My summer reading is sorted. I actually wanted to reread Annihilation as well because I forgot most of it, but it's impossible to find. I need to stop buying these now, bought Animal Man and X-Statix ages ago and didn't read them yet.

The cosmic Marvel of that era is some of the best stuff Marvel has ever done.

 

[tkscz]

Picked up SuperWoman, HULK, RedHood and the Outlaws, Flash and Titans. Finished Flash and Thawne showing off again why he's top villain.

Can't wait to dive in. I was a bit disappointed with Annihilation when I first read it, but I want to give the rest of that giant run a chance.

 

[Superflat]

Sorry to hear that dude. Some cunts will steal anything.

Dang that sucks. I have only had one item go missing like that. Of course it had to be Zelda:BOTW got a refund and bought it digitally because I needed to play as soon as possible

It delivered at 10:44am and I checked the door literally ten minutes later. It's just mind boggling. Vol 2 is coming tomorrow and I will flip my shit if the same thing happens. Worst part is that I won't be home tomorrow till late afternoon. Peace of mind about deliveries is out the window now, lol

If you're gonna do a +$50 order, try out www.instocktrades.com, it's where a lot of people buy trades since they're cheap as hell there.

At least it is if you're in US, not sure about other countries.

Cool tip! I used Amazon for same-day shipping (though technically it was overnight). So much for that plan >:l

Do you have an Amazon locker near your place. Could use that to be safe.

 

[Captain Skeleton]

I really enjoyed it but it's a first issue so it's set up.

 

[Sandfox]

Marvel.com: Is there anything else you can tease about what’s in store for our heroes? Any surprises headed our way?

Charles Soule: Absolutely: there’s something big about this series that I haven’t discussed anywhere at all yet—and Marvel’s been great about working with me to make sure we keep a lid on it. There’s a key element to this book that I think will have people very excited, but I think it’ll be best for fans to discover it in the book itself. My Twitter feed should be interesting that day, for sure.

I wonder what this will be.

 

[VanWinkle]

Dark Days: The Forge was pretty interesting. Not totally captivated by it. Certainly didn't feel like a one-shot to me like they advertised it as. It was 100% all set-up with no payoff. I really enjoyed the Hawkman stuff. Really nice writing.

Also, JRJR's worst art of his career. I honestly believe that.

Anyone read Winnebago Graveyard? It looks alright but i'm a bit unsure of Steve Niles IN 2017

To give Rosenberg the benefit of the doubt, if this happened at a point where he was still writing (assuming he writes books months in advance), he probably had way more leniency at BMS than at Marvel; Marvel probably has him under a contract and missing those dates would be a good way to get into trouble.

If he ended up only writing #4 a few months ago, they would still need to give the artist several months to complete that one and get back on schedule again.

However, #5 doesn't come back until December, so I have no idea man lol

They're a small press publisher and I imagine 4 Kids is a much more focused collaborative effort than Venom or Secret Warriors. Combined with his personal life problems I really don't think there's that much to it

 

[LordOfLore]

How a throwaway sketch resulted in Watchmen's most iconic symbol

Cool interview. He's reading Sheriff of Babylon currently.

It took a few months but here's the PR for Generations.

 

[mreddie]

Kamala has to make a joke about Carol's costume.

Also, Mahvoo giving more singers their own book.

I never read any of Niles before. WG has a House of 1000 Corpses vibe to it. Satanic cult 70s movie vibe and the tropes that go along with it. The art is spooky to boot.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Kamala has to make a joke about Carol's costume.

Or just take those giant fists and punch Carol right in her fucking face for the piece of shit she'll eventually become. :3

 

[mreddie]

No because time space continuum.

 

[Freezasaurus]

No because time space continuum.

Maybe that's what happened and what caused Carol to become such an asshole in the first place?

 

[Messi]

That Carol costume is fucking terrible. My goodness.

 

[TetraxShards]

That Carol costume is fucking terrible. My goodness.

It's what she wore back then though:

The lore Messi, the lore!

The Avengers EMH version was a great mix of that and the black one:

*sigh* How I miss that show.

Doesn't mean it's good lol

I'm pretty sure that costume has a cut out on the back to match the belly window in the front.

 

[Freezasaurus]

It's what she wore back then though:

It's basically half a costume. She forgot to put on the rest of it.

 

[Einchy]

Batwoman Elegy was pretty good, liked the story and writing, art was gorgeous. Gonna have to pick up some more volumes, up to at least volume 4.

 

[dan2026]

They should give her this costume back.
Its so much better than the one she has now.
And the long hair suits her better too.

 

[TetraxShards]

No.

I absolutely 100% disagree with this.

 

[dan2026]

No.

Well I can't argue with your reasoning.

 

[TetraxShards]

Well I can't argue with your reasoning.

You made such a nuanced argument yourself. Many layers, much reasoning.

Do you even like comics? You are constantly shitting on stuff. It's not healthy.

 

[Einchy]

You just wanna see a half naked Brie Larson. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[dan2026]

You just wanna see a half naked Brie Larson. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You don't?

To be honest I associate Carol's latest costume with her being insufferably obnoxious.
Which probably biases me a bit.

She was somehow written better with the old suit.

The fuck?
Always shitting on stuff? I don't remember shitting on anything, except Captain Marvel who is pretty awful at the moment.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Butt floss may be unfashionable now, but it will be everywhere in 2019.

I do.

Not really. She's pretty much the same except with a bigger spotlight and influence.

 

[Vic_Viper]

That Carol costume is fucking terrible. My goodness.

Seriously, wtf were they thinking when they designed that lol. I got going for the OG costume but why add the belly?

Edit: Didnt see the old Captain Marvel cover, my bad. Still doesnt look right imo in that image. Much prefer the Black and Yellow or even the latest costume.

 

[Einchy]

I just hope they don't use this haircut.

It's awful.

 

[dan2026]

I just hope they don't use this haircut.

It's awful.

Forget the haircut. What is going on with her neck?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Forget the haircut. What is going on with her neck?

Carol Danvers; super hero, secret giraffe

 

[Nudull]

All these years, and I never noticed the neck. Why you gotta destroy memories?

 

[my name is ed]

This is a terrible costume. Banish it to the shadow realm.

 

[fauxtrot]

You know a costume is bad when they have to add a sash that serves literally no purpose but to make it look a little less like she's just wearing a bathing suit with thigh high boots.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

you know what costume was bad?

Spider-Woman's old outfit

 

[tim1138]

God no, it's almost worse than her original costume. Leave it where it belongs: in the dustbin of history.

 

[flaxknuckles]

you know what costume was bad?

Spider-Woman's old outfit

Heck no

This would have been a better redesign:

 

[dan2026]

Ah you all have terrible taste.

Black and yellow Ms Marvel outfit for life.

On a completely different note, how has Dan Abnett's Aquaman run been?
I usually quite like his work.

 

[Messi]

Never been a fan of the bathing suit as a superhero costume.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I never found Carol Danvers to be an interesting character.

 

[Serpentine]

I just hope they don't use this haircut.

It's awful.

It's supposed to be her hair pinned back (for wearing her helmet) but some artists didn't get that

you know what costume was bad?

Spider-Woman's old outfit

The new one rules

 

[RoninChaos]

Anyone have any suggestions for where to pick up Spider-Man? Should I just start from brand new day? I've read like five issues and the writing is uh... not good. Lol is there a point where the story picks up?

 

[caliph95]

No
She is not interesting now but her costume is still way better
