Yeah, the pencil version of the cover was super meh. Lee is very reliant on his inker. One of the reasons I don't hold Lee as an artist in super high regard like most others.

Wasn't Black Hand in the Source Wall? Could be interesting having him on a team that fears getting their heads blown off I suppose.
He's only worked well on covers and pinups, his interior art and designs are awful.

Real talk: His drawings of Gotham in Hush got me back into DC comics.

Ivy deserves better than this.
I'm betting on either her or Talon to die first.

He's Daniel Allen as well. I generally liked the new Flash run in the beginning but they seriously mis-stepped with the Reverse Flash stuff.

This is like the only time I'm going to defend Jim Lee, but I really like that cover. Love the WW2 pamphlet feel to it and think the image is perfect for what the book is. I'm looking forward to this issue because even if the art isn't as great as previous Multiversity standards, the concept alone is fucking awesome, and each issue of Multiversity has been stellar.

I actually hadn't read that text but yes, that's really dumb.
I'm sure there will be some text at the end of the story where the villains defeat ISIS and say something like, "WE'RE VILLAINS BUT WE'RE NOT THAT BAD!"
I love the imagery, and the idea is real smart, but, man, those pencils looked like shit.
Harley Quinn interacting with terrorists sounds like pure cringe.
It's awful N52 Reverse Flash from Booch/Manapul. It's
Iris West's brother
God, other than the Grodd story, that run was terrible.
Whelp, just read Spiderwoman 4 and AMS 14.
Spiderwoman was pretty bad, both in visuals and dialouge, but its Hopeless/Land, so my very low expectations were met.
As for AMS: It actually wasn't that bad as I though it would be,

no Spider's died, All the Inheritors got sent to the radiation world, and I got the opportunity to see SpiderHam naked, so......yeah. Still, it kind of abruptly ends, and I probably need to read the epilogue if I want an actual conclusion.

My hopes were so high for that run, man. For like the first four issues, I'd open the floppy up excitedly, see the clever title page and Manapul's awesome art, but then I'd just be sucked down into the septic tank that is Boochstilleto's writing.

I've touched on a bit what I think of Lee's work in the past. He's really good at drawing certain things like splash pages and static poses. He's pretty consistent and his background are rarely sparse so he has all that going on for him.
But he's not really an interesting storyteller, his characters lack emotional range, his compositions are meh, and his style hasn't changed all that much for how long he's been around. I feel like I could name about 50 artists I think are better at the language of comics and are at least matched on drawing skill, so I wish other artists got half as much recognition or popularity as Lee gets.
I mean, he placed 6th on CBR's top 50 artists. Ahead of JH Williams and Mazzuchelli....
They won't kill Ivy.

Meh. That was all Nekron in the end, anyway. Black Hand was just a groupie.
Oh man I can't wait. It's going to blow my mind and change the way I look at life the way Gorilla did. I'm sure of that.
Wow, that cover sucks. I love covers that are throwbacks to, like, stone age comics, with dumb and charming dialogue that's supposed to make you interested in the issue, but that picture frame is GROSS.
Do we know if DC is reprinting all of Simone's Secret Six? The first trade hits today, right? I might get on that, it's supposed to be one of the classic modern runs I think. Anybody want to sell me on it?
Also, Chris Sims seems to be really into Gotham Academy: http://comicsalliance.com/if-youre-not-reading-gotham-academy-then-we-can-never-be-friends/ (I know it's old). Bought the first issue, I value this dude's opinions and love his writing.
I'm debating with myself whether I should check out Vader #1 on Comixology but damn, that price is killing me. 4,49 euros is like 20 polish bux :<
Vader tho :<<<
Speaking of Star Wars, I was lucky that I was produced by the people I was produced by. My parents really liked Star Wars and so the first time I saw the original trilogy was around 1997 when I was three. After that I could spend days watching those movies over and over. I also remember being quite disappointed when The Phantom Menace came out, lol. Darth Maul was nowhere close to Vader, there was no one as cool as Han or Luke.
But yeah, there are a lot of young people here who haven't seen Star Wars and don't really intend to. The sad thing is it's mostly girls :/ That's not surprising though, Poles are rather (pop-)culturally illiterate. I blame communism and shiz.
Younger kids know the universe mostly thanks to the cartoons that aired on Cartoon Network which I think might be a good thing. Hopefully Episode VII delivers and is a Star Wars movie worthy of today, for both the new and old generations of fans.

I like Suicide Squad but maybe it shouldn't have launched with the New 52. It's better when there actually is a pool of random D-listers that are sittng around doing nothing to use, you don't have to resort to putting fuckin Black Hand or Black Manta on the team
they should have Ales Kot write a Suicide Squad book, I imagine it'll be a cool long run and they won't take him off after 4 issues of the most readable Suicide Squad book in years

Damn, remember when his first (and pretty much last) issue dropped and everybody was excited for Suicide Squad again? Good thing DC burned that bridge right-quick.
DC editorial environment wasn't to his liking MB?
I hear it's a shit show of epic proportions and not really conducive to keeping talent. Probably why Lemire is doing Marvel work now.
First of all, that's a lie. Second of all, it's something the film industry has been trying to replicate ever since.
Have we talked about how our bud Kipp is good people?
Kipp, you're good people.
Sucks that other people aren't sometimes.
I could have had two hundred kippbucks and I didn't even ask.

Reverse Flash, apparently.
He did just raise an army made of everything that ever touched the source wall and destroyed New Genesis with them.
This is still super slumming it. Johns made Black Hand way too powerful to be anything other than an event villain.
