If they were on the platform, I think Birdie would have legit pushed Alonso onto the tracks.
I prefer this art team atm. Writing feels the same. this from a huge Snyder Batman fan.
We already have one for February. We are working on the March thread.
I refuse to believe this. Damn Flow. You were the chosen one.

there must be some mistake. They placed Doom Patrol at 33 instead of #1? How do I contact Brian Cronin to fix this

Agreed. I'll still enjoy any Alien film you put in front of me, though. Even if Covenant turns out to be a fucking shit-show, I'll still like it. I even enjoyed Prometheus quite a bit.
I'm so sorry.

I didn't even see that one until I bought the Alien Blu-ray collection. I will never watch that movie again.
No, I honestly don't understand why Suicide Squad is *that* hated. The movie has many issues, but it's still entertaining. The extended edition anyway. Worse than Batman vs. Superman? Give me a break.
I'm not American. Sorry.
I'm not American. Sorry.
pretty damn good but not Sheriff and Vision great. loved the themes in this book
Why was this like the only thing that you didn't review on a per-issue basis? Like, you didn't even offer any thoughts on it!

Deadshot and Harley are fun. The plot and villain are trash. BvS is worse.
I am sick atm so I didn't have it in me to type up every issue.
I will write a full review of it tomorrow. Which should be fun
BvS is *so* much worse.
The only thing that *really* bugs me is how many scenes in Suicide Squad (or rather the extended edition, the only version I have seen) don't fit together. Also you forgot Boomerang and Waller.

I don't even consider the AvP films as part of the same thing. Though I did think Predators was a fun movie.
I think BvS was easily better. Batman had the unfortunate dream sequences and the little bits of Justice League stuff, but as a movie it was much more tonally coherent and structurally sound (talking about the ultimate edition). It was also way more visually impressive. Suicide Squad was very tonally inconsistent (first half felt like one long montage trailer and second half felt like a generic action movie) with somehow even a worse villain than Doomsday. Despite that, there was a lot of small moments I really liked in Suicide Squad. I thought Deadshot was great and Harley for the most part was pretty good. I actually liked most of the "squad" other than Rick Flagg and Killer Croc, and Joker wasn't good.
I will say this, though: Leto was a better Joker than Eisenberg was a Lex Luthor. They're both pretty bad interpretations, but, yeah.

So, after it was retconned that Cyclops' optic blasts were made of punch dimension energy, does that still count as cosmic radiation? I ask because the reason that Cyke and Havok couldn't harm each other was because they were just firing solar energy/radiation and metabolizing it. So is Havok still technically resistant/immune to it?
BK, are you happy I finally got the Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 omnibus? I'm pumped to read it!

Claremont or Bendis? Doesn't matter as they're both great. Claremont's better though.
SPOILER: The Black Tom/Juggernaut arc is fucking amazing

BvS (especially with the extended cut) is a legit great movie, soooooo
Claremont!
Although I have Bendis' too. I'm going to read all of the Bendis X-Men stuff pretty soon.
Great movie? Should not be in that sentence

How is this an opinion that a person can have? I can't get over the ridiculousness of Batfleck hanging in the corner of that room like a Spider-Batman.
Because he has made Amazing Spider-Man unpleasant to read for almost half a decade?
I mean, he has plenty of moments, but the dislike for him is not entirely unfounded.
Okay, I'm not sure I'll pull the trigger for sure yet, but before the Comixology DC sale ends, one of you guys who's really into Legion/LoSH in here recommend me a run. Like, if I want to use this chance to give a full-on run on the series a chance to feel it out (rather than just a story arc or whatever), which one do you guys recommend giving a shot?
Also, while trying to look this up myself I found out that apparently there's a DnA run on the Authority, which caused me to realize I've heard the name there but know nothing whatsoever about that series in general. So is that indeed one I should look into grabbing before this sale winds down?

They REALLY want Carol to be their Wonder Woman.
LoSH - Levitz/Giffen is the classic run
the Authority - Ellis/Hitch, since those twelve issues are the only ones that exist. It's so weird when people talk about more Authority comics...

Marvel giving her that Inhumans treatment.
They could push all sorts of characters in addition to Captain Marvel. They're not doing it because they don't want to.
Black Widow is one of their more popular MCU characters, is portrayed by an amazing (proven) actress and is likely never going to get a movie. That's not because they're pushing Carol.
And we could have gotten Wasp as their Wonder Woman if Edgar Wright wasn't wasting her.

No way does Wasp have a comparable power set to Carol.
