This Week in the Comics Nexus Forums

Columns

Hi everyone.  Looks like this will be my 1st official actual article as opposed to all my pictures from The Pittsburgh Comicon.  My name is Ryan but if you are familiar with the site and visit the forums you know me as Soak1313.  So let’s get to what has been going on in the comic forums.  The big event we are having right now is out Avengers tournament.  We have done this before with the X-men and it is always a fun time.  Basically 1st we have a draft where all the people involve draft who they want on their team.  This is always really interesting to see if a character someone else wanted gets picked before that person can and so on.  It’s like a fantasy draft with bickering back and forth.  Luckily for me I knew no one was going to want who I was going to pick so I dodged that bullet.  You can see the draft in all its’ glory here

This also details the rules of the draft.  There were alot of cool teams made and for some of them I would really pick up a comic featuring some of these teams.  You can also see pictures of the final teams here and the team concepts and fighting styles.

We are still in the 1st round of voting off the different team members but it has been heating up with a couple of eliminations of key characters for some of the teams.  So another thread that is really interesting is over in the Other forum.  This has been where we list what comics we have got this week and the order we read them in.  Now that might not sound that interesting but we also give our mindset as to why we read the issues in that particular order.  It’s kind of fun to get into the mind of a fan.  You can find that here

Of course there are all the posts all across the comic forum where we give out 2 cents about the issues we read and what we like and dislike about them.  There is always some hilarious talk back which is one of the reason I have been on the forum for as long as I have.  So there you have it.  My 1st official article for the site.  Be kind with your replies and please to people that read this if you are not a part of the forum please join.  It’s always good to have some new blood.
