Honestly, I would have been embarrassed to pick these books up off the shelf in their old costumes.
I read them and didn't mind tbh.
Lol if you think that bikini is gone for good. Also how is it obsolete? People buying statues like that don't care about any new design. They are buying it because they want that design.

It kinda should be gone for good. It seems a bit outdated, not to mention impractical.
I don't disagree. It doesn't change the fact that Dynamite will drop back to it the second the book starts to dip down in sales/other factors.

I would think at this point they know that the bikini has no impact on sales. It's all about the quality (or lack thereof) of the story.

This Bleeding Cool article made me giggle, for reasons completely unrelated to the article.
The guy pictured in the article looks like old Bray Wyatt.
I was embarrassed when my little sister almost picked out a book with her old costume. Then my older little sister told her to put it away because she was embarrassed.
It wasn't on the front cover, it was an ad on the back cover.

They just seemed pretty outdated. The original Vampirella comics has a lot of appeal due to some of the great artists that worked on it and the bikini costume is more palatable framed within its publishing history.
Tbh I'm not really familiar with the character much but the Dynamite comics never did anything to make me interested in the characters. The redesigns hold my interest because they make me believe there will be a different take on the characters. The talent also seems to be better than before but I never paid much attention to that line.

His writing style is about as coherent as a Bray Wyatt promo as well.

Has Bray traveled back in time from the future? Where Walmart is the overlord?

The Superior Foes omnibus doesn't seem to be out until the 16th here. Booo.

Are you using Amazon release dates? Non-specialty shops always gets things a week or two later than comic shops.

All the online book stores I use have it listed as the 16th.

Finally saw Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens with my pops. I enjoyed it thorougly. Oddly emotional for me.

Excellent movie. Probably my favorite outside of maybe Empire.
I'm glad to have another person on Team Rey, the only rational choice.
It's finally happening, DC recollecting Waid's Flash run - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401267351/?tag=neogaf0e-20

RotJ was always my favorite, if only for the final Vadet v Luke battle.
I thought this was a genuinely good film. Safe, yes, but the action and characters were so on point it makes up for that. Don't understand the complaints about Rey and Kylo.
That being said, it was a really emotional movie for me. I guess I'm way more invested in SW than I thought.
It was an awesome beginning to the Deadpool 2099 story that will be told in the issues between arcs of Deadpool. Like the flashback issues of the previous series. I kind of wish it was its own series though as I enjoyed it way more than regular Deadpool.

Awesome. September is far away but I'll have time to read Johns Flash before then at least.

I've still got another four and a half hours of January, man. Don't rush me.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
It was awful
Worst book of that week for me, was just thinking "Wow, every books been great this week" Whilst I caught up, and then I read that.It was awful
I really loved everything about it. I had been considering dropping deadpool as I think it has been boring as shit so I guess I will just pick it up every 5 issues now.

Got a few hours before I put it up. Got distracted by the Street Fighter beta RIP
I will forgive you this time. Do you play as Cammy?
Freezasaurus
Member
I think I'm skipping Street Fighter this time. It's sandwiched between other game releases that I'm looking forward to, and I just can't deal with Capcom's DLC scheme anymore.

No. I've been trying Bison, Chun-Li, Karin, and Mika so far.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Different strokes for different folks I guess
It may get better if the stuff in the future connects more with goings on in the present day
How is Chun-Li? I want to try her out. I usually only play as Cammy and I was told yesterday the other person I played as in 4 is gone. Viper.

Yeah, even after the first season of DLC characters, the max count is going to be 16 characters. More DLC characters will be released later, but that's pretty far in the future.

Pff no fear of death by comic gaf. Well just come back with the next event and with new #1s
Am I in this game?
So you are telling me there is a chance of Viper?
Freezasaurus
Member
Yeah, but probably not until next year at the soonest.
...i should totally do that. When someone dies, ill name a new one "allnewgketter" lol
Yup. For now at least
Does that mean JC is our Marvel comics?
I like how the little bio at the bottom pretty much says "Mr. Barger is an asshole"
Can't really see anyone complaining too hard about the Red Sonja redesign...it's not a huge leap from chainmail 2 piece bikini to chainmail halter top and loincloth.
Who am I kidding, they're probably furious

I'm happy about it, because it makes me far less tempted to buy the $550 Premium Format if the costume design is outdated. Freeza be shallow like that.
This is madness to me.
Like...Captain Marvel has never worn the costume in her premium format, never will. Yet you bought that.

That's an extenuating circumstance explained in depth by the Captain Marvel Exception Rule.
