Well... I knew there was gonna be a thread.

man, that page is....painful.

 

[ThyMusicMan]

It's my most hyped book since Collider. #learningtoloveagain

))))

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Is it just me or does cyborg have more "human bits" than in justice league?

 

[Poodlestrike]

man, that page is....painful.

Yeah, the descriptions people gave of it on here did not do it justice. "Full gay," oof.

I think you're right. Redesign for the better though, IMO.

When are tickets supposed to go on sale this year? I really hope I can manage to not sit in the cue for hours and hours and still only end up being able to get a thursday only ticket because everything else is sold out.

Not until after Special Edition NYC in June since people going to that get first crack at 4 Day tickets.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Random Multiversity observations after reading through it all again. The Transmatter cubes are Nix Uotan's Rubik's Cube, this is made pretty obvious in the Guidebook and Ultra Comics issues. In the opening pages of Ultra Comics, Ultra has the same red and blue eyes of the Ultraman/Superman controlled Thought Robot from the Superman Beyond issues of Final Crisis. When Hitler meets baby Overman for the first time, his baby talk can pretty easily be interpreted as saying "Weeja Dell". Weeja Dell was a Monitor and Nix's love interest in Final Crisis.
So Multiversity, a real story of a real Multiversal threat, or simply the fever dreams of a depressed kid who had his heart broken?

If this is THAT TYPE of follow-up to Final Crisis, I'd be super happy.

Is some jigga badmouthing Frank Quitely?

Have Frank Q. pin-up goodness, scrubs

 

[Arksy]

So I binged on fables, yes, all 149 issues over the weekend when I was sick.

One question:

Spoiler

Is it me or is there literally zero plot after they reclaim the homelands from Gepetto?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Are we fighting in here again cause I forgot to wash my fightin clothes from last time

Nah.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Flex Mentallo is the greatest

 

[tim1138]

If this is THAT TYPE of follow-up to Final Crisis, I'd be super happy.

Now that I've put it in writing, Morrison is either going to ignore the connections or prove me completely wrong. Hah.

 

[GrandHarrier]

I just saw the Iceman page.

Lol.

Nah.

She looks like an old oompa loompa wearing a headdress.

Also is she emaciated or is her head just way bigger than her body?

 

[Messi]

So sad I didn't get to buy the Ally or Lisa sketches Sejic posted on Facebook. I was 2nd to ask for Lisa 2 mins after he posted

 

[Freezasaurus]

She looks like an old oompa loompa wearing a headdress.

Also is she emaciated or is her head just way bigger than her body?

No, that's from early Clone Wars episodes. She's like 14 there. She's all grown up now.

 

[Tizoc]

Now that I've put it in writing, Morrison is either going to ignore the connections or prove me completely wrong. Hah.

What if the UNIVERSE is making him make the connections? WHAT IF HE IS DOING IT SUBCONSCIOUSLY?

 

[Coriolanus]

Should I bother tracking down that Flex Mentallo run?

Also that Iceman OT thread is going a whole lot better than i expected. Bah, no fun.

 

[Mudcrab]

Should I bother tracking down that Flex Mentallo run?

Yes.

 

[whatsinaname]

Should I bother tracking down that Flex Mentallo run?

Eh, it was ok. Worth a read I guess.

 

[Tizoc]

[Owzers]

I just saw the All-New X-Men #40 spoiler thingy because of the OT.

Wow. Not just the development but that page, that glorious page. I think i skimmed past it here because i didn't want to be spoiled on All new since i read it on MU eventually, but wowwwwwwwwww.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

It's not as good as the Flex arc in Doom Patrol, but it's still pretty good

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Kamala looks so happy. Carol looks... bored. Or boring, it's hard to tell.

Marvel solicits for July 2015 (CBR)

DC's slowpoking; normally they have theirs out well before Marvel's drop.

 

[Schweinehund]

Yeah, the descriptions people gave of it on here did not do it justice. "Full gay," oof.



I think you're right. Redesign for the better though, IMO.

Dunno what it is about disembodied heads that are alive but I hate it. Think there's a teen titans panel where Superboy barges into Cyborg doing maintenance and it's just his head. Blegh. Same shit in the new robo cop movie. Think he has been mostly robot. Trying to remember how much was left after grid separated from him.

I'd say determined. Kamala acting exactly how you would expect though.

[Busaiku]

Is Miguel gonna be in Secret Wars 2099 or Spider Verse or Spider Island or something else?
The 2099 covers don't have him appearing at all, and he's back in 2014 now, so I'm confused.

