Haha right, well
that is the 616, Lemire's book started right there off the back of that shot. The way they go about the whole try it again premise is a pretty good set up.

How did Marvel see this and say "Yes, this is good. Throw him into Defenders now.".

Who cares? The new season of Love is up on Netflix now. Obviously a better show.

Great. A Netflix show I don't have to feel guilty about not watching.
I should really cancel it. I'm their favourite customer, I sub every month and never watch anything.

Isn't that an HBO series?
I do the same, UK Netflix is pretty shit to be honest. I miss the days of changing regions easy.
After how dull I thought Luke Cage was I'm not really surprised the fumbled Iron Fist as well. Hopefully Punisher isn't a write off.
I am pretty sure that has to do with the fact that the concept was there before the shows were made

Punisher has got one of the dudes behind Hannibal as the showrunner, so I have faith in it.
Really? damn that's reassuring. Sure I read somewhere it was going to be shorter than the usual episode count as well so that's a bonus.
I can't wait for that and Defenders.

I honestly felt like the Netflix stuff had went strength to strength with DD season 1, JJ the. DD season 2. It's really only Cage that's shook my faith so fair. That said, some of the creative they've put behind Iron Fist...well, I won't hold my breath. Would really like it to be good though, I definitely care. I really don't want any Netflix otherwise, bar Stranger Things, which was fantastic.
Totally agree. The first 4 Episodes were pretty decent, but as Diamondback becomes more of a thing. And fucking shades.

I just don't watch much in general. The only TV I made it through last year was American Crime Story, which to be fair was incredible. Even wrestling, I'll just watch a clip on YouTube if something interesting happens and skim through PPVs except for the Big 4 and Money in the Bank since I usually stay up for those. Just find it hard to concentrate on most things, mostly down to my Asperger's I guess.
It leads to awkward moments at work because I'll wear a Flash shirt or something on dress down days and people will be like "You must be a huge fan of the show, right?" and I don't really know what to say. I have a Daredevil beanie I stopped wearing for this reason as well.
It's been a rough couple of months, and I've been feeling low key depressed for awhile now. I had a lot of really bad pains in my head affecting my sleep, which seems to be better for the last few days. It turns out I needed to get my ears syringed and I changed my whole bed as well since I was only getting the pains at night apart from when Overwatch and DOOM came out and I was playing KBAM FPSes for the first time in years.

Been a while since I'e had time to myself, so getting caught up on a lot of
books! Finished reading Spanish Fever. Collection of translated short comics from currently active Spanish creators. Wouldn't call it a must read but it had some really nice stories. (And some headscratchers).

Island is the kind of thing I might have followed if I actually had a local comic store to visit, but as a trade reader, it was just never on my radar.
Tetrax, wouldn't have pegged you as someone with Asperger's buddy. It doesn't come through at all in your online writing. Hope things are picking up anyway.

I wasn't diagnosed until my early 20s, so I didn't have the supports they have now, so I mostly made my own way. It didn't really exist as a condition that they tested for when I was a kid, and I was tested a LOT. The attitude from the docs was "He knows his name, he knows the alphabet and how to count, he's fine." Shitty, but that was the way of the world then.
I'm not a good socialiser, I'm much more eloquent over the internet than in person because I spent most of my time online, because hey, you can edit. When I try to stream it's a barrage of "Ah, um, er" (this is why I'd be terrible on a podcast, that and I'm super congested so I have to do a fuckload of audio editing for breath noise) and such and I'm useless in person. I never initiate conversation and I can't read body language or anything like that at all. I wear headphones outside with nothing playing because I'm terrified of being spoken to.
Things are better than they were this time last year. Employment definitely helps even if some days are worse than others. The air con is broken as well so it's like an oven in there right now. Mostly I just do the things anyone with mental health issues does, plus I meditate a good bit. They referred me onto a course for it and it's helped me a bunch since I finished.

Think Serp posted about Island getting cancelled the other day, it's a shame. I fell behind on it and stopped buying it near the end but it showcased some fresh work by independent creators. I don't think all of the stories were winners but it was still a very cool book each month. Plus it's always nice to see more work by Graham. Hope to see more from him soon.

question since it was brought up a few pages back: why did they decide to turn Psylocke Asian anyway?

I had always heard it was because Jim Lee wanted an Asian on the team, but it looks like CSBG debunked that awhile ago.

It might actually be, though.
Finally decided to go back and finally finish Hickmans Run.
Two Observations and one question:
A) Its a fucking mess to read in OHCs since the issues arent numbered and its a big clusterfuck so look at the reading order. I now just decided to switch books after I have the feeling a arc ended. Cant wait to get to Time Runs Out when its all collected in one book
B)Its so goood. Seriously. I love it so much.(((
C) I think they brought the Green Langern analogy to the Post-SW Universe? Where did she ended up, have they made something cool with her?

Sat and read through my last two Rebirth trades this evening. Read the bat books last week so I read through
Superman vol. 1 - This was probably my least preferred trade out of the lot, unfortunately. I don't think it was bad or anything like that but I'm not someone who has ever been a superman comic reader and the whole smiths set up is a little convoluted, so it felt a little rough between the Rebirth issue and the first issue settling into the flow of the status quo and less easy to enjoy than the others. I did really like the core thrust with Jon though as the team got going, it feels like there's a lot of potential there. It was probably the worst example of the trades I've got through as well of the artist changing out every issue. Don't want this to sound like too much of a negative analysis though, I'm not by any means saying it was a bad read by saying it was my least favourite. Switch Supermen was never going to be seamless, even with Rebirth, but with the plaster pulled off, I look forward to vol 2 hitting the ground running.
Conversely, despite really enjoying the bat books and out and out loving TEC vol. 1...
Wonder Woman vol. 1 -...Snuck as my favourite of the lot! I just enjoyed everything about it. I only ever read Azzarello's WW but I love how Rucka has not only came up with a method of incorporating all the different takes on WW and her story, and even made it the thrust of the ongoing narrative, but it really reflects WW's core theme of identity. I just found the story to work on every level. I have to admit I wasn't actually too hot on Sharp's art in previews and every now and again Diana looks a little too brainless Megan Fox for my liking but actually reading the arc, his art is gorgeous and totally perfect.

You should check out Rucka's previous run when you get the chance. DC started to reprint it last year and it's great stuff. I like the new run quite a bit too even if it does move kind of slowly. Rucka has a great voice for Diana.

Yea, I'd definitely like to check his older stuff out man, just a case of getting round to it haha. I have saw folks mention the speed of the storytelling as an issue, is the one in the present, one in the past thing still happening? This volume just grouped up the first six present day issues, so I think I have to get througg a volume of the Nicola Scott issues before I get back to what's going on.

Marvel loves to poison all nearby books with their stupid events.
"Okay, the X Men are starting fresh, back to basics, what do we do?"
Axel: "Have Marc write the Gold team and slap them with the Empire tie in my boy Nick is doing. Hey...where did Bunn and Hope go?"
Or
"I just wrote a 5 issue arc that will have the lead deal with their personal problems and fight someone who stands against their morals.
Wait, what's that sound?"

Lol. This is what will make MMM worthless, if they can't change their ways of pulling this shit. If I buy the first trade for this book, and six months later its a trade dedicated to tying into an event that I'm not on there's by, that's a full year between vol 1 and volume 3 before the main title thrust gets going again. Why would I bother? Not that I'll sit and pretend I was into the book, but this has happened to me a bunch of times with books I do care about or what to read.
The next one is when, by the time trade 3 is coming out in this scenario, they announce the whole thing is getting cancelled and rebooted after the next event.
