Been doing a couple pieces for Inktober. Mostly comics focused because thats who I am
Ill be doing an Apollo and Midnighter one so Tim will stop texting me at night. They say appeasement isn't a good strategy for tyrants but we will see! Taking requests since Ill have to do 31 of these total
edit: I ordered UXM omnibus vol 2 which will complete my UXM omnibus collection. Wee. Those things can sell out quick for expensive books

Finished Luke Cage last night, and liked it... Though I think it's my least favourite of the Netflix/Marvel shows. I like Cage, but his fighting is a bit "HULK SMASH" -- it's just not as visually exciting as martial arts.
I thought Cottonmouth was a great villain. Sinister, charismatic, unpredictable.

Diamondback however was just fucking goofy. Especially after he put his super jumpsuit on. All you could see was his goofy smile beneath that visor, and it was not menacing at all. I did burst out laughing when he said "Bye Felicia" though.
Loved Misty. Loved Claire. Loved the live music in Harlem's Paradise. I liked the music

Jessica Jones was great, good Bendis is here, pls keep him away from teams or anything higher scale.
Is this an Overwatch thing?

This is disappointing to read. I only liked JJ when she was caught up in teams and higher scale stuff.
Marvel LATER continues...
JJ works best when doing her own thing

I liked her best when she was like working for Captain America that one time. Stuff like that, an interesting POV of the MU, always seemed like the point of the charac.

Death of X #1: Oh fuck this so far
If the goal here is to make me hate the Inhumans by the time IvX rolls around, they're off to a great start! The terrigen cloud is such a bullshit plot device and if there is one good thing that comes out of these two events, it would be the elimination of that crap for good.
Also maybe don't shine such a bright and direct light on the absurd double standard in the Marvel universe with regards to mutants and ANYONE ELSE with powers. There's a scene here where an inhuman emerges from a cocoon and immediately unleashes an uncontrolled and potent power on a crowd, which is supposed to be one of the big reasons people hate mutants but I guess if they're coming out of a cocoon it's your own fault for being in the area? WHEN are we going to see the civilians of the Marvel universe turn on the fucking Inhumans? It's overdue.
Fuck off with killing one of the best X-Men for no damn reason here. The silver lining is he's a hard one to keep down, but it's still a garbage move for a cheap shocker.

Isn't everything an Overwatch thing?

Man, I don't know what to think about Shade #1. The back-up was more entertaining than the main comic.
I am going to forget most of the spoilers by tomorrow morning anyway.I did try to avoid specifics at least!
Glad that death of x is continuing the x-men fuckery.

If you're mostly concerned with price, Marvel Unlimited is great value. They currently have a free month with code NY16 at checkout (open to cancelled subs as well, so I hopped on myself).
My Big Time onwards Slott read-through of Spider-man stuff I have on Comixology finally took me up through Spider-verse, and I honestly enjoyed that. I definitely would've preferred it to have focused more on reveling in the insanity instead of putting so much attention on the kind of generic and super strong for reasons I don't understand villains who are derived from that era of Spider-man I thought everyone really, really hated. (I haven't read the whole Spider totem/Ezekiel/weird powers and all that junk part of Spider-man history, but I really haven't heard good things, so it feels weird to have the core of the event kind of anchored in that).
I mean, if nothing else, tokusatsu Spider-man and his Leopardon played more of an actual role than I thought they would, so that's cool. (I knew Leopardon was in there, but I had been led to believe by something or other that it was just a one-panel cameo.) Oh, and Mayday made it out better than I was expecting from the beginning, so that was also nice.

Hahaha wat? I think the conqueror worm was around 2001, the original seed of destruction was 1993. I'm not sure if I missed a joke here though lol. Also dude I remember you making the Hellboy ot back in the day, I thought you'd be further by.now!
That plot twist is everything.
Tizoc was quoting your image of Aliens: Salvation, it just didn't carry over because it was quoting a quote.

Still can't believe they did it like that. It was like deadly class #21 stuff
I dun liek it.
It could get good, but right now it's just too out there for my taste.
Bullshit. People can be on two teams. I'll accept an adjunct member.
I mean, you should read it before you make that judgement and Tyklops is the teen version of the current biggest mutant terrorist around.
Ramos art though...
When it works, it works well, but sometimes it doesn't work.
and in this case it's not working.
I just finished Pulse so I could read JJ. Really good issue. Also, it's fun that they were teasing Civil War back in 2005.
He is going to be the team fuckup #callingit.

I think we are at the point where the delays in CW2 are causing plot points to be offhandedly outed in other books. For example
Invincible Iron Man #14 all but tells you that Tony dies, and seems to be fulfilling a "last days of Tony Stark" plot.
Champions making it clear that ain't shit gonna happen to Miles. Not that anyone would expect it to. Oh and the Viv and Vision are the Last Men Standing from The Vision.

Champions was great. I like how they put
all those character cameos in there so Marvel can just move them over to Champions when their individual solo books get cancelled.
Why is this so true

Marvel thinking ahead.
you say terrorist, I say the last hope of his people against oppression
and, also: I'm the one guy who's totally bored of Mark Waid
but also also, Strange Fruit was the clumsiest attempt at being A Comic With Things To Say About The Problems
look
this is a 2015 comic

Perhaps, but I think I might be getting there. I feel like he's been putting in a lot of low effort work since DD ended.
I think you're in the minority there.
That's kinda like saying you are only liked Spidey when he adventured with the f4.
Don't believe these chuckleheads. The new JJ is kind of all of that weird stuff.
That parallel universe, time and space stuff.
This is so wrong

It's weird, because I never hated Cottonmouth. Like, he did some bad shit, but I never really hated him. I didn't dislike him, and his constant fuck-ups just made him tenacious. It made it all very personal. And then the flashback just made me feel bad for him. Then WHAM comes Mariah and her talking to Mabel's picture and shit. And then straight up pedophilia, incest, and murder in about a minute.
E10 also has a pretty hefty twist in it, too. With it turning out that Reva was playing Luke for literally the entire time. Don't feel so bad, in retrospect.

Still, I'm only just finishing E10 and then I got shit to do.
