it's a name

that reminds me of the time when I saw my name spelled "Hosay".

Who is he and why is there a thread

 

[Squire]

Plus Disney want to keep all the attention on the Force Awakens seeing it is going to be at SDCC.

They also have their own expo. Disney doesn't need SDCC, so by extension, neither does Marvel.

Hosay Can You See?

 

[Serpentine]

OT but I'm about to go to my job interview. Really really hoping it goes well.

good luck breh

pretty crazy that Kipp misses work for a day and they're already about to hire his replacement

What's an umberto

i think it's a typo and he means "Humberto," as in comics superstar Humberto Ramos

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

If you haven't read it, the Future's End: Grayson one shot is pretty damn stellar.

Hilariously, that is included, but I just looked at it and dismissed it as a dumb tie-in. I guess I'll give it a read when I get home.

 

[BrightLightLava]

Who is he and why is there a thread

Internet writer, he said that Marvel wasn't going to SDCC because "DC is better". It lead to the MCU vs DCCU thread of the day.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

when are ya'll gonna learn to stop clicking on comic threads in OT

 

[PsychBat!]

Who is he and why is there a thread

some asshat who pulls reports out of his ass saying this and that regarding news about the innermost secrets of the MCU and stuff.

There's a thread because Umberto "reported" that Marvel Studios are not showing up at SDCC cuz DC is better or some shit to get the fanboys riled up.

So I missed nothing of value then, gotcha

 

[Serpentine]

makes sense. Marvel knows DC is bringing the heat and they're motherfucking SCARED, so they're taking a forfeit L to prevent further embarrassment

 

[mreddie]

I love how Bleeding Cool says big changes are coming for ______ but really don't say what they are.

 

[PsychBat!]

yup

the thread is funny though. It's all nonsense and bile spewing here and there.

I'm being absolutely legit when I say it's an amazingly crafted experience. Look forward to your thoughts on it.

 

[The Adder]

Trying to think of exceptions:

In comics the only people with "Doctor/Dr." in their alter ego names are either evil, magical, or psychologists.

 

[whatsinaname]

Umberto Eco should write a comic. Drawn by J H Williams III.

I'll make sure to report back. Thanks for enlightening me thus far.

Ms. Marvel #16

 

[GAMEPROFF]

It took a while, but I completed today finally my Ultimate Spider-Man Peter Parker Collection. Yay! Really excited for the upcoming Miles Complete Collections.


The Death of Cover still makes me sad everytime I see it.

 

[Rhaknar]

ms.marvel is one of those books that I think falls apart when that guy isnt drawing it (like during those wolveirne issues for example)

some books can get away from using whatever artists (usually team books) but some are too attached to a specific one (like the latest silver surfer for example)

I liked Miyazawa's artwork, I want him to be the main artist. AAs art kinda bugs me at times.

 

[Future Foundation]

It's always so weird to see people get up in arms about Umberto/Latino Review but don't show an ounce of skepticism towards Josh Wilding/CBM, CosmicBookNews, 4Chan, or any of those other sites.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

And the best farewell issue of all time (at least on Marvels side)

 

[Freezasaurus]

Alright, I'll say it. Ms. Marvel really shines because of the art and the slice-of-life portions of the book. I think a lot of times the action segments are largely hampered by a dull cast of villains. It definitely hurt the second arc of the book.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I like how shes acting like she is in a bar but sits on a hot dog stand.

But why cant she just date Bruno?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Cultural differences? Friendzone? I'm sure they're going to drag the plot-line out for a bit.

 

[Messi]

I liked Alphonas art on Runaways more than his Ms Marvel stuff.

I thought the Inventor was an appropriate villain. He was kind of silly, just a bit menacing, but that's wholly Ms. Marvel's style. So far, I think it's worked great, but I've yet to catch up.

Yeah, maybe. Maybe they will ship them later.

Nah i still don't know what Futures End is but that issue was good.

 

[Messi]

I thought the art in the Grayson Annual #1 was dreadful. Such a step back from the usual art.

 

[GrandHarrier]

So will Spider-Gwen be the fastest back to #1 for a Marvel book ever? Or have they done it quicker than issue 5 or 6 or w/e.

Gonna approach that renumbering singularity where books are renumbered back to 1 before they're even number 1 and the entire industry just collapses in on itself.

I'm getting there slowly. Few more volumes to buy and I'll have the set as well.

My issue with him was that he just wasn't interesting. A villain has to be just as captivating as the hero whose book you're reading, otherwise you're not going to care. I love the slice-of-life content, but the actual super-hero'ing could use some improvement.

Yeah, it's always a bit jarring when they throw a different artist in for one-shots and annuals. Especially when the regular artist has such a gorgeous style.

Aren't Annuals sometimes used as a tryout for new talent? They put them on a book adjacent to a big selling book to see how fans react.

You know who I liked? Ben Oliver. He worked with Morrison on Multiversity: The Just. Loved that issue.

How much are you missing?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

How much are you missing?

A few of the original run's trade paperbacks and I don't have any of the second run's trades yet.

 

[Nudull]

Bruno sucks, Kamala x Robbie forever.

 

[Messi]

Bruno sucks, Kamala x Robbie forever.

Why does Kamala have to be with somebody?

 

[WanderingWind]

Reed Richards is the best villain Marvel has made since...uh....a while.

 

[Mudcrab]

Reed Richards is the best villain Marvel has made since...uh....a while.

Which one?

 

[WanderingWind]

Which one?

The one on the right.

 

[Nudull]

Why does Kamala have to be with somebody?

Why do lead characters from a single book always have to end up together?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Why does Kamala have to be with somebody?

BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH OTHER CHARACTERS IN LIEU OF OUR STAR-CROSSED KATE AND MAGS.

Thanks DiDio.

you can say it because I agree. A lot of my favorite books would quickly stop being my favorite books (or in fact, did) if the artist changed

Rocket and Ghost Rider are 2 easy examples. Nor do I think Surfer would work without Allred's wonderful quikyness

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Red Hood/Arsenal #1:
An ok start but nothing really important happened other than catching up with what Arsenal is doing nowadays. Very Arsenal focused. Arsenal has no trucker cap. Forever miss the trucker cap.

Constantine: The Hellblazer #1:
Lovely legs. That descent in the 9 circles of hell was cool. It's nice to know hell demons are huge fans of

Spoiler

Die Antwoord

and

Spoiler

Danger Mouse.

Constantine isn't that much of piece of shit......so far. Just has his shit locked down.

RUNLOVEKILL #1:
Very cinematic. Eric's art is just great. THE HANDS! Lot of mystery though and not too much info is given about this walled-in city. Reminded of Mirror's Edge.

 

[ReAxion]

thats a great av, Messi

 

[Zombine]

thats a great av, Messi

He's already looking for a new one.
