165 Blue Beetle 11 DC 12,075
I really hope the tv show just puts a nail in the coffin of the Inhumans. I'm so sick to death of them. Sucks about Iceman though. I think Marvel has just oversaturated things to an absurd degree.
New Superman and Blue Beetle are too bad as well, though I always though Jamie worked better as a Titan anyway and New Supes is a hard sell overall.
I don't mind since so far it seems to be turning up great stories and intriguing hooks
BUST(S), surely?
136 Superwoman 12 DC 15,209
174 America 5 Marvel 11,354
Superwoman is rumored to get the ax anyways.

Not so much rumored as the latest solicit says it's the finale to Lana's story.
You have the benefit of reading it in trade. In single issues the pacing on the Godspeed arc was awful and the story seemed like it went on forever. After dropping it I've read the trades as they've come out and Williamson has gotten better, but it's still a bit uneven. It's better than New52 Flash (not like that's saying much), but doesn't reach any of the preN52 heights.

New Super-Man noooo...
Spotted the first three volumes of the new release tpbs of Morrison's Doom Patrol in a store the other day. The spine design is making me want to double dip...

I don't know what else to talk about? Random J life stuff that nobody cares about? I can do that. My friend and I ate kebabs in Ueno today, saw a Pakistan/Japan Festival, bought a physical copy of Mister Miracle, and drank a Smore flavored frappacino at Starbucks.
Is that better?
I'm a guy who likes Horror. Ooh.
Why do people in Japan drive left? I can understand it for India, but why in Japan?

Would rate post 9/10, would consider eating kebabs with hatted doggo in the future
OT AUGUST - HATTED DOGGO EATS KEBABS IN JAPAN, FOR COMICS SEE JULY THREAD
Seriously though apart from the Starbucks mistake that sounds like a pretty good day out

I just find the whole book issue to issue way overwritten. Way too much narration/monologue boxes, always telling instead of just letting the art breath and show itself. It feels like it's trying to do the "I'm Barry Allen and I'm The Flash" shtick from the show, but every issue. Tear out a lot of those boxes and I think it would read better; in that level, I appreciate you like it dude but never mind The Flash, I don't think it's very good comics, at least in the writing style department, just way too much redundant text that drags me down.
Totally appreciate some of you guys like it though, I wouldn't have chimed in if this hadn't kind of presented the Q, otherwise I think it's cool folks are enjoying it.

This is a really good write-up that explains some other issues I had with it.
The reason that they stayed on the left side, as opposed to all the countries that lined up together to put everything on the ride side is likely because the British helped the Japanese build their first railway. The railroad network all continued to be operated on the left side, and cars probably followed suit.
They're perfectly fine and have their place, I just think they've been handled really poorly
splitting up Black Bolt & Medusa post-Infinity
launching a new book without Black Bolt on the team
introducing all those Nuhumans and concentrating on them over the originals
mistakenly thinking they could carry two books
All dumb decisions. Should have just been one series starring and concentrating on all the originals. Given the lack of Fantastic Four, the book should have basically been a replacement for that with a more cosmic side of things rather than what it has been (Uncanny Inhumans started like this then fizzled out). I've said this before, but would have loved to see how different those books would be if Fraction hadn't left Marvel before the relaunch even started.
Still think most of the anger towards them comes from paranoid X-Men fans.

Pete Carroll Owns Me
Monstress Vol 2 trade debuts at #1 just like Volume 1. They also won a Hugo last week.
Lost me early on and no interest in returning. Glad someone is enjoying it.
America needs to be taken out back and purified with cleansing fire. Then the ground salted lest it come back from the dead.
Really curious how much money his movie will make *g*
But people told me Cyborg was popular because of the Teen Titans cartoon.
I Mean, when people went to see Wonder Woman becaue of her shitty Live Action Show, everything is possible

Those people have a full-time job loudly denouncing anyone who enjoys even a second of Teen Titans Go. When are they supposed to have time to buy comics?
The latter didn't intend her as a lesbian to begin with.
I was gonna say Bennett but Alonso's dicking around chased her out and Gillen is about to get busy with Star Wars.
Liu?
Viaggio?
Thompson?
And has Marvel's getting YA authors move backfired now?
Did you just call the 70s Wonder Woman show shitty?
Yes it's from his Suicide Squad issue
Pls dont hit me
Look at this guy. He thinks they're actually making a Cyborg movie.
Whitley could do it if Gillen passed.
BKV.
Hell, Kelly Thompson could too.
Definitely his style. I took notice of him recently cause he likes Guild Wars 2 and did a comic of it a couple weeks ago.
Doctor Strange numbers.

Has any of the Cap books been in the top 10 or 20 since the launch issues? Feels like being the main books in Secret Empire hasn't helped sales at all.
Messi, I'm switching to a Big Barda avatar due to Kirby month but has Sejic done any other Barda pieces other than the sex one and the shopping one?
I'm very curious about how Batman Rebirth Deluxe will handle the Monster Men crossover. Will it just skip the issues? Will it include just the Batman issues (which would make you either have to skip them or wait for the Nightwing and Detective deluxes to read them), or will it include all the issues?
The solicits say it will include Rebirth #1 and 1-15, which would make it just the Batman Monster Men issues. But I can never trust DC solicits, and it would almost make more sense to just not include the Monster Men stuff at all.
