Hey, this is just a little thing to get some conversation going, and to see what everybody's interested in. Obviously, everyone here loves Alpha, but what's some other comics/comic characters you guys are interested in? Besides Alpha, I also really like the Fantastic Four(the Thing is my favorite member), Hulk, Wolverine(usually just in his solo book), some X-Men(love the Beast), Black Panther, and Ghost Rider.

My comicbook collection is dominated by Marvel comics, amongst which my collection of Uncanny X-Men is easily the largest, with X-Men coming in a close second.

While I think that I have the first hundred X-Men, my interest really didn't survive the two-team split thing. My favourite X-stories are easily to be found within the confines marked out by the beginining of the all-new team (Storm, Colossus, Wolvie, etc.) til just after the Mutant Massacre ... which itself ended up going in a direction that I didn't like. Some good stories followed, like the return of the Brood, but with hindesight I'd say it really began to peter out for me from there on.

The FF are of course classic with their battles and dealings with the Hulk, Silver Surfer, Galactus, Dr. Doom, Terrax and Gladiator being legendary, must-reads. In all of Marvel comics the levitating of the entire island of Manhattan (Terrax) or the lifting of an entire highrise building (Gladiator) could only happen in FF.

I have a few more Avengers comics than most others, with most of them coming from Wasp's stint as leader. The Masters of Evil arc, where Jarvis gets tortured before the eyes of Cap and Black Knight, and Herc. gets bashed into a coma, sucked me right in, whilst Zeus venegeance on the Avengers (for the fate of Herc.) really helped keep my interest for a time.

Outsdie of Marvel I liked Image comics "WildCATs", at least until the returned to their homeworld, after which it all began to suck. And only continue to suck more and more the longer I held on.

Naturally, as a WildCATs fan, the Grifter spin-offs were something that held my interest for a time.

One comic I still have my eyes open for, and an ever growing collection of, are CHAOS comics Evil Ernie ... about an abused mutant teenager, who had telepathy, turned homicidal uber-zombie out to riaise a zombie army and kill everyone in the world so that he might be with his only true love, Lady Death, who has appeared to him in dreams a few times.

I liked Rogue in the 80's and early 90's, then her character turned into everywoman and lost her appeal, but Rogue is still a good character to me.

Shinobi Shaw I always liked.

The Flash, Wally West, is the best character who is action-oriented but funny. I also keep an eye on the X-Men and Hulk but I don't read them.

My kids like Transformers and Teen Titans. I guess outside of the basic X-books (that includes EXiles), Teen Titans and Alpha Flight, I most like individual character books. That being said, Alpha Flight has always been my favorite, #2 changes always. X-Men, Hulk, EXiles, Teen Titans, Flash, then back to Teen Titans...

Yeah, forgot to mention I started the new Thing series, too...good stuff so far. And I have also read alot of the Hellboy stuff from Dark Horse..great horror stuff there, though I'm mostly a Marvel fan, through and through.

I don't really read comics on a regular basis. When I do it's mostly TPB's.
I've been reading alot of Batman lately as well as Rising Stars by Stracynsky.

I've always been a mark for anything with Ben Grimm in it so I'll be reading that new series as well.

I like Wolverine, Storm, the Legion of Super-Heroes (old favorites of mine), the Wanderers (a Legion spin-off -- we've discussed them here before), and Kamandi (a marvelous Jack Kirby character).

Has anyone here heard of Kamandi? DC Archive Editions just published Volume 1 of his earliest adventures, (issues 1 - 10). Worth checking out.

Also, I read an interesting and unusual comic a few months ago: "Metadocs -- the Super ER". It's from Antarctic Press, and we got it through a distributor. There was supposed to be a second issue, but it doesn't seem to have been published yet. And when I asked about it at the two comics stores in my town, no one had ever heard of it! :roll: Strange.

I like The Imaginaries. Unusual, fun, and good art (though I wished the originally artists could've finished issue # 4).

