Alien and Aliens are two entirely different movies in terms of genre and concept, why even compare them. Why not just love them both for what they are! Also go read the comics!!!!

I mean, I could go back and add "at least in my opinion" to every sentence but don't honestly tell me I have to. I'm not keeping you from watching or loving it. I just personally think it's a step down so far that the Time Bandits are being held captive over the drop between them.
Do it, but only so you can watch the Making Of documentary after.

Oh Alien3 the bastard no-one loved
And then you can watch Alien Resurrection and understand my loathing of Joss Whedon.It is fascinating on how the movie was conceptualized from the start and it ends up with an entirely different movie afterwards.
Didn't he blame someone else for Resurrection?Oh Alien3 the bastard no-one loved

He probably blamed everyone possible, but end of the day he wrote that horrible monstrosity! If he was so ashamed of it, I'd have thought he'd pull his name from it.
Well I can tell you're not British!

I stand by my detailed defense of it. Seems like everyone else can't handle the heat, not me.
hey real genuine advice?
if you wanna get why Material stopped at #4, read The Surface
it makes Ales Kot's whole thing super clear

Can we go back to hating on things that actually deserve the hate, like Star Wars/Trek?
Anyway.
Unknown Soldier by Garth Ennis
HEY, remember when i said that if DC cared about the character, they would hire ennis to write a long series on him? Well, this miniseries explains quite well why they dont. Because what he did is write 110 pages shitting on any and all forms of american military exceptionalism.
And then finished it by calling the soldier a cowardly cunt.
Book's whatever. 90's ennis is just too edgy for me nowadays.

Dark days.
I'm pretty glad Whedon isn't directing more Avengers movies.
I liked Avengers 1 and 2 (to a lesser extent)
But 1 doesn't hold up after several rewatches (due to it's basic plot) and 2 has a clash in tone between dialogue and the color hue most scenes have.
I like him more than the previous guy but neither really make me wanna get up in the morning
I think that's the only one of his Image books I didn't get around to picking up but I'll keep that in mind

She went from interesting but not written very well, to everything I dislike in a character
I love you so much. So, so much. I'm so upset they have just disappeared. Especially during the recent nuhuman stuff
i also read the new Pretty Deadlys (in 2016) one after another and that's still a pretty ok comic that i don't think i've heard anyone talk about? the framing sequence is still totally bunk and there's a sequence where it's like 3 different kinds of narration cutting back and forth between each other on top of Rios doing her thing that's totally nonsensical but y'know, totally fine excuse for Rios doing her thing on the whole

DC's gag that HQ just had to fuck all those Joker cosplayers lets you know a lot about DC
but his reasoning for leaving the book cracked me up. He had to stop because he didn't think drawing comics was as hard as people told him it was going to be so he planned his schedule very poorly.

Matt Taylor is a really good poster artist. His Lost in Translation print is pretty freaking great

I managed to put off buying any Valiant, but I did see that I already had Archer and Armstrong #1 through Comixology.
It was pretty good. Good art good start to the story. It seemed like it carried over the Hulk/Amadeus relationship in a way. Does it stay good?

Does it though, cause thats by the same team that makes the oh so popular Hijinks book.
Harley is in need of a new creative team or fresh blood at this point.

Awwwww, that's adorable. Where is that from?
Bombshells.
Yup, it's pretty consistently great.

I remember reading the free issue on CMX last year too. It improves from #1, actually. Give it a shot. Quick read, self-contained in #24 issues for the run. Great fun. Van Lente has very good comedic timing. And the humour is actually situation and character based more than random slapstick stuff.
I think all of Valiant is on scribd. You can try the 15 day trial and that should give you enough time to read all of A&A.

Yep, stays good the whole way.
Is shingi's pic from that Bombshells series? Harley looks like her statue.
Between this and the Deadpool movie there's a super interesting conversation to be had about how sexual we want our corporate comic book super heroes to be, and it's a super interesting question to explore in things that are not the ongoing series "SEX" from Image.
But, this? With this character? In this context? With those implications?
It's beyond fucking gross, and holy moly how did anyone give it a pass when people yelled at the Suicide Squad trailer for having the same imagery as the new 52 book of the same name.

Cool.
Gonna look into Scribd. That'd save me a ton of money, and I could try the other things.
I know that people hate Venditti, does that carry over to X-O Manowar, or is it more based on his DC work?
TetraxShards

Way more based on his DC stuff. X-O's good almost the whole way. Unity/To Kill a King and Armour Hunters are big comic events done right.

DC work. His X-Bro is quite enjoyable. Stupid to a fault, as he should be.
Not as stupid as the eternal warrior, obv. Ain't no one touching gilad.
