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

Reading East of West... didn't really connect with the first few issues, but now... whoosh, I'm off to the races. Image books are killer books.

Hickman stuff usually takes a bit to get into. I think he knows that at this point which is why the first issue of his new book, The Black Monday Murders was so big. About 50 pages.

Captain America: Sam Wilson

damn good start. and a great way to tackle a lot of problems with the Government and people who reside in America.

4/5. will continue to read.

Aaron basically manages to fit the whole shebang in for a perfect first issue. Truthfully I haven't read alot of solo strange over the years so I don't know how new or different the characterisation is, but as a newcomer it's exciting.

Told you it was good. Notice the hands yet?

Yeah, I got into BMM a bit more quickly. Up to issue #5 in EoW and holy shit, this book is firing on all cylinders.
 
Freeza is an asshole for that comment. Can't forget that.

You guys haven't whined this much since the last Frank Cho commission.
 
Sorry i was behind.

I only see people use that gif to be an asshole about something.

I mean, I understand it seemed shitty, but I literally had no idea who the guy was. I didn't read Fantastic Four pretty much at all until Hickman. Sure, pretty much anything on this forum can be answered via a Google search, but that doesn't facilitate conversation.

Maybe people took it in a bad way because Wieringo died a couple of years ago.
Thats said, I didnt considered your post to be mean, even while I wasnt sure if you were serious or not.

That was my guess when people started reacting the way they did. But man, I'd never heard of him so I don't know how it was assumed everyone knew who the guy was. He's not a huge name like a Brubaker or a Hickman. Especially for someone who wasn't paying attention to comics between 1996 and 2006.

Keeping my asshole detector on from now on.

Toradora is such a great show.

Freeza has done way worse things too. Like proclaiming his love for Chris Bachalo. I mean gross right?

I dont know, He died around the time I started reading comics, but he seemed to be a really big name for a pencilist.

Black Panther #6


well damn fuck these people. trying to get Panther to run a dictatorship. This issue basically setups why BP has to get the fuck out of Wakanda.

4/5 lots of setup and anger all around

It's not so much that they're trying to get him to go down that route just because. It's about showing strength as a leader. You can generally only choose one. Either be strong, or liked. There are always going to be dissenters to any leadership, and showing leniency toward them will make you appear weak.

Pretty much.

Coates is doing a great job of showing to the reader what it takes to lead and how a great nation can be destroyed within.

lot of morally grey spots in each issue on both sides.

New Superman #2

I enjoyed this read but it wasn't as funny or exciting as the first issue. kenan is so dumb but he has the makings of a superhero somewhere in there.

4/5 will continue to read. 3 bucks a month is not bad

A lot of things have happened to comics-gaf lately, whether it be spider porn links, the epidemic of psychbat gifs, Messi finally getting banned for liking soccer, or readers who still think it's okay to talk about Valiant in a positive way.

But i will never, not ever, forget the day where Freeza said something that people didn't like. This must ends folks, it has to.

I haven't seen any Spider porn, Messi is unbanned, I thankfully have PsychBat on ignore and nothing of value was lost...

but Freeza is still here

something must be done

Is me being unbanned a positive or a negative. I can't decipher it.

Jim Zub is a quality writer.
 
So I just finished reading War of the Green Lanterns and with
Hal losing his ring
, I was wondering what comes next? Sounds like War of the Green Lanterns: Aftermath would be next, but the Amazon reviews don't seem to indicate that it's worth reading because it's just small side stories of the aftermath of the events that happened at the end of the War of the Green Lanterns.

What would come after that? I mainly just want to know what happens to Hal.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Christ, don't know whether to laugh or be annoyed that Bendis can't/doesn't keep continuity between his own three books
