All non-James Robinson Richard Swift appearances are non-canon tbh

It's the terminology that gets me. Writers are not film directors and comics are not things that get cut like films.

The 2011 mini was excellent so yes. For whatever reason the Starman universe brings out the best in him
Its more like a additional DVD with extras

I talked to him recently and he actually really likes it. He seems to be enjoying this particular storyline.

Man Flash's rogues' gallery would be way more fucking intimidating if he wasn't so damn OP. I mean, they're so well built for him. There's a few outliers, but most of them have powers suitable to hard counter speedsters.
-Captain Cold slows down kinetic energy, which the Speed Force effectively is the manifestation of.
-Mirror Master can manipulate light via his mirrors, as well as having access to alternate mirror dimensions
-The Top can counter forward movement via his spinning and can also move at high speeds
-The Turtle has tech that slows shit down
-Boomerang has unconventionally moving projectiles which make them difficult to dodge
Weather Wizard and Trickster are also outliers in the sense that they're not hard counters, but they have their uses, like Weather Wizard controlling fundamental forces of nature and Trickster being unpredictable. Grodd is just a super smart, telepathic gorilla and Abra Kadabra is a magician, thus making them unconventional, but still threats. Heatwave is the only one that kinda doesn't seem like he can do anything useful. He's got a pretty powerful flamethrower. I haven't read enough Flash to know, I suppose.
Oh, and then you have the other speedsters: Savitar uses Speed Force. Thawne has Negative Speed Force, which is like an anti-Speed Force Speed Force. Then Zoloman, who alters time in order to move faster.
Like, solid villains, but damn is Flash OP.

Did he say how long he's banned for?

Flash and his Rogues are basically:
They are just working a 9-5 for Central City's benefit.
Until Messi wins the World Cup.
He said something about enjoying Harley's side characters. He prefers that she not interact with anyone from Gotham other than Ivy.
Until he collects all of the Harley Rebirth covers.
Edit: Which he said he really enjoys.

I gotta finish the last few issues of Ivar Timewalker tonight. Spectacular series.

That's really the bummer. Even Superman has a gallery that feels pretty strong in their own ways compared to him. Brainiac, Lex Luthor, Bizarro, Hank Henshaw, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Eradicator, Doomsday, Metallo. Parasite can drain his powers, Volcana packs a punch, and Livewire is living electricity. In the DCAU, Toyman is insanely OP. And I'm not sure if Darkseid and Mongul count as primarily Superman villains or general DC villains, but they certainly are threatening.

Her Earth 2 Society helmet design looks better tbh.Earth 2 Hawkgirl is best Hawkgirl
I love the way Tom Lyle draws Joker. He's got flair while also having the creepy gangster/serial killer vibe.

Okay, done with Ivar Timewalker. Enjoyed it very much. Brilliant book, which I never expected out of Valiant, honestly.
Is X-O worth reading? More to the point, is #47 actually an okay jumping-on point like they claim?

I've read it up to #14 and like it. #47 seems like a weird jumping on point seeing as how it ends at #50, but apparently it is lol.

It's ok. If you haven't read it yet you must read Archer & Armstrong. It came before Ivar but they're related in story and also tone
True. It's a really good Xmen book
it is decent. Harbinger is better imo

Thought I was the only one. Love fighting games but I have no love for KoF or NetherRealm games.
played the demo for this and loved it. I actually enjoy the new characters.
Also the last KoF game is one of my all time favorites.
I don't like NRS games at all but I find myself defending them because people have a tendency to hate on the very idea of a Western made fighting game. Really I'm defending KI I think.
Drew a little sketch of my boy Hal Jordan. I can never manage to make myself go past the insanely sketchy sketch phase, lol. I just don't have a passion for it. I'm seeing now that the proportions are off, as I was just staring at the GL omni vol 2 cover and trying to draw it without really paying enough attention to the proportions.

If I would like to read an Earth 2 Hawkgirl adventure, which pictofic would be right for me?
It's gotta be the anime.

How are New Superman and Harley Quinn? New Superman especially looks interesting. Also, how's King's Batman and the new Flintstones reboot?

Superman is pretty great. I hear that Action Comics isn't so much. Harley Quinn didn't do much for me, but people that liked the book before the renumbering seem to like it still.

New Superman has been enjoyable so far. Harley is pretty much the same as the book has always been under Conner and Palmiotti. If you like the slapstick comedy, then you'll get more of the same. Tom King's Batman was alright, but I only read the first few issues. And Flintstones is better than it has any right to be, really. Easily my favorite of the Hanna-Barbera reboots.
pretty much sums this up.

This is not too shabby my friend! the face looks good. Shame you don't have much passion for it. I bet you could surprise yourself with how much you can improve in a short period of time.

That's my take and it's why he's my favorite favorite member of the team. All the other members would have went onto great things before the accident, however Ben feels the most like your Average Joe.
I know some other posters have been, giving their thoughts on the books so I'll join in as soon as I'm done with this slog of five Thor books the order has compounded together for some reason.
Thanks man. This is the first drawing I've done since I posted that Batman and Red Robin one around November of last year, lol.

Guilty as charged. Might be time for a comeback. I've compiled everything so far and think I'll eventually do a full thread. Say when I hit issue #100 or so. I love me some DD.
Everyone! I liked blazblue more than guilty gear when it comes to the more anime-ish fighters. Guilty gear got a banging soundtrack doe
