I mean Upchurch and Wood are my favorite comic creators that are also shitty people.

I would say a third of it, based on trades. Vol. 1&2 were great a.k.a. The Upchurch and Seijic stuff. The Fowler stuff was shaky, but mostly bad with a few shining moments, like the Braga one-shot.
I can't separate that kind of act from the work. Being a dickhead in a professional sense I can deal with. But sexual assault. Fuck off.

I understand that, and that's totally fine. But I mean, I'm sure lots of things you consume (games, movies, etc.) were made in part by horrible people, you just don't hear about their misdeeds.
Sure. The hardcover collects all that is good including the braga one shot.
Sure. I don't knowingly support rapists. If I found out I was indirectly I would stop that.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Hell, even if he's good the internet fanboys will hate on him

Finished Secret Warriors: The Complete Collection Vol. 1. A lot of fun. Great art, completely captivating plot, if a bit predictable at some points. And I LOVE the wargames. So awesome. Only problem is that I don't really care as much about Fury's CATERPILLAR team as I think I'm supposed to. Daisy and Eden are alright. Alexander, Yo-yo, and Jerry are all my jam. I don't really care about J.T. though, and I care even less for Sebastian.
Can't wait to read the rest

yaaay. Yea, really good comic, jealous man
I wouldn't mind going through it again fresh ahah. I still have a lot of hickman's FF unread so that's my ace in the hole for when I need a really decent marvel run. You got the rest handy?RE: the Bru Cap run. It's really great, a lot of the tone from the Cap movies is cribbed from there, and some plot points obviously. Lots of other stuff not in there especially as it focused more on Bucky later. You get some good Nick stuff too. Well worth a look down the line. Even just the Winter Soldier series as a smaller thing was great.

Huh? Can you change it to today, like folks were tracking? Tomorrow is a no go for me.
It's probably Zombine's fault anyway.

Sadly I don't have the rest handy. It's at my LCS, so I'm gonna try to pick it up ASAP.

That's a shame. Dating back to the 10th post this thread, you've been saying Monday. I think we've all been tracking that.
I'm out, so the Flow can be back in and complete the league.
After finally reading the newest Moon Knight series, I almost wish there was an old school Nolan style film version of it (more Memento, less Inception)
I need to do a lot of reading of previous Moon Knight stories though, cuz I was honestly just there for the ride. I barely had any idea what was what.

no, you're right - it booked Yahoo Monday for the 12th, not the 6th (which i thought it was set to). i didn't notice until like an hour ago, by which point tonight's times was all booked up.
i'm real sorry guys

It's all cool on my end. I didn't even notice the date was off.
Good looking! I definitely will.

Haha definitely, you probably want to hunt down the actual SHIELD series he did too, I think Freeza mentioned earlier. You don't have to but it has a nice sitting point between his other works that enhance things.

Now if only it was actually finished. :3

What is even going on there. It's like hickman and weaver keep claiming they've did their end of the work but no final issues?
Was weavers secret wars thing any good btw?

From what I understand, yeah. Everything is done, just waiting on Marvel to actually publish the stuff. They're definitely going to reprint the entire run, I'm sure.

No hard feelings, mistakes happen. I can't draft until late Pacific time during the week, so no way for me to participate before the season starts. I dropped my team out, hopefully there numbers are still balanced for the league.

I like Bendis' run.
Everybody keeps saying that, but I'm not sure if I really want to dive into a book that is explicitly unfinished.

I liked the art. That was about it.
Sorry, hadn't really checked in to the thread today.
If you still need one, I will send you my email
Damn multiple opinions!! 3 issue rule it is.

I like Damian, but he's a complete mess. Different writers handle him so differently from one another and it makes it a mess to pin him down. He ranges from cocky little bastard to whiny brat, and everything in between. You're left with a Robin who is a 1%er douche in one scene, and a cow-loving Vegan in the next.
Also, I'm pretty sure he'd vote Trump if he could.

Omega Men is sold out on Amazon. You have to buy it from a third party until they get new stock. I think that's a good sign it's selling well.
I don't think he'd vote at all if he could. The only depictions I care for are Morrison's and Tomasi/Gleason. Anything else and he's just completely insufferable. Hope Percy gets it right.

People are buying comics? What's going on!?
