one more. Whos the artist on Gold anyway, these are nice



You mean the Inhumans? Blackbolt, Medusa, Crystal and Gorgon. Im not sure who the others are. Black kid could be that dude that controls rocks, the silver haired guy looks like Quicksilver but they didnt retcon him into being a inhuman right? No idea who the tail lady is

Ardian Syaf is the artist and designed the costumes.

The other characters featured in the Royals art are Flint, Swain, and Marvel Boy.

 

[Rhaknar]

oh their bringing Marvel Boy back? and I was right on Flint then, cool

 

[MHWilliams]

I really liked Inhumans vs X-Men #1. But I gotta say, as someone who skipped the entire Death of X stupidity, it feels like Old Man Logan deconstructed this entire storyline in one panel. Like WTF, who in their right mind would be with the Inhumans on any of this?

I've never gotten that. "Death cloud in the atmosphere" is a villain plot. The Avengers should be on deck, or at the very least, not friendly about it.

But nothing. It's mystifying.

I'm not feeling the ReX outfits. Too old. No flavor.

Why would they care?

 

[Hagi]

They should bring the jackets back. Reading Morrisons run right now and I like the look and the justification for them.

Why would they care?

You'd think they would give a shit about a giant cloud that is killing their friends and transforming people into who knows what seemingly at random.

 

[La Maquinon]

I've only read Clean Room up through issue 7, but I loved it. But I also don't like Rebirth Superman so who even knows with me.

 

[MHWilliams]

literally claremonts outfits.

Yeah. Nightcrawler and Colossus's Extraordinary looks are ace. This? Eh.

Why would they care?

At this point the X-Men are their friends and colleagues?

Again, drop this same concept from anyone else than the Inhuman Royal family... it's a straight up villain plot. "We want to make people better and whole so we gassed the planet with a cloud that kills some people." That's the stuff the High Evolutionary gets punched for.

 

[PsychBat!]

Why would they care?

you should add an "lol" at the end of your sentence for no reason.

I just don't see the Avengers jumping in to help in any significant way. Uncanny Avengers covered how they have tried to help, but to me the Avengers have never come off as a group that will put their all into helping the mutants unless it will affect everyone else.

Catching up on MTME

The characters all being mechanical lets Roberts gets away with some brutal shit.

 

[Messi]

I am fully aware of what you think I am doing, but I am not. Watch in awe as I do not mention him again at least until January.

You could just never mention him again as he has little to nothing to do with comics other than picking up Rat Queens royalty checks.

Adrian Syaf is the Gold artist.

Jorge Molina is the Blue artist. That book is gonna be beautiful

 

[Freezasaurus]

I bring him up purely as a frame of reference in regards to awful people.

Not sure I've heard of Syaf. Can you name specific examples of both artists works to jog my memory?

Molina = A Force secret wars and the star wars storm troopers arc

Syaf = First arc of Simone Batgirl

 

[Brian Fellows]

kinda into that Rachel desgin with this artist

Yeah she looks good.

 

[Messi]

Will Emma ever be the white queen again

 

[Freezasaurus]

I recall Syaf being solid. Molina, though... straight-up HHHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG-tier.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Oh lordy I hope so. Is IvX 100% worth reading? All this talk is making me really curious.

 

[Sandfox]

#0 and the first issue were good at least.

 

[Messi]

Yes

Emma's in it so yea

 

[Rhaknar]

Is IvX also a flashback deal or is it present time. I ask because Emma is in it.

Present time.

 

[Boogiepop]

I mean, you still have to get over the dumb basic premise of it being about the death cloud, but yeah. I enjoyed them, at least.

 

[Messi]

Jen Bartell Sombra WIP. Dem lines.

Yeah, not even factoring in the crazy inconsistencies on Cyclops being a monster (ummmmm, he did exactly what everyone should have done), there is zero reason anyone should support the Inhumans here. It's mind boggling how artificial this conflict feels, even by cape book standards.

 

[Lashley]

Oh lordy I hope so. Is IvX 100% worth reading? All this talk is making me really curious.

Yes

 

[Ross61]

Why did people hate New 52 Superman again? I only read Pak and John's and Morrison's run and he seemed like a great character too me.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Can I start with IvX #1 or do I need #0 too? I really don't want to spend $11 on 2 books.

#0

 

[mreddie]

When is the 3rd best Inhuman coming back?

 

[Sandfox]

When is the 3rd best Inhuman coming back?

Yeah, I'm surprised she isn't in a book. Watch her get killed off or something.

 

[Freezasaurus]

When is the 3rd best Inhuman coming back?

Still would.

