COMICS!!! |OT| January 2017 This is the Dawning of the Age of Apocalypse

What comic sites do y'all read these days? The big ones I used to be into (CBR, Newsarama, ComicsAlliance) seem like PR feeds.

I subscribed to LordofLore's RSS feed...

No seriously, last couple of months I've stopped visiting comic websites. Comicsgaf it is now almost one stop shop for me. Anything interesting gets linked here anyway.

( I still visit the mmw forums for my collected editions stuff).

Hehe, thanks. :p

I have so much time free when working(we have 4 showings every two hours)so I usually check here before seeing if anything new popped up while I was helping customers with their tickets. Helps I follow Cronin on twitter so I get links there whenever one of CBR's actually original content that isn't just PR pops up. Someone in the comics industry I follow usually retweets Bleeding Cool articles that actually has some elements of truth in them like "Artist changes to these books!" most of the time days before some place like Newsarama posts it.

The news...no, news can't ruin comics, not even comic news.

Still can't decide if i want to continue with the flop or not, comics are weird, maybe i'll watch more news.

Infinite Crisis, Fear Itself, Dark Reign, Inhumanity, Countdown to Final Crisis....

Comics or news?

Fake Comics, why don't they ever write comics about all the good things that happen?

I am trying to get back into East of West by reading my backlog flop, i don't remember exactly what happened in the last issue so i'm rereading it, #23, which released Dec 2015.

2015! Why do i buy comics monthly...
 
Comics Bulletin, Women Write About Comics, Loser City, Multiversity Comics

But there's only one place to get the hottest takes

And that's @HellaNarez on twitter dot com

So I used to be a big Archie fan back in the day, I haven't read any of the new series but I watched Riverdale. Not normally into soaps, but I really liked it, I'm going to keep watching. Hopefully Jughead gets more scenes and ties into the plot a lot. Sure it's trashy fun, but it seems some people need to understand it is an alternate take on classic characters, just like the comics have been doing.

I think I'm going to read Afterlife with Archie now.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Tom King @TomKingTK

I proudly served in the CIA post 9/11. Fought actual terrorists. The ban makes that fight harder. It makes us less safe.

King was in the CIA!?

Black Widow #10 was good fun. I would have put money on
the Lion's head exploding after he read Nick's mind. Glad he went out like a chump. Platch's death was pretty brutal - the kids are terrifying.
 
Squadron Supreme #15
So that's it? That's all we got? All that time spent reading, and that's all anyone has to show for it? Let's recap all the hanging plot threads:

-Zarda having a secret space empire that the "real" Power Princess is trying to take down
-the impending apocalyptic battle between Nighthawk and Hyperion
-Dr. Spectrum's potential Inhumanity and the mysterious origin of her powers, which she decided to visit the Inhumans to figure out
-Hyperion's driving a truck across the country
-Blur is an Agent of SHIELD
-Hammond's powers are changed
-Secret Skrull army (the Nighthawk poser) possibly tied to Zarda
-Time travel plot
-Thundra did nothing. Ever.

I did enjoy this book a lot even though I didn't read the first chunk (Namor and Weirdworld), but I really liked it a lot. Now I hate it. Even the good parts can'y be redeemed due to the fact that it goes fucking nowhere. I don't think a book has ever made me more upset. Fuck this book. It's trash. And no, I'm not going to spoiler the ending. It's over a week old and isn't worth anyone's time. The group breaks up and nothing happens.

Venom #3
I think I'm done. I don't like this character, and because of the actual Venom symbiote, I only feel sad. Everyone's an angry dickbag and a terrible person, except for the symbiote, and he's being torn up. I want my Space Knight back.

CAGE! #4
That was pretty good. As a whole, this book was funny, had great action, and it's rare that you see a comic use the medium it's a part of to the fullest extent. I wish it was a bit longer, but short and sweet ensures that it wasn't disappointing, as it never had a chance to be.

And I was always baffled how Adolf just needed a couple of months to get his shit show on track. And now Donald just needs a couple of days. Is there a possibility for the POTUS to get the four years term rule out of the way?

What if this panel from the Oath is actually
Spencer referring to the current status quo of the Marvel universe? The book also makes comments interesting comments on CW2 and Marvel events in general.

Justice League v Suicide Squad read. I really enjoyed it, nice little setup for future stories too, that are of interest to me.

Deadpool 25: So the 2099 storyline is finally wrapped up and the ending was stronger than the rest of the story IMO.
Ellie's mutant power is really cool and fitting.

East of west has lost something for me having waited a year between issues, I don't remember who one of the chosen characters is :/
 
Most of Marvel's writers are against Trump and have been vocal about it on twitter.
Yep, they even threatened a strike when Perlmutter donated millions IIRC. Didn't happen. GWW had been talking about a second book she would do with Marvel but she hasn't said anything about it after that and seems fine with just doing Ms. Marvel.

I hate how DC changed the design of the trades two volumes ago, just to change them again... Why? Tradecover designer really love to fuck with Collectors.
