$15 is a fucking steal. Damn. Id get it but i have most MP in digital.Got this in just now.
Bought it since I've heard pretty good things and it was on sale for only $14.99 on Amazon. Now I just need to get volume 1.
Man I love dust-jacketless covers.
Just thinking about how well MP is colored and how well Bellaire uses textures and Im reminded again by Bachalos subpar color work and now Im mildly angry.

My store failed me. They didn't have Velocity.

"I see," said the blind man. Interesting, guess I'll find out in 4-5 months.

Ultimates was cool. i thought I would miss Rockafort more than I did. I love me New Galactus.
Hellcat continues to be a dang delight. Anyone that like Squirrel Girl that hasn't checked it out should give it a change. As should people that wanted to like Squirrel Girl but got turned off by the art. I'm not trying to start that fight again, but Brittney Williams is probably a lot less divisive than Erica Henderson.
Not a theater-goer?

Yeah that helps a lot. I'll definitely give Hellcat a read when it hits MU.
I don't love it, but I like it.
Meh. I'm done defending. Just gonna read the books I enjoy and leave it at that.

That URL, tho.
yeah, apparently in the hardcover Morrison actually explained what the heck is going on plot-wise in a way that's not readily apparent in the actual pages of the comic. I don't usually find myself lost in Morrison comics but I will say that I found Nameless pretty confusing. in retrospect it feels like a more extreme version of what he was going for in Final Crisis, where he's trying more than anything to communicate a visceral feeling of something rather than any kind of traditional narrative

What if Capcom wanted this?
I have no doubt that they did. They are equally at fault imo.

Huh. I'll have to give it a look and see how bad the damage is.
Yeah, I expected it to be bizarre going in because it's Grant Morrison. But all in all, I really liked Nameless. It felt like Lovecraftian science-fiction to me. I won't say I really got the ending, but it was a fun ride.
I love Monstress. I don't know how I would feel about it without Sana Takeda on art, but it's a really interesting world they created. If you don't like keeping up with ongoings, you could always just trade-wait. The first Monstress trade comes out in July.
Yeah, I assumed the new one was the one I'd never seen before. It looks like they grabbed somebody fresh out of art school and handed them a new copy of photoshop.
I'm sure this isn't the first time you've said this.
Same here. They're really on the ball sometimes.

I'm sure they did. He created an icon out of objectification.
As crazy as it is to imagine a game company might have a passing interest in objectifying female characters, it just may have happened like that this time.
I am as shocked as you are.

Reading Secret Avengers v2 by Nick Spencer, i've a question:
Has Mariah Hill ever been interesting?
Aside from that, Nick Spencer doesn't get enuff respect.

Like All Star Superman before it, it's mystifying to me when they take an incredibly singular visual style and hack it down into the DCAU style. I watched some little promo video and they did this fade between original panels and shots from the movie and I loled bad.

He might as well finish out this arc in monthlies though since the last issue comes out next month.

Maria Hill? Yes. There was a time. I think. Around Dark Reign when SHIELD was taken over by Norman Osborn's HAMMER and she no longer had a job.

She's kind of in a tough spot. Story wise, she's almost always there to oppose the characters that we're rooting for, so it's easy to not like her. She's like Skyler White to the entire Marvel Universe.
I like when Cobie Smulder's plays her.
It seems pretty obvious he's joking. The whole article from an opinion standpoint is incredibly exaggerated.
But it looks nothing like Bolland's art, so what's the point?
If you're gonna use the generic DCAU style then just make up your own Batman/Joker story.

Cho. Cho is pathetic. The article is brilliant.
(Not Amadeus Cho, though. He's the best.)
Oooh, okay. I assumed you were talking about the article since that's what you had quoted. Carry on.

Isn't this just giving Cho exactly what he wants? I don't see him stopping this stuff as long as the people who keep commissioning him think it's gonna get a rise out the "sjws".

I see. Should get around to reading DR some day.
She's usually acting as some sort of Female Nick Fury. That shouldn't be a role someone hates.
I mean, DC pulls it off well with Amanda Waller. Hill just... Well, yeah, Hill is quite reminiscent of Skyler, only... Skyler was opposing a control freak monster who was wrong. Hill tends to oppose a control freak monster that has a nasty habit of being correct. (Until fury "died", then steve fucked up with gusto left and right)

Not really. Very rare situation where I consider a movie a must-see. Last two theater visits were fairly recent with The Force Awakens and Deadpool. Couldn't even tell you before that.
Hard to coordinate that stuff with our work schedules and kid running around, so we almost always default to home viewing.

I bought the entire collection on Comixology back when they were doing the $1 per issue deal a year or two ago. I really need to sit down and read through the entire thing.

It's probably the best take there is on the teen superhero comic. Because the character doesn't stay that way. You watch him grow into an adult throughout all of the superhero antics.
