The Riddler slashing someone up in a berserk frenzy doesn't ring true to me on any level.
And the Joker being morose because he doesn't find anything funny anymore?
I guess that's more interesting on some level, but it still seems weird.
I just don't think King is cut out to be a Batman writer.
I keep looking at his Batman work in an attempt to see something good, but I just dont think its there.

A podcast has been pretty adamant lately that King is going more for big moments but really doesn't think out the reality of the situations or the characters, and although I've liked this run I'm starting to come around to that thinking.
Like in this issue with Riddler.
They say Riddler only ever talked to one guard or something like that but the guard said he never asked for anything he thought would help him escape....but then he has a shank or knife to stab someone 26 times or whatever and he asks a ton of info about all the other guards? That in no way would help him escape? Really?
TIL Gwen Poole is based on a true story ;D

That ending in Invincible aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh wtf
Other non Shirtless Bear-Fighter or Wild Storm comics from this week:
Green Arrow
I'm extremely excited to see Percy revisit the
story in the upcoming arc. He's done a great job of riffing on classic story bits and melding them with modern continuity. And I so hope we get more
.
Green Lanterns
Still my favorite Rebirth book. Poor Simon is in desperate need of a win. I'm really digging how Humphries is expanding on stuff Johns brought in at the end of his run.
I Hate Fairyland
Kind of predictable, but still funny with great guest art.
Super Sons
A nice one off issue between arcs with solid guest art. This is probably the most charming book DC is putting out.

Hard Traveling Heroes
Kate Spencer, in both her attorney and Manhunter roles

Well, looks like my vacation plans are finished. I'm going to LA and stopping by in NYC for 3 days on the way back to Sweden.
Any recommendations on things in LA?

The guard scene was really bad, like "I just started writing a superhero comic for the very first time" bad.
Ewing is literally the only person who would remember Alter-Ego too.

A nice solid 21 issues. But considering there are 6 series there I haven't even started yet that number could and probably will shrink by September.
Yeah I am done on the Batman book until King finishes.
The framing for this story is also unintentionally hilarious
and flat out spoils the "marriage mystery" btw.
Just a horrible title drop.

Almost as bad as the top riddle of the issue: "When 7 8 9" right?

Man, X-Statix picks up right where X-Force ended. I thought there would be a lull for a bit or things would slow down while the new team is established. The series feels continuously off balance and I love that. Arnie is scary.
Also damn @ Doop + Corkscrew. -_-

So so gorgeous. So many bubbles. And his Aquaman is just killer.
I liked the actual story too. Gonna stick with this until Sejic leaves.
Enjoy the next 5 issues then lol

Aren't the monthly books now $3.99 digital or physical?

Most 25th issues are oversized.
All the 25th issues are oversized, so you're getting more pages for the extra dollar.

Honestly, I'm just hoping they don't bring a fill in during those 5. It must take a while to draw all those bubbles.

He's doing a few Suicide Squad issues as well. He has good editors so he'll make it on time.

U.S Avengers, yesss. My girl Aikku getting that screentime. ♡♡♡ Ewing really seems set on pushing her. Think she has become kind of his baby.
"I see you." uh oh sucka.
"I see you." uh oh sucka.
He's already drawing different books. Dude is fast when healthy.
Sejics delays have always been related to his health and his fucked up shoulder. Editors weren't the issue.

I'm surprised he's not in the Harley Quinn anniversary issue. Maybe his black and white Harleen fancomic got picked up by DC for a small OGN?

One of my favourite times in Marvel were the mid-late 90's stuff, very nostalgic for me. In particular, I remember loving the Spider-Man run starting from when Peter Parker took over being Spidey after Ben's death, through the Spider-Hunt, Gathering of five ad up to the Final chapter storyline.
I've hunting online to see if this run has been collected in TPB form, I can see Marvel have collect the Clone Saga, Ben Reilly saga and the rebooted late 90's Spider-Man stuff but not the run in the middle I'm looking for.
So, my question is, has this run been collected yet? If not are there plans to collect it like they have done with all the other Spidey runs of that era?
Bonus question, was the Fantastic Four and Iron-Man runs (After the Heroes Reborn story) ever collected? I have the Avengers TPB that were released that cover the same era.

Hey, if DC are doing some kind of Batman OGNs for France and probably with Snyder, maybe Sejic could get one.
I'd kill for it to be Harleen. Kill.
Hes really busy for DC that month though. I'm over the moon for him.

Just finished Alias for the first time, and now I've read the first couple arcs of The Pulse. Kind of heartbreaking that such a good book was ruined by going PG. Actually, Pulse isn't that bad, but it's just impossible to read it without wondering how great it would have been if it had just continued in the first book. I read an article that explains why - Bendis couldn't use Spider-Man and Wolverine in a book with cursing and drugs. So I get it. And the storyline remains good, and it makes sense from a story progression standpoint. But gawd, it just feels so... toothless. It might have helped if Gaydos had stayed on as the artist. That big bright Bagley art in the first arc just makes it impossible to keep that feeling.

Geoff Johns is on THR's list of the top 100 people in the entertainment business(he's #64 and has a good quote about Trump). Did a thread on the full list.

God damn, just checked out that Auquaman art, may have to pick it up for that alone.

Personally I think New Super-Man is really really damn good and not read near enough for how good it is.

That's a very Geoff Johns quote. You can tell he really means it when he puts stuff like this in his comics

Beyond the usual "The Getty is great, LACMA is pretty cool, some of the old classic movie houses are palaces, yeah the traffic is total butt" stuff?
Go see a comedy show or podcast show at Largo. It's a great venue.
Go to the Museum of Jurassic Technology (very, very hard to explain)
If that isn't your speed, check out the Velveteria (yup, a museum of velvet paintings)
Amoeba Music is one of the greatest record stores in the world
If you're there on the weekend and want a workout, check out the pick-up beach volleyball games on the beaches a few blocks south of the Santa Monica pier, then walk a block to Cha-Cha Chicken for a bite afterwards
Iam8bit has their gallery in LA so check to see if their current show interests you. GiantRobot has a big store in LA too if you're into figures and whatnot.
Head to Koreatown for some amazingly good (and cheap) bbq.

Now that I got my new iPad I'm going digital with my comics and catching back up, since I haven't been keeping up with the new stuff since January. Gonna delve into the second and third arcs of All-Star Batman tonight. Didn't realize it was ending as a monthly so soon. Kinda bummed.
I like the cut of your jib.
I will argue that Gwenpool is the most consistently excellence book marvel has. I love every issue.
