If the person or group is terrifying strong they can name themselves whatever the fuck they want.

Finally been introduced to Constantine in Saga of the Swamp Thing. Guess I'll be reading Hellblazer eventually.
Yeah, Trinity War isn't good. Everyone acts like a hyper-aggressive idiot for no good reason, unless you buy into it being the influence of the seven deadly sins.
And then the resolution for Pandora's plot, and why she restarted the entire universe, is completely forgotten. Dumb, dumb, dumb. But Forever Evil was much better. And read better in trade than the pacing being knackered up by it being horribly late.
Which is what's going to happen to Secret Wars at this rate.

Oh yeah,
Mad Max is pretty freaking dope. I was able to get a good 2 hours in last night and I can't believe how much fun it is. The vistas are really breathtaking and it captures the charm of the Gibson films, and it throws in the madness and mayhem of Fury Road. The car fighting is probably the most important aspect of the game, and they truly nail it. If only the bstmobile drove that well...
Anyway , comics.
Last night I read vol 1. of Jodorowsky The White Lama, and I think it's one of the most beautiful tales I've read. It's batshit insane and gorgeous to look at, when reading it you get the idea that the Mongolian people are something that he was deeply passionate about. I hope everyone at least reads volume 1. It's 50 pages and it's only $2 on comixology right now.

I haven't watched it
The same life I'm living 3 months later. Other than for the GAF 50/50 challenge last year I don't watch many movies in a single year, not to mention I've not been to a cinema to watch a movie since The Dark Knight iirc. I'm plenty occupied with comics/manga and assorted other hobbies. Movies are way down the priority list.
The other thing is it's post-apocalyptic. Only thing I enjoy less in my fiction is zombies I think. In summary, I still have no compulsion to watch the film or consume related media.
Good day, sir.

MEDIOCRE!
Post apocalyptic or no, it's best action movie of the past decade.
You go in for the well paced and presented plot, the awesome stunts, the great characterization, and dat Charlize Theron.
I dislike zombies as the next guy but gimme a good game or movie featuring them and I'd watch it.

Let's put that to the test-
1- Do you have a PS4?
2- If so, Did you get the newest Zombie game(s) that was released last week on PSN?
I won't avoid something altogether if it contains those elements, particularly if it's from a trusted creative team, just that I won't make it a priority to read/watch/play that particular thing. So if it's in something that's already low priority, well, that just got a whole new lower level of priority. Positive word of mouth obviously helps push it in the other direction. It's a balance between all sorts of factors.

Well there's RE 1 Remaster, we've got RE 0 Remaster releasing by the end of the year with a funky Wesker mode. There's Zombie Vikings if you like beat'em-ups.
Fair enough, do consider watching it in the near future though, so that you too may join us in Valhalla; shiny and chrome!
We've got nothing! I want a ps4 version of state of decay. I'm not that interested in resident remakes or new resident games, Capcom is mostly awful.

I think have State of Decay but haven't bothered to install it yet :V
I've enjoyed much of Capcom's output in the past 15 years though.
So, Until Dawn. Worth picking up? Need a really good horror game after playing Alien: Isolation.
I really want to read Hellblazer, but I procrastinate. Low on money and all. :/
Has anyone here read the new Ming Doyle run? Is it any good?

I am not aware of the history of the name/group but maybe prior stories don't make it feel silly.
If it were in a series like the current Batman or Batman & Robin or Grayson, I could see it fitting in. Goes with the tone of those books. But when I read eleven issues of everyone taking themselves super seriously and worrying about the fate of the world and a major "bad thing" happening that could have serious implications, I don't expect this page. This page was the first time I heard of that name.

