And his Daredevil also was one of the best.
As was his Alias. (well, more like the only, but w/e)
Sure, he's done good before, but his current output.... eh. Last ish of Ultimate Miles was a complete mess.

Real talk: put Ewing in charge of Peter Parker.

Speaking of X-Statix:
Never forget Zombine. The real "best girl."

Silver Surfer still isn't cancelled, think about that and be happy
Not only is not cancelled, it's Secret Wars tie in stuff actually sounds like it will be interesting.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Convergence Shazam is so damn good.
DC needs to put this creative team on a Shazam solo book.
That gif is amazing
I need to read shazam

So I'm rolling with Spider-Woman being the most improved book of 2015. For Marvel at least.
Haven't seen a stimulus package this good since Soule on Red Lanterns.

It's not a stimulus, Jessica just finally didn't have to be an event tie in

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.
The first Sentry trade collecting the "lost issues" is god tier. Just absolutely amazing, and one of my favorite character introductions in comics. I'm not even mad that it turned out to be viral marketing because it was so good.
BUT...don't read anything else Sentry-related. Nothing holds up even remotely as well, and the character just falls off the cliff the further along you progress. Just remember him as Marvel's super overpowered iteration of Superman, with the added dimension that he is literally his own worst enemy.
So good. Never again.

dont forget Casanova. Don't know what Fraction book gon come out next, Arcadia #3 or Hawkeye #22
I asked Hollingsworth about Hawkeye #22, since Aja finished all 30 pages like a MONTH ago, he said he hasn't Marvel's deadline yet so he aint really messed with it yet lol

Oddly enough I keep hearing how Bendis messed up characters that had really good minis featuring them, namely Sentry and The Hood.

there's like...that one Bendis/Deodato Jr issue where Norman recruited The Sentry by treating him like a human being and connecting with him by sharing his own dark impulses
but thats it tho
Thanks.

I understand him, tho. He's a very popular colorist, and he's gotta work on books that actually HAVE to come out monthly. Wytches, Chrononauts, that BKV/Skorce book, etc. Hawkeye #22 aint got no monthly deadline, he can get to he when he gets to it.

Has anyone else seen the girl in dior piece on comics alliance? I'm on my phone so I can't link it but the art in it looks phenomenal. There aren't too many fashion centered comics out there

You know, I hadn't even realized issue 3 of Casanova hadn't dropped yet. Good lord. At least ODY-C is keeping a fairly regular schedule.
I had to laugh the other day about Kelly Sue freaking out about a 50 cent price increase on the next issue of Bitch Planet so they could add 10 more pages of content. Like she doesn't write a $4 twenty three page book for Marvel or something.

I'm not talking about Bendis. He's busy outing young Iceman.
I'm talking about how Sentry was handled, period. He went from schizophrenic Superman to taking being outsmarted by the Punisher. He literally couldn't take down Frank. What?

Ain't no shame in that. Only guy with an equivalent or better tactical mind in 616 is OG Fury. And sometimes Steve.

ManGaf is kind. Spider Gwen's reign of terror/supremacy is over.
Ok, I'm on board with that. Ewing would be a great Spider-Man writer.

Convergence Shazam! is written by Jeff Parker
Which explains why you lot enjoyed it, Parker did some good comics over the years, namely
This one had GREAT art but was so criminally short lived.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL
He wrote an EXCELLENT Red Hulk series, like where Loeb created a ridiculous character, Parker fleshed him out and wrote some great stories.
I hadn't read the Red She-hulk series sadly, but those are some of his best works, get in on dat ish.
Oh yeah I recall liking that...but then it goes south cuz Bendis
Tommy Lee Jones Osborn was awesome though.

Tommy Lee Jones Osborn was awesome though.I actually really liked what Bendis did with Sentry, apart from the fact it felt like it was going somewhere and then it just... didn't. But there's some great character work with him working with Osborne and Osborne getting more and more scared that he's on a bullride he can't hold on to trying to contain the crazy.

It's almost as if the writing starts falling apart as the scope increases.
I think the scope was going somewhere too, but got derailed by a certain event.
I assume at some point the bit where he was literally supposed to be the biblical angel of death and around a thousand years before his birth was going to be relevant, somehow? Given his altercations with Molecule Man maybe he'll come back for Secret Wars...
Sums up Slott run.
Also, Bendis is a good writer, it's just he's been hitting a lot of misses lately.

I think Bendis writes street-level books the best. Daredevil, Alias, Powers, Jinx and Scarlet are all examples of this. I enjoyed his run on Uncanny, but cape books don't really seem to be his real strength.
I don't have any previous attachment either, and I like kid nova too.

I look forward to this book more than anything else lately. even the art has grown on me.
Fuck me that is beautiful.
Before that it was pretty great.
The art is the best part tho . Slott is doing a great job too. Great book.

ANYWAYS, the UK's entering its 5th year of Tory rule, yeah? I can't wait until their comics get this angry again
