Minus the titty comment. :). It's pandering at one of the lowest levels. Because obviously creating a strong female character from scratch is impossible. And girls couldn't possibly relate to them, because they don't really read comics.

"Look! -It's a Thor you can FUCK! 'Dem titties! BUY IT, nerds!" *rolls eyes* How about an original, strong female character? Not just- "What if Spider-Man didn't have a dick!?", or "You've always wanted to titty-fuck Captain Marvel or Superman- WELL NOW YOU CAN!", or "Batman is a lesbian now! You know you want it!!!" *shudder* The state of the industry, I swear to the gods...... "Lady Bullseye", fuck you! I've gone and made myself so angry now...

Dropped around $60 to start it up- another $40 over the next few months... before realizing the game-play rules are fundamentally broken. I hated it. Sold all my shit on eBay. It's been years now- I'm sure they've fixed it with expansions and revised rules but... fuck that. They already got my money once!<br /><br />I'd email them about ROM... but I'd just get the exact same response. Plus- whatever they made, if they DID make something, would most assuredly suck.

Does anyone know how long it's taken them in the past to put the exclusives for sale on their website?<br /><br />In addition to the Dire Wraith and Ikon (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1675444/gotg6.jpg) figures & cards in the new Guardians of the Galaxy Heroclix set, there's also a "Dire Wraith Queen" figure (no picture online yet...Volx maybe?), and there's a differently powered & carded "Spaceknight" figure that is the same sculpt as Ikon but painted gold & a blue staff tip instead of Ikon's pink (http://cavalock.blogspot.com/2014/06/cavalock-and-guardians-of-galaxy.html). It seems like all 4 of them are going to be commons, not rares, so that's great news if true.<br /><br />@Randomnerd, Ikon is supposed to appear along with the Annihilators in next week's "Thanos - The Infinity Revelation" original graphic novel hardcover by Jim Starlin.<br /><br />Sal Buscema's still got it!Gary Martin, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11385338936431036524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-49075658893198388812014-07-28T18:29:22.254-07:002014-07-28T18:29:22.254-07:00I liked Ikon, too.

In fact, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she pops up somewhere again. It was a good attempt at introducing a female character into Marvel, without, oh, I don't know. Turning Thor into a girl. <br />Still kind of tweaked about that.<br />Sal's picture makes me wonder what a bedroom wallpapered with his artwork would look like. Other than awesome. Thinking logistics here. That's a lot of decopage to consider.Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-91806829861862359502014-07-28T13:28:55.178-07:002014-07-28T13:28:55.178-07:00i don't mind Ikon at all. she's no ROM, bu...i don't mind Ikon at all. she's no ROM, but i still think she's one of the more positive aspects of all the ROM related new stuff from marvel in recent years. seeing her lead the classic spaceknights in the Infinity series was the most encouraging thing i had seen in a long time from marvel but of course then j. hickman had to go and kill them and Galador off. it makes me wonder if marvel got the rights to have Rom in the marvel universe again what ever kinda story line could they use him for now given that stupid move hickman made.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-8763638765695131452014-07-28T12:53:41.228-07:002014-07-28T12:53:41.228-07:00You're going to grab Ikon?
