I'm a non-drinker, but what happened to that book makes alcoholism very tempting.

It still hurts. It will always hurt, webcomic or no webcomic.

It's even worse when you go back and read the first few issues and you can see the potential.

 

[Ponn]

The book went to shit after and turned fairly serious after that last issue you read. Kurtis Wiebe doesn't know how to get back to what made it great and the book is now on indefinite hiatus after he tried to bring back Roc Upchurch post assault on his wife. He also tried to do this all behind the current artist Tess Fowlers back but she blew his shit up on Twitter.

Don't hold your breath. That first hardcover was wonderful tho.

Well that's depressing. There were some threads left hanging I wanted to find out about.

I ate all of the Taco Bell and now I am dead. What are some good home remedies for death?

Who are you again?

 

[Brianimaniac]

Who are you again?

I am a mound of Taco Bell.

 

[Owzers]

What if the problem is you didn't eat enough Taco Bell?

I am close to dead too. Ate a lot of sea food pancake and bbq pork belly.

Delicious C-grade meat.

I like how they have a bowl in the middle to vomit into, makes things much simpler.

yeah this is good shit man

 

[Brianimaniac]

Oh wait, I think it's Korean. A Korean BBQ place I went to is like some of the best food I've ever had. So I would try a seafood pancake.

How is silver age Suicide Squad? Seems to have been written by someone called Kanigher. This is coming out this month.

Y'all are just hating on Korean cuisine. Feel ashamed.

I like my food how I like my comics, as bland as possible.

Finished Manhattan Projects. I liked it quite a lot, but I'm still a little upset that I was under the impression that it is a completed series. It definitely affected my expectations towards the end, and I was disappointed when I realized that #1-25 is basically the first half of the series or whatever, before it spins off into planned minis covering each of the diverted plotlines. Even more disappointed to learn that it's possible Hickman might just never finish this, since the relaunch with Sun Beyond the Stars didn't do to hot.

I think at the core, what the book was great at was being a delicious black comedy set in a ridiculous alternate history setting that ponders "what if science was so much more" but in a totally villainous way instead. The characters are great, the way they totally mess with expectations is great, and while some of the stories were better than others, the great ones were really great. The Oppenheimer Civil War, the Illuminati War, the crazy alien stuff, Einstein the Barbarian, lots of yummy material. Want more though. Why is Hickman always running into problems with finishing his less popular stuff? Speaking of which, WHERE IS THE REST OF SHIELD????

you know the only suicide squad we recognize around here are written by John Ostrander right

 

[duckroll]

I find it strange how you only want to read stuff that is already finished. Then again I HATE ending so I am probably the strange one. I usually am.

I don't only want to read stuff that is finished. I just prefer reading stuff that's both good and finished. With all the choices out there, why read an incomplete story when I can read a complete one? Following an incomplete story when releases are irregular and the conclusion undetermined just seems to like bad choice.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Really impressed with the first three issues of Detective Comics. My favourite of the Rebirth books at the mo.

Let's eat boiled chicken with a little salt while reading about Hal Jordan's adventures.

Add a plain ice pop for dessert and you've got a deal. No salt though, let's not go mad or anything.

You and me both buddy.
It really is very good.

Hal Jordan's favorite meal is lightly toasted wonder bread, with a glass of room tempature water

I think Geoff Johns did a six issue origin story detailing this

and Ales Kot

#neverforget

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Gone

but not forgotten

 

[Freezasaurus]

Speaking of Ales Kot, did Tyrant give up on trying to get him to join GAF?

 

[Vibranium]

I don't know but Kot would get an earful from me on how he wasted Winter Soldier by trying to make it another Zero instead of a fun space romp. You know, what "The Man On The Wall" should have been.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Speaking of which, WHERE IS THE REST OF SHIELD????

It's coming! At some point.

I'm pretty sure it's done, it's just up to Marvel as to when they release it.

 

[Brianimaniac]

Any time I've seen Kot on Twitter, that dude seemed kinda intense and high-strung.

 

[Vibranium]

Got the Darth Vader comics for pretty cheap on Comixology, they're entertaining, especially when you have James Earl Jones in your head. I still need to check out that Anakin and Obi-Wan miniseries, I loved the Young Adult EU books that followed them through adventures.

 

[Messi]

Remember when Tyrant was fucking with Kot on Twitter.

Anakin & Obi-Wan was really good. I'd definitely recommend it.

It's not harder to navigate, I just preferred the big old grid instead of a bunch of collapsible dividers with pictures of everything.

Deconstructing Comics: A Unit Share Analysis Of Marvel's Events.

TL;DR - Event fatigue is real.

 

[dan2026]

Marvel is so fucking hit and miss with their events.

Granted I did like Secret Wars and Civil War II is good (so far)

 

[Brianimaniac]

I think Secret Wars is their only event comic that is genuinely great. Other events have their moments, but they're messy.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I like Infinity a lot. And Time Runs Out was a great arc. But that can all be explained by Hickman da GOAT. When they're left with Bendis writing an event, it always turns out rather middling.

 

[Brianimaniac]

I've never actually read that Hickman Avengers stuff. I went from FF to Secret Wars.

I loved it. I binged it all on Marvel Unlimited in the lead up to Secret Wars.
