All that nostalgia.
BTAS was pretty great. Robins Reckoning and a few other episodes were really good.
But I think we can also admit that SSM was amazing. Better than the old Spider-man show, and probably one of the best animated super-hero shows. Its a shame it got cancelled and replaced by Ultimate SM.

Probably Beppo the Super Monkey.

It definitely needed a bigger push from DC for sure, but it also needed more to happen. The book suffered from the same, we're writing a 12 - 18 issue arc problem a lot of the Nu52 is/did suffer from. I liked the book I supported it, but it needed some faster story beats with some big hits to attract people.

Nooooooo not vibe

And Vibe was never seen again. In anything. Ever.
The End.
Part of me is OK with it though. A world where Vibe is successful and the Legion is retconned out of existence is not one I want to live in.

Vibe sacrificed himself to take away Nocenti Katana. He is a true hero.
I got the feeling that Vibe and Katana were mini-series books that DC didn't want to call minis because usually a "#2 of 10" don't sell well, right? They launched around the same time as the JLA book.
Same with Superman Unchained, except that would probably sell just as well if it were a mini-series.

There isn't a real precedent for that, Marvel made a random avenger/new avenger combo OHC once for the first most recent Bendis arcs on both books, but quit after that. It was a novelty. Only hope is a Infinity Omnibus, but with this OHC they might not bother.
What is the general consensus on Phonogram? It seems really pretentious XO

I read Green Team but I don't really care. Just means I get to add another book with probably better quality to my pull.

Ah, yes, the hand-grab page turn. The children at the centre learn very quickly (because I teach them) that if they want to get their mits on my Superman Family Adventures or Super Hero Squad books that they best be turning them pages gently from the corners.

No and no.
I'm so depressed about this cancellation. It makes me want to buy more comics. I just have to be a comics superstar, characters like this need to be shared. I need inseminate my new characters into existance. I need to force Dan Dio out of the comics inudstry. Working at Walmart is giving me the skills to realize my dream.

The fellas who created it, Walt Flanagan and Bryan Johnson, are sincerely and righteously into all that cyptazoic related shit, and the preview looked absurdly fun. I picked it up through them and haven't gotten it yet, but I'd pick up that first issue if you have any interest.

I personally like Land's artwork/tracing.
I think he is the literal worst 'artist' in the business today.
Its not like he just traces models and porn. He regularly steals from other artists as well.
And nobody seems to care.
If you guys hang out on the same IRC channel as I do, then you'll know that I love all things terrible
Seriously though, I like Land's artwork simply because there's no ambiguity as to who or what I'm looking at. There have been some books -- and I keep harping on some issues of UXM for this -- that I have absolutely no idea who is on the page.

TESD listener here.
Fair enough on the characters if they're not your thing, but Al Ewing is a damn good writer, and certainly no reason to avoid a book.
Trifecta (for which he was one of three writers, granted) was fantastic, and even though Zombo and Zaucer of Zilk aren't really my thing I can still see they're well crafted books. Marvel-wise I defy anyone to read his Avengers Assemble #14 AoU issue and say it was bad
Seriously?
Mr "Traces the Same Faces for Everyone"'s art has 'no ambiguity'? :|
I mean, when he's not making everyone look the same, he's drawing five different hairstyles on one person, I'm struggling to see how that would make characters easy to pick out.
(And as for 'what' you're looking at, there's a fair chance it's fake orgasms or invisible penises).

I am pretty new to comics and I'd really like to get into the Iron Man series but man, that art is hideous (and the current story arc is kinda boring, at least for me who's not rooted into the Marvel lore). Is there any chance artist and/or writer will change in the future?
Land's Ultimate Scarlet Witch is one of my...well, "favourite" is the wrong word, but you get my meaning:
I mean, did he even try to make it not look like porn? His "art" is trash.

Anyway, has anyone read Brubaker's Captain America? I've been thinking about diving into that series for a while and I remember seeing there are 3 omnibuses collecting his whole run from issue 1 through 50 plus the Reborn arc (before the renumbering). I just had a look and I'm guessing the first omnibus is out of print or something because Amazon are selling it for £154.59.
At least the individual trades are cheaper. Is it worth checking out?

There's never a shortage of forum dwellers with too much time on their hands.
Arc 1 (#1-7), and Arc 2 (Godkiller, #5-8) are both Gillen & Land.
Arc 3 (the current "Secret Origin of Tony Stark" arc) is all written by Gillen, and has four artists: #9-10 are Land, #11-12 are Eaglesham, #13-14 is Land, #15-16 Carlo Pagulayan, #17 Mahmud Asrar. That arc ended at the start of October.
The next arc (Iron Metropolitan) starts in November from issue #18. Still written by Gillen, art should be by Joe Bennet.
There's an interview about it here, on CBR which might give you some idea whether it sounds interesting to you
Thanks for the heads up! I'll give it a look.Arc 1 (#1-7), and Arc 2 (Godkiller, #5-8) are both Gillen & Land.

Instocktrades is selling the Black Beetle hardcover for $9.99. Now none of you have any excuse...
So awesome, it's bad in a good way!
On another note, I really like the art in Deadpool these days. Who's the artist?

The opposite of Land.

Damn. I should order that and the next couple Hellboy Library volumes. IST has great prices on Dark Horse books.
I already have it preordered on Amazon! I put money down for it as soon as it became available. It's out a little later here in the UK but with the shipping cost from the US I think Amazon might be a bit cheaper.
I can't help but wonder what this is traced from:
Why is she having an orgasm?
marvel comics are just that good, if this were DC she'd be dead.
