Zuerst wurde Eulenspiegel Hofjunge bei einem Raubritter, an dessen Burg er vorüberkam.

I sighed. “Look, I’m not asking her to deactivate the tractor beam, rescue the princess, and escape to the fourth moon of Yavin.”

“Real technical prowess aims precisely to make us forget technique.”

In your ukulele video there seems to be a life-size Spidey statue in your living room. It looks awesome and I wonder where you got it cause I'd definitely would want something like that for my birthday

Not a statue, but a cardboard standee.

It’s a Todd McFarlane Spider-Man standee from the…late 80s? Early 90s? Probably late 80s. The comic shop I worked at had it tucked away in the back room and when they moved locations let me have it.

A quick google and ebay check was unable to find it online, which is unusual. I think one time Fabian Nicieza said he commissioned that art when he worked at Marvel. I wonder if it was ever used for anything other than the standee?  Hmmm.

[jordandwhiteqna]

HANG ON–I just checked my youtube…and you cannot see the standee in the videos! What you can see there is just a Spider-Man plush. I cannot even remember where I got it! Weird.

Here’s a pic from MST3K Turkey Day where you can see the Standee:

[theonlycoreyever]

I could be wrong, but I'm 99% sure that standee was sold at Suncoast or Games By James or Sam Goodie or some such store in the mall. I talked my friend into buying it in high school.

The reason for Norman killing Gwen looked retconned back to getting revenge on Spider-Man instead of trying to intentionally kill Gwen because of the whole "pregnant" thing.

Oh–sure, I’ll buy that.

But I think the kids are still out there, sadly. 

[theonlycoreyever]

Weren't the kids (and most of JMS's run) erased during One More Day? I thought I read an interview with JMS saying he had always planned to retcon them anyway and so that was a part of OMD he was ok with.

The new Vinnie Caurana album isn't at all what I was expecting after the completely acoustic City By The Sea, but I really dig it. It's still different enough from the other stuff he's doing that it makes sense as a solo album. #vinniecaruana #survivorsguilt #themovielife #iamtheavalanche #vinyl #vinylcollection #nowplaying #nowspinning #coloredvinyl

Still reading through the #brianmichaelbendis #avengers run, and I finally caught up to where I left off at the time. Pumped to start reading new (to me) stories! #comics #makeminemarvel #marvelcomics #johnromitajr

I feel like this album flew under most people's radar when it came out, which kind of a bummer. The members of the Get Up Kids were still putting out some great music even while they were broken up. #music #blackpoollights #thistownsdisaster #thegetupkids

Is Baron Zemo's alias pronounced Citizen Five or Citizen Vee?

Vee. As in Victory.

[theonlycoreyever]

I have always wondered this...

[theonlycoreyever]

Pretty excited to start reading this. One of my favorite writers writing in my favorite alternate universe in a spinoff series from one of my favorite recent x-title runs. #xmen #xforce #marvelcomics #makeminemarvel #davidlapham #ageofapocalypse #uncannyxforce #rickremender #comics #comicbookcollection #nowreading #wolverine #pheonix #jeangrey

I wasn't even interested in crime comics when Judd Winick put out Caper, but it was during that time when I would read anything he touched. It's a 12-issue maxi-series, but it's really three 4-issue mini series that each follow a different generation of the same family, each by Winick with a different collaborator. The second story is pretty good, I thought the third story was trying too hard to be funny and didn't fit with the rest of the series, but this first story with Farel Dalrymple is great. To my knowledge it's never been collected, but if you run into the first 4 issues of Caper, do yourself a favor and pick them up. #comics #dccomics #juddwinick #fareldalrymple #caper

True story: when I first heard Say Anything I hated them. I didn't like his voice at all. It wasn't until Sarah and I were making dinner one night and realized we both had "...Is A Real Boy" in it's entirety in stuck in our heads that we realized that it was one if the catchiest albums ever written. However many years, four albums, and a couple side projects later, they are still one of my favorite bands. Last night they put on yet another awesome show, and I picked up this bad boy. #sayanything #hebrews #isarealboy #firstave #vinyl

Marvel Comics Unlimited: Avengers Reading List

This is a trimmed down version of the Avengers Reading List I released for Brian Bendis’ run on Avengers. I realise a lot of people use Marvel Comics Unlimited to catch up on long runs as it’s a more affordable way to tackle them, so I’ve listed the actual issue numbers for each volume to make it easier to use.

It’s also a quick and dirty reference for anyone working their way through the list, as I’ve left out all the notes that explain how things fit together.  I’ll be doing a Comics Unlimited version of all the Marvel reading lists in due course.

Ed Brubaker's Captain America Reading List

This reading list only focuses on Ed Brubaker’s run, which defines the characters for this generation. This is a large undertaking as the story went on for years, over several volumes and various titles in 25 trade paperbacks and five omnibus.

It’s fairly straight forward until the end, where two books were coming out alongside each other. Even then it’s not too difficult as the books didn’t really impact each other so you can just read them in the order shown.

The only thing that complicates matters is that Captain America is one of those tent pole characters that gets dragged into every major event storyline and is often impacted by the fallout. The events are included in the order they should be read to fully appreciate what’s going on.

