One of my all time favorite comics. I love it to death. Though it helps that I've never disliked anything by Whedon that I've ingested.

Goddamn it now I might have to re-read the run. You bastard

It's funny, because from Morrison's New X-Men, up through at least Way's Astonishing run, there aren't a lot of roster changes. They drop/add one or two members every run, but otherwise they stay pretty close to the same. I mean;

Morrison's New X-Men:
Cyclops
Emma Frost
Wolverine
Beast
Jean Grey
Xorn

Whedon's Astonishing X-Men
Cyclops
Emma Frost
Wolverine
Beast
-Jean Grey
-Xorn
+Kitty Pryde
+Colossus

Ellis' Astonishing X-Men
Cyclops
Emma Frost
Wolverine
Beast
-Kitty Pryde
-Colossus
+Storm
+Armor

Way's Astonishing X-Men
Cyclops
Emma Frost
Wolverine
-Beast
-Storm
Armor

Like I said, up until that point, there aren't too many changes in the teams.

Literally the best thing Whedon has ever written across all media, all shows and movies included.

Absolute perfection.

Is CW2 worse than CW or superior to it so far?

Is CW2 worse than CW or superior to it so far?

Hard to say. CWII is an incomplete work. But I've been liking it more than CWI so far.

to be fair, so is civil war 1

Yup.

(But so far way better)

 

[GAMEPROFF]

to be fair, so is civil war 1

Why that?

 

[Primethius]

Is CW2 worse than CW or superior to it so far?

I'd say worse. CW felt much more like a real conflict then CWII does. II feels fake and fabricated.

Both suck.

 

[Freezasaurus]

To be fair, so was my post you quoted (that was really fast). Do you F5 this thread constantly, JC?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

hoooooooo shit

 

[mreddie]

Hard to say but Bendis already playing his usual cards.

[ViewtifulJC]

no, but work is really slow right now cuz the manager aint even come in she so tired from July 4th, so we just fucking around talking about Kevin Durant, Hillary Clinton, and browsing NeoGAF

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I mean, like, not in so many words? But he's all about the strongman politics, the belittling of political opponents, ruthless capitalism, and white nationalism, so it's like... if "Trump's politics" and "Facism" were represented in a venn diagram, it's be like 90% overlap, broadly speaking.

I have more the feeling that he is a racist and authorian, which doenst necessary mean that he is a facist, who really wants to install a dictatorship (I am sure he would not even be smart enough to accomplish this).
The only times I really thought that he really went into these areas was when he befrinded himself with these Ku Klux Klan people and even there I am not sure if this is just to get the votes of southstate hillbillys.
Not that it would make it better.

 

[whatsinaname]

Hip Hop Family Tree is fascinating. In the middle of the first volume right now. A bit of a slow read for me because I have to keep jumping onto Wikipedia/Youtube/Spotify to keep up. And the art is awesome!

 

[LordOfLore]

Should I buy the Transformers vs G.I. Joes issues on the Comixology sale? Anyone read them?

Edit: Another DC Celebration Of 75 Years got added to Comixology, this time Green Arrow.

Fifth DC Rebirth sale, this time JL.

JC and frye both like it, which means it's probably very good

 

[TheFlow]

No, but one would hope that it wouldn't turn out this bad. Like they would have learned... something.

it is civil war 2 of course they haven't learned anything

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas. OMG YES!!!

 

[Owzers]

That logo bothers me, will probably read it on MU since i haven't even started Waid's Avengers on there yet. I have no confidence in these books.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

"The name champions has a lenghty history. Used first in 1975 and was then unused for decades"

Oh man.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

my pet theory is that Waid took on the Avengers job knowing full well he could reteam with Ramos for the Marvel version of Impulse a year later.

Uhhhhh is that Viv?

That might not end so great guys

 

[tim1138]

That is a terrible logo, but I dig the roster.

 

[LordOfLore]

Man, that first cover makes it look like they're all floating.

Probably not picking it up.

 

[Owzers]

it looks like the logo of a minor league sports team.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

They should've chosen Kaine and Aracely instead of Miles

I just want them back

 

[Brian Fellows]

I asked Jeremy Haun on Twitter about the art on The Beauty. He says going forward he will be rotating artists and he will pop in and do an issue here and there where time permits. His next issue is #12. He will continue co-writing the book. He also told me he is working on a new creator owned book that he will be announcing soon.

Just now saw this. Sub cancelled.

When you are as picky about art as I am there is nothing more annoying than rotating artists. It's like playing Russian roulette with one empty chamber.

Went ahead and stopped my Pretty Deadly and Rat Queens subs too.

Hope the MCU will have a New Warriors movie in a decade and we might see them again.

Ramos seems to hate shadows so his perspective is so wonky. Peep that ASM #688 where it looks like a cardboard cutout of Black Cat is laying on top of DD/Spidey instead of standing over them all Girl Power like

It really does, it's just awful.

Did that dude do work on Phalanx Covenant back in the day? That is the first thing that pops into my head when looking at that cover.

 

[LordOfLore]

I really hope the relaunched/follow-ups to the solo books look/sound better because thus far with 2 of the team books showed my only thought is "Oh neat, one of Ewings books got a second chance".

 

[Rhaknar]

oh shit Vision's kid? thats awesome

edit: Ramos? noooooooooo what about my Extraordinary? ;_;

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Rhakner I dont recognize you without the disgaea avatar, so now its like another member coming home

 

[Mindwipe]

Should I buy the Transformers vs G.I. Joes issues on the Comixology sale? Anyone read them?

Yes, they're batshit crazy, in a good way. There's really not another book like it unless you're going into some really really small time indie stuff.

Thanks, I'll grab them when I get home to the computer!

Name is trash, logo sucks but Not Teen Titans? I'm down.

That is as much as i can tell you ^^;

 

[GAMEPROFF]

At least it seems like I now have to buy the ANAD Avengers book and it will ne complete.

 

[echoshifting]

Loving the roster for that Champions team. Very exciting. Fucking Viv!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

and yeah of course the logo is shite

#marvel

 

[slightconfuse]

The Impulse team doing A teen team book is so my Jam

 

[Owzers]

The logo makes it look like a promotional book from Footlocker.

 

[echoshifting]

I'm betting they are holding back one team member and it's gonna be a girl. ANAD Wasp perhaps?

lol I thought almost exactly the same thing

I think so, they haven't really developed as much but I assume Waid is planning something.

Also,

Nah...

 

[ElNarez]

being excited about Mark Waid writing a book

in 2016

with Ramos on art

Fair enough, I called Marvel's internal politics on using young Scott completely wrong on that one.

That second cover is really excellent. Really great.
