Looks like there might be a new JLA cartoon.

Magic is happening in the WB panel, people.

[Vampire On Titus]

Everyone I see talking about Wicked & Divine is like "Yeah so the characters are ass and the last issue was dry...and so was the one before that and the one before that...and the new artist sucks but man there is a whole lot to love here. Shit is going down." Lol

Well two of the four. Last issue was dry but the issue before that was actually pretty damn hype. The ending certainly was. I remember some pretty shocked responses here myself included. Issues 8 - 10 were good ~ great. I'm still interested in Baphomet's murder quest. Then again, I'm a Wet Moon fan so I'm not so averse to methodical pacing.

New artist is not great. I'm hoping she'll dial down the hokey anime expressions and regain some of that pensive mysterious demeanor the gods had before. Also hopefully she constructs her action scenes a bit more carefully :/

Spoiler

If Laura comes back somehow then all is forgiven

 

[PsychBat!]

Like every single star wars live action film ever made, then?

What is life anymore.

Why would a woman use an umbrella in the sun.

Shade?

uh to block UV rays. Pretty common, I thought.

WB fucked up the new universe, time to pack it up folks.

Yeah in the 1800s.

I saw that a lot in Florida ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

i heard sunscreen causes harm to your body.

It's okay I saw it in Jersey this year as well. It's fuckin weird though and doesn't really work.

So there is this guy, Ales Kot. Worth checking out ?
I'm half joking, I know he has a pretty good rep, it's just that having stopped actively reading comics with Civil War there is a whole lot of new creators I never read.

 

[TetraxShards]

But the long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists!

 

[whatsinaname]

Picked up a couple of Groo books at the library and this is hilarious. Loving the art too.

Hey, a comic announcement at a comic-con. That's a bit novel.

Kot is very talented. He has a lot of great ideas and has had varying degrees of success in his execution of said ideas. It's worth checking out Zero because it's badass, and I particularly enjoy Material.

A lot of old chinese ladies do the umbrella in the sun thing

hmmmm I wonder if they have the reprint rights for the Marvel stuff. IDW have a pretty decent relationship with Marvel but from iirc the rights are pretty fucked.

 

[Nudull]

So...how about them Bats and Supes?

 

[frye]

also re: TKJ

This (queer) reading of it is a lot of fun and fixes some of the problems for me

 

[WadiumArcadium]

So...how about them Bats and Supes?

Fucking awesome sums it up nicely. Not 100% sold on Eisenberg Lex though but it is only a trailer.

 

[TetraxShards]

So...how about them Bats and Supes?

It was really, really fucking good. I'm 100% sold on this movie now.

 

[slightconfuse]

Trailers for man of steel were great but that movie was trash. I wanted to join them in the sun.

I'm cautiously optimistic for BvS

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I'm not sold on Batman v. Superman. Trailer wasn't that good IMO.

 

[Filthy Slug]

At least the Batman portion of that Batman v Supes trailer was excellent.

Don't have any good things to say about Michael Cera and his goofy hairpiece though.

[Zombine]

That trailer looks really good! I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

 

[tim1138]

Hype on a hundred million for BatSupe. Someone really needs to leak that Suicide Squad trailer tho

 

[TheStig88]

I told myself I wouldn't do this, but I just bought my ticket for the hype train. I need it.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Same. Nothing but optimism here - i hope it doesn't bite me in the arse. I doubt it will.

I didn't even dislike the prequels, so I think I'll be pleased.

I see that Barnes and Noble will be 'doubling' the graphic novel and manga sections in their stores.

It's interesting that walking in there for the first time in a year or so and I see how the toys/'pop culture' sections have become huge. Another old bookstore/music store I used to visit is Hastings and I see they've increased a huge focus on the same stuff.

I guess this is how brick n mortar bookstores believe they can survive.

Mine did this as well. They have like, twenty bays of graphic novels and manga taking up the entire length of this huge wall, now. Though admittedly, only about half of that space is for the spined-out older books.

Same with the toys and games, though. But I don't see this stuff preventing the eventual death of the book store, just prolonging the death throes.

So yeah Strange Fruit...

Yep. That's a picture from a comic book alright.

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.

Zombeen pls. Archie was fantastic. Book of the month right there.

Can't find a source for it, but apparently a second Multiversity series was announced today as well

Sure, if you can't think of any great new ideas, just rehash your old shit. Not sure I'm interested. But if they make the entire series a continuation of Multiversity: The Just, I'll buy every issue and frame them.

Everyone I see talking about Wicked & Divine is like "Yeah so the characters are ass and the last issue was dry...and so was the one before that and the one before that...and the new artist sucks but man there is a whole lot to love here. Shit is going down." Lol

There's a definite drop in quality. I've found that the story just isn't as engaging anymore outside of that holy shit moment a few issues back.

Killing Joke is about way worse than any of those.

Can we please stop shitting on classic stories just because the modern social climate says we should? Unless you'd care to tell me how terrible Huckleberry Finn was, or maybe To Kill A Mockingbird. I'll gladly listen.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Unless you'd care to tell me how terrible Huckleberry Finn was, or maybe To Kill A Mockingbird. I'll gladly listen.

Honestly, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a fucking great novel but I could have done with less Tom Sawyer by the end of the book. He's just a prick who makes everything worse.

 

[BKatastrophe]

This is the same guy that said superheroes are rock-stars.

That's not what he said. He said he feels they're being portrayed more as rockstars in recent films. Having the focus be on them rising above the destruction. Those were his feelings on the matter, and that was also at a time when MoS had JUST come out.

I'm scared to fall in love again.

We all are

 

[tim1138]

You know, it's possible that some folks just don't like the Killing Joke and it has nothing to do with the current social climate.

 

[tim1138]

And here it is, Multiversity Too and Morrison relaunching Batman Black and White

Ehhhhhhh..... Is this just going to be an attempt at tie-ins the way Convergence was? Are we gonna have Multiversity: Catwoman, Multiversity: Wonder Woman, etc. etc?

 

[Filthy Slug]

Difference being these aren't fourth-string creators plugging away at gimmick-month titles.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Sure, but you know as well as I do that isn't the case in every instance. You know this.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Morrison doing some Batman Black and White stories with a bunch of potentially great artists sounds like the business, tbh

Where is wonder woman earth one?

 

[TalkingToast]

I don't do collections. Not that I would want any of that in singles form either. I hate the vast majority of DC Super Heroes. And nothing I've seen recommended from Dark Horse has interested me yet especially Hellboy. I don't like the character nor do I like that art.

Any particularly compelling reason to skip on collections ?

Gonna go check out this sdcc stuff, bvs hype !

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Love the first batman black & white run when they had the top tier talent doing it. Interested in this.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Goddamn that BvS trailer was hype, but

Spoiler

they killed the wrong Robin

 

[slightconfuse]

Marvel should let morrison write Spider-Man.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Marvel should let morrison write Spider-Man.

For one, I don't know if Slott is ever going to give it up. Secondly, I don't know if Morrison's writing style is really suited to Spider-Man.

 

[Rhaknar]

BvS trailer did nothing for me

This must be what non-Marvel fans feel with Marvel trailers

The shot of Superman floating in the air when someone is asking for help might be my favorite shot in any superhero movie

 

[Zombine]

The dream is dead bro. It's definitely in development hell. Teen Titans AND Batman vol 2 came out before this.

It'll happen, Zombeen. In 2016. Maybe.
