There's always one, isn't there? Funny how that works.

I'd say about half the Convergence tie in issues I've read have been thoroughly enjoyable. Even things I didn't know what to expect like Adventures of Superman which turned out to be mostly a Pre Crisis Supergirl coming to grips with the realization that if she goes back to "her world" she'd die to the Anti Monitor, but finds the strength to rise up despite that.
The Question needs to go on after this.

I need to pick those up and the Matrix ones.
Kinda like Hobgoblin was the best tie-in for SIXIS.
Bravo Greg Rucka. The Question #2 made me tear up. God damn comics sometimes. Rucka is just fantastic at nailing emotional moments . Great two parter that just makes me want more. It will be a crime if Rucka doesn't get to keep going with this. Question, Batwoman and Huntress are such a cool team.
I want to read more Renee Question. Is there more other than the backups in Ruckas Batwoman?

Curious, what'd you think of he art? The artist is a favorite of mine, haven't really seen it discussed much.

There was a series some years back called The Five Books of Blood.
I really like it. I also loved his art during the Batwoman backups. I can see it bring a love hate kind of style though. To me it fits the book.
What about Pipeline? It's by Rucka and Cully Hamner who did the art in the Convergence books.
Edit : it seems this book is that same story
I don't want to read it because once I read it there is no more Anna Maria left*
. Please don't make her go away Marvel. *I am assuming the slate being wiped with Secret Wars means Anna is not going to survive.

That is on sale on CMX! $5 for all 5 issues
Ends on Monday.
There's also a trade of the detective comics backup called pipeline
For all the Loeb doom and gloom on Nova, he's only on for the first 5 issues, and Duggan starts on issue 10.
Maybe it's because I have no attachment to Richard because I didn't read the cosmic chart stuff but I thought those 5 issues of Kid Nova were fine, completely innofensive

another reason anime was a mistake, it popularized the problematic fetishistic term "best girl"

Well I mean, how could you organize your harem If you can't have a best one to judge the others by?

She will survive but never mentioned. Then dusted off and thrown in to die as shock value for a Spider-Man event that no one will remember after a year.I don't want to read it because once I read it there is no more Anna Maria left*

(Spider verse treatment of May Parker still upsets me)

I lurk more than post, but don't white dudes on this board refer to female fronted books as "girly hijinks," in the same way they might refer to body pillows as "real girlfriends?" #problematic

Curious on which convergence title sold the most and if that will have a direct effect on what series will be spun out.
Not all female books are girly hijinks, I wouldn't call Question girly hijinks. Something like Harley is though. It's meant in an endearing way for wacky books. He'll it doesn't even have to be a female led book. Howard the duck is girly hijinks. Or is that Quail Hijinks?
For the record, body pillows ain't my thing.
Exactly my point

No. I don't really see something like Black Widow called girly hijinks. That term is usually reserved for more silly books like Harley Quinn or Squirrel Girl.
You'd be OK with it if there were some example of Frank Miller girly hijinks.

That Starfire preview was rad. Who was the chick with the white hair? She doesn't look familiar.

I'm trying to read Edge of Spiderverse trade....I thought it was all Spider Gwen whoops. I was going to catch up on Spiderman soon but that will piss me off.

That's Essence. She is a character in Outlaws that is a part of the All-Caste ninja clan that trained Jason.

I think I remember seeing her in Red Hood & The Outlaws at some point. Something to do with that ancient mystics plot they had going.
EDIT: Beaten, badly. Lol.

Ah, alright. I haven't read Outlaws in forever and a day. Thanks.

I think it's more telling that there were enough of us to be able to answer it that quickly.
I remember liking her more or less. But RHATO is one of Lobdell's least incoherent works, so that probably helped.

I was kinda expecting a response along the lines of a Mr. Plinkett-style "Oh..."

I actually remember kinda liking what I read of it. Need to pick up the rest at some point.
Regarding new comics, I read that Starfire preview and found it utterly charming, even thought the bits with Supes got a tad awkward at times. Will definitely be picking up the book.
If anyone needs me I'll be over in the corner with my Animal Man omnibus
Never been a fan of that phrase.

Lobdell was doing some weird things with Jason within that first story arc. I was into it. I like Jason just being seperate from the bat fam and doing his own thing.
Holy shit...
I loved everything about this. Amazing art, loved the "is he crazy? Is he a drunk?" teasing throughout the issue (until he takes off flying), loved the writing, and the whole thing just felt...big. Special.
Did anyone experience this back in the day, was it a big deal back then? I mean, no matter what came out of it eventually (unfortunately nothing good), but this first issue (or first volume from what I hear) feels like something we that would be huge if released today for example.
Fuck, I really liked that first issue lol
Edit: just noticed it's a Marvel Knights joint, that label was really firing on all cylinders back then huh?

It's pretty clear Ms. Marvel is the "best girl" since all other solo female books are getting cancelled. They never had a chance.

Maybe, but Silk is secret best girl.
