Never heard of it. But I am a bit behind in my animu-watching. Probably gonna hit up that new Voltron anime after I finish the new season of Orange is the New Black.

I was just listening to Rhys Darby talk about that on Comedy Bang Bang. I think I'm gonna give it a shot too.

Can anyone explain to me what Civil War II is about
Tony being a douche.
Does anyone know the name of the Wolverine book where a Wendigo is hunting a little boy, the little boy has a dog and
?
I remember that shit being so fucked up when I was a kid, and Ive been thinking about that book recently for...obvious reasons :/
I remember the art was like water colours aswell? Anyone have any idea what im talking about?
has to kill the dog because it was growling as they hid and the Wendigo would hear it

New Inhuman comes forth that has the ability to predict the future, two sides are formed on whether people should actually trust this guy or not.

Wolverine #129-130, by Todd Desago, Lenil Francis Yu, and Jason Wright did the colors

not on comixology either. There's like a year or more of Wolverine stories after Larry Hama's eight-year run on the series ended where they scrambled to do a bunch of filler. Warren Ellis wrote a padded four issues, Claremont actually came back for this nonsensical four issue story, and Todd Dezago did a bunch of filler episodes just to keep this really popular book in publication.
Weird. Man that story was fucked up anyway, fuck those issues.

Read all of Bruce Jones' run on the Hulk.
I was really digging the whole "modern take on the '70s Hulk tv show" vibe they had going for a bit and then it got really weak.
Back to Peter David's run I guess.

Spider-Women crossover is all about them two hanging out, also Silk is in it. They have laughs and fight stuff. I enjoyed it.

Peter David actually did some good stories after that was over.

Wanna wish Alan Davis a happy 60th birthday. Alan Davis is like my ideal superhero artist. Hes got Kevin Maguires facial expressions and body language, John Byrne/Neal Adams classical superheroic physiques, Gil Kanes fantastic sense of kinetic motion and physical movements, and Dave Gibbons panel-to-panel storytelling ability. Pair him up with Mark Farmer or Paul Neary, you got a great lookin comic.
The fact that he's still doing strong work today points to his mastery over fast fads and current trends.
Also for contributing to the world this panel from the tragically short Mike W. Barr/Alan Davis run on Detective Comics
Love Jim Lee's art. I mean, I love Conner's too, though.

I feel like Jim Lee's style really stuck once he got Scott Williams and he's doing his thing ever since, cuz his early work is practically unrecognizable. The second issue he ever drew was this fill-in on Alpha Flight.
Once he found Scott Williams on X-Men, it was like "OMG were made for each other lets do superheroes posing in big panels for the rest of time"
Dont ask me to explain the visual storytelling happening on this Batman page, you just have to accept it. DAP SWAG

Got the Jaime Hernandez artbook in! Took some pics for whatsinaname:
First things first, it's GORGEOUS. Pages are nice and thick and the book itself is great.
I only skimmed through it but there's a good amount of content. There's writing, strips, and drawings (used and unused). Highly recommend it to anyone into Love and Rockets. Hard to beat it for $5.00 on HamiltonBook!

I agree with this except I think Banner would be 5 and would solidly rank Reed over Doom.

Aren't Civil War comics (pick whichever one) proof that Stark is a moron?

I've heard of economic storytelling but that Huntress page is ridiculous.

Tony a moron?....he might be bombastic and arrogant, which is more of a personality characteristic than a sign of intelligence
Oh my GOODNESS!!! Just finished Shazam! by Johns and Frank. What a PERFECT book. Everything about it was just incredible. Reads just like a graphic novel in this format. It's full of joy, wonder, sadness, action. 10/10.
Retroactively makes me furious those two didn't do an ongoing out of this.

More that he has low emotional intelligence. That doesn't detract from his scientific acumen.
What issue does Doom help Sue give birth to Valeria and is like "no I wont name her "Dooma" Richards you imbecile"?
Also whats a good issue for some valeria / doom antics, besides the hickman stuff, ive already read those

Nah. Time runs out puts Doom pretty firmly over Reed in the "raw intellect" category.
It's doom's emotional issues/hubris/lack of trust that end up screwing him over in the long run, which is really what secret wars was all about all things considered.

A crime procedural with a bunch of Thors was a godlike premise that worked out so well
It's not that T'challa is above Tony, it's that Tony is so damn arrogant that he gets caught up by his own hubris and fucks up. He also tends to get super jelly of other people, which makes him more competitive. Superior Iron Man is a perfect example: Tony without inhibitions is really fucking smart, but he is also extraordinarily arrogant and that's his big down fall.

Scarlet Witch really just kind of bored me. Had to drop it 3 issues in. Seemed all too typical and not as creative as I was expecting it.
Might drop Spider-Gwen as well. The last issue was a snooze and way too tropey for me.

Yeah. Huge letdown. I stuck with it a bit longer but I'm done with that book.
It's baffling to me that they went with such a similar story to Dr. Strange without tying into it at all.