Blood of the Demon. Solid stories with cliffhanger endings ala old Strange Tales Dr. Strange stories, where one story leads into the next.

Picked up Black Panther to check out the Luke Cage storyline. I like it so far.

Wolverine "Enemy of the State/Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Tight. Over-the-top
(keeping secret all the killing Logan does at the end ), at times, but tight.

Weapon X: Day of Future Whatever. Nice sci-fi time-travel loop ending. Didn't really like this mini-series. Wolverine: ineffective. Heroes: killed easily. Bad-guys: win big.

Well, I really like the Brood. The Brood Mutants (Earthfall) and Brood: Day of Wrath storylines are especially good, though I really didn't like the X-4 series, even with the Brood. I just love giant insects...

I like the Reavers, THE ORIGINAL CYBORG REAVERS, not Pierce's newest group of Anti-Mutant human kids. :P

The Reavers:
Donald Pierce ( The White Bishop)
Pretty Boy (I really like his "bare bones" design, it's creepy but cool...He's my fav Reaver) 8)
Bonebreaker
Skullbuster (All of them)
Wade Cole
Angelo Macon
Murray Reese
Cylla Markham (Skullbuster II)
Lady Deathstrike

And their AOA counterparts,
The Altered Humans:
Donald Pierce (He's a LOT creepier in the AOA)
Slocum
Clegg
Dead-Eye
Mangle
Vultura
and briefly
Carol Danvers

Other assorted characters include the Sugar Man, Cannonball (I have to support my fellow Southerners! :wink: ), Namor, Rictor, Adam X The X-Treme, Deathbird. I really liked Skin from Generation X, but they killed him off... :evil:

I mostly like little known characters, Like Rex: Rex AOA was Apocalypse' personal servant, and Rex Earth 616 was Sugar Man's servant), Barbarus, Forearm, Batwing (Jimmy), Morlocks like Bliss, Tar Baby, Berzerker, Scaleface. also Noh-Var (Marvel Boy #?), Bobo (Namor's cousin), Neophyte (Of the Acolytes), Fang (Of the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard),The Skrulls, the Badoon... Lots of characters. I also like Shinobi Shaw! :o

I also like the Elders of the Universe, specifically:
Runner
Champion
Gardener
Possessor

I hate:
Valerie Cooper
Sabretooth
Selene, Black Queen of the Hellfire Club
And lots of others...

Before I stopped collecting about a year back, I was getting Uncanny X, The Authority, JMS's Squadron Supreme books and a couple of indie titles. In my time I have collected numerous books, but only two are read frequently, Alpha of course and New Warriors.

I didn't read the latest New Warriors and am of the opinion that NW and AF have had pretty parallel histories. An initial gem of a run and then reasonable stories, but eventual cancellation and two attempts to re-launch with a steady decline in the things that made the teams good in the first place. Plus, both have had a third series, that serious fans have welcomed less than a chicken with a cough.

So with all that said, at present I am collecting nothing, but am going to start collecting again and have targeted the upcoming Marvel big events to throw myself back into the melee. The Annihilation stories interest me and Nova looks the business on that front cover. Of course New Avengers is going to get a perusal plus 'Wolverine, Origins'. Not a fan of Thor, I am gonna steer clear of the Ultimate Universe, don't want anything to do with 'Planet Hulk' and only look at what the X is up to if there's an Alpha connection. So I can see myself picking up three to four series and quite a few Essentials volumes and I might take a look at what Kirkman is doing with Speedball and the rest of 'The Legion of Losers' or whatever they are called.

[Edited] How could I forget about 'Civil War', interested to see what spins out of that.

When I first started getting into comics I was a young'un and was attracted to the X-verse.
DC's stuff either seemed too dark to me at that age, or I didn't see the point in indestructible heroes that never lost, so I still to this day have never really been a big DC-verse follower.

I followed the X-verse solidly for about 10 years and am only really now down to just Wolverine, Exiles & Ult. X. The rest of the X-titles just seem really dull to me.

