I read this. Only 12 pages but do far leagues more interesting than AOU.
And if I can read between the lines it's spinning off stories from New Avengers.

So was Nova just super delayed? Looks like it was sposed to be an Avengers movie tie in...
Regardless the first issue was great, but these last 2 have been boring as shit. Bring on the new creative team!

Question, I'm thinking about going to C2E2 to try and get a couple autographs from artists. They're stationed in a couple rows called "Artist Alley". Are they usually down to just sign a couple issues I walk up to them with? Not sure how it works, haven't been to a comic con before.

Depends on the layout of the con but yeah they usually have a section or two where most of the Artist's are. They'll have giant banners most of the time or examples of their work, etc. They are generally there to meet fans just as much as anything else so don't hesitate even if you see them working on something (usually a comission). And yeah, they'll almost always be willing to sign stuff for you. I've taken 8+ to an artist before with no problem.

Hey everybody, it's Alley Oop! ;p
But seriously, can I ask WTF is Immonen doing? BEAST is the one that looks like a gorilla now, not Wolverine. Sure Logan's supposed to be a rugged, rough-looking guy, I've got no qualms with that; but Immonen's take now has such a case of smush-face and scrunch-face and weasel-face going on that it's crossed into parody and even reviewers are starting to call him on it.

Iris on a titans team? She'd be dead faster than Damian.

What's better than Mahmud Asrar drawing Supergirl?
Mahmud Asrar drawing two Supergirls.
And Rao be praised, Power Girl's got her new (old) look back.

Ya, they are the best source I have come across.
Preview to Uncanny Avengers #7 for this interested: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=16158
The exposition is back, but that art is pretty sweet, and I have been waiting for the Apocalypse twins stuff.

While part of me is just sighing at the level of comic ignorance in that thread, it's also a good example of why mainstream isn't adopting comics. They look at something we'd say, "Oh, been done before, no big deal," And just blow it up with, "WTF I DON'T EVEN."
Its every comic thread ever that isn't comics gaf related
There will eventually be a person saying that things like this are the reasons they dont read comics anymore
Angelus Errare
Banned
Nah the main reason mainstream doesn't get into Comics is the same as it's ever been
"Where do I start"
"What series do I have to read in order to understand X series"
"What big events do I need to read?"
"Who is <insert character here>?"
"Why did they change <insert character here?"
"I don't understand why <insert character here> is fighting <insert character here>"
"When did <insert character here> die?"
"When did <insert character here> come back to life?"
"I don't like the art of X series"
People should be knowledgeable at how stupid comics have been, that way they aren't surprised at how stupid they look now.
I wasn't a big fan of what Snyder/Capullo did with Death of the Family or Joker wearing his face as a face, this is no big deal to me outside of not liking that character design.
Meh just another thread where people pretend to be comics experts so they can shit on something.
New 52 is shit tho.

Your non-specific vitriol is quite illuminating.
You know, I love how you paint with such broad strokes when you probably read... what... next to none of the comics?
I always answer your questions. Hell, about five people answered your crying about why we thought Supes/Diana was boring and you conveniently never responded to any of it.

It's not about answering any one specific question. It's about coming into a thread that's supposed to be inclusive, and finding wonderful conversation starters like, "New 52 is shit tho." A sentiment that you've made abundantly clear, how many times? It's cool though. I don't like Marvel. I find their style doesn't suit my tastes. So I dislike it. But I'm not going to constantly trash some of the dumb shit they do, like having pocket crossovers just waiting in the wings, or double shipping books with terrible art from rushjob artists, or having twelve issue runs where nothing happens until the 11th issue.

Why not? People trash on Age of Ultron non-stop and I'm still able to to enjoy it and say why I do so.
Most of the heaviest denouncers of age of ultron are also the ones that buy every issue. Same with AvsX, civil war, and siege.

It's just, if one "side" never speaks up, it perpetuates this fantasy that these threads are all Marvel and no DC.
Marvel/DC wars predate consoles.

I'd rather have these arguments about how we apparently trash DC in this forum over those Cyclops arguments.
This is the same for any enthusiast media. Reminds me of Derrick over on the Gaming side who constantly voices his hate for modern AAA games, while simultaneously buying every major release.
Yes yes, it's just funny since the gaming board is at battle stations waiting for PS4/Durango bloodletting

Can't speak for anyone else, but half the time that I'm silent, is because what's the point? Hard to get into a reasoned debate against stuff like, "lolDC" and "New 52 is shit tho."
It'd be great if the comments were kept to specific things people dislike. Even if they are broad ones like "I really don't like what DC editorial does." At least you can talk about that sort of thing.
Anyways, sorry for snapping. Just sucks to want to interact with this community against some of the endless vitriol.
People just talk about what they enjoy. Right now a lot of posters in here are enjoying Marvel more. Doesn't stop those same people from trashing stuff Marvel puts out that's bad/mediocre. There is lots of DC discussion in here to, DotF was the biggest thing in this thread while it was going on. DC dudes are just mad sensitive right now for whatever reason.
As far as my opinion of the tone the two companies go for, it can be boiled down to the two archer books. Hawkeye is stellar, Green Arrow is okay. Hawkeye is fun while having really amazing dramatic moments(issue 9 holy shit) while GA is overly serious and kind of bland. Gorgeous art though.
But I will continue shitting on DC because I find it funny and they deserve it for cancelling Sword of Sorcery.

How was the Seagle run on House of Secrets? The omni is on sale at IST but I can't find many reviews of the run, and what I can find indicates that the book falls prey to a lot of the early-90s "edgy" Vertigo junk (not to be confused with Liefeld-esque "guns'n'pouches"). Is that true?
For reference I thought the recent Sturges/Willingham run started with promise but wound up being garbage aside from the occasional good contained fable.

Remember post- #100 Wolverine? When Kubert was drawing him all feral and he looked like a shaved rat on HGH? It's getting that bad, don't deny it.

Legion of Super Heroes #19
Legion continues to get fucked up. Polar Boy and Invisible Kid dead ??? (Probably not, but maybe). Mon-el in critical condition! (Nooo, mah boy). Emerald Empress defeated by Element Lad?! Upcoming teased fight: Ultra Boy, Chameleon, and Glorinth vs. Validus.

In all seriousness, these threads seem to go through phases and there's just a Marvel Now full moon out, and y'all are enjoying it, which is cool.
But if anybody want to discuss DC's comics, I'm always around, happily avoiding all Bendis comics.

I've never really been a Frankenstein fan, but his inclusion in B&R #19 was pretty cool? I realize comics are pretty small time, to merit advertising, but I never gave Agent of Shade a chance because I had no idea WTF it was about. A shame now. Has he joined a new team yet? (JLD?)
At least Frankenstein wasn't sub-10 fucking issues.

B&R 19 was fantastic and proves that Tomasi really got the relationship between Daiman and Bruce. I love Morrison and Damian is my favorite DC character, but Tomasi brought man-tears to my eyes in his Requiem issue and 19 showed a Bruce on the fucking edge of sanity, in the best possible way.
I don't think Frank has formally joined any new team, sadly, but I do think you (AND FUCKING EVERYBODY) should pick up the entire run. It's fun monster-mashing comics with some truly touching moments. And, honestly, Lemire did a good job for his run but Matt Kindt dominated.
