Zombeen, you play the final Walking Dead: Michonne episode or did you spend all day playing Ni-Oh?
I have spent all evening getting absolutely nowhere in Ni-Oh and I have been loving it. I'm sooooooo bad at Souls but I love them. Will play Michonne now.

I died like, five times right at the beginning of Ni-Oh. XD
Lemme know what you think of Michonne, I liked it a lot.

You beaten Dark Souls yet Freeza? I think I'm nearly there. It's been fun, I still haven't pulled my hair out yet.

Yeah, I finished it Friday night. I've still been poking around and cleaning up some odds and ends. Haven't beaten the optional boss though, fuck that guy. The camera is the bigger enemy in that fight. Probably won't start NG+ until after I finish the first DLC. Made that mistake with Bloodborne.

Sounds like I have that to look forward to.

We all should, really.
It's so good though! Tougher than Dark Souls III at the start that's for sure.
Speaking of Walking Dead, Kirkman confirmed that like Michonne, Episode 3 is going to take us right to where we are in the comic timeline. Teenage Clem inbound.
I read this as him saying he's done, clearly I interpreted it differently than everyone else.
There was supposed to be an OGN series, but nothing has been mentioned of that since SDCC last year.

I mean, he said he doesn't have any more "dream projects" left, but I wouldn't interpret that as him now stopping because of that.

I did and no thank you. From what I hear the guy has a history of giving up on his creator owned projects.

Beyond just the one book?
Okay, look. No one had any idea Upchurch was a psychopath. I think Rat Queens just never recovered from that one. It would have been fine if Sejic could have stayed on, but again, things didn't work out.

I'd never even heard of Pisces. Okay, so maybe the guy should just stick to limited series so he can get the story done before his ADHD kicks in.

He also never finished Peter Panzerfaust.

Hey! I've heard of that one!
How much are the first few issues worth these days? I have the first four or five.
Frank Cho has taken his dank memery to the next level (spoilered for possible NSFW, apols to mobileGAF):
in 2016.
I don't even mind.
Alien day is awesome!
Except when the face huggers latch onto your face for several hours. I've had a pain in my chest since it died.

It's easily the best of all the stories, and just a genuinely good Marvel story.
Also a good series, but they really aren't substitutes.
Bingo. Reading through Silent War, and it's kind of rough. It's hard to make you root for a society that not only doesn't get along with anyone else, choosing to be isolationist, but also can't get their own shit together.
I love the franchise, but I agree that they are hard to write for. They've definitely got the most varied storylines though. And the Royal Family is a very unique ensemble.
Lay one one side and put the book on the bed? It's how I read the JSA omniNo the problem is the weight and size. I like to read my comics lying on my bed or on a sofa. I like hardcovers, but omnibuses are usually just too big. 200-300 pages is ideal. 400 pages I can handle. Beyond that I would only do it for a new volume of A Song of Ice and Fire on release day.
Sick.
That's super rough.
It's my least favorite of the Mutant Enemy shows, honestly. It's good, but I think it was so overblown when I went to watch it. I'd easily watch BtVS, Angel, and AoS over it. Dollhouse as well, actually.
I originally watched Serenity not realizing that Firefly was connected to it at all. I love Serenity. Just not the show so much.

I mean in the sense that Marvel is now pushing Inhumans instead of X-Men because as far as the MCU goes, they can do fuck all without the X-Men film rights that FOX has.
BKatastrophe

I still don't think that's the case. If it was, then Marvel's been planning since War of Kings. Even then, I don't think they're substitutes at all. Inhumans are still far rarer than mutants and they have their own unique lore and storylines. They don't take anything away from the X-Men except for "people with powers pop up!" Even then, the Inhumans being ostracized and viewed as threats isn't something exclusive to these storylines that just popped up because of the perceived replacing of the X-Men. It's been a thing for a loooooong time.
That Walking Dead: Michonne finale...whew.
Here's to hoping that season 3 is just as good as that was.
I enjoyed watching Norma get eaten alive. The only person who ended up dying was the one shipmate that I knew jack shit about. No wonder Michonne was so fucked up when she came back to Rick on that ship though...

Yeah, I liked it a lot.

Is this sarcasm?

Are you saying "good job" while actually internally frowning at UDON?
UDON did a shit job and giving the writer a heads up might have been a good idea.
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 - fun issue with Doreen's mom showing up for a visit, a evil 40s hydra robot with a brain as a head also showing up, but they fix him and now he goes to school with them. Whut? This book is weird.
Art is still butt unfortunately. Yeah I said it!
Uncanny Inhumans #1 - Really liked this. Im so into Inhumans right now, wtf happened. Nuce introduction to why Beast and Johnny are in the book, Blackbolt walking in (actually flying in) on Medusa kissing Johnny was funny, especially with Medusa going "this is exactly what it looks like" ouch take that L Blackbolt. Speaking of BB, his time traveling antics searching for his son from Kang is also a nice thread. Book has me hooked in the best way. Awesome art too.

Say it all you want, doesn't make it true. Her art actively adds to the comedy.

I wouldn't put much stock into the opinions of an inhumans fan
Easy now, I like the inhumans it just happens that he likes the inferior inhumans book too.
I will always defend Eisner nominated artist Erica Henderson.
You really think her art doesn't add to the comedy? I don't really know what to say. She is the perfect artist for that book.

Kinda sorta maybe I guess, though I'd argue that the cover really has little to do with the narrative inside the book. As long as people keep falling for this shit and freaking out, Cho is going to keep drawing that pose. It's a war of attrition. Will Cho get tired of drawing it before people get tired of freaking out over it?
Thats the point. They hired Cho BECAUSE of that picture and controversy.

Can't wait to see the reactions to Cho's Wonder Woman variants when
they're beautifully detailed and tasteful, and not controversy fodder.

I really don't care how the people reacted. I think UDON should be better than that. But clearly they aren't, because this is very intentional. Also blindsiding your writer is just plain shit.