About 7 years back, probably through the original AWaves list and the 'net in general branched off into more indie stuff and broadened my horizons a lot, my reading taste, and film taste as well for that matter, having taken a deeper and darker turn and looked for books with artwork to match.
I buy a lot of stuff for the art these days too come to think of it.

About 5 years back I went through a serious Image phase buying a lot of really different genre'd books, many of which got cancelled pretty shortly thereafter.

At the moment I'm liking a lot of everything, so I've been getting a lot of anthologies just for the pure diversity of genre within.

I still probably read more Marvel titles than anything else at the moment though, so I'm not anti-superhero or anything.

I've been reading and collecting for about 20 years, and most closely follow Marvel Team Books.
Alpha is still the #1 fave, when "Alpha" is original members
The Roger Stern run of Avengers including the Masters of Evil battle and the following Olympion Pantheon story you cited are long time faves also.
I'm definitely with Del that the original run of New Warriors is a great read.
My favorite team book right now is either Exiles or Young Avengers. I haven't founf anything truly inspiring in Avengers, FF or the X-titles in quite a while.
Other long term favorites that I would recommend to anyone interested in s/f comics is the original runs of Micronauts and especially Alien Legion.

I suppose it might be worth mentioning, as we sit here talknig about comics, that my tastes have begun to swing back to my pre-teen DC or at least 4 colour comics taste.

One of the things that ultimately made me sick of the X-titles and Marvel in general is the huge amount of cynicism regarding mankind and human nature. I mean, why would anyone in the Marvel Universe even bother being a hero seeing as how bad people, apparently, suck there. I can just no longer stomach the martyr-elitist-social-activists-wet-dream "...for a world that fears and hates us" bs.

So, at present, I probably consume more JLU and Teen Titan cartoons than anything else; which is kinda funny considering the arc that has been going on in JLU with alot of government mistrust of the heroes. But them, the issue is presented with alot more compassion for the human predicament than in the MU. Heck, you even have JLUers like the GReen Arrow and, of course, the paragon of humanity, Batman, having deep sympathies for humanities and the governments fears.

I've taken a glance at a couple of comicbooks put out by a Canadian publisher, Speakeasy, such as Beowulf (naturally) and Helios. There is another comic put out by an entity called Chimera called Mutation that has some interesting comicy looking art.

Eeesh! Comicbooks.

Amen Powersurge! I'm pretty sick of the basically hopeless world Marvel has built for it's characters, where every future is a dark one and the whole world wants all mutants dead. (It's not good to read depressing stuff when you're obssessive and prone to depression...)
When I do buy comics it's mainly because of a character I like (Like Kyle) or guest appearances by groups I like (Like the Brood, the only reason I read X-4 and Contest of Champions II was for the Brood, I really disliked X-4.).
I also dislike the mysticism coming into everything...Spider-Man's powers are "totemistic"? :roll:
And is anyone else tired of the mandatory superhero misunderstanding/fight that ALWAYS happens whenever two "good guys" meet. :roll:

I love threads like this!

I'm pretty much a Marvel guy. I've been collecting for 12 years and my collection is pretty Marvel-centric.

I'm really a fan of the B-C string characters. Some of my all-time favorites are: (besides Alpha Flight of course)

Heroes:
Wonder Man, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Genis-Vell, The Thunderbolts, Deadpool, Longshot, Madrox, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch,She-Hulk, The Great Lakes Avengers

Villians:
The Wizard, Mad Thinker, Masters of Evil, Baron Von Strucker, Graviton, Maggia Crime Syndicate, A.I.M., Serpent Society

Outside of Marvel I love "The Goon" by Eric Powell, The Flash, Green Lantern.

I have to agree with everyone who mentioned New Warriors, The Roger Stern/John Buscema run of Avengers, The West Coast Avengers

Now-a-days I really love The New Thunderbolts, Marvel Team-Up, New Avengers

That's about 2 cents worth I think.

