I owned Blue as a kid because everyone I knew had Red. I've always preferred cool colors to warm, and would've probably picked Blue anyways, but even when I was 7 or whatever I wanted to be anti as ***.

i bought red first, so definitely red

i don't think there's a big enough difference to make the decision anything more than a coin-flip. aside from slightly different collection of pokemon, they're essentially the same, right?

The pokemon sucked in blue which is really all that matters but man that blastoise looked so tight on the cartridge front and blue totally went with my fat gray gameboy that took four AA batteries to last for 3 hours

I remember spending $25 on Red Version and my mom was mad that I wasted all my money on a "stupid game". But yeah, Red was my main version that I caught them all with, I got a Blue version just to restart a bunch of times to get all the other pokemon.

I haven't even started reading second coming and one of the workers at the comic book store told me someone was going to die in the new X Men comic! I hope that guy doesn't die =[


World War Hulks looks stupid.

Siege was disappointing imo

Dark Avengers *****.

New Avengers ***** because Spider Man & Wolverine is in it.

Plan 9 what else do you read for Marvel and DC?

I see well if you read what happen after Siege, you'll learn there's like 4 or 5 different Avengers:
The "Main" with Captain America (Bucky), Thor & Iron Man. <---Reunited recently
The "New" which has Luke Cage, Spider Man & Wolverine. <--I been following this one for awhile now.
The "Mighty" which I have no idea who's in it... <--- I never like this one.
The "Black Op aka Secret" Avengers has Captain American (Steve Roger), Nova, Black Widow, War Machine. <--This one ***** but I haven't read it yet.
There's the Young Avengers (Young Version of the Main Avengers) and Avengers: The Initiative *Now known as Avengers Academy.* (The trained superheroes)


After Bruce's death, there's so many good things about it. Like there are a few dull/dumb parts to it because of the new Batman is not like Bruce and such.


DC seems to have better books
I agree with you, I love their stories and such but sometimes they redo everything which makes it confusing sometimes for example: Read Batman RIP then read Final Crisis, you'll be like wtf?! (I'm trying not to spoil anything atm because PsychoMidget read some comics from me and I don't wanna spoil alot for him.)

Like 60% of Marvel's stories are like they come at you full force and stay pretty strong but when it comes to the middle or the end, I feel like they fall apart on certain stuff and it doesn't sense.

But then again this like 90% of the comics out there are like that.

yea I know


also I was thinking of the secret avengers, too many ****ing avengers

secrets the only good one imo


also the thunderbolts is pretty interesting as is the secret six



DC seems to have better books from my limited exposure. If you count Vertigo books as DC then it's no contest.

i have an interesting question

would you rather have $200k cash or $1 million that you must place on a red/black bet on a roulette table (or bet on a coinflip or whatever)

definitely the cash

I would be more inclined to take the one million if the gamble were replaced with a test of skill or something that I would forever regret if I had not tried.

I'm gonna say bet, assuming I'm doing something with 50/50 odds (IE, not red/black on roulette). It's easier to take the bet while it's a hypothetical though, and if I was put in this situation for real I would probably call my dad and ask him what to do. (He's my go to source for gambling).
