surrender (I surrender)

The war is over

The anger I keep for you

The bitter lessons I will keep for me

There's nothing I can do

To save you from your own hell

There's nothing left for you

The end is now

I surrender

The war is over

The rain is falling

And all that's left has blown away

Your eyes are haunted

By what you wanted

I surrender (I surrender)

The war is over (It's over now)

I can see it, I can see what you've become

I can feel it, as everything goes numb

The war is over

The rain is falling

And all that's left has blown away

Your eyes are haunted

By what you wanted

I surrender (I surrender)

The war is over
