Some people need editors to make their story better.

I've started watching Defenders. Let's see how this goes.
Every writer needs their editor
The colors are alright, but the people look just strange. Starlord, Gamorra and Drags look like someone but not who they are supposed to be. This turns me off whenever I look at it

Every artist has their own style. They look like the characters they're supposed to be.

Morrison's run is the best, but if you're down for some older stuff then the Silver Age series is also good. I haven't really read past those, so I can't really speak on Arcudi's issues. I did pick up Rachel Pollack's run but I haven't read it yet.
The YA series draws most heavily from the Morrison run though. It's definitely the one to read if you want to see more of the history. It introduces Danny, Crazy Jane, Flex, and concepts like Rebis. Terry None herself seems somewhat related to Mr. Nobody, who is a villain from the series.
Maybe the guardians aren't for you post movie success.

I like it conceptually, but that Kuder draws it strangely.
I wasnt even a that big fan of Annihilation, I didnt liked the Main Event but very enjoyed the Tie-Ins.
Havent continued with the Space Event after that and havent the DnA Book. I really need to see whats going on with Ultron but it somehow slips under the backlog.

Everyone keeps wanting everything to be Legion...

Legion is not happening.
Except for the fact that they said it's coming in time
Humphries is one of the many writers who has said Legion would be a dream book, so I could see him jumping from GLs to Legion if it was offered. His Bugs Bunny/Legion one shot seemed like it went over really well, so I could see the strength of that book working in his favor to the regular LoSH title.

There's a bunch of animated shows right know that are just stellar, and the fact that all of Marvel's have been bland (at best) is a real shame.
I take this opporturnity to say that the new Spider-Man Show looks like the worst crap there ever was
Yeah, saw a lot of people talking about not getting in on Twitter. Guessing this list is still somewhat incomplete as I don't see tables for McKelvie, Ramos, or the Essential Sequential guys.
Sent an e-mail about a Juan Ferreyra Batman/Harley commission...hopefully I didn't delay for too long.
OMG did you commission Flashpoint Joker and Batman. He posted a wip on twitter. Looks amazing.
I saw that yesterday, it's so great
Seriously makes me want to get a flashpoint Joker.
Wait you said batman and harley so this isn't yours?

Soooooooo, I bought and read the trade of Miller's All Star Batman and Robin.
Wow.
Okay, firstly, I liked it more than most it seems, but in fairness I was not going into it thinking "OMFG the writer of DKR with Jim Lee doing a Batman book that is a sequel to Year One, holy fucking shit!!!" I had heard how awful it was, so I went in thinking it was going to be garbage.
First lets get the easy part out of the way. Lee's art. Lee is an amazing artist. His Xmen will be with me forever. That being said, I have already seen his Batman during Hush, and this doesn't look different in any way whatsoever. I have already seen his take on all this. Verdict - Awesome Lee art is awesome Lee art, but it was certainly not worth the delays in this case. His art also does not fit the tone of this book in any way shape or form.
Okay. Now to the controversial stuff. First a disclaimer, I have only read through it once so far, and there may be layers or stuff that I didn't pick up on. Also I want to say that while I am familiar with the idea that the internet HATED this, but I didn't know why other than "the goddamn batman".
I kinda liked it? I mean, its fucking balls out crazy for certain. But I think I can buy that early in his career before he found his balance he was kind of insane and overwhelmed by the adrenaline of actually doing what he does. And yes, he is batshit fucking insane. I think its an interesting point, as I can not think of any reason why a sane person would put a 14 year old in the kind of danger that Robin is exposed to. So if you look at it like Miller started with the idea of "what kind of person would expose a 14 year old to this" and then worked outward, this is the kind of story you would get.
Like, Batman saving BC and then fucking her, right there at the scene, is fucking crazy, and not something you would ever see from Batman, but in the context of THIS Batman story, it worked for me.
Its like... the recklessness of Batman from Earth One vol 2, just turned up to 11. Or 1100. Or whatever.
I wish I could express my feelings on all this better but a. I don't have the book in front of me for reference, and b. I'm pretty bad at writing critiques, or writing anything in general, I'm much better speaking than writing.
I detest that the story feels completely unfinished.

Wait, did All-New Guardians get better? Because that opening story was dull as fuck
I hated GLs, so I guess this is good news to me

I just feel like the heist caper in a team book is worn out at this point

Hey Messi are you interested in Leila del Duca's Shutter Pride Month variant? She is selling it for charity.....
It's likely going for way more than I can afford now. But I love it. She started it at 200 I could right now pay up to 600 but the Twitter response leads me to believe it's gotten expensive
I'd love to own it
Man, I know Van Sciver has been a shadow of his former self lately, but this looks fantastic.

Aw the feels. I was looking in my old flickr account and stuff like that to find a pic of the one single page of original pencils that I own. Its from uncanny 468. I can't find it, but I found a bunch of stuff my ex drew about us after I got her to read TSSTG (she wasn't much of a comics person). The feels!

Fuck Yeah.
All I need is a firestorm book and my top five will all be in good places for rebirth.
Well I'll be picking up that Black Lightning book.
Without getting into stuff that would even spoil stuff that hasn't been revealed in the book yet, that stuff is setting up something a lot bigger that will come to a head soon.
