A guy who admittedly doesn't like Wonder Woman, tells how to make a Wonder Woman movie (Comics Alliance)

Worth a read, and as usual I'm certainly feeling what Chris is putting down.

I hate Comics Alliance, they talk constant shite and aren't objective about anything.

Is that the one with David Brothers? He is insufferable.

Comics Alliance used to be one of the best sites on the net but with Laura Hudson's departure it's really gone downhill.

But... Chris Sims is probably one of the best writers/critics in the comic book industry and from everything i've heard about the guy a straight up nice guy too.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Comics Alliance is one of the few comic sites I've found that don't have unbelievable pandering in their articles.

"Yo DC, stop chasing Marvel movies. But please turn Paradise Island into Asgard because I don't know, reasons. Also, I hate Wonder Woman, so let me tell you how to do Wonder Woman right."

I not joking, I can't stand them.
Granted a lot of the other sites aren't great either.

David Brothers is one of the best writers out there. You are wrong.

 

[Isak_Borg]

I think a lot of people dislike the site because it usually doesn't feed into the fanboy culture that CBR & Newsarama feed into. I will admit quality on the site has gone down since the departure of Laura Hudson but it's generally considered one of the better comic sites on the internet.

CHRIS SIMS FOREVER!

People keep saying what the guy says is good and I keep wondering if I'm reading a different article each time.

"Yo DC, stop chasing Marvel movies. But please turn Paradise Island into Asgard because I don't know, reasons. Also, I hate Wonder Woman, so let me tell you how to do Wonder Woman right."

He basically said make Pixar movies and gave a goal for the character. Pretty much standard story construction, which is sad DC needs to be told that, or that they're giving off that idea, really.

 

[Storm Chamber]

Comics Alliance is awful

 

[slightconfuse]

If marvel can make a movie with a talking. Raccoon and a tree. Wonder Woman should be easy as pie

Also comics alliance is awesome

Soule is writting Death of Wolverine.
http://popwatch.ew.com/2014/04/25/death-wolverine-marvel-exclusive/ ->1 month weekly series illustrated by McNiven.

Bye bye Cornell.

I suppose impending announcements from C2E2 will further clarify this, but it sure sounds like Death of Wolverine was originally going to happen in the Wolverine ongoing. Perhaps a response to underwhelming sales of the latest relaunch? (Which shouldn't be surprising, given that relaunching a book only a year later with the same writer already had a rank air of desperation about it.)

What are they going to do with all those unsold numbers ones now that they cant exchange theM? Why no Inhuman in July? Lol

50% off storewide sitewide worldwide Trailblazers are totally losing to the Rockets tonight wide Dark Horse Comics sale this weekend.

I know everyone hates Killjoys but for $5 for the 6 issues i'm giving in, i am prepared to come back here and complain. Was that Buzzkill series the one you guys talk about as being good? Anything else outside of the usual things people like (hellboy/bprd/mind mgmt)?

If no one read Black Beetle, that's $4 for the series.

That makes a lot of sense. Although I'm still surprised that people genuinely dislike it. It seems they put more thought into their articles than most of the comic fansites.

 

[Serpentine]

wtf @ the CA hate

they're like the only good mainstream comics website

if this is a new printing cover i need several copies

 

[Supermanisdead]

I mostly hate comics websites, but Comics Alliance is one of the better ones, I find.

 

[Father_Brain]

I would guess that the offer will just transfer over to a Death of Wolverine variant, if the mini is indeed replacing Wolverine #12 (as seems likely).

Inhuman is still solicited for July, but it's just classified. So probably an Original Sin tie-in.

TCJ's Comics of the Weak hasnt been updated in forever, which means there are no good comic sites in existence.

Killjoys bundle went up in price to $10 from 5, supply and demand folks.

bruh who used to write it works in publishing now

most of the good comics writers moved on, it's a shame

 

[purnoman3000]

It's saddens me to say but Soule will save us from Cornell's absolutely awful Wolverine run.

They took Stegman away from Spidey for this garbage

Comic writers tend to stop writing about comics because most fans want their egos stroked and it turns into a general circle jerk of everyone liking the same shit. If you dare to have an opinion that they disagree with they'll flame the fuck out of you and sometimes threaten to "rape you".

 

[ViewtifulJC]

They taken McNiven away from Uncanny Avengers for this shit, just when he was learning to draw...

Fuck mike marts

yuuuuuuuuup. most of the ones i used to follow just got disillusioned and fell out of it and got different jobs in the industry

Even more annoying is that apparently this is McNiven's last work for Marvel and he'll be exclusive to that prick Mark Millar's Millaworld stuff according to Bleeding Cool http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/04...harles-soule-and-steve-mcniven-for-september/

 

[Onemic]

What is it with early 80's Uncanny Xmen and Claremont trying really hard to to hook up Colossus with young as hell Kitty? dat statutory rape.

Is there a particular reason Dark Horse comics are not on Comixology? Wanted to buy some Hellboy and Empowered.

Dark Horse has it's own digital app and prefer to keep things in house but that is just a rumor I heard.

I've been lurking these threads for a while and only posted 1-2 times but I thought I'd just post real quick to subscribe and say that Superior Foes of Spider-Man is pretty hilarious.

Well everything Millar shits out is optioned for a film. The casting couch is real brahs.

The more I think about what Waid is doing the more curious I get, but I can't decide if it's genuine fascination or just morbid curiosity.

It looks like dark horse double charged me for my order since they are having checkout problems....watch your butts.

Is anyone else reading The Saviors? Image is on a roll!

Best company releasing books right now. Come at me.

You gotta respect the paper quality and the quality of the art/stories they are putting out. A credit to the medium. Really shames marvel and dc on the paper front.

Boom, IDW and Daek Horse are the gods of paper quality. I lose all respect for Marvel when they use Great Value book paper. Axel Alonso couldn't even tlk imself into wiping his ass with it.

I find their paper quality to be very hit or miss. The covers for stuff like Deadly Class feel like they are just waiting to absorb any and all moisture.

 

[KoruptData]

IDW and Dark Horse are the kings!

 

[Serpentine]

Yeah IDW has pretty good all around quality. I like DC's coverstock

If I had to order the main publishers at the moment (in terms of currently running series):

1. Image
2. Dark Horse
3. Marvel
4. DC
5. IDW
6. Boom!

Image is certainly king, at the moment. Dark Horse is lucky to be putting out my favorite series (Hellboy/BPRD/etc), otherwise they'd be lower. Marvel has Daredevil, Uncanny Averngers, Hawkeye, and a few more that I'm interested in. DC has Vertigo, otherwise it'd be in last place. IDW and Boom! have a few series I read every once in a while (like Adventure Time, Lumberjanes, TMNT) , but I'd be able to get along without them just fine. Others like Valiant and Zenescope, I don't think I've ever read anything from.

I pimp this book to everyone I talk to. It's so great.

Little annoyed by the filler issues, but the regular issues have been consistently good so I can tolerate them.

Finished reading through Rat Queens and I really loved it. Definitely gonna order the trade when I can.
