vol 1 trade is coming in my next shipment....the excitement builds.
SO IN TOUCH WITH THE TEENZ
Isn't that just tongue-in-cheek though? The humor comes from how streets behind Loki is when it comes to modern internet lingo. There's another layer there, unlike Sam "Epic Fail" Alexander.

Uncanny X-Men was good this month-great art. But those fucking new kids have to go. So annoying.
You are balls. Seriously. Loki is obnoxious and evil and terrible, of course he's gonna unironically say "lulz". His thing is to be a little shit always.
Fuck man, it's a pretty smart book with tons of layers and character and shit and you guys are saying it's balls when it's playing to the Tumblr crowd. To which I say "no shit Sherlock, where the fuck do you think teens are today?". Young Avengers is a teen book for people who are teens right here and right now, and it works wonderfully in that way, just like 90s teen books were all about dudes with rude attitudes.
But also: Fuck Avengers Arena.
But also also: can't expect manchildren to get anything about being a teen lol
Tons of layers? It's as shallow as most teenagers. Are you 15? Is that why you "get" it?
We disagree on a few things, but i totally stand by you on YA. Loki is the fucking best.
*imagines reading Runaways where everyone is annoying and the plot sucks*
That would be Young Avengers. I'll give it more time to see if Gillen can come up with a story that is more than " TEENAGERS!" Okay, everyone isn't totally annoying in Young Avengers, and i do like Loki. But through the first four issues the parents plot seems to exist only to have the characters interact with each other, much like Bendis' Avengers book only existed so that everyone can stand around a table eating pizza while talking like Spider-Man.

If you're just gonna do a cursory reading of it of course you're gonna miss stuff you've never tried to understand me you're not even my real dad fuck you i'm leaving.
But seriously, McKelvie is fucking great at putting lots of little touches and details that add a whole fucking lot to the story.
But also, maybe? Maybe it's like one of those ringtones that people over 20 can't hear. Shit, I'm turning 21 in July maybe issue #7 is going to be The Fucking Pits. I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Get all those feels. #believe.

I've never read a whole Channel 52 segment...just seemed like a blob of arbitrary text from the panels i looked at.
I just ignore them.
It feels like they're trying to do the newspaper thing that Marvel does where they do a quick over view of things you need to know, except more intrusive and annoying and completely useless.

Man, say what you want about Hawkeye-Daredevil is hands down Marvel's best book month after month. This issue!! So good!!
I hope it marks an actual change in the tone of Supergirl going forward. It was so generic to start.

Francis Manapaul is such a great artist. Flash has been a orgy to the eyes month in month out. Book needs to be in a museum .

Lol there's no depth at ALL. The whole plot is just "Omg parents vs their teenage children. So RAW, so REAL." It's like the most ham fisted metaphor ever. Your obsessed defense of this shitty book is hilarious though. Name calling because someone doesn't like this mess, who is the man child here?

See, A Smart Cool Teen would've seen the lack of capitalization and the addition of a "lol" to mean that This Is Not A Serious Argument, and that I was making comedy because we're arguing about fucking funnybooks so levity seems fucking appropriate.
And, yo, I can make the exact same point you made. So I will.
In conclusion: Fuck Avengers Arena.
JL 20:
Batman Inc: What's with all this fun slipping through the cracks? Not my favorite issue of the week, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Aquaman: One of DC's new books better be an Others spinoff. Seriously. Also, relevant.
Young Avengers: Yeah, I think I'm done here. Art aside, I just cannot get into this one.
Seriously. I really wanted to love Supergirl in the beginning but I just could not get into it at all. This last issue was much more up my alley.
Lol @ Batman's anti-WW plan being "Call Superman." I really want to know all of what went down during that five year gap in the book (even if I do really hate this new, angry J'onn). The Trinity War promo kinda gave away Atom being a double agent. Element Woman is my new favorite character. She's out there buying burgers for the homies.

Your shop is clearly against smiles. Too many people smiling and having friendly conversations in these books.

Avengers Arena has good writing DESPITE the premise, which was universally criticized when it was announced. I don't hate when there are very basic plots, the writing just has to make up for it. YA doesn't do that. There's moments of brilliance like when Loki insinuates that Hulkling is a figment of Wiccans imagination or any scene between Hawkeye and Marvel Boy. But then Wiccan opens his mouth with his Degrassi reductive thoughts and it's the worst book of all time. I wish he had killed himself in the last issue.
The artist on JiM is so good. Why the fuck we still got Ramos on SSM?
I'll be getting vol. 1 this week, along with Godzilla: Half-Century War. My LCS just so happened to have a trade of Priest's Black Panther, too, so I should get to grabbing that, soon. Also, X-Men, next week. Hype.
This is literally everything you would want in a Godzilla comic. Godspeed.
How long is Journey into Mystery planned to be? Might buy it if it's a short run.
Thanks for reminding me of this.

Element Woman so much. I'm so happy they brought her through Flashpoint quirky personality intact.

I like Arena and Young. They're both rad.
YA is pretty much like Buffy to me. Anvil-sized metaphors for growing up, great dialogue, and awesome characters.
And a much higher budget.

Guys, if a decent writer got on Flash, it would be one of DC's best comics. The art is on another level but the writing is (I haven't read the past few ishs) just so damn bland. It's not offensive, it's just... there.
Also, I didn't really like the redone Rogues. Johns hit the Rogues dead-on, and Final Crisis Rogues' Revenge is seriously the best characterization of the team, so maybe I'm just a bit jaded that they're not dominating as characters.
