Yeah data limits have to suck. For both home and mobile services.

Oh it was terrible. I basically couldn't download games, had to worry about game patches, Netflix had to be in medium quality, couldn't watch Amazon Instant Video because they're quality's too high and can't be changed, etc. Can't tell you how much a relief it is now to not have to worry about it anymore.

So he doesn't deserve to be criticized or made fun of at all?

lol I think there's a pretty big difference between "not being criticized or made fun of at all" and constant hate. Seriously, I've only been reading comics for a year, but I have never once heard a single positive thing about DiDio from people.

Whenever DC does something good/cool, it's just "good job DC" or something, but if they do something dumb, it's always DiDio's fault. Every single time.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I haven't been reading many comics lately, too much time grinding in Dark Souls 3 for a character who was a mistake in the first place. Pyromancy? Why.

You can respec if you want. There's a covenant leader that will let you do so.

Didio, the DCs Bendis

Didio is much more dangerous than Bendis.

 

[frye]

Eddie Berganza needs to be thrown into a dumpster along with Didio, Lee and Harras.

all those guys are probably negative creative influences one way or another but only one is a literal sexual harasser

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Is his Green Lantern book legit good or is to fanboyish?

Didio is actually in charge. Bendis is just a veteran with pull who has a lot of freedom to do what he wants, which results in some genuinely great stories. Also if you really want to compare, you should be comparing Johns and Bendis

So the question if Didios Green Lantern Book was legit good is hating on Bendis? Cool, I see, makes sense. Not.

Is it still "he said she said"? If it's true Rucka isn't gonna last long on WW.

No, the answer is, what GL book are you even talking about?

The one where Hal came back?

Man you don't get to be upset. You just made a post about comparing Didio to Bendis. You also made a post earlier about how you hate Bendis and how he plays fanboy with certain characters.

Since I didn't know Didio actually had a GL book, I'd say my logic follows perfectly. The post came off as being cheeky.

The one where Hal came back?

That's Johns.

And I fucked up and mixed up Johns and Didio.

Spoiler

There is no way Didio is worse then Axel Alonso. No way.

It's basically a question of "who is the least hippest with the kids?".

And the answer would probably be Didio.

I've been debating it and going for more melee combat but i'm bad at melee and i deserve to be a pyro/mage. Throw spells at invaders as they dodge them and kill me. I'm around the area where i can get more pyro spells, i'll just try for that and if they don't help i'll migrate to strengthier days. I already have the item needed to restat and the bonfire activated. Starting off as a sorcerer and reverting back to beginning stats is still kinda bad for full melee. 16 int/16 attunement/12 luck.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

My comic company execs are shittier than yours! They let Lemire do whatever the fuck he wants!

 

[GAMEPROFF]

And the comparison wasnt even meant in a bad way, I havent read many Johns books (I think... None..?) but what I hear from you guys they really seem similar, Bendis really delivers when he writes his favorite character like Daredevil or Ultimate Spider-Man, but gets lazy when he doesnt care. But if you are a fanboy you can easily write books to shiney for your favorite hero.

Sorry, was a little bit "eeeeh?" because of your post but seems like I confused you

The problem with Bendis is that he's on books that clearly don't fit his strengths far too often and probably writes too many books.

I really think Marvel needs to hand their cosmic stuff over to Ewing.

 

[Sadist]

I just wish Marvel would stop giving Bendis big event books

Civil War II will be horrible

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

I love Bendis bashing. We can all ignore that the guy has written a bunch of great series, that no writer except Hickman has written a good Marvel event (including Fraction and Remender), and we can just totally pummel someone without reading the final product.

Love it.

Nah man. Bendis is a cool guy when he gets the time write something awesome (I love his Ultimate Spider-Man run, almost got the complete Peter Parker run) and recently I enjoyed the Secret Wars Old Man Logan tie-in and his Invincible Iron Man run.

And hey, I'll gladly eat crow if Civil War II is any good.

Sorry m8, wasn't directed at anyone in particular. It's just the general climate around here gets to me sometimes.

I never say this, my issue is that he seem to dont care a lot of times and it is just lazy when writers fill one team with their faves and we all know what will happen with the other guys

 

[Messi]

I wouldn't agree that Bendis is someone who doesn't care.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I wouldn't agree that Bendis is someone who doesn't care.

Just about the characters he doesnt like

 

[duckroll]

All the "big" names who become synonymous with a studio as chief writer end up like this. It's not unique to Bendis. At least he sticks to writing and doesn't become an EIC and -really- burn out from that. The good writers who don't suffer this fate tend to stick to one book at a time, and when they feel they've contributed enough, they move back to creator owned indie stuff.

The one thing I find funny is when people blame him for things other writers did.

 

[Calcium]

Exactly this. Bendis shouldn't write team books. He is much better with a smaller, more focused story.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

What's the evidence of that? He's got Daredevil on one side, Spider-Man on the other; he's written both.

Or they move back to indie after having their stories get completely botched and reworked by higher ups. Remender was doing so good at Marvel but his indies are showing it's their loss.

Miles is in Tonys Team
His adult Peter was always very very awful IMO.

 

[Owzers]

I read Avengers vs X-men and the other X-men event thing that i don't even remember the name because it doesn't matter. AvX was 12 issues! TWELVE. And probably a zero issue!

Also Secret Invasion.

I will never forget, and i will never forgive. Well, i did forget the one thing above, but i remembered not liking it.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

That's just not true. He put a lot of love and care in Spider-Men and it showed.

Didn't Remender leave because his creator owned work became big enough to support his family and that was his "dream"?

AvX was written by like four different writers.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

In his Ultimate Spider-Man, yes, thats were I fully agree. 616 Peter Parker came always off as an idiot for me.
He wrote an amazing Osborn, thats sure.

I'm capable of expanding my disappointment onto three more writers. Bendis became the worst when i was reading Avengers, New avengers, and Secret Invasion and then the books moved to 3.99. I think i dropped a lot of Marvel when i finally let go of Bendis monthlies.

 

[BrightLightLava]

I liked his Adult Peter in Spider-Men. And I have liked his Iron Man so far. I just think that he's best suited to smaller solo books, but he keeps getting put on team books where his writing quirks become nearly overwhelming and everyone starts to sound the same.

But he wrote Ultimate Spider-Man, and that was nearly perfect.

[BrightLightLava]

I LOVED Spider-Men.

Comics have made me cry a handful of times, and I think Bendis has written almost all of them. Aunt May talking to Peter in Spider-Men was definitely one of those times.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Don't let your dreams be dreams. Look at Dan Slott.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

As much as I love Spider-Men... Its a much better Ultimate Spider-Man book as it is a Spider-Man book.
It may be a prime example for my Bendis loved his favorite characters much more argument.

 

[TetraxShards]

I don't see Battleborn bruh.

I'm not really excited for it. I like Borderlands well enough, but I just hate the humour and listening to it in a multiplayer game all the time without friends (since my friends will buy it, but drop it after beating the story) would cause me to grind my teeth to dust.

I might be in if a cheap key wanders my way.

 

[Messi]

The best hardcovers are Image 3 trade OHCs. East of West- Year One, Saga and even Aphrodite IX Complete. They are so sturdy and the binding is perfect. I hope Deadly Class gets a good one seeing as that is 3 trades.
