I don't know if I am prepared for him to go...Who?
Thanks, guys. I finally made it home. It was ROUGH, but I'm glad to be out of there. I dislike crowds in general, so hours and hours of being surrounded by hundreds of people is not fun, lol.

I gotta do 8 hour shifts at Walmart tomorrow and Saturday. And I just got hired.
Even Tony?
I saw some salt over She-Hulk starring in a book called Hulk. These are not rational people.
Some people are more mad over Riri from both sides of the diversity debate.
Oh man, I didn't even see that post. I should have. I would have had to read it off Wikipedia until I get dem omnis though.

A lot of comic site users act like children. The comments in that She-Hulk preview are fucking embarrassing. There's one guy there who keeps commenting that Marvel and DC need reboots.

Fair enough. I think that'd be hilarious
I still see people asking why Bendis created created a new black character when we already have some that he could've used instead of Riri.

Apparently no one in the Marvel universe should deal with anger and grief when their loved one dies. Dude's just want the same shit.
What area you working?
She was also one of the finalists in the Marvel Legends figure fan vote.
No way I could vote for her though as the other choices included Songbird and Typhoid Mary.

Well I decided to sample some of the Rebirth and #1s eligible for the BOGO sale. It's a shame Detective comics isn't one of them I guess since it didn't start with #1. Also a bummer it's looking like no Dark Horse sale?

Not this time, no.
When Riri was first revealed people asked why Bendis created Riri when we already have Miles. I also see people now asking why she exists when there was a a girl connected to Rhodey or something that he could have used.
I'm actually excited for this and never was for CW2.We got another event coming up!
Cashier.
Did that for 5 and a half years before moving to Electronics back in January.

I can understand them saying that she should've stayed as War Machine and Doom be Iron Man (I was one of the ones who was super into that idea), and that people would've preferred Rhodey's niece (I think?) over her.
Beyond that it's whatever
but are you excited for monsters unleashed!?

I've read some old Tomb of Dracula and that shit was sick, so actually, yes.

I used to love Marvel's old monster stories. I'm actually pretty excited about Unleashed.
And we will have getting two ongoings spinning out of it to continue the monster stories.

I think whoever wins deserves to be given a chance.
I haven't been following this, but is it based on our election or do comics contain the possibility for something better?

It's always hard with characters in shows/books/games/movies/whatever that are against the good guys, but because they're just doing their job. Like, I'm watching Person of Interest and close to halfway through S2, and
I apologize for the off-topic.
On-topic:
Squadron Supreme #13
Okay so this book is still good. Some pretty poignant emotional bits. More existential than anything. I love time shenanigans as well. Plus I enjoy the team dynamics and how they're building to the future Ulysses gave them.
Now, plot specs:
Squadron Supreme is still enjoyable. Makes me curious as to why they only went after Namor. I didn't read the first arc so I don't know if they explain it.
I want to hate Donnelly because he's so damn persistent and trying to prevent the good guys from doing good guy things, but at the same time he's just doing his fucking job. Although you think he'd look harder into the shit the "Man in the Suit" has been doing and actually look at the results. Still, he's just doing his job, which is what Carter was doing previous to him. I mean, he's dead now, so it's irrelevant.

Now, plot specs:
I don't think Namor is necessarily Namor. Even with the revolving door that death is, there's always consequences. There's absolutely no way that Namor is willing to just be Namor and be all cool about it. I guarantee that evil Zarda is planning on this. Or at least Modred is. One of them has to have a contingency. The plan was to bring Namor back as an ally, yeah? I'm banking on them having some sort of control spell, since Zarda helped kill him. He wouldn't be exactly compliant, not like he is now (even then it's still pretty shaky). Also this proves that Black Bolt can straight up use magic.

Finished Rise of the Tomb Raider. Very fun game. Better than many comics, even.
8/10.

Nice! I grabbed the season pass for very cheap in the Xbox sale so I think I'll replay the game and do all the extra stuff after I'm through with pokemon.

Don't know if this has been mentioned:
Amazon has a $10 off $25 book code right now "HOLIDAYBOOK"
I added 3 of upcoming Flintstones Volume 1 paperback to test it and it took the discount off. Thought comic peeps might be able to get some mileage out of this. Says it's 1-use, good til 28th.

This hurts. I've no idea why Marvel won't publish it. Writing and art has been done for years at this point.

It's done? I always thought this was a planetary thing where they wandered off to other projects

Everyone involved turned in their work ages ago. People are guessing Marvel want Hickman back but that ain't happening with his successful Image books and freedom to do what he wants.
