That's my motto coincidentally enough, brah.

 

[TetraxShards]

Multiversity was quite good, wasn't it?

 

[Jetman]

Who is doing the interiors on Multiversity? It's supposed to be Ivan Reis, but the previews I've seen don't look like it.

 

[Mafro]

The end of New Avengers #23 wow.

ugh work needs to be over already

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Multiversity is out today but I lost two of my favorite Marvel ongoings

 

[Hagi]

I know you guys will all be about Multiversity today but did anyone pick up The Fade Out? Really looking forward to Brubaker and Phillips new joint.

Also the with the talk of possible cancellation of Secret Avengers on the horizon i thought this weeks summary for the issue was pretty funny.

Secret Avengers (2014-) #7
Deadpool Deadpool Deadpool Deadpool Deadpool! We heard that Deadpool raises sales so we're doing this early on. Just kidding. All about the art. The noose tightens! Secret avengers are being hunted! Maria Hill, investigating!

 

[GrandHarrier]

Yo, if there is one thing Morrison has no trouble expressing it is his fucking love for comic books.

That's my motto coincidentally enough, brah.

Brahs don't find a way. Brahs make a way.

A hot toy is being charged today. I am dead.

Hold the fuck up. Where was this talk?

Just think when you're homeless the only comics you'll be reading will be in The Sun.

Hold the fuck up. Where was this talk?

Few pages back there was some sales talk. Nothing official though! so keep on holding that hope.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Hold the fuck up. Where was this talk?

We were looking at sales #s after Marvel confirmed New Warriors and Superior Foes are ending. Secret Avengers is pretty low, but who knows.

 

[LProtag]

I've gotten through the first bit of Annihilation and I'm coming up on Conquest now.

Really enjoying it so far. Excited to start getting into the GotG stuff.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Hold the fuck up. Where was this talk?

It is selling very close to the same numbers as New Warriors and Foes, so it could be in danger.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I'll pray for Secret Avengers. You guys don't deserve that.

 

[Hagi]

Anyone have any good links for how much money is used to launch an ongoing? would be interesting to see how much funny books cost to create. I've never really delved into the business side of the industry.

 

[FoneBone]

moment of the forever

Also glad that, in spite of what the cover might suggest, Morrison didn't try to turn Captain Carrot "dark".

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Aside from Multiversity's absolute greatness, I just got around to reading the new Ms. Marvel issue and I really, really liked this book too. The fact this issue had my favorite Wolverine in ages helped a lot but beyond that, I think the series itself is pretty special as I can't think of a book that has the same tone.

Yeah, this is me gushing over the fact that on the whole and despite appearances, this industry feels way more creative than it was 10 years ago, let alone 20. And I'm just talking super heroes here.

Couldn't possibly agree more. Comics are the raddest.

No, it was. Seemed classic Reis to me.

[slightconfuse]

Jealous of All you new avenger and multiversity people. Can't hit the shop till later

 

[tim1138]

I've already read Multiversity twice today, it feels good to have a new Grant Morrison comic to read. Even after just one issue you can already tell this is his magnum opus and ultimate love letter to super hero comics. Everyone who posts here should be reading this book. And man, what I wouldn't give for a Justice League of Earth-23 monthly title.

 

[TetraxShards]

Truly, a fate worse than death.

I want a Captain Carrot ongoing.

Keith Giffen nearly ruined him by turning him into a Rocket Raccoon knockoff.

I don't think it's for me, I flicked through it at the store and I didn't find the art visually appealing. Also i am worried i wont understand it as it is Grant Morrison.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Truly, a fate worse than death.

Don't worry, the Anti-Death Equation will keep returning you to the status quo, regardless of how many tragedies you suffer. Perfect zombies for our reading pleasure.

 

[Owzers]

Sigh.....maybe don't spoil the "moment of forever" the day the book is released? Your moment of forever will be my " this is the thing gaf posted two days before i read the book"

You guys disappoint me

Damn, that moment with Black Bolt on the Moon in NA #23

Manly tears rolling down my cheek ;_;

I swear one of these panels mirrored the awesomeness of Superman shouting "Warn everyone, like Paul Revere!" while he's trying to plug the hole in forever or some shit.

It'd be nice if they'd either edit it to a link to the image or have a mod remove it. Totally agree with you.

 

[Lombaszko]

Last variant!

Spoiler

Thanks, Messi

 

[KoruptData]

I don't know what happened. I guess it started when I reread Arkham Asylum and loved it. Then I read almost all of Final Crisis in 2 days and read Action Comics #9. Grant Morrison is clicking with me finally. It's fun to read. I just read Multiversity and fucking loved it. I tried my hardest over the last few weeks todo my homework and it payed off because that was awesome. It played out like one big motion picture in my head and that's when you know you are immersed into a comic. When your brain starts putting you into the panels. You almost feel like your in the pages. That's is what was accomplished and it was a blast.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

The end of New Avengers #23 wow.

I was fine with Namor's behavior up until now, but this?

Plagiarism?

Just how low have you fallen, prince of the sea?

Tee hee

Last one!

But there are two in the picture

Great news!

I think there's a huge misunderstanding about Morrison's work where people who aren't into it get the impression it's super high brow, pedantic or too intellectual. Morrison fans probably have contributed to it but when you approach his stuff simply, you realize it's mostly a guy having fun and in love with a medium.

He doesn't write about ridiculous stuff like cowboys hunting giant spiders, baby sun eaters, interdimensional vampires, dark gods, anti-life equations, cosmic graveyards or archetypical word machines because he likes the smell of his own farts but because these are fun ideas he likes to play with and that put the Super back in super heroes.

I genuinely believe he's the closest thing we have to Kirby and the least cynical of comic writers.

 

[dan2026]

Morrison is probably the best thing to happen to modern comics.

He is a fountain of fun creativity. And his joy for the mediun echoes out of every page of hus work.

 

[frye]

This probably is gonna sound really pedantic but while I love Morrison, Morrison isn't Kirby. Morrison doesn't draw his own comics.

also the end of Batman Inc was cynical as all hell and it was dope

Morrison does occasionally draw comics.

 

[dan2026]

Morrison does occasionally draw comics.

I read somewhere once that Morrison actually sketches out all of his comics in rough draft as well as scripting them. Not sure how true that is.

Also New Avengers....Oh Namor, what have you done?

 

[frye]

Morrison does occasionally draw comics.

Sure, but he doesn't draw the comics you read and love.

The Wicked + The Divine #3 - Amazing, yet again!

Aaaargh.

So tempted. Love Kieron Gillen. Wasn't a huge fan of Phonogram (I knew some, but not enough of, the Britpop references to get through the dialogue written like no-one on Earth speaks), though. Good/better than that?

(still need to buy Three, actually. I could pretend it's for work, I do teach a bit about the helots in our Sparta module...)

 

[Lombaszko]

Sweet!

My comment was mostly about the creative drive and imagination. Obviously, Kirby happened to be an awesome artist on top of that.

I went into Wicked plus Divine without having read anything else that they've done and I've enjoyed it and this is coming from your straight DC capes reader, so.

Seconded, it's great.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Wicked + Divine has an actual plot, with last page cliffhangers and everything, so its different from Phonogram in that regard
