I don't think this one made it to being an actual cover, but it's probably my favourite anyway:

Just to throw it in the trash. Just like everything else he buys.

I've never seen that one. Beautiful.
Honestly though, he wasn't doing anything wrong with those Wonder Woman covers. It was purely Rucka getting butthurt about unrelated shit that got him kicked off the book.

Avengers #7
Hear me out Noto. I like you. I've ALWAYS liked you, but, and I really need you to pay attention, you aren't Del Mundo. So if we could just fix that.
So this is the first issue of this book I legitimately enjoyed all aspects of through and through. Waid has really stepped up his ga--wait what's that? It was co-written by Waid? Who else? Whitely? Whitely and Waid? Oh. Well that explains it.
From this day forth, I decree that this book shall be co-written by Waid and Whitely.
Old Man Logan #23
And now this arc really advances. I'm confused here, though:
Damn this book is fire.
Ms. Marvel #18
A very enjoyable issue, especially since we really haven't seen Bruno in a long time. A nice break from Kamala's side of things.
This book is so good

Maureen calls him Jim. He went by Logan though. So why call him Jim? Lemire fucked up or what? Did I misremember something? Or is this intentional?

Anyone still reading Wonder Woman? I dropped it 5 or so issues ago and am wondering if it's worth catching up on.
Ms. Marvel is one of those books I keep dropping to save a few $ and then catch up on when there are a few issues out. Really one of Marvel's best books.

It's still my favourite DC ongoing so I'd say so. Depressed Rucka is leaving though.

Aw, who is taking over? Can we expect the book to dive in the shitter?

I've stuck with it, but I've kind of struggled. The only real reason I have struggled is because with it now trying to come to an end, they seem to be getting a lot more wordy and usually that's not an issue but with it going back and forth in the timeline it sometimes gets confusing on what one I'm reading.
Not saying I haven't liked it, when I get around to it I like what I read, but it's been hard to get into each time it comes around.
I think I would have dropped it if it wasn't close to coming to an end.

Shea Fontana's taking over writing duties. I haven't read anything of hers so I can't really say. I'll give it a shot though.

For an arc and then we're getting a new one.

God dammit. I gotta stop checking Sideshow's site for new things.
I like all his Harley variants very much. I love it as someone who collects Harley variants.

Zambone strikes again.
Why are Marvel so stupid?
Of course fans are going to want the original costume.
Its a goddamn classic.
Granted I don't even know how Ben Reilly is back.
I thought he was permanent dust at the end of the clone saga.
But hey ho, its comics.

Hahaha. You guys are the worst. Funny, but the worst. You know your cred with the students is going to dive when they see you reading Valiant Zomb, I hope it was worth it.
I couldn't help but read some of King's comments in that interview about making sense of the world today as a bit of a critique or jab on Secret Empire.

Heh, I do admire much of these statues, but I would not get into this area of the hobby lol (and larger scale). Darkseid looks badass there through.
The thing about the classic costume is that it's super 90s and looks weird next to heroes in modern costumes. That obviously doesn't seem to matter to fans though. The problem is that the redesign was meh, because if it was better people might have had a more positive reaction.

I didn't really have any sort of problem with the costume, I thought people were just dunking on the stupid-ass smile.
I already taught them If they can't work for Marvel or DC, they should settle for Valiant.

I'm afraid of the price on that one because of the Prime1 logo. And the Sideshow Premium Format of Darkseid was $600.
Do you think we will get Suicide Squad Harley in Injustice. She is in the mobile game...
People were trashing the entire costume, with the smile getting the most of it. The new costume was basically Bagley's attempt at modernizing the classic one.

Costume DLC probably. I think they're going to milk the fuck out of DLC skins.

This is from a year or two ago, but they actually pay artists more on a per page basis than DC or Marvel lol
Rest of the article
Not gear but skins you think? Hopefully. I like gear but want full comic costumes again

It's not surprising when they're putting out way less books.

Isn't Prime1 usually up around XM studios' statues price range?

I'm not sure I'm seeing the connection? Regardless of publisher, one artist works on one book at a time

Marvel's putting out way more books, so of course they're going to spread the creator money thinner to protect their bottom line.
LaunchpadMcQ

But Marvel also sells way more copies of those books, so their revenue is higher
No because so many of their books are awful. Or stagnating.
They need new (better) creators.
Ideally we would see some new people brought it, but for a lot of people the issues with Marvel are related to events, the universe being unrecognizable, and the overall direction of the line. If they can strengthen the core stuff people will be more willing to check out the other stuff.

I feel like they would need at least some other talent. I dunno though. I feel like Marvel wouldn't have the patients to let it go that long no matter what.

Doesn't make them less greedy.
Mans ain't cut out for Big Two work. Second high profile book he walked off of early.
We don't know if he walked off. Could easily be a delay in production ect. Marvel shifts art around all the time.
He said on his Facebook he walked off and is going to focus on more creator owned work. Also said he was offered X-Men Gold and showed some designs.
Fucking hell, You could have avoided all of this had you just said no.
First off or Teen titans then Royals? This guy got so problems.
Edit: I wonder if baby Darksied is going to get mentioned in Mister Miracle.
