@BluDrgn426 NO! That’s my pikachu! It won’t get back into its pokeball. It sleeps on my bed. I wouldn’t mind so much, but he electrocutes me when he has nightmares. I don’t think it causes any permanent damage, though. I just get stuck in several humorous poses for a second or so at a time. I breathe out smoke sometimes, though. That might not be good. But I typically just go back to sleep and I find I’m perfectly healthy within seconds. Also, I find I can walk off cliffs if I don’t look down.

By erdna8183, November 24, 2011 @ 11:41 pm
i think the movie is gonna suck..and they don’t like the comic based on the original first class cus of the writing? and the mutants line up is off and would cause a time paradox..one last thing,Darwin (Armando Muñoz) was an xmen shortly but he joined X-Factor…yes X-Factor..lets see a X-Factor movie, I’m tired of the star wars esp type movies we have been getting..lets start fresh
By tbonewilson, November 24, 2011 @ 11:56 pm
comics are shit, this is why you don’t like the vast majority of them. Leave it to the couple of viewers that make up the ifanboy crew to worry about such tripe.
By HeyDarelon, November 25, 2011 @ 12:35 am
First Class was GREAT btw!

@MoldytoasterMedia FYI, I’m not the one that flagged you. You were already flagged when I came to this page the first time. Shows how quick your annoying post gets shot down.

This guy that is spamming the comment area every time should be spammed on his own channel too. Then see how he likes it.
By krissthebliss, November 25, 2011 @ 2:33 am
you talk about ultimate spiderman rather than the x book itself… lol
By shinigami052, November 25, 2011 @ 2:49 am
@MoldytoasterMedia “I don’t like wasting my time.” yet you post the same exact thing on every single TRS video…that’s a pretty big waste of time kid.
By demiser21, November 25, 2011 @ 3:45 am
Yeah the movie isn’t based on the comic at all they just liked the title

This was an interesting alternative to the other comic book show that I like. I have to say this made me think about downloadable comics. They are too expensive in most cases and unlike the paper backs are worth jack. Anyway, after reading a few on the ipad, I have to add that I prefer paper. There is just something about it that makes it a bit more special and endearing, especially if you know how to read and write.
By MrScrappydue, November 25, 2011 @ 6:16 am
I thought this was going to be news on the comic Justice League. After 5min I left.

By Firealchemist24, November 25, 2011 @ 6:51 am
That head looks a lot like Adam Sandler if you look at it.
By allluckyseven, November 25, 2011 @ 7:01 am
So THAT was Jeff’s burfday presint! Ha! Congratulations, dude!
And great idea for a gift, guys!
By Widlits, November 25, 2011 @ 7:27 am
Just sooooo expensive to get them. 4.99$?
By masonTganes, November 25, 2011 @ 7:49 am
@Danielrh905 LCS are dead. And the big two charge way too much for 20 page “chapters”.
They have deep pockets so just google “FREE COMICBOOK DOWNLOAD” and you will find dozens of FREE sites to DL stuff the day it comes out.
For trades use amazon for the free shipping and discounted cover prices.
For indipendants…just go to local conventions to get monthlies.
Unless comics return to an affordable $2 per issue….then i will continue to digitaly download pirtated books.
By cryhwks, November 25, 2011 @ 7:59 am
OK I love comics but I have always just been a Marvel guy even though I like a lot of DC characters. But I never really read DC before because I just didn’t know the continuity. But this new reboot has got me reading DC for really the 1st time.
& this book was really great I thought Lee’s art was great & I really like the story so far & I just really like the idea of seeing these characters 1st introduction to each other. & I am going to be picking up as many of these 1st issues I can.
By blueshift912, November 25, 2011 @ 8:43 am
52 issues.
By erzan, November 25, 2011 @ 8:50 am
As some one who always wanted to get into comics but found it extremely daunting. It was good on the basis that I was reading the comic knowing as much as everyone else did. Relationships, power levels, enemies, story and all that stuff was unknown to me when I read an issue before. It put me off. So it worked for me. But on another level, because I do know the basic origin story around the characters and DC universe from other media. I still was hoping a bit of more story and plot.
By SantiagoTwelvePack, November 25, 2011 @ 9:28 am
Since movies go through reboots all the time, It’s no surprise a comic book company would think it could do the same and have success. Just remember when the dust settles and the initial excitement wears off (and it will wear off), only the stories will keep people coming back. In fact, if you produce good product in the first place, you don’t need a gimmick to sell your comics.

@betaraybrad91 touché
By masonTganes, November 25, 2011 @ 10:07 am
Ive been reading comics for 35 yrs
Charging $4 for the physical OR the digital verson of a 20 page “chapter” is INSANE!!!!!!!!!!
Physical comics should be $2. Digital $1. PERIOD.
LCS are a DEAD breed. only a few exist and are poorly run at best.
( there are some exceptions- but like 1 out of 10 woth going to)
JLA #1 was a by the numbers : ” lets get the gang together”.
TERRIBLE 1st issue. Great art.
I hope the DCnU FAILS hard.
Perfect jump OFF point for long time readers
By betaraybrad91, November 25, 2011 @ 10:23 am
@CmdrSloanne no one cares about that, well not enough to support a book. they might touch on it but then return to there roots. no one stays dead,retired,straight,good,bad in comics.
By betaraybrad91, November 25, 2011 @ 11:05 am
i rather enjoyed it. perfect for a new reader i would say.
By betaraybrad91, November 25, 2011 @ 11:10 am
@pauloskinner he was at least 30 in 1937
By Timbo183404, November 25, 2011 @ 11:46 am
