We are waiting for Overwatch's patch to hit consoles still so D.va can look strong. I might actually try D.va again, last time i did a Symmettra ran circles around me and i should have boosted away but i panicked and died.

B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth #143 out today

I've been following the multiverse reading guide thing from that site

Where would I start reading these?

 

[Mindwipe]

Kevin Smith is the Kurtis Wiebe of filmmaking. Fluked it once or twice and now struggles to even know what made his stuff great. Cursed to keep chasing his older quality. Output bow mostly useless.

I dunno, I think he's had five legitimately good films.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Okay Thanos Imperative was godlike. Onward towards the Rocket Raccoon amd Groot Annihilator issues and then I'm all donesies with the Abnett and Lanning GotG omnibus

Thanos Imperative was such a perfect ending to the whole saga. I love the dual meaning of the name too.

 

[BrightLightLava]

It WAS a flashback. To when Betty and Veronica were relevant.

Oh, you. Such a sassy lass.

Glad I wasn't the only one bothered by the colouring. The faded look killed his art.

It looked great otherwise.



In other books< Superman 3 was still really good. Love what their doing with the kid.

Batman 3 still feels a little weightless to me, but I love a

And Patsy Walker hit me right in the feelings, as I knew it would.

Yeah it was such a badass ending. Very curious how they managed to get out of that, since both Thanos and Star Lord are running around again

 

[Busaiku]

Mr. Hughes was not a good fit for Betty & Veronica.
His writing feels different from what Mr. Waid and Mr. Zdarsky have been doing. Everyone just really feels off. Archie's just insulting Jughead, what the heck.
And everyone looks like they're in their 30s...

Bendis

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

So I feel like Spider-Man #6 kind of perfectly illustrates how much better Bendis is at writing the "non-Superhero" aspects of his characters. I actually really loved the roommate dynamics between Miles, Ganke, and Fabian.

Here's a neat thing to read if you have a few minutes : http://www.lettersofnote.com/2016/07/you-are-best-author-in-human-history.html

He is particularly good at that. I always liked the older stuff with Judge as well.

Started my comics today with Hellblazer Rebirth, because I hate myself. There is absolutely nothing even remotely redeemable about this issue. Trash art, trash writing, and the worst lettering I can recall from the big two.

Once I get through everything, I'll post my usual impressions, but I wanted to get this warning out to anyone on the fence for a Constantine comic in 2016.

You're probably better off spending your $3 on a Valiant book.

Presumably, I wouldn't know.

I thought zdarskys tone was way off too.

 

[Busaiku]

I agree, but it still feels like I'm reading a story about highschoolers, save for Jughead, who's completely chuuni.
But everyone feels like adults acting like kids.

Well I figured for the latter, but how the former? I mean, Thanos was a pretty big part of Hickman's stuff

There you go.

Chris Samnee wondered on Twitter if the K plate was missing from the Betty and Veronica printing. Mark Waid said his was fine. Not sure why that would make it to the Cmx edition.

 

[Lashley]

Yeah, Hellblazer was trash

Why the fuck has the artist drawn us Brits living in hobbit holes too?

B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth #143 out today

I've been following the multiverse reading guide thing from that site

What do you mean? Hell on Earth is in the reading order. Just follow the arcs in order. They eventually switch the naming scheme from BPRD Hell on EarthbSubtitle to just BPRD Hell on Earth numbers if that's what threw you off.

 

[Future Foundation]

I really enjoyed that cameo in Nova.

Yeah it was, thanks

 

[BKatastrophe]

Abnett and Lanning's GotG made retroactively dislike the movie's version of the characters. Specifically Drax and Gamora.

 

[Rooster12]

Yeah they ruined Drax pretty bad...

I'm almost scared to read his mini-series...probably will turn me off the cinematic version completely.

 

[Sou Da]

I really enjoyed that cameo in Nova.

It was excellent. Shocked he taught life lessons while still being in character.

Remember that game on Watchpoint when I was doing that shit to people as Symmetra and no one knew what to do? I was dropping people left and right. I almost felt bad.

Is Ana out on consoles yet? I might have to come out of Overwatch retirement and try her out.

I'm playing this game called Dex right now, tho. It's a side-scrolling cyberpunk action RPG, and it's just swell.

that's what i'm waiting for, it just hit pc yesterday so in theory it should be a few days until ps4 gets it. Ana, no hero stacking, d.va/zenny buffs, etc.

I actually really liked this Hellblazer as someone who only read the previous one.

DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee is apparently scaling back his plans to illustrate the upcoming new Suicide Squad ongoing series. Although Lee was originally solicited to be the sole penciler on Suicide Squad #1-5 (through October), the publisher informed Direct Market retailers this week that he will instead draw a "twelve-to-thirteen-page lead story" in each issue with the remaining eight pages being back-up stories spotlighting members of the team by guest artists, beginning with former Justice League artist Jason Fabok. Series writer Rob Williams will write both stories in each issue.

If you had "less than one full issue", you won this round of the Jim Lee Lottery. Please send a stamped addressed envelope to receive your prize.

 

[Owzers]

immediately regret pre-ordering suicide squad. Removed issue #2 and 3 from my dcbs order.

So double shipping makes 12 page lead stories a thing?
