it's fucked up how DC will kick you out for being mildly critical while Eddie Berganza will be the editor of the Superman books until the day he dies, but also

you have to be a super dipshit to not get why DC would fast-track another volume of Wonder Woman Earth One by Grant goddamn Morrison and Yannick Paquette, whatever qualms with the books you may have
Click to expand...
At least DC has a sort of vaild reason for Berganza: they can't fire him unless he does something bad again since he went on some course from WB as punishment. Can't fire him without valid reason unless they want to get sued.

Jessica Jones #3 is the most Bendis comic

Practically the entire issue is one long conversation involving three people and while it's enjoyable to read, the story doesn't move forward much

Two of those characters are Bendis characters, the third is a D-lister who is present to be the butt of jokes

The antagonist is cagey about her identity, but the cover seems to give away where this is going. We'll see

Gaydos/Hollingsworth with a cover by David Mack

Not that any of this is bad necessarily. Except my third point I guess but I could be wrong. Still a good comic.

If it was me, I'd probably take that chance. Every time DC does something that people don't agree with, somehow Eddie Berganza is gonna be brought back up. Plus it's keeping female writers from the Superman titles.

Wonder if there will be a Viz or Kodansha sale on comixology for the end of the year. I'd really like to jump out of buying physical for manga outside of buying JoJo, Gundam and the odd Vertical release.

I think there had to have been bigger problems behind the scenes with this creative team than anyone on either side is telling us about. It's not a matter of having a bunch of other Wonder Woman stuff going on; that may have made it an easier decision but I doubt it was a major factor. At the end of the day DC is a business and they have tremendous incentives to push the shit out of Wonder Woman right now. It makes no sense, business-wise, to publish the first volume of an award-winning Wonder Woman series in hardcover and then immediately cancel the series. It is indeed a palpable loss so I can't imagine the sniping on twitter was the only thing on their list.

Everybody loses. The creators lose, the fans lose, DC lose. It sucks.

Might be something to this, since I think the Comicsbeat article said that the tweets and the Mary Sue article were only the "tip of the iceberg".

From what I read she serviced clients who wanted to be cut. Marvel seemed very vague if anything went on beyond that. But then I never read the OG X-23 stuff.

It's only $45. But be warned, the quality on that series isn't exactly stellar.

Man, why'd they have to get Jim Lee to do the Harry Potter comic? Could you imagine how awesome a Rob Liefield illustrated HP would be? What a missed opportunity.

They are shipping it from Washington, that's so far away I always assume they mean d.c. But then no, it's the state.

Oh nice, Fawkes is taking another shot at a monthly at Image. The last one looked interesting but seemed completely impenetrable to most reviewers. Not got to it myself because it finished up after the one volume, but interested. Lemire starts a new ongoing drawn himself. Nice to see Headlopper continue. A good looking month!

Intersect was amazing to look at, but weird as shit. I think I dropped it after three issues.

Haha, I think this is the trajectory almost everyone followed with the book! I think it's cool he just shot for the moon on whatever he was feeling and satisfied himself artistically but it clearly didn't work for actual readers of his work. The previews did look consistently fantastic though and I'll like to get around to picking it up for that reason. You've got to think he's made something just a little more commercial this time, for lack of a better word. I actually hadn't heard anything about the new book though, is there stuff out there on it or is this is being announced pretty much?

I just never got into Telltale games, no real reason why. I just always think "next time" but then the next one passes and I start again hah. Would like to try GoT one day.

They are all of varying degrees of quality in writing and performance but GoT s easily the worst I've tried. I'd like to give Batman a go and hopefully Guardians turns out all right.

68. Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum’s “X-Men


oh shit this is about to be one hell of a interesting list.

for those of you who don't know Claremont's run was in the top 10 4 years ago.
Click to expand...

The "Claremont's run" that was top 10 in 2012 is from post-John Byrne up into X-Men #1-3 when he left in '91. This Cockrum is basically the original run of issues before John Byrne, so I wonder if like "Pre-Byrne Claremont/Cockrum - Claremont/Byrne - Claremont post-Byrne" like it was in 2012, or they're just separating all the "eras" like Romita Jr, Paul Smith, Silvestri, Jim Lee, etc
