Between the two I'd still pick Sandman. But that run was good too.

If it doesn't I'm sure Marvel will be more than happy to shove it down our throats ala Captain Marvel.
I kind of doubt that. This character is so different from the MCU Hope Pym version that they might as well be completely unrelated. If this sells poorly I don't think Marvel would give it a lot of chances.
The Captain Marvel situation is unprecedented in my eyes, I have a hard time remembering such a jarring disconnect between the tone of a book and fan reaction.

It's like Marvel is trying so hard to show everyone that they're being progressive by pushing a not-naked female character, that they won't let anyone get in the way of that. Not even their audience.

We don't even pay attention to content anymore, we just pick the prettiest covers.
The first list of 2017!
Flintstones #7
Saga #41
Walking Dead #162
USAvengers #1
Giant Days #22
...Is a very small list.
?
I would imagine it's because they expect interest in the character to grow as time moves on and are trying to find a creative team that works. So far the new run seems to be better than the others IMO, but if they don't like the results then I would personally try something different depending on what Marvel's plans for the entire line are in the next two years.

With a commitment to a Captain Marvel movie, they're pretty much locked-in to their character choice now. I don't expect that will change, even if they fail to find a way to make her more interesting. They'll just double-down and refuse to admit they were wrong.
She's going to have a book, but it will be interesting to see the landscape of Marvel female led books in 2019.

You sure you saw a doctor?
TMNT + Hasbro comics + Locke and Key + everything else
Why am I even on there? Y'all need to step your game up
I will shill the fuck out of some X books if you need me to.
happi noo year
I hope so but Marvel has been weird with what books they keep and what they can.
Mockingbird gets 8 issues, canned before 2nd trade, sells good
Moon Girl sells like crap but trades save it.
And greenlighting books no one needs like 3 GUNMENS.

Pls. ROM has been really good so far. BK will back me up.

I'll give it a read but if puts me to sleep, then once again y'all be reading some dull-ass comics :V
Foolkiller is that book we didn't ask for, but needed.
With Mockingbird I feel they should've been given it a few more issues, but sales were not good. I think Angela should've gotten another trade as well. Moon Girl has trade sales, Scholastic, and audience going for it.
I don't have high expectations for Wasp in terms of sales, but I expect the character to have a role in the universe going forward.

Couldn't find the "I release you like a butterfly" panel though. My favorite panel in the whole series so far.

If you didn't think CW was going to fill out its slate of solid-performing shows with something on Friday, I got nothing for you. Even Legends is "good enough".
It's okay, not sure if I can afford it anytime soon.
I hope so but with Runaways and C/D coming to MCU, the young heroes in the Marvelverse are getting crowded.
Also member Gravity?
Didn't just confirm one, said multiple are coming. Maybe HBO or Netflix? Or that Static Shock show on their Blue Ribbon service.

Didn't you order that $700 Spidey 2099 statue? Way cooler than this one.

Black Lightning is already in production, with a pilot commitment at Fox and Freedom Fighters: The Ray is coming to CW Seed. EDIT: I guess you can also count Powerless on NBC.
The new announcement is the one I think would be hitting CW on Friday.
Antman and Wasp is coming as well though.
Which is shocking it's still on ice since Astoshing ended.
I'm expecting him to return in the second half on the year.

Finished NYX. Weird series with a disappointing ending. Bummed as I was really getting attached to those characters. Last issue felt pretty rushed.
Did anything happen to this crew in the future? They show up in the Women of Marvel: X-23 one-shot and Kiden shows up in Messiah War, but beyond that is there anything?

Voted for Vision. Definitely my favourite series of the year.
I felt like who ever put the titles in the list had no idea what they were doing half the time. Best comic book series has stuff like doom patrol which only has like 3 issues, while new comic book series has stuff like black Panther. Best art teams is full of bs. Good nominations but a lot of stuff was missed.
anyway this is what I voted from what they had
Best comic book series
Deadly class
Best New comic book series
Black Panther
Best limited of mini series
Sheriff of Babylon
Best comic book art team
Monstress
Best cover
Moon Knight #5
Best Writer
Tom King
Bes comic book moment
return of Wally West

Cary Nord is drawing a Deathstroke ongoing huh
edit: the three page Tom Scili back-ups of Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye are far and away the best thing DC is currently publishing.
