No kidding. I'm not even paying attention anymore until she releases.
I haven't paid any attention. They will reveal her when they are ready. I'm too busy playing the game to follow an arg.
I haven't been following the arg but i get annoyed when things are announced too early and in this case their hype has just been a massive disappointment. It's like EA's E3 press conferences where they announce that people are working on a game but not the game. We have...plans for a game.
If you don't follow that stuff then all you know is that Sombra is coming. If that. It shouldnt have any hype. You know more characters are coming. If no one follows the arg they still have to reveal Sombra lol. Just play the game and when they are ready she will drop. I get wanting new characters, but people following that Sombra thing so closely are twisting the knife on themselves.
Rated T+. Now, granted, it's THE most mature book I read, content-wise. It's like at that ceiling of what I'll read.

How long before Marvel realizes that Carol as Captain Marvel was a mistake an nothing but trash?
That book shouldn't be T then. Velvet is easily less mature than East of West. East of West has a dominatrix scene lol with Doma Lux.
This won't ever happen.
Yeah, I don't know why it's rated T+. There are several DC/Marvel T+ books that aren't REMOTELY like East of West. It's not something I would normally read.
I'm actually shocked that it is. It's violent as hell.

Yeah it's been like 60 years and they still haven't figured out that the Inhumans were a mistake.
Sure is one beautiful deluxe edition, though.
Everyone other than Medusa is boring as shit to me.
Image OHCs usually are.

Naja, tho.
Great design. Nothing character.

I have been reading Uncanny Inhumans for a year and have seen them often enough in other titles, and I still could not tell you the name, appearance, AND the power set of any of the new inhumans. I might be able to string together a couple of those things but never all three. Not for a single character.
Outside of Kamala of course, who barely registers as an inhuman to me and, notably, rarely appears in their books.
I am stunned that East of West is rated T+. My daughter has read and seen some pretty mature stuff but there's no way in hell. I don't put any stock in ratings, though, and that goes for any media.
And, see, here is a character that first popped up in the midst of a huge cast of new and forgotten characters, who hasn't even had a cameo in...five years? Almost five years? I could still write a paragraph about her.
Fucking nuhumans.

Scalped - Vol. 4: The Gravel in Your Guts
[5/5]: There's not much for me to add that I haven't already said about the past volumes. This just continues to be an extremely engrossing read. Aaron does such a great job juggling so many different characters and plot points, but more importantly, the way he brings them all together is really impressive. I love how he's structured the story as well. Each volume, he's peeled back a layer and we get a deeper look at the characters and world.
Can't wait for the next volume (after tomorrows weeklies).

Red Crow continues to be my favorite character and I loved that so much of the volume was focused on him. He's such a badass too for how old he is, the fight in the bar caught me off guard with how effective he was at dispatching the goods.

Inferno and Naja should be easy enough, but I don't really like how the Nuhmans were used in ANAD.
I don't think I ever finished the All-New Marvel Now Inhuman run and need to get back to it.

Inferno has fire powers but I couldn't pick him out of a lineup. And if his powers aren't more specific than "fire powers," which I believe is true, well, double ugh.
I take it he's a major player in All-New which I have only read a couple issues of. I didn't read the pre-ANAD inhumans book so maybe that's where I'm supposed to know him from? I dunno. I know I've seen a Generic Fire Guy with Generic Fire Guy Name around. They really do blend together for me.

Wasnt there a X-Man, too?
Inferno rarely appears in either All-New and Uncanny, which is one of the things that bothers me.
He has fire powers, but there seems to be more to it like regeneration and his rock form.

So he was a big part of that early Now push, is currently a background character (like almost all of them), will probably be a body in IVX. And he proves the point I was trying to make. Naja too. Don't know em at all.
If Hank's final act is to make the mist safe for mutants and highly toxic for inhumans I will forgive him for everything
Is Flint the blind guy? I like the blind guy. Even if his power makes nooooo sense at all for a genetic mutation.

I read through Squirrel Girl Beats Up The Marvel Universe last night and I really loved it. Probably my favorite thing to come out from Marvel all year. Really fun comic and it was just like a big long edition of the regular ongoing.
All of my books are packed right now since I'm moving next month but I left a couple out to read. I was in the middle of that Alan Brennert Batman hardcover and I was really enjoying that. Also set aside Wonder Woman by Rucka volume 1 and Sandman Mystery Theatre volume 1. I like both a lot so far, just need to actually read more.
The weird thing is that Inferno was on the ANAD teaser image lol.
I don't know if he'll die or not, but he'll actually be doing something in IvX lol.

Speaking of those teasers did that Citizen guy ever show up?

Yeah well so was Citizen V and you better believe I'm still salty as fuck about that
NO BRIAN, NO HE DID NOT
I would assume that teaser was for Thunderbolts, but Spencer and Marvel decided to use the character differently for the current overarching Hydra story.
Man, I think Landis does an incredible job with dialog in American Alien. It's wonderful stuff. I'm on issue 3 and Joelle Jones art is amazing. Actually it's all been amazing so far.
Issue 1 (Dragotta):
Issue 2 (Edwards):
Issue 3 (Jones):
I want to get the Squirrel Girl OGN. I will likely get the upcoming OHC and read that first though, to get a good feel for the character.
I have WW by Rucka on my wish list. I will likely get that in the next couple of months. In the meantime, I got the Wonder Woman by Mike Deodato trade that came out recently. Will probably read that soon.

Just the Mig reread for me dude, Moving into the final leg now (just finished volume 6 of Hell On Earth), really just waiting on HB In Hell 2 to show up. After that, I gots three volumes of Harrow County, 5 volumes of TMNT & Joe Golem vol. 1 to crack in to. Then I'll be sinking back into a good novel for awhile (The Fireman). I find it much harder to find time for juggling a novel all the time (and I hate picking up/putting down) but I like to keep it up.
Damn. I've considering moving to OHC for my image books recently too. I actually do think you get a substantial amount out of a single volume at Image 99% of the time, but I usually run behind enough that I could do it...I already have the first two trades of Velvet, but especially since it's (probably) going on a break, this is super tempting.
Hey now, this looks great! I had no idea they had got these artists in to work on the book, that's cool. Maybe I need to check that out, I have 0 superman trades haha, not even the Snyder book. My plan was to correct this with rebirth.

I'm re-reading the whole thing now and it really is great. Issues 3 and 4 are my favorites.
It's making me want to dig for more great Superman stories other than some of the essentials that I've already read (All-Star, Birthright, Kingdom Come, Red Son, Seasons, Last Son). Probably gonna check out Secret Identity next.
Anyone have more Superman suggestions?

ITT I continue to be the only person who cares about Inhumans
Power Man and Iron Fist #9
This was an okay issue. Effectively a big beawl that's sort of whatever while actual plot happens in the background. Carol is legit unforgivable at this point. The pro-predictive side is at its most unreasonable here. And Monica just comes off as a complete tool, which sucks because I like her. Storm...honestly I don't understand why she gets this involved. Protecting Ulysses to use his power to save mutants is one thing, but acting as Carol's elite doesn't suit her. She's got bigger fish to fry. Also sick ether delivered by Danny and Luke.
Mosaic #1
Maybe it's because I'm super tired, but I did not care about anything in this book. At all. Super boring and stereotypical. Interesting story idea and voice for the character. I might be able to come back for another issue

Haha well if you have it anyway man. I mean it's not Bru right but it's about what I would want, and more so, what I think they're capable of right now if they'd just put a team together and do the book.
Still pulling for a bucky/natasha spy couple book, the Americans does not fulfilled my all year round need for this kind of stuff.
I remember really liking this one man. I love Dash and Carol's destructive relationship and this is the one where
dash gets hooked right?
Red Crow too. Even for the things he does, he sees Brass for what he is, a truly disgusting cretin.

Speaking of New Super-Man, it looks like what we thought was a crossover event between the Super books is just going to be in Superman. Nice.

Do we read Brian Wood comics? Is it okay? This Briggs Land book has been getting pretty good reviews.
Although, when a solicit says "for fans of sons of anarchy" I feel like they're asking me not to.

She's an alcoholic in that. It does not go well for her.
It's never ok to read a Brian Wood comic.
I'm not sure they really had anyone else on there. Would be odd for Captain America to take down the entire crew of a prison full of other criminals.
