There's also the interesting rhyme between those two issues of the
television and video tape that the soldiers watch
I don't feel sorry for
Zizek, just Marina and young Edward

That Emma statue is almost comically grotesque. Liefield Edition (tm)

Bro, I was originally going to post that it needed more vaginas but didn't want to offend anyone. And I'm 100% kidding. Blame Nocenti!
If anyone can be pinned down in their comic book taste, it's me. I purchase zero DC. Zero. I purchase very limited Marvel, mainly my two favorite characters (Daredevil and the Punisher).
I purchase way too many Image releases. You can almost always guess that I'm buying Image Title X and be correct.
Are those the really expensive ones people were referencing yesterday? Maybe it's just the angle or the camera work, but they all look pretty bad. I'm not feeling them at all. The Emma Frost one is particularly bad, but Power Girl doesn't look much better.

I really must get this.
Waited on the last Sideshow one and missed out big time (prices are like $650 now!), so I'm determined to get this.
I honestly dunno if another writer could pull off what Kot is doing here, maybe Dysart?
The way Kot rather effortlessly is able to transition between the rather fantastic
the crazy alien spore things
If you spend enough time here you tend to see what everyone is really into and then you will know what kind of books they are likely to buy. Most people here know that I enjoy what could be considered teen girl books. I dont think there is any issue with that. You will also see that Grandharrier is insane. The only thing I am ashamed about is how much money I gave dc for Catwoman while not enjoying the book.
Some people just don't enjoy DC and I get that. Same for marvel. Image tends to get universal love.
YAY COMICS.

So, if anyone wants to be spoiled on Futures End, what I was talking about earlier. Here it is.

I don't even know how one would go about hating Image. They more or less just say "hey, you wanna publish a comic book about whatever the fuck? Here you go!"
Perhaps I should take up the charge of being the resident Image hater to see how that would shake out...

Okay, since it's a new page, let's review all the fun new toys...
Deadpool ArtFX+
Batwoman bishoujo w/alternate face pictured + Zatanna artwork reveal
Bishoujo She-Hulk and Wasp artwork
I'm sure some of you like fighting games. Tekken and Street Fighter bishoujos.
Juri sculpt, Sakura artwork, Pink Chun-Li (presumably SDCC exclusive or something), Poison reveal. And the pic you can't see because Sakura is blocking it is Anna Williams artwork from Tekken.

Where's the cockpit?
In for Deadpool, Jubilee.
Depending on the physical versions of She Hulk, Zatanna I might be in for those too.
Batwomans pose doesnt suit her at all. But the second shorter hair model looks great.

Aquaman is so fun. Might be one of my favorite titles. Love that Author and Mera are a true power couple. Everything about them is great.

I understood zero in that conversation chain. It was like pulling back the curtains to a foreign world.

Same. Luckily, bishoujo releases are spread apart instead of all releasing at once. I may grab that pink Chun-Li, since she should be on Koto's website soon.
How is Starfire the only female figurine I have seen today not comically wearing heels?

The better question may be why aren't any of the other bishoujos straddling vaguely penis-shaped rocks?

This is what it felt like
Haha! I saw that live and commend Eminem for his comedic chops. But yeah. That's pretty much my face last night. Pure WTF.

Superman 33 was fantastic. Man, I can't believe the Superman book I have been wanting all the time is actually a Clark Kent book. Clark going around, doing investigative journalism. Being Supes for the heavy lifting. I love the weirdness that is JRJR's art.
Harley and Ivy Bishoujos?

Well, to be fair, manga are just Japanese comics.
Not exactly. Ivy had those vines wrapped around her legs, which was pretty sexy. Harley was just standing on a giant hammer, no? She wasn't doing anything suggestive with the handle.
I haven't even seen those. I am new to this end of the statue game.
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
I am consistently impressed with Tomasi and Gleason's Batman. Tomasi has these characters fucking down, and he's telling a damn cohesive story, while still maintaining momentum.
I also read the Zero Year finale and was totally let down. Snyder cannot figure out how to end these overblown story arcs. Ever. Capullo is on another level, but for fuck's sake, somebody get Synder an able editor and a skype session with Ales Kot.

The Flash 33 was fun. I'm really liking what Jensen and Venditti are doing with the character in the present and the future. Good stuff.
Wonder Woman #33 would have been better if I actually gave a fuck about the Nu Amazons. Azz really should have thought that "sailor killing, baby slaver" thing through a little more. Really hard to muster care for the Amazons now that they're in the spotlight knowing that.
Stone Hippolyta rolling in like "Who want it, bruh?" was hype though.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Man...so I take advantage of that Marvel Unlimited 99 cent promo, all hyped to read some classic Moon Knight, only to discover that not only does Marvel Unlimited not have any classic MK, they don't even acknowledge he existed prior to 2006. Moon Knight Vol. 1, Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu, and Marc Spector: Moon Knight aren't even listed in their database. What the hell, Marvel. Gah.

I'm the complete opposite. I thought the latest issue of B&R came off completely childish. The group dynamic and dialog seemed written for the Saturday morning cartoon crowd. I still liked it because it's Batman and he had a cool suit. Zero Year though was smart and relevant. It was thought provoking and concluded one of the BEST Batman stories ever written.
Don't worry, even if it was there you couldn't read it. They have pretty much killed the servers with this promo.
Hawkeye is great when it actually ships. Shame its ending after this arc. Enjoy while it lasts. I am sure it reads well in trade.
Talking Comics has become one of my favorite podcasts! I'd also highly recommend iFanboy for their pick of the week show. The Comic Hangout is great too, but they haven't been uploading their shows on iTunes recently, and I rarely watch stuff on my laptop.

Just watched another episode of X-men
I didn't know Storm was almost married to a slave master. Some crazy stuff. She was about to destroy an entire planet over him. I really liked how Wolverine was able to see through that guy from the jump. I still don't see how Storm was willing to marry someone she just met a few hours ago though that 2nd episode probably jumped a day or two, but that is still crazy.
