Man, you think even that first example is?

Just read these three issues and pretty much completely agree. Very happy with everything I've read so far. Tec and Flash both remind me a LOT of late 90s/early 00s DCU which is what I wanted.
I didn't have any issues with Flash's art either. I think my only real hangup is the use of CG effects. Doesn't really go too well outside of the lightning (which also looks a bit too... CG-y at points). The use of narration boxes saying stuff like "I'm the fastest man alive etc." reminded me a lot of the Wally stuff I've read, which was cool! I can't say I'm excited to see more speedster villains but everything else was pretty great so I'll see how it goes.

Anyone here read Wayward? It's a fun action romp.
Yes.

I agree with you. Not that the first example is all that bad, but Samnee's style looks better without all the busy-ness in the coloring. And Rivera's work looks better in The Valiant than it did in Daredevil.

Yeah there are a few of us here who read it. Can't wait for it to come back in September.

Been a busy night and a few pages late, but I'd like to also agree Cable has been amazing in Uncanny Avengers. Glad to see Cable love here.
Totally Awesome Hulk was also very cathartic. Enjoyed it very much.

Captain America: Sam Wilson 10: I felt nothing. Kinda dull. That last page though
CWII Choosing Sides 1: bleeeecccchhh hard pass. Awful.
Comics were a mistake

I laughed at Captain America because the guy at the beginning reminded me of certain comic-related websites.
I'm going to go more spoilerific with thoughts this week:
Sam Wilson:
Gwenpool:
TA Hulk:
Uncanny Avengers:
Ms. Marvel:
This was about all I could read today as I wasn't really in the mood to go for more.
Sam Wilson:
I'm kinda mixed on the black hero meeting because it will make some people roll their eyes, but it's also really cool to see a form of community between the black heroes. I'm not a War Machine fan, but I felt Sam gave him a really good eulogy and I like how Spencer brought up how similar the two are despite not really knowing each other all to well. This was a pretty cool idea for a tie-in and the Rage tease at the end gives us a bit of the ongoing story
This book continues to be funny while telling the type of story you would expect from a serious comic book. The art was amazing as always and I felt for Gwenpool, which I never would have expected when this character was first revealed. Batroc's comment on how the comic world must be one sad fairy tale was great along with Dr. Strange's part in the story.
All I can say is that it's nice to have Bruce back and seeing him letting all his pent up anger out on Tony was a really cool scene. Now to see what happens with the character next. Pak keeps bringing up the car metaphor and I'm not sure if he used it in his previous run, but it's pretty decent.
I'm mixed on this issue because the book is clearly getting better and this continues the trend, but I'm tired of all the bad stuff happening to Hank.I think there's more to the story than the assumption Jan made so I'm just going to let Duggan tell his story. Jan's new costume looks like here EMH costume so I automatically like it and it's nice to see young Cap doing stuff on the team.
I didn't really like this issue, but having someone Ms. Marvel knows get predicted as a serious criminal is a pretty interesting dilemma for the character in the next issue
This was about all I could read today as I wasn't really in the mood to go for more.
A friend of mine got a chance to interview him a few years ago and I basically told him I'd break his toes if he asked those things.
(The interview is at http://www.honestpublishing.com/news/honest-alan-moore-interview-part-1-publishing-and-kindle/, and is pretty good.)

Civil War II: X-Men #1
This was okay. The chemistry between the X-Men teams was good, although the dialogue was a bit hand hold-y. Not sure I feel this plot, even though it was inevitable.
Overall it's a decent tie-in.

I especially don't like Nightcrawler's position at the end. Also: who the fuck is Monet? I don't like her and apparently she has all the powers. She's been on the Uncanny team and I don't like her there, either.

Do this. His run starts pretty much right after Secret Invasion and is very good too. a good idea might be to look for a MU free month code if u don't want to pick up the trades/digital.
Hickman's FF run starts out directly dealing with what has happened in Civil War.
Also recommend Bendis's All New and Uncanny X-men.

That was always going to be the case when you attempt to squeeze a two hour film into five issues. I might pick up the collected edition but I've read the novel and watched the film, so it would be a bit of an overkill.

Rebirth Rankings of the week!
Aquaman>Detective>WW>Action>Flash
Really bummed by Flash, I've been excited for this book since the announcement of the first story arc, but it's two issues now that have mostly felt like rehash with a little stinger at the end. This really needs to pick up in the next issue or two.
Action felt like it moved really fast but it also felt like a lot of rehash with little happening.
Aquaman was just great. It sucks that we're still on this whole coexist story line but Black Manta really came off as a threat in this issue and it got into the story fast.
Detective was a really close second. I still love the dynamic and the team, I'm just not in love with the premise of the story yet. Hopefully it ends up being a surprise though.
WW was just ok?

Batman #1 was great. Much better than the Rebirth one-shot. It reminded me of Black Widow's opening issue.
wonderful, wonderful list right here 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

A comic I did 5 years ago when I was doing comic strips for the paper. I produced a lot of crap but I think some of them were genuinely funny. Or I just laugh at my own sense of humor too much.

Randomly grabbed Rai 14 to check It out and I actually really liked it. No clue what's really going on in the grand scheme of things but I was able to follow the basic premise easily enough.

Nothing good to say about what I've seen or heard on Suicide Squad. Everything about the flick looks incredibly lame to me, right down to the Will Smith and Jared Leto castings.
I hope to eat my words because we need a viable DC alternative to the MCU...competition could be good for superhero movies in general. But this looks like a disaster.
