TIL Gambit must endure immeasurable suffering from autocorrect
Perhaps he's one of those people who communicates only in emojis

As a Scot I have a hard time with reading say Moira in Uncanny X-Men but it's harder to get the flow of speech like that when it's written rather than spoken. Everybody speaks the same because it's more fluid to read but it does make it a but dull. Even if it comes off stilted in my head when I read it I love when characters have accents like Rogue and Gambit.

I just didn't like the story in "White Bear". The idea that
we have gone to such an extent to monetize other people's pain, even in the name of "justice"
I basically have the same problem with "San Junipero" as you do.
The idea of Kelly going in was ambiguous as to whether or not she was actually going to do it, but I also wanted Yorkie's side. We don't know the amount of time that's passed, and we assume Kelly and Yorkie are cool right off the bat? As if Yorkie didn't just insult her marriage and ask her to commit suicide? And as if Kelly didn't say it was all out of pity and there was nothing real there? Basically, that Yorkie was pathetic? Shit was heavy and I feel like the ending handwaved it with no consequence or weight at all.
I just got to the arc where Banshee take some of the X-Men to his home in Ireland and his crazy cousin is there. I never really appreciated Banshee before starting the Claremont run but he's really fun. Him calling Logan a midget constantly cracks me the fuck up.

Best arc ever committed to the printed page

I do enjoy well written dialect actually. You just really have to know the dialect, run it by somebody who speaks it before you publish it
X-Men characters have perhaps the worst dialects in fiction. But in fairness, they developed in a very different era of comics.

I'm really enjoying reading through the first Omnibus. I've been reading a few issues a night before bed and it's been great.

The Battleworld one yeah
This is what I feared.
Like DC Rebirth?
I don't even remember the Isola preview.
But yeah, if you dig their Batgirl stuff you'll like this, if you didn't, there's nothing here to convert you.

We really needed a canon "fun" X-Men book post-SW. I'm surprised a new Exiles or Excalibur wasn't announced among the new books.

There was Web Warriors, which was Exiles-but-they're-all-Spider-Man. It wasn't great. Guardians of Infinity was close as well.
I want the real thing back. Although I guess the original team no longer exists what with the multiverse collapsing and everything. But it would have been fun to have an Exiles book during Secret Wars with Blink, Morph, etc on Battleworld.

Who do we want on the team? They can't be on any other teams or have their own solo book.

The New Bendis Five would be literally perfect as Exiles, since they've been exiled by editorial.

Old Guard: Blink, Morph, Nocturne. I feel like they're the core of the Exiles team, well Mimic as well, but, y'know.....
(that destroyed me when the book was coming out)New Blood: Captain Britain (he's met the Exiles before), Hazmat, Smasher (Hickman version)
Warlock, Doug Ramsey, Goldballs.

I like how Stephen King will occasionally emphasis how a character has said a word a specific way to remind you of the character he's built in your head, accent and dialect etc, but otherwise he'll write it straight. Feels like a good compromise.

Curiously the rebirth omnibus that released today says Vol 1 on it. Whats all this about?
Also a Bendis Guardians Omnibus is kind of stupid right before he finishes his run...I suppose they will come back for a second Omnibus.
Love the cover though. Bendis always has the best artists.

Sean Gordon Murphy posted a bit about his Batman book so I thought I should compile them:
Poll about what WE think it's about.
Done with #2 and moving on to #3.
Clayface talk.
Gotham references.
WIPS he has posted the last few weeks:

It was a nice little story of accepting your place in the world and not letting the past hold you down. A feast for the eyes! This book has been firing on all cylinders from the get go, it shouldn't be but it's kind of ridiculous that I'm enjoying a Superman ongoing so much. Now we got some Frankenstein up in here.
Hah that Clayface is awesome.

Well, we have more Rebirth books on the way like Batwoman so probably those in Vol. 2.
I didn't realize she was getting a rebirth issue. I thought they were doing a two issue Detective arc co written by Bennett and Tynion leading into her book.
Ill try get a Harley page from that SGM Batman book but it will likely go in seconds and for a very expensive price.

Aquaman 12: This story is a mistake and this is a bad issue
Not the best.
Throne of Atlantis was less than five years ago in real world time, probably a lot less in comic book time, so the United States is preeetty much justified in disarming the Atlanteans for good. In Throne of Atlantis the King of Atlantis declared war, drowned thousands of people and caused countless billions in damage. In The Deluge the Atlanteans have lost control of so many weapons of war, including weapons capable of causing massive tidal waves and inflicting mass casualties, that a rogue element is able to perfectly simulate a large scale Atlantean attack. In this issue it is noted that an insanely powerful Atlantean warship was lost thirty five years ago with all hands, and now it is a part of this huge rogue fleet. What??? Pretty sure it is our policy to recover, say, the missiles aboard sunken nuclear submarines and such. I really want to know what happened to this ship that made it unrecoverable despite all of their tech?
Arthur looks like a terrible king here, too, insisting that his own people allow themselves to be murdered before firing upon the Americans who have literally declared war. And of course the Justice League show up at the end to make the Throne of Atlantis comparisons inescapable.
Also in this issue we meet a covert special ops unit called the Aquamarines and I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be a joke
Also in this issue Aquaman makes a casual racist joke to his fiancee and she looks at him like he just slapped her

I got that a few days ago. I put together a Shaman (Morgul, naturally) Muloc deck with Send in the Finishers and Everyfin is Awesome and it's the most fun I've had with Hearthstone so far.
It only works if you get good draws, but I won three or four games in round 5.
I'm about 13 hours in, but I've been doing side quests for so long that I completely forgot that there were chapters.
As for comics I'm trying a thing where I put all the books I would normally buy into the shopping cart, and then putting all but two into my wishlist to be bought when they're on sale. Today's picks were Unworthy Thor and WicDiv. Hopefully this helps scratch my comic itch without spending all my money.

Will you try to get one of the JLA pages from the Killer Frost or Vixen issues or try to get a Epting page from Batwoman next year?
I believe that's #1

Cable creative team announced. James Robinson and Carlos Pacheco. Plot is Cable trying to fix time(can he go and kill the O5?) which is like the 5th time this "mission" has happened since AoU it feels like.
I hope the villain is beast. This sounds cool so I'm in.
