Boxy, please tell me your OT thread title doesn't mean what I think it means.

I had such a great title.

I don't understand why people keep posting "OMG I DON'T UNDERSTAND!" when other posts have already explained the situation, along with the article linked in the original post. You always find old threads that are like two pages of that shit before you get to any real posts.

I did fuck up really bad though. I don't blame them.
It was a one shot called Vengeance
Gillen gave her more character. I feel this was announced the moment they saw Marvel wasn't launching NOW! with a Chavez solo. Shit, I see that shade at the PR quote.

I actually thought the reason he was attending SW Celebration might have been to announce a new book, but he was just talking about Vader.

I guess this is the only way you can get a solo book published for an LGBT Marvel character: bring it to Image instead.

We don't if she'll be straight, gay, or bi.

When he created her for the mini was she gay or was that later added in YA under Gillen?
Casey wrote her in a relationship with a guy, Gillen made her lesbian.
Image America looks like they just ripped off the McKevie look.

It was the same character in name only, more or less. Much more fleshed out in YA.
What a weird, funny, twisty little thing this story is. I kind of hope that rumored America Chavez book is true now just to add another wrinkle.

Naw. He just took my title idea and nailed it.Rich fucked up too.

If Marvel doesn't sue, I'll take that as conformation that they have zero intention of putting America Chavez in a movie.
Finished Monstress Vol1. Loved it. I think it fits perfectly into a certain niche which I haven't seen done well in a while - fantasy adventure with a slash of manga and cartoon influence, R-rated content but not too bleak, some silly mascot stuff that lightens the tone. There are supernatural overtones, steampunk, a cute cat race, and giant tentacles... but it also reminds me of stuff I liked when I was a kid like Pirates of Dark Water. While there's nothing super original about any of the individual elements, I just love a fun fantasy adventure with cool world design, macguffins and breadcrumbs which reveal more about the history and layers of the world, and cats. Did I mention cats?

I took a business law class in B-school, and thought this all the time.
Who says superhero movies can't teach you anything?

Heads up to BritGAF, the first TPB of Rucka's original Wonder Woman series is only a tenner on Amazon. Good price for 400 pages. Never read it but I'm enjoying his current run.

Back from the week off vacation, just read Wonder Woman #2. I think I will like much more the year one arc both in terms of writing and art.
And also got Monstress Vol 1.

Ooooh gracias mate, with the low price point of the Pound this is a bargin.
I just realized the OT might be confused with the beauty pageants.

I'm almost at the end of Hickman's Fantastic Four and FF run. Think I have like 4 or 5 issues left. Just started the arc where
and I feel like I may have missed an issue somewhere. What happened / where did
go? They haven't been in an issue in awhile and I would remember reading if they had left. Last time I remember Reed's dad being in an issue is when they were going to the future to check up on
since he stopped aging normally.
I've read the Avengers stuff that picks up after this and know they pop up atleast once as far as I remember. Gunna go back thru all that stuff soon, but still am curious if I missed something.

The other thing that confuses me about MAC, is that in YA, she definitely went by Miss. But in everything not written by Gillen, she goes by Ms.
I'm not sure if there is a story reason for the change, or if it's just editorial.
EDIT: Actually, I just looked it up, in Secret Wars Seige, written by Gillen, there's a panel where she says "Ms. America Chavez. One Warning: Not 'Miss'". I wonder why that was changed.

Hummmm...... Amazon is still running that sale on Image Comics (that ended on Comixology some days ago). I wonder if I should buy more stuff. Is usual that Amazon runs the same sale and last longer?

Amazon always has trades on sale for Kindle/Comixology. I've bought a lot of 200 page plus manga volumes for $4 from them.

Glad you liked it. It's definitely my favorite new series from the last year and there have been plenty of good ones to choose from.
That is awesome to hear. I picked up the 1st issue digital from Amazon during some 99 cent sale and I loved it so I was waiting for a trade to come out. It's $5 bucks on IST and from what i'm reading contains 6 issues thats a hell of a deal.
Was thinking of making my next IST order to get this and maybe get the Superior Spider-Man trades. I slacked off on most all of the Spidey run after OMD because it was coming so hard and fast. The only stuff I read was the Gauntlet arc. I really wanted to read Superior though because I love that type of stuff and just kind of wished they let it go for a bit longer.
