Okay, I THOUGHT so, yeah. That made the most sense to me.
Ah okay I wasn't sure if there was an existing Charlton character that fit that I was missing or something
Wow, Hellblazer is actually quite good.
Some time ago I had read the first two volumes of Hellblazer, and I didn't like it at all. I thought it was a very confusing reading. I couldn't undstand what the hell was going on half the time. But then I read the Alan Moore's run on the Swamp Thing and decided to give Hellblazer another try, and that made a HUGE difference.
There was just too many references to the Invunche, or to his friends that have died, or to that event in hell during the crisis, and so on.
Right now I just finished rereading volume 1 again and this time I can see why people like this series. I'll keep reading the next volumes.

No, I thought
The Sarge/Robot Hands killed Nora. BY THE WAY, I didn't realize until reread that Pages 12 and 13 spanned THREE DIFFERENT TIMELINES. I thought Nora was talking to Question and had somehow been resurrected.

That could work, too. The main thing is Peacemaker left her alone and betrayed her, leaving her to be killed after she figured out the Algorithm
Man, I need full blown inspection over this stuff lol

In the panel where he's holding the two head statue, right about the heads you can see a bit of the suit he's wearing. When Not Comedian comes to kill the Scientists, he wearing that suit as well. Its probably the same guy, you're right.

Two weeks of comics cost me nearly 130
The same week as I bought Assassin's Creed, Alien, Halo, GTA, Lego Batman, Far Cry and Dragon Age.
Can't even afford the Saga HC
Damn son. I thought I was spending a lot between Smash, Persona, and my funny books. I'm like, Kipp-tier compared to you right now.
And you guys have me super excited for Pax Americana. Gonna grab lunch soon and then buy it.

Holy Fuck at Inhuman 8.
How is that book doing? That Holy fuck could mean anything knowing you lol

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
New Avengers now in on the "Tony Stark is a bad man" nonsense. I could barely follow both it and Avengers this week. Hickman is just spinning out of control and I'm dizzy and wanted resolution months back and he's creating even more new characters so he doesnt have to write old Avengers. Can we skip to Quarter Past Time Runs Out already?

I am immune to Morrison's Multiversity fan-fiction radiation it seems.

pax is fan fiction of watchmen like the new testament is fan fiction of the bible
What's it look like? For 300 it'd want to be pretty cool.

I didn't hate it. If anyones earned a sort of wacky time-out fan-fiction experiment extravaganza its Morrison, and if only to let him jet out some of the weird so it doesn't seep out of whatever he does next.
My reaction to it was: kinda neat, I get it. Then reading New Avengers and normal Avengers did make it very apparent Hickman continues to chase Morrison's temporal ghost and I was like: can I just have fucking chronologically told, good character development comics back please.
What if fan fiction... is Fiction?
I'm a fan
This week's a busy one for me:
Amazing Spider-Man #10
Avengers #38
Avengers and X-Men: Axis #6
Avengers World #15
Axis: Carnage #2
Axis Revolutions #2
Batman Eternal #33
Black Widow #12
Daredevil #10
Deadpool #37
Death of Wolverine: The Weapon X Program #2
Fantastic Four #13
Guardians of the Galaxy #31, because I hate myself
Inhuman #8
Justice League #36
Loki: Agent of Asgard #8
Magneto #12
Moon Knight #9
New 52: Future's End #29
New Avengers #26
Punisher #12
Spider-Woman #1
Only thing I've read so far is Spider-Woman, which was somehow even worse than I expected from Hopeless-Land, and I didn't realize I could drop below that bar.

Didn't know two dudes could majorly disrupt 75+ years of comic book story telling for you. God forbid anyone do anything different with the genre.
Of Fiction?
I write fan fiction about how much a fan of Fiction's fanfiction I am, as a fan of Fiction.

ha that actually is totally fair
I think this is my biggest problem with Multiversity. I tried the first couple, I think?, issues and had no idea what was happening most of the time. It felt like I was missing huge chunks of the story, and didn't have the proper background reading to really know what was happening. I'll just wait until it's finished and give the completed thing a shot, but I just couldn't breach it right now.
Its an episodic comic compilation.

Yeah, it's designed like that. It might not be to everyone's taste, but he's not missing anything that's actually supposed to be there.
Yeah, there's maybe an ongoing thread but the main thing is the one-shot story that got told in each issue with different setting.
And Pax Americana is the fourth of them, right? Maybe it's just that Morrison's writing style isn't for me, but I'll give it another go.

Dammit. I'm afraid to read Pax first. Sounds like it will make every other comic I bought obsolete.
Edit - holy fuck, only on the first few pages.

I've NEVER seen anything like that in comics.
