Morning Folks, remember to get put there and do your civic duty.

Drink tea and moan about the shape of chocolate bars that I don't even like?

Pretty sure he meant get stoned and sleep all day.

 

[Supaidaman]

I finally read Wonder Woman (N52) Vol. 2 and I could finally experience the "amazon guys image meme etc" in its pure form. Yay me.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

I remembered it was two for Tuesday at dominos and did my duty.

Well shit I had no idea I was such a patriot

Seems like Michigan is Trumpland.

What gives you the impression Michigan is going to vote for Trump?

Election GAF tells me this and maybe I am just super worried that the leader of the western world becomes an dangerous asshole

You know with how DC have featured Obama in quite a few of the Rebirth books I wonder if they're going to have Clinton take his place next year. In-universe Clinton spoke at post-Crisis!Superman's funeral after Doomsday.

Don't bring Toblerone into this.

I'm going to buy one tomorrow. I need to see it for myself.

America needs strong leadership in a time of Crisis:

He's even better at scandals than the other candidates. He engineered a giant rock of Kryptonite coming in from space and blamed it on Superman.

Clean Room Vol 1 has sold out and is going to 2nd printing. Walter Geovani is taking over art since Ellis stole the first artist for the Wild Storm.

Pretty sure he meant vote for Jill Stein and laugh maniacally.

First two arcs were pretty good, but then it went a little too sporadic. It started expanding the story out more and it got too messy and nonsensical for me.

I've been there 4 times. 4 TIMES!

 

[NinjamicWZ]

HOMIES has a comic? Huh.

Yeah, it was actually pretty great too, for my taste. Extremely cool art style, fully realized the characters and world with a slice of life, introduction story. 100% Latino creative team too. Looking forward to the second issue tomorrow.

The closest thing I can parallel the line work and pseudo-grahf style to is probably Kieth Giffen's really unique pencil work on Lobo Infanticide and Trencher back in the early-mid 90's.

 

[TheFlow]

mother panic and doom patrol in the same week.

 

[Owzers]

My nephew drew a little on my ballot so I wanted to throw it out but it registered fine.

That was a close one America.

Mother Panic will be Hillary's nickname as the voting totals come in tonight.

 

[echoshifting]

Mother Panic is the YA book I have been most looking forward to. I think it's gonna be fantastic.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

 

[Ross61]

Cyborg should take on a new personality esque of Teen Titans/Go. That's the one kids love most, and one where the writers could have more fun with.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Mother Panic is the book I'm most curious about from Young Animal. Mainly because I've looked at nothing from previews so far.

Never gonna happen.

Never gonna happen.

Lucy eventually has to learn to love it. What is she gonna do, watch anime?

Another child lost to the horrors of anime.

If they knew...

When is the next issue of that coming out?

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Dammit.

But wasn't that meme a thing and months later, the Starfire got announced?

 

[echoshifting]

New Avengers 16-17: More than half of this run has been event tie-in issues and crossovers, so it's damn impressive that it has managed to maintain momentum despite all that. Ewing has done this primarily by continuing to do his thing no matter what banner is on the front of the book. Both the Standoff issues and this CWII crossover have very little to do with their respective events, and everything to do with the continuing conflict between AIM, SHIELD and WHISPER. Enjoyed these issues and can't wait to see how it all ends.

New Super-Man #4: Great issue. That last page, ohhhhh shit. O_O Did not see that coming.

That's about as cohesive as my reviews are going to be today, I'm afraid.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Not really. That got made right around when RHatO came out. Starfire's solo wasn't out until like almost 2 years later. DC's response was basically "whatever" and then Lobdell wrote #6 to be mainly Starfire focused to explain who she is in the New 52.

And then, she got her groove back thanks to Palmotti/Conner

I think they also lowered her IQ.

 

[mreddie]

I think they also lowered her IQ.

Apparently to match her Teen Titans character.

 

[shingi70]

If I may be so bold, what was wrong with Rhato Starfire?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

If I may be so bold, what was wrong with Rhato Starfire?

When first introduced she was an airhead. Then issue 6 came out and presented her as someone that wants to live free and love all around, which was an upgrade to her first appearance. Finally as the series was ending she just kinda, was there. Not much character developement after her story arc with saving her planet and Blackfire.

First two issues were icky in that it implied she was Jason's mentally.damaged sex object.

The best route to go would have been making the three exist in a bi sexual polygamous relationship. Irrc the second red Hood book totally had some Jason/Roy ship bait.

 

[RepairmanJack]

They made her dumb but it wasn't in a completley bad way. It was more of a not understanding humans sort of way. It was like she just came to Earth and was amazed by everything she saw or heard. It lead to some great thought bubbles when she heard random expressions.

It's pretty clear Jason is Bi. Whether Lobdell intentionally is leaving hints or not, it's there for whoever writes him to just come out with it.

Spoiler

You didn't expect that "twist" at the end? I thought it was pretty much spelled out. Especially with his father being a part of a group he doesn't tell his son much about, the confrontation him and Kenan had, and the members of the group looking similar to the freedom fighters. And I think his father said something about investing his comrades being illegally imprisoned. I put all that together in my head and it just clicked to me before the final reveal.

Isn't the DC new writers/artist workshop showcase book out later this month?

 

[TheFlow]

Goal today:

finish Marvel backlog, then read 5 issues of claremont uncanny.

Samnee piece:

 

[Freezasaurus]

You know what I hate most about the new CBR site? That they can't just take you to the article you want to read. They have to load your article with another shitty article you don't care about right after it on the same page. Fuck you, CBR. Right in the pee-hole.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Samnee piece:

Awesome. Samnee is definitely one of my favourite artists at the moment. Loved his work on Daredevil and he's doing some amazing work on Black Widow.

This one's nice too:

Also, auto-loading more articles after it assumes you have finished reading the current one.

 

[mreddie]

Samnee is a treasure.

And yes, new CBR is trash as fuck but them exclusivos.
