Wait, what!? Huh?!

oh, okay. Kirkman needs that cash-cow.

 

[Serpentine]

I don't think anything has me SUPER stoked but there's some pretty cool stuff. notables for me are:

Virgil
Snotgirl
Cry Havoc
Crosswind
Ringside
Codename Baboushka
Heartless
Expired
Sunset Park
White Coal

that's a good amount of cool looking shit

Hickman's got 3 image books, Remender's soon to have 4, Fraction's got his projects and there's the Brubaker/Philips deal.

Far as I can see they've all already got things announced and out there.

Yeah true. Not a bad conference

Cape books aren't going anywhere. But I do find myself much more interested in non-cape books these days. There will always be superhero comics that grab my attention, but I like that I have so many options for when I'm not in a mood for them.

except the remainder bin

marvel had a chance to ride their creatowave of sw tie ins into limitlessness but turfed out
dc has a shot
image best are moving to showrunners

I know we already talked the BvS pictures, but I really like Snyder's shirt here:

Its just shitty when Cape Books only get bad creative teams.
I am more interested in the three thousand encounter between Joker and Batman as in a book about wrestling. And I only bought a book like Sex Criminals because I loved the hell out of Fractions Iron Man. Would have touched the book otherwise.

your avatar is just so quotable lol

Lets just enjoy the SW tie ins while it lasts. About 95% are actually good and have legs.

 

[Serpentine]

Valiant tho

what about them

 

[ReAxion]

anyone read Alex and Ada?

I did. It just ended. Good book on the whole, ending seemed pretty rushed, though.

One of my recent favorites. Loved every issue.

Yup.

that was a long-ass jail sentence

Tell us how you really feel about Robert Gill.

Then pretend he's part of this group and you have to explain yourself.

legs leading...where

 

[ReAxion]

legs leading...where

to Doom, of course

 

[BrightLightLava]

"I mean that's a good idea, right, Benny??"
"Jesus. Even I'm better than this dude."

It must be hard to be directed when you've made a movie that won Best Picture. It's probably how Quietly feels drawing for Millar.

i don't like his art?
i'll say that to anyone.
i'm sure he works hard on it.
i'm sure will sliney does too.
but they both have a real problem with dynamic action and are both put on books with...you guessed it...
dynamic action.

 

[echoshifting]

to Doom, of course

All legs lead to Doom

Oh come now, he's not that bad. And he's certainly not going to nullify the quality of the solo books or the last three years of awesome creative.

what about them

They're putting out the best cape books currently.

 

[PsychBat!]

doom and i know i was beaten to the punch but eh whatever.

just enjoy it birdie or I'll make you eat a raisin cookie.

 

[arkon]

Oh my. Cry Havoc. Yes!

Who?

I mean, there are some Valiant books I'm tempted to try, but it's a bit daunting with them being so far in at this point. Saying nothing of the fact I already read a ton of books as it is.

hey guys I have a great pitch for a book, it's what would happen if Passion of the Christ met Star Wars!

Seriously though, I'm so tired of the "it's basically x meets y!" pitch. I'm just gonna go ahead and blame Millar

Is Anakin Star Jesus?

Apparently no one remembers this gem, which I still have somewhere.

my reaction to those pitches are basically "suck" meets "my dick"

or a bit of "shut" mixed with "the fuck up"

I'm so sad this isn't a link to Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

 

[Zombine]

A one off issue of Walking Dead by BKV that'll
Be available digitally only with a "pay what you want" price point. Sounds like it'll have no bearing on the universe at all.

 

[Tizoc]

pretty sony conference from image.
a few big guns that were hot but mostly snooze

now that marvel is down the tubes where's my xboxone of comics?

oh right. bprd/hellboy forever.

at least they'll never let me down

Hold up
Hoooooold up
Are you not reading Daredevil?

 

[tim1138]

This times a hundred thousand

 

[KoruptData]

I remember some editor on Twitter last year complained to creators to stop pitching their ideas infusing True Detective meets X. He pretty much said it would be an instant no.

 

[Zombine]

My new book is gonna be great though. It's
basically Madea Goes To Jail meets Blade Runner.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Hold up
Hoooooold up

i'm talking about this time next year.
today, right now, marvel is better than it's ever been ever.

that all ends in September apparently

 

[ReAxion]

People need/people think other people need explanations based on familiar concepts. It's why "uber but for [term]" is a popular google search, why we call them smartphones and they're barely phones.

it's often inaccurate.

Which one y'all jokers posted this in the comments for Multiversity Comics review of the last issue of Zero?

All I can say is that my OPINION is 100% opposite of yours. Nonsensical babble meaning nothing in the end is not what I read comics for. I can think philosophically in my own mind without aid of any stimulus. Comics should be fun, Pure joy escapism fun. And deep comics can be fun (see TWD). Ales Kot is neither deep or fun. Ales Kot you are done...

 

[Serpentine]

Also it's kinda cute that Jason Aaron and RM Guera think that they can just encroach on Rob Liefeld and Matt Horak's territory like that

Who?

I mean, there are some Valiant books I'm tempted to try, but it's a bit daunting with them being so far in at this point. Saying nothing of the fact I already read a ton of books as it is.

idk but he sounds like a jobber

Valiant is weird because they relaunch with new #1s more than Marvel yet at the same time carry over the same writers and continue the stories a lot of the time. I agree it's kinda daunting even though each new series is probably new reader friendly

 

[Brian Fellows]

I wish Hardrian's Wall was actually about Hadrian's Wall.

I sort of give myself away right here:
