- Thread starter Spike Spiegel
- Start date
Can't wait for this. All of Lemire's GA run. Amazon says it's coming in January, but I don't know if that's the real date or not. Still, very excited.
It was solicited a while back. Hype

I love that GIF, too.
I have the game, too. I've only played the first thirty minutes or so, but I definitely intend to return to it. Undertale and Transformers demand my attention, though.

Yo, what the fuck is up with this Scarlet Witch art? It looks like someone is trying to be Alex Maleev and failing.
I forget, is that far enough to have hit the "master planner" or whatever it was arc
where it ended up being Doc Ock IIRC

"Bendis speak" isn't a Bendis thing. It's his David Mamet influence coming through.
If you aren't familiar with Mamet, this parody is a great exaggeration of his style:

That's pretty insufferable, to be honest.

I am! This is a #1 that my girl enjoyed even more than I did. We're definitely on board.

It's making fun of him. It's supposed to be.
Everyone should read Clean Room #1. Didn't see much talk of it here, but I think it'd play well with the folks that were into Vision and Monstress. I can't wait for #2.
Ohhh, gotcha.

Just so yall know, I bought some comics from Foofaraw and they came in perfect condition. They were wrapped like a baby still in the womb. A++ would buy again
I enjoy this particular style of dialogue a lot. The approach works for me. Love Bendis <3

Looks interesting. I wish the darkseid war spinoffs weren't one shots, I think there's a lot of interesting concepts they can explore further over a few issues.
I thought John's JSA had a bunch of cool moments with Billy. Monster Society of Evil is pretty good, First Thunder is nice but short, Power of Hope by Dini/Ross is really really good but it's a non traditional super hero story. New 52 Shazam Vol 1 is great too. Other than that he's just been a major player in the DCU that pops up in events and JL once in awhile before Flashpoint.
Oh power of shazam for me was mostly mediocre. There were a few stand out issues but it didn't really take the character any place new, mostly retreading old stories. The Mr. Mind stuff is good. It's not really collected. I'd say check out the stand alone.
the episodic breaks feel really natural in that series. Keep going, it's a fantastic game.

I LOVED Clean Room #1. More than Vision or Monstress, even. Out of the 3, it's the only one going on my pull list. Intriguing. Great art. All the love.

A couple of issues into Strange Girl and I'm enjoying Remender's more lighthearted side. I wish he'd do more books like this.

Strange Girl is actually from a ways back. It's about a decade old at this point.
I think that second page looks great

Wanted to say, nice to see you around again.
Thanks, Bud! It's good to be back.
Absolutely adore Storms new costume in Extraordinary X-Men. It's just lovely, I also love how Ramos draws her. Might be the first mowhawk storm that I like.
Magiks costume is cool too. Love that they continued her story from the end of Uncanny just minus Kitty for obvious reasons.

The teaser for the next issue. Omg.
Jean in costume 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Who here is buying Switch monthly? Anyone? *silence* Not a single person?/QUOTE]
Still debating issue 2. Liked Issue 1. Sejic is cool.
I thought of West Wing when I read it. Mamet has his own tvtropes page for this, and Bendis is the only comic author on the list. Still not a fan of the style, especially in comics.
Murlock Storm is so good, and from a time when I loved Storm as a character.
I was looking through the Amazon listings for the Justice League N52 volumes (I have vol 1, planning on getting the rest soon), and I just noticed Jim Lee was only doing the art in the first two volumes, at which point they switched to Ivan Reis. That makes me kind of sad, as Lee is one of my favorites. I'm not really too familiar with Reis. Do you guys feel like that switch made the series any worse, or does Reis do an equally good job?
Reis is a stronger artist than Lee, especially the flabby ass "no really guys I can totally hold a monthly schedule" Lee on Justice League
He works in the tradition of Lee anyways so it's an easy transition

Reis is pretty great. It is the pinnacle of DC house style, to me. Everything looks like a superhero comic should. Since you are asking about Reis, read Johns run of Aquaman with him. It is very good, I'd say a lot better than the Nu52 Justice League.
Also, if you want your books in good condition, check out instocktrades.com. They frequently have DC and marvel trades 45% off, and they pack the books reasonably, and don't just throw it in a large box, and then down a flight of stairs.
