Lake of Fire is really rad. I wish it had been longer. Felt a bit rushed to wrap up in five.

They had to rebuild a good portion of the game from when it was Final Fantasy Versus XIII, so it was kind of a rush-job. If they let Tetsuya Nomura follow his original vision, this game still wouldn't be out. See Kingdom Hearts III.
That's probably because the Inhumans are better and more interesting than the X-Men.
The Goddamned vol 1: I judge books partly based on whether they are a struggle to finish or not and then how i feel about it after reading. Breezed through this volume, but it left me thinking i'd read through a violent spectacle that i'm now moving on from instead of something i'm engrossed in that i want more of. Random 6/10.

Context doesn't help as much as you think. It's the problem with gif posts. Like, were you agreeing? Empathizing? Trash talking?
I've also read a lot of Inhumans. You'll get no hate from me

Done at work for the day. Missed Eurovision. Did manage to grab free tickets to La La Land and The Handmaiden later this week though. We're going to hold the press showings for The LEGO Batman Movie on monday(both dubbed and subbed. Will probably watch it with my little sister next saturday.

Hulk #2
Another strong issue. Decidedly darker than the last, and an even deeper insight into Jen's trigger. We also get more development into this eviction storyline which is...it's whatever. Some weird supervillain story that I, quite frankly, don't care about. Otherwise still good. Very emotionally touching.
The Unstoppable Wasp #2
I liked this issue better than the first. It wasn't "OMG EVERYTHING IS TOTES ADORBZ" vibe that I got from the first issue. A bit more, I dunno, real, I guess? Something to it. As a result, I enjoyed this more. The Moon Girl push...I'm not fond of it, but I'll get over it. I like Tatiana and Miranda. They're cool. Also all the jokes regarding the Pym family were hilarious. The answering machine in particular. I'll check out the next issue.

I'll never love Neegan
after what he did to Glenn, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy him. But, man, wait til Maggie finds out he's been roaming free.

I love Negan precisely because of that.
I tried to read this guys
I know its probably the most influential superhero comic ever, besides maybe Watchmen
but its sooooooo dated compared to Watchmen
Batman Year One has aged waaaaaaay better.
I don't think its that....its just a very "80s" comic in a way, you sort of had to understand the context of the time to enjoy it
While Watchmen is an "80s" comic as well, its aged alot better than DKR

Is Year One even in continuity after New 52?
I believe so. I read somewhere that a recent issue of Batman showed flashback images to Year One. I haven't confirmed that myself.

I don't think it was ever canon, considering the stuff with Selina.
Zero Year is better anyway.
Not exactly. Batman and Catwoman's meetings are similiar to what happened in Year One, but Zero Year is still the functioning Batman origin story.
Ooh, okay. Thanks for that info.

Zero Year looked nice but it's no Year One.
He's not wrong
Has it been stated the Riri smarter than Tony. Otherwise Pretty sure Doom is still the smartest except for Moon Girl depending how serious is the smartest person on earth thing is and whether the writers except it..

Enigma is a better superhero deconstruction than Watchmen and also a better comic

I heard Watchmen ruined DC comics for thirty years
Didn't enjoy it. I struggle with old style comics. Art especially.

See, when I think of "old style comics" I'm thinking of Stan Lee. Does it all just sort of blend together for you?
I like Watchmen decently enough, but I agree. It might have to do with me reading it in ~2007/2008 though.
Alot of it does yeah.
To Tom King and Grant Morrison it's canon.
I have to say i'm kind of the same way with Messi at times though i love reading some the 90s vertigo stuff but past that except with the occasional stuff like ostrander's suicide squad i prefer modern that probably due to age and being exposed to modern comics at a young age or i am a pleb.
I mean, I still enjoy Watchmen as a comic. Wouldn't be among my top all-time favorites, though.
Florida, why you gotta embarrass me?

Yet another person went out of their way to call out Spencer on twitter saying they dropped both Captain America books because they deal with politics and he doesn't want that in his comics. Now he has people complaining about the books lean too much to the left again and saying the left villians don't count.
People only complain about politics in media when their group isn't the one getting the positive focus and sometimes see things that aren't there.
