I'm mad about Kaare Andrews doing Iron Fist again

What could they possibly have seen in the first version that made them want more?

The sophomoric philosophizing? The blatant disregard for a modern classic? Awful choice.

Kirkman always trolls people with the jump on point stuff.

Seriously, Kirkman is the only one who does this and it's funny.

Dan Slott called Rich out in in response to this tweet and his response was that he's a news source and did what they would do lol.

 

[Brianimaniac]

Rich is such a twat, sticking his nose into those Twitter threads all the time and pretending he doesn't understand why anyone is taking issue when he knows full well.

Dan Slott calls Rich out for everything. Not that Rich isn't a piece of shit, but Marvel keeps being surprised when this stuff leaks early.

 

[mreddie]

Also, tried to get a GAF account just to find the CW2 leak.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Am I crazy. Most of the art shown in these Marvel covers seem real rough.

I wouldn't be surprised if a Marvel stops doing these magazines and that sucks for retail stores.

 

[TheFlow]

gaf, tell which image books on sale to get

All of it tbh.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I think I love this little rhyming eyeball in East of West.

 

[Sandfox]

Renew Your Vows is going to sell really well so hopefully it leads to a Lois and Clark situation lol.

 

[TetraxShards]

Maybe someday....

They deserve each other tbf

 

[MG310]

All these books about Gun-Man and Paladin can't even get a look.

 

[Vibranium]

Kaare Andrews getting another Iron Fist book pisses me the fuck off

Me too. Poor Danny can't catch a goddamn break.

On the bright side....MOTHERFUCKING RICH RIDER. I REPEAT, DICK RIDER IS IN THE BUILDING. And not that "Richard Ryder" guy Bendis was on about.

 

[ElNarez]

Oh no not the sanctity of our marketing campaign.

Fuck artists, fuck writers, fuck colorists, fuck letterers, the real Art happens in the promotional leaflet, the cover blurbs and the solicits. That's the real important thing, that's what needs to remain pure and unspoiled. It's the best part of the comic experience.

Finally someone other than Marvel gets it.

he wouldn't respond to me on twitter

 

[ElNarez]

yeah whatever the Guardians movie was a whole bunch of nothing, but those trailers were fucking great

all movies should be trailers now hell yeah woo marketing that's the good stuff sell stuff do me

 

[Freezasaurus]

Soon there won't be any retail stores left, so it all works out!

All of it tbh.

Don't forget Strange Girl.

I hope this one turns out better than the mini, which I was not a big fan of after the first couple issues.

I really enjoyed it and thought it was one of the best secret wars books. Glad we get to see more of them.

I don't really care, but I understand why they would be annoyed with Rich.

I personally liked the mini and this book is being written by Conway rather than Slott so I'm hopeful.

 

[Boogiepop]

Is Strange Girl good? Preparing to make my Comixology sale order, and I know nothing of it.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I really enjoyed it and thought it was one of the best secret wars books. Glad we get to see more of them.

I liked it up to about the kidnapping part. It just felt too formulaic at that point. That's a plot-point we've been fed about 30,000 times. Hopefully this one keeps me interested.

Also, holy shit, Paper Girls is amazing. I originally stopped after #3, so of course #4 was when it got amazing. Love this book now.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Strange Girl is great. It's one of Remender's slightly older works and often gets overlooked, but it's a really solid, moving story.

 

[Brianimaniac]

I don't really care, but I understand why they would be annoyed with Rich.

The only person who benefits from Rich doing this is Rich. Everyone else breaks even or comes out worse.

 

[Owzers]

Relaunches are like twice annual E3s, no spoilers.

 

[Vibranium]

Relaunches are like twice annual E3s.

But thankfully with no people speaking on stage.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I find the whole thing a tad confusing. Are people mad at Rich for being Rich, or for reporting the news? Because if Marvel expects leaks occur and not be reported, they're clearly smoking some good shit.

Question about the Deadpool Mercs for Money cover in those leaks

Spoiler

Is that movie Negasonic Teenage Warhead on the cover?

 

[ElNarez]

Marvel are dipshits for expecting marketing material to not leak.

Rich Johnston is a fucker for putting the info in said leaks behind one discrete article for each item of news just to maximize page views and make it all about him.

And that's the way it goes.

Question about the Deadpool Mercs for Money cover in those leaks

Spoiler

Is that movie Negasonic Teenage Warhead on the cover?

Yup. Which, considering

Spoiler

the original Negasonic Teenage Warhead died during the Sentinels' attack on Genosha ALL THE WAY BACK in Grant Morrison's New X-Men

, makes sense.

It seems like it, I'm surprised they made that happen. Did Perlmutter have a nap?

But now Marvel can just say SECRET WARS and explain away all those inconvenient things that happened.

 

[ElNarez]

Deadpool is Marvel's Harley Quinn, where the book (and the line around it) sells well enough that you'd be heck of dumb to futz around with it too much.

Makes sense. I really hope Marvel and Fox get along like with Sony some day.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I'm actually nostalgic of a Marvel that was obsessed with Xmen. Something 90s me wouldn't think id say.

 

[Sandfox]

Well last year Rich had people convinced that Gambit was starring in Daredevil and it took Soule a while to convince people otherwise lol. Slott just doesn't like him for obvious reasons.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

the Negasonic Teenage Warhead thing is so funny to me considering she's like in 3 pages in Marvel Comics history. But she has a great Grant Morrison mutant name.

It's a lot cooler before you know where it came from. If you don't know, keep it that way.

I only read a few issues and it was ok. Art was terrible at least in the first issue or so. Looks like the artist changes later on at least.

I'd recommend his current Image work before it.

 

[frye]

they only do it for the retailers anyways, not like it hurts them any when these things get released ahead of time

The comics have been mostly safe from Perlmutter's hate-boner for Fox on the X-Men side of things.

Ok image sale on CMX has more details now and better formatted

I've got a boatload of Amazon credit, can anyone tell me if there's any detriment to merging my Amazon & Comixology accounts?

 

[Vibranium]

I know, I'm just surprised that her design is pretty similar to the movie.

 

[Sandfox]

More people know about the new design.

 

[Vibranium]

More people know about the new design.

That makes sense. I guess coporate synergy works outside the MCU.

 

[squadr0n]

Death of X is seriously the only ongoing X-Men title? WTF Marvel.

The only books that were announced that actually sound good are the joke books like the GLA lol. Not a single book im actually looking forward too accept maybe Nova.
