But this time it's a kid. He should know better.
yeah... that's pretty much what i wanted but god damn.
i might have to re-read it, as it was so compelling i blew through those last couple of issues so quickly.
They had the hardcover at NYCC
Of course he should, but much like Cho, you know what you're gonna get. And what you get is always fucking gross.
Great book is great

For sure, volume 3 is super tight too, covers quite a small timeframe if i remember rightly. You have so much good stuff to come too man. Volume 4 spoke to me a lot, i really enjoyed the set up and the relationship stuff it explores.
He had a disgustingly large booth at NYCC
Did I miss a Civil War issue or something? I am confused as fuck by this book.

You did. The trouble is, so did Marvel.
Didn't dude draw a shitty spider Gwen and gen 13.

Civil War II was supposed to be finished by now but Marvel has decided it is more important to have consistent creative in their event books than to have their line-launching events finish before the line launches.
Really didn't see it.

Watching Cloverfield this evening, the original. Such a great movie, just a really nice little personal tale of survival in the face of this huge disaster. This is what it must be like live in BPRD hell on earth world. Just monsters exploding out of the ground sinking your city, weird little larvae things trying to eat you.

I tried watching this a few days ago but it really freaked my daughter out. Anything where the movie successfully creates a sense of a real world crisis is a big NOPE for her. It's been interesting to observe which movies set it off (ET is another example) and what doesn't (any super hero movie).

Spider-Gwen was a good cover. Far from his other stuff risky stuff.

Been a GA fan since they did Infinite Crisis like 10 years ago at this stage.
I'm still hoping they'll adapt Jim Butcher's Spider-Man novel at some point.

All this falls on Marvel's editors. It's obvious they hire artist and pay no mind to what they draw. It's all about money in the end.
It was at a small stall. I meant to buy it. The hardcover looked stellar.

Ha aww poor mini echo. Although lol, I know my kid is just a touch younger (9 in December) but no way I'd put this on for him, he'd probably wet the bed hahaha. He really likes Pacific Rim though, have you tried that with her? I won't lie, it does have those crisis themes in some regards but if you read the Wikipedia page for the movie, in the themes section, there's some really interesting quotes from Del Toro about specific choices he made so it never becomes too real e.g. the areas the kaiju and robots have always been evacuated so there's no sense people are dying in the buildings that get knocked over. So it's never the same level of distress. It's more feel good.
No. You hire this man you know what you are getting. This isn't done unintentionally. He is known for this exact style and its something that sells big.
I still find it hard to believe that anyone at Marvel looked at the cover of Civil War #7 and didn't think "Holy shit, Carol looks hugely like a supervillain here."
It's got to be deliberate at this point. Part of me thinks the whole thing is commentary on Trump with the public celebrating a monster.

JSC's art all looks the same and it's very boring. I don't get the love he generally gets.

Yeah she's seen Pacific Rim, didn't scare her but she thought it was dull. I am definitely a lot more....liberal?...with content than most parents. And it's always the ones I don't expect that wig her out. Like War of the Worlds is the scariest movie of all time to her. ET? Holy fuck terrifying. Jaws, Poltergeist, Sixth Sense, those movies produced maybe one or two nights of nightmares between them. Every kid has different buttons I guess.

And who at Marvel is in charge of hiring him? JSC didn't just decide he wanted to do the variant. Someone is in charge of giving them work.
Never show you kids Night of the Living Dead.
Movie is ridicolus harmless by todays standards, but when I saw it with 12 I couldnt go into the cellar for almost two years because I was so traumatized.

"Please clap."
With him it's a legacy thing by now. It's like skottie young.
It's no coincidence that most of his covers are Midtown comics exclusive.

Ok but Marvel has editors. The discussion now is that Marvel doesn't seem to know how to advertise Riri. Someone approved of JSC's cover thinking this is what was gonna attract new readers.

Well there not getting any attention now. This is just another pile of problems along with people not liking Bendis writing a black women.
There is a problem with Bendis writing a black woman? One of his kids is black. I'm sure he is more qualified than most to write her. Eh.

Well played.
My mistake. Bendis has two adopted children.
I believe I read somewhere. Likely his tumblr that this was a big part of why he wanted to write this book.
