Yep, recent solcitis proved that wrong.
My problem with GA is that it hasn't been moving as fast as I would like.
I don't agree that Wicked Div is mid tier. Not when books like Invincible /walking dead /manifest destiny and Copperhead exist in the mid tier. It may not agree with me always but it is really well made and in particular the art raises it above that level.
I believe the design of the book was done by McKelvie, which makes sense and I read somewhere the OHCs are out of pocket for the creators. So if they cheap out its on the creators.
He's not on this month's solicits right. I think he missed one issue in the last series. That's pretty good going for Quinones. He is missing this issue to work on the Squirrel Girl crossover issues I believe.
His art has suffered a bit. Compare his Howard work with Bloodspell and you will see Bloodspell looks significantly better.
Is that because of yearbook?
Not really surprised by BvS ratings considering Snyder, but some of those negative reviews seem to have a little bit of extra bitterness in them. Even 'positive' ones seem to point to pace and disjointed nature of the film, which is a lot of the problems I had with MoS. But at least of lot of those are a little more even handed without throwing around 'fanboy' or other vitriol.
Almost all of the Marvel movies are entertaining, but IM, Cap 2, GotG and Avengers are all at the top for me.
IM2&3, Thor 2 and Ultron are the bad or disappointing list.
And as many problems as MoS had, Shannon's Zod is still a better, more fleshed out villain that just about anything Marvel movies have done outside of Loki.

literally how I feel on the marvel movies but put ant-man in the great list. Zod was an awesome villain.
He needs to do Zatanna, Howard can get someone else

I would never call Invincible or TWD mid-tier. If that was the case, Image wouldn't have any top-tier books. WicDiv is really riding on this next arc for me, so we'll see how it goes.
DC ain't giving Zatanna another solo series any time soon.
Sure they do, Saga, Remenderverse, Velvet.
Freeza we know you dont drop books. Even when you do you buy trades or catch up months later on Comixology. Who you kidding m8

I KNEW IT, I knew you were going to say Saga. If Invincible and TWD aren't top-tier, Saga sure ain't.
I don't know how I feel about Ant Man. I mean, it wasn't bad by any means...it just felt kind of 'just there'. I don't know.

I also feel the need to say Velvet has been going nowhere lately.
On the occasions when it actually comes out, I mean.

Oh right, she needs to be in a movie or TV

Live-action Zatanna would be amazing, though.
Oh well. Not like our ranking matters.

Especially these days, where a lot of books are struggling to hit issue 12, and then you have these books over here that are in triple-digits.
The Yearbook issues are part of the ones I still need to read.

I read 6 volumes to finish off Irredeemable today. Incredible book.
Turns out comics weren't a mistake after all!

Frank or mark?
Cuz morrison has a unique writing and dialog style and the others are just having characters saying something edgy :v
Insufferable!
I meant: one of the books in the in[blank]able series is about the relationship between grant morrison and mark millar.
Specifically this one.

I'm pretty sure my store doesn't drop anything from my pull list unless I request it to be dropped.
I really liked Gone Girl. I also liked A Beautiful Mind and The Deer Hunter. I would never call any of those movies "fun" in any remote stretch of my imagination.
I enjoyed that movie when I saw it. I never read the comic, but I liked the movie.
Out of all the ones I've seen, I've only disliked three of them, and only because they were more boring than anything else.
Good lord the push for her is ridiculous. But I guess if it brings in a bigger readership, then DC gotta do what DC gotta do.

God damn, now I can't wait to read it.
I'm gonna put it in vague spoilers because you need to read it for yourself but
the ultimates is looking at the Marvel universe on a conceptual scale, as a metafictional construct, taking the assumptions we've made about it and challenging them, by way of space gods and the people who kick them and it's amazing
UNVAGUE SPOILERS
it just gave an in-universe explanation for the Sliding Timescale, AND THEN, said there was something bigger at play. We're talking bigger than Eternity itself.

This is probably my favorite comic I have,, all the Bat stories,, cool as cover,, singed by 7 people

They aggressively memed it up, so they kind of deserve this. Sad to see that board essentially become /v/ with comics now though.
EDIT:
I enjoyed TT E1 as well but boy was it weird.
