I was getting at the fact that this might be what the series needs. A character people might give a shit about. :3

What we deserved apparently
What the hell is this crap. Give him a supporting character sure but this looks like a complete rip off.
The Flow doesn't support robotic ladies.

I've been sleeping on aftershock in general, ut the preview for this looks great. I haven't read anything by Bennett bar a batman annual or so but I may go in on this.

How do you drop a comic after two issues?

She's considered to be a Pretender, actually, since she's a Decepticon. They were in the later G1 toys, they had an outershell that looked vaguely person-esque.
I always remember the WTF reaction I had to Octopunch:

What on Earth? Was that part of the Pretenders line?

Sure was. One of the concepts that put paid to the original line, along with Action Masters, who were Transformers....that didn't transform.
Read Angela and Bombshells also. Bennett is a top tier writer. Animosity is also really good. Her other aftershock book insexts is dope.

We had no idea how terrible Psychbat's power would actually be.

I agree with all this.
BC: Gillen's book is probably Aphra.(duh BC, a few hours late guess on that one)
See y'all tomorrow.
I'll probably end up reading the book at some point, but I really wasn't into it.

I'm about to drop Spider-Man/Deadpool after 2 issues. I guess I'll just stick with Duggan.

You have just reminded me of one of the final issues of the US Marvel TF comics that Simon Furman wrote-
I think it featured Nightbeat and some pretenders and I really enjoyed it.
Not many Pretenders in the current comic series although the term is brought up.
Headmasters are a different matter though ;P
Yeah but this was I believe the start of the White Dudes making books about POC outrage and people were on the Big 2s ass about it.
Sure, some books have a male writer with a female lead but if the guy has the good resume to pull it off, they won't be on a outrage. I saw a article the first time Marvel announced the Hip Hop covers and saw an article basically saying Marvel was appropriating black culture. This was before the Black Panther book was announced.

Much like the CBR forums. Comic threads are for complaining about comic books you don't even read.
Nick Spencer's Sam Wilson title has been some good shit. And Bendis' Miles title is pretty solid. That said, I do think diversifying the creators can be a benefit for the company. Like, I don't think Ms. Marvel would have captivated nearly as many people if were written by someone else.
"WAHHHH Jen is gonna be grimdark despite the fact it's not grimdark, just a tone going back to the Savage era."
One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

I'm looking forward to a new She-Hulk comic. The scars look sick.
So is she gonna get with Danny Rand? I noticed they were focusing on that thing that happened between them in the last issue of Power Man / Iron Fist
Yeah, but by the logic these advocates are using Willow shouldn't be writing the the character due to race.

True enough. I'm not that much of a stickler personally lol.
I think with Willow too is she's actually good writer so that definitely helps. I guess my standpoint is sometimes a writer who shares a similar background to the character can actually enhance the experience.
I'm the same way, but I don't like seeing writers being harassed off of books based solely on race or gender.

The bits I read, I wasn't a fan. Like the only thing walking away from the events was Steve Rogers getting his youth back.
Lol aren't you the same cat who just said they pull about 100 books a month.

OCTO PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH
Yeah and? You think because of that I don't make judgements on quality and what to spend my money on? I don't pull books I am not enjoying.

All the more reason to cut the ones that don't hook him quickly.

January going to hurt my wallet. Looking at Flash, Superman, AC, DC, and Batman TP's at the least.
That's cool and you don't have to. Doesn't make my statement any less true as it only applies to me.
