Haha, I more just meant that she would be working on motorcrush oppose to batgirl, probably why she moved on without doing the end.
I actually am not sure how I feel about Stewart as a writer. I did like batgirl vol 1 but I much much prefer gotham academy vol 1 so I think it's the fletcher influence I like that ties them together. Plus GA has Cloonan on board. In terms of Stewart on his own, I haven't had much experience with him. Believe he did a short arc on bprd, but it's not been collected yet.
Like I say anyway, I was more providing an explanation for where the awesome Babs tarr is at, not really advocating Cameron Stewart.
Magick on bass and Golden Balls on percussion.
Is there a good reading order for Civil War Part Deux The Reckoning of Danvers yet? I'm ready to dive back into How to Destroys Someone's Character the Marvel Way.
:edit just going to catch up with All-New Wolverine and buy the the four issues of Civil War that's out.

Hmm I am actually interested in this. I definitely won't be ditching my trades but wouldn't mind maybe starting to pick up so marvel books monthly or something so I can get in on some of the regular chat a little easier. I have a reaaally old kindle fire though, so I'd need a nice tablet. Would really like it to be really cheap though because its would literally get used for nothing else.
Read Nighthawk.
Next week is pretty much a bye week for DC except for Future Quest 4, Legend of Wonder Woman 9, Suicide Squad: War Crimes Special, and Gotham Academy Annual. So this gives me a great chance to get caught up on my reading. I promised myself that I would finish Grayson before I even touched Nightwing Rebirth.

Finish finish or get to the end of the King/Seely stuff finish?
Both actually. I've been swamped with school work and etc that I really haven't read much Grayson past the first few issues.
Just checked CMX, King/Seely got off after issue #17. After that there are three more issues.
Edit: Vol 4 of Grayson that hasn't come out yet has the rest of the King/Seely run.

I liked Lake of Fire. It's Aliens with swords instead of pulse rifles.

It was a weird choice. I feel like the obvious choice would be to have them go to the end (as they're both writers and would still be able to write their rebirth stuff at the same time) or bump up the end to their last issue.
The same thing happened with Batman. Snyder and Capullo finished their run, and then there was still an issue or two just so there wasn't a gap before Rebirth.
Odd scheduling decision.
I read through the Godworld trade of Black Science, and I'm confused as to why (IIRC) this arc got so much hate in here? It's just a few issues of digging deep into what makes Grant tick combined with some crazy visuals. Is it because it steps away from the crazy world-building and stuff? Or I guess it may just be one of those things that seems to drag reading one issue a month, but is fine when read in trade format. Like when I kept seeing people in here complain about All Out War lasting so long in Walking Dead, but then when I read it my main complaint was how damn short it lasted. Like, it was more a minor skirmish than something that could feasibly be called a war.
Edit: Is any of this mass of Green Hornet worth buying, or is it all meh/bad? Oh, and heads up that the manga Cross Game is on sale, and it's a cool Slice of Life/Drama sports title that makes for a nice change of pace from your normal hotblooded sports stuff. It doesn't get as stiff of a recommendation from me as Eyeshield 21 ends up popping up in this seeming series of Viz sports manga sales, but it's still good stuff if that sort of combo sounds appealing to you.

Let's start our own comics site where we tell people the truth about comics free from the biased mainstream media.
Make Comic Journalism Great Again!
Looks like a mini series but bought.
Ok I have
Lake of fire #1
Black panther #5
Snotgirl #2
Down for some more what we got
I really want to start a podcast, discussing comics as a medium and how it relates to race, gender, and sexuality. From indy comics to the mainstream big two. Have one or two permanent co chairs and from time to time have guests that aren't even fmaiakr with the medium to get their thoughts.
Like Superheroes in color but as a podcast. Think I'm going to wait till my current podcast is up to either 10 or 20 before trying.

Read some of this.
Then watched Enter The Dragon again.
Then got whacked in the eye while playing sqaush. Thankfully comics don't require depth perception.

I've never seen a Bruce Lee movie. I have seen Showdown In Little Tokyo like 8 times though.

Snotgirl was the only thing I read all week but it was dope.
This weekend I want to read the rest of the Midnighter trade then read some stuff I have piled up if I get around to it. Got King City this week so I kinda want to start that.

Definitely read King City next. It's awesome.
Time to watch Enter the Dragon then.

I love Graham's art so it's been on my list for a while. Finally bought it since I had a coupon for my comic shop. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
I think I need to read the ties in for Civil War, at least the Carol stuff because this just isn't that well thought out. It really does need more room to grow instead of action, reaction, action, reaction, action, reaction etc for four issues. Interesting concept but really poor execution. A slower pace wouldn't have been a bad thing for this book at all.
I'm going to give Totally Awesome Hulk a read because Cho's reaction to all this will be something.

Here's an interview with Gillen and McCelvie with Paste Magazine.
Interview starts at 16 or so minutes in.
Great accents.

That dream has been deader than the hopes of ever seeing Citizen V again.

Oh man, thank you for posting this.
I think what's interesting (and only at best tangentially related to comic book journalism), it is indirectly addressed in the part about the sales of comic books, is that the comic book industry is very much an American one. In a media world that has gotten globalized, superhero comic books are still very much an American domain. Their heroes are American, their stories are American, their audience is mostly American.
Frank Cho? he draws big ones. Lady Hellbender best new character of 2016.
