Yeah just squeeze Darkseid in there between Dick and Zatanna

It's important that you continue to add to this

Hahaha. Oh geez. It's only 100x120! I can only do so much with the pixels I have!

Dude, I am impressed. Holy shit is that great! Yo, you guys know everybody has to change their avatars for a month to Kipp's sexy masterpieces, right?

Haha thanks!
And that'd be hilarious. I'll make as many avatars as I need to if you guys wanna do this.



Aaaand just got the call from my friend. Gotta go for now, but I'll be back to make more avatars in a bit. Sorry, Tim. I'll do your Darkseid first thing when I get back. Haha

Fuck, that comic owns, even if I don't understand all of it. Especially the Anders Klimakks issues.

Somewhere, someone told me it was all a metaphor for a man dealing with the death of his cat and his shitty life (maybe it was on here, not sure), and I think that clicked with me. Ostensibly, it's about breaking down all of the filth and stories we fill our lives with to show what they truly are. It's a hell of a read, but it requires some deep drilling to get to the heart of it all.

I read up on Morrison's process for writing it and he definitely went down the darkest of porn wormholes for that shit. Dude said he got uncomfortably filthy.

Now that I'm catching up on comics I'm interested in marvel unlimited. The 6th month gap doesn't bother me to read new stuff. Worth it?

Marvel Unlimited is worth it, i'll be back the next time they run a discount. I'm going to upgrade from my ipad 3 to the next air or note 10.1, so that will be nice too Xo.

CMXhd is great though, but that serves a different purpose than Unlimited for me.
 
So I've managed to read Grayson, World's Finest, and Superman Wonder Woman so far. SWW was pretty solid, I'm digging this whole doomed thing,
Lois become Brainiac is quite the interesting turn of events. This is definitely not your typical Superman story. I don't think this is something they could have done in the Old 52
. Grayson was pretty great, dug the art and the story so far, will definitely keep reading this one.

World's Finest was so so, the art was not good this month. It lacked character, just generic and meh. Last month's issue definitely had the better art. Story pace seemed a little slow too,
they've been saying for multiple issues now that they were going back to Earth 2, and it finally happens on the last 2 pages.
I feel like this months cover was a mistake and is supposed to be next months cover.
 
Batman Eternal was legit good this week. "Heavy Metal" artist Jason Fabok returns this issue and kills it. There was a scene where Batman was jumping down on to the top of a building and he landed right in front of someone and you could feel and hear the impact of the landing with Batman looking like a bad-ass.

The story was crazy. Something I thought they would drag on just kinda ended. This was the end of Tynions arc and Ray Fawkes takes over now with "horror mode".

I come back to this thread after a long day of playing with my action figures and Kipp Is fapping and posting erotic fan art.

Then why am I hard?
Because you were playing with your creepy Catwoman statues and thinking of Messi and bad Frank Quitely jokes.



Also, in Detective comics, the Buchbag that I always knew has finally showed up. I still like the story but holy shit was there somefucking dumb things in this issue.
Why would that swat team let those gangmembers and the fucking shot dude leave the sewers? I really liked the "everything is connected to Nawleans and Im your father, kid, and this guy killed your moms, so you should kill him". Also, do bikers say "coniption" ever? Serious
ly.
 
whoa, Gilbert Hernandez is gonna be doing an issue of Sensation Comics
SENSATION COMICS FEATURING WONDER WOMAN #3
Written by GILBERT HERNANDEZ and SEAN E. WILLIAMS
Art by GILBERT HERNANDEZ and MARGUERITE SAUVAGE
Cover by IVAN REIS and JOE PRADO

When Wonder Woman allows an other dimensional science-villain to capture her, she expects to swiftly deal with his android minions and save the day. But he’s able to brainwash her and that’s when things go haywire! Then, back on Earth, we share a rare moment from Diana’s rock-star days.

Okay question about Grayson #1.

What was up with Helena Bertinelli? Did she fake her own death, then Helena Wayne took up that identity, and now she's back? Also, is she African American now?

Really solid first issue though. I think I may have to add that to the pull list. Superman/Wonder Woman however is just getting boring and contrived with the "Doomed" crossover. I think I'm getting closer and closer to just cutting it off, just like I did with East of West today.

I always wondered who you rep in your avatar. It looks like Sir Mix-A-Lot and Biggie's love child. Or maybe that's Patrice O'Neil which is close enough.
There's no need for that, Zombine.

It's truly one of the great mysteries of our age.

Yeah but all credit to Kipp for this Martha Washington avatar. Though maybe I will switch to one of the ones he made for me ;)

Well it seems that our avatars are working. We got Zombine with Martha Washington in the mail and Messi says she'll buy it eventually. Great success.
Anyways, do you have a request for a beautiful handcrafted avatar?




Also, I present Tim's Darkseid:

I went with a "Darkseid getting his yearbook photo taken" scenario.

It's not a spoiler now because this all happened in Nightwing #30. She has dark skin yes but she is Sicillian officially.

MSG: Re-envisioning Helena Bertinelli as a woman of color is a really interesting choice, partly because so few people recognize that Sicilians can be dark-skinned, and partly because it adds another lead character to an increasingly diverse Bat-Universe. Has the reaction been what you expected, and what are your thoughts on the landscape of diverse representations in comics today?

TS: It hasn’t been quite what I expected, and there does seem to be some confusions or assumptions I guess. She’s a dark skinned Italian woman. There’s already Helena Wayne, and I thought our Helena should be her own unique character. We’ll get more into her background and origin in the near future!

Thanks, but I have actually gotten rather attached to Martha, here. ;)

Darkseid is gonna be hard to top anyway
 
It IS Patrice though, right? I could swear I have seen you or someone else post the photo before

Edit: hey you guys wanna talk about comics? What the FUCK happened to hawkeye?? It's like they've given up even the pretense of ever publishing another issue

Yes, it is The Patrice. You may call him Mr. P or the funniest motherfucker to have ever lived.

Kipp, this may be your finest work yet! The description really pulls it all together IMO

There was definitely something mentioned in another book forget which though.
Dick gives her a bunch of shit because he thought she was dead, and she talks about having to fake her own death. So my guess is Helena Wayne happened to use a "dead" woman's name as one of her aliases.

Doomed started off really fast paced in it's story, and it's really slowed down over the last couple of issues. I hope it picks up again, it seemed to be humming right along, until this sudden stall.

Haha all right.
And yeah, it will be a challenge to do better, but I'll try my best.

Holy shit that's amazing

Glad you like it!
I'm not sure it's quite as good as Kirby's version of the character, but it's pretty close. :p

Is it not possible to change your avatar on the mobile site?

Not actually owning a computer is gonna be me in the ass here isn't it.

Grayson was cool. Wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.

I can say the same for Doomed.

Haven't read my Original Sin Avengers yet, but it's next.

Dude, I am impressed. Holy shit is that great! Yo, you guys know everybody has to change their avatars for a month to Kipp's sexy masterpieces, right?

Dear Kipp,

I'm gonna need some Greatest American Hero.

Or some Bats/WW intimacy with an angry Supes looking on.

Your choice.

Hugs,
Vyer
