Enjoyed the Namor issue of Jean Grey. Se thought he was sexy
Made me want to read more stuff with
Namor.
Gonna pick up the Batwoman issue today even though I decided to drop it. It promises to give backstory on the business on the island with that chick who disappeared and I'm curious.
and so did I.

Any Ikemen!Nightwing yet?
Swamp Thing looks excellent!
I don't think so. I been glancing at statue forum at the moment (where I saw Batwoman).

That Swamp Thing maquette is gorgeous. It's gonna be over $1000 for sure.

Out of all these, Swamp Thing is the one that I might buy.

I dunno man. $1000 is a lot for one piece. I really dig that Red Sonja, too.

Have they announced when she goes up for pre-order? I may not be able to resist. If there's an unmasked alt portrait then I am a goner.
I don't think so yet.

Generation Gone #1: I almost didn't buy this; Kot usually doesn't click with me and it's a thick book. I'm glad I did, I ended up really enjoying it.
I liked the characters a lot; I thought they were all well-defined, interesting, and with compelling motivations by the end of the first issue. I was pleasantly surprised that the main trio didn't all kinda blur together; all three are distinct and they contrast nicely.
The hacking was kinda what you get in most CBS shows. Very silly. But this ultimately works in the story's favor;
That last scene was intense...gripping...I can't wait to see what happens next. That's right where you want to be at the end of a debut issue. Recommended.
Hawkeye #8: I *loved* Hawkeye #7, and I was a little disappointed by how much this issue puts the brakes on the major developments of the arc somewhat, just to hit us with a heaping helping of exposition and a totally unnecessary B-plot involving Kate doing her normal Hawkeye Investigations Thing. That part of the issue prominently features her crappy supporting cast; I could do without all of them. Eight issues in and they are all still so boring and forgettable. But despite this ongoing problem, the book is now leaps and bounds better than it was in its first six issues. The story with
is compelling, and this feels like it's going to be essential reading for fans of the character when all is said and done.
Jean Grey #4: I didn't think this was quite as good as the past three issues. I'm loving Teen Jean's journey throughout this arc, but her decision to seek out Odinson isn't as convincing or logical as the other characters that have been featured so far. I didn't feel like she got much out of it in the end, and I don't feel like I got much out of it as a reader, either. It seemed like there was
in general, here.
I still loved the way Jean's powers were portrayed, in fact I wish every creator who is working with a telekinetic character would study the art in this book. It is so much more fun when they aren't just standing around looking constipated. Her
was marvelous
. I need to see more of that.

Voodoo Hacking is the perfect context for literal spellcasting via computer.

too much Odinson and not enough Teen Jean

Great fit. I'm glad DC scooped him up.
So I gave America another shot because Kelly Thompson is amazing. Now I'm to the point of wondering if I ever even liked the character? Like, has she always been terrible and I just never noticed before? Plus the one good thing was the art and that's not working anymore either.
All New GotG is such a dope book! Like, it feels like they are writing something intended to be super accessible to people who only know the characters from the movies and they are fucking nailing it.
Renew Your Vows continues to be great.
Archie was shockingly brutal. Like, is status quo still god in the reboot? Cause if not
Astonishing X-Men was fantastic. Good lord I love the writing here. I think the last time I was this interested in the dynamics of a team was Champions. And Cheung on art? This is a top tier X book, right under Jean and Wolverine on my ranking. Higher than Blue.

To be fair, I think that was just Sink inking Denys Cowan

Sure I just mean to say, I love his Big 2 work and was hoping he would end up over there now that he's done with Marvel
Might also be Outsiders.

They'll never make the JSA comic I wanna read. I wanna pulp, 40s/50s team, with the Sandman, Hourman etc etc
Oh that would be pretty cool.

Have you tried Black Hammer?
Maybe not ANY team book but I think JSA could be pretty wonderful under Lemire

Oh wait. lol. That makes a lot more sense now! I've saw better Cowan tbf but I thought that looked specifically odd.

No gif?
If it's anything it probably is the Outsiders since its modern day Mr Terrific. The JSA teases point to it being the original team that's been lost in time/forgotten

Off-topic but I ordered Prey for Xbox and they sent me the EU version of the game. Will it work on my US Xbox?
I think Black Hammer is cool, but that it's more of a deconstruction that doesn't act like a team book. It's more focused on the individual characters rather than the team and them doing stuff.
I wouldn't be opposed to a JSA book though lol.
Hey Lore, if you are going to make a thread for Ikemen Nightwing, include that they are planning for the rest of the Robins and Bruce (maybe it be updated).
I wonder who they are going to work on next. I would kill for Bishoujo Steph, and have Tim display with her then.XD

wish America #5 was a better comic, buuuuut it had too many things I like working for it (namely, America, Kate, AmeriKate, Villalobos/Bonvillain, and Thompson's Hawkeye) for me to dislike it
Yeah it's not my favorite, though i generally enjoy their work
