Has anyone read the Justice League Future's End yet? Does it list which members of the Legion are present? I'm curious if it's the Legion Lost.

And found the answer. From the Future. so not the Legion Lost.

Oh snap. I was kind of down about the (non) state of the Legion in New 52. I'm gonna have to catch up on Justice League United.

the credit... ?
 
Hawkeye was enjoyable as always. Wu's art with Hollingsworth's colors is truly fantastic. And I love Kate but I'm just ready for her to go back to Clint for the big climax already. This is gonna be such a fun read once it's all collected.

Oh and "payback's a bitch" was such a great scene.
 
Can we take a moment to talk about how great Bruce Timms art is?

HARLEYQUINNPOISONIVYPIN-UPDRAWINGbyBruceTimm.jpg~320x480


Also Darwyn Cooke deserves a mention. His Catwoman is so cool.


I've always been a big fan of Timm. The shows we worked are a part of my childhood.
I really want that Harley & Ivy piece now. I love Darwyn Cookes rendition of Catwoman...even little bit more than Adam Hughes. I still like Hughes shinier Catwoman though lol.

Also, it's comic book day. Time to give Image more money.....
 
I guess Marvel figures they might as well just toss the two entities that they don't have movie rights for together.
Watch as Fantastic Four makes a guest appearance.

Or just their importants Comic-franchises.

Avengers and Iron Man Comics still dont sell like everybody should expect after the movies, do they?
 
So Batman Eternal just turned into
No Mans Land
. Good Catwoman focused issue. Really enjoying this story. Hope the rest of the Bat-line don't ruin it.
 
Hell, I'll read this if the writing is better than Slott. I need a well written Peter again.

Thats why I am interested in it, too.

But its a series with Spider-Man as the main protagonist, so I would have bought it regardlessly.

Was curious about a new Spider-Title anyway, there are currently only two Ongoings with Spider-Family Member to buy, but I expected it earliest after Spider-Verse.
 
Avengers Undercover finale was nice. It was cool
to see the kids get a mostly happy ending. I don't really feel sorry for Rebecca though, she made her choice. Also Cammi leaving Earth like a boss.

Anyone for All-New Runaways? Make it happen, Marvel!

I will say this again, Elliott Kalan is the head writer of the Daily Show. Say those words slowly with your mouth and think about what their sounds mean. Something terrible will have to have gone wrong for it to be bad.

Wait wait wait. What.

Okay, my hype levels for this just went from completely nonexistent to superhype.
I am so looking forward to this. The head writer of the Daily Show writing Spiderman. Oh my goodness.

I am from europe, we dont see your strange american shows :D


But everybody Ive heard talking about the Daily Show loved it, so it will be good, I guess :D
 
oh god. oh god. my roomate picked up ASM #7 and....i think it's awful. like, a markedly lower quality level than normal.

Silk is a total mary sue. She's Peter's flirty attractive girlfriend who has more powers (insulated organic webbing? What the fuck?), improved powers (they were bitten by the same fucking spider, how is her spider sense super long range?), is absolutely flawless in every scene to the point that it stands out, and, the worst crime, it makes Peter the damsel in distress the whole book. It just feels like every conflict is "Peter fucked up and is in trouble, HERE IS SILK TO SAVE THE DAY"

Black Cat's character assassination is totally bullshit. She's a full on supervillain now who is acting evil and hating peter for literally no reason other than she's suddenly crazy. Now that it's here to stay, I just hope whoever's after Slott fixes it.

Sajani becoming a mustache twirling evil villain business man is probably the single dumbest writing move I've seen from Slott in a long time. "The profits aren't high enough"? What the fuck? She's a fucking scientist. Has she ever shown anything even indicating this?
 
The way people go on about those filler issues of superior foes is pretty damn funny, in the context of someone not reading that book

"Can't wait to get the OHC of Foes, cept for those fuckin fill in issues Jesus CHRIST"

Lol, of course that's how Slott would right an original female character who's closely related to the main male protagonist. Slott and his Spider females
 
Oh fun, the X-Statix omnibus is ready to pick up at the library.

Very nice! Will this be your first time reading it?

Haha yeah, seriously. How bad are these fill in issues? X-Men 100th Anniversary Special bad? Or just "not as good as the rest of the run" bad?

The first filler issue was alright. It was weaker than the Spencer stuff but it at least understood the characters and the tone of the series. The second one was some weird and dramatic issue about some random characters being afraid of Spider-Man. It was just completely out of tone with the series and just served zero purpose. I'm okay with an issue to break up the pace and do something different, but it just rubbed me the wrong way.

I honestly do believe that the series was going to end at 15 but Marvel pushed out these two filler issues to grab some extra money while Spencer and Lieber worked on the regular issues.

Pai Pai: I know I'm being hyperbolic by saying "avoid" before seeing anything from the comic! I am very, very skeptical about the book he'll be working on though, and I think that's pretty fair since I've only read one thing from him that I didn't like at all.

Eh.

If he was head writer for John Oliver then we'd be talking
 
That Spiderman and The X-men sounds coool been hoping spiderman go by the school since Aaron started the run. It makes sense given his past history as a teacher during the JMS run.
 
The Walking Dead #131

Woah, Sophia isn't that angsty kid anymore. And I suppose she still has a thing for Carl. The latter seems so happy. Aaaaannndddd ssssshhhhiiiiiieeeeet Kirkman you just don't casually mention Michonne like that without any context. What happened to her!!??
I've been enjoying the last few issues of the Walking Dead again. Good stuff.

The Amazing Spider-Man #6

Yeah, okay, I guess.

The Death of Wolverine #2

Good follow up. Still hasn't turn to shit. Pls Mahvel don't fuck it up.

Ms. Marvel

My name is LOCKJAW. I like hugs! <3

Magneto #9

Still a "I'm the goddamn Magneto and I will rabbl rabbl if I want too!" story, but man I like every issue.

Hawkeye #20

Worth it just for the Kate-face when she burns down the house. I lost it.
