Is the Bendis run of New Avengers that is on sale at Comixology the volume that everyone likes or the volume that is not so liked?

Almost done with Love & Rockets: Maggie the Mechanic. Really enjoying it, and I adore Jaime Hernandez's art. Dude's an incredible cartoonist. One of the things I really dig is the use of Spanish words mixed in with the dialogue. Reminds me a lot of my family from Puerto Rico with how they just kinda randomly throw in Spanish while speaking English. It's fun to read and super relatable.
Also, whatsinaname, I checked and I actually have all of the Locas books. I guess I bought all five instead of three and two Palomar books like you thought. I definitely want to check that out once I finish these however.

If you need something to dislike, check out the preview art for Starbrand and Nightmask.

sure, with BPRD shit goes down, but you always get a tiny bit of hope, even when there's no reason whatsoever to have any.
with HB it's the opposite: the dude should be able to do anything he wanted, and yet everything not only falls apart but also gets progressively worse while he sits around and chooses to do nothing.

Crazy sh*t man, I'm still buzzed about that issue. Thinking of making an OT thread about it too.

That's where I am at right now. The art is gorgeous. Rena Titañon is easily my favourite from the volume.
Premium Format is different than Hot Toys. Looking forward to that Hot Toy Kylo Ren myself.

If you want to make an OT, make it for the Godzilla and Kaiju comics.
Otherwise, make a thread about the TPB as it is about to release-

Rena's great. I think my favorite character so far is Penny. Her relationship with Costigan is pretty damn funny and I like how she's obsessed with becoming a superhero.
A guy was selling his used copies of Marvel Zombies 1-5 OHC, along with two other Zombies side stories, for $125. It reminded me that I want to get Marvel Zombies, but I obviously wouldn't pay that much. I looked on Amazon for used stuff, and was able to get the 1-5 OHCs used at least in "Very Good" condition or straight up new for less than $30 after shipping. Hope nobody actually buys those for $125 without doing a little research.

Sounds cool, interested in seeing where it goes.
Hmmm yeah, not really liking the style but it still got an issue #1 pre-order last month. No turning back!
It's only one issue but it has great art and great emotional beats and shows why x-23 is great.

Cool, I'll have to try it out. I'm always on the lookout for quality, ongoing X-Men books because there's good bang-for-buck potential as my girlfriend is likely to read them as well.
This is an interesting comment. I often whine to my girlfriend about the way characters like Storm are drawn these days. Her features are very small and fine and she is skinny. It often looks to me like people draw her with what could be seen as features typically attributed to white people but then just colour her skin dark. But if an artist wants to be more realistic and draw black people with bigger features, as is more commonly seen in real life, and they overdo it, it can be taken as a racist carictature.
I read Watson and Holmes a couple of years ago which was written and draw by black men. The characters had features we are accustomed to seeing on the faces of black men we encounter in day to day life. (I would post a picture if I was more tech savvy and less lazy).
I'd be interested to know how people of colour prefer to see themselves represented in comic art.

The greatest war comic artist of our generation.
Well, rule #1 is to be aware of history and of what racist caricatures look like/have looked like but aside from that the sky's pretty much the limit I'd say.

Thanks for posting that. saved me the trouble of finding it myself. Mind you Gerads is the colorist too so its not like it was a miscommunication flub between artist, editor and colorist or w/e
Daryl Ayo had some interesting tweets on it. He basically said if you are a black cartoonist, you can sometimes run the risk of people accusing you of whitewashing your art if you dont draw your PoC as 'black' enough but you also should try to steer clear of historically racist methods of cartooning.
Found it!
Part of the problem is that the current default, in B&W comics, is that characters that arent obviously POC are assumed to be white so have to fight against that.

5 or so episodes into Jessica Jones and I just can't believe how good it is. I haven't felt so inspired by a hero since I was a kid watching Christpher Reeve as Superman. Luke Cage has been absent the last couple episodes though and I miss him.
One question tho. A quick google tells me that police officer Simpson is a character designed for the show. Is that right? Not character like him in the comic series?

The way the show depicted oral sex between him and Patsy was HILARIOUS by the way. Whose head moves that much during cunnilingus?

So, what's going on with Simonson's Ragnarok? Read #1 recently and rather enjoyed it. Is it being written as an ongoing or is it a fixed length mini-series?

Episode 4 is the best of the series, IMO. That first choice utterly broke me.
You got me.
yeah, I find this is a problem in prose fiction for me too -- i pretty much always default to white even with minority writers unless there are things that signify otherwise ("ethnic" names, speech, references to skin colour [which almost never happens])

Wow, Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland is so beautiful! #1 was great fun. Very imaginative.
He is someone unexpected but you should get a aha moment soon.
Hello ComicGAF! Maybe someone can help me here. I don't usually buy comics because i just don't know where to start. Only comics i own are Batman Hush, Heart of Hush, A Death in the Family, some of the Fables Deluxe editions.
Recently found out about the DC Convergence stories and was interested in buying the Nightwing/Oracle one and Supes one. My question is regarding how to best purchase these. Should i go digital? Buy it print? Will these be released down the line in a collection form (like a deluxe form or whatever it's called)?