Dont laugh but one of my favorite character is Franklin Richards, probably because of the first comic I followed was FF. I liked him better when Bogdanove was involved in Power Pack, he really sounded like a real kid but with powers and not a deus ex machina tool plot used in FF.

I'm mostly character driven and my favorite character usually change depensing of the writers. which in the end what made me loose interest in comic in a sense. the way you really like how a character is been portrayed and after his run someone else took over the book and character and destroyed what you like about them. Like I'm totally tired to read about the invisible women been unsecure and become a confident women, come back the way she was with LEE and Kirby and then again come back as a strong women, over and over again. I saw a little bit what Waid was doing and it looked very interesting since they seemed to kept the essential but did new things with them.

It's always like that in comic mostly Marvel or DC and the super-hero genre(not including Vertigo). So I lost interest even if I like a lot of characters for stange reasons. But I can say I like the most character that are anti-violent and familly link like Colossus or Illyanna. Tourmented character with great hearts but I do not like characters that represent violence, those with guns or "cool" characters.

Now I'm more into franco-europeen comics. I got tired of the endless useless combat in american comics (I like Sandman better or V for Vendetta for it's subversiveness) but now I get frustrated reading franco-europeen comic because the girls ends up naked for no particular reasons(I got nothing against nakedess but it's got to be a good reason, no?). Go figures!

I've mostly been a Marvel fan too, but not too much anymore. I'm really more of a character-follower. Some of my favorites...

Alpha Flight(of course)

The Original Spider-Woman(Yay....that she's back)

Werewolf By Night..Jack Russell(the Werewolf, himself)and Topaz(Hated the "Witches" mini though)

Yes, He's a big Batman rip-off, but I love the Shroud.

The Tomb of Dracula(I love Dracula, Blade, Frank Drake, Hannibal King....although, I really despised the latest mini-series...it was the worst crap, I've ever read...blech, ptoo..spewey!)

I collected The Champions, back in the day...

I used to collect the X-Men, original New Mutants, the original X-Factor, Original Excalibur...but I can't pick any of them up now....I just lost interest in the nineties(the introductions of Bishop, Gambit, Cable and all of those other lame-a$$es didn't help...ick) and that interest never came back.

I did pick up(and really liked) X-Men: The Hidden Years by John Byrne, but that got canned, unfortunately. Nothing about the thirty-some X-books appeals to me anymore.

Oh...I picked up most of the Weapon X series, but that was only to see the former Alpha characters.


At DC....the only characters I follow are...

The Doom Patrol

I also collected the Wolfman/Perez New Teen Titans way back in the eighties...but nothing else is interesting to me about DC.

I can't believe I forgot THE SHROUD!

He's one of my favorites! I don't neccessarily agree with the "Batman Rip-off", but I do see where you're coming from. I always thought of him as Marvel's Undercover Cop.

It's such a shame that they're so many great characters that are just floating in limbo (Alpha included).

I'm definiet old school when it comes to comics. Alpha is now and will forever be my favorite. Avengers West Coast and New Warriors rank right up there. Hawkeye is my favorite Avanger by far. And I absolutely loved the youthful exuberence New Warriors brought to the table with Speedball. I always loved Cloak and Dagger also. I still pick up a few titles, but they are really hit and miss. Only Exiles do I keep up with consistently. As it's been stated here already, Marvel has become depressing to read. Either they're raping my favorite characters in Alpha Flight or they're killing all mutants. I understand that writers may have gone a little overboard with the number and nature of mutants, but what ever happened to just not writing about the masses instead of marching them into concentration camps. I'd take Power Pack over most of the crap they're printing today any day!

I pick up pretty much anything and everything with an X in it, although I've been branching out lately to some other stuff. On the non-Marvel front, I'm really digging Y the Last Man and Fables, but I've managed to limit myself. Unfortunately, some of the post-Infinite Crisis stuff (especially 52) looks intriguing. Damn. Looks like thing are going to get even more expensive. :(

My favourite comic book characters, period:

1) Northstar
2) Gambit
3) Banshee (I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER)
4) Diamond Lil
5) Aurora
6) Cannonball
7) Mesmero (DAMMIT)
8) Madison Jeffries
9) Lacuna (fingers crossed)
10) Mercury

As for non-mutants, I really like Nick Fury, Hercules and Dr. Strange. And, I suppose, Mesmero. Grr.

