Your friends must all be jealous of that dope beard then
There is always that one jerk in high school who can grow actual facial hair
I'm actually 31. But I had a dope beard and long jesus hair when is was 18

Pete Carroll Owns Me
My facial hair is still filling in. I figure I should be able to grow a decent beard by the time I'm 50.

Ooooo. Want a couple of these. Wonder if they're on comixology. Looking forward to Megg and Mogg and Fante Bukowski.
Happy Birthday, Freeza!

Yeah? That upcoming Fraction/Charretier backup has me thinking about giving it another shot. Only ever read the first issue

Ooh a baby! Coochie, coochie, coo!
I just finished reading Penny's backstory. That was great.
It was great when it was actually coming out on a quasi regular schedule.

I think I picked up Mech Cadet Yu. Let you know when I start getting through today's haul.

Mech Cadet Yu is... well, it's an argument for double-sized #1s
The whole thing is set up. The premise isn't really all that intriguing, and none of the characters really grabbed me, but I'm willing to give it another couple issues, but it really should've made some effort to hit the ground running.

Thats a bummer. The first issue for a new series should really do more to sell you on the series. Do we know if its an on-going or a limited series? Might just wait till the first trade.
Darth Vader: That was a shockingly abrupt ending. I thought this was a five issue story, but apparently it's going to run much longer. No complaints, I like Vader.
Deathstroke: Jesus, Slade. Really? REALLY? Slade is the most incorrigible jerks in comics. I hope this team lasts a good long time.
Generations The Strongest: Hoo boy I am fucking in for this series of this if what we're in for. I generally dgaf about Hulk but this was a fun story and I'm pretty interested in seeing how this goes. Main issue is the timey wimey ball and ramifications of why doesn't OG remember when Legacy visited them, but I'm at least in on the concept.
Giant Days: Wait, Esther is smart? Considering that we went 20+ issues without showing any college classes, having the book suddenly be all about college classes was a bit of a whiplash. I like it but I seem to recall GD being more self contained than this.
Harley Quinn & Batman: Petty Harley is best Harley. Or "I love Ivy" Harley is best Harley. Either way, this is best Harley. I liked this a lot for something I forgot was happening.

Walking Dead 170...
kind of a snoozefest
How could an empty city not have a human population. Makes no sense. So that was a dumb assumption and there are probably going to be people.
This is the same group that almost gets devoured in the middle of the night for all sorts of dumb reasons, after all

Oliver Sava from the AV Club says that the first issue is really good.
Hawkeye: I regret few things in my life and reading this comic is one of them. Not because it's not good: actually it's excellent. But I wish I wanted on a trade or was behind because I want the next issue NOW. Kelly Thompson is by far one of the most underrated writers around right now.
Injustice 2: Plastic Man is so good! Why is Plastic Mam so good? Has Plastic Man always been good? Am I missing out? What should I read Plastic Man wise?
Iron Fist: I wish Netflix was this good. Alternatively, I wish Netflix was Shang Chi. I'm still on team kill Danny, but if Defenders can bring him up to the level of this Iron Fist, then he can stay. Pei would have been a better show though.
Jessica Jones: I wish Maria Hill was in the MCU more because this comic was great. I'm surprised that JJ hasn't been taken over by Secret Empire like every else has. I wonder if Bendis just didn't want to play along tie in wise, cause I don't think any of his ongoings are doing much.

Everyone knows Plastic Man is DC's best character.
Read Jack Cole Plastic Man. Golden age but feels rather contemporary, especially on the art front. Via free scans online (public domain) or by buying the masterworks HCs.
http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=446
Also read Kyle Baker's Plastic Man. Another great run.
https://www.comixology.com/Plastic-Man-2003-2006/comics-series/46366
He also has a fun role in Morrison's JLA.
Also buy Lego Plastic Man just because.

Have any of you guys seen Valerian? I know it's supposedly not that great but I love sci-fi.

Some pacing issues and some... less than natural... dialogue delivery by DeHaan but the movie looks gorgeous. I enjoyed it.

Oh, shit! Ghosts!
The set-pieces and world building are great. There were quite a few memorable characters that were quirky enough that I really believe this movie is going to be a cult classic. However, to say there is zero chemistry between the two leads would be generous. DeHaan didn't sell me at all. Everyone else did an okay to great job in the movie though.
Matinee imo

My time with MU had a lot of buffering, and needing to re-download issues a couple times for offline lol. I wanted to wrap up Superior Spider-Man, but I was just too annoyed, and don't think I would come back for now.
(26 here since people were giving age
)Typically it takes creators time to find their grove, but a lot of books switch teams around every arc for various reasons these days.

Just read Vol. 2 of TEC Rebirth. Damn. This is such a good Batman comic, and I love having the whole family there. The dynamic is a lot more interesting than I ever thought it'd be. I miss Tim, though. The flashback scene showing him and Batman talking was very well written and hopeful.
Kang War felt a bit too long which I think the Kang stuff from ANADAvengers and Uncanny Inhumans hurt it.
Meanwhile, Nnedi Okorafor, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author spilled the beans she's doing something for Marvel.

Only MizTee Franklin (Bingo Love) let loose Marvel is only hiring accomplished writers and not letting those who want to actually work for them do anything. Claiming they brushed their first black female writer (Nilah Magruder) under the rug over Roxanne Gay.

So that Kotobukiya Panel at SDCC did show a render of Fine Arts Storm.
Bishoujo Katana's base looks kind of nice too.

I loved TEC #950. It got quite an emotional reaction out of me. The team dynamic, everyone's internal struggle, the reason they all fight, the villains that push their personal struggles to the limits... they're all balanced so well.
My biggest complaint about King's Batman is that nobody really emotes realistically. Everyone speaks in vague, layered speech, which is interesting but ultimately hard to relate to. It feels quite cold. I like the book, but I think TEC is more the kind of Batman story I like.
Another thing I love about TEC is how it's building all these stories at the same time. There are still many mysteries that have yet to unfold which are exciting, but how it's built up hype for Metal, where Batman's "army" will have to defend Gotham without him, who the first victim is, what Papa Kane is really up to, the AI in Azrael's suit, Cassandra's attempt to connect with people, Spoiler's path towards being the sort of hero she believes is right and how that clashes with all those who care about her, what happened to Tim Drake... it's exciting! It's a really fun book with a lot of heart, and I really care about all the characters, which honestly isn't very common for me despite how much of a sap I am.
