Support NeoGAF

[Tawney Bomb]

Just saw some of the Marvel solicits. Greg Land on X-Men again just feels so right.

 

[Owzers]

Trump's speeches are worse than DC's recent cancelling. He made a call back to the megyn kelly comment about blood coming out of wherever as a joke.

Still watching it now though...

 

[KidDork]

I wondered how long it would take for DC to notice I was enjoying Gotham By Midnight and shitcan it.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Hey y'all. Long time no see. Fell off into some other hobbies. Starting to chip away at my backlog now. Good to be back.

Holy shit, you're alive. :O

 

[Sandfox]

Ew that Catwoman cover is horrible.

What the hell is with all the delays at Marvel? even the Star Wars books are getting affected by this bullshit. Lando, Star Wars, Darth Vader and even Shattered Empire all shipping up to a month later. Shattered Empire just started!

I think they're trying to space stuff out due to the main Secret Wars book being delayed.

 

[Zombine]

Holy shit, you're alive. :O

ComicGAF old and new is starting to collide. I told ya'll that convergence is happening.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Oh, I just remembered; read Shattered Empire #1. Wasn't terribly impressed (as you may have sussed out from how I forgot that I read it ). Art was decent writing was okay, but... it was just that. Decent, and okay. Nothing really stuck out to me. I'm curious to see where the plot goes, but I think I'll just stick to the wikis.

Shattered Empire was a fun book. I don't like it as much as, say, the Aftermath novel, but one can hardly compare a single comic issue to a novel. Either way, I'm really enjoying this new post-ROTJ stuff.

bleh the momentum has totally killed Secret Wars for me I'm just going to read whenever the trade comes out. Wish it wasn't fucking with the only books I'm really enjoying.

I just started Aftermath it seems fun, Sinjir is cool. Still need to read my copy of Shattered Empire. Can't wait for Chewbacca.

Yeah, it's pretty brutal and kind of utterly ridiculous. Plus we're going to be getting into ANAD Marvel without even being close to the end of Secret Wars on top of everything.

 

[MG310]

Hmm. Anka Captain Marvel sounds like it's the same premise as Bucky's current book. Though Carol is getting Alpha Flight and Abigail Brand as her supporting cast.

 

[Cheska]

Hey y'all. Long time no see. Fell off into some other hobbies. Starting to chip away at my backlog now. Good to be back.

Anybody have thoughts on Rat Queens #11? Man, I thought Sejic had me sad about losing Upchurch, but Fowler damn near broke my heart. Good to have the Queens back, but the art is sad. I was getting more used to it as the issue went on, though. Hope that I can get over it.

Sad.

WELL DAMN! Never thought we'd see you back here my friend!

 

[Hagi]

It's so good as well but whatever, reading it all at once should be pretty cool. It's going to be weird reading books that are supposedly out in October set in a world where you wont have any idea to it's creation for another 2 months. Comics!

The Batgirl trade had some changes.

http://panels.net/2015/06/18/batgirl-trans-representation/

Sometimes. I know it happened for sure with Sex Criminals from Image. But that was more to do with not having the licensing paperwork for the lyrics they wanted to use go through in time. But this was changed in the trades.

Infinite Crisis has half the dialogue changed to fix retrospective continutiy issues in the trade. It's almost a different book.

Lots of books have typos etc fixed. I know TF:MTMTE has had a few editorial references fixed.

Some of the dialogue in the Civil War trade was changed to make Tony come across as slightly less of a supervillain IIRC.



I thought that was the original plan but they didn't do it in the end as it was funnier?

The first volume of Lobdell's Teen Titans took out a monologue where Tim talks about being a Robin. I have the first issue on Comixology and I think it's still there.

Sometimes, yeah. First example that comes to mind is Injustice, they fixed this panel that looked super fucking terrible in the original release. Which is a shame, because if it wasn't for the incredibly bad art, it would've been a really powerful moment.

Huh. I'll avoid getting single issues when I can to be safe.

So a senior DC Editor is a serial sexual harasser.

And it's probably Eddie Berganza? And there's probably three other guys in Big Two comics who are just as bad as him and Edmondson?

Comics: I love you but stop being hella fucked.

Guess I shouldn't be giving DC or Marvel money.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

why must I scroll so much

 

[Freezasaurus]

Image is the only safe haven for your monies.

I am sure there are some shitbags in indie comics.

Actually, what the hell kind of thing to say is that, there's a shitton of good indie labels.

There are shitbags everywhere.

EVERYWHERE

As if 1 Cyclops wasn't shit enough now we get 5 of them.

I can't be the only one who was hoping he was dead. Same goes for Wolverine.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Indie comics are not perfect – at one of the companies I work for is a Bad Drunk, who again has done harassing shit (to other men, though het) at public social events. I believe he’s been taken aside by HR and told “ginger ale or GTFO”, but I don’t want your take-away to be that DC/Marvel Bad, Indie Good, cuz it ain’t that clear cut.

Sorry bro. Bubble burst. Indie is shit too.

Honestly expected a higher number.

De Campi is awesome. I got a good impression of her from a few interviews she's done.

Love that last bit.

The Business of Professional Comics panel she hosted at Special Editiion was great.

There is some major tracing going on in that Greg Lando Calrissian Uncanny cover.

Watching a good artist do much of everything always makes me so utterly envious. Zoop zoop zoop and here's a person or a thing or a whatever. Zoop zoop zoop and maybe now it's in colour.

Angela's new costume was revealed today. It will be used in Angela : Queen of Hel, Designed by Stephanie Hans who does the art for the book. Glad they killed that crap costume from the end of the last run real quick. The Witch Hunter costume has been great and I love this one too. Not too sure about the headpiece but its not bad.

I may have convinced my wife to dress up as Angela for Halloween earlier. This is a much sicker costume than the dumb bikini she used to wear

Between the new one and the secret wars costume they have made a very obvious effort to move away from that design.

All of the costume designs so far have been more or less in line with her original Spawn designs. I don't think they want to stray too far from that.

Its a bit of a change. I think she looks way better in the newer gear.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I was not aware she was from Spawn. Thank you for that bit of comic history.

Yeah, Gaiman won her from a lawsuit against McFarlane and brought her over to Marvel. It's also why Angela issues of Spawn were being excluded from recent trade collections.
