Even if it's over a minor adjustment to the art, if it comes off like the only reason you're being asked to make changes is that the person asking has a personal issue with you, then yeah, you would walk away. Especially when you're an in-demand artist that can get similar work elsewhere without even trying, and not have tension with a creator on the other job.

Awwwwwww. DC doing us dirty. Make us buy two Absolutes.
I'll do it. Glad I never bought the original hardcover volumes.

Didio had to (literally) kiss Greg Rucka's ass so hard, to give him whatever he wanted, for him to be writing for DC in 2016. If he doesn't want to associate with Frank Cho, you bet editorial is gonna give into his every whim to make him happy. And its not like Frank Cho can't find paying work elsewhere.

I would pick Rucka over Cho every. Fucking. Time. Cho is a talented artist, but he can be juvenile. I wonder how much he's made drawing outrage covers at cons.

Still, it seems like all he wanted was at least the "panties" (I put it in parentheses cuz they honestly look like he bottom part of her outfit) to be cropped out. It's like whatever man the cover still gets made despite Rucka's gripe with the pose. But for some reason that tiny little edit is what did it.

Rucka has one foot already out the door whenever he's doing work-for-hire, so you can't let him have a bad day or he's gone. He quit Punisher in 2013, came back for Cyclops in 2014, and then quit that too.
So I'm in Sacramento picking up my sisters and my mom from a business trip. I learned that a couple of days ago that my sisters went walking to the local mall and were stopped by two men in a car. They yelled out "this is America!" and drove away. Nothing else happened. I don't know how to feel.
Maybe they were arguing about what country they were in.

Because he's lucky enough to have made a name for himself, so he doesn't have to deal with the bullshit that publishers pull from time to time
frequently.

I only like Rucka's work some of the time. Most of the time his writing comes off like he's one of these stereotypical novelists that have no business writing serialized comics because the pacing is so slow, with all these subtle details that no person can reasonably remember from month to month. Sometimes, if you read his stuff in trades, it's very good. I love Lazarus, and I love his Punisher.
I don't touch his work-for-hire stuff until it's completed because I don't trust him to not throw a fit and bail. It sucks to spend so much money on these expensive-ass books and then have the writer just leave you hanging. I don't trust Straczynski anymore for the same reason. I'm not entitled enough to say the writers owe it to the audience to stick around if they're having a bad time, but Rucka is so quick to leave that it seems like he doesn't even think about the readers in those cases.

That. was. BULLSHIT. OUTRAGEOUS BULLSHIT.
For that BULLSHIT alone I give that issue a
CWII X-Men II spoilers:
could be a fake out if their goal is trying to infiltrate the x men. For what purpose? No idea, other than recruitment.

Oh hey, Hank once again sticking his nose into affairs he should stay out of and not understanding their implications. Both Hanks keep fucking up.
My sisters? They were walking to the local mall on a sidewalk. The guys, who my younger sister recalls they were early 20s white guys. Just pulled up next to them and said that. And now that I'm in Sacramento with my dad (who has vitiligo) and my sisters at the mall, there's a lot of white people. Normally I wouldn't care that much but I'm in a city that I'm not familiar with and it's hard not to feel uncomfortable when they stare.

I would like to apologize for my people. Whitey frequently sucks.

Well....They weren't wrong in their statement. Though I feel there was some racist motivation at work.
Man, you don't know slow pacing until you've read a Nick Spencer comic. Specifically Morning Glories.

No need. It's the first time my sisters have been yelled at in a discriminatory manner. Feels weird to know that.

I've never read Morning Glories, but Sam Wilson is my favorite ongoing book right now, and I love Superior Foes and The Fix.
The worst decompression I've ever seen was Rucka's "Return of the Native" arc on Wolverine. So little actually happened, and it was seven issues.
That's a good book and I'm surprised it doesn't get talked about more given how topical it is.

Apparently DC Entertainment are reorganizing and promoting a bunch of people and some others are going to be asked to leave. BC are running the story but we shouldn't really talk about it until we get the official word since we have no real clue what's going on there.
Remind me how much DC Entertainment and DC Comics are linked. Could DCE chiefs fire lower levelled people at DCC without asking the heads of DCC?

I'm still waiting on the Etrigan/Klarion set that I'm pretty sure was supposed to come out last year.
We should boycott comics until we get our figures.

Diamond constantly updates release dates and shit on their site. I use them all the time to keep up with statue releases because DC Direct has a tendency to delay a lot. Current date for Etrigan is August 3
, until it gets delayed again
Edit: oh Jesus. My BvS Wonder Woman statue got delayed (third time) to December 28. Just waiting for the cancellation announcement now. Wonder if they had to resculpt the entire thing.

What if I told you it only gets better?

just like that, this comic is non-canon in my head
From what I've seen over the week quite a few people want a classic Venom story after 5 years of Agent Venom.

Classic Venom wanted to eat Spider-Man's brain. Constantly.
I'm not a Venom fan, but you know how late 80s/90s comic fans are lol.

Max Landis has an Image comic coming out in October...
The knights of Kelodia are the finest in the land, but theyve never faced a power like the one that resides in the Green Valley
MAX LANDIS (Chronicle, American Ultra, Superman: American Alien) and GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI (Amazing Spider-Man) welcome you to the world of Green Valley where nothing is ever what it seems.

I don't understand those people.
Eddie Brock Venom was always a terrible character. He worked out all right as a villain the first few times because he could bring a fight to Spider-Man in ways few villains could, neutralizing or easily countering almost his entire power set, and he knew all this personal shit about Peter because of his time with the symbiote. But eventually they stopped coming up with interesting ways to use him, the antihero popularity wave hit and they decided hey, let's make Venom a good guy. So we got Lethal Protector, which was an awful story. Virtually every story where Eddie Brock Venom was a good guy was legit cringe-inducing, bottom-tier garbage comics. The character was so completely ruined by the time Mac Gargan took over that him taking the symbiote was a relief. Fucking Mac Gargan.
Enter Flash Thompson. Here is a guy who has gone through a pretty incredible redemptive arc in his own right. He's a Real American Hero who lost his legs as a soldier (incidentally, that makes him one of the only fucking disabled characters starring in a comic book at either of the big two). By making Flash Venom Marvel got to have their cake and eat it too...they had a guy who could be an actual hero, not, ya know, a psychopath like Brock. They were able to create all kinds of interesting stories that acknowledged Flash's disability in a respectful way. And the bond between symbiote and host had much greater depth and authenticity than any of these fucking Venoms or Venom ripoffs running around. I could go on and on. Flash is a vastly superior Venom in every way.
And now Marvel is gonna throw that out? Gee another good sign that Marvel really gives a shit about diversity...let's get rid of our only disabled character!
Seriously this kinda pisses me off.
