Now just do the same thing with Omega Men.

King's Vision is one of the best things I've read in ages. Now get over to The Omega Men and Sheriff of Babylon.

Omega Men was just recently recommended to me; I'll get on both of those. I now regret ever doubting his takeover of Batman (which is also great).

It's very well done but I didn't love it. Mainly because I've had all the big plot points spoiled for me by podcasts but also because it's a book about the Vision.

Bummer, I imagine that kind of sucks the impact out of it. I knew literally nothing about it (I judged a book by its cover because it looked different....) so that had a lot to do with the wow factor for me.

But yes, Vision isn't really a character I usually have much interest in, so it was a shock that this is one of my must-read titles

It honestly feels like BKV makes up the stuff he write as he goes along with how crazy his cliffhangers are lol.

Yeah, I bet he just thinks to himself, "what could fuck with people the most?" and then he somehow makes that work for the rest of the story. I don't mind as long as it works and it has so far.

 

[jon bones]

Has anyone else here been sleeping on Tom King's The Vision? Because if you have been like me, stop it. It's awesome.

i own all the issues but haven't read them yet.

i'm waiting til we're 1 or 2 away from the end. i believe that's issue #12, right?

 

[BrightLightLava]

Huh.

I just now realized that the Spider-Gwen Latour and the Southern Bastards Latour are the same guy.

Yup...it's weird how he can write one amazing book and one crap book

 

[Sandfox]

Doesn't he only do the art for Southern Bastards?

To be fair he's not writing southern bastards

Curse you. I always get the Jason's mixed up.

He wrote at lease one issue.

4001 War Mother was legit fantastic. Cross between Bioshock and Destiny.

I really hope they continue stories in this world.

Is it an anthology or a legit story following an character?

Oh, good. I bought that. Will probably read at some point tonight.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

You know, the arts more than a little wonky but Aquaman is turning out to be a real solid story. Most of these opening Rebirth arcs are really nicely built, taking their time but actually leading somewhere.

 

[BrightLightLava]

My god that three page spread in Animosity. That's some damn good comics right there. And the text page makes it all seem terrifying.

Great stuff.

 

[jon bones]

having just copped (but not read) any of Batman and Robin vol. 1 + Superman (2016) #1 i wonder

is Tomasi writing books about Batman as a dad & Superman as a dad?

that could be an interesting study on the 2 characters

His Batman is definitely about him being a Dad and how he deals with it.

Did anyone even read DC comics today?

I read Green Arrow and Harley. I think that might have been it.

Great Arrow: Still good
Superman: Still good
Batman: Things Starting to happen
Nightwing: Still good

I love that it's a superhero book where the hero tries resolving things by talking and listening before punching stuff. There's something revolutionary to that.

I just had to show those spreads to my wife, they are so amazing

Glad you liked it man

 

[Sandfox]

Every scene with Solo in this week's Deadpool was gold and it got me hyped for his solo.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

I was pleasantly surprised by Suicide Squad 1. Nice, tight story and Tan's art was muddy like we've seen in the past. Made me wish for a good movie even more tho

 

[TheFlow]

Glad to know the DC books that I do pull are consistent.


I am going to give Suicide and Harley a try, just to say I did.


I work two jobs now, one requiring me to get up at 3 am -_-. Goodnight

 

[Owzers]

I read that Harley #1 sold 400k copies, that's better than reading the book.

 

[Freezasaurus]

So what's the deal with Valiant's 4001 AD books? Is that an event or a new timeframe in the Valiant universe or what? Where is Lunchpod when these questions come up?

 

[JTripper]

I did a bad thing and went for B&N's B2G1 Marvel books and got Daredevil Reborn and Shadowland.

The third was Vision Vol 1 though, so did I redeem myself?

 

[ElNarez]

Suicide Squad Rebirth feels way too safe, especially when compared with Unfollow, a better comic from the same writer that came out this week. It feels expected, it's the Squad you know and love doing bad things to bad people in the name of America, and I do not come to Rob Williams for the expected.

Then don't pick up a book that they were clearly going to play safe.

4001 AD is a four issue mini spinning out of the Rai monthly, which is set in the year 4001. There are also four one shots focusing on Valiant characters and how they change over the next two thousand years. They don't feed into the main story. So a very small and self contained event book

Reborn is not totally terrible. Shadowland is a comic sin but you have indeed redeemed yourself with Vision.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah, but.. Shadowland?

 

[Tragicomedy]

It just hit me that we'll have Action Comics and Detective Comics #1000 soon. That's crazy.

Well that was the motive behind the renumbering lol.

Kirkman knows what's up.

Bought a deck of Pokemon cards today. I can not fathom buying something nerdier this year

Didn't you pre-order a fake, $300 Captain America shield?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Double post!

It wasn't fake, I think it was made by Hasbro.

It's made from real vibranium?

Probably. It had better be for $300.

 

[echoshifting]

Yeah, but.. Shadowland?

Would not wish it on my worst enemy, to be honest, but he's already headed down this path. He chose it. It will haunt him forever...it is its own punishment.

RIP Andy Diggle's career btw. Shadowland totally knocked him off the map.

Nahhhhh

Well. Not yet

[Owzers]

I think i'm dropping Doctor Strange, just finished issue #9 and i should have given up awhile ago but i stayed for Bachalo art that wasn't attached to Bendis.

Are people excited for Millar/Capullo's Reborn? That's a book.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

The new Lady Killer was great. Art was gorgeous and it had a nice hook at the end. Really looking forward to seeing where this one goes.
