I'm really hoping it lands some sort of ongoing post SW. I love me some Brand.
Let's be real, they're all going to die.

Noticed the Black Widow / Punisher cartoon on Netflix. Can someone explain Black Widow's chest? Did she Korea'd?
Come on, brah. Gketter already had you covered. It was only a few posts above yours
Gillen wrote the S.W.O.R.D. from a couple of years ago, so outside of necessary appearances in Avengers books, it's basically him that's keeping Brabd around.
She's on the cover of Uncanny X-Men #600 though. I'm thinking maybe that hidden agenda is finally coming to light.
It's the end of the world, but still.
People shit on Identity Crisis, but Deathstroke is treated properly. He kicks everyone's ass, and loses because he's in a fight he literally couldn't win, and achieves his actual objective of slowing people down enough.
In an ideal world they'd just bring that book back. It was great.
I read most of my comics on a Nexus 7, so yeah, it's definitely doable, and you'll gain quite a bit of extra space zoom on that screen anyway.
But as a warning, the Android skin on that device is fugly as shit. It's also got some screen sharpening filter that has had terrible reviews, though I have to be honest I played with one yesterday and I didn't think it was so bad.
The Sony Z3 Compact tablet is better, but also considerably more expensive, sadly.

Thanos scored literal omnipotence, and still got his ass handed to him.
See, the Identity Crisis fight is a great example of overcorrecting. Forget winning, that is not a fight that could start. Flash or GL bitchslaps Slade out of existence and the JL moves on with its day. 15 seconds, tops.
EDITING TO AVOID DOUBLEPOST: Only had time to read Red Hood / Arsenal this morning and now it's time for work; really enjoyed it, on the whole. Some fun emotional beats, some decent action, some solid zingers. Nothing exceptional. The art has definitely solidified, though, much better than when the book started. The "as you know" exposition is getting a little grating, but that's basically my only complaint this week. Good book is good.

Lol fucking Spike. Yeah, he was canonically a jobber.
Extra-sized issue. And it's a good one. No joke, maybe the perfect Batman story for this day and age. It's a special thing.
Oh, Gillen's Journey into Mystery run (which stars Loki) which then goes into Young Avengers after it's done is really, really good!

Shade, The Changing Man #3, #4: Two more great issues. We get some information of where Shade came from and how his powers might work. The art and colouring is soooo good. This book deserves to be read in an Absolute Edition. Not on shitty paper in a painful single issue format. But I will take what I can get.
And another comic edited by Karen Berger that I am loving. It was nice to see her responses in the letters to the editor section. It would be great if she would get back into comics.

I heard his new issues had him doing some pretty crazy stuff, but yeah he's been jobbing for quite a while, especially outside of comics.
Arkham Knight makes him look like an absolute joke, AO has Batman h2hing him which shouldn't be possible, I think he knocks Deathstroke out in one punch in Batman & Son, then Robin beats him in a fight...
MMH is the biggest jobber though, but he's been doing great since new 52. Maybe the justice league was bringing him down.
That's what I'd say once I maintained merge control....might as well embrace it.

Comic day and we fall back to page 2? Shameful.

Nah, I'm good. GAF distills it down to what I need from Metal Gear: the memes.
So you're saying it's bland?
Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #5:
"I already have a codename.....MOM!"
"I'm not a thing! I'm not some collectible like a Barbie or a Pokemon! I KNOW WHAT I AM! I'm the girl who saved the day!"

My favourite Spider-Man story for years. Just amazing stuff all round. It'll be sad to go back to normal after this.

Oh yeah, forgot that was out today. The first four issues were really good.

Comics are dead to me until i get a statue with a good paint job. Could be forever.
Though i did read more of Atomic Robo vol 3 today, so maybe undead. Did you guys know that Atomic Robo is better than Valiant books?
My bad, didn't see that

We were all up until 4:15 waiting for the Destiny patch to finish downloading
SHES PERFECT NOW
Is everyone dead? that would be next level for me
Can you toggle helemts off now? that would be pretty cool. Waiting till the end of the month before I pick up the Taken King.