Also, when I found out Loa was still powered, I just about had an aneurism. Despite her, like, never having lines and only one small appearance, I always just inexplicably loved her. I never in a million years expected her to keep her powers. It almost makes up for Mesmero. Almost.

I love Mirage too, pretty peeved about that. Forge is cool, too. Rogue'll always be one of my favourites even if Peter Milligan continues to MASSACRE her character. Argh! But he created Lacuna, so he gets a bit of slack. He's running low, though.

I'm sure there's many more.

I adore the Fantastic Four, both 616, Ulti, and even that horrible movie. So not surprisingly my favorite character is Ben Grimm (by almost no matter who writes him), followed by Dr. Doom in 616 (I'm actually partial to Waid's interpretation but I really am digging the mini-series). In Ulti I love Sue, she's like my non-sexual comic girl crush. Or she was, until Mark Millar took over from Warren Ellis and kidnaped NinjaGeek!Sue and replaced her with InvisibleGirl!Sue with even less common sense. *Pretends that run doesn't exist.*

Recently, I've become a big fan of Captian America; yeah, he's a goodie-goodie, but I love his pretty much 'liberal' stance through out his existence. And Steve's got the best male ass in Marvel. I'm an American History major, so I'm not all that keen with Ulti!Captain America (he seems too 'modern') and while I know he's a jerk, we've got some glimpses he's really just a kid, no older than 25 and possibly as young as 20.

And of the X-Men, I really, really liked Magneto; I still do. I'm looking forward to him without powers. I also like pre-Gambit Rogue, Jubilee, Colossus, early!Marrow, and I adore Pete Wisdom.

Like a lot of people I have been a Marvel guy for years, but I have recently found a new appreciation for a lot of the DC guys…anyways here are my favourites (other then Alpha Flight)


Spider-man – First and foremost. He’s the reason I started reading comics and the reason I continue to do so today.

Archangel – Metal winged Warren will make my list every time. I love that guy.

Black Panther – This new series is actually quite fun. I love the character and I love the concept.

Moon Knight – I am so psyched that he finally has a new book coming out. I can’t wait.

Wolverine – I don’t care if he is over exposed, I love the little guy.

DeadPool – Currently he is my favourite comic book character in the world. I only recently found him, but it was love at first read.

Puma – A little known villain in the Spider-universe. Man I hope they bring him back soon.

Superman – For most of my life I thought he was over-rated and a bit boring. I have recently discovered what I have been missing.

Batman – Even when I hated DC I still got Batman. He is just too cool to hate.

Nightwing – I love to watch people develop and evolve and no one has done more of that then Dick Grayson.

Green Lantern/ION (Kyle) – I don’t know what it is about him but Kyle speaks to me more then Hal does. I felt a connection to him the moment I started reading him.

Oh, to add, Alpha Flight is easily #1 for me for a long time. Besides the Flash, Teen Titans does catch my eye. Team books over individuals for me.

Out of the team books it seems I go:
Alpha Flight
EXiles
Teen Titans
X-Men
Who knows?

Individuals go:
Flash
Batman - Spider-Man
Superman
Iron Man

But I never individual books.

And individual from team books?

Oh, as for my favourite characters ...

My all time favourtie character is Cyclops. He is my herewo. :oops:

Wolverine was my second fav. back in the day. I still like him, but then I have yet to enter the world in which he appears in every other title, and even makes guest appearences in his own solo. Retch ....

Ummm, I've also been partial to Cap.America, and for the same reasons I've always like Batman. The reason being that, despite their degree of training et al. they are basically "normal" humans who can nevertheless hang with the most powerful. They exemplifiy the virtue of mankind, and its ability to overcome.

