First panel is fine, he's got some big-ish lips but well within the realm of possibility.
That last one, tho... Man got a collagen injection or something.

still dk how those lips made it past... any stage
my only exposure to this book was the first issue, which i found okay but i wasn't into how Frank was this Cool Dude. Black Widow i wasn't jazzed on either and wasn't sure why all these characters needed Pizza Dog style pets but I was impressed with the art. Lot of those Marvel Now books had great art with bland writing
I've never read anything by Alex De Campi but i listened to her recent interview on War Rocket Ajax and it sounds like Black Widow would be up her alley
That fav/silence can mean a few things, to be fair. I don't know if that alone is enough to make any call

It's kinda sad what Edmonson did with the character because sure, Ennis's version isn't some edict from god, but Frank avoiding becoming a role model and having something akin to a social life like the fucking plague because he knows how easily what he does can go awry has been a part of the character for decades.
As has been his awareness of the futility of his work.

Man these Quantum & Woody webcomics were hilarious
The officer stone stuff is fucked up and mirrors issues actual police officers are having. Shooting someone in the back then saying "Damn thugs"....

New 52 Animal Man #7-#19 (and Swamp Thing): It was great and I was really getting into it. Constantine and Swamp Thing felt like they fit in perfectly and I was excited to read more. The atmosphere was built brilliantly and gave me the same kind of creepy feeling that Fallen did.
But then Snyder joined in and the whole tone changed. It turned into some DC Zombies Event. Something rather pedestrian. Thankfully that didn't last long and the end jumped right back to what Lemire alone was writing. Hopefully the 4th and 5th trades go back to the quality of the 1st and 2nd trades and we get a good wrap-up.

Finished Castlevania SOTN. I'm back baby. I feel like Kipp but instead about comics it's games. This year has been an all time low for games completed. I'm only at 8! With most done in the last month or so.
Rotworld was such a shame. Both series were great and building towards this great event and when they combined forces it just fizzled out to nothing.

I think ANAD ANXM is my least anticipated X-book. Hell, I think I'm more interested in Greg Land Uncanny with Mystique and Sabretooth on the team.

Greg Land is just an unfortunate circumstance. I really can't say no to the new Uncanny roster.

Future Imperfect has been good in story and art. Have you read that?

Was this a known Famous Event along the lines of Civil War and Age of Ultron? We should have a Warning section in the OP.
Frankenstein wears a Green Lantern ring, so awesome! Zombie Justice League, so awesome!

JC doesn't read comics, he only watches anime
I'm going to give Hopeless the benefit of the doubt though it certainly isn't my most anticipated X-book either.
I kinda liked that because he one of the few writers that can write Apocalypse in any shape or form at this point.

I'm gonna buy all of the ANAD X-Men books for a few issues. The Lemire/Ramos one is somehow the one with the most potential. Man...
It's pretty funny though how she goes from this super special character to being kept alive and implanted in a computer.
Also what no Jean Grey in the new series?
She was pretty damn unlikeable.

Hope was wronged! Forget Ana Maria Messi. This is the character you should feel bad for. A plot device moved around for years and years. Building up to be important moment. Then AvX showed up and Marvel went lol NOPE here's the Pheonix five instead. 
Even Birds of Prey Land?

I mean she still reversed all that shit at the end with Scarlet Witch...but then after that she fell into the Doomsday problem. A plot device disguised as a character served their purpose, so what do you do now? Put her in a fuckin coma I guess til somebody can think of something.

The Swamp Thing stuff in Rotworld starts off good and then grows to be enjoyably dumb. The Animal Man-only stuff is just bad.

Bane recovered....eventually.
I think Bendis's love of young Jean pushed out restart redhead Hope.
Didn't you say Cullen Bunn was a good writer though?
I'd rather have young Jean than a character that was clearly designed to be Not-Jean.

Why would they ever get rid of those sweet Immonen redesigns. Baffling.
Well, they're all by Ostrander/Yale, except Checkmate. Ostrander/Yale ran their own little events through the books they wrote, and then eventually did a huge event with Checkmate. All good books, by the way.Reading Suicide Squad, and I'm still really enjoying it, but stuff like this
is getting old. There's this book, there's Checkmate, there's whatever event is going on, Firestorm keeps getting namedropped... Gaaaaaah

Parts of his Nightwing were good. As I recall, he did Nightwing Annual #1 and missed the memo about Dick getting a haircut; kept drawing him with that glam rock hair.
That's actually pretty neat. I doubt there's any chance of any of them being reprinted alongside the new SS TPBs, though

The other members of the O5 finally had enough of Young Jean, booted her to a team that won't stand for her bullsh*t meddling, then brought aboard a clone of the X-Men's greatest foe and a self-hating religious zealot because that's still an improvement.
....
Alternatively, Young Jean realized that she'd done all the damage she could to to her O5 teammates while still alive, and decided to move on to her next target of opportunity like a swarm of locusts looking for other fields to devour.
