The first issue didn't really give that feel at all.

Maybe I'll come back to it once I'm done reading other stuff. I was just really bored with it.

Funniest book around.

I quite liked the book, incredible art, made it to around volumes 4 or 5 before I dropped off. Even by trade, I kind of felt nothing was really happening in terms of some.of the great things they tease earlier and it was annoying me. Figured I would just wait until the rest of the series was totally done and pick up the rest of the trades if they stick the landing. It can bea pretty funny book at times though haha totally absurd

 

[LordOfLore]

Hard to know if this is a joke.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

I don't remember anythihng about that, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Isn't O5 Cyclops joining issue 2? that would be cool to get another person as well.

I'm fairly certain it's just when Tyke debuts.

Think you guys were right btw. Went back and found the interview - click. Since he'd already mentioned cyclops earlier in the interview, I thought he meant someone else, but reading the solicits again, I guess he was just being coy about what order they would show up in.

 

[Zombine]

Hard to know if this is a joke.

Ha, what's next? A Foolkiller book?

 

[arkon]

Btw, in that panel they mention that the writer of LoSH is maybe in that room so I'm guessing Levitz will be the one.

Edit: Hmm...

I certainly hope not. They need to give someone else a shot at it now. So much for the hope of a Hickman-written Legion title.

 

[Messi]

The new map is a little less awful than the other things.



Meh. Kate Hawkeye + Ms. America girlmance book pls.

Kelly told me on Twitter that it would be silly to do a Kate book that doesn't feature her best friend.

You are making a mistake. Chew is awesome.

 

[Primethius]

You are making a mistake. Chew is awesome.

I mean, if it gets considerably better, I'll give a couple more issues a try.

But if it's the same as the first one and I'm just not seeing it, then no thanks.

 

[whatsinaname]

Ah, true love.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

I'd say the tone and quality of the first volume is fairly equal, however a lot of good plot stuff happens near the end of the first volume, maybe give it the first volume? Honestly though if you got nothing out of that issue, I doubt you would change your mind, it's quite consistent

It obviously did something right. It went for 60 issues

 

[TheFlow]

First volume of chew was great. Just waiting for the sale in November to buy it all

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Is that the last ish in November?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Are there new interesting OHCs from Image upcoming?

 

[TheFlow]

Is that the last ish in November?

yes.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

The fade out by brubaker gets one in October man, really good

yes.

Sweet. As long as the reception is good I'll probably catch up in Jan or Feb

Thanks, sounds like a skip for me.

I'm sure it does. But this is for me and whether or by I should spend more money given my indifference to the first issue.

true, no need to spend the bucks for something you don't like.

How can comics stay healthy then? We all need to pull our weight and buy books that don't interest us. Haven't you been paying attention?

Primetheus didn't preorder each issue two months in advance and buy two for each family member. It's already too late for chew!

Cbr depressing me with its dark tower news. Everything about when they open their mouths to explain why they changed the structure of the plot/won't just adapt the first book terrifies me. We simplified things, and it lowered expenses....hnnng why say this out loud. Holding on to the quite decent casting and not much else at this point. Please surprise me.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

This Hal Jordan book is really fucking great.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

What was that really good YouTube channel someone posted the other day (Birdie?) where they do really good comic reviews? I remember looking at the channel but I forgot to subscribe. Can't find it in my history either.

 

[Farside]

Strip Panel Naked, but it's more criticism than reviews. I like Comicosity for reviews, but they tend to be SUPER positive.

No posting for me tonight, got a wedding reception to attend. Am I evil for wanting to wear tshirt and jeans? My girlfriend is treating me as if I'm evil. Not that I will, but I'd like to. If you're going to get smashed for a once in a life time occasion, why not do it comfortably.

Oh dear haha. Wikipedia'ed it:

all of the enemies in the game have been replaced with cyborg clones of popular X-Men characters, each with their own super powers; for example, Wolverine has his healing factor, Archangel is immune to rockets, etc.

Archangel's well known mutant ability, immune to rocket. Haha! Brilliant. I'd never heard of this before.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Cool article over at comicosity about Tom King's recent output: http://www.comicosity.com/dissecting-the-king-in-black-trilogy-omega-men-vision-and-sheriff-of-babylon/ . I didn't read too far in for fear of spoilers, but figured you guys would like it. Have omega men and vision in the post right now and sheriff of baby lon is in next week's batch, looking forward to seeing how they all stack up. Kept confusing myself if the first trade was put or not because I kept searching sheriff of Baghdad and getting no results haha

[whatsinaname]

Wow, I've been reading Sonny Liew's The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye and it is all kinds of amazing. It is presented as an art book of sorts, collecting excerpts from Chan Hock Chye's work - childhood sketches, comics, posters, magazine covers etc.

And the fascinating thing is, Chan Hock Chye is not real! Liew is using this created character, the self proclaimed "Singapore's Greatest Comic Artist" to paint a picture of Singapore, its peoples and major events throughout its history. Think Showa: A History of Japan meets This is Spinal Tap.

Wow that's amazing. Really neat concept and thw art is phenomenal. What publisher is this from? Glad you wrote about this, I hadn't heard anything of it before, really like Liew's art though.

Pantheon published it. It was recommended to me by someone on a facebook group and my Library had a copy.

It is crazy the number of different art styles Liew uses through the book, and I am only 20% through it!

[VanWinkle]

Oh YEEEESSS. Don't know if it's been posted, but DC is releasing a Zatanna by Paul Dini paperback next May. Collecting, check this out, ZATANNA #1-16, ZATANNA: EVERYDAY MAGIC and the BLACK CANARY AND ZATANNA original graphic novel.

Hasn't been solicited yet. It showed up on Amazon.

 

[tim1138]

Maybe CMX will finally upgrade the Zatanna series to HD so I can finally ditch my floppies.

 

[whatsinaname]

Hasn't been solicited yet. It showed up on Amazon.

It was listed in the Spring 2017 catalog.

There are a lot of Rebirth trades too if you wanted to look those up.
