It's always easiest to take a quick picture of yourself for reference when drawing so sometimes characters can come out looking a little bit like their creators.

Sounds good, I wasn't actually too interested in more Hal Jordan anyway. Think I've had enough of that for a lifetime. Is GLC a $2.99 or $3.99 book?

$2.99. Thankfully it wasn't bumped up for the event. The broad personalities of the GLC make for far more interesting reading than Hal Jordan right now.

Yeah, that was messing with me for a good few seconds before i decided it didn't really matter, which is probably not a good thing
Another Comic-GAF success story. I don't have enough adjectives for how good the art is all over the damn place.
I forgot to say earlier that I bought a floppy of Gotham Academy after reading the digital.
My LCS guy said Thor sold really well and Gotham Academy sold "as well as expected" - not sure exactly what that means, but I'm thinking it means "good enough."
I let Comixology decide for me after taking a good hard look at the page in the macro view.

Good stuff.

So I've got Wizard World Austin tomorrow and decided to put together some hand drawn pieces to sell (hopefully). Here are some of the ones I think some of y'all might like. Special thanks to the posters that gave me some suggestions as to who to draw!
There are others but I don't wanna spam *too* hard. I can edit the post to be just links if anybody finds it annoying.

Before I read Guardians 3000 (and upfront I will say that I am overjoyed to have my team back!), can someone tell me if they have explained either in book or in interview where
are?
Hey Ed, I'm loving your stuff. I'd kill to see something from the Legion, preferably pre-New52. Maybe Lightning Lad/Saturn Girl/Cosmic Boy trio? Or Mon-El and Superboy?

That new Thor was dope, (s/o to thyMusicMan for the hookup). I've never seen Russell Dauterman before but I was really into his art in the issue. What else has the dude done?
I'm waiting for Penguin to crash a slumber party.
Those are all great, I especially love the Iron Giant piece. Good stuff man!

Three weeks behind, comic reading time!
All these Legion appearances cropping up again. Why didn't you tell me they had a cameo in Booster Gold, Tim?!

I think it's more a matter of constructs being a pain in the ass and expensive (dollar wise) to animate. So they tend to keep it simple.

And hammers, he's big on those.
IDK the streamlined Timmverse art doesn't allow for a lot of crazy choices. He does don a Kyle Raynor mask at one point and uses a much suit

I also think, alot of time, you end up seeing GLs in situations where constructs don't always make a lot of sense. Most of the time they are seeking to apply a maximum amount of damage or force and a beam is the simplest means of doing so. A bubble is also the simplest and easiest way to provide a full aura of defense.

I think the irony is in John Stewart's architectural background. He has little creativity for someone with a eye for design.

He ain't no Kyle Rayner. #BestLantern
This is right. Rayner = Real GL

Is Matt Fraction's 2012 run on Fantastic Four/FF pretty self-contained? I know he left the books early, would I be good with the Omnibus or should I be expecting to pick up some more books from that run after his work on it ended?

His FF run was pretty neat but I thought the F4 run was awful, Bagley was so bad in it. If you could just get the FF run I'd suggest it.

That was by far the coolest part of Blackest Night, all the heroes and villains picking up with Ring Factions. Should've done it Universe-Wide woulda been the deffest.
I could read that. I think.
But only if Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner write the green lantern oath in Harleys current cringe worthy dialog. HO-LEY MOL-LEE

The Incal is bloody amazing. Just the first 3 pages paint such a great picture of the world the story is set in.
. This is exactly my kind of Sci-Fi.
That second page with the fall through suicide alley!

Thanks. If Fracton's F4 doesn't pick up major threads from Hickman's run then I'll probably just save the cash and go for his FF HCs or TPBs.
That really fucking sucks. Are they basically turning this book into Arrow: The New 52 Comic?

I was at the NYCC panel for GL just before Simon Baz was introduced and they really seemed to feel/think that fans were just going to go Ape shit for the character. That he was going to be just as big as say Hal or Kyle. Not that those were the words they used, but that's the feeling I got listening to them talk. I think in the end the exact opposite happened, they introduced him, used him a bit, and fans just did not give 2 shits about the character. At this point he makes like 1 or 2 panel appearances every once and a blue moon in the main GL books and I think that's about it. Hell I can't even think of him showing up in any of the Future's End books. They don't even see the character anywhere in the 5 years later future.

And the joy of guessing and then seeing which heroes got which ring.
TBH the only one of those even remotely interesting is Emiko. But really let's give the new team a chance to play around how they want to and decide who and what they want to use.

Given the digital first Arrow series already exists, turning the New 52 Green Arrow into a carbon copy and shedding the established supporting characters seems misguided. Maybe this new creative direction should have been launched with a #1 issue, instead of continuing the current numbering?
That's hardly surprising though given the huge popularity of the show.

Boogiepop, can I call you Boogie? Boogie I'm going to give you a little bit of truth here, that the internet hates and would have you not hearing. Jon Stewart is the MOST BORING GL EVER. EV! VER!
Now Kyle Rayner, that, that is a GL.
Late to the conversation, but I agree with this. I've hugely enjoyed the current Wonder Woman run, the art is fantastic, the story has been really enjoyable, it's a shame that the book's going to be moving away from it all. I might be dropping it too when that happens, which is a shame as it's probably my favourite DC book at the moment. Has there been any news on what the team are moving to next, Cliff Chiang especially?

The best thing about Future's End is that Ollie is older and has a beard. Beard Ollie ftw
It's still disappointing to see those ideas and characters of Lemire's run nowhere to be seen.

It's just been one issue. We don't know their intentions.

I'm a fan of Simon Baz. I enjoyed his introduction to the DCU and Johns' characterisation, but he just faded away. Not enough time was given to the readers to establish a connection/relationship with the character. Once Johns' left Green Lantern and Baz joined the Justice League of America, his character was quickly forgotten and the impact he might have had was quashed; he didn't play much of active role on the team and the book was quickly moving towards Trinity War and Forever Evil. A new character is going to suffer tremendously from lack of exposure over a period of more than seven months. I'm sure there are many readers who don't even remember who Baz is.
With the introduction of Jessica Cruz, Baz has lost the appeal of being the new kid on the block, the new model. Focus is going to be solely on the character of Cruz and developments will be centred around her. Baz is ultimately in an awkward position and consequently, writers simply don't know what to do with him. The best thing that Johns can do is to bring Baz into the Justice League, giving him upmost exposure and develop him alongside Cruz. I'm not sure a mentor relationship is going to fly, given Baz is just as inexperienced, but it's the best course of action.
