Great writing, servicable art. Pity they don't have Rock of Ages in this book, for me that's the highlight of this run.
Might get Joker, I got Luthor: Man of Steel, Wonder Woman and the Pathfinder issues I don't have yesterday.

I stopped reading atter the first trade and I definitely do not hate comics, Bunny.
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but can someone explain something about Locke & Key to me? At the end, when
They mention that they
, is it
It's been a while since I read all the other issues, just wondering if I'm forgetting something that explains it. I feel like I have.
Bode is in the bird's body and leads Tyler to the door, what key does he use to get Bode back?
cremated Bode's body
something to turn him from a bird into a human?

I certainly read it, and I liked it for the most part. It felt a bit sudden for an ending to a series like this, though. Almost rushed. One ?, though...
How did Bode get his body back? Was it some deus ex machina, or did I miss a detail somewhere?

My too, Butterfly.
I thought it was really cool. But as I said before, the end of the first volume felt finite. So I felt like I'd had a good serving of the stuff and like, welp, bye! But I keep hearing it just gets better from there, and I do like the characters, so I'll have to grab it up eventually.
Oh, gross. Why is 500 year old Wolverine in this equation? If there is ~** sExUaL tEnSiOn**~ between he and 16 year old Jean I will ralph.

I think he meant the relationship between the original (now dead) Jean and wolverine (with cyclops playing spoiler) is going to have a weird ass parallel in young scott and X:23. No idea if young jean is going to be playing spoiler, so far the storyline has been Scott insisting they were "meant" to be together, and jean running as far as possible away from that.
Sad to see Locke and Key end, but damn what a ride.
Uncanny Avengers has more than justified me not dropping the book a while back. Should have never doubted Remender. Can't wait to see how all this madness pans out.
Saga continues to wreck my soul in the best kind of way. Also Sweet Boy, eh?
Oh and Daredevil was really great too, I wish this book could last forever.

Young Scott and X-23 is everything I wanted from X-Men. Sadly, there was no payoff in this issue.
Which one?

Joking? Can't tell.
Scott and X-23's relationship echoes Jean and Logan's. It's brilliant storytelling, only possible in the Mighty Marvel Universe, where continuity is still a thing.

That Bunny needs his own book. Hopefully not Fraction, Butterfly cannot even get Hawkeye out on time. Marvel still doesn't know how to write the Strange and the magix.

The return of my top 5 of the week. Tough to choose 5 as I liked all 8 of my books this week.
5. Batman and Two Face
4. Saga
3. Umbral
2. East of West
1. Black Science
First two were easy locks for the spots. That 5th spot had me staring at my pull for a few minutes asking myself which one impacted me the most. Batman got the spot because I really like a piece of dialog in there about some Indian folklore.

Bleeding Cool is reporting that Marvel editor Steve Wacker will be leaving the comics division and moving to California to take a position at Marvel Animation.
No public announcement yet, but supposedly it's internally known.

Thank god, hopefully this means Loeb will focus on ruining live-action Marvel television and Wacker manages the animation division. If there's any man for the job besides Yost it's him, despite his constant trolling he's a great editor. I hope he resurrects the glory days of Earth's Mightiest Heroes again.
Also, his new position might mean he won't have as much time to snark at people on CBR anymore haha.

"I don't do hugs" was your payoff.
Even though it's weird to see her have so much dialogue, it was a nice change of pace.

Seeing young Scott hug Laura was kinda desperate....

What and miss Wacker's epic posts? I hope he continues to post with his snark.
Also best editor at Marvel. DD, SSM, Scarlet Spider, anything else I am missing? Unsure about Hawkeye. He has a nice list of credentials.
But please give us high quality Marvel animated shows again.

I don't think it will, Marvel's got a lot of great editors besides Wackman. Plus, it's the talent that fuels the book.
He's more needed to clean up the mess Loeb and his "writers" have made at Animation.
Eh, his posts are kind of annoying because he rarely discusses the business with the people who actually enjoy what they read. Still, he can have some funny one-liners hehe.
And yes, we need high-quality cartoons and the return of the "PG" animation too.

You can't slavage the wreckage of Loeb. A Butterfly flaps its wings in the East causes a hurricane in the West. I think he is being fired because of the mess that is Inhuman.

Wacker is a snarky asswipe online, but he's one of the best comic editors around and I'll be forever grateful for pulling together big weekly projects like 52 and Brand New Day, as well as always taking chances on unique artists for big books. I don't know anybody else that would have let creators like Emma Rios, Marcos Martin, Chris Bachalo, and Eric Canete on the main Amazing Spider-Man title, but I'm glad he did.
Rafa I never knew you were so deep lol.
I'm still holding out hope that Animation will make a comeback out of pure hope
. They just need a new team of competent animators who can work on a tight budget, and heralded comicbook writers. And the Inhuman disaster wouldn't be something to take Wacker down, though maybe he got tired of the interference with the book.I agree, he takes risks and they usually pay off. He knows his shit.

Look the good it did for them though. One is doing an online comic that you can pay for like you do a homeless person. One had his artistic integrity crushed by Bendis. One doesn't even exist. And the other is stuck with Pretty Deadly? Who came out the winning end???
Travel Foreman and Jeff Lemire had pitched DC on a Doom Patrol book but it was rejected. Foreman has released some artwork.
Edit: This is a miscommunication. There was no actual pitch. The artwork is for a Foreman project that is similar to Doom Patrol.

Dude was the editor behind johns GL and 52. Plus all the street leek books a marvel

Don't stoop down to Mark Millar's level, don't rip off company characters and release them in the indies.
These movie execs have to be functionally ignorant or something. It reminds me when Vince McMahon didn't know Razor Ramon was a riff on Tony Montana and thought Scott Hall had created it on his own. "Who's this Flash Gordon fella. Is that some secret government space traveller from the 50's? My mother used to tell stories of him." Now I have another idea for a comic!!!

Not joking. I was just showing my ass. My knowledge of the X-Men is mostly limited to the movies and the 90's cartoon. Thanks for breaking it down.

If the Wacker move does one thing I hope it weakens Loeb's dogmatic stance on cartoons not having any continuity less they confuse children. Spectacular Spider-Man was great because of how it kept building on well-seeded plot points throughout the series.
Kids don't even care if they understand what is going on. They just want to see cool things happen.
Loeb's reign may finally be over? Not that I hate the current shows out right now (I especially find Hulk and the Agents of SMASH pretty decent), but yay~.

I don't believe that. I loved it when there was a three-parter in Amazing Spider-Man or the X-Men cartoons and when I missed an episode in-between it just made me more curious. Continuity doesn't exclude cool stuff from happening either.

There's more coolness in this one scene of Spectacular Spider-Man than in the whole of Ultimate. You can definitely have both.

Wasn't a big fan of the streamlined art style, but if it allowed for all those great fight sequences, it was worth it
