could be a miss america ongoing or something
Im 90% convinced the creative team is ending, with McKelvie leaving to finish the next Phonogram book and Gillen will be staying on for the next season
EDIT: That tweet from McKelvie more or less makes me certain that's what happening

Sweet!
But brahs I'm serious. If you know ANYONE or ANYWAY to get in on this let me know. I have to create comics. Icant exist without it. It's like explosive diarhea, I have tolet these stories out.
Not sure if that's on purpose...

Nothing's stopping you from writing as you search out your artist. Depending on where you like, there may be workshops for comic book creators, which could net results. I know there are things like that where I live.

Gillen will stay, McKelvie will leave to launch Marvel Boy ghost written by Grant Morrison
Welcome to the capital city of the new Kree empire
I was big on New X-Men for a long time but when I reread Marvel Boy before Young Avengers came out I turned around: Marvel Boy is the truth.
F U C K Y O U
The fact that Jemas pissed Morrison off back to DC before he could finish it is one great disappointments of my time reading comics.

So swung by my LCS to pick up this week's books and...
...closed lol. I know that the owners are at SDCC but still, usually the owner's dad is there to cover.
Ah well, I can wait to pick up my books either tomorrow or next week.

Glad that it's most likely continuing in some form. YA is awesome stuff.
im curious why the rest of the power pack isnt used as much as julie is.
Alex has been in FF for 2-3 years now.

That thing is like every angry 15-year old fantasy comic. The antagonists are LITERALLY an evil corporation, cops, overprotective dads, and humanity in general. Fascism, screwing hot chicks and pissing off her dad, writing FUCK YOU COMPANY MAN in your notebook, Jim Steranko and Bill Sienkiewicz comics.
I think Marvel Boy 2 got cancelled for being too cosmic or something? Fuck you Jemas/Quesada you lame-os
Okay, Comic-GAF, you've officially gone down from "ON BLAST" to "ON NOTICE". Activity can resume. (I also totally did not read that interview because I found that Gillen introducing ideas, while fucking awesome, spoils the fuck out of whatever you're reading.)
Well it sort of had to be for anything to make any sort of sense without a reboot or whatever. Especially for the X-Men since they've actually aged.
Yeah, he was gonna (partially?) do a tribute to Starlin and Englehart's cosmic stuff from the 70's, which would have been a hell of a thing.
So how old is the Marvel U supposed to be then? Isn't it based on Franklin Richard's age or something?

Can anyone offer up advice on ditching floppies? I'm gonna be reorganizing and know I'm gonna want to get rid of all the stuff I don't like a lot or have sentimental attachment to. I know Ebay may be one way to go, but I don't have an account there. I may end up getting one, but any ideas for alternatives? I'd bestow them on a young 'un but I can't think of anyone to give them to who might actually want them and read them. It's not a bunch of great classic runs, more a bunch of #1s (not worth much $) and odds and ends. Mostly in quite good condition, though.
Somewhere between 10-15 years since the FF took their rocket trip.
Bendis' All New X-Men jokes where he has the time displaced X-Men act like they came out of the 60's were never funny. However, at least it shows that Marvel editors let their (bigger) talent do what they want in their books, even when what they want is stupid.
More like the age of Scott and the original X-Men. They started off at about 15 and are like 30-ish now. So about 15 years give or take.
Considering they're like the only one who have really aged significantly there's really no one else to get a feeling from.
Spider-Man and the Human Torch both started as 15-16 year olds.
Marvel didn't have as many notable young heroes as DC in the Silver age though.

David Aja and Chris Samnee tied for Best Penciller/Inker at the Eisner Awards
Well Deserved.

Great artists getting their due
ultimate winner here: Steve Wacker for editing both books
That was a good choice, both deserve it.
Are there any good Superman cross over comics? Almost every DC cross over I hear about is either the Batfamily or the DC universe in general and most superman recommendations have him as the main character. From the Young Justice show, I thought the idea that he has to take superboy as his son was an intriguing dynamic that never got fully explored. Is there anything like that?
All the noms are pretty fantastic. Even picking two of them would be hard.
Also agreed re:Wacker - he has the best taste in art in the Big Two by a country mile. I'd be interested to see what he would do if he was in charge of DC's artists. Dude just needs to shut the fuck up about everything forever.
theres still katie and jack, and julies been seen in more than just one book. id guess theyve have to explain franklin if they use katie, but still.

You might enjoy New Krypton, but it doesn't feature Superboy.
Superman takes back The bottle city of Kandor from Brainiac and it grows back to normal size. It deals with the implications of having a bunch of Kryptonians on earth.
Have a Half Price Books near you? They'll buy all your comics but you definitely won't get much for them. Otherwise Goodwill or something similar.

Aww man, so I have to wait until next year (probably next summer for the lead up to Cap's next movie) to get my hands on relaunched Winter Soldier for NOW 2? Dammit, I have to put up with Nick Spencer and his obsession over Fury Junior even longer just to see Bucky...
Also: Well deserved Eisners for everyone, why David Aja isn't in charge of Marvel's costume redesigns, I'll never know. Dude is able to see when a design doesn't mesh well and works closely with writers to fit their vision. I'd have him revamping a ton of villains' outfits so we can actually take them seriously, if I was in charge of Marvel.

I cant get into it. I chalk it up more to personal preference than book quality.

I like Saga, but not as much as most people. Still, hard to deny how technically stellar it is.

Rafa spitting truth
Love the Samnee/Aja tie, they both demolish. Daredevil just cannot get bad art even if it tried. Rivera, Martin, Allred, Samnee, how can you beat those artists so far.

Don't be like that bruh, you got to learn from it if you ever want to be a comics superstar.

I have a huge grin on my face reading Trinity War.
Day Men was pretty chill. It's a Boom series so you never know if it will make it past six issues or retroactively be labeled a mini.

Jim Zub had a good article on finding an artist. He found the artist he works with on Pathfinder by using Deviantart.

Superboy is in New Krypton somewhere, I'm sure of it. NK is a pretty good story too, lots of fun avenues of story that it goes down. That and the Death of Superman are my favourite mainstream superman epics.
Of course, All Star Superman is the only superman story you'll ever need.