Stahp. I quit reading.
I honestly don't get why one would call it next level. It was an interesting issue that shed light on Woden (and Ananke), confirmed certain (mostly unsurprising) things and there were some references/implications that could still play out in interesting ways. Maybe some are already obvious and I just missed them. There's also nudity, for those that care.
I regret my Elder Scrolls Online character creation, both race ( went Nord) and looks. Should have been a lizard.....

Real talk, I saw the SHE'S PERFECT NOW and figured it was sillymonkey talking about that statue again.

It's next level because
it's a remix. All of the art is from previous issues, with light alterations.
the porn parody from Sex Criminals.

i feel like people have stopped lingering when they read comics and just vacuum up story beats and finish them in four minutes.
I'm tempted to paint the side of her hair but returning or exchanging seems the better route since i have the option. When first seeing the problem i thought " I can fix you" Can't fix the chip in her foot though...

Crushing up and snorting comics is the next step from eating them.

Yamcha was never that strong, or ever played up to be that strong, though. Gohan during the Buu saga was where he did it, though. Gets Mystic Gohan power-up, loses to Buu almost immediately. "Oh but he beat him up a lot." Still lost. Doesn't really matter after that.
I dunno. Like, he kills Qui-Gon, a Jedi master. He proves how strong he is, so he's not necessarily a jobber. He just loses to some really dumb bullshit. So, not exactly a jobber? Close, though.
But a new S.W.O.R.D. ongoing?
Thanos isn't really a jobber, so much as he gets in his way and causes himself to lose. Like, he isn't beefed up only to be knocked down by something else. He proves how strong he is, the aftereffects are shown. It's just that he gets in his own way and loses in the end.
Basically. Yes he won, but the fight was so ridiculous that it was like "Really?"
Only in BtVS, though. In Angel he's exactly how he should be.
Yeah his new series is cool according to my friends, but honestly, it's not going to be enough. He still only fights Bats to a standstill in that book. IN HIS OWN BOOK.
Old thread, though.
Finally implementing things that should have been in the base game. Seems like they are really going all in with 2.0 which for someone who dropped it before House of Wolves has definitely piqued my interest in the game again. Getting rid of Dinklebot but not rewriting the horrible dialogue before getting Drakebot is hilarious.
ten years from now this is gonna be the reading guide for johns' Green Lantern run
Oh, you meant that.
Yeah, I really liked the remix theme. It was done quite well and fit the theme of the volume, while still offering interesting insight into Woden. I'm still sceptical on the general direction of WicDiv though and it's a bit frustrating to me. They keep teasing us with secrets.
Question:
Is it supposed to be clear to me (as the reader) who the valkyrie (or rather god wearing the suit) on the last page actually is or why Ananke had him move that body?

I just realised that Justice League Dark spoiled a Major Event in Shade the Changing Man for me.
Depends on the comic. For many of them, there isn't much to linger on. You have quick movements from action sequence to action sequence or stories/art so decompressed that the writers want you to flip through the panels to create your own low fps vine.

Haven't seen it yet. Couldn't get my comics yet.
It annoys me that the photo of the statue on the box is significantly more detailed than the actual statue. Yes, false advertising is fun, but i still dislike it. Actual statue doesn't even have two eyebrows because they moved the hair down a bit and didn't bother painting a second one under it.

There's only 2 fan service parts of the movie:
1. When BW is getting into her suit the camera zooms in on her cleavage as she zips up.
2. When BW is riding on a hover bike her ass is sticking out and the camera is facing behind her.
Other than that it's kind of a boring movie. I was really disappointed considering Madhouse did this. Oh, and this movie is also the first animated appearance of Captain Marvel and she's basically a 10 second cameo. She doesn't talk and she has a domino mask for some reason.
