No i think you make senseGot a little insomnia right now so I ended up reading that KSD profile in Vanity Fair linked a while back
There's a line in there ("in the so-called Golden Age, which lasted from the late 30s to the early 50s, they were read by males and females in almost equal numbers") that struck me because it reminded me that Patricia Highsmith used to script comics in the 40s before she became a famous novelist and here we are in 2015 where having that 1 woman in the lineup is seen as an accomplishment because the very real alternative is nada
it's just frustrating is all, that we're in a moment where the demand for particular voices in mainstream comics might be at an all-time high and mainstream comics is just utterly unequipped to deal with that demand while at the same time congratulating itself for battles that were already won decades ago.
the other aspect that I feel very ambivalent towards is how identity politics have been co-opted by billion dollar corporations to sell you More Stuff but maybe that's just the cynic in me talking but also isn't that the ultimate endgame in all of this? Marvel is much more guilty of this kind of shameless "look at how diverse we are!" promotion than DC is but it's present in both companies i think.
i dunno. My brain is running on fumes right now and i might just delete this whole this tomorrow
Filling those green bars up in CMX is addicting. Gotham Academy was great.
Spoiler alert
Finally time to get Daredevil Yellow. Maybe Big Time too.Comixology doing a small Marvel SDCC sale
Some good books on sale everyone should own or try out:
Hawkeye vol 1
Daredevil by Waid vol 1
The Amazing Spider-Man One More Day

who cares
Yeah, I wasn't super into that run. It was like Morrison going crazy with his campy brand of goofiness, as redundant as that sounds.
Batman & Robin is good on its own, but the Batbook tie-ins generally sucked. Pretty sure I read all the DotF ones and said to myself "Never. Again."
He forgot one important point
Killing Joke suuuuuucks
waste of Bolland's talent
even Moore thinks its shite. and he always thinks he's dropping illmatics left and right
homie i am full on VALIANT right now
X-O 1-14 was a blast.
got Bloodshot / Harbinger through Harbinger Wars and Unity / X - O through Unity event. hyped.
I keep telling people that Waid is kinda garbage trying to give different voices to his characters. Add whatever the hell that is supposed to be to 50 year old Brookyln accent Peter Parker.
Archie dances on that fine line. I thought it would be a bigger clusterfuck than it actually is, but Staples art shaves a good 20 years off the voices.

Can't find a source for it, but apparently a second Multiversity series was announced today as well
Yo someone has to offer pick me up one first!
I think its timeless. I cant think of one thing that would make it aged.Eh I like the Killing Joke, I like the dialog and words, I like the art, I like the old original coloring. You can tell me it did not age well and I'd agree, but I still enjoy it.
If anything the concept should be revisited.
You know what book isn't good?
Wicked + Divine.
It's a book that seems like I should like it, and maybe even seems like it's pretty good.
But I can't fucking keep any of the damn characters straight, nor can I tell why there are so many of them when practically all of them read like the exact same character.
It's just.. blah.
Fuck yes my man. I'm about to start the Armor Hunters event. My jimmies aren't ready.
Waid is weird man. When he gets serious it's bad.
This new comic book place I found gets special variants of Valiant books. They have some deal with them too. They give away Valiant #1s after a few weeks.
The guy's name is Brett Parson, and he's been the highlight of the new Tank Girl comics. He really hasn't done a whole lot outside of that and his Vertigo story in SFX Slam.
Dude's talent is fucking EXTREME. I'm following him and really waiting for any news of his own original series or something. Put this dude on a monthly.
I haven't even considered the idea of the Force Awakens being bad. Like it my head, its set to "can't not work"
Max Landis is writing, wants to make the opposite of Multiversity.
I still don't understand what he meant by opposite of All Star Superman. It's going to take years to find something positive out of that.
Well, the director hasn't done a single good movie in his whole career. All flash and prettiness and no substance. And we already got that from the prequels.
Maybe they wantl Comics for BizarroWorld.I've been out of the loop on whatever this is
Does someone really want to make the opposite of ASS? Why would anyone want that?

I'll scope out the stock tomorrow and see if I can get you one, unless someone offered already.
Seriously, anyone who is at SDCC this weekend and wants to pick me up one of the plush Krypto superpets toys drop me a PM.
Look at this guy, he's great!
plus my wife really wants one and it'd be a great surprise
Like every single star wars live action film ever made, then?
The original Star Wars movies at least had memorable and interesting characters that you could care about and great villains. And that is what makes a good action/adventure movie for me. The Star Wars prequels and the new Star Trek movies just gave us forgettable and frankly boring characters. I don't even remember who the bad guy from the first Star Trek movie was.
Yeah, no?Like every single star wars live action film ever made, then?

You mean, even his Avatar stuff ? ^_^
Just had to say it, don't mind me. On the disclaimer front, I'm so not a gore and Avatar fan, but what I glanced of Moore stuff with them was fucking underwhelming. I mean typical Lovecraft riff, nothing new, nothing particularly brilliant. I didn't read them, so I could be wrong, but it looks really vain. I was surprised.
