Other than Siege, I think all the tie ins were pointless.

And yet they were still the best part of the event.

All those SW tie-ins amounted to nothing.

Absolutely disgusting.

Any of you guys ever read the Poison Ivy Cycle of Life and Death miniseries? Thinking about getting the trade.

 

[Hagi]

The job was to expand on the batshit scenario presented in the main book and I think for the most part they achieved that fine. I'm glad they went the way they did for the tie ins, best handled event I can think of.

 

[mreddie]

The tie ins were fun but pointless.

Even A-Force which did nothing til the main series.

 

[BKatastrophe]

I was super hyped for this but man the direction Remender took with Pym just soured me on the whole book. Can't say I'd ever had that kind of reaction to a book before.

Reminds me that I still have that Waid Spider-man and the X-men graphic novel to read they brought out around the same time.

It's an incredibly strange ending for sure, and while it isn't the best book I've read, I still really enjoyed it. Although Pym was especially mopey

 

[BKatastrophe]

Other than Siege, I think all the tie ins were pointless.

Not all of them. The intention was to have a bunch of fun side stories to actually reflect the state of the MU. I made a list of all the tie-in stuff that has come into ANAD earlier, but I'll just do it again:
-A-Force, Old Man Logan, X-Men '92, and Renew Your Vows all are/have gotten ongoings/minis.
-Old Man Logan was explicitly to tell how he got from his timeline to current 616.
-Thors showed Ultimate Mjolnir making it in to 616
-Attilan Rising actually set up for the current Inhumans situation, with Medusa as queen and Black Bolt having his own set-up with the Quiet Room
-Siege obviously had Thanos making his play for the Shield and convincing Ben to rebel in the main story

That's the ones I remember and only from the ones I read.

My friend read it, and he really likes Poison Ivy, but he thought it wasn't good. Not terrible, but definitely not good.

I had just came off from Avengers A.I and was all "huh...you're doing this?" it just didn't feel natural to where Hank was and even then on the whole I didn't enjoy the writing too much. Maybe I should read it again see how I feel about it now.

I thought they might do something interesting with PymTron in Avengers but it just turned to the most obvious route. I think this whole thing should have been a bigger deal than it was, missed opportunity.

 

[jon bones]

You want to wait until the book is done so you can ask yourself why the fuck you didn't read it years ago?

trades don't seem to come out very often, and i'll forget everything if i read it over years

It's hard to say it's pointless when things actually come of it. The ultimate intent was for fun stories, which is what most, if not all, the ones I read were.

Imagine a new Ultron event that doesn't suck.

The only Ultron-related story I recall ever reading before RoU involved the Avengers crew going back in time and fighting Jocasta. Cap had his energy shield that could also turn into a staff, and Tigra was also part of the team.

By pointless I think they mean the books didn't directly tie into what the 616 characters were doing, though it was already mentioned that it was done like that for a reason, and you could argue in favor of books other than Siege in that regard.

Even then, some of them did. Thors also did, as it had the process of Jane causing the uprising, which we don't get to really see in the main book.

Alright, I'm convinced. I'll buy the first few issues with my weekly haul tomorrow and see how it goes.

That's a mighty strong declaration there, friend. Also, it's only your favorite ongoing until Marvel decides to cancel.

Question: Is Kyle's faith something that's been focused on recently? I fell off GL for a most of New 52 and I don't remember it being a big part of the character previously.

Much like his Hispanic heritage, his faith in Catholicism was never explored until this comic.

God damn. Do you actually get sketches on these or do you just collect the covers

I get sketches on them depending on the artist...some people don't like working on them due to the paper used on some of them...some just prefer their own paper.
Dynamite's covers are the worst and I wouldn't subject anybody to using them. Waxy glossy bullshit that fights pencils pens and markers. Marvel's have gotten much better from around AvX forward.

 

[Ross61]

Man, Doom Patrol plus the other Young Animal titles.And all those DC mini's. And Hanna-Barbera. DC really killing it by the end of the year.

Yo, I'm not sure how this works..... but does Didio have to go ask permission to use other Warner Bros properties?

ComicGAF post if you're OK

Morning guys.

I am not able to post artworks and 3D modells out of resepect for my source, but I will give you the little information that I have.

Indeed, WB Montreal is working on two games right now.

Suicide Squad, in which they go help from Rocksteady.

- is a brawler
- you create your own avatar, grow it out, with tiers of rewards
- many characters to choose
- coop-action
- Borderlands esque

targeted for 2017 release.

Next game is the Damian Wayne game.

- has been greenlit last summer
- 10 years in the future (I think our future from 10 years now, not quite Batman Beyond)
- Bruce is old and has a beard
- harness on his leg
- uses a walking stick
- is mentoring Damian Wayne to be the new Batman
- Damian has a Batbike
- lots of great characters and also new ones, lot's or redesigns, like Black Mask being a female
- Dick's in it, has a shaved head
- some other villains are Flamingo, Poison Ivy and White Rabbit(old, looks like a granny)

Game is starting to roll in production, so we might no see it for a while, but I am very excited.

Speculation:

Schreier had written on Twitter that a lot of developers want to go the route of announcing a game and releasing it shortly after, like Fallout 4. It's up in the air when we are going to see Suicide Squad, let alone that Damian game.

EDIT: These games are not labeled Arkham, so this is probably an alternative continuity!

Damian is the son Bruce always wanted, while Dick is the son he never wanted.

Haha, yea, fair enough. Also - BUSTED. I went to use our HANDY DANDY list of QUESTIONNAIRES from last month for a little more context on what you read man, and guess what - you didn't do it!!! You get to fight deathstroke in a climactic tank battle for this.

It's really hard for me to write up my favorite series. I like PM&IF because:
-The dynamic between Luke and Danny is great
-The bok can be funny at times
-The story is good and can tell serious stories, while still being fun
-I'm a big fan of the art
-Cool cameos from old characters
