Deadly Class. Best Image book is best Image book.

 

[SoilBreak]

Finished reading it

Curious what writers will actually do with it, I know

Spoiler

Didio said there was a book spinning out of it, I don't expect too many non prime earth books. JSA stands the most to benefit but I wouldn't be surprised to see writers use Question, Booster Gold, or Flash Family. I'd love to see JSA setup before IC or Flashpoint or a silver age JLA book, or a silver age Superman book complete with Superdickery covers.

Comic con going to be huge.

Maybe a anthology series similar to Legends of the DC Universe

 

[flaxknuckles]

In the Cyborg preview it looks like DC finally came to their senses and gave him his TV show personality. But wtf is Batman doing alive?

 

[Simply Sarah]

Damn, Old Man Logan was actually really freaking good. Probably the best tie in this week.

Weird how Bendis goes from writing one of the worst to one of the best tie ins

Yeah, but that's so very Bendis. When he's on he's amazing and when he's not he can be bewildering.

Cyborg is about to become a certified A-lister, dudes. bank on it

TV show as in Teen Titans cartoon?

 

[ElNarez]

No one can forget Young Avengers. I didn't like it, Loki's role was okay though from what i remember.

What I'm saying is it's the logical end-point of what he's been doing. Having proven there could be a good Loki that everyone including Thor could love, Kid Loki won, and forever destroyed the possibility of a completely thoroughly evil dickish Loki. But Loki being Loki, he still had to try, and because he was thwarted by himself, he realized there was a problem with the very idea of Loki itself, hence the "working for Asgard in exchange for his misdeeds being purged from history". You should be all set now, enjoy the ride, it gets weird from there.

Tim and I were just talking in the Google hangouts and DC should do a Tales of the DC Multiverse monthly. Let a different creative team write any story they want each month.

Yep. Booyah and all

Dang, just finished Elektra: Assassin for the first time. And that was really enjoyable and absolutely nuts. Really crazy, but also really fun. Now I just have Born Again left and I'll have finished off my Miller DD stack...

is that the recent book with the crazy art? if so I liked it aswell

 

[frye]

Super into the looser/rougher style Weaver's got going on in that Infinity Gauntlet book so a pretty decent choice for a first Secret Wars thing, I think!

 

[Serpentine]

i feel like We Are Robin is gonna be dope

Yep. Booyah and all

i was pretty happy to see that

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Yep. Booyah and all

This is awesome. Now let's hope for a few Beast Boy cameos.

 

[Boogiepop]

It's actually from Miller and back in the 80s, but it does indeed have some crazy and stunning art. Bill Sienkiewicz can definitely draw up some great stuff.

Elektra: Assassin is nothing short of a masterpiece and this is a good video that details the insanity that went into the collaboration between Sienkiewicz and Miller on that book.

$20 for the run. I'm gonna go for it. I fuckin loved Hitman.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

So I still haven't gotten any survey to fill out to get my Kickstarter copy of Sons of the Devil. This is literally the first KS I feel burned on. First we were promised a trade then months later it gets picked up by Image and turned into a monthly. Not exactly what I donated.

so the new Constantine just gets a lady skinned alive like it was no thing. it feels right, but weird.

"Not a superhero, that's for dam sure." I love that line.

Yeah! People talk a lot about how Miller's run from 86-87 produced 4 classics but it's funny that my two favourites (Born Again and Elektra) come from him being broke af in California and a weird collaborative arms race respectively

$20 for the run. I'm gonna go for it. I fuckin loved Hitman.

wait what

 

[Zombine]

wait what

It's $20 for Plastic Man. I read Hitman based on his recomendation and I loved it so I won't hesitate to buy this.

i own locke and key vol 1-4. I didn't want to spend $30 to get the last two volumes yet. I could get all of them digital now for $16 and sell my hardcovers....

Or i could do nothing.

Or you could spend $16 for everything digital and keep your hardcovers too if you really want them.

I ended up going the $16.20 route and will probably ebay the hardcovers. I have too many books anyways, where are all the statues i don't own yet going to go?

On the plus side I just got 100% in some coursework. Day just got a lot better. Think I'll treat myself to Infinity Guantlet and Old Man Logan.

CBR: XM Studios Cancels X-Men, Fantastic Four Products

Singapore-based statue producer XM Studios Premium Collectibles announced on Facebook that the company has been asked to halt production on all X-Men releases, including its nearly complete Sentinel Diorama that features iconic characters like Colossus, Nightcrawler and Rogue.

The post, which went up Monday, reads,

Folks, it's been a sad day for us... due to reasons we aren't at liberty to disclose, we have been asked to put a hard stop to all X-Men characters for now. That means Cable can't be released, and neither can the awesome Sentinel Diorama which we've all been so looking forward to. Still, we continue to have faith that this isn't an indefinite red light forever and you can have our promise we will be back to producing these dream pieces once the coast is clear - no matter how long it takes!

Though the Fantastic Four isn't mentioned in the original announcement, as subsequently noticed by Bleeding Cool, XM Studios responded to a fan's suggestion of a Galactus Avengers diorama with, "No Fantastic 4 too... same issue."

Sorry to hear that homie, hope it gets better :/

Infinity Gauntlet #1 was a great introductory issue. Really dug Weaver's designs and style for the world they have going on. Will definitely follow this.

Merchandising wise yeah I think Marvel is trying to screw Fox. Too bad because those products looked really great.

Good God some of his faces are atrocious.



What is happening to Mera's jaw? Is it about to unhinged so she can consume someone whole?

It's like Derpy Land porn faces.

Is he known for having a gum fetish?

I'd say his artwork is top notch and he's not afraid of making his work expressive at the cost of looking ugly. To me, that's like mocking an actor for looking ugly when they're crying. Like yeah theyre not gonna look good when theyre expressing pain. That's like the center of that expression. It literally screams 'something is wrong'! If you're not a fan of how Quitely draws faces you will probably feel the same way about Foreman.

Some artists dont wanna go there, and thats fine too. Like this guy

Earth 2: Society looks awesome. And Jorge Jimenez on art! That boy can draw good comics.



Hype!

Whose work I havent seen before but it looks great!

God fucking damn it no.

That must have been the contract she posted on Twitter a few months ago with a stack of Archie. They hardly cancelled Squirrel Girl after 1-2 issues. Don't do this Marvel.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The good thing about "fun" books is that they aren't held back by continuity.

The bad thing about "fun" books is that they don't hold any greater importance in the universe their in.
