I like his Iron Fist stuff a whole lot more than Hawkeye
You've never read Flashpoint have you? The only event that actually changed shit.

Some people get comics weekly, some monthly. You can't assume everyone will have read them by the end of the day. Nor should they have to avoid the thread for a month.
Or maybe just use spoiler tags when discussing brand new books, it's not that hard.
I'm just surprised they did this in the FIRST ISSUE. Just...LOL.
thisssssssssss. I get them monthly, and though i don't think the world revolves around me however awesome it would be if it did, that doesn't mean people should spoil books left and right. If you want to have a thread about Spider-Man shenanigans spoiling everything, then you guys can do that.

He kinda had to.
Waiting a full month for unspoilered discussion is not exactly a great middle ground.
Of course, I recognize that this is tricky - it's not like a TV series thread, where there's just one "thing" to catch up with.

For now.
Nah I think Flashpoint/DCNu is one of the few that is going to stick in the long run. That's pretty rare though.

Flashpoint is gonna stick until the next DC reboot in 2020 or some shit
Aja is too weird on Hawkeye for me. I'll just leave it that. The covers are cool.
Regarding spoilers, yes it's a great idea to expect everyone to spoiler tags for at least a day but it really should be a week. People have different schedules and some of us have that period in the month were we can't afford it until the next paycheck.
Me personally though, If I get spoiled whatever. If it's really important to me wether it's a movie or a comic book, I tend to not even visit the thread if I'm worried about getting spoiled. I used this judgement on the Dark Knight Rises, Avengers and Django threads. Or I read very very slowly on here. I mean that jerk Viewtiful told me about UXF
Man that guy is a jerk amirite? hehe

Fantomex was gonna die in UXF #30 before I got back into comics.

Got caught up on Saga and Locke & Key Omega. So good. Saga finally took off for me in issue 7, and I'm glad Rufus is getting some page time in L&K finally.
Started reading Hawkeye too, good stuff. Clint kinda reminds me of Kyle Hyde from Hotel Dusk

It's cool bro. I'm sure I've got no friends here with all the stupid opinions I have on practically everything so I won't judge you for thinking ill of what I consider a perfect artist. Anybody catch the letters page at the end of Iron Man 5? Some motherfucker called Greg Land his #1 artist. I nearly cried tears of sadness, like for real. If that guy's wack opinions are allowed to exist unchecked in the world it's kind of hard to persecute anybody for liking anything.
Ok. See this right here,
If folks like it, I understand. All good. But me personally, I think it sucks. Dick Tracy artwork was cool in the 50's. We can all agree that art is subjective just like Music or Film.
And being that we are not in a Community thread, i think even silly off the cuff insults like me being a dipshit don't really have place in this thread. We're all just chilling and discussing comics. And you know I love you anyways.

People getting down on Aja's art?
Makes me sad but I can see if you find his clean and simple style boring, then it can be kinda dull.
I prefer it being as it is because it doesn't detract as when I read. I hate panels that are super busy and/or are overly colorful. Understated color palette + Aja's style = me a happy camper.

While I agree, no one should be called dipshit, those panels are gorgeous.
Pretty excited to not have to buy it anymore after next month.
We'll always have issue 13 though.

Yeah, X-Men Legacy is turning out to be the sleeper hit of Marvel NOW. It has Chamber! God bless Jono Starsmore.

I dig Aja's work too. What you described is what Fiona Staples expressed as the reasoning behind her similarly reductive style, it just flows better and doesn't interfere with the pacing of the story as your eye gets drawn to and lingers on these super detailed panels

50's art?
ya okay bro
Don't worry brah, some ppl like lumpy mashed potato faced frank quitely. different strokes.

Cool and I agree with her statement. For me, I love visuals that work and flow with my narrative versus hyperactive/overly colored panels that tries to cover up poor narrative. I mean, I love my cape books (both Avengers & AXM are in my current pull list) but Hickman's style works with Opena's art and Bendis' current narrative is keeping me engaged while the art is complimentary.
At the same time, visually, Hawkguy is totally a breath of fresh air just like IIF was.
50's art?
ya okay bro
Clipped from a 50s comic strip and inserted as a panel. The 50's. As Common once rapped "If I don't like it, I don't like it, doesn't mean that I'm hatin' "
This comic deserves the praise I'ts getting. I just don't like the art, but I completely understand the art works for it and what the book is trying to convey. That's all

I'll probably pick up #2-4 with my other stuff. I definitely liked #1 so I'll see how this goes for now.
Sorry I don't think you're a dipshit. It was just a dipshitty thing to do. If I cited that old Sandman page from before as a reason I don't like current Bachalo that would be dipshitty of me and wouldn't take it personally if someone said I was a dipshit.
Long story short, no hard feelings and I think we should hug it out.
Yeah man sniff sniff. But I think we can all agree that Viewtiful is still a jerk though. JK

Star Wars had some really nice paper. damn
The new one that just came out? The dudes are doing a signing by my house this week.
Get yourself a Brian Wood sig! I really don't know if I want that SW comic. On the one hand I'm a fucking stupidly huge SW fan but I really don't think I want some weird side stories in the middle of episodes four and five.
*sigh* I'll probably buy it anyway. It's the last Dark Horse SW series after all.
Doesn't mean it can't be good while it lasts...
my favorite marvel now book by far. aaron and ribic are killing it.

No he didn't. We literally got one issue, Avenging Spider-Man #15,
with Ock as Spider-Man and they've already started bringing back the original. ONE ISSUE LATER. Come on.

All this Aja art makes me yearn for a Spidey drawn series from him after Superior Spider-man is over.

your late christmas list to send them copies of immortal iron fist omnibus?

Can I have a copy just because I love Aja's work? :3
I still need to get around to getting the complete series as I keep forgetting which trades to pick up.
.
Pulido? Sure. You're still wrong, but whatever. Fraction is definitely pulling his weight on that book but Aja brings it to a whole different level.
You are correct sir! 6th sense.