Here’s the key:

Bold text: Main Series Normal text: Supplemental CAPITALS: EVENTS/CROSSOVERS Italics: Notes

Pre-Reading

THE MARVEL’S PROJECT - Ed Brubaker & Steve Epting An 8-issue mini-series showing the origins of Captain America and other silver-age heroes. Can be read at any time but sits here for the sake of chronology.

Captain America: Man Out of Time - Mark Waid & Jorge Molina Another mini-series not unlike Waid’s Superman: Birthright. It shows Captain America’s freezing and subsequent defrosting in the modern day.

AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED - BRIAN BENDIS & DAVID FINCH

The Steve Rogers Era

Captain America: Winter Soldier V1 - Ed Brubaker & Steve Epting Captain America: Winter Soldier V2 - Ed Brubaker & Steve Epting The first two volumes of Brubakers run are available in a variety of formats including an Ultimate Collection, two trade paperbacks or an OHC..

SECRET WAR: BRIAN BENDIS & GABRIELLE DELL'OTTO Features Captain America and explains Nick Fury’s absence from the subsequent volumes.

New Avengers - Brian Bendis Bendis’ Avengers run begins in earnest at this point. For a full reading list of that run check out Bendis’ Avengers Reading List

Captain America: Red Menace V1 - Ed Brubaker & Mike Perkins Captain America: Red Menace V2 - Ed Brubaker & Steve Epting Available in an Ultimate Collection or separate paperbacks. The omnibus collecting the first five volumes is long out of print.

CIVIL WAR: MARK MILLAR & STEVE MCNIVEN Civil War: Captain America - Ed Brubaker & Mike Perkins The tie-in issues work really well as part of the Civil War story, which is strongly recommended as Captain America is the protagonist and it alters the landscape of the Marvel Universe significantly.

Fallen Son - Jeph Loeb & Various A series of one-shots focusing on different characters and how they deal with Steve Rogers death. Each issue represents one of the five stages of grief.

The Bucky Barnes Era

Captain America: Death of Captain America V1 - Brubaker & Epting Captain America: Death of Captain America V2 - Brubaker & Epting Captain America: Death of Captain America V3 - Brubaker & Epting Available in a Complete Collection, three paperbacks, or an OOP omnibus.

SECRET INVASION: BRIAN BENDIS AND LEINIL YU Features Captain America, Bucky Cap joins the New Avengers from this point.

Captain America: The Man With No Face - Ed Brubaker & Luke Ross Captain America: Road to Reborn - Ed Brubaker & Various Captain America: Reborn - Ed Brubaker & Bryan Hitch These volumes are available in the Captain America Lives! omnibus as well as the usual paperbacks.

SEIGE - BRIAN BENDIS & OLIVIER COIPEL Both Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes appear in this storyline.

Captain America: Two Americas - Ed Brubaker & Luke Ross Captain America: No Escape - Ed Brubaker & Butch Guice Captain America: Prisoner of War - Ed Brubaker & Butch Guice Captain America: Trial of Captain America - Ed Brubaker & Butch Guice

Steve Rogers: Super Soldier - Ed Brubaker & Dale Eaglesham This mini-series came out alongside the regular Captain America book and tells a Steve Rogers-centric story with a villain that will return later.

Secret Avengers: Mission to Mars - Ed Brubaker & Mike Deodato Secret Avengers: Eyes of the Dragon - Ed Brubaker & Mike Deodato Ed Brubaker did a short run on Secret Avengers which Steve Rogers featured in. It doesn’t connect to the Captain America story but is here if you want more.

FEAR ITSELF: MATT FRACTION & STUART IMMONEN This story is significant to Brubaker’s run as it takes the series goes in a new direction after the events of this book. 

The Two-Title Era

From this point on there are two different titles being published side-by-side, with Captain America & Bucky eventually being replaced by The Winter Soldier.

Captain America: Volume 1 - Ed Brubaker & Steve McNiven Captain America: Volume 2 - Ed Brubaker & Alan Davis The last seven volumes are collected in the Trial of Captain America omnibus.

Captain America: Volume 3 - Ed Brubaker & Patch Zircher Captain America: Volume 4 - Ed Brubaker & Scott Eaton This is the finale of the Captain America story for all intents and purposes. The majority of the volume is co-written, but the final chapter is a goodbye issue by Brubaker and Epting,

Captain America & Bucky: Life Story of Bucky… - Brubaker & Samnee Captain America & Bucky: Old Wounds - Brubaker & Francavilla These stories flash back to WWII, but are narrated in the modern day.

Winter Soldier: The Longest Winter - Ed Brubaker & Butch Guice Winter Soldier: Broken Arrow - Ed Brubaker & Michael Lark Winter Soldier: Black Widow Hunt - Ed Brubaker & Butch Guice The last seven volumes are collected in the Captain America: The Return of the Winter Soldier omnibus.

That is the entirety of Ed Brubaker’s run on the character. If you like Ed Brubaker you can also check out the Daredevil reading list, which highlights his work on the character and also includes Immortal Iron Fist. Thanks for reading.
