Agreed. She's a lot better than Spider-Gwen in my opinion.

I swear for AoU and Axis Marvel got the whole thing done before issue 1 so no delays....at this rate I'll start and finish first term at uni and go on two short holidays before Secret Wars is over
I liked that one, the Legion one, and a couple of others. The quality difference between the various two shots was wiiiiide.Convergence: Blue Beetle was actually really good. Turns out it was written by Lobdell.Seems he can actually do decent work when he isn't phoning it in. I really appreciated how this particular "fight" worked out; The Legionnaires don't really have any intention on breaking Legion code (no killing) and this book handles that well. The solution that a rather well written Ted Kord comes up with is rather cute (disguise the city with illusions created by the Legionnaires to make it seem like it was "destroyed" to satisfy Telos' demand.).

I know it's old but I need to voice my appreciation for the Hawkeye song that I only discovered the other day.

Though the virginity bit is a BLATANT lie.

I can't help the feeling that Marvel were not expecting the success of Spider-Gwen and that they had enough story just for that Edge of Spiderverse issue. The way her solo book started was so scattershot. It feels like they had a really fantastic costume first and have since tried to tie and character and story around it.
I will say I am enjoying the book now and its slowly getting better but it was a rugged start.

Oh sure. I'm enjoying a fair share of them so far. Been catching up on the ones I either missed or just hadn't gotten around to reading.
Convergence: The Question: Kate thinking that Helena was sleeping with Renee was weird. Maybe I'm misremembering but I don't think Helena ever gave any indication of being anything other than heterosexual and I'm pretty sure both she and Kate had worked together at least a couple times before. I guess you can chalk it up to irrational jealousy.

Caught up on SG.
I do seem to recall someone commenting that part of the reason Ultimate Spider Man sold so well was because it was available in places like walmart. Reading a book like SG, i can't imagine its sales potential being realized solely via availability in comic shops and direct sales. Title should be able to do very well with children too.
Or with an adult swim show.

I looked at the names but avoided the descriptions. I don't want to be spoiled either really.

I don't think Adult Swim would do it, being on a Warner-owned channel and all.
Maybe Netflix, since they already do Marvel stuff and have an adult cartoon on air already (I don't remember what it's called, something about a horse). I've been watching Bravest Warriors today and something like that but with Marvel characters would be awesome.
People might miss Young Justice, but I miss the DC Nation shorts even more. So good.

Thanks bros, it's not the job part that's rly bothering me (I have another one that's my main source of income) but it's a trip bc I've come here since video stores were actually popular
Not quite true! There's another in town (further away tho) that I found fairly recently, they get smaller titles and foreign films we don't get sometimes but they have a way smaller collection of old shit, so eh

I feel your pain bro. There was an arcade at our local mall that's been around since my parents were kids. There was a Time Crisis 2 machine in there since the early 2000s. When I was young, we used to hang around at the mall cuz that was fuck else to do in this town, and I would play that shit like every week. Graduallyu stop going to the mall at all, but every time I was in the area(and the gym I work out at is close by so), I would stop by and play a quick game of Time Crisis 2. Had all the top scores on the cabinet, same initials. It was a little constant in my life.
One day about a year ago, I walked in there and the machine was gone. I looked around the whole fuckin' arcade wondering if they moved it again, cuz it happens from time to time. Nope, it was just...gone. So bummed fam, it was like a part of my childhood just died lmao.
Came back a month later and the entire arcade was gone. Completely walled up, a blank space. Like it had never been there at all.
SO UNBELIEVABLY BUMMED THAT WHOLE DAY

Marvel still be like,
That's not Emma in the background of the new poster? Because I don't think Saturnyne is popular/recognizable enough to make it on to a poster like this.

She's to dressed for Emma.
But hey, there's Kamala and New Drew, where's Silk though?

Oh, sorry. Adult swim-like show. Like regular show, adventure time and the like.
(i dont watch tv)
Yeah, netflix would be the marvel "channel" of choice nowadays. It's just that..... gah, thing's so good and it aint selling gangbusters most likely because they using their standard retail approach for a product that so obviously isn't aimed solely at their standard audience. Gives me a fit. Same prob as silver surfer.
Marvel should really come up with a better plan to get around the stereotype of superhero comics being about dudes punching other dudes. They got disney, ffs, there's people there that can teach them to target other demographics. If you gon' do slice of life, advertise it properly.
Wont lie, absolutely loving the push Devil Dinosaur is getting.
Sign me up.

Tim's love for animals and animal related superheroes, right here, friends.
Well to be fair it has regular Captain America and Iron Man too. So if they don't have FalCap or iRon Man then that would make sense.

Those shows air on Cartoon Network, which is owned by Time Warner. I guess something like that could possibly air on Disney XD, though, if Disney was a bit more lenient with their television content ratings.

That still gets me. Comic inspired by the TV show inspired by the comic.
Straight up a...
... Street Fighter the Movie The Game situation.
Kamala + Simmons
Gimme a team up book that's Lockheed, Lockjaw, Devil Dinosaur, Cosmo, and hmm... Beta Ray Bill. They could make it weekly and charge $5 and I'd buy it.
I'm still waiting for DC to give me a Secret Society of Super Simians book starring Detective Chimp, Grodd, Djuba, Congorilla, Solovar, and the Ultra-Humanite.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Anything to try and get the TV viewers to buy.
i need help, recently i just got into ready comics. been reading the walking dead ones and must say i have enjoyed them more then the show. I also read Batman Earth one and loved both volumes and I realized there is no word about a third volume being released? Earth 2 is a totally different story line right?
Im just trying to figure out what other Batman comics to read, i saw the darkest night ones and those caught my eye. Any other suggestions?

Did you read that recent Guardians Team Up issue that had all the superhero animals fighting all the supervillain animals?
I did not, what issue is it? This is what happens when 99.9% of my Marvel reading is done on Unlimited.
Not at all, I just love Beta Ray Bill, so why wouldn't I want him on a team of other characters I love?

Would buy a modern Legion of Superpets miniseries.

There will be a third volume. Johns + Frank have both said that they have ideas for roughly six volumes or so plotted and would like to do more if time + circumstances permit.
As for other Batman stories...ohhh man. First off, Earth One is a series that is devoted to re imaginings of popular characters, rather than something that's part of the ongoing stories. You could reach Snyder + Capullo's Batman, Batman Long Halloween and Dark Victory by Loeb + Sale and just experiment...Batman's been through a lot. If you want to go on a crazy ride then look up Batman Grant Morrison reading order for probably the longest and most densely plotted Batman run ever.
Don't read dense as impenetrable though.

So what's some non-big 2 stuff that would be worth picking up, both ongoing and older? I'm looking at my shelves and really realizing the ratio of Marvel/DC to stuff that isn't is way too high.

Volume 2 of Earth One took three years to come out. I don't think Volume 3 has a confirmed release date yet.
Scott Snyder's Batman is a run most of us would recommend. It's been collected in six trades with the seventh coming out in September/October.
Would buy a modern Legion of Superpets miniseries.
Needs more Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, and possibly Jumpa as well.

It seems that Anka, Wada and Quinones are working on a hipster version of Guardians at pheonix comic con lol
That Gamora is legit fantastic
hmm batman long halloween sounds interesting. And im glad to hear about earth one continuing, I was actually surprised how much I enjoyed them.

I read Squirrel Girl with my 7 year old daughter and that comic makes her laugh out loud several times an issue.
Doreen would be great as the face of a young reader outreach program. I should be able to order the first trade through Scholastic.
