After 6 issues of God Hates Astronauts I have to say my favorite part so far has to be the saga of Maryweather T Snopple.
Isn't Dwight on the Hawks? I don't think they have that team, wasn't worth the work.
Ayyyyyyyyyyyy
Wait...which one though? Didn't they have Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin and Latrell Sprewell at some point?
They're not even on the same team any more...
Harden 90
Dwight 84
Harden is a 90 and Dwight is an 84. The player info we have right now is messed up and will be adjusted though.
I know
. I still love Dwight. Dwight's rating is waaaaay too high tho.
Once more for old times sake. Remember when Dwight and Harden worked really hard and won the championship? Me either.
This legit made me laugh out loud.
But you think they would would put the Rockets in?
This is also the realist talk. If we have ratings for the Rockets we have ratings for most of the teams.

Star Wars #22
God dammit. What the fuck is this shit? What happened to the awesome Stormtrooper squad from the last issue? Now we're back to more rebel hijinks with Han, Luke and the gang attacking their 6,000th Star Destroyer? smh

Need some help with a few things before I launch the "You should all read The Omega Men" thread now that it's out everywhere and on CMX:
- An actual title. I'm thinking about "The Omega Men: Our generations Watchmen epic" but need more suggestions.
- US links to places where people can buy the book. I have the EU links sorted.
- What pages should I use to hype apart from the cover? Thinking about 3 or 4 pages max.
- Sites you like or trust where the book won awards and one small quote from each. Have AV Club/The Onion sorted.

Not personally. Thank you for do so.
Also that thread title would totally generate hits. They'd be all like blah blah blah what? CLICK! But then they'd see the Omega men and back out. I'm not a miracle worker.

My Hero Academia is so damn good. It's pretty quickly cemented itself as my second favorite Shonen manga (behind One Piece). Now, it's just a matter of how long it can keep it's quality up to see how it stands.
I will say this, it's a manga that pretty much increases in quality with every arc. Before the last couple of arcs, it was largely a good to great manga that executed itself very well. But the last two really pushed it into the, "holy shit, it's amazing" category. Basically the Arlong arc equivalent from One Piece happened, if you've ever read that.
On to the topic of comics, I've almost finished Volume 2 of Uncanny Avengers. I have some issues with this book so far and it doesn't feel as good as X-Force but I'll see how the next couple of volumes play out before elaborating on my thoughts. It's still a really good book but I'm hoping that Remender can be a bit more fair in his treatment to the two sides of the Avengers team moving forward.
Right now, Havok and Scarlet Witch are parading around like idiots thinking they are right in every debate by virtue of having spoken more words. The latter especially is fairly insufferable in this book, given how preachy she is with what she has actually done.

They'll be back soon. No doubt the Empire will send them to try and take the Star Destroyer back.
I think I actually enjoyed #22 more than #21.

I quite enjoy some stuff by Remender, a little cold on some other stuff. The first volume of that avengers book is probably the worst thing I've ever read by him. Something about the mix of the writing style and the dialogue just drove me absolutely up the wall.
Just to add a little positive balance, the cover for low volume 3 is soo good
Call him Alex.

Oh god. Thanks for reminding me.
Even though I read that issue like... a few hours ago.
Also, I don't like Acuna as an artist to begin with (same face syndrome) but can generally ignore his presence on smaller, more contained titles where there isn't a huge focus on action. But I find him extremely unsuitable for the epic sort of scale Remender is going for here as it actively detracts from the action he's trying to present.
Even characters like Genocide lack the presence they did in X-Force due to the art.
