Wasn't there a Star Trek episode that had a very similar premise?

Bendis isn't perfect, but this feels like a nitpick. There are a lot of latin people that don't call their grandmother abuela.

People nitpick and blame Bendis for random stuff all the time.

I agree that Bendis doesn't get culture but Miles is just a kid who isn't in tune with his Puerto Rican side and honestly that's fine. There are so many Latinos that don't know spanish. It's just like that.
Is that a parody post? Please tell me it is.
Wow, this fictional character doesn't speak in the stereotypical way I think all Latinos speak! Do your homework, writer!

I know people have a hard-on for crucifying Bendis, and it wouldn't be a bad idea for someone to take the reigns from him since he's writing so many books right now (Miles the longest)...
But come the fuck on. Christ.

I'm sorry I'm too tired to offer up anything else.
That play is very intense. She was great.
Too long
Anyways, I hope they actually bring him back and this isn't a one time cameo.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Time for the prince to return.
This is the path forward, Marvel. You got it with Wolverine, offering every version of Wolverine under the sun at once. You seemingly figured it out with Hawkeye, though the book is just okay. Just... do that for everyone.
My best friend is half-Korean and speaks absolutely no Korean whatsoever.
I...did pretty well at the St. Jude's auction.
A lot of stuff went low but there were 175 items so they broke the record.
The Cho Harley went for 2300, the Frank Miller (which turned out to be about 18x24 inches) only went for 4,000.
They got some nice late entries too - a J. Scott Campbell Spidey/Mary Jane sketch cover that went for 3,000 and an Alex Ross cover

Your friend doesn't call his grandmother "할머니"?! *jaw on the floor* *gasp*

Messi, did you like Telltale's incarnation of Harley Quinn?
I was at her play in nyc. I may have been in the second row. It ends tomorrow tho.
Haven't had time to play it yet.

Harley is great, but Talia is the best.

Somehow, someway, I will get there.

Who was the Superboy in the New 52 then?
Bendis doesn't write him as a Hispanic, he writes him as a regular kid who has Spider Stuff.
OUTRAGE!

The teaser for the Runaways looks good.

DC does Dark Knight Returns lightning jump homages like Marvel does Wolverine in the sewers ready for payback homages.
We're not going to get anything tomorrow. Marvel is just going to ride the currently announced big storylines until some time in Winter when they start to announce stuff like the new Avengers line.
It seemed like they brought Nick Spencer to that Cup O' Joe for no reason other than for Brevoort to make a comment that he's done ruining Captain America.

Was Dick ever turned into a Talon? I read Robin War, but it just showed him joining. Not a Talon. I can't find the page, but there's a scene in Grayson where it shows every incarnation of Dick, and one of them has him in something akin to a Talon suit.

It's not happening. Legacy is their DCYou. You got another six months to a year before they have anything to really right the ship, if at all.
Ding ding ding.
Jeebus, this fucking con was a joke.
I tried to warn you lol. Last year's announcements were America and Deadpool the Duck.

Conner needs to come back without the stupid t-shirt/jeans look, but he absolutely needs to come back. Best Superboy. Also, I had a feeling James Tynion was going to be great when he was working on Talon. He proves it with every issue of Detective he writes.
That makes me not like Bunn very much, and he's usually very good.Anything to drag Bendis for not letting someone else write Miles even though he came up with the character and isn't done writing him. Plus it feels like there've been mild references to how his mother is more in touch with her Latin heritage than Miles, so I'm thinking it was a purposeful choice. If you want the kid more in touch with his Latin background, that's Nova.
LOL. I remember having faith in DCYou til they proved they were just going to keep botching it up. Still, it didn't last terribly long at all before DC got the picture. I think they're staying quiet until all their pieces are in place after the Avengers weekly.

Fixed. It is probably the only T-shirt and jeans look that worked. Ever.
Agreed. They tried it with New 52 Supes and it sucked.
It was just a dream...
Also, GWW was ALMOST leaving Mahvoo over the PMC thing.

Fixed, and accurate. If its not Conner with the shades and the leather jacket I'm not sure what we're even doing. Mopey Conner wasn't cool.
Edit: Okay I'm wrong. Cass rocked the T-Shirt and Jeans look eventually and that worked for her.
Luke Cage.

Point taken! Another good one. Modern Cage just needs the black and yellow.
Damn. Need to pick that up.

Finished Grayson. Pretty much the best.
Time travel clone shenanigans? I see.

I ignore most of Twitter. If its not creators of work I enjoy or some people I know personally, I'm probably better off that way.

I checked out this superboy character in Wikipedia, read the first couple paragraphs and still have no idea who this person is or how he connects to Superman, exactly. For that matter, who is Superman, even. There are two or something? And people say Marvel is confusing.
I'm happy you got to not only see her, but enjoy her work in person. Must have been so exciting!

Oh boy, New 52 Superboy... was... complicated. He's basically a clone of Superman & Lois's son, from the future (Jon Kent), created by an organization that wants to capture all meta humans and brought Superboy to the present time to help do that.
He fought the Titans, Supergirl, etc., and eventually became a good guy. And he actually had a really good death scene, it was a three part crossover with Superman/Supergirl/Superboy. Pretty good way to end him when all is said and done.
But then he came back after some time travel shenanigans, but he got replaced with Jon Kent. Jon Kent ended up back with the Titans in the present timeline, and masqueraded as Conor, while Conor stayed in the future I think.
Idk, that shit was confusing. And bad.

I stand by Some Nobody. This is the hill I will proudly die on. While T-Shirt and jeans is a good look and not necessarily bad even, it lacks all personality and style that Conner had before.
Well at least he wasn't New 52 Bart Allen lol.
