The OFFICIAL AvX Thread

Considering the crap we transmit, it wouldn't surprise me.

i feel bad for aliens.

i feel bad for aliens.

You and me both, man.

No wonder they're always sticking things in a redneck's bum.

[S. Earl]

if any alien race comes across Skrillex as it's first example of a human, we will be scorched from the face of the earth as a mercy genociding.

If the Celestials ever come to judge our evolutionary process, and land in the middle of an LMFAO concert, we will be wiped from existence and the husk will be left for Galactus to pick his teeth with.

I read this first issue, and it didn't get me excited enough to buy 11 more issues. If this were 4-6 issues, I might consider it, but this was not the exciting start to a 12-issue series. I mean, what's gonna happen?

X-Men fight the Avengers over Hope.
One of them wins, the other plots revenge.
They go to extract revenge, and the Phoenix shows up.
They have to work together to solve the Phoenix problem.
In the process, everything changes! Kinda.

That sounds like a 4-6 issue series to me. This first issue didn't hint at or promise anything more to me than what I wrote above, and I'm not gonna buy more issues hoping for more promises.

Good Lord, I hope NASA made sure no one was watching the Super Bowl at any space stations.

it begs an interesting question: what single musical transmission would keep the celestials from thinking we're a waste of space?

"Hey Ya" by Outkast. How can you destroy a race that creates something that catchy?

Man no love for the WUB WUB up in these parts

[Lucien21]

I enjoyed the first issue it was fine.

However the swipe-athon infinite comic had too many continuity errors that drove me daft .

Nova's trail is blue although in AvX it was Orange, Where he finally lands seems to be a demolished pile of rubble however in AvX they look at him through a hole in the wall of an otherwise intact building. etc etc

There was obviously little communication between the two artists.

I wouldn't blame Romita, Jr. and Immomen, I'd fault the editor for not telling the colorists to fix it.

   Do editors do anything anymore? Don't mean to bring it down but there's too much of this stuff going on. It's the editor's job to say "wolvie's claws don't come out from there, redraw that page" isn't it?

To be honest, I just think we're the 1% of people that actually care about that stuff. I doubt it's going to prevent any of us from buying the next issue. It's not even worth the effort to fix it.

Can I overlook costume discrepencies and I'm not that big on continuity for two reasons: I haven't read everything, my retention is minute. But there are things that shouldn't be overlooked. Wolvie's claws is just the easiest to use when making the point.

Colors matching between two art teams, I'd lay that on editorial. It's like visual proofreading. Speaking of, I cannot stand finding typos in comics. It happens but I still hate seeing so much of it recently. Luckily some things can be fixed and updated via digital comics, but not for the print cats.

It won't prevent us from buying the next issue, you're right, my point is why isn't there someone checking this stuff? There are rabid fans out there and if it was my product, I'd want the best product out there. And if something slipped by, I think it'd be well worth everyone's time to fix it.

I can't speak for comics, but I'm an editor myself. One of the keys to any project is knowing when to pick your battles. A lot of these mistakes were more than likely caught. They're just not always worth fixing. Accuracy is important, but not as important as turning out a quality product on time. If there are minor errors that won't affect sales, it's probably best to leave them in. Fixing mistakes can sometimes prove more costly than leaving them in. As a copy editor, it's sometimes painful to let mistakes slide, but not as painful as missing a deadline.

I agree 100% on the typos though. Typos should always be caught.

[Bobgar Ornelas]

  Phillies64 I think we agree on this. I'm a designer and before they downsized us I was the only one catching mistakes after they went to print. I just couldn't see every design before it went to print, because my and my employees schedules didn't always coincide. In a perfect world the eds would catch all this stuff, but yeah you can't have (competent) eyes on everything at all times.

I mean they'd misspell the damn products name when logo is only inches away from the copy! 

(well the downsize saved me the effort of firing one employee )

I think proofreeding is a thing of the past.

This is probably the greatest post ever.

Just got done reading the first issue. Like many of you I am reading it without dissecting it. And I have found that this approach worked quite well, as I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next issue.

[Tom Morris]

That is definitely not Richard Ryder of the 616.  There is no way that he was Cardinals fan.

He's consider dead as he and Starlord were trapped in the Cancerverse fighting Thanos as it was collapsing in the Cosmic Rip

It could be his younger brother Robbie (although he was depowered at the end of Thanos Imperative).

My best guess is that its a Nova from an alternative dimension.  Maybe its the one from Ultimate Spider-man cartoon?

It could be Chris Nessman.
