COMICS! |OT| August 2015. Overwhelming.

Absolutely agreed.

In the first part of his CBR interview for Tokyo Ghost today he mentioned his wife had "gone back to England."

I'm assuming she's actually British? That would explain him writing the best Psylocke.
I've never been a fan of Psylocke, but I did enjoy her character arc. In fact, all the characters were good.

Now if only someone could do something for Gambit... (he says as he waits for his Bendis/Maleev Gambit solo series)

Who is stronger Jean or Emma. Taking out the Phoenix.

It seems like they are positioning young Jean to be more powerful than Emma

Jean is a prodigy, but minus the Pheinix, Emma would probably wipe the floor with her. The cuckoos can already put her in her place.

This is a pretty barren week for me, so I started reading Knightfall. Holy shit, these are bigger than I thought - in the CMX sale I got like 1900 pages of comics for £9.

First volume has aged pretty well so far. It's a bit melodramatic obviously, but mostly in the exposition captions. Also the first trade is a bit odd in that it really feels like there's a few tie in issues that should have been included - multiple references are made to
Killer Croc getting his ass kicked by Bane
, but that issue isn't included.

But wasnt this Young Jean? Older Jean would likely far more powerful.

Young Jean is nowhere near full power yet. Emma is teaching her. Near the end of all new Emma shuts down jeans mind abilities for training and then tells her she will teach her how to block it.

Looking forward to seeing how Lemire handles her, she's by far the most annoying of the O5 when Bendis writes her.

I love how totally inconsiderate she is.

Why does everyone find Bobby annoying. Bobby is really funny to me. I love that page with Eva giving him his room at the base.

She's exactly what I'd expect a teen telepath to be like, absolutely zero boundaries. Bobby is awesome, he's my favourite of the 5. So much fun when he's around especially when they join up with Scott.

Lemire said he loves her, if you can believe that. I thought she was sympathetic, but almost equally detestable. Still not caught up on ANX though.

Bob's always great. Dunno how you could like him. Better jokester than Parker, too.

I love Jean also. But recognize she is very bad and immature in some ways.

Bobby is hated by both sides when they go to the ultimate universe and it bummed me out :(

He's honestly the best of the Marvel jokers, I think. Human Torch is a jockstrap, period. Peter quips as a coping mechanism; Bobby has personal turmoil, but he jokes to joke, not to survive and ordeal.

I'd read a Bobby and Deadpool team up book. Hawkeye vs Deadpool was good so something like that.

Actually, top jokester is Madrox. Don't know how I forgot him. Incredibly well-realized character on the whole. Just stunning work by PAD.

It's hentai right? not got round to reading it yet

When you read it you will see the focus is not on the nudity but the relationships. Most people buy it for the nudity and stay for the characters. He writes such wonderful characters and then he breaks their hearts.

I'm joshing I've read a little the titillation seemed secondary to the characters which is cool.

Rumor has it that Extraordinary X-Men had a different premise in its early planning phase. Keep in mind, this is Bleeding Cool we're talking about, so take it with a grain of salt.

It bothers me that Ramos is the artist for this. Do all the X books have to look like shit? Can a brother not get a Noto, Coipel, Bachalo or Opeña? Gotta get stuck with Land and Ramos. Say what you want about All New X-men and Uncanny but the art was on point.

Very much so. You should give it a read. It's hard to put down when you start.

It's on my wishlist now so I'll buy when I have less of a backlog, so sometime around November.

The art was stellar for all of Uncanny and All New X-men.

A new Bachalo X-Men would defintely make me hype.

Him and Aaron were a good team during their Wolverine & the X-Men run.

And GAMEPROFF, sent you a pm with the code :)

Uncanny even had Frazier Irving doing art for the book. I'll be surprised if the two new books are as good as All New and Uncanny have been. #600 is out the week of my birthday so hyped for that.

Is there any way to gift anything less than a year of Marvel Unlimited? That's the only option I can find. Ideally I'd like to gift three months or so.
 

Kipp

but I am taking tiny steps forward
I was supposed to get a lot of comics reading done yesterday... but then I got called into work and that got screwed up. Maybe I'll read comics today.

I just opted into my company's optional deferred comp plan and I didn't bother reading the funds I invested in. Guess I should really read into it.

Well regardless of what the investments were, just know they dropped in value significantly on Monday. :D
Investments are all about the long game though, so they'll be back to where they were soon enough and you'll be just fine.

And it's very likely that the deferred comp plan puts your money in pretty safe index funds, so it shouldn't be anything you need to worry about at all.

My secondary account looks like Lemire's depiction of the Red Kingdom. The numbers are giving me similar nightmares too. -_-

And I haven't even looked in my 401k account...
