Finished reading The Fourth Power. It is such a great looking book! The fourth chapter was actually decently plotted. Not something I was expecting after the first three chapters...
It's Remender. You could replace all his dialogue with futility in big block letters and not lose much.

What was that about? Was that the same reason why KSD left Cap Marvel with the weirdest panel?
Not sure I do.
That means any asshole could wield it as long as he believes strongly enough that he is worthy.
But...but...but...Odinson...WAT?
That's pretty close how it has always worked. Worthiness is just loosely defined.
Odinson did not believe himself to be worthy.
Hmmm what is Stjepan up to, I wonder. First the Harley preview a few days ago that he described as work even though he was at a con. Now this lovely image.
DC please. Let him do the Harleen mini. I'll love you forever and ever. It's all I want from you. If nothing else just collect the DeviantArt strips into an issue or OGN.

I'm pretty sure he's just trying to supply you with a healthy number of future avatars so you never go back to Halloween Olivia.
Halloween Olivia is a staple.
Although the October image from the Sunstone calendar will give me serious pause.
That's a sweet Harley drawing.

Caught up with Wonder Woman and it's pretty awesome.
Love how both stories come together

Not even gonna lie, I'm kind of salty that (current issue spoilers)
Shawn isn't actually pregnant. It undermines the urgency of the arc.

Worst - Grayson (ugh...that run)
Runner up - Tomasi

Grayson was the only Dick story I've enjoyed. Different strokes I suppose.

I read X-23 1-6 from the complete collection. I really enjoyed it. Fuck what those dudes did to Laura

I'm talking about Devin Grayson's run on Nightwing. Not the Grayson series. Her run was really really badGrayson was the only Dick story I've enjoyed. Different strokes I suppose.

Did you read Snyder's The Black Mirror or Morrison's Batman & Robin?

I stopped reading JLA and JL ages ago are they still mediocre?
JLA's great. Don't know about JL.
Black Mirror was alright. Not a fan of Jock at all though. Francavilla's art though... My goodness.
Not a fan of anything Morrison has written and I now just stay away. Not for me.

Oh also... Low is weird. I like it (love the art) but also don't like it. I'm on the fence with it. Granted I haven't finished the first volume yet so maybe I'll be able to choose which side to land on once I'm done.
That's just his style, it's kind of love it or hate it. But it doesn't change going forward. You will just get more used to it and how to read it and take it in.
My bad I thought you meant the art. That's usually the divisive part. The story is harsh uncomfortable reading a times. They live in a shit world.
That's a shame, I've greatly enjoyed just about everything he's written. hopefully his problems are resolved quickly and peacefully.
This reminds me that I need to pick up the rest of 4 Kids walk into a bank soon.
Speaking of Dixon, has anybody read Bane Conquest #1 yet? I hope Dixon still has the skills.
Man. Can't wait for the Grayson omni. Amazing stuff.
Dixon's Nightwing is the greatest, though.

We should use this gif all the time we talk about Medusa
Strip Naked Panel is the GOAT
This feels like fate.
I've been trying to mull over the perfect books to buy with my gift card balance on Amazon ($24.35) for weeks. I eventually just now settled on Vision Vol 1 and 2, since I'm tired of waiting for an OHC. I get to the checkout, and the total after tax for the books is THE EXACT AMOUNT I HAD LEFT ON THE GIFT CARD. I had to look at it like four times thinking, "is this right?" Bizarre.

Right? It's definitely up there for the best thing he's done since he signed that Image contract. Need to finish up reading Velvet to fully judge that, but I liked The Fade Out more than Fatale & Killed or be killed is alright so far but not really blowing me away.
Well there's only one course of action then. Do it! Great two book series. I'd like to think Marvel will give you that OHC eventually but it's not on the cards for this year anyway
maybe something they're judging with those director's cut issues.LordOfLore

Interesting. Didn't he just say publicly that he wanted to write ASB indefinitely as long as DC let him and fans wanted it? I wonder if the editorial changes changed that or if it's just workload related.

Nah, his plot will continue in Metal, according to that interview. Tim will be thrilled.
What have you got coming in that quarter?
I've got the Fourth World omnibus and JLI ommibus earmarked. I suppose that in itself is a decent chunk of change. Probably forgetting a few things too

It doesn't, though. Shawn was still in danger and he loves her, plus the enemy in question knows him intimately, which is always deadly. The life of the woman he loves, and his own identity, are both at stake. What the pregnancy brings into question is whether or not Dick wants to continue being Nightwing. If he wants to continue that life, something we saw at the beginning of the Blüdhaven arc. Then Damien is captured and put on the chopping block. The urgency is never lost at any point, even retroactively due to the pregnancy being a false positive.
Let's not and then say we didn't.

It's pretty good. Just Bane and friends being scummy assholes.

Remember when Snyder said that last backup story was leading to a name reveal? Backup had no resolution and no name. I like Snyder's writing enough, but I'm kind of tired of hearing him say anything about his own writing.
I disagree entirely.
I feel more the Shawn aspect was only put in so it would be the adverse to his thoughts with Damien. He had more of the emotional and questioning aspect from Damien and the pregnancy was just put in there so he could look at the difference from then and now. You get one whole issue of this love and then she gets kidnapped after a pregnancy scare and 4 issues later she isn't pregnant and she says get to stepping. She feels more like a plot device at that point.

Multiverity is on a constant upward trend for me. #1 felt a bit contextless. (Turns out I had to read everything DC from 1975). Society of Superheroes was fun and had a Tom Strong like feel to it. (Then I noticed who did the artwork...). The Just was an interesting take on the next generation and Pax Americana was great. (That opening sequence!!).
Hmm. Might as well make a full list to keep track. Second half of 2016 -
