read vol. 1 of It-Girl and the Atomics by Jamie Rich and Mike Norton last night - it's whatever. Mike Norton's stuff here is really unexciting and a bit dull, like the definition of serviceable, a shame 'cause that's not what i think when I look at Mike Allred characters (when Allred is drawing them). But the last issue in the TPB is a standalone issue featuring Mr. Gum from Red Rocket 7 and it's drawn by Chynna Clugston-Flores, who can make Allred-type stuff pop, which for some reason i wouldn't have originally thought. Basically, just get #6. And the old stuff.
sounds like a Star Wars book i'd be into!

I can see him to doing more stuff like The Crew.

The idiot with the Punisher shirt who went looking for the Cleveland shooter and livestreamed it.
People are projecting it onto whatever though.
Will black panther be at 24 issues by then. I would like to see him go to DC tbh

Sat and reread Invisible Republic vol 1 this evening to catch myself back up on the book before I read vol 2. It's a pretty cool book, about reporter in the present investigating the true story of a recently fallen regime and in the past a slowly brewing civil revolt on a colony moon ignited by a pair of escaped *indentured* citizens in the not so far future. I like that the world is appropriately sci-fi with restraint. It makes the most of it's world and premise to emphasise and enlarge it's themes and character arcs but it remains pretty grounded, it's feels like a cousin to Lazarus in terms of visual style and tone (though not nearly as dark) oppose to anything more outlandish. I wouldn't want it from every book, but it works here with the political-social minded themes, and the storytelling between the past and the present keeps the pacing snappy and plot moving.

I'd definitely like to see what he'd bring to some DC characters.
Dude almost certainly gravitates to Image if he stays in comics long-term tho.
Isn't he a Marvel head?
Guessing people thought he was talking the recent brawl between neonazis/alt and antifa
Long as he doesn't give up after working on a rough series

Hey now I will not hear anything about usAvengers not being good.
Anything that gives Aikku this much dialogue is inherently awesome.

Rob Williams man. I tried telling y'all.
Also I fucking cashed out on that flash Sale on The PlayStation store this weekend for my PS4. Uncharted Collection, Dishonored, Guacamelee, Metro Redux, Both Wolfenstein New Order and the DLC. First time for everything too.

Don't give up, dude. Did you try cheesing it and getting behind her? The tail is the weak spot. I had some trouble with her two but just ended up coming back later.

Awesome you got some great stuff in there. Dishonored and Wolfenstein are great places to be for a bit, I love BJ's narration lol. I enjoyed the Metro games too but haven't revisited them for a good while.
Did we have the full DC solicits yet btw?
DC solicits July 2017
Yep, but he only has deal with black panther atm. Anything could happen by time his run is up. Marvel might want someone new in time for the movie

Boooooo. I have never summoned anyone for help with SoulsBorne bosses. But seriously, if Amygdala is giving him trouble, oh lordy he's gonna have fun with Ludwig. I must have fought him like 50 times, then the first time I summon an NPC I get him.
Stop posting these pls. Everytime new solicits come out Messi sends me these long-ass lists of comic titles for some reason. Maybe he should send them to Sillymonkey.
But man, even the statues were a disappointment this month.
Ready for this Doctor Aphra and Star Wars crossover event, the last one with Darth Vader was pretty cool. Especially since that Yoda arc wasn't the greatest, not a fan of the stories that are way out there and don't even feel Star War-ish, like the Yoda one.
Freeza can I send the June list now??

Hmm. Get this in July or wait for Absolute Authority to read the new story.
Bronze Age Swamp Thing Omnibus looks interesting too.

also, Christos Gage worked on the Buffy/Angel comics. His stuff is really good.
I think the craziest news is Neela is coming back in that Faith and the Future Force book.

Aw, fucking, yissss. Make sure you read Abe and then Cometh The Hour. So good though. Rumble vol 3 is really great too. Basically a fucking goldmine order there, I read a lot of these lately.

Bendis is like anyone: sometimes he's great and sometimes he's terrible. Sometimes he's in the middle. He has enough that he can be both praised and hated. Daredevil, Alias, All-New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Jessica Jones, and Infamous Iron Man are all fantastic. Moon Knight and Scarlet (his indie series) are both decent. His New Avengers, Invincible Iron Man, and Ultimate Spider-Man stuff gets praise. International Iron man was okay (I bailed part of the way in because I felt like it was going nowhere). His Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ultimate End (Secret Wars tie-in) all get a lot of flak. He also has done a lot of events, few of which (if any) are viewed favorably.
His biggest issues are in his dialogue and pacing. Both of which are intertwined to the point where it feels like he uses his style of writing dialogue, which I feel flows naturally (most of the time) and I actually like, to pad out issues and waste space. He has a tendency to meander in the beginning and/or waiver in the end. The former far more than the latter. His dialogue can also be damaging because he has a hard time differentiating voices between the characters, which causes his ensemble books to suffer. This reason alone is why his solo books tend to be stronger.
Bendis' other big problem is how difficult it is for him to operate outside of his own personal continuity, which is why his smaller, street-level stuff is so much better than his larger scale stuff (like his events).

Bendis has written *a lot* of really really good comics. He's also written a lot of pretty bland and meh comics. Despite the amount of hate you might have come across for his work, he's actually very popular. He'll get more hate in part because Marvel hires him over and over again for high profile books regardless if he's a good fit or if he's really engaged in the property and that tends to magnify his shortcomings.
Yeah, gonna knock those off first since I've been waiting for the ending to those for years now. All the others can wait their turn.
Well that's an advanced solicit. That isn't out until the end of August.

Oh ok, hadn't noticed that. Absolute Authority is coming out in October though. So my dilemma still holds I guess.
Avengers vs Xmen was bleh, and Civil War 2 was.... something, but I enjoyed the first few volumes of ultimate spiderman (that was ages ago through), and the first tradeback of current Miles Morales run, so I can probably already see that Bendis is better at solo run/street level heh.
If it was me I'd wait because absolutes are amazing and you get a new story you know you want to read.

This is the start of the volume after Superior Spider-Man and before the latest one:

happy for you man. This is a great year for Omnibus and Hardcover collectors.
Preacher comes out next month, and coming from a Christian family my people are going to freak out over this. sigh. wish they went with the placeholder cover instead.

Mosaic and Green Gun Guy were added to MU today. Comics can be trash sometimes.

Actually looking for what comes before this, everything after Superior Spider-man is alot easier to follow than what comes before lol. Basically when does Slot take over as the sole write on ASM?

Plus, if you've made it this far with Abe, I assume you've dug the run. Allie's the new BPRD writer, which is probably the best alternative to Arcudi these days on terms of knowing the characters and the world. I feel pumped knowing your gonna read it haha it's almost as good as reading it myself.
Why is Midnighter 4 ft tall in that art?
