Maybe it's just me, but like, as a comic book shop owner, I wouldn't tweet that business is going bad just to score a point dunking on Marvel. Considering they're the market leader, no one with actual investment in comics should be rooting against them.
This is an alarm. This is saying "I can't shoulder all the work of drumming interest in Marvel Comics after years of declining sales". Slott and Spencer are getting mad because they're company men.
Put it more simply: Ryan Higgins isn't why I don't give a shit about all the X-Men books save for Astonishing. Marvel fucked up, and they're showing no intention of changing course. That's dangerous.

Just make it a hundred issues of Kite Man. Heck, my dream is for Kite Man to have a suicide squad of his own that's full of d-list villians. Kite Man, hell yeah.
Repairman Jack is calling for Kings head.

Kite Man is a character I want to drown in ongoings for. Kite Man: Year Zero, Kite Man Team-Up, a romantic comedy series starring him, do it all. Just give me four books a month about him.
But they are panicking with that and Generations, Empire's reaction was met with boos and they didn't know what to do.

I much prefer this. While I like the aesethics of Rebirth the banner always felt pretty intrustive to the covers.
Also after catching up on Superman, I'm pretty dissapointed with the reveal of Oz's identity. I'll wait for the arc to finish to see if this is one of those "uninteresting premises on paper but execution makes it up" type stories.

What time is the main Marvel Comcis panel today at NYCC?
Is it going to be streamed?
Btw, that Battle Chasers game looks soo good. Thinking about reading the comics before starting the game since it takes place after the books. But wasnt someone on here the other day talking about it not being that great? Is it only the 0-9 collection or is there another set of the books? I thought he started it somewhere and then started over at his own company.

I bought it. Haven't started playing yet, though. Need to finish Ys VIII first.

Battle Chasers is a decent read. Nothing exceptional on the writing front, but Joe Mad art is Joe Mad art. The game is very nice, though. Super classic JRPG type combat and gorgeous visuals (because it looks just like the comic).
Is there a specific set of books that deal only with the Watchmen/DCCU storyline? I dont have time or space to read all the new arcs Rebirth has had.
Titans first arc hinted at it. But mostly it's been The Button arc from Batman and Flash which should be collected and Doomsday Clock.

X-Men Blue and Venom crossover announced. So how many books are Venom crossing over with?
Edit: Marvel pressures retailers to buy tons of copies of the Power Pack etc one-shots so they can do ongoings with them.

Some interesting things from that panel:
Intergalactic Wakanda is going to be the basis of the third season Coates black panther story
Legion and rogue/gambit are going to be 5 issue mini series
Rogue/gambit writer is going to be Kelly Thompson (luckily not Anka on art)
Wilson Fisk as mayor is going to be a big story for Daredevil and effect other series too

She was announced for Vision after King left, right? Guess the same thing that delayed Perlman's Gamora for years.

I don't even think they pushed it up, so much as they just hastily slapped together something that looks kind of like a relaunch if you don't look at it too closely. Whatever comes next year will likely have more planning and effort put into it, which of course isn't to say that it'll actually be up to the task of boosting sales.

After the way she was treated by a quite big section of the fan base I'm suprised she wants anything to do with comics ever again

Definitely true.
Comics is such a weird industry, in some ways its starting to become really progressive with series that represent different races, sexual orientation, feminism. With some great series by Boom and Image.
Then in an other way you'll see writers/artists and book characters ripped to shreds for trying to do anything different from the norm. With so many fans being well and truly bigots and racists about it.
I couldn't tell you if things are improving or getting worse *shrugs*

I thought she stepped away from comics? Or was it Twitter? I'd like to see her on another ongoing though.

It feels to me like the progression with characters and bringing in a wave of representation is because of higher ups trying to reach out and get a new audience (not that it's always the case, or that's even negative). The problem is it's a common problem of a good portion of comic fans revealing their bigotry with their own complaints whenever any change is made.
I'd say things are getting better because of this, because the bigotry was always there, but not the more progressive and new characters.

Slott deleted most of his tweets from yesterday before the retailer meeting started.
She needs to do a Liz solo book
Would love to have more news on Arkham 2 and WW: Earth One vol 2.

I'm fine with this. I was kind of hoping they'd keep the banner and ditch the "Rebirth" part. Seeing the name of the arc/issue at the top of the issue is nice, too. Unnecessary, but I like it.
Well yeah
Throwing a curve ball
I hung out with a friend and a couple of his friends and one of them used "Marvel" and "Diversity" in a way that was mocking.
It'll never get better. Not really. The bigotry will never go away, but hopefully the harrasment will.

The art on Soule's run has been amazing so far as I've been reading (up to Vol. 3 so far).
