It's all one big story BTW

I've gotten the gist of what's happened so far, I think. I didn't jump into it blind.

I mostly just wanted to post this, I think it's the biggest Justice League #1 cover homage ever:

Roman reigns is an Inhuman.

Don't bring down Inhumans like that

Why does Miles have an eye circle?

 

[TetraxShards]

Why does Miles have an eye circle?

What if it's actually a monocle?

 

[KoruptData]

I tried Black Canary again with the one-time creative team and this books audience is just not for me.

 

[tim1138]

Word is Doc Shaner and Steve Orlando are now DC exclusive. Good picks by DC to lock up.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Miles in that high society now?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Spider woman #5.

How much $ does she have? She complains that she used to just sleep all day. Maybe catch a film in the afternoon or go to the park but now she has a baby that takes up all her time!

Boo hoo. Trying having to go to work at a 9-5 everyday, Drew and then have a kid.

It was just so rich people problems it blew my mind.

She got enough money to look good though. She got her pre-pregnancy weight back quick.

Lafuente, nice

 

[whatsinaname]

So it turns out, Astro City Dark Age started off as a proposed Marvels sequel!

Charles and Royal Williams–two men whose lives changed forever after their parents were killed during a battle between Captain America and Hydra. The four issue series would tell the brothers’ quest for vengeance, as well as become a study in obsession that mirrors the new breed of Marvel heroes that were being introduced at the time.
“As a result, Charles would be driven to find a way to impose order and security on a chaotic world and become a cop, while Royal’s faith in society’s ‘rules’ would be shattered, driving him to rebellion and crime,” Busiek wrote in his original proposal for the series.

Intending to show how the brothers interacted with the Marvel Universe in the first issue, Busiek was going to have Charles, a beat cop at the time, be part of an attempt to bring Spider-Man in for questioning. At the same time, Royal would start his career in crime working as a petty thief; finding himself stopped by the likes of the Human Torch or Iron Man–heroes who wanted only to apprehend the criminal for authorities, not punish them. The problem for Royal was that times were changing, and a new type of “hero” was lurking in the shadows.

Biggest takeaway is that they signed Lewis LaRosa. That dude's art is gorgeous. Some of the others have been signed for awhile.

I didn't know Valiant had that many characters.

I'm not sure if you're kidding, but what gave you the impression that they didn't?

Lafuente, nice

They signed LaFuente last year. He worked on the new Archer & Armstrong that debuted this week.

Word is Doc Shaner and Steve Orlando are now DC exclusive. Good picks by DC to lock up.

It's Shaner, Orlando and Merino. The press release also features this:

An accomplished comics writer and scripter, Orlando is no stranger to DCE, receiving critical acclaim from outlets including Polygon.com (“Best Comics of 2015”), New York Times, io9.com (“Top 20 Comics of 2015”) and a nomination from GLAAD in the “Outstanding Comic Book” category for his run on Midnighter, the first openly gay male character to star in a comic book. Orlando has also contributed to the DC Super Hero universe with writing credits for Justice League: Darkseid War: Shazam!

which I'm sideeyeing so hard I'm a goddamn Picasso

 

[The Right Deal]

I don't post in here often, but I just have to ask; Is this par for the course humor for the new Power Man & Iron Fist series?

I think they said the same thing about Batwoman too (that she was the first gay superhero) back when she starred in Detective

Spoiler

i don't browse bss anymore since it's bad but i remember there was a good post listing all the gay leads in american comics, including "mainstream" ones that preceded her

 

[Owzers]

I know i go off-topic from time to time but let's stop posting about Valiant and get back to comics please.

edit: Squirrel Girl #8 was deserving of previous Squirrel Girl hype, i didn't like every issue in this run as i thought the middle got a bit dull, but issue #6 and #8 along with the first issue were peak fun.

Spoiler

Cat Thor was everything people could ask for in a comic

 

[shingi70]

Man That homage just reinforces how off brand Valiant is. They're the Gobots.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Ma. That homage just reinforces how ofd brand Valient is. They're the Gobots.

Hey now, that's a low blow!

 

[TheFlow]

Nothing wrong with valiant comics especially considering what some of you guys read on daily

 

[Serpentine]

Hey now, that's a low blow!

Yeah, the Gobots don't deserve being lumped in with Valiant

 

[Owzers]

Ms Marvel #11 - that inventor arc was a mistake.

 

[Messi]

Both sides need to stop slinging shit.

Shaming people for the comics they read is bullshit.

 

[Zombine]

Stop shaming me too please.

 

[TheFlow]

Both sides need to stop slinging shit.

Shaming people for the comics they read is bullshit.

Fair enough

 

[Messi]

Stop shaming me too please.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I'm not sure if you're kidding, but what gave you the impression that they didn't?

I was teasing. You, specifically, as it turns out.

 

[mreddie]

Pick a side marks.

 

[Messi]

Carol

 

[Freezasaurus]

Pick a side marks.

Man, so many people on Team Carol made the wrong choice. Might as well put a red shirt on She-Hulk.

 

[PsychBat!]

Neither.

None of this makes sense.

 

[Owzers]

Neither.

None of this makes sense.

Pick. A. Side.

I'm also Team Neither.

 

[mreddie]

Neither.

None of this makes sense.

Remember, it's Minority Report but stupid.

Also, notice Team Tony has almost all of Bendis favs.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Uh, so Steve is back an he wears the Cap Costume?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Neither.

None of this makes sense.

It does if you're Marvel.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Stop shaming me too please.

You are, without a doubt, the only one that deserves to be shamed.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Neither.

None of this makes sense.

Pretty much. Did they flip a coin to decide who to put on each "side"?

 

[VanWinkle]

I'm reading Superman For All Seasons. My goodness, it's such a beautiful story. I'm so happy to have this.

 

[Messi]

Uh, so Steve is back an he wears the Cap Costume?

Yeah they already announced that book and his terrible costume. Sam is still cap also.

 

[mreddie]

It does if you're Marvel.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

The 7 new readers they get from the film will help.

 

[Poodlestrike]

These teams make no sense.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Yeah they already announced that book and his terrible costume. Sam is still cap also.

I saw this but he wears the classic Captain America Costume in these.

At least its the classic again and not the Ugly Post AvX one.

 

[PsychBat!]

I saw this but he wears the classic Captain America Costume in these

You might have seen variants.

 

[mreddie]

These teams make no sense.

 

[Messi]

I saw this but he wears the classic Captain America Costume in these.

At least its the classic again and not the Ugly Post AvX one.

Ya... :/

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Yo guys, Have I ever said that Bullseye is the GOAT supervillain?

Ya... :/

Its so fugly. Sorry, but please take the Shield away from Captain Falcon, when we get the classic costume back for that.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Ya... :/

Again, I would bet anything I ran instances with this guy in City of Heroes.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I just hope this CW2 stuff doesn't spill into what I read.

I'm glad you appreciate Squirrel Girl sillymonkey, you've always been a good one.

 

[mreddie]

That's a nice book you're reading, would be a shame if someone...would have it tie in to a Marvel event.

 

[Sandfox]

Those teams should make for some interesting conflicts.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Who is the guy way in the back? Bucky?