My favourite image characters were Spartan and Grifter.

My favourite females were Rogue, and then Psylocke before she received her Oriental make-over, but after she received the armour. I figured they could have developed her "warrior" thing fully with the context of English, or even British culture, without any need to make her over in another Japanese-based warrior.

Silver Surfer is always cool.

I guess those are my individual favourites.

Strange, I go for team books over individuals, too. Wonder why?

Alpha Flight is my first love in comics, but this is about what isn't Alpha, so:

New Warriors - a lot of people around here seem to like this one. Pick up the original if you haven't; you might enjoy it.
Runaways (written by a writer from The OC, but don't let that fool you, it's really an okay series)
New and Young Avengers (also better than you might think)
Byrne / Claremont era X-Men; to a lesser extent the recent Claremont / Davis run (and their Excalibur) and Astonishing (but I'm into Joss Whedon, so what do I know?)

I've got into Peter David a bit lately:
Supergirl (which, on further thought, seems like a Buffy rip-off) / Fallen Angel (Loving the art on the new #1)
Young Justice, which has edged out New Warriors as my second fave.

Characters? Non-Alpha?
In the order I think of them:
Silhouette
The Joker
Storm
Rogue
Nightcrawler
Catwoman (though not in her own series)
Impulse (Young Justice, not New Warriors)
Asylum
Robin
Empress (imagine an Amalgam of her and Silhouette)

bla bla bla... Okay this is now just a long list of names, I'll stop boring you.

I've got plenty of favorite characters spanning between both Marvel and DC, although most of them reside in the Marvel Universe. Oddly enough, a couple of mine have already been mentioned as minor faves, so its nice to see there are some fans of the minors out there (like Puma).

Some of my Non-Alpha Marvel Faves: Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Ka-Zar, The Thing, Alex Wilder, Nico Minoru, Puma, Vermin, Beast, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Lockheed, Toad, Iron Man, Nick Fury, Luke Cage, Wendigo, Hawkeye, Juggernaut, Bishop
Favorite Non-Alpha Teams: Astonishing X-Men, New Avengers, New excalibur, Runaways

Some of my DC Faves: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Green Arrow, Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Green Lantern (Kilowog), Ganthet, Aquaman, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), Batman, Nightwing, Ralph Dibny, Wonder Woman, Deathstroke, Dr. Light, Robin (Tim Drake)
Favorite Teams: Green Lantern Corps, Certain JL Rosters

I probably left some out, but that is the general idea. I like a lot of second stringers, especially people who can make something of themselves without actual powers, or people with pretty whimpy powers who still manage to become cool.

Seahorse (I have a Seahorse Man OC {Togorogiri} on Fanart Central :D )
Kamuu
Etc...

It's funny, while Wild Child is my favorite character, I can't think of many other "Feral" mutants I like, unless Wyre is considered feral. The only others I can think of are Vermin, Batwing, Fang (Imperial Guardsman), and Wildside, but last I heard he (Wildside) was dead :( ...I checked, he's technically Brain-Dead

I hate Sabretooth (The AOA version is alright though :) ) I've never been overly fond of Wolverine, I barely remember Wolfsbaine, except for the fact she can turn into a wolf and dated Rictor, Wendigos' are magical creatures 8-[ , I hated Feral and Thornn, I don't remember Lupo and never saw Lupa, I guess the Lobo Brothers are alright...
This Sinew fellow looks interesting though...

Non-Marvel Titles I like are mainly Anime:
Bio-Booster Armor Guyver (Viz butchered that so badly, I think Sabretooth was in charge over there...)
One Piece
Rurouni Kenshin
Wolf's Rain
and
Non-Anime I like includes Dark Horse's Godzilla and Star Wars titles, and a few Amalgam characters like Brother Brood, Cannonballflash, Bat-Thing, and DC's Changeling.

I also have a tendancy to talk way too much, not that you've noticed :wink:
Sorry about that :oops:
