Hush looks great in Black and White, judging from those pictures, since it has that generic ass 90s superhero coloring. Long Halloween and Dark Knight Return look cool, too, but I think I'd miss the coloring in those comics since it's so good.
You know what comic needs a B&W edition? 100 Bullets, the art in those books suffers sometimes because of the basic coloring.

Is that Paul Levitz Dr. Fate series any good?

A lot of the impressions for the first four or five issues were pretty ho-hum here. Didn't seem like it was worth getting into tbh.
Cool, thanks bro.

the cult shit just never came together, with a real flat ending with that 3D Man rip off for the leader. Cant all be winners I guess!

I had a lot of fun with the first three volumes. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but t's a solid action team book with some solid dark humor. Not a must read though. You lose nothing by skipping it.
Well, except for a lot of King Shark.
Only Avengers runs I've read were the first volume of Essential Avengers -- which had Stan Lee's run into Roy Thomas' run -- and all of Remender's Uncanny -- which is godlike. Both of them have Wanda and neither have her going crazy (well an argument can be made for Remender), so I'd recommend those.

Yeah, but I don't think the art is bad. More than anything, I'm excited about seeing the story continue.
Thanks guys!

So I started playing Telltale Batman on PS4. Got through the first two chapters so far. No slowdown and not a single stutter so far. It's worth noting that a patch downloaded before I started, so it might have been a last-minute update to hammer down the performance issues.
Really enjoying it so far. I can see this being one of my favorite Telltale games after TWD Season One and Tales from the Borderlands.
Boy, I sure hope No Man's Sky isn't a repeat of Suicide Squad. I already bought that one digital. :|

Yeah. The craziness is winding down though.
Thanks everyone! Hopefully they're on Marvel Unlimited. Been needing an excuse to sign up.

Awesome. That was the first run of the Avengers I really invested in. My branch out of just Xmen marvel books

I haven't read Tom King Bats since #1. Is it worth catching up on even though I'm sure I already know the answer?

I don't think it's any different to how crowds gather at accident scenes.

It's fine. It has pictures. And Batman. Some words, too. It costs $2.99 per issue.
It's a Tragicomedy 6, or a Birdie 9.5. Take your pick.

I'd say that's safe. I take an even keel look at stuff most times, but admit my hype level for King Batman were high going in. We've got a serviceable Batman that does nothing new yet, and feels worse in every single way than the book that came right before it. That's disappointing.
You aren't getting Vision-level King here. It's whatever. Hope he turns it around soon. If not, I'm dropping Batman for the first time in years, and putting that money towards Snyder's All Star book.
Of course. DC aren't killing that golden goose.
it's past midnight, you never wish someone happy birthday after midnight, the same way you don't feed a Freeza after midnight.
But I dont know what time is it in america, so its allowed for me.

Alright, thanks for the input. I'm probably only looking into it because I started the new Telltale Batman game and I'm digging it.
Thanks!

I was responsible for one of those ho-hum impressions. Dropped it in 3 or 4 I think? But at least one other person stuck with it and said it got a lot better.
It's not a good look. But for whatever reason both marvel and DC films have people standing on the sidelines hoping for failure so they can laugh at the companies and big up the other.
Glad I always hope for the best in movies. I have no interest in Dr Strange but I sure as shit hope it's good for the people who are excited.
Oh and I am so over the Chris Evans gifs

Seven issues in and Rumble has been a lot funnier than I was expecting. Good shit. Another book that is probably going to earn itself a CMX sub.

Man, no one liked my Gremlins gif?
Marvel continuing to act like Angela's awesome post crotch belt costumes don't exist. God forbid they would acknowledge that run. Wouldn't want to be seen as progressive in any way. Please don't ask us about Angela's special lady friend.
This costume would never do... Right marvel.
Bring back the panty belt! Guys love the panty belt.
I hate that fucking costume
I thought it was great, looks like it is about to tear up some comics.
I like how her current costume in the comics is basically a more covered up version of this one.
Bendis would actually have to read Bennetts run in order to tell Schiti the costume changes and lol at expecting Bendis to read other people's books.
This seems more like the artist wanted to design his own costume based on her Spawn one. Bendis probably didn't read the book though lol.
Funny how easily marvel went back to that costume after trying to separate itself from it for most of bennetts 2 years. Watch them roll back the character progress too. Shit didn't sell. Make her the angry boob lady again.
It's quite simple: Comic book MOVIE fans are WAY more insufferable than comic book fans. They are way louder and way more opinionated. Now that I'm huge into comic books, I look at that stuff and cringe at how embarrassingly people act.

Angela would make a great DLC guest character for DOA.

It frustrates me how Marvel stumbles upon good things and then fucks them up without fail.
People can't get enough of it. Comic book movie fanboys are the worst.
I have to admit, it was really funny in the beginning.
And I also obiviously made my jokes in the reviewthreads, but at somepoint its not fun anymore... Like I said, its kinda sad to see that this movie bombed on a critical level and people who were big fans of the DCEU start to lose their faith.
But real talk, all these people who claim all the time that critics are bought, the people are dull and just want formulatic and "fun" movies are IMO as problematic as the people who still hit the corpse... But it can be that I am just a little bit biased since I am not that much into DC books and wanted these movie to help me dive more into material...
Sorry for my bad english here, I am super tired and pretty sure non of the above makes sense^^

I will say that they are fairly well made/edited. But it hit a bit of an overload in that thread.
Historically, I'm more of a Marvel person than a DC person, but it really sucks to see them strike out again (at least critically). I feel like if DC were as successful as Marvel has been then it would bring out the best in both of them. Competition is good.
That will probably depend on who's writing her in the future. I like the costume you posted, but her current one doesn't come off as regression to me.
Both sides are 100% just as terrible. People who are rejoicing in the movies failure and people who are trying to blame the movies failure on everything they can but the movie.
