Okay guys, you're confusing me. Are we saying the Valiant thing is just a meme? I don't know what's real anymore.

Dark Reign: The List?Pictured: Clint getting ethered.

that's a meme?
next thing you're gonna tell me is sillymonkey's donald trump gimmick is a meme too
New Avengers #55. IIRC the list hadn't started yet.
The List is an great book. Have to get it at some point, before I need a new shelf, my place for OHCs is filled up.
New Avengers is to poorly collected.
I don't joke about the future of America or the WWE.
The list is basically when he goes out to carry out the hit I think. But I mean, ultimately the conflict between Clint's willingness to assassinate a bad guy versus Spider-Man's refusal to has always been interesting.
Yeah what Zombine said.
I'm actually surprised Clint gave Peter as much lip as he did in New Avengers considering that he saved his (then) wife's life.
edit: And despite complaints people might have of him, Bendis did a decent job of writing all of the heroes in his Dark Reign New Avengers run. Carol's presence actually makes sense in it.

Clint tried to kill Norman in that book, but overall it was more a couple of connected One Shots where Norman plotted how to kill/ a couple of heroes out of the way.
Great books IMO
Yeah, iirc the last one was Norman adding Peter to list after he pulled the "I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA" card.

The period in between Civil War and Secret Invasion was bad (Iron Man and his team of strong boring dudes vs. Luke Cage and his badass crew of black wearing ninjas) and the Heroic Age stuff was gack. Well, the End Times arcs were okay, he set right a few wrongs
and killed off Victoria Hand, which I'm still not sure how to feel about
Greatest moment of the whole stuff
I never liked most of the Civil War, Secret Invasion, or interregnum stuff in the first place irrespective of Bendis.
I don't think Miguel does it nearly as much in the current Spider-Man 2099 book.
I always assumed Frost was there to:
- Make sure the x-men don't get put into the crosshairs more than necessary
- intelligence
This was such a good run.
Reading several issues of Black Science in a row has made me think that any decent comic series is a replacement for TV shows letting me down. I gave up on Supergirl after nine episodes, ended up deleting DC Legends of Tomorrow before starting it, didn't bother with the second season of Fear the Walking Dead, and the two shows i've stuck with ( Walking Dead and Last Man on Earth) are rather iffy.

Soon you'll be like me, and give up on television almost entirely.

After POI wraps this season up, TV is over anyway.
Anyone read Phil Foglio's Plastic Man mini-series? I need a few issues to add up to a minimum order, so considering this.

"Crazy Ex Girlfriend" just sounds like a show i would actively avoid and would have to fight my better instincts to watch like if someone recommended Two Broke Girls.
I only made it through three episodes of the Adventures of Kimmy Schmidt, i had hoped to like that one. It's also called Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt after googling to double check.

You're very wrong. They actually mock the title in the theme song.

Better than me, bro. I got through one episode of Kimmy Schmidt, and it was a near thing.

So good.
Ive been listening to this song over and over.
Sillymonkey, just watch this and tell me you don't wanna watch the TV show
The title was a real turn off for me when I first heard about it but about 10 min into the ep I watched turned me all the way around on it.
For reference, I watched all of 1 ep of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 2. You kind of have to attempt to like that show. And Im a big Tina Fey fan. 2 broke girls is bad.
edit: Crazy Ex Girlfriend is the Kot Secret Avengers of regular broadcast comedy shows imo

This hurts me deeply. There are rough patches towards the end of season one, but I think this is one of the funniest shows currently running.

I can confirm Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a good show.
I can also confirm that Zombine himself is a meme.

Then you have a strange sense of humor. I much preferred that new Judd Apatow show, Love.

Where The 100 and Orphan Black at?
It's hot, but I'm reluctant to jump in for $50.
The 100 is on my to-do list. Could never get into Orphan Black, but I'll keep trying.

You probably haven't even gotten to the worst part of Black Science yet either.

I've played a few hours. Not sure if I'll keep my preorder. The game is fun for sure, but it is a little light on content.

Yeah, started playing yesterday. Love it. Getting good with Pharah and Widowmaker.

We just have different ones, cause I hated Love. It so desperately wanted to be as good as You're the Worst but only come close when Birdie was on screen.

You. You, sir. You definitely know what is fucking up.
Especially The Americans.
I've had several hours clocked since Monday.

He said several issues. I think it is safe to assume he's past issue 3.
Show is SO GOOD. Haven't watched this week's yet though.
I watched the video with 70% of an open mind and it didn't make me want to watch the show. I don't watch a lot of comedies. Last one i liked was Arrested Development i think. Maybe some of Bojack Horsemen before drifting away midseason as i did with Last Man on Earth this season which was always more cringey than funny.
I remember trying The Americans with season 3 or something and then getting mad at the show for me not knowing it takes place in the past. Heyyyyyyyyyyyy wait a minute, what's going on here!
Of course you are lol

These last few episodes have not been great on my heart.
