What was/is this from? It looks like its from his Guardians book during Infinity, but it says its a preview?

I wanted to give this a second shot with it's second issue, but it's still just as dumb and empty. It feels like Image got conned into publishing a sketchbook that Corey Lewis threw some generic cliché stories onto to pass it off as an anthology.

Most likely the current Guardian issue since the Guardians are stuck on earth right now

Is he still writing Guardians lol?
Been debating picking up his Guardians of the Galaxy Omnibus, but I hear it gets really bad after the first few issues.
Better of waiting for the relaunch or read DNA's run

Don't bother. Art is good but the writing is dull as hell. I legit bought an issue twice because I forgot I read it. Nothing happens and no one has their own voice. It's aggressively boring.

LOL. I would read it too!
Cheers for that! I'll probably read at least 5 or 6 then, that should be enough to make my mind up.
It's bad throughout with fantastic art. Bendis gets the best artists.
Wada commission. His love of Roman knows no bounds lol
This would be the first three volumes
Volume 1 is chapters 1-7
Volume 2 is chapters 8-17
Volume 3 is chapters 18-26

Is Seth Rollins wearing a belly shirt? Is this what happens to people who are into crossfit?
I've no doubt somebody asked for that. Wada recently said on twitter people were chanting 'fuck Reigns' and he said "I'm trying" lol

This past Monday night on RAW, the crowd was fucking vicious. The chants transitioned from "Roman Sucks" to "Asshole" to "Go Away" to "Fuck you, Roman."
I'm gonna see if I can grab it today. I couldn't find it at the Target I went to earlier in the week when I picked up Rogue One.

By dollars or number of issues
Marvel made money but DC made more sales.

When Deadpool did the $10 issues it really hurt long term sales. Maybe people love Spidey so much this won't be the case here.
What's the deal with Justice League?
Someone needs to repost the dialouges 😂

I would probably go on a whole rant, but I honestly can't say with total accuracy because I haven't read since issue 3. I don't think many have said it's gotten any better though. It's bad and Hitch is bad.

It's not just the dialogue, he also has a team book and 90% of the time has no clue what to do with half of the team so has them occupied with random shit half the time. The stories are also basically shitty amalgamations of recent sci-fi stories just changed a bit and applied to super heroes. He also tries to play with confusing timelines like Priest does on Deathstroke only there is no defining breaks like Priest uses so shit just ends up confusing and seeming disjointed. I've also read pretty common complaints that nothing he writes seems to end, it just seems to go away with it obviously being left to come up later. I think he has like 4 big conflicts in the book with nothing really concluding.
Shit's just bad. That's not even talking about how from the beginning it was obvious that none of this was new and it was all just his ideas for his JL book he had during DC You because at the start none of the characters made sense and Arthur and Diana both had their weapons they got from that story.
It's just all a combination of shit. I just want a good JL book.
Fuck, one of the recent stories was a damn app on an ipad going rogue and becoming a big bad.
I read the second issue and it's more of the same. So nah, it ain't getting better.
Ms. Marvel is doing a story similar to that, except it's actually good.

Didn't Batgirl do something like that as a story arc at one point?
lmao
I hoped it would never end too.

Does it ever get referred to as a Killer App because I'm pretty sure Hitch makes that joke.
It's a rogue computer virus in Ms. Marvel. I would also say it's probably the best villain Kamala has had so far.

Nice.
Not one ComicGAF mention. Didn't even mention the lovely Ops.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I wasn't feeling X-Men Gold at all. Nothing about it is clicking with me. The writing, the art, the team roster. Nothing.
Iron Fist #2 is actually pretty decent. Enjoying that series more than I expected. It's kinda washing the taste of the show out of my mouth.

Ruthless.
Volume 4 of Black Science was fucking magnificent. It's not a reboot but the book manages to wipe the slate clean to a pretty large extent with this storyline. It takes the things that worked about the lead character, embraces all the flaws and mistakes made with the main character over the years and pretty much manages to have its cake and eat it. There's been a few times throughout reading Black Science where I thought Mmmm, I get what he's doing with McKay, but I kinda of feel like I'm being fed an Aidan Pierce a little bit. An asshole who deserves none of my sympathy, but the narrative seems to want me to empathise and understand his flaws when it's not been earned. Godworld feels like it was written with laser precision and focus to solve this dissonance, and it doesn't cheat at all while it does so. Instead of rewriting or sidestepping the issue, it completely absorbs it and comes out the other side bursting with energy and a brand new mission statement. Very impressed.