Yeah I'm rereading through some JL new 52 on the side as well, the early issues do paint Diana as an edgelord but the amazo arc starts turning it around. I do like Johns JL for the most part, starting with Throne of Atlantis. Something like John's JSA > Morrison's JL > JLI > John's JL > Kelly's JL for team books. My main complaint is that he can't juggle the team very well, Barry & Aquaman may as well not exist, Shazam & Cyborg exist for some throw away dialogue (except the metal men issues were excellent, so was curse of shazam). Lex & the trinity are the real stars of the show right now.
I'd be satisfied if Darkseid was his exiting arc and he went on to work on Shazam. Curious who DC would let pick up the reins. Then again there was suppose to be a Rise of the Seven Seas JL aquaman event, he last said it was planned for late 2015.

The one where the local screens were only running dubbed 3d versions, and fuck if i'll pay good money to see a two hour long film with no breaks and worse iq and sound than what i've got at home.
Watched it as soon as there was a BR version available.
Does ST treat him like a plague carrier as soon as he meets him?

I thought the Crime Syndicate was an original creation by Johns as well, FWIW.
Having read the first three trades of Swamp Thing, Swampy is cautious of Constantine but goes along with what he says.

In general, I actually agree with you on both counts; zombies are overplayed as fuck (and frankly weren't that interesting to start with), and post apocalyptic settings are most often used as just a way to add cheap angst than anything. As a rule, I avoid both, and I don't even watch that many movies.
Mad Max is an entirely different animal. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.
Yeah, that was definitely a moment intended to get an "oh shit" reaction from people already familiar with the group. I can see why it landed flat for you.
That reminds me I need to see whether or not Best Buy has any more of those bluray/graphic novel combos for Earth 2.
Yeah, lots of names in comics are silly without history or context. The idea with that was more a reveal with history to lend weight to the name rather than just the words 'crime syndicate'.

I'm finally reading Justice by Jim Krueger (penciled by Doug Braithwaite and painted by Alex Ross).
The art is BLOWING MY MIND. So incredible. Check this out:
Heh I've known about this book for years, I think I have Vol. 1? Should give it a reread someday
But yeah Alex Ross' art is fantastic.

Only Absolute Edition of a book I own.
Marvels and Kingdom Come, which were drawn and painted by Alex Ross were both absolutely amazing, but I am thinking this, with the penciling by whatever that guy's name is, might even be more impressive.

That reminds me I once had a portfolio review from the publisher of Atomic Robo. He looked through my work and was like well we try to publish all ages comics so we wouldn't really publish something where a character wears a shirt that says Fuck Canada on it.
I think that was the only thing he said about my work. I was like dude I'm not asking you to publish these strip they've already been published ha

Those standards are too damn high.
I'm sorry brother but I don't think we can do business. You seem like a risk. Keep working hard though and maybe one day we'll get you under this umbrella.

Alex Ross made it very hard to read comics for a while after seeing his Kingdom Come work. The painted style just destroyed everything else.
Yeah, I'm right there with you. I definitely appreciate the quality of his art, but it doesn't do a lot for me.
Dunno if any of you play them, but the new Dangan Ronpa seems pretty stellar.
Comics: I like more realistic looking stuff, o guess? Ross and whoever's in his wheelhouse is preferred. I like stylization too though. Like, I love Aja/Samnee/Sorrentino.
Really anything that doesn't look too cartoon-y.
I think I'm gonna read Squirrel Girl #1 right now though, so there you go.

Why? We appreciate the arts quality but it simply doesn't appeal to our senses. It's OK. There is no need to be mad.

Interested in the story, but not the gameplay. I'll be waiting for a price drop.
I don't know about Germany, but they've reprinted the first two trades in the US this past year. I haven't read the whole run, but the first two volumes are stellar.

Zombies, like the Punisher, are a setting. What you do with the setting is up to you. Try to make the setting the center piece and you're very likely to fuck up.
Wouldnt ever classify Dead Rising 3 as great, but thats just moi.

And that is why you should start a list.
Hehehe ok.
I actually love a wide variety of styles, but I can see how the more photorealistic style is not for everybody. I guess, for me, it's partly because of the quality of the art, but, even moreso, because it's a look that you NEVER see in comics outside of these few Alex Ross runs. It's so unique, and, because the quality is so incredible, it just delights my senses.
