I'd watch a Miles movie. Wasn't the Sony animated movie rumoured to be exactly that? Doing a live-action one would almost require you to kill off Peter Parker though, and man, I don't even want to think about how that would go over. I remember being five and watching Optimus Prime die, if I saw Spider-Man die on screen as a kid I think I'd bawl my eyes out.
He's probably too old for the role now, but at least Donald Glover got to be Miles in the cartoons.
But they told me life begins at 40!
One more year till my very late 20s....
Speaking of Morrison, I'm re-reading Seven Soldiers of Victory. Well, actually, I never read book two, so that one I'll be reading for the first time.
Also, really LOVING the X-Statix omnibus. About a third of the way in. Amazing stuff. Tell me, do any of the X-Statix members show up in anything after the stuff that's in this omnibus? You don't have to say who, but I just want know if if any of them do.

I haven't read either of their novels. I have avoided King's, mostly due to my friends' impressions and their length, although the adaptations are very interesting. I'm pretty interested to check out Joe's novels though.
all of them? I remember only recognizing Rihanna, when I read it a long time ago
Nobody knows anything about the movie, the Miles rumor is something the Miles beggars made out if it.
Would make sense, tbh.

Can't wait for marvel to introduce Mary Jane Morales as Miles' 20-something year old aunt who actually went to High School with Peter Parker and had a secret crush on him.
Because it's the year of Trump and now the standard for making the correct decisions.

Well, I thought so. "Pop" might be pushing it, but
Lucifer - White Duke David Bowie
Woden - Daft Punk Guy
Sakhmet - Rihanna
Baal - Kanye
Inanna - Prince
Amaterasu - Florence (and the Machine)
Not Sure:
Baphomet
Morrigan
Dionysis (He's a dead ringer for my childhood neighbor, but I don't think that's it)
Norns
Minerva
Tara
Persephone

With Claremont's Uncanny X-Men, how far can you go before you have to worry about reading other books?

It is in times of comic book movie casting news that I am reminded of Dwayne McDuffie saying how all non-white male characters are suddenly seen as representative of their entire gender or ethnicity.

I've only seen Zendays in a late night acne commercial but she was fine in that.

Oh Lucifer is kinda obvious, probably didn't thought about it because of the gender

Just comes off like one of those vapid, mannequin-esque model stereotypes, like a Paris Hilton or someone like that.
It's not like I know the girl, but that's the image she's chosen to publicly display, so that's what I have to go on.
Lol she is far from that

Based on...?
Interviews, her background, and acting.
You could say that any celebrity. Someone as pro black and seemingly woke as her can't be all that Vapid. I mean I just looked her name and none of the pictures of her look vapid or vain.

You watching interviews with kids from Disney Channel shows?
Well she's nineteen and is pretty outspoken and wiser than a lot of people older than her when it comes to recent current events in the black community.
Yes. Especially in regards to hair-gate. She's pretty level headed and is a fairly decent writer.
I read them, and she is 19...about to turn 20. If she is a kid then that makes me one too
Fair enough

I kno right.
She naturally channels Mary Jane, way more than Dunst did in those Rami films.

I don't read interviews with people that are in projects I care about, so I don't know why I'm expected to have read this stuff. I was commenting on image, and I said that.
But it's already decided that what I actually mean is that the problem is she's black, so I don't know why I'm talking.

It shows how idiotic it is to paint someone as annoying or vapid based only on 'image'. And I feel that the 'image' you are referring to is a few insta pics and red carpet looks, whereas celebrity image can include everything they choose to put out to the public (how they conduct themselves in interviews, the content of said interviews, their tweets, the causes they stand for, etc).
So it's still on you for not at least googling more of her before making such a wack ass judgement of her character.
Nothing beats a bkatastrophe post <3.
I am still going to use the "in 2016" meme because it is still humorous

For what purpose would I go research her? To look more informed in a shitty message board debate with people I don't know, who are just going to dismiss me as a racist anyway?
She's of no concern to me. I wouldn't know who she was if she wasn't in a Spider-Man movie, and I don't need to know her biography and read her essays to watch her act in a Spider-Man movie. I don't read interviews with my favorite actors. I don't care about their personal lives or thoughts.

Is it possible stores are ordering small amounts of copies which is why the book is selling out?

Anyone know how popular Perez' run of Wonder Woman was back when it was still ongoing?
#50 honestly would have been a great ending to his run imo. I don't remember much of the War of the Gods event but still. This issue was wonderful and will never get old.

Because I was literally asked to elaborate after saying she seemed annoying. It's all right there on the page for you to see.
I don't believe for a second that you've never thought some actor seemed annoying. Or that you never said so without first doing a research project on the person first.
I'm not arguing about this anymore. Getting labeled as a racist over stupid bullshit isn't cool. I'm done with this community.