 

[Cade]

If it's the same post I'm thinking of I could have sworn it was referencing TDKSA. In which case.....

Nah it was TDKR proper, about the page where Bruce and Clark are fighting.

 

[Messi]

Noto cover is amazing

Howard. HOOK IT TO MY VEINS

How is this Rogue series? I assume it's crap as I've never heard about it.

They are doing complete tpbs of Miles Ultimate Spider-man.

 

[mreddie]

Squirrel Girl, Howard, AntMan, Ms. Marvel, Silk, and the Secret Wars insanity. Jesus, July is insane.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Flex Mentallo is the greatest

Come on the set up was there some one had to do it.

 

[ReAxion]

and he's back in 2014 now

He had to. Would you like a spoiler?

 

[Busaiku]

I'm reading 2099, just wondering what he's gonna be in for Secret Wars.

 

[ElNarez]

Spoiler

much like a young Bobby Drake

, IMAGE SOLICITS ARE OUT. There's a new book written by Kot for tim, Slug and I, and also a bunch of wacky shit like this

 

[Dan]

July solicitations for Image

No sign of Tokyo Ghost

But there's another new Ales Kot ongoing:

WOLF #1
STORY: ALES KOT
ART / COVER: MATT TAYLOR

COLORS: LEE LOUGHRIDGE
JULY 22 / 64 PAGES / FC / M / $4.99
Bestselling new star writer ALES KOT teams up with white-hot artist MATT TAYLOR and DEADLY CLASS colorist extraordinaire LEE LOUGHRIDGE for an all-new ONGOING SERIES! The crime noir thrills and characters reminiscent of True Detective meet with mythical stakes worthy of Neil Gaiman's Sandman in this original fantasy/horror/crime saga for mature readers. Antoine Wolfe, a hard-boiled paranormal detective with a death wish, has to cope with sudden responsibility for an orphaned teenage girl who might be the key to the impending apocalypse, California-style. The road to hell and back begins in a MAX-SIZED FIRST ISSUE, with fifty-eight pages of story and no ads!

I'm gonna be very tempted to double dip on that East of West hardcover.

[Messi]

[Freezasaurus]

Kind of astounded there's no Deadly Class hardcover yet.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

New comic with Loughridge colors is always good

[Serpentine]

[Messi]

This made me chuckle

KAPTARA #4
STORY: CHIP ZDARSKY

ART / COVER: KAGAN McLEOD

JULY 22 / 32 PAGES / FC / T+ / $3.50

•Our hero finds a way home, but it’s only issue four so that seems suspect.

•A perfect jumping-on point for people who love to collect “issue fours!”

Cherp Zerkzky is pretty funny.

Also the 2nd XXX cover of Sex criminals is priced at 4.69 lol.

--

These two covers are lovely (Please stay on rat queens forever Sejic)

Saga solicit is very ominous

Very interested in the new Kot book. The cover looks great.

BLOODSTRIKE #1

COVER C: KARL ALTSTAETTER

JULY 8 / 32 PAGES / FC / M / $3.99

X-Force, Cable, and Deadpool creator ROB LIEFELD returns to comics with a new ONGOING series, a lively romp that reveals a more mature side to LIEFELD than fans have previously experienced. A new recruit to the Bloodstrike program (his identity as a mystery man from the historical Extreme Universe soon to be revealed!) struggles on a covert mission and loses his life as well as his junk to the mysterious TRAGEDY ANN!

Also, is Chrononauts more than 4 issues?

also not sure how I feel about an american writer appropriating canadian culture for commercial purposes tbh

the new BKV? I'd never even heard about it before right now

 

[anaron]

that black widow cover is amazing

I hope we get to see a version without the stupid secret wars logo

 

[TetraxShards]

28€ for the tickets, 20€ for 2x the 1,5 litre soda and the XXL Popcorn. Its expensive but if you compare the pices you go cheap along with the snacks.

That's ridiculous. Our cinema is half of that, not that I'll be paying.

That Rat Queens cover though. Sejic da god.

 

[frye]

finally, Island and Bloodstrike

the new BKV? I'd never even heard about it before right now

yeah, it was announced at the latest Image Expo actually. I'm kind of interested out of curiosity but otoh I've fallen off BKV again after a minute of liking Saga

also cool Island, hope to see more Multiple Warheads (lol)

 

[Messi]

finally, Island and Bloodstrike



Also, is Chrononauts more than 4 issues?

I thought Chrononauts was only 4 issues but its listed as vol 1. Thats cool. I would like more of this.
