I found this Land variant of Secret Wars 1. It's like a museum of every Land-ism ever.

I think I can already spot 2 porn traces.

Where are Wolverine's legs? I love how Deadpool (and Captain Marvel, etc) are just standing there nonchalantly.

It's so bad, brahs...
 
Fuck, so far so good at avoiding spoilers on tomorrow's Thor. At least, the thread's title is explicit, not like that moronic thread that spoiled ANX #40 without warning because no one actually reads and follows comics in OT.

I'm not sure about Gwen but Thor just busted an epic nut.
At this point, I can't look at Land art and not wonder if he has been tracing porn again. I mean, the doubt is always there at the back of your mind.

So many comics coming in this week and I am out of shelf space.

First delivery - Fantagraphics makes such beautiful editions. Amazon delivery stays crap.
I'm livid that these look better than the French editions. They look gorgeous.

BTW, I've kind of been planning to hold off on GotG stuff till the Annihilation Conquest Omnibus comes out, at which point I would grab that, the Annihilation Omnibus, and the two Complete Collections, since people said they all go together waaaaay back when I asked, IIRC. Is this a good plan or a mad plan?

All that stuff is supposed to be fantastic, right? Also, is there a real, non-Amazon date on the Annihilation Conquest Omnibus anywhere yet?

Tokyo Ghost won't have a bunch of variant covers, good on Remender and Murphy.

After a few conversations today with Image and Sean Murphy (Gordon if you’re nasty) we’ve decided to not artificially bump the orders on TOKYO GHOST #1 with a bunch of variants. The general consensus is that we’re doing harm to the industry with this tactic. A tactic we’ve all used on many other books and always felt a bit off about. Sean has already done a number of covers, so we’ll be offering an “A” cover and “B” cover, both by Sean, and that’s it. TOKYO GHOST #1 is a double-sized first issue and ships in September.
 
So what you're saying is that ultimate hawkeye stole a dead blind man's glasses?

Also weren't ultimate people supposed to not talk in all caps?

Those glasses were taken after Clint got his vision enhancement, I think.

It's the Ultimate universe. It's too cool for you too understand.

I like a good variant thrown in every now and then, but I hate it when there are 60000 covers to choose from. Here is one of my favorite of the past few years that I own:

Came out of nowhere, and it was the only 1st print variant since that point.
 
The only part of Ultimatum that I like is the Spider-Man arc. The rest is pretty terrible, including the X-Men and FF minis.

They really should've let Bendis or Millar write the event. I'm not saying it would've been good, but if they wanted to do it they would've made more sense.

The post-Ultimatum Spider-Man relauch is really good too. I like Johnny and Bobby joining the cast.

How would you guys rank the regular USM artists? Would it be correct to say that Bagley is the worst (least good) out of all of them?
That post ultimatum era of USM is fucking gold. Johnny, Bobby, Gwen, and Pete in the same house was an amazing idea. I love stories that have Peter with superpowered roomates.

My personal rankings for USM artists...

Immonen
Pichelli
Lafuente
Samnee
Bagley

Composition wise, its terrible. Where the fuck is the eye supposed to be going.

I remember getting a promo postcard thing signed by Remender last SDCC. This year's is in early July. Could be a hat trick if you're right, VJC.
 
You gotta love Land's commitment to taking a steaming dump on progressive female representation in comics. Just look at that Captain Marvel.
Even cheesecake artists do a better job than Land. This cover doesn't look drawn, it looks like he just photoshopped a bunch of stuff he did, put them all together, and called it a day.
