Yeah, if Bru's Captain America isn't my #1 comic from Marvel in the 2000's, it has to be pretty damn close. Brubaker made me love Bucky. And the Winter Soldier ongoing is the perfect follow-up. Love it more than I can say.

Also, I think it's kind of neat that the next sequels to the Cap and Iron Man films are (supposedly) both going to be based on the '00's post-Disassembled relaunches of both those books. Cap 2 is rumored to be the Winter Soldier Saga, while Iron Man 3 is rumored to be Extremis.

Can't say I'm surprised they're using recent storylines for their books. I mean, Thor used JMS's run, Avengers is borrowing from aspects of Ultimates (vomits), Iron Man technically already drew from parts of Extremis with the setting for where Tony got injured.

Even the non-Marvel Studios movies have drawn from recent runs. X-Men 3 drew from Whedon's Gifted arc, Wolverine drew from Origin, Elektra drew Rucka's Elektra/ Wolverine mini from the early '00's.

It makes sense they'd go with the runs that were most likely to have been read in recent years.

I didn't know that about Elektra. I just thought they randomly cobbled some stuff together.

I read somewhere they'd wanted Hugh Jackman to have a "blink and you'd miss him" cameo in Wolverine make-up too. She was supposed to bump into someone getting off the ferry and it was going to have been him, but it never went passed the "Wouldn't it be cool if...?" stage. Would've been pretty funny if they'd done it.

Seeing as this is the massive DC thread maybe somebody can answer this for me.

I follow the Batman title, but none of the others. Is this "Court of Owls" crossover a legit crossover (e.g. part 1 in Batman, part 2 in Nightwing, and so on) or just a sweeping theme of Talons fighting the Bat-family? Would I be safe in just reading the core Batman title or would I have to buy all the Bat-family books as well? I gave up on tie-in books a long time ago, so I don't want to really break the bank for a slew of books for one or two months. Thanks.

None of the other books are necessary to read.
