I've read that and seemed to have forgotten that. Might be the year to revisit the OG Alias run.
I didn't realize that. Makes a lot of sense.

Pffft. By far their biggest offense is continuing to sit on the final issues of Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wait are they actually sitting on them? I thought Hickman never finished it

We even got art from the artist a few months ago with a "This has been done for years now. Put the issues out Marvel, I'm tired of being asked when its coming out." comment.

My guess is that it's not a priority for Marvel at this point. They obviously need to do a full re-release to catch new readers up with the series. I wish they would at least release the old stuff digitally.

Motor Crush #1. Masterpiece. Stylistic as fuck, crazy action sequences, and the perfect balance of setting the stage and hitting 9,000 RPM in the same issue. Love everything about this first issue.
Moonshine #1-3. S'okay. I expected more from the central concept. I'm not even sure where they can go from here, since it doesn't seem like there's much story to build off. I guess you could say the same about 100 Bullets, though. I'll stick with it to see if there's a twist or some new rules to this universe.
Death of Hawkman #1-3. What the fuck is this book even? Just incredibly dumb and inconsequential. I read all three issues so far and can't even explain why.

Or it's just a reference to how she looked in that Alias run:
Which does actually explain why they look similar and have similar names to begin with

I love the art, but there's something about the story that hasn't fully grabbed me yet.

They also don't have Hickman on board doing books with them so they have no reason to even want to put it out quickly.
We're more likely to get a LoSH book from him than the last two issues from Marvel.
Gwenpool is very funny and very sad at times. Love the book.

I kinda like McClaren but i don't get why they wanted her as the follow up to Campbell given the drastically different style. it seems ill-fitting
trust me fam Red Hood is best thing popping right now in cape books. Easily better than Batman, nightwing, and batgirl.
Could they possibly be scammers?

I remember this, I thought they finished sending out the books this year but nope, looked at the KS page and there's some angry comments from this week! I don't think they should've been cut for the deleted tweets but they strike me as generally unprofessional
then again, it's not like that stopped Liefeld, who has an unfulfilled 3-year old KS and still has a OGN from Marvel next year (that i will probably still buy!)
Many people did get their books. They're probably just shitty businesspeople (also during the 4 years they had a kid and a cross country move) and i think the book wasn't done before the Kickstarter was funded, which often leads to problems 'cause they're rarely finished by the promised date
Though I think Dillon has a history of unfulfilled commissions, too
Well then she should hop over to Image where the schedule is much more manageable.
She's probably just going to stick with covers.

Nope. Opinions and all that, but the mere fact that you're listing Batman and Batgirl like they're somewhere near the top doesn't help your case. I don't think most of GAF will even agree with you on it being better than Batman, although I'm fine with it. That's not saying much. Batman is a mess. Sad!
Invincible is on the market. Daredevil and Sam Wilson release. In Rebirth alone, you've got Superman, Deathstroke, Green Arrow, and Nightwing. Detective Comics?
We should vote in a tier list for cape books. Red Hood is cruising in the low C/high D realm. I like it more than Harley Quinn.
yea I don't care about your opinion enough to argue over it. you know opinions and all
edit: I said it was the best bat book in my original post with reasons why in my first post XD
going to wait for the the little relaunch they are doing with elektra and kingpin.(bullseye too)
The most recent arc has been really cool. Good villain.
Wait.. That's our Ed tweeting in the middle of that story lol

That's a totally different pool of books. I responded to the best cape book claim. You're still completely wrong in my book, but that's easier to justify. For me there's only two legitimately decent Bat books right now in Nightwing and Detective. Detective is losing me with this new arc.
Daredevil is great. I'm as shocked as anyone. Legitimately one of the best superhero comics of the last decade, though. Bendis, Brubaker, Waid...now Soule?
Lol I can't

Best thing in cape books, more specifically Nightwing? Now you've lost me. I'll buy that it's better than the previous Lobdell RH books. In fact, I'll even pick uo the first trade, but I'm not going to take your word that it's better than my favorite superhero books ongoing right now. My bias is too strong for your bias

Don't worry. He meant something completely different that you were supposed to infer.
Meanwhile, I'm over here reading Invincible like, "What?!?"
To be fair the book is just starting but it is already on the same level as other great cape/team books. Night wing took a fair amount issues for me to put it above average and this coming from a dick Grayson Stan.
I think detective comics had the best first arc from rebirth but red hood is rapidly gaining.
Other great books took a bit to ramp up but red hood comes out blazing.
If red hood nails the conclusion I will probably put it at the same level as detective, Thor, cap, and the other greats.
But trust fam I didn't want to believe that this book was good but everyone was right it is worth reading.
Also vanwrinkle don't skip the rebirth issue. So good
^I read it, flow. It was great.
It's way better than his New 52 stuff, if only because it shows that he's actually a pretty good writer when characterization and tone are right. I'm very impressed.
Tragicomedy is way too harsh with his opinion on books, IMO. You definitely should try it.

I keep saying this
Read all of Dark Art, it's the best DD arc in years
Edit: I would try Red Hood if it didn't star a character I really, really wish was still dead
Right! I feel like Lobdell and Percy are the most improved writers of the year, at least over at DC.
I haven't liked red hood this much since the animated movie.
Edit: Artemis is such a boss character

I didn't think the San Francisco part of that book lived up to the first half

I think you guys are a little too hard on Green Lanterns. This book is alright, although I'm mainly into Jessica.

actually, from looking at the writer's timeline, i'd say that, while both not professional, the artist leaving the writer hanging and not communicating while taking another job is worse than the writer subtweeting about it
I hate that i'm posting so much about professionalism in comics today!!

I admit I have found her a compelling character when I have been exposed to her, in Darkseid War and the holiday special (she was the only good thing about the latter story).
I just don't think I will ever buy a Green Lantern book again

Johns' shadow still looms large over the entire franchise.
I would like them to move away from some of the spectrum stuff. Everything after Johns has felt redundant because of that. Even the crossovers are like "Character X is a Blue Lantern now! Isn't that wacky?"

Would you go so far to say I'm the anti-Birdie?
There's enough mellifluous praise in the industry already. You can barely even find negative reviews. It's even worse than online video game reviews. I'll gladly carry the torch and call a shitty book shitty. Everything is not 8s and 9s. Most of what I read is a 4-6...you know, average.
A couple Rebirth books are in the 7-8 range, and that's pretty damn good. Red Hood is generously a 5.
