BK, this is not a fight you can win. It's only one the rest of us can lose.
Pls yield.

He wrote the one shot today called Harley and the Suicide Squad - April fools edition
Oh yeah, I'd heard about that issue. I didn't know it was out. Jim Lee drew it, right?
I'm glad to hear it's good.
He drew part of it, the entire issue is beautiful
from the preview, the first two pages

I've always said that Kindt is better at characterization with Colin than he is with actually writing a good story around him. I mean, they've not been bad, but they haven't had much weight. Siege of King's Castle really changes that around. It feels like a culmination of all of Colin's arrogance that basically started from the point where he didn't kill Roku when he had the chance in the first issue. It's really just great comics. I'm eager to hear what you think of it when you get there.

Just got the first paperback volume of Wicked + Divine in a local bookshop for a tenner. Guess I won't be getting the Hardcover just yet so.
I have so many comics arriving tomorrow/friday

Just get the trades man, big bang charges 10 for all first volumes of image 15 for every other volume so its not a bad deal.

Real talk, I think Tom King might be too good at comics. Vision and Sheriff of Babylon hit today, so wildly different and so utterly excellent.
Does it have a digital code?
I have been very curious of Babylon. Whats it about?
WOW. Man, Jim Lee is such a beast.

It's... kind of a murder mystery set in the Green Zone in Baghdad circa 2003. Main characters are a former police officer turned PMC training the new Iraqi police force, the last remnant of the old Iraqi police force, and an Iraqi exile who's returned to her home country with very, very big plans. This issue was just one long, increasingly drunken conversation, and it was so, so good.

Why is it that every FF book I attempt to read is more boring than I feel it should be? I got back to the Inhuman/FF crossover trade, and the FF half is so boring. Maybe it's because they opened with the part I was primarily interested in.

FF is great in the right hands but so easy to fuck up.
Waid is still the best FF writer for me, better than Hickman, though both were great on that book.

What's the word on Tomasi's Superman? Superleague and Great Ten sounds like a fun time.

Superman 51 was a good time, so I'm hopeful for Superleague.

I feel like the FF is Marvel's Superman, in that the mainstream image of them is that they're really boring, but in reality they have a ton of good stories. I just haven't read those stories yet. Well, aside from the issue where they fuck shit up in the Watcher's Citadel whilst fighting Doom.
