The only place Brian Wood would ever explode is in some aspiring female comic writer's mouth.

All I've had a chance to read this week has been Robin Rises, and Supergirl. Supergirl was alright, nothing amazing. Weird how
Robin Rises was fantastic though, this has to be one of the best times to be reading Batman. Tomasi, and Snyder are just killing it for me. Two of the best writers, for me, to ever handle the character pumping out great stories at the same time.
she was able to get the Red Lantern ring off by going into the sun. : / but ok.

Bwahahahahaha I love how none of this hostility ever existed before he got outed.
I've got the full Nocenti Catwoman run thus far including variants. Any takers?
Oh my goodness.

Buddy of mine wants to try Marvel U with my account - is that doable? Like two people using Netflix? He just wants to check it out before jumping in and I just want to be sure I don't get banned. I didn't find anything in the TOS and can't find anything online. Anyone know if it allows account sharing?

You are already better than Quitely.
Please, I read it for the relationships.
It's a low bar. I gave my niece a few crayons a week ago and she just about recreated All Star Superman. She has a steadier hand tho.

Yeah Top Cow will be publishing. From what I gather that are quite close to the first book.
Invincible #112: I thought the Robot/Monster Girl arc several issues ago was disappointing, the worst in awhile, but with these last few issues have made me like them a little more as they were needed to fully enjoy what's currently going on. Random 7/10, Kirkman destroying worlds.

Yessssssssss.
I know. I'm dying to get physical copies. I love it so very much.

Does anyone else here feel that Marvel's female characters aren't as interesting as DC's?
Marvel women tend to be very powerful power-wise, but when it comes to personality and story, they're kinda meh.

Not at all. If anything, I think the exact opposite. Take a look at Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. Both excellent examples of witty banter and strong personalities.
Then we have the X-Men, most of the Avengers cast. She-Hulk!
I love most of the DC ensemble, but many times I feel like we see the same characters with a different coat of paint.
As a general rule I enjoy DC's women more.
That said, Marvel have Magik. So they win.

Yeah, kinda. Though I think they've been improving lately, what with Captain and Ms Marvel
The former, I believe

The publisher doesn't matter so much as how the character is written, and oftentimes by whom. Many writers have a better handle on some characters than others. I feel like I usually get more enjoyment out of a $2.99 Ms. Marvel book than most any of the $3.99 Marvel books I buy. I like Batwoman a lot, but she still feels like a very cold and stoic character. I want to see her personal relationships developed more.
It's a mixed bag.
For me, I dig some Emma Frost (and the Cuckoos), Storm, Kitty Pryde, Kate Bishop, She-Hulk, Shuri, Monica Rambeau, and Medusa. Conversely, could not be more disinterested in Scarlet Witch, Rogue, Jean Grey, Black Widow, or either of the Marvels (I don't care how tumblr cool they are
).This is roughly equal to DC, where I got Power Girl, Raven, Black Canary, Huntress, Stephanie Brown, Lois Lane, Amanda Waller, Mera, and Wonder Woman (my second favorite hero) on my cool list, and Catwoman, Carol Ferris (really most non-Lois love interests), Talia Al Ghul, and Katana on my "well, I suppose someone likes them" list.

Dynamite solicits are out. Looks like Simone is still on Red Sonja as of issue 16.
Dat Jenny Frison cover....

I thought DC female characters were in a better place pre-Nu52. Zatanna and Power Girl were top notch female lead books.

Ron Wimberly was the artist for those two issues. I think that's all he's doing. Not that Pulido is much better, but I digress.

What you said. But the exact opposite.
The marquee DC heroine, Wonder Woman, exemplifies just how stale their stable is. There are one or two rare exceptions, but as a whole DC female characters are awful.
Walking Dead #129: Having just read Invincible #112, walking dead seems mighty boring. I'm a little detached from whats' going on, the ending...
And i feel like almost all DC characters have zero personality, only thing that shook that up was Damian and him teaming up with Dick in Batman and Robin and we see how that ended.
Just felt flat, Negan's chilling in prison forever and Negan wants to trick the super gullible scooby doo group

I think this could actually go somewhere interesting. But the new group hasn't been developed very much just yet, so we'll see where things go. I was ready to drop the book during All-Out War, but I'm glad I kept with it. For now, at least. But if I get bored again, I'm done. Invincible is still Kirkman's better book, I think.

honestly, Walking Dead's big shtick has been trying to settle into things & pull the rug out in a way you either didn't see coming, or at least not to that extent
so yeah, again if things go that predictably i'll be pretty disappointed. i've quit (and clearly returned to) the book in the past, but it wouldn't take much to drop it again for a while
also ya'll bashing too many names here:
Brian Wood - go read Demo
Frank Quitely - go look at his art in Sandman Endless Nights cause goddamn

LOL, fair enough. I'm going to drop a ton of money this evening and join statue GAF with the new Frank Quitely set. That classic Batman suit, though. The absolute best!

Because he's too much of a pussy these days. I think he's kind of exiled himself from mutant affairs. He fucked up enough when he time-jumped the original X-Men to the present.
