Palatinus' OverPower Forum

Sadly, for the last couple years I've pretty much quit reading new stuff, with the exception of Saga (which I collect in trades).

I love Saga! I have it all in floppy format, except for the first two trades.

If you ever want some suggestions on new stuff, I've got a ton, especially if you like Saga.

Heyo!

Which photo editor are you using? I could probably get something over to you!

just joined after lurking for quite a while

if anyone has an easy to use template i'd really like one, thanks

I'm reading through all of marvel 2099.  It's definitely a product of its time and has some real issues, but there's also a lot of good mixed in and I like when they actually try to do different things.

to fennshysa: I checked out your Amazo on the "Lots & Lots" thread.  While more thematically correct, I'm not sure it works in an OP environment.  21 points for a character that may not be able to play most cards in your deck (depending on your team build vs. Opponent's team build).  A risky proposition at best.  The only special I disagreed with was the self-negate.  I'm not sure he warrant's that one.

to Majestic - I need to pull an Eeyore here: "Thanks for noticing me."  I am sometimes amazed at all the visits this site gets, yet so few people post.  I'll get over it.

my intent was to even up my DC posts with my Marvel posts - I'm 5 locations & 2 Missions short.  For the first location, I needed to add an extra character (which makes up for the Jubilee: Vampire cards).

JLA Detroit


Specials:
Elongated Man
Firestorm
Gypsy
Martian Manhunter
Steel
Vibe
Vixen

which leads to the first location, Detroit MI


Aspects:
Dale Gunn
Jason Rusch

Nanda Parbat


Aspects:
Judomaster
Rama Kushna

next, I intentionally went lower-tier (& non-legacy) for Blackgate Penitentiary


Aspects:
Island Fortress
Utter Bedlam

Belle Reve  I've seen 50+ characters made for OP that fit in the location.


Aspects:
Implant Trigger
Rick Flag

the last location is primarily from Doom Patrol, with a nod to the New 52 version of the Teen titans.  Doom Patrol characters I've seen made for OP include the team itself, Chief, Elasti-Girl, Negative Man, Robotman, Beast Boy/Changeling. Celcius, Negative Woman, Elongated Man, Metamorpho, and Ambush Bug.  Presenting: Danny The Street


Aspects:
Danny The Ambulance
Danny The Brick
Danny The Island
Danny The World
Dannyland

That's all for now.  Sooner or later I'll be back with 2 Missions.

I've just started back through Maddrox and X-Factor with the Peter David X-Factor Omnibus. I never really thought Peter David was a good writer til I read the X-Factor Investigations stuff.

I love so many of them. Bryne and Davis had some solid years of work.  I like Art Adams from those days. I've sort of forgotten about Salvador Larroca. He was good.

I think that Mike Zeck the guy who did the original Secret Wars and many other things may be one of the most overlooked artists from the 80s.

Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane. Mark Bagley may be the most prolific good comic artist ever. When lots of artists couldn't even meet their deadlines he was drawing 2 monthly comics! Well.

Greg Capullo, Tony Daniel, and Darrick Robertson.

I love Scottie Young's baby covers. Mike Deodato and Clayton Crain. Pepe Larez (his Deadpool X-Force mini series is probably my favorite art ever.) It's as cool as I thought X-Force and Liefeld was when I was a kid.

I still like Quesada's stuff too. The Kuebert brothers. Especially the one who drew wolverine forever.

My faves include John Byrne (especially his earlier stuff), Alan Davis, Carlos Pacheco, Bill Willingham, and Salvador Larroca.

As always, awesome stuff!
