Everyone was so fixated on KamalaxMiles, they never saw it coming.

There's a Dex-Starr plushie being released through Diamond today. I'm tempted to get it as a Red Lanterns/Dex-Starr fan.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I wouldn't mind the lack of forward movement if the internal plot developed, but I don't think there's been much character development actually. We get insight into some characters via flashbacks, but we don't witness the characters develop much. As interesting as insight into these characters is, they're not doing anything with it. They give us the backstories to these characters, but don't explore them.
For those that have quit WicDiv after the second volume, i.e. issue #11, the following basically sums up the plot since then:
Morrigan gets captured. Ananke kills Tara, who wants to die anyway, then burns her suicide letter. She later tells the gods that there might be a demon.

So I was reading The Black Hood #6,, and genuinely started to get upset about the art! at least compared to what I had for the first 5 issues.. went to drop the book and noticed its just a 2 issue fill in till #9,,

Did they have to sew their faces back together or something?
eugh howard chaykin art
I've been buying it and not reading it since then. I suspect it will read a bit better as a trade, so I'll go back and catch up when it starts moving forward again properly.
I might change my mind when it nears, or maybe even during open registration. I was just looking at how much money I would spend on badges/hotel/etc and it may just be cheaper to buy the things I want in the aftermarket. I have been going to SDCC for the past five consecutive years and would like to go to the 'smaller' conventions here in California such as Wondercon (haven't been there since 2011) or even Anime Expo.
Though the things I would miss from not going to SDCC is meeting people (friends and professionals) and getting sketches/signatures.

But seriously guys, American Alien was amazing. Don't pass on it. Max loves the character.
Images don't spoiler tag on mobile.
I would deport that alien to Mexico and if he came back we'd ship him even further down, and further, until he never returned. Trump 2016.

Is that Howard Chakyin's art?
Ultimates and ANAD Avengers looking to be good. Web Warriors wasn't too shabby either.
I'm diggin' it tho.

I am having an overload,,,, So far at C2E2 (that I care for)
Mike Mignola, Grag Capullo, Francis Manapul. Chris Burnham and Venesa Del Ray so far.... Snyder has been there last 2-3 years too. EEEKKKK
Looks like I might actually get the 3 day pass

That's cool, I've never checked out John's flash so I'll definitely be picking this up.
Curious why they never reprint any of Waid's stuff.

I've only ever read a handful of series if not issues that featured his art.
I admit that appears to be his weakest work but he's surely drawn better stuff right?
I haven't done one of these in a while.
Black Science #17
Godworld, Part 1 of 5
Black Science, for me, has been the weakest of Remenders' Image titles. Average at worst but still entertaining even after 16 issues. It has had its moments but story progression has fallen a bit flat ever since the first arc ended. It's more character-focused since building a world seems unmanageable when the crew is jumping from one place to another, sometimes more than once, in just a single issue. With #17, it's getting a (mostly) fresh start.
Godworld, Part 1 of 5 kicks off a new arc. I won't spoil much but having read through it, readers who have never read Black Science can safely jump on board. There is a synopsis on the first page that gives you the basic gist of what has happened in the past few story lines. With Godworld, it looks like Remender is finally settling on one setting and I'm excited to see the things that are going to go down.
I like the brief flashback of one of the main characters which gives us more background to his upbringing. It definitely paints a better picture of what he went through prior to the things he's done in the 'present'.
More so than before, the book is filled with colorful scenes. The environments had always been a bit more on the dark and glum side, and this is a nice change of pace. Scalera's art leans heavily on bold lines and deep shadows, which can deviate from the details that I would otherwise miss on the first read through. I find myself skimming the intricacies of this new world as I flip through it on my second read.
For those who have dropped Black Science or has some interest in it, pick up #17. Things are starting to ramp up (again) and I'm looking forward to the subsequent issues that will follow it. There's also an over-sized hardcover coming out on 11/25/15 for $49.99 that collects #1-16: https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/black-science-premiere-hc-the-beginners-guide-to-entropy

It's the face. He gives them a soft-warm color to them. His female characters are calm and nice to look at.

You know what?
We need more Seaguy
I can't remember if Morrison finished the series, but I really need to dive back into it again, it had some really whack stuff
What's Seaguy about? It's a Morrison comic, going in blind would be no different than knowing what it's about. Go read that ish, Cameron Stewart's art is fantastic in it.
It's from basically everything he wrote and drew between doing American Flagg and writing Twilight. Black Kiss, Blackhawk, The Shadow, Time2, etc
They're not my favourite comics in the world but the reason guys like Bendis and Fraction want him on their books is because of that era of Chaykin
