I just read Blue Beetle Rebirth and it was not good. Now to read Archie and get a proper teen led book.
It's basically an homage to the USM story, but better because the two characters in question should be better written.
Nearly missed this, thanks for saving that poster.

So, does anyone find it weird that Huntress is whitewashed in Bombshells? I just now thought about it especially since she's a WOC in the New 52.
Agreed. Should have stayed dead.
Which Huntress is it?

Helena. In the New 52 she's black and Italian but in Bombshells she's a white German.
What makes it super weird is that Lois Lane is Mexican. Like, what's the takeaway here?
Hmmmm, I don't know. There seems to be multiple versions of the character with different races. If one universe was to use the mixed version and another the traditional white version, then I wouldn't automatically point to whitewashing. But that's just me.

Cuban, not Mexican. Also according to the Lois one-shot New 52 Lois is half Hispanic.
Spidey and Deadpool #2 guest starring Spider-Adjacent probable clone Miles Morales. Another great issue with the best written Deadpool in all the stuff he shows up in. And Peter continues to come off like an asshole towards Wade (although he mellows out a bit in this issue). Loving this book.
Venom Space Knight #4 - we got Pandas and suicidal robots and arena fighting and Symbiote walking around and talking unattached from Flash. And they cancel this to bring back normal ass RAWR RAWR Venom agaim? Fuck this company.

That's the one con about people trade/MU waiting, though I would guess Flash Venom just isn't that popular.

Just saw this on Reddit. I can't wait anymore. I have to subscribe to an ongoing.-_-

I'm curious to see how the new Venom book does because there's a part of the Spider-Man community that preferred the old version as well as people who don't like villains becoming heroes. Renew Your Vows will be interesting to follow as well, though Clone Conspiracy and what follows will probably muddy that up.

If that's seriously all the new book ends up being I'm gonna have to buy a paper copy so I can burn it
I have never got the point of giving companies your money just to do that lol. If anything the people burning Captain America for example probably made people want to check out the book.
I'm not a Venom fan so I need to wait for both an interview from Costa and the identity of the new Venom.

Awesome, thanks for the insight. I'll pick up Waids run on my next order.
John Byrne is wierd.
Yup. A lot of people were complaining about the art on the book so it's probably the right move for both.
Brian Fellows
Pete Carroll Owns Me
Marvel is making two versions of every other character. Why not two Venoms?
Carnage?

Is that... representative... of his FF run?
I don't think so, but Reed as a character in general is basically what people think Hank Pym is.
Old Man Logan #2: Logan vs Amadeus. Great issue as Logan reminiscences about the past (well his past, the future lol) eith Banner's fucked up family, except this Hulk isnt Banner and he gets his old ass whooped. When he figures it out he hightails it out of there looking for his old buddy Clint only to run into Kate and thats how you do a cliffhanger! This book is dope as shit.
OML only gets better.

I wish Venom was like he was in the ps1 Spider-Man game. Just teleporting everywhere and hilariously trolling Spider-man.
john byrne is a real piece of shit irl fyi
#TeamBetty forever
i agree RE: the art
can't wait for Eisma to join and REALLY hoping he ditches Veronica Fish's terrible Raj for Staples' best Raj

I had thought that was a more recent development and that his older stuff was supposed to be quite progressive. Or was that all Claremont?

Captain America Steve Rogers #4
I like what Spencer is doing with the character and book. The idea is solid and I'm very much looking forward to seeing how the story plays out.
But..
Like issue #1 and #2, this is all botched execution. Too much of this issue was Steve posturing and just endlessly droning on for a reveal that was far too predictable, coming off the backs of issue 3 and even the first quarter of issue 4.
I think this is the biggest problem with the series so far, execution and pacing. You could probably very easily cut out an entire issues worth of stuff so far and the end result would be better.

Actually, yeah, I was being a bit unfair there. There's actually not too much questionable stuff in his old stuff from what I remember?
Claremont's a pretty chill dude from what I can tell.

What's Fish's Raj look like? I saw you talk about this earlier, but I got Raj confused with Sayid.
a quick note: Archie has had great distribution in India for ages and when i was a kid visiting over the summer it was one of the few English comic reads i could find over there.
the company introduced their first Indian character in Riverdale who looked as appropriately doofy as everyone else in OG Riverdale:
then Staples provided that dope redesign up top, and i was super stoked on it (even had my avatar changed for a brief moment) but Fish ditched it so we could have this asshole back:
All New Wolverine #3-5: fantastic arc with the cline sisters continues with Dr.Strange and Wasp guest starring. Actual touching death in issue #5 makes me super excited to see how this ends. Amazing book and im on a roll with books im enjoying. I need to stop havinh these long breaks where I dont read anything :/
Uncanny Avengers #4-5: Stegman's art is getting better as the first arc wraps up, Cable sticks around and Hank Pym Ultron has one hell of a cliffhanger appearance at the end of #4. Carlos Pacheco actually does issue #5 and its actually a step down :/ Man I used to like his art back in the day. Anyway Gambit shows up
as we start a new arc with the team hunting Red Skull. Fun stuff with Deadpool, Rogue and Torch going on a little mission, but nothing much happens. The book is ok but its nothing amazing, and its deffinately the low point of the evening so far.

Nah. Square Enix are ripping people off on this one. They're actually one-time-use and can only be used on one save. So it's not like you get x# of praxis kits every time you start a new game. Just the one time.
It's not that guy in the sewer, is it?

Hmm, that is kind terrible. Hope the new artist does better.
