I enjoyed it. A solid 7.5 out of 10 for me. Some single issues in the middle were definitely top tier.
Yo WicDev volume 1 was fantastic. The writing is great, the way characters talk all seems to just flow naturally but tinged with some added acidic wit. The whole set-up is just really interesting and the art follows suit.
The whole scene in the underground with Morganna and Baphomet was fucking insane and probably the coolest thing I've read all year. I love this book.
I'm a little sad that Luci bit the dust so early but as soon as she broke out of prison I knew what was going to happen.
Scooby Doo: Apocalypse was really the one that shocked me so far. I knew Future Quest would be good, but I was wicked down on SDA, after I read it I was like "Is this real life?"

Guys, I read a new Flash comic in 2016 and it was damn good.
RIGHT?
God I love how it did some set-up for the main book, and then said "okay, but, seriously, let's DEAL WITH THE THING, let's fucking get into it, here, have A Firework"
Flash was so freaking good. I dunno that I could have asked for more, and that's a Flash Fact.

I hope there is a one year (minimum) moratorium on the alternating now/then type of storytelling in a single issue. Every second comic seems to do that. Do the writers think that just using that technique automatically makes their comic more interesting?!

Aquaman showed potential. Actually, I have no complaints about the writing. It was great. It was great in a way of being new reader friendly. I guessed early on who was narrating the story. We have the fantastic Aurthur and Mera relationship which is Aquaman to me. The problem with this particular issue was the art. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Hopefully that gets sorted out.

I assume that they feel it's the best way to tell that particular story, considering they're storytellers

Because it was Abnett playing in a sandbox that Cullen Bunn destroyed. I had no interest in reading a salvage story with ReBirth being around the corner.

Maybe they should consider the medium and what others are doing in the medium too. Storytelling methods can (and do) feel played out. Like this Captain America and the Mighty Avengers last days issue I am reading right now. There are some nice moments but they aren't allowed to linger. we get an abrupt cut to "previous". It just seems to get in the way at times.
It is like the editing in a Michael bay movie. Might be interesting in small doses but if everyone keeps doing it, we get Tak3n.
It really sets up the Rebirth run, and does a decent job at making Bunn's terrible run at least have some reverberations for the new run. The current state of Atlantis politics are solely based on what happened at the end of Bunn's run.
Banners Aquaman is good shit and in my top 3 books every month.

So what you're really saying is that bad storytellers make bad stories and good ones make good stories?
Your innocence is why we love you

No. You are just being reductionist now.
I am saying a 6/10 issue feels like a 4/10 issue for me now because of this overused way of storytelling.
In movie parlance - good scenes, decent story and bad screenplay.
I am not going to label the writer as a bad storyteller just for that because in comics he/she seems to do all three jobs.

Tried readind Extraordinary X-Men and I don't think I'll be continuing it.
X-Men is just in such a weirdly depressing state where it seems like everytime I pick one up, they're trying to one-up the last big awful thing that happened to them.

the last Black Canary is pandering to me and especially me in a way I kinda resent?
it's like a "how the fuck dare you" kinda thing

So what's up with
the terrigen mist clouds?
I'm used to seeing terrigen mists in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In the show, if you're not inhuman and you come into contact with the terrigen mist you die.
I guess that's different in the comic, but what happened that their is just a cloud of terrigen mist roaming the planet?

Long story short: Black Bolt detonated a massive bomb of terrigen to both advance his race and fuck over Thanos. Terrigen isn't lethal in the comics, though extreme exposure to humans can cause them to mutate and die shortly after. Terrigen can also restore mutant powers, however the powers will be altered significantly and can be extremely difficult to control. Unus the Untouchable, for example, could generate an unbreakable forcefield. After he lost his powers, they were restored by terrigen, however they functioned differently and he couldn't control his forcefield and accidentally killed himself (the air couldn't touch him so he couldn't breathe). Quicksilver had his powers restored and while he couldn't move fast like he used to, he gained the ability to travel through time

Met the Nintendo rep for my store today. Dude asked me what I was excited about and I gave him a somewhat deadpan when is NX coming out. Cool dude, even himself admitted that the Nintendo line up for this year is sparse and gave a good reason why Nintendo should wait for NX.

I didn't even understand what was going on through half of that trailer. Did they discover wearable Transformers and end up fighting over which of them has the superior fashion sense?
