Pffft. And I thought it was ridiculous when they were triple-shipping it.

Love this cover for The Visitor, popped up on my facebook feed:
Really striking.
What's this about Lemire heading back to DC? Just speculation or is it happening? Problem is outside of one or two major successes, a lot of his stuff at DC was a misfire. Fantastic writer but doesn't fit all that well unless given the *right* project. I would accept a fair part of the problem was a lack of decision from him/DC of what to work on after Animal man though. JLD & Constantine were so short lived after making big deals about leaving other books to do them. JLU too I guess, although I didn't read that one.

Completely agree, Peter Parker Spider-Man is in like four monthlies, and it's not enough. But really all I want is twice a month ASM, and shorter arcs.
Dan Slott actually writes short arcs compared to most other modern writers.

You'd like BPRD a lot, especially the Ashley Strode stuff imo
I struggled hard with the very first volume of Hellboy years ago and bailed.
Okay, so I'm not going to get any use out of my Image Comixology 60% off code thing right now, so I may as well throw it out to you guys. (Was going to get the latest two issues of Deadly Class and then check what other odds and ends I needed, but then I saw that it's only for stuff released before 2017, which makes sense. In theory I could cobble together an order and maybe grab a handful of things, but the code runs out fairly soon and it's not like I can't just hold off for the next Image sale).
So yeah, first come, first serve I guess. Tried to use that email tag thing that's supposed to hide it from non-members, but haven't done that ever before, so my bad if I screwed anything up on that.

Same reason why Waid is staying in Marvel like a roommate.

He posted another tweet saying that they have amazing creators doing great work, with his issue being management related.

No love for Berganza personally, but I wouldn't describe their overall current work as a choke job lol
I was going to post a shitty comment about delays and stuff but it feels wrong to. Nice of them to do this. Forever is awesome. Good to see it being 100% donation.

Even as a big fan for its place in the grander scheme of things and as a story, I'd be the first to admit the first book is pretty different in terms of writing style since Byrne scripts and you can tell even Mig hasn't gotten fully comfortable yet (although there is some really striking stuff towards the end). It's not the best and the Nazi stuff is a fun part of Hellboy but not the core thing in my mind.
It's never easy to recommend stuff while also saying at the same time you might need to slog through a little first but after vol 1 and vol 2 where Mig actually does the whole thing himself for the first time writing wise Imo it reaaaally gets going at volume 3. The chained coffin and the iron shoes always felt to me where HB started to tap into the folklorish feel that ends up defining the book. HB visiting Ireland, rambling around and finding trouble in unlikely places, and the mighty Dave Stewart completing the puzzle.
Totally agree that you might dig the Bprd though, Arcudi is stellar with the characters.

It would be nice to get Cull finished. It left off with such an intense cliffhanger.
Yup. I wouldn't mind if they needed time once the arc finishes. But leaving it where they did is cruel :/

I can not agree with this enough.
That is a beautiful cover.
Hey Roger, wanna see a dead alien...?
I also agree that Messi would really dig BPRD.
She is the star
It doesn't seem smart to burn bridges in an industry with 2 - 3 major companies. Also, it's funny that he's mentioning returns when Marvel has been over-shipping like mad in recent months.

Edit: Oh this is a lot of volumes...
this is the perfect post, pause, edit, maybe ever.
Extremely well.

She is, but Hellboy is really the star of his book. She's a major character in BPRD though and gets a lot of focus there.

Fuuuuuuuck. Thought I missed something. Was playing Nioh.
You missed the most fun episode yet. I recorded it because I was at John Wick 2.

It'll be up On Demand in the next day or so. I'll catch it then.
Why not clark
Wouldn't be as obvious I guess.
I feel like that is just asking for teasing and possibly bullying.
You want your kid growing up licking goats
Somebody's gotta do it. It might as well be my hellspawn.
Seriously though, as a teacher I cannot place enough emphasis on not naming your kid something stupid.
They will be bullied.
Name him Jack Kirby instead. He will forever be a badass then.
I cannot wait for Brubaker's TV show, it's going to be fun. Ed is too good for Marvel but I still want him back haha.

Jessica Jones and Infamous Iron Man are books that are top tier Bendis.
So yes, pick that shit up. And if you like that, you should go back and read Alias. It's THE Jessica Jones book, by the same creative team (assuming you haven't read it).

Single-character Bendis is the best Bendis.
