Yeah. They said they'd explore Clint and Barney's relationship, but what we got so far amounts to "no shit, Sherlock" without any point to it. Who in this thread said Lemire just writes shit going through the motions? Because that's exactly what that is (though I don't think I've read much else of his).
This post makes me sound like I'm super pissed off but I'm not, lol
it's a biker gang exploitation movie except everyone is a monkey (and the monkeys fuck a LOT)

Pretty sure that was Rafa who said that, and unfortunately this book isn't disproving it, but Lemire has done some really solid work outside of this abomination. I mean, Descender is really fucking fun.
SOLD.

Personally, whatever momentum Fraction/Aja/Wu Hawkeye had died when delays hit. Like they left a car running and the battery died. So it's felt like this new creative team had to "restart the battery", and instead blew up the engine.
Holy shit, that makes no sense.

The only part of your post I agree with, man.

Yeah, I figured. Though when I said personally, I meant that's how it felt to me - not that it was universal.

I gotcha--but seriously, when the omnibus drops, read that start-to-finish, and see how you feel about it. The wait never bothered me because I just want the original creative team to put out the story they want over forced Big-Two deadlines, and because each super delayed issue was just fucking phenomenal.

Trying to finish the Batgirl of Burnside trade. The algorithm Babs developed is essentially Hydra's in the Winter Soldier. It's a pretty fun book.

Yup. I'm gonna try that, then rejudge it.
Absolutely agree. Dropping it until
Bruce is back in the suit

It's definitely a step down, but I don't know I'd call it outright boring. Mr. Bloom is fantastic, best new villain in ages. And some of the stuff with Bruce is great.
Actually, now that I stop and think about it, I'm having trouble pinning down what exactly my problem is with this one. Maybe it's just too slow moving or something. I know something is wrong...
It's Gordon.

Time to be honest.
ANAD Avengers #1 didn't really do anything for me. I would even go so far as to say I didn't like it. They had an opportunity to take all of these characters and bring them together, but they did not. If things are going to happen at a snails pace in this book, maybe I should trade-wait.
Ultimates #1 was a solid 3.5/5. Intro was a bit boring with the metaphysical nonsense, but this book definitely seems like it's headed places. <3 Rocafort
Secret Wars #7 was kind of dull, but I loved the last five or so pages.
Wicked + Divine #16 seems like the series is starting to get back on track, and I enjoyed seeing some more backstory on the Morrigan.
Walking Dead #148 was easily book of the week for me.

My two issues are Gordon (this isn't the Gordon I know D=), and that the story seems... kind of preachy to me. I dunno.
Yeah. Can't really buy into it.

Nah, I like Gordon, too. The kind of wry, exasperated "you all can't possibly be serious with this" attitude he brings is a nice note of humor.
Still, I guess he does come off as a little flat at times.
Freeza get my list.
You can't sit there and tell me you didn't enjoy the Nova and Ms Marvel section. It's classic freeza.
I figured it'd be like that, so I didn't even bother. NA and Uncanny #1 were OK, but very fleeting in terms of impact. I sort of had an epiphany after reading those that had already been bubbling under the surface: "It's not going to be as good as the Hickman stuff."
And it's not. It's not even as good as Bendis, I think. I don't owe it to Marvel to settle for less than what came before, so yeah, I'm good.

It was better than the first half, certainly. But by that point I was so soured on the rest of it that it really didn't help my mood.
When does Ms. Marvel #1 drop?
This week I believe
That's sad to hear, as I adore N52 Batman. I'll still buy it (in trade/HC form of course), but that is disappointing.

AoS one was just full of shitting on it but also praising it but also hating it. It's weird. I'm just gonna stay out of OTs for the most part. Save for Once Upon a Time and Supernatural. Those are the two best OTs. The Flash was good last season, so I might dive into it this time. Arrow, Gotham, and AoS I will avoid.
Then why bother with it?
What a strange picjk. I would have thought Terra or Cecil would've been better picks. Or better yet, Geno. He's been so highly requested, and if I recall correctly, the reason he hadn't showed up in a game was due to weird rights issues between Ninty and SE. He looks fun, though, so I am excited/
It makes sense in the long run as its essentially a free advertisement for the upcoming FFVII remake. Same goes for Ryu for SFV.

Ryu has a history with Ninty though. Every character in the game does. Cloud does not
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
To try and gain an interest.
I'd have interests in nothing if I give nothing a chance.
