Dark Horse, yeah. They've had Mass Effect comics since before 2 came out. There was a Greg Rucka Dragon Age series at one point as well.
They also do the art books. I've been playing the trilogy for the first time and really want to get this now:

As fondly as most other Marvel events, I reckon.

I got that book for Christmas, it's pretty great.

Were gonna remember 2017 as the year Jordie Bellaire was so good, she got David Finch nominated for an Eisner

This reminds me (since it's been nominated), I've always wanted to try The True Amazon. Did anyone read it? How was it?
How was the Han Solo mini? I just ordered it last week off of IST out of brand loyalty, but I haven't really heard anything about it. So it kinda surprised me to see it pop up on the Eisner noms.
It was pretty good. Very unique tone for a Marvel comic. Big shame that the final cover made such a huge shitstorm. Would have loved to see Cain do more work at Marvel though I doubt that will happen for long time if at all after how the series ended. Is she even doing comics anymore? I can't find anything about what she's working on.
But not herself. Colourists continuing to take Ls.
That said it's Matt Wilsons year tbh.
Rumor is she's doing a new volume of Vision.

It is. One of my favorite artbooks. The new Andromeda one is great, too. But I have to give the edge to the original in terms of content since it covers three games.
It was pretty good. Stumbled in a lot of places though.
I'm honestly surprised Chelsea Cain got nominated for best writer on Mockingbird alone and Tom King didn't for anything.

Don't jinx it. Keep telling yourself it will be complete dog shit. I swear to God, if you ruin this for us... :3
That's what I did with Infamous Iron Man. I thought there'd be no way a book about Doom being Iron Man written by Bendis would be any good. but it was actually pretty good.
I actually trust Bendis not to fuck up with Defenders, he's been writing more good books since NOW 2.0 started and he's written most of the main cast pretty well in the past. And even if the writing is complete dogshit, the Marquez art should still look great.
She just said Vision. She let it slip earlier this year.

Already posted.
Bendis has been put on projects that fit his strengths better.

It's unfathomable to me that readers need to be told this. The reaction to this book has been total Bizarro. It's great stuff and so completely obviously against fascism.
The problem here is that non-readers are a big part of the reaction.
Really after Babylon, Vision and Omegaman? Guess I'll check out mockingbird from my library. If I like that then I'll pick the Captian Phasma book she got coming up.
Thing is A. Some haven't read and likely won't read it to understand.
B. A facist state in comics isn't a good idea when real world is closing in on it.
C. The last thing people need is to tell us that people need to come together when the nation has been more divided than ever.

That's Kelly Thompson doing the Phasma comic.
Damn but I heared she good too.

If someone doesn't like topical fiction, that's great and they have tons of alternatives to read, but to act like it's offensive and harmful that topical fiction exists is...I don't even know what to say.
I don't want every book I read dealing with the threat of fascists gaining power within the system, but I'm glad I have one right now, because that's something I have a lot of anxiety about these days, and it's a helpful outlet to confront that anxiety. That's one of the reasons stories are a thing!

They've been planning this for a while, they didn't know B would be such an issue.
I don't disagree with you, though.

How dare readers believe Marvel when they say this is going to be the foundation of the MU for several months?

Cap is not a Nazi.
This is literally a specific and vital plot point in the story.
Red Skull has that very same narrow view of Hydra, and that's exactly why his plan backfired. When he thought to turn Cap to Hydra, he was only thinking of what Hydra was to him, and that's not what happened. One faction of Hydra at one point in time was Nazi-affiliated, but Cap is part of the broader, original version of Hydra, and even as an evil villain, he still sees the Nazi Hydra, as represented by Red Skull, as an enemy, both personally and to Hydra in general. This is why those two were at odds even after Cap turned.

To be honest, that part doesn't bother me at all.
I mean, they made Cap a werewolf multiple times.
I'm mostly annoyed with Spencer for being such a baby about the response.

Search his name on Twitter. He gets people talking about wanting to punch him, kill him, and have his career ended literally every day. I think it's kinda shitty to criticize someone for "being such a baby" about having a constant stream of threats over a comic book.
Yeah but Hydras are nazis though.
You can't really walk back being a nazi. You can't, when your group has been led by nazis, worked with nazis, and did the things that nazis do, go on and say "oh but that wasn't the real Hydra". Like, Doctor Faustus founded the National Force, who were literally both nazis and the Klan. And now he's part of the One True Hydra alongside Steve, and that's fucked up.
There was a version of Hydras that weren't nazis, but once they did all the nazi things, they became nazis forever. That's how it works.

So how do you feel about Japan?

Japan and Germany proves his point x100 though. Both societies were radically transformed after WWII. That experience shapes the Japanese constitution and government today. Because being a Nazi or equivalent is really, really bad. Here Marvel spent 70 years telling people that Hydra = Nazis and then thought they could pull a shocking reveal and everyone would be okay. Clearly its not and they're scrambling to get past it.
SE was planned before Secret Wars even started.
yeah right

Spencer is a living parody of elite, affluent white liberals. Even more so if you delve into his political history.

Remender said the same thing about AXIS. Marvel always try to make events out of writers stories.
Spencer actually said that he asked for it to be an event and we all know how Marvel loves them.

I thought we were friends
It would be irresponsible to recommend a title I've never read.
I thought it was just okay. I loved the art but the story didn't quite grab me. I know Donnie really liked it though. It is definitely worth a shot.
