Do we have more then this one picture of ScarJo?
Do you need more than one to see it's ScarJo in a terrible wig not looking anything like Kusanagi?

Oh ghost in the shell I was like wtf are you talking about
I have to admit, Ive never seen a manga or a anime where I thought that someone looks asian, so I dont have a big problem with this.
Playing up ethnic ambiguity would be fine if they changed her name from Motoko Kusanagi. I don't think ScarJo when I see or hear that name, you know?

Should have cast Emma Stone.
You stole my answer
But... I dunno. Of course its stupid, but I can twist my mind enought to make it work, maybe asian names are cool in the future or one of her forerunner was asian or something. I dont mind it that much but then again I am not really a big Fan of Ghost in th Shell.
All the more reason why it deserves a wide audience. On principle I can see why people would be against turning back the clock, but X-Men '92 fills a niche that the X-titles haven't really filled since 2005.
I love it if i'm being honest

You're right, it's surprisingly good. I wasn't crazy about the Secret Wars series but the new one's been fun so far.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I also have two issues to read. I'm gonna read mine tonight though so I can beat you. Because what is reading comics if not a giant race?
Did you read them yet?RepairmanJack

Is it weird I'm kind of low key excited for that Johnny Quest/Space Ghost comic? The rest of that reboot just seem weird where as this one seems like it could just be generally good.

Chris and Chad rule but that art. I haven't made it through the first issue yet.
I love the art because it is so expressive and vibrant, but I think if there is anything wrong with it, it's that it doesn't look like a 90s X-book the way the Secret Wars mini did.

I'm horrible with remembering creatives. I have no clue how people do it.

I've not read a comic book in nearly a week. This infection and root canal has fucked up my entire life. I am so God damn sick of it
Teeth were a mistake, we should have had beaks. Sorry messi.

Being out of continuity is actually a big selling point for me. Is it pretty much the same tone as the Secret Wars Tie In?

Yup
And the best X-book is Worst X-Man Ever. Which, by the way, did I miss something? I've only read the first issue. Are the other four available online and I just haven't bothered to check?

News from an unreliable source (BC) but it looks like DC might have cancelled Starman tpb 3 again...

Short write up with Gerard Way about Young Animal : http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/gerard-way-q-a-my-883788
(Don't think it's anything all that new, but I love that he cites Love & Rockets.)

Yep. It's less on the nose in its humour, but it still captures the same sense of fun that the SW mini ran with, while also trying to branch off into its own thing.
It's basically as close as we're going to get to another Claremont X-title.
That's incredibly annoying if it's true. I'd given up hope of them continuing it when they first cancelled the paperback versions a few years ago. To have them re-solicit recently and cancel again after that.........

Not much of a Cap reader but for other omnis I would recommend Superior Foes of Spider-Man. Great little series that's really funny.
The omnis are kinda overpriced but Hawkeye and the Frank Miller Daredevil stuff (DD, Companion, Elektra) are some of the best comics Marvel has put out.
That's lame.
I was like awesome time to get it digitally. Opened up Comixology. I already own all of it. Wat.

Read WW Earth One today and echo pretty much everyone here in saying it fantastic and Paquette drew the hell out of it. Sadly, I'll probably be in my 40s before we see another volume.

? I can count the only worthwhile books reading this week on one hand, but then again even for me that's a lot.
