I can't remember half the stuff they announce. I just found out today that Chewbacca has an ongoing with Noto on art and Gerry Duggan writing coming out the week after my birthday. Shattered Empire comes out in two weeks!
I love comics.

God damned Adventures of Not-Kratos description was too damn accurate.

Read Rumble vol 1 and Sex Crims vol 2 last night.
Rumble was sooooo good. Acurdi and Harren were on point but goddamn Stewart was beasting on colors. It was tons of fun. Not a typical story. Harren's cartooning is phenom. He might be the very best at creating motion in American comics
Sex Crims was a downer, especially in comparison to Rumble. Its basically what happens after the initial rush of being in a new relationship. The writing is still pitch perfect. It's a great and logical turn for the story. Sex Crims may be about stopping time with orgasms but its very very human.
The narrative never stops being good but honestly, the emotional climax for it didnt really hit me like I thought it should have. Mostly because I think Chip's art couldnt deliver a very heavy emotional moment the way he can draw really funny convos between characters. He did have on very excellent page that impressed me. Overall, its still great but Chip needs to work on his craft if he needs to deliver more than dick jokes.
No problem!
just to be clear, the art is not mine, I just made the avatar out of the art.
I give most of them a random 6/10 & would rather see them on MU

Glad you liked it! Everyone talks about the art on this series and while it is truly amazing the writing is top notch too. Every chapter spins it in some new direction, deeper into the lore behind the narrative, always bringing something totally new and unexpected to the table without upsetting the pieces already in play. One might even call the first issue a little vapid for how little it gives away; it's amazing how invested one becomes by the end. This book is a hell of a gem and everyone should check it out.
Yeah she looks cool I was glad to hear that book primarily revolves around Shara Bey and her husband. They could have just done something with the main cast (if they were allowed) but new characters for new stories is always a bonus and the direction I would like the comics to go in the future.

While reading Carnage U.S.A., many thoughts cross one's mind. Thoughts such as "this is the best bad art i've seen in a while", "that's a runner up for worst Ben Grimm design ever", "who thought it would be a good idea to give cletus kasady bionic legs", and, chief amongst them "how in the name of fuck did an editor okay two double amputees maiming themselves in a fight as the finale?".

Despite Disney deep-sixing all existing Star Wars chronology outside of the films, it does have me looking forward to all of the new stories they can tell now. I kind of wish they at least kept Mara Jade and the Solo kids around, but I don't expect Disney wants to have to pay the creators of existing characters.
lol that sounds cool

Yes you were. And I applaud you for that.
All right, thanks for the heads up. I'll pass on it then.
Tizoc mentioned I should check it out and I said this:
"I remember checking it out a while back. It doesn't have the same appeal to me as Lil Gotham. The great thing about Lil Gotham is that it's an all ages book but still has just as much (or, more, actually) appeal to older readers. Tiny Titans is pretty much a straight-up kids comic. There's nothing wrong with that, it just isn't really as enjoyable for me."
Buuuut with you guys telling me to read it too, I think I'll check it out again. I didn't read very much of it the first time around.
Edit: Yeah, just re-read the first issue that I got for free from Comixology at one point. I still stand by that quote. It's super cute and all, but it doesn't have the depth to it that Li'l Gotham has that makes it so enjoyable for me. Sorry guys
I disagree. It's got tons of inside references to past events and quotes and puns that only older readers would get.

There's always something interesting on Simonson's facebook page. And his dog is named Loki.

I've always considered that any excessively verbose first ish can be skimmed over. If the writer cared about all of those details, he'd have bothered to integrate them properly into the tale. Get the fuck outta here with exposition infodumps.
Also that is one of Ewing's new books.

So, you're saying I should shill more?
You definitely are, make no mistake. I didn't even let more than a fifth of the spider porn load and I'm scarred for life.
Some books can's be judged by their first issue, one must push through and read on to eventually appreciate a book.
I'll keep trying to get into Low but lawd the first pages have way too much dialog that I don't care about :/
Also wtf is this
I added them to my DCBS order last minute. It just looks like it could be a fun book. Plus
ultimate Reed as the villain?

They moved up my list after reading CBR interview with the writer. It does sound fun.

I really hope Wiccan's characterization is better than his design, because he (and everyone else) looks terrible.

It's a shame we can't get the casts of the runaways, young avengers and avengers academy back in their books again.
Reading the 2004 run of She-Hulk and why is it that with regular Hulk, him and Banner are basically two separate people, who sometimes even hate each other, but with She-Hulk it's one person fully in control of a powered up form? Do they explain that somewhere in the Marvel continuity?
We could get Runaways without Nico.
Man, I'm really liking Wolf, you guys. His relationship with the little girl
is funny already. As long as William S. Burroughs doesn't show up this is shaping up to be one of Kot's best. Great use of colour, that's to be expected from the art team of course.

That New Avengers art looks so friggin' 90s. This one even moreso:
I missed this. Why can't we have this?

I'd be more than happy with the current SW tie-in cast getting their own book.
Kate is a duo act with Clint, everyone sans the twins is doing nothing, I assume the Runaways can happen but no Nico and Academy, well, none of them really matter anymore sans Tiger and maybe Hazmat.

Real answer: because dear god the PMS jokes a buncha dicks would use if Shulkie went all hruwhahshraaaageeee all the time. Plus we already got rage hulk with banner, and evil rage hulk with abomination. No point in just making her a female rage hulk.
Dude, you read ninjak.
Not at all, I think it looks pretty cool myself. Book is definitely on my want list, if I had a list that is. I should actually make a list.

Someone colored Samnee's Batwoman Question sketch from a few months back. They did a great job.
Why can't we have this book. It would be perfect. Imagine. Rucka and Samnee
In my dreams...

I'd read this, I'm sure it would be better than Batwoman in space at least.

oh odd, I would have bet you would have if you liked Sandoval. Theres no reason you can't enjoy any style of art. Each has their own appeal to each person. Cartooning can be as weird or oddly proportioned as it wants as long as it follows its own rules.