 

[Messi]

Medusa, Kamala , Crystal, Black Bolt... After that the rest are almost meaningless. Really the only one who matters is Medusa

 

[ViewtifulJC]

only time I like the Inhumans is when Frazier Irving draws them

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Christmas presents for my sisters. I hope they like them.

 

[mreddie]

Medusa, Kamala , Crystal, Black Bolt... After that the rest are almost meaningless. Really the only one who matters is Medusa

Don't forget Moon Girl.

But yeah, I expected them all to fade away like the Initiative/Academy/New Warriors

 

[Sandfox]

You guys are forgetting about Lockjaw. The Pet Avengers need to return now that Jonathan is a thing.

 

[Messi]

Don't forget Moon Girl.

But yeah, I expected them all to fade away like the Initiative/Academy/New Warriors

Moon Girl could disappear tomorrow and not many people would notice. I say this as someone who loves the book.

 

[BKatastrophe]

That Royals line up looks solid. Excited for that
Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal, Flint, Swain, Quicksliver, and Gorgon look like a solid team. Interesting that they'd bring Quicksilver back into the fold. He hasn't stood on good ground with the Royal Family really ever, but it became irreparable after Son of M.

Unless that isn't Quicksilver

Man, I'm sort of excited for this.

Can anyone tell me why that ST timeline is called "the Kelvin timeline"?

Edit: Shit, I think I figured out who Fake!Clark Kent is in Action Comics thanks to those connected covers:

Spoiler

That bloody S. He's Superboy Prime.

Called that shit since day one

Inside Rebirth:
http://www.vulture.com/2016/12/dc-comics-rebirth-turnaround.html

I love this shit.

ACTUAL comics journalism.

That part about bringing Percy in and breaking everything essential to Green Arrow sound amazing. Based Geoff Johns

literally claremonts outfits.

Which is why they're boring and why the new X line isn't exciting: same shit. We've seen it before. Some of the solos and Blue seem interesting, but even then I'm not exactly excited.

 

[Phamit]

Heh, did they Change the preview text for Civil War II: The Oath?

The new Text says

Spoiler

Carol Danvers turns to the one person she knows she can trust – Steve Rogers. Only…Steve might not be as trustworthy as she thought

http://www.newsarama.com/32408-captain-america-takes-charge-after-civil-war-ii-in-the-oath.html

I remember that the original text said that

Spoiler

Toni and Carol would turn to Steve

Well probably everyone figured out what's going to happen at the end of CWII, question is when marvel is going to spoil how it happens

Blue looks like the worst of the bunch.

Nice. I bought my niece Wonder Woman's shield this morning.

They used to call me on my cellphone.

Why did people hate New 52 Superman again? I only read Pak and John's and Morrison's run and he seemed like a great character too me.

People disliked him because of all the main heroes post-Flashpoint, he was clearly the most changed.

Plus he spent like a year under Lobdel's pen.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Blue looks like the worst of the bunch.

I'm not particularly excited for Bunn's writing, but the premise certainly piques curiosity. Bunn's writing may be dreadfully plain (based on Uncanny X-Men, Civil War 2: X-Men, and Fearless Defenders), but he has some solid ideas at the very least. Blue seems like the closest to being an actually interesting and fresh idea. Gold seems like a Claremont retread, Cable, Jean Grey, and Iceman seem exactly like what I'd expect from these characters and Weapon X seems like it'll be a solid X-Force series. Pak gets praise (though I've never read anything by him), and if Land can at least put out the surprisingly solid work he did for Ewing's Mighty Avengers then I'm game.

 

[Ross61]

If they willingly bought a Scott Lobdel comic they have no one to blame but themselves.

Hatchi-matchi, that looks great. Has Bartel ever done interiors on anything or is she just a cover/pin-up artist.

 

[MHWilliams]

Why did people hate New 52 Superman again? I only read Pak and John's and Morrison's run and he seemed like a great character too me.

Other than Morrison, it was George Perez and Scott Lobdell.

New 52 Superman was a great idea. I've said this before, but the problem we have and still have with Superman is he's too good, shining, and pure. There was no real room for him to grow.

New 52 Superman was good because he clearly wanted to be that guy, but he was rougher around the edges. He kinda loved a good scrap.

We wanted to do good, but didn't quite have the answer on how he was supposed to do that.

He was flawed. And that's why I loved him under the pen of a good writer.

I still retain the same problems with the reborn Superman, but the focus of the book (Superman, I don't read Action Comics) is his relationship with his son. Tomasi can write the fuck out of some father/son stuff. I also enjoyed the Justice League not quite trusting the new guy, because if you had a friend, he died, and an older copy of your friend replaced him? You'd be weird too. I think there's mileage in that, but I feel like they're going to drop it pretty quickly.
