COMICS |OT| September 2016. Comics Should Be Good.

If Marvel really wants to bring the X-Men back to glory, they need to make Deadpool the leader.

I'm honestly expecting a big relaunch for both the X and Inhuman books after the dust settles.

oh, no. Filler episode was kinda boring. Outside of the bit with Onion, of course. I think this show really shines when they're advancing the main plot.

I like their "filler" episodes more than most but this was weak and typical like the Sour Cream episode.

You know what comic has aged rather poorly?

Geoff Johns first New 52 Aquaman reboot arc. Taking a step back it's kind of obnoxious and its central theme of 'the comic book world thinks Aquaman is lame too!' makes no sense. It just wanted to make a point and it didn't really do anything interesting with the story or Aquaman character to justify going in that direction.
Can you say that arc really aged poorly when these same criticism's were apparent when it was going on? Lol.

I'd like Bendis to do a solo X character book.

And you would like that character to be Eva Bell.

I would like that character to be Eva Bell.
I think she's supposed to be returning at some point.

That was only in the first issue though. The stories that follow still hold up.

Actually I wanted to drop this at his tumblr but I said fuck it.

Is he going to actually make a new backstory for Miles? Obviously Hobbie isn't Aaron and that plot point is pretty damn important for Miles.

I guess this is all retreading to him.

I'd read a Glob mini-series by Bendis or a Colossus and Magik travelling through different realms type book would be awesome.

Glob is amazing

Isn't it Kitty he has a crush on? Totes Adorbz

If Marvel offered him Star Wars do you think he would take it?


That really depends on how you feel about Spider-Verse. Dan Slott doesn't really have a lot of hated work though outside of his later ASM stuff.

I honestly don't think he would. Especially considering how well regarded his current creator owned work is.
 
Honestly? Rogue.

Not worst choice. I'd read a Rouge solo book.

I think she's supposed to be returning at some point.

I hope so, because it would be a real waste of such a good character. I know she was created to serve as a Deus Ex Machina for Bendis to put everything back the way it was before his story, but she's such a great character I'd hate to not see her again.

I've loved all those different groups of students at the academy, but they always get replaced and almost all of them go no where.

I still miss Winddancer and Icarus and Surge.

He has a crush on Jean and it's cute as fuck. He's such a great character he was always a highlight during Wolverine and The X-men and I'm glad he's getting a some time in Extraordinary X-Men.

Aaron's technically doing the latter.

In Dr Strange? I'm a few issues behind on the Last Days Of Magic stuff.

Haha dude your cray!I couldn't possibly. Super excite for that book though it will be glorious, and on that day, we will shoot that shit

The cheapest gift card for comixology is a tenner. I would gladly take it out of my monthly budget for you to read what i think is the best book going right now.

Only one way to save the x-men.

Pay. Remender. Whatever. He needs.

Didn't think of that. I'd buy.

Also, what book is Yu drawing? Day one for me.

And yes, Glob is great. Love the stuff with him in Extraordinary.

That's it, it was Jean. Too cute. She doesn't even know :(

Poor Glob.

Poor Glob.

He almost told her an issue or two ago but then they got attacked by moloids. I wouldn't be surprised if Lemire has him confessing at some point again.

I actually don't mind Jean now compared to how she was written during All New X-men. She has a nice Grandfather-Granddaughter like relationship with Logan.

Carnage #3-5 - book continues to be better than it had any right to be as the first story concludes with Carnage getting a bit of Cthulhu in him and escaping. As usual, they actually made Carnage scary and they nailed the claustrophobic "Alien" vibe until shit got crazy with the cult. Fun book, and the only notch against it is Toxin's awful new look. Cant wait to see whats up next, especially when the cover to issue #6 is this:


Lolwhut
 
Yeah, but I thought it was cool how the art was showing her fight using it.
Interesting. Wait, they brought her back to life? When?
Bad art, you say?

"Aaaaand is THIS your arm?"
Black Adam looks like a magician going "Ta-Dah! Your forearm has disappeared!" Cyborg is less than thrilled by this trick.
"Look at the true power of SHAZ-OH SHIT OH FUCK"
Because Howling Commandos of SHIELD tracked so well
FUCKING WHY?!
you know that shit Claremont and the boyz did back in the 80s?

that

after we blow up everything in the current X-Men universe cuz nigga....its the WOAT
For real
Hasn't like every X-writer since tried that, including Claremont himself?
Morrison and Whedon managed it. I feel like Bendis tried?
Honestly? Rogue.
Interesting. Would the Cuckoos count as a solo?
Editorial. We've been over this so much it hurts.
Aaron's technically doing the latter.
So is Lemire
Glob is amazing

Nova #2-4 - Nova's dad isnt actually his dad (in a gruesome reveal) and that didnt take long to come out (issue #2 actually). As he fucks off when Sam wants to know wtf is going on, Sam goes to Tony for help, and has a little adventure with the other kid avengers vs the moleman (actually the moleman's son). Fun book, and Sam deffinately cant juggle kid oife with superhero life. Much like ANAD Avengers, these issues with Miles and Kamala just make me excited for Champions.

Finally got volume 1 of The Manhattan Projects deluxe edition. Not happy with the condition, but whatever. I don't feel like dealing with an Amazon third-party seller and it was less than IST, so oh well.

Do these include the whole run, or is it still ongoing? These contain 1-20 together.

Invincible is so fucking good. I'm on volume 7 and there's like 5 different plot threads going on and I'm enjoying the hell out of it because I have no idea what to expect because Kirkman takes his time to let things happen naturally. The art is seriously amazing as well there's a gruesome double spread in one of the last volumes featuring Mark and his dad that was one of the best things I've ever seen.

He's better off. Young Jean is the worst.

She's not as obnoxious or creepy with her powers anymore under Lemire. Beast is the worst of the O5 which is fitting.

Best Glob moment:
The Mercs book is only two issues in and the story is still being set up. The real interesting thing is that Marvel is advertising it as if Deadpool won't actually be a member of the team with them poking fun at his name being attached.

On the MU thing, I need to see more info, but this is sounding like this will make for a good book to collect in trade assuming it's works how I think it will.

So finally catching up on the news and see Resurrxction. I've got this weird thing with Storm seeing Xavier in Extraordinary that makes me think he might be coming back.
