No but seriously just how fucking good was Loki and that whole payoff, god damn. The whole thing, for two fucking years, and now, shit just fucking falls apart it's the best. THE BEST.

Those flashback panels to the talk with Thor back in JiM #645 were something else. The build up was really well done throughout the previous issues, slowly setting up this moment.

A nice reminder to everyone else that you should read Gillen's Journey into Mystery and Ewing's Loki: Agent of Asgard. (Also Gillen's Young Avengers).

 

[Mac the KNife]

His dialogue hits the nail on the head in regards to the costume.

I laughed. Bendis gotta put his mark on everything.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

a select few of you may like Comic Books are Burning in Hell but i feel like anyone here who would listen to it already does

thiiiiisssssss

 

[PsychBat!]

this Talking Comics podcast is...pretty terrible. Sorry :/

This chick hates marvel and says marvel isnt even one of the big 2 (lol?), this other guy says secret wars is a reboot and all the books will be dead as if its fact even tho nothing resembling that was announced. So, yeah :/

maybe its just an off episode but its a terrible first impression

sounds like a circle jerk

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

actual New Venom panel from the GotG issue

man whatever this is badass as hell

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

JC is back yaaaaaaaaaaay.

Read Batman and Robin - Born to Kill today. Cool little story. Great artwork, although it felt a little heavy on the splash pages in the first half of the trade.

 

[Drayco21]

It's nowhere near as badass as his fantastic first original costume.

I don't even dislike the new costume, I just don't like that they felt like he needed a new one whatsoever.

 

[PsychBat!]

I have to agree with Birdie, that Venom suit looks pretty cool. GotG still looks like it's not doing anything so I'm not gonna bother.

TOOTH AND CLAW #3 is great, the mythos is so good.

 

[Rhaknar]

We shit on everything equally. Unless you are image.

actually jokes aside, one of the reasons I like the thread so much is that, as far as ive seen, there is no rampant fanboyism towards any company, you can freely talk about anything

 

[KoruptData]

It's 80 pages brahs! Also, it's optional. It also comes with the Multiverse poster.

It's just so goddamn heartbreaking. It even managed to call back to the "In the end, it was always Loki" catchphrase from JiM. GOD DAMN. Masterfully done.

Won't argue with you there. Nothing beats a Tony Moore deluxe.

So basically they turned the symbiote into a green lantern ring.

Great. Wonderful. Terrific.

Aye, we are pretty good at that.

It's a shame we will all be kipp'd soon.

Read Amazing Spider-Man, All New X-Men and Transformers #37

Spider-Verse remains a cool read

and eh, I kinda enjoyed All New X-Men

I hope Agent Venom finds a horrible death in Secret War.

Like any podcast it's all about getting a read on the hosts. That particular one has a HUGE Image / Indie preference so they tend to be pretty harsh on Marvel and DC.

People listen to podcasts?

Spoiler

I'm part of a bi-weekly video game podcast.

YO INTERNET CELEBRITY UP IN HERE.

Which one?

Holding the line at $2.99!*

*For bad weekly books only, thx.

Filthy plz.

Part of the reason for the price increase is each issue comes with a hit of acid so you can get on Morrison's wave-length before diving into 80 pages of meta world-bending madness.

I love the x-men. I just got caught up on uncanny and the all new this week.

 

[tim1138]

Everyone is always talking about DC holding the line at $2.99, but next week's Multiversity Guidebook #1 is $7.99!



This post is going on your permanent record, mister.

And it's gonna be the best damn $8 anyone ever spent on a comic.

 

[The Right Deal]

I think the current GoTG run is garbage, but I really don't mind Bendis on Uncanny X-Men, it's nothing groundbreaking but I'm not like, offended by it and I think it's been enjoyable all the way through. I really liked the conversation between Cyclops and Magneto last issue, I thought it was a standout moment for the series.

 

[fauxtrot]

YO INTERNET CELEBRITY UP IN HERE.

Which one?

It's not one any of you have likely heard of before... we only get a few hundred unique IP listens per episode right now, but we have basically no media presence so I am actually proud that anyone has stumbled upon us and continue to listen. The podcast is called Gamebuddies and I'm Austin, if anyone ends up checking it out.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

Cool, I didn't know they were doing trades for night wings old book. Bought!

 

[Isak_Borg]

Holding the line at $7.99.

And lol. Funny you should say that. Every time I say anything about my new job, I get paranoid that it'll get tracked back to me/my GAF account.
One of the many downsides of using your real name as your username.

Tell me about it!

Ra's Al Ghul saying what we were ALL thinking in Batman & Robin was so ace. Plus, Gleason just doing his thing at 100% and then some. How is the guy not on Justice League already I mean just give him his big break already man it's not fair.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Zombine, plz.

Time to dig in.

The colouring is really off in the last 2-3 issues did they change colorist? It doesn't look as good now :/

 

[MG310]

I don't mind the costume so much. Pointy chinned Destroyer face is a little odd. A little too inorganic for my liking. Even Agent Venom's tactical gear was drawn with a crab like texture to it.

Man, I totally fucking agree. His work on JLA: Welcome to the Working Week was damn good, and he's gotten so much better since that book was released in 2003:

 

[PsychBat!]

Couldn't make it in time to buy the B&R issue today with Damian on the cover, all they had were the Flash variants. Gonna have to buy it online.

Any book that Gleason is on in the future, he needs to keep Mick Gray as his inker and John Kalisz as his colorist. They take his line art from very good to incredible.

Let me know how it is.

F'reals, lets take one of the things that makes Venom unique (the fact that the "suit" is a living organism living symbiotically through its wearer) and remove that all-together from his design. Visual storytelling at its best, people.

to be fair his Agent Venom costume already removed that

Also, also, Peter J. Tomasi edited it and pretty much taught Patton how to write a comic.

I might have to read this for the Elvis Costello reference alone.

 

[PsychBat!]

I do a sporadically scheduled podcast with my friends. It's more of a gaming/movie podcast though. Which is limiting imo because talking about comics to people who don't read comics is fun but it's a wasted act.

 

[Filthy Slug]

I might have to read this for the Elvis Costello reference alone.

It's definitely worth tracking down. It's a huge one-shot, and it should be easy to find on ebay. I picked it up for like 5 bones last year on a whim, and It was easily worth that.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I think the new Venom design looks okay except for the head. The new face reminds me way too much of Spawn with the green eyes and white splotches around them.

Like already said, the white palms look really good... It's just the head that throws it all off IMO.

And that was a good Gundam model I just put together. Maybe I'll buy some comics off of Comixology tonight. Maybe.

 

[fauxtrot]

This is true... I'm not very familiar with Flash as Venom. At least it looks like that version often had a matte look and a little bit of organic stylings, whereas this new suit just looks like a black version of one of Iron Man's non-standard suits. The plate-esque lines on the face/neck/legs make it look more like a metal exo-suit.

Just another case of me wishing Marvel and DC would hire some artists with a keen eye for design to do their suit redesigns... Project Rooftop has spoiled me.

I dont hate it, but I dont like the spider going all the way to the back, reminds me of gargon venom which I hate. Ill wait to see if theres some tendril action before passing final judgement

Never understood the love for Gargan Venom.
